Laminar mixing of glycerin in a chaotic mixer is carried by means of the blob deformation method. The mixer was a cylindrical vessel with two rotational blades which move along two different circular paths with a stepwise motion protocol. The flow visualization was performed by marking of the free surface of the flow with a tracer. The effects of controlling parameters such as rotational speed ...

Movement of labeled amino acids from leaf blades to sheaths was followed after supplying (13)NH(3) gas, (14)CO(2), or (14)C-amino-acids to attached blades of barley plants.Blades of turgid and wilted plants fed (13)NH(3) (at about 120 to 700 microliters per liter) had incorporated (13)N mainly into free glutamine and glutamate after 30 minutes, and turgid blades had exported 1 to 3% of the assi...

anzali lagoon can be one of the most important wetlands called the world. this lagoon to support the most fish in the caspian sea is reproduced for the spawn, multiply, and sometimes live, to make the pond.much of rasht and anzali city sewage and agricultural waste area of the lagoon through rivers into the pyrbazar and increased levels of organic pollutants such as nitrite, nitrate, phosphate,...

A detailed review of the current state-of-art for wind turbine blade design is presented, including theoretical maximum efficiency, propulsion, practical efficiency, HAWT blade design, and blade loads. The review provides a complete picture of wind turbine blade design and shows the dominance of modern turbines almost exclusive use of horizontal axis rotors. The aerodynamic design principles fo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging of moving patients can be challenging and motion correction techniques have been proposed though some have associated new artifacts. The objective of this study was to semiquantitatively compare brain MR images of moving patients obtained at 1.5T by using partially radial and rectilinear acquisition techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS FLAIR, T2-, T1-, and contr...

Computational and analytical studies of degradation of wind turbine blade materials at the macro-, micro-, and nanoscale carried out by the modelling team of the Section Composites and Materials Mechanics, Department of Wind Energy, DTU, are reviewed. Examples of the analysis of the microstructural effects on the strength and fatigue life of composites are shown. Computational studies of degrad...

An automated, multi-disciplinary optimization procedure for sub-sonic gas turbine compressor blades is presented. Evolutionary optimization algorithms are coupled with existing tools for geometry generation, mechanical integrity analysis and Q3D flow analysis for design and off-design conditions. Aerodynamic and mechanical objectives and constraints are formulated based on the standard design c...
