Abstract: The system and method for determining physical stability of dispersed particles in flowing liquid suspensions is performed by passing a fluid with suspended particulates in a column of filter elements having progressively smaller porosities. The fluid is received by a fluid supply receptacle and then passed through the column of filter elements. The filter elements are arranged so that successive filters are downstream of each other, with successive filters having successively smaller porosities. The porosity of an initial filter element has a sufficiently large porosity to filter a largest particle size intended for detection, and a final filter element has at least a sufficiently small porosity to filter a smallest particle size intended for detection. This results in the successive filters separating successively smaller particles from the fluid. Average particle size and particle count are obtained by removing a mesh filter element and performing SEM analysis on the filtered particles.

Abstract: A multi-heat energy source core sample holder assembly for conducting experiment on a core sample includes a core sample holder, a flexible sleeve, and a multi-heat energy generation source arrangement. The core sample holder includes a cylindrical pressure chamber and a pair of disk-shaped flanges positioned along opposite ends of the cylindrical pressure chamber to accommodate at least one fluid injection port and at least one fluid discharge port. The flexible sleeve is arranged within and along the cylindrical pressure chamber to define one or more section(s) to hold the core sample. The energy generation source includes a wire member to be coiled along an internal wall of the flexible sleeve to be supplied with electric current in at least one of a Direct Current (DC) form to produce an electric resistance heating, or an Alternate Current (AC) form to produce an electromagnetic heating, singularly or in combination.

Abstract: The system for making suspensions includes a housing, with a platform mounted therein and a translating table slidably mounted on the platform for removably supporting a receptacle. A base fluid tank stores a base fluid, and a solid particle container stores solid particles. A rotating dispenser system is mounted within the housing, above the platform and the receptacle. The rotating dispenser includes a base fluid dispenser for dispensing a controlled mass of the base fluid into the receptacle, and a solid particle dispenser for dispensing a controlled mass of the solid particles into the receptacle. The base fluid dispenser is in communication with the base fluid tank, and the solid particle dispenser is in communication with the solid particle container. A mixer selectively and controllably mixes the controlled mass of the base fluid and the controlled mass of the solid particles in the receptacle to form the suspension.

Abstract: A ventilator includes at-least one air vessel, at-least one inflation bag, at-least one connecting member, a bag holder and at-least one controller member. The at-least one connecting member connects to the at-least one air vessel. The bag holder may hold the inflation bag. The at-least one controller member operates the at-least one inflation bag thereby changing size of the inflation bag to vary a tidal volume and an inspiration-expiration ratio of the ventilator. In another aspect, at-least one controller member is mounted on the bag holder. Further, the at-least one controller member slides within the bag holder to change the shape of the inflation bag to vary a tidal volume and an inspiration-expiration ratio of the ventilator.

Abstract: The air conditioning system with solar-powered subcooling system includes a main cooling system having an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve configured to operate in a conventional vapor compression refrigerant cycle. The subcooling system includes a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve, the compressor being powered by at least one rechargeable battery connected to a photovoltaic solar panel. The main system and the subcooling system are linked by a heat exchanger having a primary coil in the main system between the condenser and the expansion valve and a secondary coil in the subcooling system disposed between the expansion valve and the compressor. The main system and the subcooling system may use the same type of refrigerant, or different refrigerant types. The additional cooling provided to the refrigerant in the main system by subcooling increases the efficiency of the air conditioning system.

Abstract: The apparatus for measuring disentrainment rate of air includes a Confined Plunging Liquid Jet Reactor (CPLJR) having a downcomer column surrounding a liquid jet. The end of the downcomer column is partially immersed in a receiving liquid pool contained in a reservoir. A conical ring is placed in the downcomer column below the liquid jet, the ring bearing against the wall of the downcomer column and forming a seal to define a headspace in the column. A gas supply and first bubble meter are connected to the column above the conical ring to supply gas and measure total entrainment. A second bubble meter connected to the headspace between the ring and the receiving pool measures disentrainment, and a third bubble meter connected to headspace above the receiving pool outside the column measures net entrainment.

Abstract: The cooling system for patients with fever is a mechanical, fluid-based system for cooling patients suffering from fever. The cooling system for patients with fever includes a reservoir for containing a cooling fluid, which is maintained at a desired temperature. A temperature sensor is received in the reservoir. The temperature sensor is immersed in the cooling fluid for measuring the temperature thereof. A chiller is also received in the reservoir for selectively cooling the cooling fluid when the temperature thereof, measured by the temperature sensor, is above a pre-set temperature threshold. The reservoir communicates with a cooling pad, which is formed from a padded layer having at least one channel embedded therein. At least one pump and tubing is provided for circulating the cooling fluid through the reservoir and the cooling pad. In use, the cooling pad is applied to the skin of a patient with a fever.
