Designing an aircraft without conventional control surfaces is of interest to aerospace community. In this direction, smart actuator devices such as synthetic jets have been proposed to provide aircraft maneuverability instead of control surfaces. In this article, a numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of unsteady suction and blowing oil airfoils. The unsteady suction and blo...

The effect of temperature on fluorescence and emission anisotropy spectra of 4-cyano-N,Ndimethylaniline (CDMA) was investigated in viscous (glycerol and paraffin oil) and rigid (polyvinyl alcohol) PVA and polyvinyl chloride) PVC) media. A strong effect of temperature on the intensity of a and b emission bands was observed. It was also found that the emission anisotropy, r, does not vary in the ...

We study liquid-liquid dispersions in a turbulent Taylor–Couette flow, produced between two counterrotating coaxial cylinders. In pure Water and in counterrotation, Reynolds numbers up to 1.4× 10 are reached. The liquids we use are a low-viscous Oil and pure Water or a Sodium Iodide solution with a refractive index matched to that of Oil, in order to get transparent dispersions. We first charac...

We would like to report a case of unilateral oleothorax, which generated great diagnostic difficulties and was initially interpreted as a lung mass, probably of neoplastic origin. An 84-year-old woman presented with a dry cough that had persisted for four months. A chest X-ray showed a mass in the right hemithorax (Figure 1A). Due to the suspicion of lung cancer, the patient underwent CT, and t...

––The oily mud waste is one of the main wastes in oil field production process, which also stands as a critical negative factor that impedes the improvement of oilfield environment. The oily mud, which is rich in oil and black viscous compound in appearance, is the solid waste that comes along with the oilfield production. The oily mud mixture has huge amounts in magnitude, and it contains a ce...

Potassium tribromide wrapped around polyethylene glycol ({K+PEG400}Br3-) was easily prepared by two step reaction of PEG400 with KBr followed by the addition of molecular bromine to give PEG embedded potassium tribromide as a dark viscous oil. The synthesized material was found to be an efficient, cost effective, environmentally benign and recyclable catalyst for the library synthesis of nitrog...

Microencapsulating sunflower oil, lemon and orange oil flavour was investigated using complex coacervation of whey protein/gum arabic (WP/GA). At pH 3.0-4.5, WP and GA formed electrostatic complexes that could be successfully used for microencapsulation purposes. The formation of a smooth biopolymer shell around the oil droplets was achieved at a specific pH (close to 4.0) and the payload of oi...
