The present study considers of the water and air flow and Micro-Bubble production inside the venturi tube, by the use of dimensional analysis. Numerical analysis of Micro-Bubble creation in venturi tube requires fast computers and large amounts of storage space. Up to now, there has been no numerical analysis concerning Micro-Bubble creation and all other existing studies are experimental. To s...

In oil and gas and geothermal installations, open channels followed by sieves for removal of drill cuttings, are used to monitor the quality and quantity of the drilling fluids. Drilling fluid flow rate is difficult to measure due to the varying flow conditions (e.g., wavy, turbulent and irregular) and the presence of drilling cuttings and gas bubbles. Inclusion of a Venturi section in the open...

Removal of fly ash using wet scrubbers is widely used in the small and medium scale industries. Among the wet scrubbing methods, spray column falls into the simplest type category for its simple construction and various advantages. A novel pilot plant wet scrubber has been conceived, designed and fabricated. This paper distinctly focuses on the detailed design and fabrication of the ejector, wh...

INTRODUCTION The Privacy Rule of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act requires that clinical documents be stripped of personally identifying information before they can be released to researchers and others. We have been developing a software application, NLM Scrubber, to de-identify narrative clinical reports. METHODS We compared NLM Scrubber with MIT's and MITRE's de-identifi...

A "cannot-ventilate, cannot-intubate" situation is critical. In difficult airway management, transtracheal jet ventilation (TTJV) has been recommended as an invasive procedure, but specialized equipment is required. However, the influence of upper airway resistance (UAR) during TTJV has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to compare TTJV using a manual jet ventilator (MJV) and the oxy...

original paper   the mass-transfer media plays a significant role on the performance of a packed tower. in this paper three counter-current single-stage packed towers at laboratory scale, randomly packed with two different sizes of two types of packing material were experimentally tested to study the role of the packing on the performance of them in the removal of sulfuric acid mists. gas sampl...

venturi flumes are measurement structures commonly used in water systems to measure the flow discharge. some of them are not well installed or present some geometrical defects. the objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic influence of a number of typical wrong installations and geometrical defects of long-throated venturi flumes: significant positive or adverse slopes, humps and ...

A semi-continuous and automated method for quantifying atmospheric ammonia at the parts per billion level has been developed. The instrument consists of a high efficiency diffusion scrubber, an electrolytic on-line anion exchange device, and a conductivity detector. Water soluble gases in sampled air diffuse through the porous membrane and are absorbed in an absorbing solution. Interferences ar...

Abstract—Wet scrubbers have found widespread use in cleaning contaminated gas streams because of their ability to remove particulates and based on the applications of scrubbing of marine engine exhaust gases by spraying sea-water. In order to examine the flow characteristics inside the scrubber, the model is designated with flow properties of hot air and water sprayer. The flow dynamics of evap...
