A device of cool-thermal discharge system with performance improved has been developed by complete removal of melt with time-velocity variation of flowing air during on-peak power consumption. The simulation of estimating the thickness of ice melted and the thermal penetration distance in ice layer region with convective transfer by controlling air velocity with specified discharging fluxes on ...

In this paper, numerical simulations have been conducted to study the effects of key environmental and test conditions (air velocity, temperature, film thickness, and sample application time) on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from a "wet" coating material (wood stain). Simulation results indicate that air velocity and sample application time only significantly affect the emission pro...

An experimental investigation was conducted to simultaneously measure the instantaneous velocities of large particles and air in two-phase flow using Laser Doppler Velocimeter. Measurements at two Photo-Multiplier voltage settings are used to separate the signals from the small seeding particles that trace the air flow and the suspended solid particle based on the difference of scattered light ...

High velocity penetration of a rigid conical impactor into a ductile target with air gaps between the plates is studied using the cylindrical cavity expansion approximation describing impactor±target interaction. It is showed that the latter model predicts improvement of the ballistic performance of the target with the increase of air gaps. It is found analytically that the ballistic limit velo...

Room air distribution in hospital operating rooms (OR) is critical to the effective functioning of surgical procedures, but the air distribution patterns are governed by complex physics that are currently not well understood. Both qualitative and quantitative flow visualization techniques were used to evaluate the room air distribution in a full-scale chamber designed to simulate a hospital ope...

Semianalytical solutions are developed for turbulent hydrogen-air plume. We derived analytical expressions for plume centerline variables radius, velocity, and density deficit in terms of a single universal function, called plume function. By combining the obtained analytical expressions of centerline variables with empirical Gaussian expressions of the mean variables, we obtain semianalytical ...

This study introduces an experimental and theoretical investigation of the performance of a proposed air dehumidification system using a nanofluid of γ-alumina nano-particles in LiBr/H2O as a desiccant. Comparative experiments organized using a central composite design were carried out to evaluate the effects of six numerical factors (air velocity, desiccant flow rate, air humidity ratio, desic...

The article deals with numerical investigation of axisymmetric subsonic air to air ejector. An analysis of flow and mixing processes in cylindrical mixing chamber are made. Several modes with different velocity and ejection ratio are presented. The mixing processes are described and differences between flow in the initial region of mixing and the main region of mixing are described. The lengths...

A series of tests were conducted to determine the velocities necessary for lead air gun pellets (calibers .177 and .22) and caliber .38 lead bullets to perforate skin. Human lower extremities were used. Caliber .177 air gun pellets weighing 8.25 grains required a minimum velocity of 101 m/s (331 ft/s) to perforate skin. The energy per area of presentation ratio E/a was 1:86 m X kg/cm2. Caliber ...
