Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the cleanest fossil fuel available, producing less carbon emissions and fewer pollutants than other fuels. Marine transportation a key process in LNG supply chain. The use of tank containers, which are portable equipment, can effectively facilitate multi-mode transportation. evaporation causes pressurization, safety concern during Ship motion environmental tempera...

A new system of femoral cement pressurization is presented that attempts to produce sustained and elevated cement pressure. Five paired cadaver femora were pressurized with Simplex cement, and PFC femoral components were inserted. One of each pair was pressurized with the new system, and 1 was pressurized with an existing device. Pressure was recorded at the proximal and distal levels. After cu...

INTRODUCTION A paper presented a case of esophageal achalasia with both type 2 and type 3 achalasia found in the same patient. CASE OUTLINE High resolution impedance manometry of esophagus was performed. Liquid swallows induced panesophageal pressurization (achalasia type 2), whereas viscous swallows led to compartmentalized pressurization--distal two thirds of esophagus (achalasia type 3). N...

Below-grade stormwater storage tunnels are designed to provide relief for collection networks during intense rain events. Air must be evacuated as the tunnel fills and, depending on the system geometry, the air may become pressurized. This research presents an investigation on various ways that the air pressurization influences the water flow. The investigation used an experimental apparatus co...

Viscous heating becomes significant in the high speed resin coating process of glass fibers for optical fiber manufacturing. This study focuses on the coating resin flows inside the capillary coating die of optical fiber coating applicator and they are numerically simulated to examine the effects of viscous heating and subsequent temperature increase in coating resin. Resin flows are driven by ...

The exposure conditions which produce hind limb paralysis in 10%, 50%, and 90% of mouse neonate specimens exposed to 1-MHz ultrasound at 10 ø C and at 1and 16-atm hydrostatic pressure were determined for the intensity range 86-289 W/cm 2. The change in the exposure duration for 50% of the specimens paralyzed resulting from pressurization to 16 atm was negligible at 86 and 144 W/em 2 but was alm...

We use 2000–2012 InSAR data frommultiple satellites to investigate magma storage in Kīlauea’s east rift zone (ERZ). The study period includes a surge in magma supply rate and intrusion-eruptions in 2007 and 2011. The Kupaianaha area inflated by ~5 cm prior to the 2007 intrusion and the Nāpau Crater area by ~10 cm following the 2011 intrusion. For the Nāpau Crater area, elastic modeling suggests...

In this study, a whole-cell 3D multiphase non-isothermal model is developed for hydrogen alkaline anion exchange membrane (AAEM) fuel cell, and the interfacial effect on the two-phase transport in porous electrode is also considered in the model. The results show that the insertion of anode MPL, slight anode pressurization and reduction of membrane thickness generally improve the cell performan...
