On the other hand, a novel method for manufacturing a pin core sandwich structure has been the aim of this research. Machinable wax panel was used to achieve cavities in form of pin within the core by drilling the wax panel by CNC-drilling machine then casting of thermoset resin (unsaturated polyester resin) into a wax mold, after that melting of the wax mold to get pin core sandwich structure. Complex structure can't be designed by conventional method but by this method allows to design such complex structures: spheres, pyramids, ellipse…etc. According to Response Surface Methodology method, fifteen specimens were achieved and three variables were investigated to get optimization and prediction model. The results show that 300% improvement of stiffness performance index with 40% weight reduction comparative to reference sample with 4.46 GPa0.5 cm3 g-1 optimal value for the specimen ((High=11mm), (Diameter=9 mm) and (Pin-to-Pin distance=4.3 mm)).

Good ventilation is one of the most important requirements for space occupants to maintain appropriate environmental conditions, as ventilation increases thermal comfort and improves indoor air quality. However, the studies on mixing ventilation systems based on occupied density have been highlighted in the present work. Improvement of the indoor environment is economically efficient when health and productivity are taken into account. The parts of a room that a person occupies must be characterized by speed and air temperatures suitable for the occupants of the space. In the occupied zone, fresh, clean supply air must reach all its parts, and no stagnation areascan be found there. A group of field studies conducted showed, significant levels ofdissatisfaction with the indoor environment in many buildings despite satisfying the typical ventilation requirements, where there are still many complaints regarding poor indoor air quality and diseases related to poor ventilation of buildings. In enclosed spaces, ventilation is one of the essential methods used to control indoor air quality (IAQ). In buildings, ventilation has an impact on the structure and, as a result, on the people who utilize it. A deteriorated indoor environment increases sick building syndrome (SBS), respiratory illnesses, and reduces comfort and productivity.","PeriodicalId":31812,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43207454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, an extensive study was conducted to expand the application range of the axial inlet hydrocyclone. This workpresents a literature review of the different separation technologies for the axial inlethydrocyclone. These are categorized into two groups: (i) geometrical parameters including, internal swirl element (ISE), swirl chamber, and (ii) operational parameters including, inlet flow rate, feed temperature, mixture fraction, and droplet size. The influence of these parameters on the velocity components profile and pressure drop were analyzed based on the separation performance parameters such as separation efficiency and pressure drop.

Pitch angles of 14o, 18o, 30o, and 45o within the standard pitch roof range are selected. The configuration falls within Rayleigh number 3.19 x 105 Ra 2.04 x 107. A finite-volume CFD code was used to solve the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations governing the problem. The results obtained indicate a strong influence on the shape and angle of the roof. At lower roof pitches, the flow field is characterized by multiple counter-rotating vortices asymmetrically arranged within the enclosures. Eight cells in the 14o enclosure were reduced to five in the 45o roof pitch. The size and rotating strength of a vortex increase from the left corner to the middle of the enclosures. At higher pitch angles, the vertical wall obstructed the flow leading to a number of distorted cells. The maximum velocity within the aerodynamic boundary layer along the base wall occurs at Y=0.02 with the values U=0.013 and U=0.028 in the 14o and 45o enclosures respectively. The thermal field portrays a convection system of rising hot plumes from the base wall and descending cold jets from the inclined walls; all enclosed by thin boundary layers along the walls. Graphical plots of velocity and temperature variations along some cross-sections within the enclosures enable the prediction of some important heat and flow parameters. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":31812,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41361545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of stiffness addition (linear spring) and the effect of spring location was deeply studied. Also, the effect of flow velocity on the dynamic stability of the system was taken into the consideration. It was observed that there is a critical flow velocity after which the system loses its stability. There is a critical spring constant at which the dynamic behavior becomes more sensitive. Also, there is a specific spring location (effective location) so the spring offers the best results for the frequency of the system.
