Heat transfer enhancement in tubes is widely applied various industrial processes. The traditional method of heat to insert radial fins expand the internal surface area and destroy flow. However, there a flue gas corridor central tube, cost expanding inner fin high. A centrally symmetrical bent extruded aluminum was developed enhance tube. An experimental platform constructed test performance f...

An investigation was performed of the changes in image quality and patient dose as a result of increasing filtration for fluoroscopy performed under automatic brightness control. Filtration was added either at the x-ray tube housing (i.e., scatter-free geometry) or adjacent to a tissue equivalent phantom simulating the patient (i.e., with-scatter geometry). Patient doses were expressed in terms...

Closed cell aluminum foams have received much recent attention as energy absorbing materials on account of their ability to undergo extensive deformation at a relatively low stress called the plateau stress. Several studies describe the improvements in energy absorption to be obtained, relative to their empty counterparts, when foam filled tubes are crushed either quasi-statically or dynamicall...

In the present article, a numerical study is performed to investigate the crushing behavior of cylindrical and conical corrugated composite tubes. Different aluminum foams are applied to the proposed structures in order to offer an excellent energy absorption capacity. The crushing behavior of tubes are evaluated in terms of two parameters: SEA (specific energy absorption) and CFE (crush force ...

The characteristics of local heat transfer and pressure drop were investigated experimentally for the vertical up-flow boiling of refrigerant R1234yf in two types of aluminum multi-port extruded tubes having 16 channels with a crosssection of 0.91 × 0.21 mm (tube A) and 40 channels with a cross-section of 0.34 × 0.21 mm (tube B). At an evaporating temperature of 15 °C, the local heat transfer c...

This study introduced a method based on magnetic field assisted finishing mechanism for micromachining the inner surfaces of Aluminum tubes. In this approach, using the alternating magnetic field of an AC electromotor, abrasive particles were formed as Magnetic Rods (Magnetic Clusters) and surface micromachining was carried out by the dynamic particular pattern made by an alternating magnetic f...

Uniform carbon nano test tubes including magnetic metal particles inside their one-dimensional cavities were synthesized by the template method. The "as synthesized" metal-filled test tubes (35 nm in diameter and 1400 nm in length) were dispersible in ethanol, but not in water. To improve the water-dispersibility of the test tubes, their surface was treated with hydrogen peroxide and, as a resu...
