The Effect of Women's Awareness on the Prevention and Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Background & Objective: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age. Greater awareness and early intervention are necessary to avert the sequelae like infertility, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. The present...

Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristics Through Acentric Twisted Oval Tubes: A 3D Numerical Investigation

Tube oval- twisting techniques have been consistently used to promote heat transfer and flow turbulence properties within tubes, enhancing flow mixing, disturbing boundary layers, and hence, offering higher thermal efficiency. However, the acentric twisted oval tubes have more in...

Fluid–Structure Interaction With Mixed Convection in a Vented Trapezoidal Cavity Filled With Power‐Law Fluid

ABSTRACT Active cooling is resorted to enhance the heat removal from hot bodies when the ambient temperature is relatively high. The current problem benefits the fluid–structure interaction by introducing a flexible fin to modulate the non‐Newtonian coolant entering into a trapez...

Enhancing energy efficiency in crude distillation units via process simulation and SQP-based optimization

Abstract The paper introduces a unique approach combining Aspen HYSYS simulation, actual refinery operating data (Basrah refinery), ASTM D86-based validation, and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) optimization into one practical framework in the context of energy optimizatio...
