This paper presents a method of production and properties of ethyl esters as well as the differences between them and methyl esters.
The properties of rapeseed oil are mainly determined by the way in which it is obtained from seeds.
The most important factors which affect seeds quality include: • ripeness, • presence of damaged seeds, • humidity of seeds after harvest and during the storage period, • storage conditions.
Ethyl esters have a lower melting point as compared to the more popular methyl esters, which results in the former’s superior properties at low temperatures [6].

For this purpose a model of linear, time-invariant, mass-damper-spring mechanical system was defined, schematic of which is showed in the Fig 1.
Schematic of a mechanical system used for simulation The model consists of eight masses interconnected with each other using spring (proportional stiffness) and damper (proportional damping) elements.
Dynamic properties of examined model Mode no.
Some minor residual traces of can be spotted in the remaining frequency bands, however their amplitude does not affect the general image.
Construction of modal filter requires a knowledge of modal parameters of a system (natural frequencies and damping factors) which can be estimated by performing a modal analysis.

Monitoring Method of Stray Current in Coal Mine on Optical Fiber Sensing Technique Cai Lihuaa, Li Weib and Fang Haifengc School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, 221116, China acailihua1984@163.com, bliweicumt@163.com, cfhf@cumt.edu.cn Keywords: Stray current, Optical fiber sensors, Magneto-optic effect, Linear birefringence Abstract.
Introduction Safety production is affected seriously by stray current, which is produced by the DC electric locomotive haulage network in coal mine.
The fundamental rule of the optical fiber sensing is that characteristic parameters (amplitude, phase, polarization state, wavelength, etc) presenting optical wave when light propagates in an optical fiber changes directly or indirectly due to environmental factors (temperature, pressure, magnetic field, displacement, rotation, etc ), thereby, optical fibers are used as sensing elements to detect various physical quantities.
It has a great influence on the system with the linear birefringence caused by fiber bending, which creates the output of the polarization state is not stable, and which affects the measurement accuracy and reduces the linearity of the system output curve.
The linear polarized light with high cylindrical birefringence optical fibers travel with high extinction coefficient which is in random azimuth angles of incidence, in the meantime, the circular-birefringence brought by torsion can resist the influence of fiber polarization property from external disturbance to a certain extent, therefore, high cylindrical birefringence optical fiber is suitable to be applied in the fiber-optic current sensor field.

These comprise advection, hydrodynamic dispersion (mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion), adsorption, precipitation, and complexation [4].
Mechanical Dispersion Water molecules in a porous medium follow different paths; therefore, each encounters different flow conditions.
These variations in particle flow velocities are responsible for pollutant spreading, a mechanism known as mechanical dispersion [10].
In this work, the effluent dispersion model in porous media described in [12] was utilized, along with the following fundamental assumptions, considering the physical and chemical processes associated with contaminant migration in the soil: · The soil is considered a saturated porous medium, meaning all pores are fully filled with water; · Contaminant flow through the soil is transient and two-dimensional; · Contaminant release is continuous; · The physical properties of the contaminant medium and soil are considered constant (homogeneous); · The advective effect of the contaminant in the X direction is negligible compared to the diffusive term; · Mass flux in Y is much greater than in X; · There is no migration of contaminants through the boundaries of the X axis; · Diffusive processes in the soil are negligible compared to diffusion in the contaminant; · A uniform velocity profile is considered for contaminant flow.
Conclusions Groundwater pollution affects different ecosystems that depend on this environment, making it extremely necessary to study methods that predict how it can be reached through pollutants.

In addition, external factors such as regular earthquakes contribute to infrastructure breakdowns.
Extremely high corrosion was found to be a major factor in the collapse of the reinforced concrete, which led to the reinforcement cracking.
The distribution of potential values observed on a concrete surface is subject to the influence of various external factors, including the thickness of the concrete layer and the level of density of the concrete mixture [10], [11].
The combining of liquid and solid-based electrodes exhibits various advantageous characteristics, such as an efficient fabrication method, reliability, and disposable properties.

Introduction Nanoscaled thin films open new opportunities for the design of materials with novel or enhanced properties.
Nanocomposite thin films consisting of hard constituents can exhibit mechanical properties that are critical to magnetic storage devices, cutting tools, and biomedical implants [2].
Multilayer thin films of alternating nanoscaled carbon layer and metal layer provide excellent wear and friction properties [3].
As a result, both factors of sputter yield and thermalization distance indicate that the Pt film would have the highest deposition rate while the carbon film would have the lowest deposition rate.
