Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

Bioethanol is an alternative transport fuel produced mainly by the biochemical conversion of biomasses. This can be carried out efficiently and economically by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF): a process which integrates the enzymatic saccharification of the cellulose to glucose with the fermentative synthesis of ethanol. However, the SSF unit operation still contributes nea...

This paper studies two one-dimensional models to estimate the pressure drop in the normal human biliary system for Reynolds number up to 20. Excessive pressure drop during bile emptying and refilling may result in incomplete bile emptying, leading to stasis and subsequent formation of gallbladder stones. The models were developed following the group's previous work on the cystic duct using nume...

For a PEMFC to work better, adding baffles flow channel can improve reactant transfer. As result, the starts by developing 3-D numerical model for vanadium redox battery (VRFB) using COMSOL Multiphysic Simulation Software. By incorporating into serpentine channel, it is possible simulate changes in ion concentration and terminal voltage. The findings indicate that efficiency will be impacted ba...

Introduction Adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are growing in number with the improvement in corrective techniques. Atrial arrhythmias are a common complication in the long-term follow-up of CHD patients, with a negative impact on morbidity and mortality. Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is one of the most lifethreatening types of CHD, accounting for approxima...
