Abstract: The measurement of in-cylinder pressure during operation in reciprocating compressors is usually done in a destructive test in which a small bore is machined in the side of the cylinder.

Abstract: The cylinder is an important component of reciprocating compressor, and the pressure loss of the internal flow field influences directly the energy efficiency of the compressor. Based on CFD ...

Heart valves keep blood flowing in the right direction between the heart's four chambers. Mechanical valves last longer than bioprosthetic valves but require lifelong blood thinners. Most of the time, ...

After getting a mechanical heart valve, you need to take blood thinners to prevent clots. People with mechanical valves usually take warfarin, which can cause bleeding, so it's important to monitor ...
