Fracture shaft of humerus is a relatively common long bone fracture accounting for 10 percent of long bone fractures. But unlike other long bone fractures, the uniqueness of this fracture is that most fractures are managed conservatively rather than operatively. Excellent functional outcomes and high rates of bony union have been reported by numerous studies for conservatively managed fractures...

To predict noise in enclosure containing treated vibrating panels, porous layer effect has to be taken into account. This study propose an analytical model of the effects of a porous layer on a vibrating plate by separating the acoustical and vibratory behaviours. This paper deals with acoustic coupling by means of surface impedance derived by a one-dimensional model using ”Biot-Allard” theory....

Preliminary note Uniformity of the radial air jet issuing from the ceiling vortex diffuser with side entry plenum box was investigated experimentally. Two different cases of diffuser plenum box design were used: plenum box with perforated plate and plenum box without perforated plate. Air jet velocities were measured under isothermal conditions circumferentially around a diffuser. It was found ...

The evaporation of a sessile droplet is here investigated numerically with a design of experiment approach. Boundary conditions are chosen based on forced convection in humid air, i.e., mimicking the conditions inside a dishwasher. Computational fluid dynamic simulations of an axisymmetrical droplet placed on a heated plate show that relative humidity, initial contact angle, plate temperature, ...

Abstract. A new approach of the Polarity Effect in connection to the Corona Current and the Ground Effect in small rod-plate and rod-rod air gaps is presented. The influence of the polarity of the applied voltage to the corona onset voltage or the breakdown voltage of small rod-plate and rod-rod air gaps is investigated. The influence of the grounding of one of the electrodes, to the field dist...
