cooling towers are widely used in most industrial units to reject waste heat to the atmosphere. this paper deals with an experimental analysis of heat and mass transfer phenomena between water and air by direct contact in a cooling tower. the tower is filled with 6 type packing. in this study temperature and pressure drop and tower characteristics was used in determining experimentally the ther...

background: flow cytometry is a rapid, sensitive, and reliable method for determination of bacterial viability. here we assayed the capability of flow cytometry to detect helicobacter pylori viable cells in both forms of spiral and coccoid. methods: viable bacteria stained with rhodamin 123 and fluoresced with laser beam of 488nm. the rate of rh123 absorption was determined in both forms of bac...

This article analyses the dependence of load value, age, gender and pathology on arterial blood pressure and blood flow rate. Three male and female different age groups were examined. The load applied ranged from 50 W to 150 W. The hodograms for different genders and age groups were made. These hodograms show the human adaptability to chosen maximal values of arterial blood pressure and blood f...

Heat transfer from the internal surfaces of a vertical pipe to the adjacent air gives rise to the air flow establishment within the pipe. With the aim of optimizing the convective air flow rate in a vertical pipe, the details of the flow and thermal fields were investigated in the present study. Conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy were solved numerically using simple implicit f...

The unstable flow with rotating-stall-like (RS) effects in a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor was numerically investigated. The RS was captured with the reduction in mass flow rate and increasing of exit static pressure with respect to design operating condition of the single rotor. The oscillatory velocity traces during the stall propagation showed that the RS vortices repeat periodically,...

The main objective of this study is the modelling and optimization of an industrial Hydrocracker Unit (HU) by means of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model. In this case, some data were collected from an industrial hydrocracker plant. Inputs of an ANFIS include flow rate of fresh feed and recycle hydrogen, temperature of reactors, mole percentage of H2 and H2S, feed flow rate and...
