The effects of sudden cooling of the spinal cord were studied in three species of amphibians--a cold-sensitive tropical toad (Bufo marinus), a cold-resistant, aquatic, hibernating frog (Rana pipiens, northern leopard frog) and a freeze-tolerant frog (Rana sylvatica, wood frog). Ventral root (motoneuron) potentials were recorded from isolated, hemisected spinal cords of each species mounted in a...

In this study, a reputable Kalina cycle system, KCS 11, is simulated and analysed. Within this efficient cycle, there are three heat exchangers: the first heat exchanger is designated for heat absorption from the heat source, the second heat exchanger is designed for heat release to the cold source, and the third heat exchanger is designed for energy recovery. In order to achieve precise si...

The aim of the present research is to simulate the heat treatment process of the autogenous grinding (AG) shell liner of Cr-Mo steel in different quenching media (still air, air blowing, oil and water) using ABAQUS software, in order to calculate the cooling curves. In this regard, the microstructure and hardness for each arbitrary point within the mill liner's bulk could be predicted based on ...

temperature restrictions on aqueous effluents dictate that streams with a temperature higher than the permitted level needed to pass through cooling systems to reduce the effluent temperature before discharge. in this study, by considering the grouping design rules based on pinch technology, an optimum design for a distributed effluent cooling system, has been developed. a counter-flow wet cool...

In the current study, coupling of a cooling problem with electromagnetic resonance bulk acoustic wave (BAW) material is investigated. As well, new method by addition nanoparticles to phase change surrounding BAW resonator presented. To solve governing equations piezoelectric charge and momentum balance, thermal fluid flow code finite element introduced. After validation various features melting...
