In this study, turbine modelling of a geothermal sourced organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plant is aimed. Thermodynamic model the constructed with help design and off-design data from an existing two-cycle in southwestern Anatolia. Utilizing statistical analysis tools such as maximum likelihood estimation probability distribution, variables are obtained within their standard deviations. Stodol...

Dysphagia, a widely suffered disease mainly by seniors, causes food swallowing-related issues such as choking, aspiration, aspiration pneumonia, and even death. Designing special diets thickened fluids (e.g. water, milk, soups, juices) is an essential means of managing swallowing problems for people with dysphagia. This review discusses intrinsic influencing factors surface tension, viscosity, ...

Solutions that aim to reduce water production in heavy oil wells have led the design of devices known as rate-controlled (RCP) autonomous inflow-control device (AICD) valves, which are placed well completions and autonomously open with inflow close by choking flow. These devices, based on Bernoulli’s principle, use a levitating disk chokes flow phase lowest resistance. This study proposes numer...

Popular P2P system with centralized coordinator (tracker), whose address can be found in the torrent metafile. Nodes divided into seeders owning a complete download of the file and leechers, which are still in progress of downloading the file. Upload decisions are made using a choking algorithm based on the download rates received from remote peers. At regular intervals an optimistic unchoke ta...

Deaths from choking are a major cause of childhood mortality, especially in the very young. Whole grapes are ideally suited to cause paediatric airway obstruction and, though regularly implicated, knowledge that this popular fruit, and other similarly shaped foods, is a choking hazard is not widespread. We present the cases of three children who presented to our institution after grape aspirati...

This paper presents the electrothermal model of inductors dedicated to the analysis of dc-dc converters in SPICE and the proposed method of determining parameters of this model. The parameter estimation algorithm of this model is described in detail. The results of verifi cation of the correctness of the model and the estimation procedure for arbitrarily selected choking coils are presented. Ve...

Foreign body aspiration most commonly affects young children, with respiratory symptoms such as wheeze and cough after a choking episode. When the foreign body is first inhaled as per witnessed by the parents or caregiver there is always choking or gaging episode, followed by a coughing spell. The absence of a cough strongly rules out the possibility of foreign body having entered the air passa...

Choking phobia is a relatively uncommon phobic disorder which is often encountered by otorhinolaryngologists and referred to psychiatrists as a cause of psychogenic dysphagia. If not diagnosed early and treated appropriately, it can have severe detrimental effects on the physical and psychological health of an individual. We present a case of a 20 year old female who presented with choking phob...

The rate-controlled production (RCP) inflow control devices (ICDs) are valves placed in the lower completion of oil and gas wells, capable autonomously controlling reservoir inflow. This technology self-regulates undesired phases, such as water, by choking flow after breakthrough event, thus improving recovery factor reducing water production. In this context, article presents a numerical study...
