In Part I ([2]) the authors introduced solid tangent sweeps and solid tangent clusters produced by sweeping a planar region S tangentially around cylinders. This paper extends [2] by sweeping S not only along cylinders but also around more general surfaces, cones for example. Interesting families of tangentially swept solids of equal height and equal volume are constructed by varying the cylind...

The compression process in a piston cylinder device in a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system is studied computationally. Twelve different cases featuring four different compression space length-to-radius aspect ratios and three different Reynolds numbers are studied computationally using the commercial CFD code ANSYS FLUENT. The solutions show that for compression with a constant veloci...

In this paper the damage location in beam like-structure is determined using static and dynamic data obtained using finite volume method. The change of static and dynamic displacement due to damage is used to establish an indicator for determining the damage location. In order to assess the robustness of the proposed method for structural damage detection, three test examples including a static...

Dynamic storage allocation has a signi cant impact on computer performance. A dynamic storage allocator manages space for objects whose lifetimes are not known by the system at the time of their creation. A good dynamic storage allocator should utilize storage e ciently and satisfy requests in as few instructions as possible. A dynamic storage allocator on a multiprocessor should have the abili...

introduction: ambulatory care is an inseparable part of health care system. it is commonly considered as the entrance of the patient to the health care system. high qualify ambulatory care has an important role in reducing mortality and morbidity rates. on the other hand, quality of information has an important role in the quality and safety of ambulatory health care. it is hence necessary to p...

in this research, different concentrations of xanthan and lepidium perfoliatum seed gums (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) were used to improve the quality and shelf-life of chiffon cake. for this purpose, specific gravity and apparent viscosity of batter, and the volume, specific volume, moisture, sensory and texture properties, crumb and crust color were examined. to investigate the effect of gums on the s...

In dynamic graph algorithms the following provide-or-bound problem has to be solved quickly: Given a set S containing a subset R and a way of generating random elements from S testing for membership in R, either (i) provide an element of R or (ii) give a (small) upper bound on the size of R that holds with high probability. We give an optimal algorithm for this problem. This algorithm improves ...

Applications of granular materials, such as packed particle beds, are frequent in the oil and gas sector. Granular solids can also be used as adsorbents for natural gas storage in vehicles. Therefore, knowledge of the properties of such materials is important for safe and efficient equipment design. In this work, in order to evaluate the influence of particle shape on the porosity of particle b...

In this paper, a new topology for Interline Dynamic Voltage Restorer (IDVR) is proposed. This topology contains two direct three-phase converters which have been connected together by a common fictitious dc-link. According to the kind of the disturbances, both of the converters can be employed as a rectifier or inverter. The converters receive the required compensation energy from the gird thro...
