The aim of this animal study was to investigate and compare the osseointegration of zirconia and titanium dental implants. 14 one-piece zirconia implants and 7 titanium implants were inserted into the mandibles of 7 minipigs. The zirconia implants were alternately placed submerged and non-submerged. To enable submerged healing, the supraosseous part was removed, using a diamond saw. The titaniu...

The erosion of the fixed guide vane a hydraulic turbine by sandy water is influenced not only flow velocity and mud concentration but also direction speed over surface. This study aims to investigate erosive effect sediment-laden on specific type turbine’s vane, validate efficacy discrete phase model (DPM) in simulating wear identify critical areas its To achieve these objectives, DPM are emplo...

Besides reciprocating compressors which are the traditional working machines in refrigeration cycles a growing number of different types of rotary compressors is used especially for air conditioning purposes. In an experimental investigation various reciprocating and rotary compressors were ana lysed concerning their thermodynamic and mechanical losses. The compressors investigated are all near...

background: in algeria the date wastes production is estimated at least 85.000 tones. date wastes is an economic source of carbohydrates for conversion to industrial enzymes because it is readily available and relatively low priced.objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of using date wastes as a substrate for the production of a-amylase and invertase. materials...

A new type of expander-compressor system called Cross Vane expander-compressor (CVEC) was introduced. This device replaces the expansion valve and compressor in conventional refrigeration systems to reduce the energy consumption and improve the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system. As opposed to many expander-compressor systems in the literature, whereby a separated expander is couple...

The radiometric force produced by a linear array of three radiometer vanes has been assessed numerically using an argon carrier gas and experimentally using air. The separation distance between the three vanes of the array was varied between 0 and 120 percent based on the height of an individual radiometer vane of 40mm. Qualitative agreement between the numerical and experimental results is sho...

For automotive applications, passive flow control devices can be used to reduce, delay or prevent flow separation. This study explores the nature of vortex generation and behaviour, numerically and experimentally, for a simple geometry at a Reynolds Number (Rex) of 5×10 5 and 1.945×10 6 . The setup comprised a triangular vane vortex-generator mounted on a shallow ramp referenced from literature...

The 2.5 MeV injector for the Spallation Neutron Source is currently under construction at LBNL, which includes a 2.5 MeV high power, high duty factor four vane RFQ made of four modules. Transverse mode stabilization is obtained through a series of cross coupling rods. Each of the four RFQ modules is equipped with twenty fixed tuners, two active power and two vacuum ports. Fine frequency tuning ...

SUMMARY The aerodynamic design and experimental performance of a centrifugal compressor designed for a pressure ratio of 6.5 and a specific speed of 68 are described, The compressor consisted of a radially-vaned impeller and a transonic, vaned radial diffuser. At design speed a peak overall total-to-total isentropic efficiency of 0.746 was achieved at the maximum pressure ratio of 5.9, rising t...

The tungsten vane monitors (TVMs) on the SRS at Daresbury are used operationally to monitor the photon beam position and angle on user beamlines. On many of these lines the TVM output is used to perform automatic feedback correction and it is therefore crucial to optimise the TVM precision and stability. Recent changes to TVM bias voltages and amplifier gain are reported which have improved the...
