Heat and mass transfer, in this paper, is considered in one-row heat exchanger, that fins are hotter than air flow and water is added to fins. Related governing equations are derived by analyzing a two-dimension model in a unique cell of a heat exchange. These equations are numerically solved by finite difference method. Heat transfer and efficiency under partially wet surface are calculated by...

UNLABELLED COPD is a preventable and treatable disease caused by exposure to tobacco smoke and poisonous gases. It is characterised by progressive obstruction of the airflow, irreversible once lesions occur in the parenchyma. This article aims to systematically review the disease and its treatment. DISCUSSION Smoking is the main cause of COPD and leads to decreased oxygenation via lung hyperi...

A fundamental study was carried out on the high-temperature zone flow resistance during iron ore sintering. In present work, firstly, quartz sand was used to replace iron ores to investigate the impact of temperature if bed structure has no change; then a three-layer bed structure was used to explore the primary factors controlling high-temperature zone structure for airflow. The zone where tem...

in our present research, we focus on the modeling of airflow related to natural disasters, such assand accumulation, with urban form studies. the objective is to find which urban form can promote sand passing andreduce as much as possible stagnation of sand in the building area (streets, alleys, etc.). the urban form design will bediscussed through the simulation of airflow by using computation...

This review focuses on the major cellular and structural changes present in the airways and lung parenchyma in asthma in comparison with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in an attempt to underline the possible mechanisms contributing to airflow limitation in these two diseases. Both asthma and COPD are characterized by a thickening of the airway wall and by the presence of an inflam...

The numerical simulation and two kinds of experiments are conducted to investigate the thermal performance of several kinds of heat spreaders for high power memory module. For numerical study, commercial code, Flotherm, is used to model the 1GByte DDR memory module array. The convection heat transfer is analyzed for the memory module array with solid heat spreader under the airflow condition. F...

Background and objective: Causes for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) are many but septum deviation is the most prevalent etiology. A deviated affects airflow dynamics in human cavity, which turn physiological functions of cavity like heating, humidification, filtration capabilities. The present study investigates compares patterns a healthy to septal cavity. Methods: Two models considered compar...

Changes in laryngeal resistance to airflow have been measured in rabbits during spontaneous breathing, while larynx was isolated "in situ". Intravenous injections of serotonin resulted in variable apnoea followed by rapid, shallow breathing, coupled with increases in laryngeal inspiratory and expiratory resistances. These laryngeal responses persisted after cutting vagi in the chest. The "centr...
