Absorption determined by mass transfer in the liquid is described well with the Graetz-L&&que equation adapted from heat transfer. The influence of a chemical reaction on the mass transfer was simulated with a numerical model and tested on the absorption of CO2 in a hydroxide solution. Absorption determined by mass transfer in the gas phase and the pores of the membrane was also analysed experi...

let $r$ be a right artinian ring or a perfect commutative‎‎ring‎. ‎let $m$ be a noncosingular self-generator $sum$-lifting‎‎module‎. ‎then $m$ has a direct decomposition $m=oplus_{iin i} m_i$‎,‎where each $m_i$ is noetherian quasi-projective and each‎‎endomorphism ring $end(m_i)$ is local‎.

In 2010, gynecologic malignancies were the 4th leading cause of death in U.S. women and for patients with extensive primary or recurrent disease, treatment with interstitial brachytherapy may be an option. However, brachytherapy requires precise insertion of hollow catheters with introducers into the tumor in order to eradicate the cancer. In this study, a software solution to assist interstiti...

Origami-inspired foldable structures have seen much recent interest for applications in which transportability or rapid construction are primary design drivers, for example emergency shelters and temporary staging structures. This paper proposes a new type of a structural module that can be manually folded from flat steel sheet into a novel self-braced triangular structural section. Simple geom...

This paper presents a detailed description of the computer implementation of a generalized midpoint algorithm for integration of constitutive relations for von Mises’ hardening material. A nonlinear scalar equation for determination of the plastic multiplier is derived. The solution of this equation for a hardening material, by the Newton-Raphson method, usually converges in threefour iteration...

A quantitative analysis of the effects of variable ®ber properties on the performance of a cross̄ow hollow ®ber gas separation module is presented. The effects of variations in size, permeance, and selectivity are considered. Fiber variability is detrimental to performance. The recovery and ̄ow rate of an enriched retentate stream decrease as variability increases. Some ®bers may actually stop p...

A theoretical and experimental study of the effects of variable fiber properties on countercurrent hollow fiber gas separation module performance is presented. Variations in ID, slow gas permeance, and selectivity are considered. Variability in any of these properties is detrimental to performance. The drop in performance increases as either property variation or product purity increase, but pe...

Abstract Thermal stresses of a functionally graded hollow thick cylinder due to non-uniform internal heat generation are studied in this paper. Analytical solutions obtained with radially varying properties by using the theory elasticity. distribution for different values powers module elasticity and power law index studied. The results have been computed numerically illustrated graphically.
