Performance evaluation tests on Siemens e.camR Signature Series Single Photon Emission Computed Tomogra-phy (SPECT) System at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (Ghana) were conducted for compliance with Manufactur-erfs specifications and usersf requirements. The tests were performed according to National Electrical Manufac-turers Association protocols, and different measuring instruments and phantoms containing 99m-Tc were used. Extrinsic uniformity, System energy resolution, System spatial resolution (without scattering), Detector shield leakage and System planar sensitivity were evaluated. The System energy resolution measured was 9.38 % as against manufacturersf specification of . 9.9 %, Planar sensitivity value measured was 232.92 c/min/mCi while manufacturersf specification was 202 c/min/mCi, and Detector shield leakage values measured were 0.001 %, 0.022 % and 0.025 % against an accepted value of < 1 %. The performance evaluation confirmed that the Syst-em met requirements for clinical nuclear medicine imaging, and the values could be used as database for future quality control measurements.

Numerical computation code (PWR-DNBP) has been developed to predict Critical Heat Flux (CHF) of forced convective flow of water in a vertical heated channel. The code was based on the liquid sub-layer model, with the assumption that CHF occurred when the liquid film thickness between the heated surface and vapour in the slug flow regime attained critical film thickness of infinitesimally small value at positive liquid velocities for which the value of critical heat flux ratio (CHFR) ~ 1. The numerical simulations predicted trends that CHF decreased with increasing flow quality, increased with increasing coolant mass flux, and increased with channel diameter. The predicted CHF were validated with data obtained by Tong’s correlation, and the computational errors indicated deviations of 5 -10 % uncertainty levels.
开发了数值计算程序PWR-DNBP,用于预测水在垂直加热通道中强制对流的临界热流密度。该程序基于液体亚层模型,假设在段塞流状态下,受热表面与蒸汽之间的液膜厚度在正液体速度下达到无限小的临界膜厚度,且临界热流密度比(CHFR)为1时发生CHF。数值模拟预测CHF随流动质量的增加而减小,随冷却剂质量通量的增加而增大,随通道直径的增大而增大。预测的CHF用Tong的相关性得到的数据进行了验证,计算误差表明偏差为5 - 10%的不确定性水平。

The influence of barrier position on breakdown voltage in air dielectric has been investigated. Needle and Cone positive point electrodes were used and the effects of electrode curvature on barrier position for maximum breakdown voltage were compared, with air gap for the point to plane electrode fixed at 10 cm for all the tests. The breakdown probability was found for barrier position, and at every barrier distance, the breakdown voltage differed. The position for maximum breakdown for needle electrode was in the range of 28 - 30 % from the poi-nt electrode. The position for optimum breakdown for cone electrode was 50 % from the point electrode, and the deviation originated from the electrode configuration. The effect of defective barrier was tested by introducing holes of different diameter at the barrier centre, and the maximum breakdown voltage was affected depending upon the diameter of the hole on the barrier.

Stress analysis of a brick-mortar couplet as a substitute for brick wall structure has been performed by finite element method, and algorithm for determining the element stiffness matrix for a plane stress problem using the displacement approach was developed. The nodal displacements were derived for the stress in each element, fr-om which the general stress configuration for the structural model was evaluated. The process involved numeri-cal computation and the results showed that the stresses were directly affected by the modulus of elasticity of the mortar, assuming that the modulus of elasticity for the brick region remained constant. The limitation of fai-lure theory based on homogeneity was not ignored, as variation of modulus of elasticity for the mortar region was a significant factor.
本文采用有限元法对砖墙结构中砖-砂浆耦合体进行了应力分析,提出了用位移法确定平面应力问题单元刚度矩阵的算法。推导了各单元应力的节点位移,并以此计算了结构模型的一般应力形态。数值计算结果表明,在砖区弹性模量保持不变的情况下,砂浆的弹性模量直接影响应力。基于均匀性的失效理论的局限性不容忽视,砂浆区域的弹性模量变化是一个重要的因素。

Optimization of process parameters for producing biodiesel from Jatropha carcus, Azadirachta indica and hevea brasiliensis seed oils using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst were investigated. Temperature and methanol characteristics (oil molar ratio; catalyst type, concentration and agitation) controlled the ester convers-ion. A single-step and two-step trans-esterification were used to produce biodiesel from free fatty acid rubber, jatropha and neem seed oils. The maximum yields of ester from jatropha, neem and rubber oils were respective-ly 98.4, 94.6 and 92.8 % by homogeneous catalysis, and 79.0, 72.0 and 70.2 % by heterogeneous catalysis. While the homogeneous catalysis route produced higher biodiesel yields, the heterogeneous catalyst method produced biodiesel of lower ester content. The fuel properties of biodiesels and blends were analysed quantitati-vely, and the biodiesel produced by homogeneous catalysis compared favourably with conventional diesel fuel.

