Abstract In this study, the heat transfer characteristics of an improved absorber tube parabolic trough solar collector LS-2 are investigated using ANSYS software. Oil syltherm 800 type is used as a fluid. Three types tubes tested; first smooth and others finned tubes. One rough cases rectangular cross-section fins with rounding at fin base other does not have base. Simulations performed thickn...

Abstract This paper addressed the effect of copper acetate on combustion characteristics anthracite depending fractional composition fuel and additive introduction method. Anthracite was impregnated with 5 wt% Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 by mechanical mixing incipient wetness impregnation. Four samples different fraction d < 0.1 mm, = 0.1–0.5 0.5–1.0 1.0–2.0 mm were compared. According to EDX mapping, im...

We measured the internal potassium activity, a(i) (K), and membrane potential, E(m), simultaneously in 111 R2 giant neurons of Aplysia californica. a(i) (K) was 165.3 +/- 3.4 mM, E(m) was -47.8 +/- 0.9 mv, and E(K) calculated using the Nernst equation was -76.9 +/- 0.05 mv. Such values were maintained for as long as 6 hr of continuous recording in untreated cells, a(i) (K) fell exponentially af...

AIM The present study was performed to investigate the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors affecting milk fat yield and to estimate genetic parameters of monthly test day fat yields (MTDFY) and lactation 305-day fat yield (L305FY) in Murrah buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data on total of 10381 MTDFY records comprising the first four lactations of 470 Murrah buffaloes calved from 1...
