Pressurized rock traps are constructed in many hydropower plants to stop sand and gravel from being transported through the turbines. typically located downstream end of unlined headrace tunnels, where tunnel itself may be one sediment sources. This state-of-the-art review presents an overview research on pressurized both publicly available sources unpublished Limited scientific literature exis...

one of the new research fields in plasticity is related to choosing a proper non-associated flow rule (nafr), instead of the associated one (afr), to predict the experimental results more accurately. the idea of the current research is derived from combining von mises and tresca criteria in the places of yield and plastic potential surfaces in rate-independent plasticity.  this idea is implemen...

This study designed an externally pressurized bearing and analyzed the rotordynamics of a turbo expander for hydrogen liquefaction plant. The expander, comprising turbine compressor wheel assembled to shaft, lowered temperature helium refrigerant. Its rated speed was 75,000 rpm, gas selected support rotor. Pressurized used as lubricant operation. To design rotor–bearing system, we conducted per...

Safety assessments and environmental impact statements for facilities require an estimation of airborne releases from accidents. Aerosols generated by accidents are being investigated to develop the source terms for these releases. One example of a severe accidental release event is a pressurized liquid release. Pressurized liquid release experiments performed in static air measured the mass ai...

We study the formation of localized structures formed by the point loading of an internally pressurized elastic shell. While unpressurized shells (such as a ping-pong ball) buckle into polygonal structures, we show that pressurized shells are subject to a wrinkling instability. We study wrinkling in depth, presenting scaling laws for the critical indentation at which wrinkling occurs and the nu...

The work in this paper aims to increase the maximum lift coefficient of airfoil by implementing co-flow jet concept on NACA 0018 and also investigate performance (CFJ) airfoil. To conduct numerical solution, RANS equations have been solved for 2D incompressible unsteady flow using Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. suction surface is modified placing injection slot near leading edge trailing ed...

Compartment syndrome is caused by any condition which increases interstitial pressure within a muscle compartment to the extent that blood flow is compromised. It is seen classically after trauma to an extremity with crush injury, vascular damage or subsequent tight bandaging. Its sequelae may include irreversible neural and muscular damage secondary to the ischaemic insult. Previously describe...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that increased flow through coronary arterioles increases endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) mRNA expression. Single porcine coronary arterioles (ID 100-160 μm; pressurized) were cannulated, perfused, and exposed to intraluminal flow sufficient to produce maximal flow-induced dilation of corona...
