We have presented a method to prepare a uniform anodic nanoporous oxide film on the surface of a cylindrical zircaloy (Zr) tube. The distribution of the electric field around the Zr tube determines the distribution of the thickness of the anodic nanoporous oxide film. The electric field generated when a cylindrical Zr tube is electrochemically anodized was simulated by using commercial code COM...

Key points † Optimizing tracheal sealing is of clinical interest: fluid leakage past the tube cuff plays an important role in the pathogenesis of VAP. † Tapered shaped tube cuff offering a sealing zone with reduced folds and channels is a new strategy to minimize fluid leakage past the tracheal tube cuff. † Tracheal tube cuffs made from PVC show much more and faster fluid leakage than cuffs mad...

This paper reports the thermal performance of a new cylindrical solar collector based on an experimental investigation with this difference that instead of the collector tube with absorbent coating, coil into a spiral copper tube is placed in the center of the collector. The spiral shape of the tube, heat transfer without disruption or increase the heat transfer area, is increasing. In this cas...

An articulatory model of speech production is usually constructed by approximating the profile of the vocal tract using cylindrical tube sections. This is implemented by a digital ladder filter that is called the Kelly–Lochbaum model. In this paper we propose an extended approach, where the tube sections approximating the profile of the tract are conical instead of cylindrical. Furthermore, the...

A numerical model of axisymmetric convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic flux bundle and rotation about the axis is presented. The model contains a compressible plasma described by the nonlinear MHD equations, with density and temperature gradients simulating the upper layer of the sun’s convection zone. The solutions exhibit a central magnetic flux tube in a cylindrical numerical do...

We studied the structural changes of bilayer vesicles induced by mechanical forces using a Brownian dynamics simulation. Two nanoparticles, which interact repulsively with amphiphilic molecules, are put inside a vesicle. The position of one nanoparticle is fixed, and the other is moved by a constant force as in optical-trapping experiments. First, the pulled vesicle stretches into a pear or tub...

under investigation. The early models to solve Navier-Stokes equation for a laminar flow in porous tube were proposed in Berman [1] and Yuan [2] and extended by Bernales [3]. Berman [1] presented a solution to the two-dimensional model in laminar flow in channels with uniform wall suction. This study was extended to cylindrical coordinates to investigate suction as well as injection in flow alo...

tube hydroforming (thf) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. in this paper, t- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

Diffusion in a comb-like structure, formed by a main cylindrical tube with identical periodic dead ends of cylindrical shape, occurs slower than that in the same system without dead ends. The reason is that the particle, entering a dead end, interrupts its propagation along the tube axis. The slowdown becomes stronger and stronger as the dead end length increases, since the particle spends more...
