Performance Prediction of Hydroelectric Power Station Utilizing Osmotic Pressure as Driving Force.

Prediction of Francis Turbine Prototype Part Load Pressure and Output Power Fluctuations with Hydroelectric Model

The prediction of pressure and output power fluctuations amplitudes on Francis turbine prototype is a challenge for hydro-equipment industry since it is subjected to guarantees to ensure smooth and reliable operation of the hydro units. The European FP7 research project Hyperbole aims to setup a methodology to transpose the pressure fluctuations induced by the cavitation vortex rope from the re...

The high osmotic pressure in a lens fiber as a driving force for the development of senile cortical cataract

In lens cataract, the clouding change in the lens leads to a decline of transparency of a part of the lens. There are three types of senile cataract: cortical cataract, nuclear cataract, and posterior/anterior sub-capsular cataract. The cataract that develops in most old people is cortical cataract. The clouding change in senile cortical cataract begins from the edge of the lens and develops pr...

Prediction of Evaporation, Pressure Driving Force, and Heat Transfer in Calandria Tubes

A heat transfer model of boiling flow in steam heated calandria tubes is presented. The model predictions for vapour formation, heat transfer and pressure difference are compared with experimental data and yield reasonable agreement. Characteristic curves are presented showing predicted evaporation rate, heat transfer and pressure difference for a set of parameters representative of a high grad...

What Is The Driving Force Behind Industrial Development In Iran? Rent Seeking And Labor Exploitation As The Driving Force Of Industrial Growth

Alzheimer's disease and driving: prediction and assessment of driving performance.

OBJECTIVES To examine driving competence in a group of drivers diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in terms of a standardized open road evaluation and expert judgments. To examine the validity of a standardized medical examination, including administration of the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE), and a standardized neuropsychological assessment as predictors of open road driving perf...
