Since NOx family, one of the most important causes of air pollution, is the primary source of acid rains, ozone layer depletion, and breathing disorders, mitigation of these pollutants is now a global concern. In the off-gases of internal combustion engines running with oxygen excess, non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) have an oxidative potential, which results in an effective conversion...

A three-dimensional model of an enclosed air-conditioned space was established. Numerical simulation conducted for the temperature distribution in with air conditioner turned on using computational fluid dynamics, and movement track aerosol droplets exhaled by a patient traced discrete phase based Eulerian–Lagrangian method. The analysis shows that, after is on, velocity outflowing from greatly...

a periodic increase in blood pressure (bp) occurs during apneic episodes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (osa). several factors including hypoxemia and an increase in heart rate (hr) were reported to be responsible for this increased bp. to examine the contribution of these two factors in increasing bp, 35 healthy male subjects (mean age±sd= 23.64±3.80) were studied in three experiment...

air conditioning is widely applied for the improvement of standard of living in human life. this present investigation focused on the prediction of indoor air quality characteristics of air conditioned car using fuzzy logic algorithm. the conditioned space was selected and the experiments were planned as per design of experiments to study the effect of human load, fresh air supply and air veloc...
