An experimental study of heat transfer characteristics with and without insert was found using water –water system on 1-2 pass shell and tube heat exchanger. Experimental results such as exchanger effectiveness, overall heat transfer coefficient were calculated using with and without insert. There is improvement in overall heat coefficient, efficiency in using twisted tape. In all the process i...

The HCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchanger is quiescent in the unfertilized mouse egg but is highly active in regulating intracellular pH in the early embryo and required for normal development. We show here that the HCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchanger is active in first meiotic prophase (GV) oocyte but inactivated during meiotic metaphase before the MI to MII transition. Reactivation does not occur until the activat...

Economic optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) is presented in this paper. To increase the rate of heat transfer, copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticle is added into the tube side fluid and their optimum results are compared with the case of without additive nanoparticle. Total annual cost (TAC) is selected as fitness function and nine decision variables related to the heat exchanger p...

The Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein which regulates intracellular pH in mammalian cells. Nine isoforms of the Na+/H+ exchanger have been identified. The isoform first discovered has two domains: an N-terminal membrane domain containing approximately 500 amino acids and a C-terminal regulatory domain containing approximately 315 amino acids....

-The conditions under which an exchanger phase will behave as an ideal mixture are established from thermodynamic principles. It is shown that, if a stoichiometric cation-exchange reaction is reversible, the exchanger phase will exhibit ideal behavior if the Vanselow selectivity coefficient is independent of the exchanger composition. This criterion is applied to some recently published data fo...

This paper shows the research work on heat exchanger using nano fluid. In this paper we are using compact heat exchanger as heat transferring device while Al2O3 as a nano fluid. The effect of the nano fluids on compact heat exchanger is analyzed by using ε –NTU rating numerical method on turbo-charged diesel engine of type TBD 232V-12 cross flow compact heat exchanger radiator with unmixed flui...

Because the boiler is developed to the trend of large size, high temperature and high pressure, so the requirement of water quality for the boiler makeup water is higher and higher, and that needs to almost get rid of all salts in the water. So anion-cation exchange technology has been developed quickly. For example, use the H cation exchanger to exchange various cations in the water and give o...

BACKGROUND A nasogastric tube (NGT) is commonly inserted into patients undergoing abdominal surgery to decompress the stomach during or after surgery. However, for anatomic reasons, the insertion of NGTs into anesthetized and intubated patients may be challenging. We hypothesized that the use of a tube exchanger for NGT insertion could increase the success rate and reduce complications. METHO...

Heat exchanger networks are widely employed in the chemical processing industries to recover energy, resulting in reduced operating costs. Several methodologies can be found in the literature for the design of heat exchanger networks. Typical criteria are maximum energy recovery and minimum heat transfer area. However, the heat integration of process streams can lead to process structures that ...

The widely accepted model to explain the positive inotropic effect of cardiac glycosides invokes altered Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity secondary to Na+ pump inhibition. However, proof of this model is lacking and alternative mechanisms have been proposed. We directly tested the role of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger in the action of the glycoside ouabain using Na+-Ca2+ exchanger knockout mice. Ablation of...
