Background: This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy of EclipseTM treatment planning system (TPS) in a heterogeneous chest phantom with the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique using EBT3 film and Delta4. Materials and Methods: Two IMRT plans (A and B) were prepared for radiotherapy of the heterogeneous chest phantom. Plan A was between the left lung and the surro...

A mathematical model which can be predicted the flow and heat transfer characteristics for evaporating thin film region in micro channel is presented and an analytical investigation is performed by using the presented model. For the formulation of modeling, the flow of the vapor phase and the shear stress at the liquid-vapor interface are considered. In addition, the disjoining pressure and the...

Objective(s): Application of eco-friendly materials like poly lactic acid (PLA) is increasing, to reduce environmental pollutions. In this research, the effect of silicon dioxide 1%, 3% and 5% nanoparticles on morphological, mechanical and chemicals interaction (FTIR) of PLA film was studied. Materials and Methods: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used, ...

Squeeze film dampers are widely used in aircraft engines, land-based gas turbines, and other rotating machines to improve system damping. They often have entrained air within the oil film, which is usually not taken into account in rotordynamics analysis due to lack of good formulations of the effects involved. The effects on the damping force calculation can be significant. This work presents ...

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has recently been in the spotlight due to its numerous applications including its being an ideal substrate for two-dimensional electronics, a tunneling material for vertical tunneling devices, and a growth template for heterostructures. However, to obtain a large area of h-BN film while maintaining uniform thickness is still challenging and has not been realized. ...

Thick and very stable aqueous films between oil phases are obtained in systems where surfactant diffuses across the interfaces, towards the film. An osmotic pressure difference exists between the film interior and the surrounding aqueous meniscus. This is due to surfactant aggregates (micelles); it pushes the film surfaces apart, giving rise to intensive liquid circulation and exchange of mass ...

A comprehensive method of theoretical analysis for finite Squeeze Film Damper using finite element method is presented. The modified Reynolds equation in the film is solved using the finite element discretization. A Galerkin variational method is applied for solving modified Reynolds equation to determine the pressures as well as load carrying capacities. The pressure distribution and load carr...

Current methodologies used for the inference of thin film stress through curvature measurement are strictly restricted to stress and curvature states that are assumed to remain uniform over the entire film/substrate system. These methodologies have recently been extended to a single layer of thin film deposited on a substrate subjected to the non-uniform misfit strain in the thin film. Such met...
