Abstract A common objective in the analysis of turbomachinery components (nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) or rotor blades, for example) is to calculate performance parameters, such as total pressure kinetic energy (KE) loss coefficients, from measurements a nonuniform flow-field. These parameters can be represented range ways. For example, line-averages used compare between different radial sections ...

Tourniquet-use has been described in litera- ture as a surgical factor leading to increased post-operative hidden blood loss total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis for this retro- spective study was that low-pressure tourniquet TKA would offer the benefits of surgery without potential negative effects on late after procedure. Therefore, evaluated (TBL) and (HBL) with or tourniquet. We re...

In this work, the effects of permeate pressure and feed flow rate on the performance of a composite polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane in the removal of benzene from gasoline by pervaporation (PV) were evaluated. The results indicate the remarkable effect of permeate pressure on membrane performance as reducing permeate pressure (higher vacuum) from 30 to 3 mmHg causes the total flux to increase ...
