In this paper, analysis of critical fluid velocity and heat transfer in the nanocomposite pipes conveying nanofluid is presented. The pipe is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the fluid is mixed by $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles. The material properties of the nanocomposite pipe and nanofluid are considered temperature-dependent and the structure is subjected to magnetic field. The forces of fluid viscosity and turbulent pressure are obtained using momentum equations of fluid. Based on energy balance, the convection of inner and outer fluids, conduction of pipe and heat generation are considered. For mathematical modeling of the nanocomposite pipes, the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and energy method are used. Utilizing the Lagrange method, the coupled pipe-nanofluid motion equations are derived. Applying a semi-analytical method, the motion equations are solved for obtaining the critical fluid velocity and critical Reynolds and Nusselt numbers. The effects of CNTs volume percent, $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles volume percent, length to radius ratio of the pipe and shell surface roughness were shown on the critical fluid velocity, critical Reynolds and Nusselt numbers. The results are validated with other published work which shows the accuracy of obtained results of this work. Numerical results indicate that for heat generation of $Q=10MW/m^3$, adding 6% $AL_2O_3$ nanoparticles to the fluid increases 20% the critical fluid velocity and 15% the Nusselt number which can be useful for heat exchangers.

Torque tubes in High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) motor transfer torque from superconducting field winding rotor to the room temperature shaft. It should have minimum heat conduction property for minimizing the load on cryo-refrigerator. Generally, these torque tubes are made with stainless steel material because of high strength, very low outgassing and low thermal contraction properties at cryogenic temperatures and vacuum conditions. With recent developments in composite materials, these torque tubes could be made of composites such as Kevlar and S-Glass, which have the required properties like high strength and low thermal conductivity at cryogenic temperatures, but with a reduced weight. Development and testing of torque tubes made of these composites for HTS motor are taken up at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Hyderabad in collaboration with Central Institute of Plastics and Engineering Technology (CIPET), Chennai and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. As these materials are subjected to vacuum, it is important to measure their outgassing rates under vacuum conditions before manufacturing prototype torque tubes. The present study focusses on the outgassing characteristics of Kevlar and S-Glass, using an Outgassing Measurement System (OMS), developed at IIT Kharagpur. The OMS facility works under vacuum environment, in which the test samples are exposed to vacuum conditions over a sufficient period of time. The outgassing measurements for the composite samples were obtained using pressure-rise technique. These studies are useful to quantify the outgassing rate of composite materials under vacuum conditions and to suggest them for manufacturing composite torque tubes used in HTS motors.

Purpose: Increased bone regeneration has been achieved through the use of stem cells in combination with graft material. However, the survival of transplanted stem cells remains a major concern. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at an early time point (24 hours) based on the type and form of the scaffold used, including type I collagen membrane and synthetic bone. Methods: The stem cells were obtained from the periosteum of the otherwise healthy dental patients. Four symmetrical circular defects measuring 6 mm in diameter were made in New Zealand white rabbits using a trephine drill. The defects were grafted with 1) synthetic bone (${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite [${\beta}-TCP/HA$]) and $1{\times}10^5MSCs$, 2) collagen membrane and $1{\times}10^5MSCs$, 3) ${\beta}-TCP/HA+collagen$ membrane and $1{\times}10^5MSCs$, or 4) ${\beta}-TCP/HA$, a chipped collagen membrane and $1{\times}10^5MSCs$. Cellular viability and the cell migration rate were analyzed. Results: Cells were easily separated from the collagen membrane, but not from synthetic bone. The number of stem cells attached to synthetic bone in groups 1, 3, and 4 seemed to be similar. Cellular viability in group 2 was significantly higher than in the other groups (P<0.05). The cell migration rate was highest in group 2, but this difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions: This study showed that stem cells can be applied when a membrane is used as a scaffold under no or minimal pressure. When space maintenance is needed, stem cells can be loaded onto synthetic bone with a chipped membrane to enhance the survival rate.

Concrete pipelines are the most efficient and safe means for gas and oil transportation over a long distance. The use of nano materials and nono-engineering can be considered for enhancing concrete pipelines properties. the tests show that SiO2 nanoparticles can improve the mechanical behavior of concrete. Moreover, severe hazard for pipelines is seismic ground motion. Over the years, scientists have attempted to understand pipe behavior against earthquake most frequently via numerical modeling and simulation. Therefore, in this paper, the dynamic response of underwater nanocomposite submerged pipeline conveying fluid is studied. The structure is subjected to the dynamic loads caused by earthquake and the governing equations of the system are derived using mathematical model via Classic shell theory and Hamilton's principle. Navier-Stokes equation is employed to calculate the force due to the fluid in the pipe. As well, the effect of external fluid is modeled with an external force. Mori-Tanaka approach is used to estimate the equivalent material properties of the nanocomposite. 1978 Tabas earthquake in Iran is considered for modelling seismic load. The dynamic displacement of the structure is extracted using differential quadrature method (DQM) and Newmark method. The effects of different parameters such as SiO2 nanoparticles volume percent, boundary conditions, thickness to radius ratios, length to radius ratios, internal and external fluid pressure and earthquake intensity are discussed on the seismic response of the structure. From results obtained in this paper, it can be found that the dynamic response of the pipe is increased in the presence of internal and external fluid. Furthermore, the use of SiO2 nanoparticles in concrete pipeline reduces the displacement of the structure during an earthquake.

