    AbstractVegetable oil is one of the bio-oils that have been promoted to replace petroleum-based products due to its eco- friendly characteristics. Palm oil has high productivity rate, and so it could fulfil the demand for a bio-lubricant. In this paper, the influence of the normal load on friction and wear performance were investigated for a RBD palm olein and compared with paraffinic mineral oil using four-ball tribotester. The normal load was varied from 30 kg to 60 kg. All experimental works were conforming to ASTM D 4172. The results exhibited that the RBD palm olein has lower coefficient of friction compared to paraffinic mineral oil. However, the wear scar of ball bearings lubricated with RBD palm olein showed larger diameter compared to paraffinic mineral oil. As a conclusion, RBD palm olein has better performance compared to paraffinic mineral oil in terms of capability to reduce friction

    The mixed gradient method [Zhong et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 265001 (2013)] is adopted and effects of collisions and finite beta are included in the Weiland 9-equation fluid model. The particle flux and particle pinch, obtained using the Weiland anomalous transport fluid model, are compared with Tore Supra experimental results. Particle transport is also studied using predictive simulation data for an experimental advanced superconducting tokamak discharge in which neutral beam heating is utilized. The effects of collisions on particle transport are studied by turning collisions on and off in the Weiland model. It is found that the particle pinch region is related to the mode structure. The particle pinch region coincides with the region where the strong ballooning modes are present due to large gradients. The general properties of the fluid model are examined by finding regions where collisions can enhance the particle pinch

    The derivation of Multi-Mode anomalous transport module version 8.1 (MMM8.1) is presented. The MMM8.1 module is advanced, relative to MMM7.1, by the inclusion of peeling modes, dependence of turbulence correlation length on flow shear, electromagnetic effects in the toroidal momentum diffusivity, and the option to compute poloidal momentum diffusivity. The MMM8.1 model includes a model for ion temperature gradient, trapped electron, kinetic ballooning, peeling, collisionless and collision dominated magnetohydrodynamics modes as well as model for electron temperature gradient modes, and a model for drift resistive inertial ballooning modes. In the derivation of the MMM8.1 module, effects of collisions, fast ion and impurity dilution, non-circular flux surfaces, finite beta, and Shafranov shift are included. The MMM8.1 is used to compute thermal, particle, toroidal, and poloidal angular momentum transports. The fluid approach which underlies the derivation of MMM8.1 is expected to reliably predict, on an energy transport time scale, the evolution of temperature, density, and momentum profiles in plasma discharges for a wide range of plasma conditions

    Microtearing instabilities and electron thermal transport in low and high collisionality NSTX discharges

    Microtearing mode (MTM) real frequency, growth rate, magnetic fluctuation amplitude, and resulting electron thermal transport are studied insystematic NSTX scans of relevant plasma parameters. The dependency of the MTM real frequency and growth rate on plasma parameters,suitable for low and high collision NSTX discharges, is obtained by using the reduced MTM transport model [T. Rafiq et al., Phys. Plasmas 23,062507 (2016)]. The plasma parameter dependencies are compared and found to be consistent with the results obtained from MTM using thegyrokinetic GYRO code. The scaling trend of collision frequency and plasma beta is found to be consistent with the global energy confinementtrend observed in the NSTX experiment. The strength of the magnetic fluctuation is found to be consistent with the gyrokinetic estimate. In earlierstudies, it was found that the version of the multi-mode (MM) anomalous transport model, which did not contain the effect of MTMs, providedan appropriate description of the electron temperature profiles in standard tokamak discharges and not in spherical tokamaks. When the MMmodel, which involves transport associated with MTMs, is incorporated in the TRANSP code and is used in the study of electron thermal transportin NSTX discharges, it is observed that the agreement with the experimental electron temperature profile is substantially improved

    The antimicrobial activity of theobromine against cariogenic microbes: an in vitro pilot study

