Predictability of exergy destruction in helically coiled tube heat exchangers: global, pitch-specific and hierarchical correlations

Purpose This study aims to quantify second-law performance in a vertically oriented helically coiled tube heat exchanger (HCTHEX) and develop predictive correlations for the dimensionless exergy-destruction fraction ϕD=E˙D/E˙in,total across operating conditions and coil pitches,...

Adapting Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to a student advising framework

Abstract This AM Last Pages describes how Maslow’s Hierarchy can help students understand the myriad of tasks they must complete from a career perspective in medical school. These 5 distinct tasks include finishing medical school intact, meeting minimum standards to finish school...

Optimizing the radiolytic degradation of aspirin and acetaminophen in aqueous solutions using a Rhodotron electron-beam accelerator and central composite design

The escalating pollution of limited freshwater resources by ECs represents a critical byproduct of modern industrialization. Pharmaceutical compounds, specifically NSAIDs like ACM and ASP, are frequently detected in aquatic environments because conventional wastewater treatment p...
