Atomization and combustion characteristics of DME diesel engines is considerably affected by nozzle fuel flow injectors. The FLUENT was employed to numerically estimate engine nozzle. influence different inlet pressure, fillet condition on the pressure distribution average jet velocity were studied. results indicate that minimum value transition zone proportional natural logarithm fillet; parab...

Hearing loss affects millions of people worldwide and often results from the death of the sensory hair cells in the inner ear, and exposure to intense noise is one of the leading causes of hair cell damage. Recently, the zebrafish lateral line system has emerged as a powerful in vivo model for real-time studies of hair cell damage and protection. In this research, we designed a microfluidic dev...

The discharge rate of coarse powders (mean particle size >500 pm) from bunkers without aeration can be described by both empirical relations and theoretical models. In the case of small particles the discharge rate is largely overestimated. As the powder dilates during flow a negative pressure gradient develops near the hopper outlet, inducing an air flow into the hopper. This extra drag force ...

In this paper, we present the design, fabrication and characterization of a novel gas microvalve realized by combining microand fine-machining techniques. The design is for high flow rates at high pressure difference between inlet and outlet, burst pressure of up to 15 bars. There is no power consumption required for the valve to maintain its position during operation in any intermediate state ...

BACKGROUND Significant increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) may occur during neuroendoscopic procedures. To detect and prevent serious and sustained increases, ICP should be monitored. At present, controversy exists on the optimal location of the monitoring sensor. Therefore, we conducted an in vitro study to estimate the pressure gradients between the ventricle, the 'gold standard' site, a...

• The actual flow rate is constant for the outlet pressure range of 35.30 psig to as low as a complete vacuum. The flow rate can be obtained from the charts on pages 16-18; e.g. for an orifice of .010" diameter and with 80 psig inlet pressure, the choked flow rate is 8.4 scfh (page 16). This flow rate will be constant for all outlet pressure conditions between 35.30 psig and full vacuum. 0 1 .5...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is typically a disease of men aged 40 years, and above. By the age of 50 years, approximately 20% of men are affected, while by the age of 75 years, approximately 75% of men are affected. Given this incidence, and the aging population, BPH has become a major health care issue. The pathology of BPH is induced by a hyperplastic prostate occluding the bladder out...

This paper tends to investigate the performance of a separator cyclone used in cement industries in Iran. This investigation was performed using CFD modeling, which is validated by other valid studies. Separator cyclone performance includes of two important parameters as pressure drop and collection ratio. In this presented study, the pressure drop has been considered to assess the performance ...

Using bottom outlets for drain and regulation of water level in reservior has significant importance in performance mahagment of dam. Amount of service and emergency gates opening have important role in pressure, velocity and discharge coefficient variations and finally dam performance. In the present research, flow aeration between emergency and service gates was studied with different hydraul...

Carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. Depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. The miscibility condition is determine...
