The internal flow in corrugated tubes of different helical pitch, covering from the laminar to turbulent regime, was studied order characterize three-dimensional and influence corrugation geometry on pressure drop convective heat transfer. With water as working fluid an imposed wall flux, ranging around 4 33 kW/m2, a numerical model developed with CFD commercial software, where k?? SST used tur...

Electron microscopy (EM), combined with image processing, has become an increasingly powerful tool for structural biology. Advances in cryopreservation and imaging, along with increasingly sophisticated computational tools for image processing, allow three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of macromolecules or macromolecular assemblies trapped in native states (1, 2). Structures from non...

Radial forging is an open die forging process used for reducing the diameters of shafts, tubes, stepped shafts and axles and also for creating internal profiles such as rifling the gun barrels. The radial forging of tube is usually performed over a mandrel to create an internal profile and/or size the internal diameter. Most of the previous studies conducted on the radial forging process have u...

The data on which Medhurst's semi-empirical self-capacitance formula is based are re-analysed in a way that takes the permittivity of the coil-former into account. The updated formula is compared with theories attributing self-capacitance to the capacitance between adjacent turns, and also with transmission-line theories. The inter-turn capacitance approach is found to have no predictive power....
