Solar water heaters are good tools for saving fuel. The main component of these water heaters is collectors, which are responsible for absorbing solar energy and transferring it to the working fluid with the least heat dissipation. The present study is an experimental study of the performance of the solar semispherical collector with 1 m2 of absorber area at different volumetric flow...

Submitted Volumetric modulated arc therapy for stereotactic body radiotherapy: Planning considerations, delivery accuracy and efficiency

in this paper, an object-based, highly scalable, lossy-to-lossless 3d wavelet coding approach for volumetric medical image data (e.g. mr and ct) is proposed. the new method, called 3dobhs-spiht, is based on the well known set partitioning in hierarchical trees (spiht) algorithm and supports both quality and resolution scalability. the 3d input data is grouped into groups of slices (gos) and eac...

This paper presents the technical performance measurements of biogas premixed charge diesel dual fuelled engine. A 4-stroke research diesel engine was used for the performance analysis. The performance parameters like engine brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency and brake thermal efficiency were measured and compared with conventional diesel with different proporti...

the shape of a solar collector is an important factor in solar-to-thermal energy conversion. conical shape is one of the stationary and symmetric shapes that can be employed as a solar water heater. flow rate of working fluid on the solar collector has an important effect on the efficiency of the collector. the present study is an experimentally investigated of the performance of the solar coni...

In this work, extraction of propionic acid from the aqueous phase to the organic phase (1-octanol) was performed in T-junction microchannels and effects of channel diameter and fluid flow rate on the mass transfer characteristics were investigated. The two-phase flow patterns in studied microchannels with 0.4 and 0.8 mm diameters were observed. Weber ‎ number and surface-to-volume ratio were ca...
