In this study, the effect of design parameters such as pipe diameter, wall thickness, material and fluid velocity on natural frequency fluid-structure interaction in straight conveying fully developed turbulent flow were investigate numerically,analytically experimentally. Also support conditions, simply-simply clamped-clamped was investigated. Experimentally, vibrations characterized by accele...

Despite all the technical and economic problems and the public discussions on the environmental dangers and hazards of chlorine chemistry, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is the second most produced plastic (with a worldwide capacity of about 31 million tons), placing after polyolefins and before styrene polymers. Presently, PVC production worldwide is growing at a rate of more than 4% per year. The...

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used chemical for production of plastics. However occupational asthma (OA) caused by PVC has been reported only rarely. We report a 34-yr-old male wallpaper factory worker with OA due to PVC and nickel (Ni) whose job was mixing PVC with plasticizers. He visited the emergency room due to an asthma attack with moderate airflow obstruction and markedly increase...

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is made by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer and is a plastic that softens on heating. The addition of a small amount (<5%) of plasticizer produces a hard PVC, whereas the addition of 30 to 50% plasticizer results in a soft PVC. Soft PVC is used to make several products, including chemical shoes, cables, gloves, hoses, and film. The principal component of PVC hose is ...

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/organic-montmorillonite composites were prepared by melt intercalation. Their structures and properties were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical testing. The results showed that PVC chains could be intercalated into the gallery of organically modified montmorillonite to form exfoliated PVC/organic-montmorillo...

The primary goal of this paper is to evaluate an innovative Z-Blade turbine technology and its potential implications for production costs manufacturing techniques. From literatures, conventional pico-hydro technologies with a capability less than 5kW are getting more attention as good alternatives environmentally friendly power generation, but there expensive complex small generation domestic ...

Microsized aerogels were prepared from epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix blend using the solvent exchange method and dropping technique with sonication. Some parameters were manipulated in order to observe its effects on resultant aerogels. Parameter studied were ENR/PVC solution viscosity, ratio of ENR/PVC solution to EtOH/H 2 O solution and sonication time.It was...
