In Vitro Surfactant and Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Deposition in a Neonatal Physical Model of the Upper Conducting Airways
(Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)
Objective: Aerosol delivery holds potential to release surfactant or perfluorocarbon (PFC) to the lungs of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome with minimal airway manipulation. Nevertheless, lung deposition in ...
Operation strategies guideline for packed bed thermal energy storage systems
(Wiley, 2018-10-14)
Packed bed thermal energy storage (TES) systems have been identified in the last years as one of the most promising TES alternatives in terms of thermal efficiency and economic viability. The relative simplicity of this ...
Experimental and Numerical Modeling of Aerosol Delivery for Preterm Infants
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive ...
Experimental Evaluation of Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Generation with Two Novel Nebulizer Prototypes
(MDPI, 2019-01-05)
The potential of non-invasive ventilation procedures and new minimally invasive techniques has resulted in the research of alternative approaches as the aerosolization for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome ...
Experiments on a lab scale TES unit using eutectic metal alloy as PCM
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
The behavior of a magnesium and zinc eutectic metal alloy used as thermal energy storage (TES) material is tested in a
laboratory scale TES unit. The TES unit consists of two concentric tubes with the central tube surrounded ...
Latitude error in compass deviation: mathematical method to determine the latitude error in magnetic compass deviation
(Gdansk University of Technology, 2014-10)
This article aims to provide the seafarer with a tool to calculate the deviation for a righted ship in any geographical
position using only the information available on board. In this way the accidental errors in the ...
