Elastocaloric cooling is considered an environmentally friendly future alternative to vapor-compression technology. Recently, a shell-and-tube-like elastocaloric regenerator loaded in compression has demonstrated record-breaking heat-pumping performance and fatigue-resistant operation. The aim of this work thus present new 1D numerical model simulate optimize the operation with design. In first...

the basic strategy of reduce the ductility demand and related concentrated tensions at moment resistance connections is reduce the section of the beam at connected region to column. by this method plastic hinge done at the reduced cross section and this local reduction decreases the demand of the components of connection. on this basis, in present study a new beam-to-column moment connection wi...

The stress configuration and tectonic analysis of the Pan – African orogeny is drawn from the Igarra schist belt, southwestern Nigeria. The analysis of conjugate shear fractures of the schist belt indicates that two distinct compressive events (NE – SW and E – W) occurred in this Pan – African mobile zone. The palaeostress systems reveal a clockwise rotation of compressional axis from D1 (NE – ...

The vortex tube is an intriguing device that separates an incoming high-pressure fluid stream into a two low-pressure streams. Work interaction during the expansion process causes a temperature decrease in one of the two exit streams, while the other one experiences a temperature increase. The overall expansion process in a vortex tube therefore approaches isentropic rather than isenthalpic exp...

For acute respiratory distress or arrest, endotracheal intubation is a life-saving procedure in emergency airway management. There are many possible complications that may present with manipulation of the airway. This case will discuss factors that one may consider when adequate oxygenation or ventilation is not achieved after an endotracheal tube (ETT) is placed. Issues that can lead to diffic...
