New combined PIC-MCC approach for fast simulation of a radio frequency discharge at low gas pressure. Abstract A new combined PIC-MCC approach is developed for accurate and fast simulation of a radio frequency discharge at low gas pressure and high density of plasma. Test calculations of α − γ transition in a ccrf discharge in helium and argon show a good agreement with experimental data. We de...

submersible water pump Shiv Lal, Pawan Kumar, Rajeev Rajora Department of Mechanical Engineering, Rajasthan Technical University Kota, India Email:[email protected] Abstract: The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) array based water pumping system situated at Kota Rajasthan (25.18 N and 75.83 E), India has been studied. A 2hp DC motor with 2200W (10 panels of each 225W) have been used for disch...

Two common general anaesthetic techniques were compared to evaluate the time taken for the patient's mental efficiency to recover sufficiently for him to be escorted home after inguinal herniorrhaphy. Recovery in performance efficiency to at least 60% of the patient's own maximum is suggested as a criterion for discharge, and this needs a stay in hospital of seven to nine hours.

The need to increase the efficiency of health care systems is becoming an obligation, and one of area of improvement is the discharge process. The objective of this work is to minimize the patients discharge time (for insured patients) to be less than 50 minutes by using six sigma approach, this improvement will also: lead to an increase in customer satisfaction, increase the number of admissio...

A glacier submodel was successfully integrated into the distributed hydrological model WaSiM-ETH to simulate the discharge of a heavily glaciated drainage basin. The glacier submodel comprises a distributed temperature index model including solar radiation to simulate the melt rate of glaciated areas. Meltwater and rainfall are transformed into glacier discharge by using a linear reservoir appr...

The discharge quality and optimum pump parameters of a long-pulse high-pressure gas discharge excited KrCl laser are investigated. A three-electrode prepulse–mainpulse excitation circuit is employed as pump source. The discharge volume contains a gas mixture of HCl/Kr/Ne operated at a total pressure of up to 5 bar. For a plane–plane resonator, the divergence of both output laser beams is measur...

An investigation of the conversion from anode electrical energy to jet kinetic energy in a laboratory model Hall thruster yielded an experimentally determined thrust efficiency that was analytically decomposed into the product of propellant, voltage, and current utilization efficiency. This method accounts for loss of propellant utilization from plume divergence, unionized propellant, and multi...

The paper is focused on identification and measurement of the main parameters of the stacked supercapacitors (SC). The volt-ampere method was used to measure the charge/discharge characteristic, impedance spectroscopy method for measurement of the equivalent serial resistance and analysis of the dynamic parameters. The measured and calculated parameters are: equivalent serial resistance (ESR), ...
