The gas phase dynamics of an inverted, stagnation point flow CVD reactor were studied by both experiment and modeling. The axial centerline temperature profile in the reactor was measured by analysis of the rotational Raman spectra from the carrier gas (N or H ) as a function of the inlet flow velocity and the reactor aspect ratio. It was found that a larger temperature gradient 2 2 normal to t...

An apparatus designed for repetitive sampling and characterization of evolved gas mixtures generated during thermal analysis is described. The apparatus combines fast temperature ramp gas chromatography separations with mass spectrometric detection to selectively monitor volatile mixture component concentration changes as a function of sample temperature. The apparatus was tested by using it to...

This paper illustrates the mechanism of U-shaped vortex formation which is found both by experiment and DNS. The main goal of this paper is to explain how the U-shaped vortex is formed and further develops. According to the results obtained by our direct numerical simulation with high order accuracy, the U-shaped vortex is part of the coherent vortex structure and is actually the tertiary strea...

The removal of CO2 through chemical absorption in a bench-scale spray dryer absorber was investigated experimentally using the lime slurry as absorbent. The effect of important operating parameters on CO2 removal efficiency has been investigated; in selected ranges of operating parameters, increasing gas inlet temperature and absorbent concentration lead to permanent efficiency decline, increas...

We report a biolistic technology platform for physical delivery of particle formulations of drugs or vaccines using parallel arrays of microchannels, which generate highly collimated jets of particles with high spatial resolution. Our approach allows for effective delivery of therapeutics sequentially or concurrently (in mixture) at a specified target location or treatment area. We show this ne...

In this study a heat exchanger is designed for cooling exhaust gas and an experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) temperature on destruction of the fuel’s availability due to combustion processes in IDI diesel engine cylinder. To serve this aim an exergy analysis is conducted on the engine cylinder which provides all the availability terms by which...

In electric vehicles, the battery pack is one of the most important components that strongly influence the system performance. The battery thermal management system (BTMS) is critical to remove the heat generated by the battery pack, which guarantees the appropriate working temperature for the battery pack. Air cooling is one of the most commonly-used solutions among various battery thermal man...

Gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. The main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. However, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. The method...
