All engines have a maximum allowable engine back pressure specified by the engine manufacturer. Operating the engine at excessive back pressure might invalidate the engine warranty. To facilitate retrofitting of existing engines with DPFs, especially using passive filter systems, emission control manufacturers and engine users have been requesting that engine manufacturers increase the maximum allowed back pressure limits on their engines.
Mufflers generally result in maximum back pressures in the range of 6 kPa. In exhaust systems with a DPF, the back pressure can rise to significantly higher levels—especially if the filter is heavily loaded with soot.
Table 1 outlines the VERT recommended back pressure limits for a range of engines sizes. The exhaust pressure for large engines was limited to low values due to valve overlap and high boost pressure considerations. Engine manufacturers are usually much more conservative on their back pressure limits.
In setting back pressure limits, many factors must be taken into consideration. These include the effect on turbocharger performance, exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and exhaust temperature. The limit that a particular engine can tolerate will depend on specific design factors and making general recommendations is difficult. Note: The critical point data and ideal gas constant for steam can be found on the first page of the steam tables.
Assume that atmospheric pressure is kPa. We first develop the solution in terms of the Hydrostatic Equation on an elemental height of the column of air, the Ideal Gas Equation of State, and the Temperature Lapse Rate equation, as follows:.
In this case we develop the solution in terms of a force balance between the bouyancy force weight of the displaced air and the gravity force including the weight of the hot air, the balloon empty mass, and the payload mass. The maximum altitude occurs when those two forces are equal, as follows:. Finally - with kg payload at least 2 persons can share and enjoy this wonderful experience.

The associated metrological properties of the instruments lead to a low uncertainty contribution of the working standard. Each graph has the true pressure along the horizontal axis and the output pressure signal given by the calibration function of each instrument along the vertical axis. On these graphs, the ideal instrument output signal is the straight line passing through the origin with a slope equal to unity. Let us denote f RSG the calibration function of the RSG and f 10 k that of the CDG: both output signals given by the functions are coinciding with the ideal instrument output signal at the time of their respective calibration.
Sometime later graph a, Fig. As for that of the CDG, it still crosses zero, as U 0 is determined each time of using, but the slope has drifted slightly. Procedure to correct the working standard. The straight line passing through the origin with a slope equal to unity represents the output signal of the ideal instrument. In Figure 9 which shows the deviation at the calibration points over the entire range, one can see that f RSG cannot be expressed by means of a single function.
After two hours of pumping, the CDG10k output voltage U 0 is recorded. The pump is then switched off and Valve VP is closed. At the same time, the calibration chamber connected to the other side of the valve VM is filled up to the first pressure calibration level. Valve VM is opened to start a calibration.
From the functions f 1 , f 2 , and f 3 used to model the RSG and the actual calibration pressure, the linearity errors have been calculated. Since the RSG is calibrated by increasing and decreasing pressure levels, the determined linearity errors also include the hysteresis error of the RSG. A closer analysis shows that the main error is due to the hysteresis effect as one can observe Fig. The characterisation of the working standard took place during the study of a low pressure transfer standard [ 1 ], as well as in the framework of the EMPIR project 14IND06 [ 8 ].
The CDG10k used was a differential one; however, its behaviour is analogous to that of an absolute CDG and so has similar performances.
Note that the modelling errors of the CDG10k Sect. As the overall performance of the transfer standard is based on the correction slope of the RSG, it is important to check to what the extent it is affected by temperature.
The variation in the correction slope of the transfer standard RSG was studied as a function of temperature. We first calculate the uncertainty contribution of the working standard. The calibration uncertainty for the gauge FPG is 1. Furthermore, the RSG linearity error is used to calculate the uncertainty contribution of the working standard Tab.
Field capacity FC is the threshold at which water in larger pores has been drained away by the force of gravity. An irrigation application depth that causes SWC to go above FC is not desirable, because the additional water will percolate to deeper layers and will not be available to plant roots.
At FC, the water content of the soil is considered to be ideal for crop growth. Thus, FC is usually considered as the upper threshold for irrigation management. Most agricultural soils reach field capacity one to three days after an irrigation or rainfall event. At this threshold, typical VWC varies from 20 percent in sandy soils to 40 percent in clay soils 2. When salinity is a concern, increasing SWC to levels above FC may be appropriate to leach salts below the root zone. Permanent wilting point PWP is the threshold where it becomes impossible for plants to extract water at a rate fast enough to keep up with their water demand.
At PWP, soil particles hold the water so strongly that it becomes difficult for plant roots to extract it. At this threshold, transpiration water use by plants and consequently other processes vital to plant survival come to a near stop. This causes a significant reduction in crop growth and yield of crops. The value of PWP varies with the type of plant, soil and climate, ranging from 7 percent in sandy soils to 24 percent in clay soils 0.
The soil matric potential at this threshold ranges from to 3, kPa. Above FC, water is available to plants only for a short period of time one to three days , then lost to drainage. Below PWP, plants cannot apply enough force to extract the remaining water. Thus, SWC outside this range is considered not available to plants.
Sandy soils cannot hold a large amount of water and have the lowest amount of TAW, whereas, medium texture soils, such as silt loam and silty clay loam have the largest TAW. Therefore, sandy soils need to be irrigated more often than loam soils. A comparison between values presented in these two tables shows differences in soil water thresholds for the same soil types.
This is because numbers in Table 1 represent U. Except for the loam soil, all other soil samples collected from Oklahoma had a smaller TAW compared to national averages. This suggests more frequent irrigations and smaller volumes may be required since sampled soils had a smaller capacity for holding water available to plants. Management allowable depletion MAD is the portion of the total available water TAW that can be depleted before plants experience water stress and potential growth reduction consequently yield reduction.
Although plants can extract water across the entire range of TAW, the cost is not the same. Table 1. Typical soil water thresholds for different soil textures sampled across the U.
Table 2. Soil water thresholds for different soil types sampled in central and southwest Oklahoma. Unlike previous thresholds that were mainly a function of soil type, the value of MAD is a function of stress tolerance, growth stage and water use of the crop. This value is small for sensitive crops, such as some vegetables and is larger for crops that can tolerate higher water stress without affecting their yield.
For example, a sensitive crop like lettuce has MAD of 0. A less sensitive crop, such as cotton has MAD of 0. Table 3 shows typical values of MAD and maximum root zone depth for different types of crops. The MAD values represent average crop water use condition of 0. If the crop water use is higher than 0. For sensors that report SMP, the irrigation can be triggered at values presented in Table 4 for different types of crops. Irrigation must be applied when SMP values, recorded by soil water sensors and averaged over the root depth reach or exceed limits in Table 4, depending on the climate.
The smaller values of SMP are for a dry, warm climate and larger values are for humid, cool climate.
