The aim of our study is to analyze the impact of insertion holes in the middle of obstacles on the flow around a surface-mounted cube, In order to do this; we studied four configurations of obstacles in a channel with a Reynods number based on obstacle height ReH = 40000. The hexahedral structured meshes were used to solve the fluid dynamics equations .The finite volume method are employed to s...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of fuel injection discharge curve and injection pressure simultaneously for upgrading power of heavy duty diesel engine by simulation of combustion process in AVL-Fire software are discussed. Hence, the fuel injection discharge curve was changed from semi-triangular to rectangular which is usual in common rail fuel injection system. Injection pressure with r...

rectangular waveguide (wr) is one of the earliest types of transmission lines. rectangular waveguide can be produced by hot extrusion process. in this paper, the hot extrusion process of cuzn5 rectangular waveguide was investigated by finite element method (fem). in addition, genetic algorithm method (ga) was used to optimize the die geometry and process conditions to achieve the lowest magnitu...

A preform sleeving technique is demonstrated that allows the fabrication of single-mode polymer microstructured fiber with the smallest core and hole dimensions yet reported to our knowledge. For a fixed triangular hole pattern a range of fibers is produced by adjustment to the operating conditions of the draw tower. Numerical modeling is carried out for one of the fibers produced with a 570-mi...

The use of blasting cost (BC) prediction to achieve optimal fragmentation is necessary in order to control the adverse consequences of blasting such as fly rock, ground vibration, and air blast in open-pit mines. In this research work, BC is predicted through collecting 146 blasting data from six limestone mines in Iran using the artificial neural networks (ANNs), gene expression programming (G...

in this study, behavior of pin-loaded glass fiber reinforced with polyethylene laminated composites with different stacking sequence and different dimensions has been observed experimentally and stress analysis was performed using ansys software. the aim is to investigate stresses, failure strength and failure mode of composite laminates containing a pin loaded hole when the material exhibits l...

PURPOSE To evaluate the functional outcome and macular index in patients with macular hole who underwent surgery with internal limiting membrane removal. METHODS Fifteen eyes of 15 patients with idiopathic macular hole stages 2, 3 or 4 were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent conventional macular hole surgery with trypan blue staining to remove the internal limiting membrane. The b...

Two parts, each with two holes, are to be pinned together by some type of fastener. Nominally the holes on part 1 are to match the holes on part 2 and the fastener diameters should be smaller than the hole diameters. Due to variation in hole diameters, fastener diameters and hole center positions loose pinning of the two parts may no longer be possible. The problem considered here is to define ...

BACKGROUND/AIM In 1991 there was a series of successful closures of a macular hole after vitrectomy and membrane peeling. Today this technique has become a standard procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of optical coherence tomography in diagnosing and staging, as well as in predicting, the functional and anatomical outcome after macular hole surgery. METHOD In a prospecti...
