the present study investigated the influence of air temperature and velocity on the drying kinetics and specific energy consumption during fluidized bed drying of soybean at 80, 100, 120 and 140ºc and airflow rates of 1.8, 3.1 and 4.5 m s-1. six mathematical models for describing the fluidized bed drying behavior were investigated. the value of the drying rate coefficient (k) increased with inc...

A non-invasive Doppler velocity index that is specific for carotid artery stenosis is presented. The index is both non-dimensional (maximum/minimum velocity to remove within artery Doppler signal variability) and normalized (larger over smaller carotid maximum/minimum ratio to minimize between patient variability). Of 260 normal patients 94% had a maximum/minimum index between 1.00 and 1.25 and...

In this paper, the effect of adding hydrogen to the composition of methane and air in a micro combustor is investigated by a three-dimensional numerical method. First, the results of the current study in determining the wall temperature of the micro combustion chamber are compared with those obtained from the experimental and numerical results of the previous research. By confirming the numeric...
