In engineering practice, we often encounter issues related to the connection of flows. which, in butt places, vortex zones are observed. The article considers problem fluid motion a channel with one inflow. scientific papers devoted flows studied. pressure and non-pressure movement channels, as well influence structural elements system on hydraulic parameters flow, considered. article, function...

How to effectively transfer and exert a pressure on drills in lateral drilling, and to raise the efficiency of rock-breaking and rate of penetration in a bid, is the key technology to improve the quality, speed and economic benefits of lateral drilling. Therefore, based on high pressure jet of 16-hole and 7-hole nozzles, which are suitable for lateral drilling in oilfield at the present stage, ...

Buckling analysis of thin cylindrical shells is very important due to their production process.  Usually longitudinal and transversal stiffeners are used to increase the buckling stiffness. In this paper, considering a thin cylindrical shell with longitudinal and transversal ribs subjected to axial force and lateral pressure, the influence of different aspect of axial force to lateral pressure ...

BACKGROUND The lowest contact pressure point is presumed to be the best site to harvest an osteochondral plug and minimize morbidity. HYPOTHESIS Patellofemoral contact pressures are not uniform and are lowest along the medial patellofemoral articulation. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Seven cadaveric knees were tested with an electroresistive, dynamic pressure sensor pl...

This research has been carried out to determine the marine propeller hydro-acoustic characteristics by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in both uniform and non-uniform wake flow at different operating conditions Wake flow can cause changes in pressure fluctuation and gas effect on propeller noise spectrum. Noise is generated by the induced trailing vortex wake and induced pressure ...

AIMS We studied the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on global and regional myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and myocardial blood flow (MBF) in non-ischaemic (NICM) and ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (ICM). METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-one NICM and 11 ICM patients, all of them acute responders, were investigated. MVO2 and MBF were obtained by 11C-acetate PET before and a...

Blood microvessels in the membraneous lateral wall of the cochlea were examined using intravital microscopic techniques. A video analysis system made serial diameter measurements at 1 micron intervals along the length of selected vessel segments during four experimental conditions. For each vessel segment, the serial measurements were statistically converted into a single diameter estimate, suc...

We discuss the stability of icosadeltahedral shells subjected to a uniform external load in the form of an isotropic pressure. We demonstrate that there exists a universal critical buckling pressure scaling form that defines a locus of buckling instabilities. The parameter that uniquely determines this scaling form is shown to be the Föppl-von Karman number of nonpressurized shells. Numerical r...

We report measurements of the pressure dependence of the low-temperature magnetization that show that the two pressure induced magnetic transitions in UGe2 are of first order. Further, the pressure dependence of the uniform susceptibility relative to the superconducting transition is not as expected if the latter is driven by the proximity to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point. Our data ins...

On the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. On the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort.  The determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. The maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...
