Air and water are usually well separated by gravity due to their extreme difference in specific weight. Whenever they are mixed, however, they give rise to a very complex two-phase flow situation. The hydraulic engineer is often faced with the problem of estimating the effects of entrained air upon the flow, because this may be essential for the safe operation of a hydra·ul ic structure. Depend...

The development of low-traumatic surgical drains aimed at maximum possible separation blood and air, is an important trend in modern medicine. objective this work to create inexpensive, user-friendly dynamic aspiration system (DBAS). allows effective air when drawing from a wound under vacuum conditions required for aspiration. operating principle the separate liquid gas fractions blood-air mix...

the role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (vmn) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 ma, 15 sec). results revealed a significant decrease (p

This paper discusses the preliminary development of a neural network-based process monitor and off-line controller for abrasive flow machining of automotive engine intake manifolds. The process is only observable indirectly, yet the time at which machining achieves the specified air flow rate must be estimated accurately. A neural network model is used to estimate when the process has achieved ...

an s-curve to describe the gradual transition between exhaust pressure and intake or inlet pressure. The start of compression, which marks the end of the intake process, does not necessarily occur at the same time as the close of the intake valve (IVC). The intake valve closes after bottom center (BC) while the volume in the cylinder is decreasing. The engine speed determines the point at which...

The airconditioning systems of buildings have been diversified in recent years, and the complexity of the system has been increased. At the same time, stability in the system and the low-running cost are demanded. To solve these problems, various researches have been done. The development of the energy load prediction systems and the faults detection and diagnosis systems have received greater ...

In this work, result of experimental investigation on interaction of fuel spray generated by a swirled type injector, with air motion in a prototype cylinder are presented. Experiments were carried out by planar imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques in order to provide information about the spray structure evolution and instantaneous velocity distribution of air motion and ...

A method is developed to quantify systematic errors in two types of sea surface temperature (SST) observations: bucket and engine-intake measurements. A simple linear model is proposed where the SST measured using a bucket is cooled or warmed by a fraction of the air–sea temperature difference and the SST measured using an engine intake has a constant bias. The model is applied to collocated ni...
