Abstract: Patient transfer, such as lifting and moving a bedridden patient from a bed to a wheelchair or a pedestal pan, is one of the most physically challenging tasks in nursing care. Although many transfer devices have been ...

Abstract: In a cover-plate system, rotating receiver hole is an important component, because its structure and characteristics directly influence the aerodynamic loss and cooling performance in the preswirl system. A new type of ...

Abstract: This paper considers three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural modeling of brush seals, and investigates the effects of inlet swirl on the bristle pack. The model couples aerodynamic forces ...

Abstract: As performance improvements of compressors become more difficult to obtain, the optimization of stator well structure to control the reverse leakage flow is a more important research subject. Normally, the stator well can ...
