Abstract: Preliminary experimental results of forced convection by octadecane paraffin (encapsulating phase-change material (EPCM)) particles, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic particles, or by clear (of ...

Abstract: The effects of blood velocity on gas transport within the alveolar region of lungs, and on the lung diffusing capacity DL have for many years been regarded as negligible. The present work ...

Abstract: In this note we present the application of fractional calculus, or the calculus of arbitrary (noninteger) differentiation, to the solution of time-dependent, viscous-diffusion fluid mechanics ...

Abstract: The necessity for fundamental investigations in forced convection through porous media by fluids with temperature-dependent viscosity cannot be overstated once we take into account the lack of ...

Abstract: A novel macroscopic gas transport model, derived from fundamental engineering principles, is used to simulate the three-dimensional, unsteady respiration process within the alveolar region of the ...
