Abstract Detailed numerical analysis is presented for natural convection heat transfer in internally finned horizontal annuli. Governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method, and solved using SIMPLE algorithm with Quick scheme. The results show that the flow and heat transfer can reach steady state when the Rayleigh number is below 2×10⁴. When the Rayleigh number is greater than 3×10⁴ , two different types of numerical solutions under the same parameters can be obtained for different initial conditions. The critical Rayleigh numbers with two different initial conditions are different from steady to unsteady solutions. The oscillatory flow undergoes several bifurcations… More >

Abstract The critical flow rate through a micro/nano slit pore for starting the adsorbed layer-fluid or adsorbed layer-wall interfacial slippage is calculated by a multiscale scheme. There are the physical adsorbed layers on the channel walls and the intermediate continuum fluid which are respectively in noncontinuum and continuum flows. The flow factor approach model for nanoscale flow is used to simulate the adsorbed layer flow, and a continuum model describes the continuum fluid flow. The boundary between the adsorbed layer and the continuum fluid or the boundary between the adsorbed layer and the channel wall are treated as the interfacial slippage.… More >

Abstract Effects of serrated pulsating airflow on liquid film evaporation in a falling film channel was numerically studied based on a two-dimensional model. The mechanism of pulsating airflow evaporation was studied as the pulsating airflow swept across the vertical liquid film surface at the stagnant temperature. Effects of amplitude, frequency, and velocity of the serrated pulsating airflow at certain evaporation time on evaporation were analyzed. Compared with the uniform airflow, the highest relative evaporation of liquid film on vertical pipe inner surface was increased by about 0.3 %. When the airflow was pulsating, the cycle of vapor mass flow rate was… More >

Abstract This paper describes a possibility of heat transfer enhancement in a mm-scale flow channel by using a combination of some projections and pulsating flow. The objective of this research is to develop a novel heat exchanger for miniaturized productions such as high-density packaging electronic equipment by applying pulsating flow to enhance heat transfer while inhibiting an increase of pressure drop. In order to evaluate the possibility of applying pulsating flow to miniature water channels, a three-dimensional flow and heat transfer analysis was performed. Heat transfer performance of a combination of pulsating water flow and a projection was investigated. The mechanism… More >

Abstract The mass flow rate through a micro/nano channel is calculated by a multiscale analysis when the thickness of the adsorbed layer on the channel wall is comparable to the channel height and the interfacial slippage on the adsorbed layer-wall surface interface occurs or not. The calculation is compared with that from conventional continuum flow theory. It is found that when the ratio More >

Abstract The aim is to assess the associations between social precariousness, perceived social support, and the return to work (RTW) in the first year following the beginning of adjuvant breast cancer treatment. Sixty-eight breast cancer patients encountered when starting their adjuvant treatment (T0) were followed up at 3 (T1) and 12 months (T2). Friends’ informative support at T0 favours the RTW at T1. Precariousness and negative support at T0 and T2 decrease the likelihood of RTW at T2. RTW support should be offered and tailored at the outset of treatment.

Abstract In this article, we attempt to shed light on the function that shame can have for the oncology caregiver. Toward this aim, we put forward the hypothesis that shame functions to safeguard subjectivity. We demonstrate that caregiver shame can be a sign of suffering but also a defense allowing to resubjectify oneself. This happens through a call for the gaze of the “other” and a request for union, sometimes bringing up a “demand” in the psychoanalytic sense of the term.

Abstract Maintaining or returning to work for people with cancer is a major issue. One in five people lose their job 5 years after diagnosis. The problem is complex, in connection with the consequences of the disease, the treatments, the partial knowledge of the aid devices, and the socioprofessional particularities. First of all, an update on the state of play in France is made, to understand the situation on the demographic level, the material and psychological consequences. Then, the article traces the experience of a cancer care center in the establishment of a system to support the professional life of people… More >

Abstract In the current context, a smart grid has replaced the conventional grid through intelligent energy management, integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and two-way communication infrastructures from power generation to distribution. Energy management from the distribution side is a critical problem for balancing load demand. A unique energy management strategy (EMS) is being developed for office building equipment. That includes renewable energy integration, automation, and control based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) system using Matlab Simulink. This strategy reduces electric power consumption and balances the load demand of the traditional grid. This strategy is developed by taking inputs from… More >

Abstract Unmanned vehicles are currently facing many difficulties and challenges in improving safety performance when running in complex urban road traffic environments, such as low intelligence and poor comfort performance in the driving process. The real-time performance of vehicles and the comfort requirements of passengers in path planning and tracking control of unmanned vehicles have attracted more and more attentions. In this paper, in order to improve the real-time performance of the autonomous vehicle planning module and the comfort requirements of passengers that a local granular-based path planning method and tracking control based on multi-segment Bezier curve splicing and model predictive… More >
