The objective of this study was to analyze the fluid flow molten steel in a continuous casting tundish using numerical simulations for better inclusion floatation and its separation. geometry designed Autodesk FUSION 360 analysis were performed on ANSYS FLUENT. investigations done steady-state as well transient conditions. To scale back vortexing turbulence within tundish, turbo stoppers modula...

Silicon carbide (SiC) possesses a unique combination of properties such as high mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, wear resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, temperature oxidation corrosion stability, radiation hardness, chemical inertness, and conductivity. Unfortunately, SiC is very brittle cannot, therefore, be used “as is”. SiC’s crack due to the prevention propagation, ...

We have been accustomed to estimate the lactate in blood by hemolysis in water, removal of the proteins by the method of Folin and Wu (4), treatment of the filtrate with CuSO4 and Ca(OH)2 according to Van Slyke (ll), and estimation of the lactate in the centrifugate by a modification of the aeration method of Friedemann, Cotonio, and Shaffer (6). There have been suggestions that some of the pre...

Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes have potential as components of molecular machinery. Rotaxanes consist of a dumb-bell-shaped molecule encircled by a macrocycle that can move unhindered along the axle, trapped by bulky stoppers. Previously, rotaxanes have been made from a variety of molecules, but not from DNA. Here, we report the design, assembly and character...

With a large percentage of total system cost going to system administration tasks, ease of system management remains a difficult and important goal. As a step towards that goal, this dissertation presents a success story on building systems that are self-predicting. Self-predicting systems continuously monitor themselves and provide quantitative answers to What...if questions about hypothetical...

Despite several studies reporting Penicillium as one of the most frequent fungal genera in cork planks, the isolates were rarely identified to species level. We conducted a detailed study to identify Penicillium species from the field to the factory environment prior to and after boiling the cork planks. A total of 84 samples were analyzed. Of the 486 Penicillium isolates phenotypically identif...

The destructive power of typhoons has been continuously increasing due to the influence global warming. In a situation where installation floating wind turbines is around world, concerns about huge losses and collapses offshore strong are deepening. Regarding safe operation turbines, development new type disconnectable mooring system required. newly developed apparatuses, such as fairlead chain...
