This paper provides a method of preliminary design for a two-dimensional, mixed compression, two-ramp supersonic inlet to maximize total pressure recovery and match the mass flow demand of the engine. For an on-design condition, the total pressure recovery is maximized according to the optimization criterion, and the dimensions of the inlet in terms of ratios to the engine face diameter are cal...

â  performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (sru) are greatly affected by the h2s:co2 ratio of the acid gas stream. the acid gases in iran contain around 35 mol% h2s and 60 mol% co2. this low concentration of h2s calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. acid gas enrichment processes (age) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

In this study, the performance of an adsorbent coated finned tube exchanger for carbon capture was investigated numerically. The results showed that this structure has a great potential for being applied as a medium for CO2 capture by rapid indirect thermal swing adsorption. By using this structure, the recovery of 96%, and purity of 98% were achieved with a simple cycle consisting of two steps...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

BACKGROUND The adverse events induced by intubation and extubation may cause intracranial hemorrhage and increase of intracranial pressure, especially in posterior fossa surgery patients. In this study, we proposed that I-gel combined with tracheal intubation could reduce the stress response of posterior fossa surgery patients. METHODS Sixty-six posterior fossa surgery patients were randomly ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence of residual curarization (RC) and related risk factors in the early and late postoperative periods in patients receiving general anesthesia with intermediate-acting muscle relaxants. METHODS Two-hundred and eight American Society of Anesthesiologists class I and II patients, aged 18-70 years, who underwent general anesthesia with intermediate-acting muscle re...

the electrical resistivity of hydrocarbon reservoir rocks is an important parameters in the calculation of water and oil saturation percent in both carbonate and sandstone reservoir rocks.in this regard, most studies have concentrated on the confining  pressure on cementation factor and electrical resistivity in sandstone reservoir rocks. in this study the effect of confining pressure on cement...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the prevalence of abnormal von Willebrand multimers (AbM) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the impact of TAVR on the underlying factor variances. BACKGROUND An association between the acquired von Willebrand syndrome (aVWS) and valvular aortic stenosis (AS) has been established in the past and surgical aortic ...
