air. Hopper- Hopper has attractive and good features as compared to the pick-up head. It has a smooth dumping system in it that collects junk from the ground. The main advantage of hopper over pick-up head is that it does not need any “telescoping hydraulic cylinders” (para.4.) which is used “for hoisting, hydraulically controlled door latch assemblies” (para.4.).

pure gas but hydraulics uses an incompressible liquid such as oil. The application started to grow due to a gradual shift towards automated machines and equipment. The introduction of pneumatics in manufacturing has introduced the cheaper mode of production in wide areas of application such as Packaging machinery, Bottle filling Industry, artificial heart, logic control systems and robotic materials handling devices etc. Due to several advantages, pneumatics is preferred over hydraulics. The coming

Firefighters are subjected to significant levels of physical exertion, exposure to higher tempera-ture environments, and smoke during the firefighting activities. The physical exertion includes the ability to carry heavy loads, for example oxygen tanks, removal of fallen building structures, rescue of a victim, etc. To be able to work in such inhospitable environments, firefighters wear a protective suit, which shields them from the high temperatures. However, the protective suit re-stricts the

the inner surface of the wick. Heat pipe characteristics are dependent upon size, shape, material construction, working fluid and heat transfer rate. The operational characteristic of a heat pipe is defined by heat boundaries, effective thermal conductivity and temperature difference. Nanofluids are used in heat pipes in order enhance the thermal efficiency of the heat pipe and they are evaluated by their effect on the thermal efficiency. The thermal efficiency represents the ratio of heat rejected

This work presents a system of a non-linear PDEs, which governing the MHD flow of a Homann nanofluid with heat and mass transfer through a porous medium. The problem is solved numerically by making use of the finite difference method. The formulas of the velocity components, temperature and concentration are obtained as functions of the problem physical parameters. The effects of these parameters on the solutions are illustrated numerically and graphically through a set of figures to reinforce the

Background: Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat energy in a material due to the temperature gradient. It always takes

Constructal optimization of water and nano fluid flow for micro channel heat sinks with rectangular cross-section Abstract In this paper, three-dimensional water and Al2O3-water nano fluid flow and heat transfer is optimized geometrically using constructal theory. A numerical code based on the finite volume method and SIMPLER algorithm is developed to solve the governing equations. The code is carefully validated by comparing numerical predictions with experimental data. In this study we consider

Where, n - number of fins ηf - fin efficiency (dimensionless) hf - convection coefficient of the fin (m2K) Wf -fin Width (m) tf - fin thickness (m) Lf - fin height (m) k - thermal conductivity of the fin martial (m.K) tb - thickness of the base (m) Ab - area of the base (m2) If these equations are observed closely, for the reduction of thermal resistance of a heatsink, “Ab” base of the heatsink, should be increased and surface area

Introduction Ultrasound is acoustic energy with a frequency at about 20kHz which is above the capability of human hearing. It is more commonly used in the medical field than food industry. In the medical field, the most significant usage of ultrasound is in sonographic scanners. As these scanners work at 2-18MHz, it produces smaller wavelength which is able to make sonogram of smaller details. As such, ultrasound sound based imaging technique is used to visualize body structures and tissues (Carovac

From the table four appropriate simple tests can be conducted in order to determine the structure type and identify the four white powders. This includes conducting tests of melting point, flame color, solubility and the conductivity in water (H20). The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which the material changes from a solid to a liquid state. The determination of melting points is a form of identification and test method for organic substance. The melting point is an easy way measure
