Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep-Fatigue Crack Growth Interaction in Nickel Base Supper AlloyF. DjavanroodiMost engineering components which operate at elevated temperatures are subjected to non-steady loading during service. This paper describes the current fracture mechanics concepts that are employed to predict cracking of Nickel base supper alloy materials at high temperatures under low and high frequency cyclic loading. A model for predicting creep crack growth in terms of C* and the creep uniaxial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pulsating Circular Hot Air Jet Frequencies on Local and Average Nusselt NumberRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffThe study was carried out to determine the effect of pulsating frequencies on the local and average heat transfer characteristic of a heated circular air jet. The velocity profile of a heated circular pulsating air jet was measured in the first part of the study. The same set-up was used to measure the heat flux of the pulsating jet impinging … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Computing Changing the Traditional Ways of Organizing the Construction CompanyNataša Šuman, Mirko PšunderThe focus of this paper is to represent some important mobile computing potential which help tackle project collaboration and information dissemination problems. Especially in the construction industry where workers have no steady working places mobile computing is shown as a chance for optimising the traditional ways of organizing Construction Company. Special attention is given to the description of changing the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution For Frank-Kamenetskii And Activation Energy Parameters in Reactive-Diffusive Equation with Variable One-Exponential FactorO. K. Koriko, A. J. OmowayeIn this study, we considered a steady state, exothermic chemical reaction, taking the diffusion of the reactant into account and assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence with variable pre-exponent factor. Numerical solution is constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using finite difference scheme .The effect of Frank-Kamenetskii, activation energy parameter and pre-exponent factor on the temperature were also examined, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonparametric Analysis on System Availability: Confidence Bound and Power FunctionJau-Chuan Ke, Yunn-Kuang ChuIn this study we consider the steady-state availability, denoted A, of a system with distribution-free failure and repair time. In particular, we are interested in constructing a lower confidence bound and a testing framework for A. We first show that the natural estimator  of A, defined as the ratio of the failure time sample mean to the sum of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing on the Biological Degradation of Toluene under Aerobic ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, K. MartinellThe effectiveness of in-vessel bioremediation in reducing the concentration of toluene in contaminated soil under continuous and intermittent mixing conditions using invessel composting system. The results showed that there was a startup period (60 h) during which the average temperature rose from 21 to 32 and 40°C (and then remained constant) for the bioreactors with continuous and intermittent mixing, respectively. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Cross and Single Sided Naturally Ventilated Rooms Using CFDK. Visagavel, P. S.S. SrinivasanNatural ventilation contributes to the improvement of thermal comfort and quality conditions of the internal air, while at the same time it is recognized as a very efficient technique that, when applied properly. The present project refers to the numerical prediction of air velocities in cross and single-sided naturally ventilated rooms, which are considered along with atmospheric zone. Continuity and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-Safety Technology in Production of Bovine Herpesvirus Type 5 (BoHV-5) Using an Alternative Serum-Free MediumTereza C. Cardoso, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Clarice W. ArnsThe detection and growth of bovine herpes virus type 5 (BoHV-5) was evaluated in three different media without foetal bovine serum or animal protein by infecting three different cell lines. The OPTI-PRO, VP-SFM and RPMI 1640 media were supplemented by L-glutamine, antibiotics added by 5µg of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and used to adapt CER, MDBK and CRIB cells in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on the Influence of Various Blade Outlet Angles in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous FluidsM.H.S. Fard, F.A. BoyaghchiIn this study the centrifugal pump performances with different blade outlet angles are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this study shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flows inside the centrifugal pump with different blade outlet angles. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Thermal Explosion of Sensitized Reaction with Variable Heat LossK.S. Adegbie, F.I. AlaoThis study discusses the influence of heat loss on the critical ignition temperature and Frank-Kamenetskii parameter of a non-linear ordinary differential equation arising in thermal sensitized reaction. The reaction obeys the Arrhenius expression with temperature dependent pre-exponential factor, taking heat exchange between the reacting material and its surrounding into account. The consequences of heat loss are explored within the framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
