A case of unexpected cardiovascular collapse during nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia recently occurred in the hospital. A flow rate of 8 l./min was in use via a Magill attachment. Effective treatment was instituted and the patient made a satisfactory recovery. Some days later discussion of the event brought to light the fact that the halothane vaporizer, a calibrated Boyle bottle...

Surface and structural damage to plasma-facing components (PFCs) due to the frequent loss of plasma con®nement is a serious problem for the tokamak reactor concept. The plasma energy deposited on these components during loss of con®nement causes signi®cant surface erosion, possible structural failure, and frequent plasma contamination. Surface damage consists of vaporization, spallation, and li...

We present a technique for synthesizing spatially and temporally varying textures on continuous flows using image or video input, guided by the physical characteristics of the fluid stream itself. This approach enables the generation of realistic textures on the fluid that correspond to the local flow behavior, creating the appearance of complex surface effects, such as foam and small bubbles. ...

Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is a well established process for preparing ceramic coatings. In this process, powder particles injected into the plasma jet are heated and accelerated simultaneously in the plasma stream and are deposited in molten or semi-molten droplets conditions onto a prepared substrate. During droplet impingement, these molten droplets rapidly solidify to form single spl...

In recent years, forest fires and maritime accidents have occurred frequently, which had a bad impact on human production life. Thus, the development of seaplanes is an increasingly urgent demand. It important to study taxiing process for seaplanes, strong nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problem. this paper, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method based Lagrangian framework utilized ...

Due to excellent thermo-mechanical properties, tungsten (W) is considered as a promising divertor material in ITER, full divertor in JET, first wall in DEMO and ASDEX Upgrade. During plasma disruptions and ELMs the W material can be severely damaged because of macroscopic melt losses resulting in short lifetime and plasma contamination. Therefore, understanding the underlying forces and physica...

The impact of droplets on liquid pools is ubiquitous in nature and many industrial applications. Most previous studies droplet focus Newtonian fluids, while less attention has been paid to the dynamics non-Newtonian droplets, even though fluids are widely used In this study, splashing shear-thinning with yield stress studied by combined experiments simulations. formation propagation ejecta shee...
