a newly developed heavy duty diesel engine in dual fuel mode of operation has been studied in detail. the main fuel would be natural gas and diesel oil as pilot injection. the importance and effects of mixture preparation and formation through ports, valves and in cylinder flow field with different swirl ratio and tumble on diesel combustion phenomena is an accepted feature which has been studi...

In the current study, twin wind blades are designed, fabricated and the effect of various gap ratio (g*) at various angle of attacks (α) on a next to each other twin wind blades are examined in an open-channel wind tunnel. Aerodynamic forces and moments are determined by using three-constraint force balancer. For gap ratio of zero, the aerodynamic attributes are like those of a solitary wind bl...

In this investigation, a mathematical model for studying oscillatory flow of blood in a stenosed artery under the influence of transverse magnetic field through porous medium has been developed. The equations of motion of blood flow are solved analytically. The analytical expressions for axial velocity, volumetric flow rate, pressure gradient, resistance to blood flow and shear stress have been...

the shape of a solar collector is an important factor in solar-to-thermal energy conversion. conical shape is one of the stationary and symmetric shapes that can be employed as a solar water heater. flow rate of working fluid on the solar collector has an important effect on the efficiency of the collector. the present study is an experimentally investigated of the performance of the solar coni...

an optimal design and fabrication of compressors requires flow investigation through the compressor components. flow field inside the volute is fully three dimensional and turbulent. better understanding of flow mechanism leads to improve the volute design procedure. in this research the experimental and numerical flow investigation through a radial flow compressor volute are performed to recog...

secondary flow investigation could be regarded as an important issue in open channel flow, in spite of its lower quantity compared to the base flow in the water course. it should be given special consideration because of the influence on some hydraulic factors in open channel, specifically in compound channels. in compound channels' due to the difference in the flow velocity of the main ch...

The phospholipid platelet-activating factor (PAF) stimulates platelet aggregation and coronary vasoconstriction. In this study we determined whether PAF alters coronary flow patterns in vivo in a canine preparation with concentric coronary artery stenosis. This preparation is characterized by cyclic flow variations in coronary blood flow associated with transient platelet aggregation at the sit...

This study tested the hypothesis that in the chronically hypertrophied left ventricle pacing stress may cause abnormalities of perfusion that result in myocardial ischemia. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was produced by banding the ascending aorta of 10 dogs at 6 weeks of age, and studies were carried out after the animals had reached adulthood and when mean left ventricular/body weight rat...
