parallel hypodermic-tubing probes extending from a small sensor body (Fig. 1). Hereafter, probe will be used Dual-probe heat-capacity (DPHC) sensors can be used to measure to describe the hypodermic tubing components while soil heat capacity (C ), water content, and temperature. Research sensor will refer to the entire assembly. One probe conwas conducted to test design factors that affect sens...

This paper presents an experimental study on a single tank thermal energy storage (TES) system integrated with cooking unit. The had capacity of 45 L oil. chamber was embedded in the tank, thereby eliminating use pumps and connecting pipes between unit designed to make good physical contact, circumferential basally, pot, improve rate heat transfer. Experimental tests were performed oil only oil...

This paper addresses the problem of fault isolation in processes which are working in different operating points. Due to nonlinearities and set-point changes, the statistical model which is obtained from data is different from one operating point to another. Therefore the classical multivariate statistical process monitoring approaches may not be suitable for monitoring and diagnosis purposes. ...

the goal of this study was to compare the effect of heater probe thermocoagulation for massive bleeding of peptic ulcers with a control group. between march 1992 and august 1995 we used heater probe thermocoagulation endoscopically to treat 42 patients with active ugl bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels at the base of ulcer craters within 2-3 hours of admission. we also selected 42 patients...

This study selects titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as far-infrared materials (FIRMs), further adds water-based acrylic coatings to prepare (FIRCs). FIRCs are uniformly coated on #304 stainless steel sheets make the test samples, which then installed between shell insulation material of hot water heater measure influences various performance heater. The researc...

Burkholderia pseudomallei was isolated from environmental specimens 1 year after an outbreak of acute melioidosis in a remote coastal community in northwestern Australia. B. pseudomallei was isolated from a water storage tank and from spray formed in a pH-raising aerator unit. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed the aerator and storage tank isolates were identical to the outbreak strain,...

in this study, boundary element method was used to model sea wave propagation on a hemisphere shape under water tank and oil-water common surface oscillation in the tank. also, kinematic and dynamic oundary conditions of free surface and common surface of oil and water were discritized by finite difference method. there were some singularities in bem method, which were removed by applying zonin...
