A chromium electroplating bath with the ability to produce homogenous mist was used to evaluate parameters influencing hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) mist sampling methods. The results of 48 Cr+6mist samples collected using the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health method 7600...

This paper describes the steps performed by the authors’ company to validate and qualify the introduction of a new fire protection system for heavy-duty gas turbines based on water mist technology. Initially, a finite element model (FEM) of a newly developed 32 MW-class industrial gas turbine for mechanical drive and power generation was generated to simulate gas turbine (GT) casings deformatio...

In sanitary inquiries my attention was early directed to instances of layers or strata of air of malarious influence, sucli as this : A medical officer, pointing to a mist, spread like a sheet over a valley, said, " That sheet just covers the bulk of my patients; out of it or above it I have nothing scarcely but midwifery cases and accidents. I have, had instances of children whose heads were a...

waterwashing or biodiesel purification is one of the steps in biodiesel fuel processing. waterwashing of the fuel is an indispensable processing stage, due to the presence of impurities in the fuel. in this research work, some of the effective parameters in biodiesel waterwashing and the optimum conditions which lead to economy in time and cost of waterwashing were investigated. the effective p...

The heat dissipation capacity of air-cooled computing and telecommunications cabinets is limited by acoustic noise and fan reliability considerations. The present work quantifies the potential for thermal management of a sealed cabinet using an evaporating mist introduced upstream of the high-power electronic components. The proposed concept consists of droplets of mist being dispersed in the a...

DENSITY: software for analysing capture–recapture data from passive detector arrays.— A general computer–intensive method is described for fitting spatial detection functions to capture–recapture data from arrays of passive detectors such as live traps and mist nets. The method is used to estimate the population density of 10 species of breeding birds sampled by mist–netting in deciduous forest...

In this work, the process of mist deposition is explored as a method used to deposit organic semiconductors for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The deposition kinetics of a specially formulated hole transport agent is studied. The results indicate that the mist-deposited organic film thickness varies linearly with precursor concentration, deposition time and substrate pot...
