In single stage valves, the main spools are stroked directly by solenoid actuators. They are cheaper and more reliable than multistage valves. Their use, however, is restricted to low bandwidth and low flow rate applications due to the limitation of the solenoid actuators. Our research focuses on alleviating the need for large solenoids in single stage valves by advantageously using fluid flow ...

This investigation deals with multi server queue with balking. The customers arrive in poisson fashion and independent of time, under the assumption that system is initially empty. The number of customers in the system is stochastically increasing and distributed in steady state (stationary state) as required. The expressions for the measure of the speed of convergence from transient state to s...

in this study we consider pcf (plane couette flow) which is introduced by two parallel planes which have same velocity in opposite direction and the distance between them is filled by viscoelastic fluid. by this way we have modeled viscoelastic damper. the constitutive equation of js (johnson-segalman) has been used for dynamic analysis of viscoelastic damper’s behavior. by using this equation ...

In this paper, exact solutions of velocity and stresses are obtained for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid in a porous half space by the Laplace transform method. The flows are caused by the cosine and sine oscillations of a plate. The derived steady and transient solutions satisfy the involved differential equations and the given conditions. Graphs for steady-state and tran...

The experimental investigation of material flow in rotary drums is studied. An equipment in the size of pilot-scale was used to collect experimental data for investigation of validity of the conventional steady-state model of material flow in rotary drums. Also, the transient data of the time required for material movement in the empty drum up to any specified cross section are also reported. T...

This paper investigates the convection flow between the two parallel plates in a fluid cell subject to the transient thermal field. We use the modal approximations similar to that of the original Lorenz model to obtain a generalized Lorenz-type model for the flow induced by the transient thermal field at the bottom plate. This study examines the convection flow bifurcation conditions in relatio...

The one dimension computational model of a sequential injection engine, which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) with spark ignition, is developed for this study, to simulate the performance of gas flow pressure profile, under various speed conditions. The computational model is used to simulate and study of the steady state and transient processes of the intake manifold. The sequential injec...

Steady and transient mass transport phenomena within an inverted, stagnation-flow, cold-wall CVD reactor were investigated by observing the concentration of a tracer species (CH4) with in situ Raman spectroscopy. The transient studies revealed that the use of matched reactor inlet velocities is crucial to minimize recirculating flow patterns and that the magnitude of the gas velocity is also im...
