The aim of this work theoretical study is to theoretically investigate a inorganic membrane assisted purifcation process of an H2-rich stream derived from a conventional methanol steam reforming stage. In particular, a black-box model for multicomponent gas mixture purifcation is dev...

in this paper, first a sensitivity analysis of parameters affecting the performance of the steam generator is performed. this process includes the pinch temperature difference and the gas velocity (width of the hrsg) as the operating parameter and geometrical parameters (fin’s thickness, fin’s height, number of fins in each inch, tube transverse pitch) for each pressure parts is carried out, an...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Patients are at risk of developing pressure injuries in the peri-operative setting. Studies evaluating the impact of educational interventions on peri-operative nurses' knowledge and reported practice are scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multifaceted intervention on peri-operative nurses' (a) knowledge of pressure injury risks, risk asse...

For more 20 years, noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitors have been widely used in operating rooms and critical care units to closely monitor blood pressure in patients of all ages. Despite the widespread use of automated blood pressure monitors, clinicians continue to deliberate over the accuracy and reliability of automated NIBP devices compared to other methods of blood pressure determin...

During a fuel injection cycle pressure inside Combination Electronic Unit Pump (CEUP) fuel injection system varies from low (~50 bars) to very high (~1500 bars) in fractions of seconds depending on the operating conditions. Physical properties of fuel including density, acoustic wave speed and bulk modulus also vary as a function of rapidly varying fuel pressure. A detailed analysis of these ke...

Very fine (d < 10/~m) metal and alloy powders can be produced efficiently by a high pressure gas atomization (HPGA) technique. Rapid solidification processing, metal injection molding, thermal spraying and other emerging powder-processing approaches benefit from the use of such fine powders. This paper reports on the results of an investigation of gas atomization process dynamics with emphasis ...

many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (mimo) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. the major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. conventional controller p...

investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (lhr) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].the engine had different operating conditions...

Microdischarge ~MD! devices are plasma sources typically operating at 100s Torr to atmospheric pressure with dimensions of 10s–100s mm. Their design in based on pd (pressure3characteristic dimension! scaling; smaller dimensions are enabled by higher operating pressures with typical devices operating with pd51 – 10 Torr cm. MD devices have exhibited behavior that resemble both Townsend and hollo...