    Get PDF
    Objective This pilot study aimed to compare the antimicrobial effect of theobromine, sodium fluoride, and a theobromine-sodium fluoride combination against the following caries-associated bacteria: Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces naeslundii. Methodology Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested via the broth microdilution method, with suspensions cultured on each microbe’s respective selective media. Shapiro–Wilk’s was completed and all the data showed normality (p > 0.05), and One-way ANOVA was applied to infer the significant differences in the viable counts between the groups. Results All experimental conditions for both S. mutans and A. naeslundii groups resulted in a significantly lower bacterial abundance in comparison to the control medium, without any active antimicrobial agent (p  0.05). Conclusion Theobromine’s antimicrobial activity against S. mutans and A. naeslundii was found similar to that of fluoride, whether used independently or in combination. Further testing of theobromine is necessary to assess its role as an alternative anticaries agent

    We present measurements of the excitation spectra from the 2p53p [5/2]3,2 levels in neon using two-step laser excitation and ionization in conjunction with an optogalvanic detection in dc and rf discharge cells. The 2p53p [5/2]3,2 intermediate levels have been approached via the collisionally populated 2p53s [3/2]2 metastable level. The Rydberg series 2p5(2P3/2)nd [7/2]4 (12 ⩽ n ⩽ 44), 2p5(2P3/2)ns [3/2]2 (13 ⩽ n ⩽ 35) and the parity forbidden transitions 2p5(2P3/2)np [5/2]3 (13 ⩽ n ⩽ 19) have been observed from the 2p53p [5/2]3 level, whereas the 2p5(2P3/2)nd [7/2]3 (12 ⩽ n ⩽ 44), 2p5(2P3/2)ns [3/2]2 (13 ⩽ n ⩽ 35), and 2p5(2P1/2)nd′ [5/2]3 (9 ⩽ n ⩽ 12) Rydberg series have been observed from the 2p53p[5/2]2 level in accordance with the ΔJ = ΔK = ± 1 selection rules. The photoionization cross sections from the 2p53p [5/2]3 intermediate level have been measured at eight ionizing laser wavelengths (399, 395, 390, 385, 380, 370, 364, and 355 nm) and that from the 2p53p [5/2]2 level at 401.8 nm. These measurements are in excellent agreement with the experimental values reported in the literature, while the experimental data lie much below the theoretically calculated photoionization cross sections curve

    Mixing theory for culture and harvest in bioreactors of human mesenchymal stem cells on microcarriers

    The use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in regenerative medicine is a potential major advance for the treatment of many medical conditions, especially with the use of allogeneic therapies where the cells from a single donor can be used to treat ailments in many patients. Such cells must be grown attached to surfaces and for large scale production, it is shown that stirred bioreactors containing ~200 μm particles (microcarriers) can provide such a surface. It is also shown that the just suspended condition, agitator speed NJS, provides a satisfactory condition for cell growth by minimizing the specific energy dissipation rate, εT, in the bioreactor whilst still meeting the oxygen demand of the cells. For the cells to be used for therapeutic purposes, they must be detached from the microcarriers before being cryopreserved. A strategy based on a short period (~7 min) of very high εT, based on theories of secondary nucleation, is effective at removing >99% cells. Once removed, the cells are smaller than the Kolmogorov scale of turbulence and hence not damaged. This approach is shown to be successful for culture and detachment in 4 types of stirred bioreactors from 15 mL to 5 L

    Chaos in the parallel sheared plasma flow driven electromagnetic turbulence in nonuniform magnetoplasmas

    Get PDF
    By employing the two-fluid model, a system of nonlinear equations for low-frequency electromagnetic waves in nonuniform collisional magnetoplasmas has been derived. The plasma contains both the equilibrium density gradient and sheared flows. In the linear limit, a local dispersion relation has been obtained and analyzed in several interesting limiting cases. It is found that equilibrium sheared plasma flows cause instabilities of Alfven-type waves even in the absence of the density gradient. The numerical results also show a large growth rate of electromagnetic parallel velocity shear (PVS) mode compared to the electrostatic mode for some ionospheric parameters. For this case, the temporal nonlinear behavior of the relevant governing mode coupling equations is governed by six coupled equations, which are a generalization of the Lorenz-Stenflo equations and which admit chaotic trajectories. The results of this investigation should be useful for understanding the linear and nonlinear properties of electromagnetic waves that are generated by sheared plasma flows in magnetized plasmas.
