This paper introduces a new ‘Terrain Sensing System’ (TSS) that is able to record the cumulative damage seen by a ground vehicle over its entire operational life. Used within a HUMS IT process, this information can be calibrated to represent directly the residual life of onboard equipment such as electronic control systems, instrumentation, radios, brackets, refrigeration plants and weapons sys...

A dipstick assay for the detection of brucella-specific immunoglobulin M antibodies was evaluated with 707 sera from 247 laboratory-confirmed brucellosis patients and 342 control sera from brucellosis-free individuals. These sera were collected from six different countries. The assay was found to be highly sensitive and specific. In addition, the test is easy to use and does not require special...

Owing to its high efficiency and specific refrigeration power, elastocaloric is a promising technology that potentially endowed with replacing the conventional steam compression refrigeration. Here, experimental results on cooling process of natural rubber are presented, achieving maximum temperature drop during unloading 41.30 K difference 68 between hot cold ends at an ambient 253.13 K. Moreo...

In this paper, an advanced analysis of a novel hybrid compression-absorption refrigeration system (HCARS) for natural gas dew point control unit in a gas refinery is presented. This unit separates the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the natural gas, which is traditionally carried out by natural gas cooling in a compression refrigeration cycle (CRS). The power input required for the refrigeration...

The nowadays European educational framework boosts applying the learned theoretical concepts to real situations. Hence, practice sessions are key resources present students direct applications of shown in class. Thus, developing new equipment and oriented bringing knowledge closer should be one objectives teachers.The work describes a solution proposed by lectures two Spanish universities looki...

The global commercial refrigeration equipment market size was valued at USD 33.53 billion in 2020. It is expected to expand a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2 % from 2021 2028. Furthermore, factors such as regulatory pressures, shift lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants, technological breakthroughs, and the ability cater ever-changing consumer behaviors are also anticipate...

Now a days, In most of the thermal power plant, where low-pressure steam is being exhausted to the atmosphere as a waste steam. This waste heat could be use to operate many small preheating or cooling equipments or small scale plants. There are many refrigeration systems present for refrigeration and air condition purpose. Such as air refrigeration, vapour compression, vapour absorption etc. In...

Background: The application of laparoscopic method for intrauterine insemination is limited in sheep industry by the high cost of equipment and low pregnancy rate of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. Both disadvantages could be decreased if chilled ram semen is transported to the farms and inseminated through cervix. Semen extender provides the requirements for sperm and affects its motility, viabilit...

Refrigeration repair workers may be intermittently exposed to fluorocarbons and their thermal decomposition products. A case of peripheral neuropathy (distal axonopathy) in a commercial refrigeration repairman prompted an epidemiological investigation of the health of refrigeration repair workers. No additional cases of peripheral neuropathy were identified among the 27 refrigeration repair wor...

Refrigeration is one of the leading uses of electric power in the United States. The term "refrigeration" refers to air-conditioning for homes, businesses, and industry and the operation of refrigerators, freezers, and heat pumps. The technology most often used in refrigeration, the vapor compression cycle, is 100 years old, inefficient, and environmentally unsound. Since the 1980s, the refrige...
