21 Oct Mobility, transport and traffic – major themes of sustainable development / Mobilitatea, transportul şi traficul – teme majore ale dezvoltării durabile

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)
2013
The integrated education in view of sustainable development requests the study of the following themes: population (structure and spatial distribution), manner of living, organizational structures and their administration, spatial structures, technical structures and ecological environment. In synthetic approach, the level of sustainable development of the territory subordinated of the mentioned themes has to be assessed by sustainable development indicators - EUROSTAT - existing in Romania.

18 Oct Two fundamental questions on the essence of the direct method from finite speed thermodynamics and its difference from other methods of irreversible engineering thermodynamics / Două întrebări fundamentale privind esența metodei directe din termodina

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)
2013
The paper essentially consists of the answers to two important questions related directly to Fundamentals of the Finite Speed Thermodynamics (TVF) and Direct Method (DM), namely, (1) what is Direct Method? Why is it called so? There is also an "indirect method"?, respectively (2) how can First Law for processes with Finite Speed catch irreversibility of these processes, knowing that First Law represents an energy balance of the system, and that it also "catches what remains in the system?".

18 Oct Effect of irreversibilities estimated with the direct method on the Stirling engine performance

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)
2013
The paper presents new computation scheme of Stirling engine performance that was elaborated in the frame of Thermodynamics with Finite Speed and the Direct Method. Based on the new expression of the First Law of Thermodynamics for Irreversible Processes with Finite Speed that is integrated on each process of the cycle, a completely analytical model of the Stirling engine cycle is developed.
