I, Bedok South Road, Singapore 1646 This study attempts to qualitatively quanti:(y the thermal design aspects of the suction tube of a hermetic refrigeration compressor with high shell pressure configuration. The effects on heat transfer and fluid flow which affect the design dimensions and material selection of the suction tube will be shown and discussed. Results obtained suggested that the t...

Broadband noise produced by the trailing-edge of a controlled diffusion (CD) airfoil is directly simulated using a Lattice-Boltzmann method (PowerFlow) which resolves both the aerodynamic and acoustic field around the airfoil. A proper DNS resolution is achieved in the vicinity of the airfoil for quasi-2D slice of the mock-up. Two numerical setups of the anechoic open-jet facility where both ae...

The purpose of this study is to discuss the impact fatigue failure mechanism of a suction valve that involves the fracture with fragments torn off from the edge or surface. The shape and dimensions of the test specimen and stopper were made the same as those of the suction valve and stopper in an actual compressor. The specimen was operated by short-duration compressed air pulses, and struck ag...

From an engineering standpoint, both the skin and subcutaneous tissue act as interconnected load-transmitting structures. They are subject to a variety of intrinsic and environmental influences. Changes in the cutaneous viscoelasticity represent an important aspect in a series of skin conditions. The aim of this work was to explore the methodology of biomechanical measurements in order to bette...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate an approach to induced abortions during early pregnancies that controls the suction pressure and restricts the duration of the procedure. METHODS Three hundred patients programmed for induced early pregnancy abortions, hospitalized in the Shandong Provincial Maternity & Child-care Hospital from October 2013 to October 2015, were enrolled. Patients were randomly...

The combined effect of magnetic field, thermal radiation and local suction on the steady turbulent compressible boundary layer flow with adverse pressure gradient is numerically studied. The magnetic field is constant and applied transversely to the direction of the flow. The fluid is subjected to a localized suction and is considered as a radiative optically thin gray fluid. The Reynolds Avera...

PURPOSE The age-old practice of closed suction drain following orthopedic procedures has been challenged since past few decades. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of closed suction drain after total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty patients (135 knees) with primary Total Knee Arthroplasty were divided into a study group (no drain) and a control group (drain us...

abstract background: accumulation of secretions in the airways of patients with an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation will have serious consequences. one of the most common methods of airway clearance is endotracheal suctioning. in order to facilitate discharge of airway secretion resulting in promotion of gas exchange, chest physiotherapy techniques can be used at the time of expirat...

This paper numerically investigates the effectiveness of the control of steady suction on a stationary circular cylinder with several isolated suction holes on the surface at a subcritical Reynolds number. The control effectiveness as a function of the azimuthal position, spanwise spacing and suction flow rate of the suction holes on the control of the aerodynamic forces on the cylinder and the...
