the third order term in the density functional is required for study of an inhomogeneous fluid. this term can be chosen such that, the thermodynamic potential gives the correct bulk pressure. the density porofile of a hard sphere fluid near hard wall which is an inhomogeneous fluid is obtained and it is shown that, if the third order term is ignored, although an exact bulk direct correlation fu...

precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such asimproved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time ofthe gear. an important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the processsuccessfully and design the forging tools. in this research, a new kinematically admissibl...

A unique normalized radial pressure profile characterizes the bed of a gas-solid vortex reactor over a range of particle densities and sizes, solid capacities, and gas flow rates: 950-1240 kg/m3, 1-2 mm, 2 kg to maximum solids capacity, and 0.4-0.8 Nm3/s (corresponding to gas injection velocities of 55-110 m/s), respectively. The combined momentum conservation equations of both gas and solid ph...

The choice of geometrical shape of the blades has a considerable effect on aerodynamic performance and flow characteristics in axial compressors. In this paper, the effects of the blades shape on the aerodynamic design characteristics are investigated based on Streamline Curvature Method (SCM). Initially, the Streamline Curvature Method (SCM) is used for designing a two-stage axial compressor. ...

Carbon dioxide urethral pressure profiles were obtained in a group of continent and incontinent male patients. Cystometry, needle electromyography of the striated urinary sphincter, and cystourethroscopy were also performed in most patients. A characteristic reproducible urethral pressure profile can be obtained in the continent, obstructed, and incontinent groups. The results also showed that ...

From detailed optimization of configuration, volume averaged beta < β >∼ 5% has been achieved in the Large Helical Device(LHD). While the heating efficiency was the main point to be optimized in this approach, to form a more peaked pressure profile is another promising approach towards the high beta regime. A higher electron density profile with a steeper pressure gradient has been formed by pe...

Simultaneous effects of slip and heat transfer on peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid  in an  asymmetric channel is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynold number .The  asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase.Exect solutions for stream function,velocity ...

An axisymmetric jet issued from a sharp edged circular convergent nozzle has been studied experimentally in the near field at Reynolds number 5.3x104  to search the saddle shape behavior of mean velocity and the role of mean static pressure in the jet flow. Due to the vena contracta effect the centerline mean velocity of the jet increases about 4.2% of its exit value and corresponding decrease ...
