A 32-year old male, with a history of depression and previous suicide attempts, was brought to hospital comatose after ingestion of brake fluid. He developed severe metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap, hypotension, seizures and mild renal impairment. He required intensive care treatment for ventilatory and inotropic support. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this unus...

This article describes the design optimization of a hydrodynamic brake with an electrorheological fluid. The is performed on basis mathematical model geometry and brake’s electrical circuit. parameters models are selected based experimental tests prototype brake. Six different objective functions minimized during optimization. created taking into consideration following factors: braking torque,...

The increasing demand from the consumer for higher levels of refinement from their passenger vehicles has put considerable pressure on the automotive industry to produce ever quieter cars. In order to prevent the occurrence of many forms of brake noise, especially judder and drone, excessive heating of the brake disc must be avoided, whilst minimising temperature variations across the rotor. In...

The liquid metal flow and the solidification behaviours in a multi-cavity casting mould of two automotive cast parts were simulated in three dimensions. The commercial code, FLOW-3D® was used because it can track the front of the molten metal by a Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and allows complicated parts to be modeled by the Fractional Area/Volume Obstacle Representation (FAVOR) meth...

This research carried out at University Port Harcourt from September 2019 to November 2020. Abro Jenox DOT3 fluids samples for this research. sample included their counterpart. Tests identify microorganisms physico-chemical parameters; done. Total viable count, pH...

With the development of brake-by-wire system, more and advanced driver assistance systems have been applied to automobiles. The system can collect driver’s braking intention through displacement sensor thus realize accurate by motor. Based on we design an algorithm that vehicle Comfort Stop Technology (CST) in this paper. CST control drop rise brake fluid pressure during stop vehicle, therefore...
