RATIONALE The rapid screening of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by direct analysis has potential applications in the areas of food and flavour science. Currently, the technique of choice for VOC analysis is gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). However, the long chromatographic run times and elaborate sample preparation associated with this technique have led a movement towards direc...

A wet type filtered containment venting system of a nuclear power plant uses venturi scrubbers submerged in a water pool to enhance the efficiency of collecting particulate aerosols from a gas effluent discharged from a containment after severe accidents. This paper describes a comparative study of three typical one-dimensional semi-empirical models on their predictive capability for particle c...

The purpose of this paper is to find the optimal geometry of Venturi for the production of biodiesel by hydrodynamic cavitation. Intensive methods such as hydrodynamic cavitation eliminate the limitation of mass transfer in the transesterification reaction. In this paper, a venturi design was developed to create cavitation in biodiesel production. The most important property of ven...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study compared the rates of acute respiratory failure, reintubation, length of intensive care stay and mortality in patients in whom the non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) was applied instead of the routine venturi face mask (VM) application after a successful weaning. METHODS Following the approval of the hospital ethics committee, 62 patients who were ...

Various types of physical phenomena are experienced by the wind when it passes through a venturi tube system equipped with two open manometers filled water. Its theoretical studies lead to 3 equation speeds that unique. Experimental testing each type as measurement method is significant see suitability level concept fluid dynamics, precision level, and accuracy level. The research aims determin...
