background and objectives: pomegranate juice (pj) contains large particles that stick to evaporator walls causing off flavors in the concentrate due to burning. microfiltration is used to clarify pj. fouling is a limiting phenomenon that can prevent the industrialization of membrane clarification. changes in the geometry of the membrane module such as using baffles are useful to decrease this p...

In vertical Bridgman (VB) systems, the shape of S-L interface greatly influences yield and perfection single crystal, because continuous contact with crucible. The melt flows are difficult to modify control. Baffles flow-directing or obstructing devices. VB melts, baffles disk shaped, positioned horizontally above solid-liquid (S-L) interface. role baffle is to: i) minimize thermally-driven con...

Building acoustic beamformers is a problem whose solution is hindered by the wide-band nature of audible sound. In order to achieve a consistent directional response over a wide range of frequencies, a conventional acoustic beamformer needs a high number of discrete loudspeakers and be large enough to achieve a desired low-frequency performance. The acoustic beamformer design described in this ...

the effect of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-al2o3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. since the properties of γ-al2o3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

OBJECTIVES The total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), the current palliation of choice for single-ventricle heart defects, is typically created with a single cylindrical tunnel or conduit routing inferior vena caval (IVC) flow to the pulmonary arteries. Previous studies have shown the haemodynamic efficiency of the TCPC to be sub-optimal due to the collision of vena caval flow, thus placing an ...

This paper presents a method for calculating the directivity of the radiation of sound from a panel or opening, whose vibration is forced by the incidence of sound from the other side. The directivity of the radiation depends on the angular distribution of the incident sound energy in the room or duct in whose wall or end the panel or opening occurs. The angular distribution of the incident sou...

Presence of salts in water has been one of the biggest problems of industrial equipment such as evaporators, boilers, and pipes. These salts gradually form scales on evaporators and boilers tubes and reduce their efficiency. Pretreatment processes are conducted to remove these salts; with sedimentation tanks being one of the essential equipment used in these processes. This study numerically si...

The demand for liquid carriers, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years. One of the most common types LNG carriers is membrane type, which often built by a shipyard with prismatic tank shape. This carrier commonly known its effective ways to mitigate sloshing using baffle. Therefore, this study was performed evaluate vertical and T-shape baffles. conducted 25% 50% fil...
