In this work, an inverse design algorithm called Ball-Spine (BSA) is developed as a quasi-3D method and applied to the meridional plane of a centrifugal pump impeller in an effort to improve its performance. In this method, ...

In this problem, we present a theoretical study for the slip effects on the two-dimensional flow of a nano liquid in a semi-porous channel designed by two long rectangular plates having porous media. One of the channel ...

Soret and Dufour effects on MHD flow of Williamson fluid between two rotating disks are examined. Impacts of stratification, viscous dissipation and activation energy are also considered. Bejan number and entropy generation ...

This paper investigates the strength and microstructure of dissimilar weld joints between Hastelloy X, which is a nickel-based superalloy, and austenitic stainless steel 304L. Nd-YAG solid-state pulsed laser is used to ...

In this study, we present an evaluation of the (PM10) and carbon monoxide (CO) particulate matter exposure level originated from the four power plants in the area using Air Pollution Dispersion Model. Combined use of AREMOD ...

In this paper, dynamic behavior of a vapor bubble inside a narrow channel filled with a viscous liquid has been studied numerically. The boundary integral equation method (BIEM) and the procedure of viscous correction of ...

Particulate erosion is a major concern in slurry handling unit of a thermal power plant. The pipe bends are the most erosion affected element of a pipeline unit thus, a cost-effective method to reduce pipeline erosion is ...

This paper presents free vibration of the double-curved shells and panels with piezoelectric layers in a thermal environment. Vibration characteristics of elliptical, spherical, cycloidal, and toro circular shells of ...

Nowadays, Superelastic NiTi stent is used in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) because of its effects on minimizing such problems as low twistability, unsuitable dynamic behavior, and the shortage of radial mechanical strength. ...

The paper analyzes functional, structural and tribological parameters of kinematic pairs (joints) of the kinematic chain and manipulator drive mechanisms in hydraulic excavators. On the basis of the conducted analysis the ...

To realize objectives such as genome-based medicine, it is required to develop economical and fast methods for DNA sequencing at single-nucleotide resolution. In this paper a novel approach is developed to significantly ...

In this work, a comprehensive mathematical method is developed to model the flame propagation through organic particles with air as a two-phase mixture, considering random distribution and particles thermal resistance. For ...

Control of interaction between nanostructures and living cells is important for tissue engineering.The topography and hydrophilicity of nanotextured surfaces can provide information on the in vitro interactions ...
