Thermo-Fluid Characterization of Corrugated U-Tube Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger with Polymer Composite Tube Wall: A Combined CFD and Experimental Investigation
Abstract: Shell-and-tube heat exchangers built with metallic tubes work well thermally, but corrosion problems, extra weight, and the inability to adjust the wall’s thermal properties through material choice remain genuine engineering headaches, particularly for corrosive or weight-critical applications. Over the past few years there has been a fair amount of interest in replacing metal tubes with polymer composite alternatives, since blending thermally conductive fillers — graphite nanoplatelets, boron nitride platelets and …

Processing of Magnesium Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced with Graphene Nano Platelets through Vacuum Stir Casting and Investigating its Mechanical Behaviour
Abstract: AbstractThe application of metal matrix composites (MMCs) as structural engineering materials has received increasing attention in recent years. Their high strength and toughness at elevated temperatures coupled with low-density makes them suitable for use in applications where conventional engineering materials, such as steel are used. MMCs exhibit significantly higher stiffness and mechanical strength compared to matrix alloys, but often suffer from lower ductility and interior fracture toughness. MMCs have the …

Comparison of a Human Papillomavirus Test with the Hybrid Capture 2 and a Real-Time PCR Method for 18 High-Risk and Low-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infections in Women
Abstract: Squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs), which are a kind of cancer, and HUMAN papillomavirus (HPV) viral load have frequently been investigated as a risk factor in findings that were in dispute. These studies made use of several HPV viral quantitation assays [including the commercially available hybrid capture 2 (HC2) assays], which vary in their capacity to consider variations in cervical cell collection, linear dynamic range of viral load quantitation, and identified …
