abstract background: the pressure of consumption spots in eater supply systems is one of the most important hydraulic parameters can be used in optimized management of water distribution networks. since the pressure has some different effects on various parameters of the network management including its hydraulic functions, reliability, stability and leakage, its control is of great importance ...

The thermal performance of fin-and-tube heat exchangers (HX) is a crucial aspect in multitude applications and fields; several design operational parameters influence this performance. This study focuses on the issue flow maldistribution its effect HX For purpose, an experimental setup designed implemented to emulate conditions under which automotive exchanger operates regard non-uniform upstre...

in the present study, the microstructural changes of a nickel based superalloy nimonic80a during a non-isothermal deformation were studied. therefore, microstructure evolutionduring hot side pressing test was predicted with combined methods of finite element analysis andprocessing map of the material. the predicted results were validated through experimentalmicrostructural studies. the results ...

this research investigates the effect of the post-cure time on the residual stresses in laminated composites. laminated composites were made of t300 carbon fibers and epoxy resin. the post-cure process was carried out at the constant temperature of 120 °c for 6 and 12 hours for two specimens. the slitting method was employed to determine through-thickness residual stress distribution of the com...

introduction: broadcast fertilization method increases fertilizer losses while results in lower nutrient absorption by plant roots. fertigation is an effective method to increase water and fertilizer efficiency and to reduce the losses of nitrogen. moreover, it allows farmers to apply the nutrients in splits and few amounts in response to crop needs. in the present study, a field experiment was...

Methods of modifying the water distribution pattern of an impact-drive sprinkler are described. A method of pattern modification called intermittent diffusion is introduced. A deflector attached to the drive arm intermittently diffuses the jet of a standard circular-orifice nozzle, producing desirable pattern shapes while maintaining a large pattern radius. Uniformity of application for both wi...

Environmental pollution and emissions, along with the increasing production and distribution of goods, have placed the future of humanity at stake. Today, measures such as the extensive reduction in emissions, especially of CO2 and CO, have been emphasized by most researchers as a solution to the problem of environmental protection. This paper sought to explore production routing pro...
