this paper is about experimental results for partial reduction of vortex at vertical pipe intakes. one of the easiest and practical ways of reducing vortex effect is to use anti-vortex plates or baffles. these plates can be used to avoid the vortex completely or partially. this paper will concentrate on the latter case. rectangular plates with different dimensions have been placed at different ...

In air-cooling applications with frost production, heat exchanger performance is often air-side limited, because the two-phase flow of the refrigerant provides excellent heat transfer coefficients, and because designers typically use a large air-side fin spacing for frost tolerance. The large fin spacing prolongs operation of the heat exchanger by mitigating the effect of the accumulating frost...

Many robotic planning applications involve continuous actions with highly non-linear constraints, which cannot be modeled using modern planners that construct a propositional representation. We introduce STRIPStream: an extension of the STRIPS language which can model these domains by supporting the specification of blackbox generators to handle complex constraints. The outputs of these generat...

We develope the dual picture for Quantum Electrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions. It is shown that the photon is massless in the Coulomb phase due to spontaneous breaking of the magnetic symmetry group. The generators of this group are the magnetic fluxes through any infinite surface ΦS. The order parameter for this symmetry breaking is the operator V (C) which creates an infinitely long magnetic vor...

This paper examines the numerical work of thermal convection over tube banks with winglets through heat exchanger in two parts under turbulent conditions. The first section investigates influence two-phase (water and air) flow on performance kinds vortex generators (Delta Rectangular) across oval banks. second studied four types (Delta, Rectangular, Zikzak, Sinusoidal wavy), circular tubes, for...
