The groundwater flow is accompanied by the electric field with potential called usually the streaming potential or the Self-Potential (SP) to be measured on the ground surface (e.g., Rizzo et al., 2004; Bolève et al., 2007; Jardani et al., 2009). We studied numerically the SP signals ... Read More

INTRODUCTION: Point-Of-Care (POC) and home care systems are of growing importance in biotechnological and medical applications [1]. These devices allow health monitoring directly at home or at the doctor’s office. Portability, low-cost, easy handling and compatibility with telemedicine ... Read More

Medical Cyclotrons are used in hospitals to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals. The nuclear reaction between the Cyclotron charged particles and a material takes place inside the so-called targets. In particular, gas target is used when a specific gas is bombarded with proton particles to ... Read More

In the molding industry, high productivity rate, low energy consumption, large 3D parts, and homogeneous temperature distribution are the main targets. The 3iTech® inductive technology developed by RocTool ensures both good temperature homogeneity and short heating time. Conventionally, ... Read More

The physical mechanisms that operate in gas injection are complex, since the bubble formation at submerged orifices involves a wide range of length and time scales, bubble coalescence occurs, rapid pressure variations around the gas bubble produce the wobbling of the bubble, as well as ...

Over the last years, the concrete technology has progressed in order to improve the quality of its use and mechanical performances. Despite the technical development known in the context of concrete, the esthetic aspect remains weakly treated. Among the esthetic problems, there is the ... Read More

In recent years the thermal behavior of electric machines is an attractive research topic. Due to the complexity of the problem, several approaches that exploit FEM analysis have been developed and presented in literature. In this research a 3D thermo-fluid dynamic simulation of an ... Read More

Studies of the liquid metal movement (hydrodynamic) in a real object (tundish) are substantially precluded due to the objective difficulties (high temperature and the size of metallurgical equipment), compared to their execution by the use of physical and numerical modeling. In presented ... Read More

Calculations were carried out for the water model of the investigated tundish, represented on a scale 1:3. Numerical calculations enable to estimate the fluid flow velocities, pahtlines and other parameters. Calculations were done for two different grids. Based on the results, the flow ... Read More

This paper presents the investigation into the phenomena during batch reactor vessel mixing comparing agitation equipment; the Rushton turbine and the Marine propeller; in the production of bioethanol by yeast fermentation. The key factors addressed in selecting equipment were fluid ... Read More
