The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of three significant parameters, namely, swirl flow, loading height, and semi-confined combustion flame, on thermal efficiency andCOemissions of a swirl flow gas burner. We focus particularly on the effects of swirl angle and inclination angle on the performance of the swirl flow burner. The results showed that the swirl flow burner yields higher thermal efficiency and emits lowerCOconcentration than those of the conventional radial flow burner. A greater swirl angle results in higher thermal efficiency andCOemission. With increasing loading height, the thermal efficiency increases but theCOemission decreases. For a lower loading height (2 or 3 cm), the highest efficiency occurs at the inclination angle 15°. On the other hand, at a higher loading height, 4 cm, thermal efficiency increases with the inclination angle. Moreover, the addition of a shield can achieve a great increase in thermal efficiency, about 4-5%, and a decrease inCOemissions for the same burner (swirl flow or radial flow).

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the production of CO-NO-HC emissions while varying the swirl angle of curve vane radial swirler. Swirling flow generates central recirculation region (CRZ) which is necessary for flame stability and enhances fuel air mixing. Therefore designing an appropriate air swirler is a challenge to produce stable, efficient and low emission combustion inside burner system. Four radial curved vane swirlers with 30o, 40o, 50o and 60o vane angles corresponding to swirl numbers of 0.366, 0.630, 0.978 and 1.427 respectively were used in this experiment to measure the vane angles effect on emission production in the combustion chamber. Emission measurements were conducted at 5 axial distances from the burner throat, and at 5 locations along the radius starting the central axis at each section. It was found that at the core near the throat, CO and HC concentrations are low due to high available O2 and high fuel mixing rate producing efficient combustion. This is due to the high shear region created the high swirl flow.

Restrictions of emissions for civil aircraft engines, on the one hand, and the need in increasing the engine efficiency, on the other hand, cause difficulties during development of low-emission combustors for such engines.

Brushstrokes are viewed as the artist’s “handwriting” in a painting. In many applications such as style learning and transfer, mimicking painting, and painting authentication, it is highly desired to quantitatively and accurately identify brushstroke characteristics from old masters’ pieces using computer programs. However, due to the nature of hundreds or thousands of intermingling brushstrokes in the painting, it still remains challenging. This article proposes an efficient algorithm for brush Stroke extraction based on a Deep neural network, i.e., DStroke. Compared to the state-of-the-art research, the main merit of the proposed DStroke is to automatically and rapidly extract brushstrokes from a painting without manual annotation, while accurately approximating the real brushstrokes with high reliability. Herein, recovering the faithful soft transitions between brushstrokes is often ignored by the other methods. In fact, the details of brushstrokes in a master piece of painting (e.g., shapes, colors, texture, overlaps) are highly desired by artists since they hold promise to enhance and extend the artists’ powers, just like microscopes extend biologists’ powers. To demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed DStroke, we perform it on a set of real scans of paintings and a set of synthetic paintings, respectively. Experiments show that the proposed DStroke is noticeably faster and more accurate at identifying and extracting brushstrokes, outperforming the other methods.

This study aims to investigate the influence of inclination angle and concentration of nanoparticles on the improvement in heat pipe thermal efficiency. Spherical shaped, 40 nm size CuO nanoparticles are used in this study and its physical and thermal chracteristics are investigated. The results are compared with a heat pipe using DI water at horizontal position.The thermal efficiency is improved by increasing the tilt angle and mass of particles dispersed in DI water. The improvement in thermal efficiency obtained are 20.59, 35.92 and 32.57% respectively for 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt% of CuO nanofluids and 60° inclination angle.

Extension of the time-marching computations of flows in 2-D blade cascades to the case of cascades with variable radius and stream tube thickness. One of the specific cases analyzed is that of purely radial cascades. Direct and inverse calculations are made, in non-viscous subsonic or supersonic flows, with or without shock waves. Examples of the design of high efficiency airfoil optimization for radial flow compressor rotors or Stators or inward flow turbine inlet guide vanes are presented.

Background/Aims: Severe metabolic acidosis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an important and yet unresolved issue. The potential use of hemodialysis for severe metabolic acidosis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation was investigated. Methods: Acute hemodialyses between January 2012 and April 2017 were reviewed for patients with concomitant hemodialysis and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In addition, MEDLINE was searched for similar reports. Data were extracted from hospital records. Results: Two patients (36M, 70F) were found to study, without similar reports in MEDLINE. Cardiac arrests (in-hospital) occurred due to severe metabolic acidosis in both patients (due to ethylene glycol and metformin intoxications, respectively). Return of spontaneous circulation could not be obtained within the first 28 and 30 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation only, whereas both patients had return of spontaneous circulation following at least 45 min of concomitant hemodialysis and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. One patient (70F) was discharged with good neurological outcome, but the other died. Conclusion: The addition of high-efficiency hemodialysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may contribute to the return of spontaneous circulation in patients with severe metabolic acidosis due to intoxication.