By extending pipe length by equal increments, with corresponding increments in number of sanitary appliances and total water flow rates to a water distribution system of a building, fractions of the total frictional loss throu-gh pipe fittings for varying work complexities were obtained. The fractions varied from 0.342 to 0.377 as the pipe length increased from 28.3 m to 68.3 m with corresponding increase in number of appliances from 8 to 48 and total water flow rate from 0.60 L/s to 2.24 L/s. The fractions were applied for quick estimation of head los-ses in building water distribution networks.

Chemical analysis of Agbabu Bitumen Exudate as potential refinery feedstock 阿巴布沥青渗出液作为潜在炼油原料的化学分析
Pub Date : 2011-03-25 DOI: 10.4314/JAST.V16I1-2.64785

Maltene fractions of Agbabu bitumen exudate analysed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometery revealed that the chemical compositions were similar to compounds of conventional petroleum. Specifically, saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), alicyclic hydrocarbon (cycloparaffin), unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes), aromatic hy-drocarbons and nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen (NSO) compounds, which are the notable constituents of petrole-um, were all identified in the exudate. The proportions of the constituents in the bitumen were 44.59 % cyclop-araffin, 28.61 % alkanes, 3.47 % monoaromatic hydrocarbons, 6.44 % alkenes, 3.23 % nitrogen compounds, 1.95 % sulphur compounds and 4.27 % oxygen compounds. The composition compared favourably to the resp-ective percent ranges in conventional crude oil, i.e. normal alkanes (15 - 60 %), cycloparaffins (30 - 60 %), aro-matics (3 - 30 %), nitrogen (1 - 2 %), oxygen (0.1 - 1.5 %), sulphur (0.2 - 0.5 %). However, the percentage co-mposition of the NSO compounds was higher than found in conventional petroleum. To serve as refinery feed-stock, the exudate must be subjected to hydrogenation to remove the polar (NSO) compounds.

HOMER power optimization software for evaluation of design and performance of both off-grid and gridconnected power systems has been applied for cost-benefit analysis of a wind-solar hybrid power generation system. Comparison was also made with the cost per kilowatt of grid power supply. The hybrid system had a pay-back period of about thirty-three years. The central grid power was the least expensive option, but might not be available to most rural households far from the grid. Hence, the autonomous distributive system of hybrid power generation was advantageous.

Triangulation design of mixed-mode research on control of trypanosomiasis involving Participatory Rural Appr-aisal (PRA), surveys, parasitological studies and satellite data (as a holistic approach) is presented. Trypanoso-miasis is a disease affecting human and livestock, and the multi-method research approach was adopted to anal-yse accurately information on trypanosomiasis surveys and control methods. Triangulation is based on the assu-mption that weakness in a single method would be compensated by strengths of other methods, and qualitative results were supplemented by the quantitative methods to improve validity and reliability of data. The research focussed on farmer’s production objectives, use of Berenil® to control trypanosomiasis, and satellite mapping of areas at risk of diseases for targeting predictions and control. For convergence of results, different aspects of the disease, with respect to risk areas, severity, disease location and patterns, were investigated for validity and reli-ability of trypanosomiasis survey and control by triangulation.
提出了涉及参与式农村评估(PRA)、调查、寄生虫学研究和卫星数据(作为一种整体方法)的锥虫病控制混合模式研究的三角测量设计。锥虫病是一种影响人类和牲畜的疾病,采用多方法研究方法准确分析锥虫病调查和控制方法的信息。三角剖分是基于一种方法的缺点会被其他方法的优点所弥补的假设,并通过定量方法来补充定性结果,以提高数据的效度和可靠性。该研究的重点是农民的生产目标、使用Berenil®控制锥虫病,以及针对预测和控制的疾病风险地区的卫星制图。为使结果趋同,对锥虫病的不同方面,如危险区域、严重程度、发病地点和模式进行了三角测量,以确定锥虫病调查和控制的效度和可靠性。
