In this paper it is attempted to investigate the behavior of an inviscid flow in the meridional plane of an axial flow compressor. For this purpose the 3-D unsteady Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate are averaged in tangential direction. Therefore, the equations are reduced to a 2-D system. By averaging the tangential component of momentum equation, a blade force will result. Axial and r...

The production of a modern biotechnology product, frequently a recombinant protein, requires a multistage downstream process because the feedstock is usually a liquid that is dilute in product concentration and contains many impurities some of which are unknown chemical compounds. Such a process typically centers on two or more liquid chromatography steps in order to achieve the desired purity....

Visual motion, such as radial optic flow, is an important cue for perceiving direction during ego-motion. Several previous studies have reported that the perceived speed of a radial optic flow is underestimated when the represented ego-motion direction between radial optic flow and non-visual (such as vestibular or/and proprioceptive) information is congruent. In the present study, we examined ...

hydraulic simulation of water flow in irrigation canals may reveal management shortcomings and help managers find solutions to them. hydraulic simulation models can be appropriate tools for understanding hydraulic behavior of irrigation systems. in the present study, the steady state hec-ras model was tested and compared with the mike 11 unsteady state model. a secondary irrigation canal in the...

the non-uniformity factor is used for correction of the formulas obtained from the one-dimentional fluid flow method in a centrifugal impeller pump. the variations of radial velocity at the outlet of five centrifugal impellers with the specific speed of about ns =50 are calculated at design point by using two-dimentional potentional flow method for an invisid fluid. on the other hand~ the varia...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to assess blood flow in the upper limb arteries after prolonged catheterization with long radial artery catheters (LRC) which reach the subclavian artery compared to catheterization with standard short radial artery catheters (SRC) and a group of upper limb flow without any catheter placement (NOCATH), with both SRC and NOCATH as control groups. METHODS...

abstract in this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (rbf-ann) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of api x65 pipeline steel. the results of the developed model was compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of zener-hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial functio...
