A numerical and experimental investigation of flow and heat transfer in a gas- liquid Thermosyphon Heat Exchanger "THE" with built in heat pipes and aluminum plate fins for moderate Reynolds numbers has been carried out. It's module is composed of 6 rows and 15 columns copper pipes with aluminum plate fins with dimensions of 130cm height, 47cm width and  20cm depth. The tubes have been fill...

A laser produces electromagnetic radiation which is both spatially coherent and of narrow spectral width via a mechanism known as Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The first working laser was developed in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories. Since then laser technology has proliferated, with uses in industry, medicine, research, military and law enforc...

Floral herbivory may have deleterious effects on the reproductive success of flowering plants. However, plants may evolve floral traits that allow them to defend against herbivory in particular conditions. A bumblebee-pollinated subalpine herb, Pedicularis rex (Orobanchaceae), endemic to southwest China, has cup-like bracts that fill with rainwater, which submerges its corolla tubes. We hypothe...

This paper introduces an innovative concept of FRP/concrete hybrid structural member. This concept includes rectangular filament-wound glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubes, totally or partially filled with concrete, and used as beams and/or columns. The paper presents the experimental program and results of three beams and five short columns tested with different eccentricities. Two of t...

Elevated pCO2 threatens coral reefs through impaired calcification. However, the extent to which elevated pCO2 affects the distribution of the pelagic larvae of scleractinian corals, and how this may be interpreted in the context of ocean acidification (OA), remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that elevated pCO2 affects one aspect of the behavior (i.e., motility) of brooded larvae from Po...

In this study, β-Ti3Au lattice structure was proposed for the first time in literature as a filling material to increase energy absorption performance of thin-walled tubes. context, performances conventional (i.e., BCC and FCC) filled tubes novel with were compared experimentally. hybrid, FCC hybrid structures produced by additive manufacturing technology using PA2200 powder crushed evaluated c...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the energy absorption behavior some reticulated tubes with different auxetic and non-auxetic wall grid patterns. Re-entrant, arrow-head anti-tetrachiral were three types cellular patterns for tubes, conventional honeycomb pattern was used tubes. All designed specimens fabricated by laser rotary cutting machine on steel crushing tests performed a universal...

Metals are common construction materials for heat exchangers. However, metals may suffer from failure due to corrosion, especially in harsh environments. Innovative thermally conductive polymer composite tubes based on polypropylene or polyphenylene sulfide filled with graphite have been developed. Crystallization fouling metal surfaces has extensively studied. data very limited. In the current...

Abstract Concrete-filled steel tube columns are widely used in civil engineering structures due to their excellent ductility, energy absorption capacity, ultimate load-bearing and seismic behavior. In this paper, a numerical study modeling of eight lightweight concrete conventional filled tubes was carried out using ABAQUS software, the lateral load-carrying capacity square circular under cycli...
