The single-phase flow and thermal performance of a double pipe heat exchanger are examined by experimental methods. The working fluid is water at atmospheric pressure. Temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the two streams and also at an intermediate point half way between the inlet and outlet is made, using copper-constantan thermocouple wires. Mass flow rates for each stream are ...

in this work, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from model flue gas on different adsorbents has been investigated. using simplified modeling, parameters such as the total mass transfer coefficient and the effective diffusivity have been determined. experiments were carried out in two sections: firstly, adsorption of pure carbon dioxide on different adsorbents was measured at pressures ranging fr...

By new advancements in vehicle manufacturing vehicle quality evaluation and assurance has become a more critical issue. In present work, the vibration transfer path analysis and vibration path ranking of a car interior has been performed. The method is similar to classical multilevel TPA methods but has distinct differences. The method is named VIVS which stands for Vehicle Interior Vibratio...

introduction spiral conveyors effectively carry solid masses as free or partly free flow of materials. they create good throughput and they are the perfect solution to solve the problems of transport, due to their simple structure, high efficiency and low maintenance costs. this study aims to investigate the performance characteristics of conveyors as function of auger diameter, rotational spee...

Liquid-to-gas mass transfer in anaerobic processes was investigated theoretically and experimentally. By using the classical definition of k(L)a, the global volumetric mass transfer coefficient, theoretical development of mass balances in such processes demonstrates that the mass transfer of highly soluble gases is not limited in the usual conditions occurring in anaerobic fermentors (low-inten...

In attempts to improve the metabolic efficiency in closed photosynthetic reactors, availability of light and CO(2) are often considered as limiting factors, as they are difficult to control in a culture. The carbon source is usually provided via bubbling of CO(2)-enriched air into the culture medium; however, this procedure is not particularly effective in terms of mass transfer. Besides, it le...
