The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology is analyzed and calculated utilizing the turbulence model multiphase flow to explore performance of internal circulating fluidized beds (ICFB) based on CFD. three-dimensional simulation method can study hydrodynamic properties ICFB, bed optimized. fluidization ICFB improved through experimental cross-shaped baffle. Then, baffle funnel-shaped pla...

introduction patients with palliated congenital heart disease may present later in life for major, non-cardiac surgical procedures. although alternative surgical techniques are now available for the treatment of the transposition of the great arteries (tga), an atrial level baffle (mustard or senning procedure) was previously performed. long-term adverse effects of the atrial level switch inclu...

In this article, mixed convection heat transfer of alumina-water nanofluid in an inclined and baffled C-shape enclosure is studied. It is assumed that the flow is laminar and steady. There is no energy production, energy storage and viscous heat dissipation. Furthermore, the nanofluid is considered as a continuous, Newtonian and incompressible fluid. Governing equations are discretized by finit...

Three-wave turbulent interactions and the role of eddy size on the turbulent electromotive force are studied in a spherical liquid-sodium dynamo experiment. A symmetric, equatorial baffle reduces the amplitude of the largest-scale turbulent eddies, which is inferred from the magnetic fluctuations spectrum (measured by a 2D array of surface probes). Differential rotation in the mean flow is >2 t...

The modal low frequency noise generated by a vibrating elastically supported circular plate embedded into a flat infinite baffle has been examined. The main aim of this study is the analysis of the radiation efficiency. Low frequency approximated formulas have been presented. They are valid for all the limiting boundary conditions of the plate with its edge clamped, guided, simply supported or ...

We model diffraction errors found when using toothed apertures [L. P. Boivin, Reduction of diffraction errors in radiometry by means of toothed apertures, Appl. Opt. 17, 3323-3328 (1978)]. Using toothed (cf. circular) apertures minimizes diffraction by inducing destructive interference within the diffracted signal. Since diffraction effects can be quite complicated, their over-all reduction may...

a micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with fluent software. in upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...

Three patients developed protein-losing enteropathy caused by intra-atrial obstruction of the systemic venous return after Mustard's operation. The enteropathy resolved in one case after reoperation and in the others after balloon dilatation of the stenosed caval pathways. Protein-losing enteropathy may occur as a complication of Mustard's operation. Balloon dilatation of the obstructed baffle ...
