The main objective of this research work is to find the natural frequency and mode shape of truck transmission housing. Truck transmission housing or gearbox transmission casing is subjected to vibration induced by the excitation forces transmitted to the casing through bearings. So it is required to find the natural frequency for the accurate prediction of housing life and prevent it from frac...

Dense slurry flow through centrifugal pump casing has been modeled using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach with Eulerian multiphase model in FLUENT 6.1. First order upwinding is considered for the discretization of momentum, k and ε terms. SIMPLE algorithm has been applied for dealing with pressurevelocity coupling. A mixture property based k-ε turbulence model has been used for modeling turbulenc...

In a hydrocarbon well, cement fills the annular gap between two steel casings or between a steel casing and rock formation, forming a sheath that isolates fluids in different zones of the well. For a well as long as several kilometers, the cement sheath covers a large area and inevitably contains small cracks. The cement sheath fails when a small crack grows and tunnels through the length of th...

Social isolation is the great enemy of psychiatric patients on the "ireshold of recovery. Mary Andere describes the Bromley scheme for casing the transition from hospital back into the community.

The rapid growth in natural gas consumption has increased the need for gas storage, in particular in the form of injection into depleted reservoirs. Also, CO2 sequestration into the depleted reservoirs has attracted a large attention recently. However, it is important to ensure that the injection pressure is maintained below a certain limit to avoid unsealing the cap rock or reactivation of any...

Continuous improvements of properties for individual parts are indispensable for perpetual development of aircraft engines. Concerning casing and seal, simulation of ring rolling process is one of the most attractive tools to reduce the cost and time and to improve the properties and the reliability at the same time. In order to obtain both practical prediction accuracy and acceptable computati...

This paper introduces a comparative theoretical investigation of the conventional cathodic protection (CP) and the pulse cathodic protection (PCP) systems to show how both of them behave under different operating conditions. The effectiveness of the PCP system has been analyzed in the light of getting better protection-current distribution along the protected well casing at reduced anode curren...

We describe the application of a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) combined with a self-adaptive goal-oriented hp Finite Element (FE) method to the simulation of resistivity measurements. The adaptive refinements and fast convergence of the self-adaptive hp FE method enhance the performance of the PML and, thus, enable the accurate and efficient truncation of the computational domain in open domain...