Plywood is a laminated wood material where alternating layers are perpendicular to each other. It is used in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier for an insulation system because it has excellent durability, a light weight, and high stiffness. An LNG cargo containment system (LNG CCS) is subjected to loads from gravity, sloshing impact, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal expansion. Shear forces are applied to an LNG CCS locally by these loads. For these reasons, the materials in an LNG CCS must have good mechanical performance. This study evaluated the shear behavior of plywood. This evaluation was conducted from room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) to cryogenic temperature ($-163^{\circ}C$), which is the actual operating environment of an LNG storage tank. Based on the plywood used in an LNG storage tank, a shear test was conducted on specimens with thicknesses of 9 mm and 12 mm. Analyses were performed on how the temperature and thickness of the plywood affected the shear strength. Regardless of the thickness, the strength increased as the temperature decreased. The 9 mm thick plywood had greater strength than the 12 mm thick specimen, and this tendency became clearer as the temperature decreased.

Monochromatic amber phosphor in glasses (PiGs) for automotive LED applications were fabricated with $YAG:Ce^{3+}$, $CaAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors and Pb-free silicate glass. After synthesis and thickness-thinning process, PiGs were mounted on high-power blue LED to make monochromatic amber LEDs. PiGs were simple mixtures of 566 nm yellow YAG, 615 nm red $CaAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor and transparent glass frit. The powders were uniaxially pressed and treated again through CIP (cold isostatic pressing) at 200 MPa for 20 min to increase packing density. After conventional thermal treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, PiGs were applied by using GPS (gas pressure sintering) to obtain a fully dense PiG plate. As the phosphor content increased, the density of the sintered body decreased and PiGs containing 30 wt% phosphor had full sintered density. Changes in photoluminescence spectra and color coordination were investigated by varying the ratio of $YAG/CaAlSiN_3$ and the thickness of the plates. Considering the optical spectrum and color coordinates, PiG plates with $240{\mu}m$ thickness showed a color purity of 98% and a wavelength of about 605 nm. Plates exhibit suitable optical characteristics as amber light-converting material for automotive LED applications.

자동차에 사용되는 전동식 워터펌프에 적용되는 모터는 CANNED TYPE의 모터 구조이다. 모터의 구동 부품인 로터는 플라스틱 사출물의 격벽 구조 내에 위치하며, 부동액에 침수되어 있는 상태로 회전을 하게 된다. 플라스틱 사출물 격벽 구조 외부에 Stator가 위치되어 Rotor가 회전이 가능하도록 한다. Rotor의 구성은 Magnet와 Core, Shaft로 구성되며, Magnet와 Core의 경우 부품 특성상 수분 침투에 부식되는 재질이기 때문에 부품의 기밀 유지는 매우 중요하다. 차량에 장착된 상태에서는 120도의 환경조건에서 구동이 가능하여야 하며, 내부압력이 1 Bar 이상의 압력에도 누수가 없어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이 조건을 만족하여 개발된 전동식 워터펌프의 불량을 검사하기 위하여 헬륨을 이용한 Leak 검사 자동화 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

인화성 물질을 보유하고 있는 시설물에서 인화성 물질이 유출되어 형성된 증기운의 폭발이 국내와 해외에서 자주 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 증기운 폭발에 따른 폭풍 효과를 모사하기 위해서 TNT 등가법과 다중에너지법을 적용하였다. TNT 등가법은 단순하고 직접적인 적용이 가능하기 때문에 증기운 폭발을 해석하기 위해서 지금까지 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 TNT 등가법은 증기운 폭발로부터 발생하는 연소에너지와 이를 TNT 등가량으로 환산하는데 필요한 적절한 상관관계를 선택하는 것이 어렵다는 근본적인 단점을 가지고 있다. 다중에너지법에서는 증기운 폭발의 강도가 증기운이 확산되는 지역에서의 확산 경로의 레이아웃에 따라 달라진다고 가정한다. 즉 증기운의 잠재적 폭발력은 혼잡지역의 혼잡정도에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 TNT 등가법과 다중에너지법의 적용성을 평가하기 위해서 Flixborough 폭발사고를 사례연구로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 TNT 등가계수와 폭발강도계수를 현장상황에 맞게 적절히 선택하는 경우 TNT 등가법과 다중에너지법은 증기운 폭발 사고를 분석하는데 적합할 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of absorbable suture on surgically-induced corneal astigmatism in 3.0-mm sclera tunnel cataract surgeries. Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery using a 3.0-mm sclera tunnel incision made by a single surgeon were reviewed. Uncorrected distant visual acuity, corneal astigmatism and surgically-induced astigmatism were measured in 56 patients' eyes that underwent sclera tunnel cataract surgery with absorbable sutures (sutured group) and in 23 patients' eyes without sutures (unsutured group). Uncorrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination, and automated keratometry were evaluated preoperatively and at 3 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after cataract operation. Results: There were no significant differences in preoperative average uncorrected distant visual acuity of the two groups (sutured group: $0.79{\pm}0.64$, unsutured group: $0.68{\pm}0.72$, P = 0.145). Corneal astigmatism measured using keratometry in the sutured and unsutured group at postoperative day 3 were $2.27{\pm}2.12D$ versus $0.83{\pm}0.55D$ at (P < 0.001), a difference which had disappeared after 4 weeks. Surgically induced astigmatism using the Holladay and Vector methods showed similar outcomes, suggesting that the sutured group exhibited higher astigmatism compared with the unsutured group until 2 weeks post-surgery. Conclusions: TPatients undergoing scleral tunnel cataract surgery with absorbable sutures have greater surgically induced astigmatism, especially in the early postoperative period, compared with those without sutures. However, this surgically induced astigmatism due to absorbable sutures in scleral tunnel cataract surgery is temporary and disappears at 4 weeks post-surgery.
