A new large-volume air sampler called the "simple liquid scrubber" is described. It can recover a high percentage of microorganisms from large volumes of air, up to 950 liters/min, and concentrate them into a small volume of liquid at a ratio of about 400,000 to 1. The principle of operation of the scrubber is based on the production of a fine mist in a rapidly moving airstream with ultimate co...

environmental degradation and economic growth are two important proofs in sustainable developmentwhich are followed by steel industry. in this case, energy and environmental damages as sustainabilitypatterns of environment have been investigated in three different dust collectors to select the mostenvironmentally suitable dust collector for electric furnace. in this article, the consumption amo...

BACKGROUND The factors that influence nocturnal compliance among patients prescribed low flow oxygen therapy were determined and tolerance of nasal cannulae and Venturi face masks compared. METHODS Two studies were performed: (1) a prospective study of 99 hospitalised patients prescribed low flow oxygen therapy, 49 on nasal cannulae and 50 on Venturi face mask; and (2) a prospective study of ...

Abstract:-The FSAE guidelines state that it is mandatory for each and every car participating in the said event to have a single circular 20mm restrictor in the intake system. All the air flowing to the engine must pass through this restrictor. Conventionally, a Venturi Nozzle is used as a restrictor. In our research, we have proposed two Nozzles: De-Laval Nozzle and Bell Nozzle as an alternati...

in this study, a numerical simulation using the cfd software, fluent, has been conducted to examine the effect of various shapes of the venturi component sections in order to find the optimum venturi specifications to increase the egr rate with minimum pressure loss at the part load operation range. the cfd results reveal that the venturi should be precisely optimized to introduce the required ...

Monitoring the flow rate out of the well is critical for good control of the downhole pressure in drilling operations. In this feasibility study, we explore the possibility of using a Venturi flume to provide a cost-effective measurement of the flow rate, with improved accuracy compared to conventional methods. A Venturi flume has been simulated both using CFD and a simplified 1D model. By prop...

A majority of continuous mining machines employ a water spray system and a machine mounted flooded-bed scrubber to suppress and capture dust during coal mining. These machine mounted dust control systems must be designed to function within the localized face ventilation system at the mining section to control both dust and methane. Spray systems can impede or improve the scrubber effectiveness ...

Brick manufacturing industries are challenged to comply with clean air mandates. Dry air scrubbers have been used to remove acid gases from the exhaust air from brick manufacturing plants. The use of dry air scrubbers results in the production of large quantities of an alkaline powder by-product. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential of using dairy lagoon sludge stabil...

Objective: To evaluate the use of an adjustable venturi device with standard wall oxygen supply to deliver nasal high flow oxygen. Design: We set up a circuit using a standard 15 L/ min oxygen rotameter connected to a wall outlet, 2 m standard oxygen tubing, an adjustable venturi device, humidification chamber and nasal high flow circuit and cannulae. Delivered FiO2 and total gas flow rates wer...
