Dual turbocharger turbine is fed by an unequal out-of-phase mass flow charge almost all the time which have significant effects on its performance parameters and flow phenomena which are not well known. Besides fully understanding the flow behavior in the radial turbine suffers from lack of detailed information about the secondary flows. This article studies the secondary flow structure within ...

Carbon dioxide capture is a key issue in climate change mitigation. For decades the removal of carbon dioxide has been an essential step in many industrial processing operations such as the synthesis of ammonia, natural gas purification, and oil refining. In this study, a rotating packed bed has been designed for absorption of carbon dioxide from an air stream. The rotating packed bed is a comp...

A general algorithm is presented for determining values for unit cost coefficients that reflect water use priorities for network flow programming models of water resource systems. The overarching principle for setting unit penalties for priority-based operations is that senior unit penalties must exceed the combined junior unit penalties for any feasible competing space-time path through the sy...

Existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. Several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. This paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...

Pre-sedimentation basins are among the most important elements of the conventional water treatment process. In pre-sedimentation basins, due to different velocity gradients, secondary and rotational flows are formed that will create short paths and increase dead and still flow zones as well as changes in the flow mixing. This will prevent laminar flow conditions for sedimentation and will reduc...

Blood flow is modeled as non-Newtonian micropolar fluid. The non-linear governing equations of continuum and momentum in the cylindrical coordinate are being discretized using a finite difference approach and have been solved iteratively ,through Crank-Nicolson method. The blood velocity distribution, volumetric flow rate and Resistance to blood flow at the stenosis throat are computed for vari...

Heat dissipation per unit volume has grown rapidly, as the size of modern electronic devices has continued to decrease. The air flow induced by an oscillating cantilever blade enhances the heat transfer performance of high heat density devices. The heat transfer improvement mainly depends on the velocity magnitude and distribution of air streams induced by the vibrating blade. Accordingly, this...

In this paper, we develop a continuous distribution on the unit interval characterized by of absolute hyperbolic tangent transformation random variable following normal distribution. The lack research prospect transformations providing flexible distributions is motivation for study. First, study it theoretically and discuss its properties interest from modeling point view. particular, shown tha...
