Development of Software Packages for Computer Aided Design and Performance Analysis of Industrial Fractional Distillation Equipment
Abstract: This paper deals with improved CAD software packages that have been developed with the objective of improvising the existing conservative design of fractional distillation equipment. Since fractional distillation is extensively employed in petroleum refineries, distilleries and in a large number of chemical process industries, accurate design and optimised performance of these equipments are detrimental to the overall economy of these industries. Further, the efficient performance of the fractionators are dependent …

Can Screw-only fixations of ACPHT acetabular fractures enhance stability as the standard buttress plate fixation provides?
Abstract: Background: Of acetabular fractures, anterior column posterior hemi-transverse(ACPHT) fractures commonly occur after a fall onto the hip in elderly population. When displaced in these fractures, open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws is usually required to achieve good functional outcomes. The open procedures, however, involve high complication rates due to surgical invasion; therefore, percutaneous techniques by screw-only constructs have been advocated to minimize these complications. The purpose of …

Wave plate; what is the angle of its central curved segment which provides biomechanically optimal stability for femoral shaft fracture?:A 3-D Finite Analysis
Abstract: Even though intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture is the standard surgical treatment as it is in tibial fracture, plate fixation might be a choice when the fracture involves open growth plate, patients are of shorter stature or have narrow canals. In these cases, fixation techniques with plate and screws, for example, percutaneous procedures involving wave plate, are useful thanks to minimal invasion and preservation of biological environment surrounding the …

Comparison of Lateral and Medial Plate Fixations of Talar Neck Fracture: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Talar neck fractures are rare, but challenging injuries, because the bone has unique anatomy, and its blood supply makes it difficult to stabilize the fracture and is likely to cause posttraumatic or postoperative complications. Thanks to development of appropriately sized plates, outcomes of plate fixation of talar neck fractures have been improved compared with screw fixation. Although some studies have demonstrated no difference between screw only fixation and screw-plate …

Study of Heat Transfer in a Time Dependent Vertically Oscillating Micropolar Liquid
Abstract: AbstractThe study involves the vertical time periodic vibration of the system. This leads to the appearance of a modified gravity term in basic equation, collinear with actual gravity, in the form of a time-periodic field perturbation and is termed as gravity modulation or g-jitter in the literature. The aim of this study is to find the effect of small amplitude of gravity modulation on the onset of thermal convection between …

Controlling and Management of the MEMS IMU's temperature with a Peltier Plate
Abstract: Due to its small size, light weight, low consumption of electricity, and low cost, micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS, IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) have been increasingly popular in robotics, UAVs, and UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) in recent years. MEMS IMUs combine a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis magnetometer, thermometer, and other components into a single microchip; nevertheless, the accuracy of MEMS gyroscopes is sometimes poor, particularly when temperature is considered, and …

Mechanical Properties, Viscoelastic and Water Absorption Properties of Biocarbon-Reinforced Composites
Abstract: Biocarbon-reinforced polymer composites have emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional composites, combining environmental benefits with promising material properties. This study explores the effect of varying biocarbon content (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight) on the mechanical, viscoelastic, and water absorption properties of a polypropylene (PP) matrix. Tensile strength tests reveal that incorporating 10% biocarbon yields the highest strength at 35 MPa, attributed to enhanced interfacial bonding. However, at …

Finite Difference Analysis of Plane Couette Flow using MATLAB
Abstract: Internal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence, the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. An internal flow is constrained by the bounding walls, and the viscous effects will grow and meet and permeate the entire flow. Some examples of internal flows are: flow between two parallel horizontal plates, Couette flow, plane Poiseuille flow, flow through pipes, etc. In …
