The gas delivered from a cylinder of Entonox (50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen) may not contain adequate quantities of oxygen if the cylinder has been cooled and then allowed to warm up in a vertical position.The composition of gas delivered from cylinders cooled to not lower than -40 degrees C. remains unaltered if the cylinders are rewarmed for 24 hours in a horizontal position at a temperatu...

The internal pressure of a thin-walled cylindrical structure under axial compression may improve the buckling stability by relieving loads and reducing initial imperfections. In this study, effect on knockdown factor is investigated for axially compressed composite cylinders with different shell thickness ratios slenderness ratios. Various are considered when derived both pressure. Nonlinear po...

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

Compressed natural gas as an alternative fuel obviously has a great potential to reduce the greenhouse emissions. Although several studies on life cycle are quite comprehensive for passenger vehicles, it is problematic apply these results heavy-duty electric hybrid trucks. This paper describes Well-to-Wheel methodology environmental impact from production its final application. The CO2 equivale...
