In the paper we have focused the effect of Hematocrit on flow parameters, such as resistance, frictional resistance, and skin friction due to stenosis in the artery taking blood as non-Newtonian fluid. It has been found that resistance increases with the increasing of hematocrit level and stenosis height. It is also shown that a skin-friction increase with increasing of stenosis height and decr...

T he ablative effect of radiofrequency (RF) energy is based on resistive heating of tissue adjacent to the delivery electrode. Generally, the amount of heat generated relates to the amount of power delivered. Thus, under controlled experimental conditions, delivered power can be used as a parameter to control the amount of myocardial damage.1,2 However, in the clinical situation, a large propor...

In this study electrical discharge process was used to increase surface wear resistance of pure aluminum. Pulse-on-time and pulse current were considered as input parameters of the electrical discharge process. Experimental results reveal that the electrical discharge process is a successful method for improving the surface wear resistance of aluminum, so that this method has greatly increased ...

Original scientific paper Failure tests were conducted on marble under different unloading confining pressure rates to obtain the energy change curve of whole-process deformation and failure. With increasing unloading rate, the peak stress differences in marble failure were reduced, confining pressure differences in failure increased, the increment ratios of each stress confining pressure were ...

In this work, homogeneous thermochemical co-precipitation method was used to fabricate W-25wt%Cu nanocomposite. Synthesized nanocomposite powder was calcined and reduced. A hydrogen atmosphere sintering at 1200oC for 105 consolidated the product up to a density close to 98% theoretical density. Wear experiment were carried out using a pin-ondisc set up at three normal loads of 5, 10 and 15 N an...

Large Scale Shocks are responsible for the heating of the ICM and can be important sources of Cosmic Rays (CR) in the Universe. However the occurrence and properties of these shocks are still poorly constrained from both a theoretical and an observational side. In this work we analyze the properties of Large Scale Shocks in a (103Mpc/h) cosmological volume simulated with the public 1.0.1 releas...

iii iv CONTENTS 4 Friction in Quantum-Classical Systems 67 Conclusion 77 A The Influence Functional 79 Introduction The study of dissipation is of great theoretical and technological importance. While physics often models a system as isolated, with all the relevant degrees of freedom accounted for, in most realistic cases the " interesting " part of the system is coupled to many external degree...
