    The inappropriate drug use during the pregnancy may cause serious complications. However, the consumption of drugs during the pregnancy cannot be totally avoided because of the existing chronic illness that may require continuous treatment or the development of new medical conditions during pregnancy that require therapeutic intervention. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the awareness about the drug safety and medication use among the pregnant women of the Northern Border Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was carried out using a pretested and structured questionnaire among the pregnant women (N = 50) of the rural area, near Arar City and Rafha City, of the Northern Border Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The data obtained was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19. It was surprising to note that neither doctors nor the pharmacists provided full information about the medicine to more than 3/4th of the patients. This type of practice by the doctors and pharmacist may pose pregnancy related problems to the expecting mothers and may lead to serious consequences. There is an urgent need to take remedial actions regarding this issue by the concerned authorities of the Northen Border Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Keywords: Awareness, Safety, Drug, Pregnancy, Northern Border, Saudi Arabia

    Using ANN and combined capacitive sensors to predict the void fraction for a two-phase homogeneous fluid independent of the liquid phase type

    Get PDF
    Measuring the void fraction of different multiphase flows in various fields such as gas, oil, chemical, and petrochemical industries is very important. Various methods exist for this purpose. Among these methods, the capacitive sensor has been widely used. The thing that affects the performance of capacitance sensors is fluid properties. For instance, density, pressure, and temperature can cause vast errors in the measurement of the void fraction. A routine calibration, which is very grueling, is one approach to tackling this issue. In the present investigation, an artificial neural network (ANN) was modeled to measure the gas percentage of a two-phase flow regardless of the liquid phase type and changes, without having to recalibrate. For this goal, a new combined capacitance-based sensor was designed. This combined sensor was simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics software. Five different liquids were simulated: oil, gasoil, gasoline, crude oil, and water. To estimate the gas percentage of a homogeneous two-phase fluid with a distinct type of liquid, data obtained from COMSOL Multiphysics were used as input to train a multilayer perceptron network (MLP). The proposed neural network was modeled in MATLAB software. Using the new and accurate metering system, the proposed MLP model could predict the void fraction with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.919

    Correlations for total entropy generation and Bejan number for free convective heat transfer of an eco-friendly nanofluid in a rectangular enclosure under uniform magnetic field

    Get PDF
    In this paper, focusing on the study of entropy generation (EGN), the convection flow of an eco-friendly nanofluid (N-F) in a rectangular enclosure is studied numerically. The nanoparticles (N-Ps) used are silver N-P, which are obtained in an eco-friendly manner from natural materials. By suspending these N-Ps in an equal mixture of water and ethylene glycol (E-G), the N-F has been prepared. There are two constant-temperature triangular obstacles with height w and base H that are placed on the hot wall. There is a magnetic field (M-F) in the x-direction. To simulate the N-F flow, eco-friendly N-P relations are used, and the equations are solved using the volume control method and the SIMPLE algorithm. The variables include Rayleigh number (Ra), Hartmann number (Ha), H, W, and the volume fraction of silver N-Ps. The effect of these parameters is evaluated on the EGN and Bejan number (Be). Finally, a correlation is expressed for the EGN for a range of variables. The most important results of this paper demonstrate that the addition of silver eco-friendly N-Ps intensifies the EGN so that the addition of 3% of N-Ps enhances the EGN by 3.8%. An increment in the obstacle length reduces the Be barrier while increasing the Ha, which enhances the Be when the convection is strong. Increasing the height of the obstacle intensifies entropy generation.Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia.https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processesam2022Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineerin

    Simulation of nanofluid flow in a micro-heat sink with corrugated walls considering the Effect of Nanoparticle Diameter on Heat Sink Efficiency

    Get PDF
    In this numerical work, the cooling performance of water–Al2O3 nanofluid (NF) in a novel microchannel heat sink with wavy walls (WMH-S) is investigated. The focus of this article is on the effect of NP diameter on the cooling efficiency of the heat sink. The heat sink has four inlets and four outlets, and it receives a constant heat flux from the bottom. CATIA and CAMSOL software were used to design the model and simulate the NF flow and heat transfer, respectively. The effects of the Reynolds number (Re) and volume percentage of nanoparticles (Fi) on the outcomes are investigated. One of the most significant results of this work was the reduction in the maximum and average temperatures of the H-S by increasing both the Re and Fi. In addition, the lowest Tmax and pumping power belong to the state of low NP diameter and higher Fi. The addition of nanoparticles reduces the heat sink maximum temperature by 3.8 and 2.5% at the Reynolds numbers of 300 and 1800, respectively. Furthermore, the highest figure of merit (FOM) was approximately 1.25, which occurred at Re 1800 and Fi 5%. Eventually, it was revealed that the best performance of the WMH-S was observed in the case of Re 807.87, volume percentage of 0.0437%, and NP diameter of 20 nm.Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabiahttp://www.frontiersin.org/Energy_Researcham2022Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineerin

    The influence of forced convective heat transfer on hybrid nanofluid flow in a heat exchanger with elliptical corrugated tubes : numerical analyses and optimization

    Get PDF
    The capabilities of nanofluids in boosting the heat transfer features of thermal, electrical and power electronic devices have widely been explored. The increasing need of different industries for heat exchangers with high efficiency and small dimensions has been considered by various researchers and is one of the focus topics of the present study. In the present study, forced convective heat transfer of an ethylene glycol/magnesium oxide-multiwalled carbon nanotube (EG/MgO-MWCNT) hybrid nanofluid (HNF) as single-phase flow in a heat exchanger (HE) with elliptical corrugated tubes is investigated. Three-dimensional multiphase governing equations are solved numerically using the control volume approach and a validated numerical model in good agreement with the literature. The range of Reynolds numbers (Re) 50 < Re < 1000 corresponds to laminar flow. Optimization is carried out by evaluation of various parameters to reach an optimal case with the maximum Nusselt number (Nu) and minimum pressure drop. The use of hybrid nanofluid results in a greater output temperature, a higher Nusselt number, and a bigger pressure drop, according to the findings. A similar pattern is obtained by increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles. The results indicate that the power of the pump is increased when EG/MgO-MWCNT HNFs are employed. Furthermore, the thermal entropy generation reduces, and the frictional entropy generation increases with the volume fraction of nanoparticles and Re number. The results show that frictional and thermal entropy generations intersect by increasing the Re number, indicating that frictional entropy generation can overcome other effective parameters. This study concludes that the EG/MgO-MWCNT HNF with a volume fraction (VF) of 0.4% is proposed as the best-case scenario among all those considered.Taif University Researchers Supporting Granthttps://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsciMechanical and Aeronautical Engineerin
