In the era of compact and high-power electronics, effective thermal management systems are crucial. Metal foams, with their
high porosity and superior thermal conductivity, offer a promising alternative to traditional finned heat sinks. This study
presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using ANSYS Fluent to optimize the thermal and flow performance of
metal foam-based heat sinks. The optimization focuses on key structural parameters such as porosity, pore density (PPI), foam
thickness, and base material thermal conductivity. Simulations are conducted across varying Reynolds numbers under forced
convection conditions. The study evaluates performance based on temperature distribution, pressure drop, and heat transfer
coefficient. Results show a complex interplay between geometry and performance, where increased porosity improves thermal
conductivity but raises flow resistance. An optimal configuration is proposed, balancing thermal and hydraulic performance.

An Experimental Investigation on Meta Kaolin Modified Concrete Paver Blocks

Ankit Sethi, Mohd Rashid — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Concrete paver blocks are special pre-cast pieces of concrete blocks of non-interlocking or interlocking types, commonly used in exterior landscaping pavement applications. Properly designed and constructed paver blocks give excellent performance at locations where conventional pavement systems have lower service life due to a number of environmental, geological constraints. But with the use of high performance concrete they can be designed to sustain light, medium, heavy and very heavy traffic conditions under any constraints. Modern concrete can be modified with addition of mineral admixtures which refine the microstructures of the concrete and enhance its physical properties and durability. Meta kaolin, produced by controlled thermal treatment of kaolin, can be used as a concrete constituent, since it has pozzolanic properties. It is a highly efficient Pozzolana and reacts rapidly with the excess calcium hydroxide resulting from OPC hydration by a pozzolanic reaction, to produce calcium silicate hydrate and calcium alumino silicate hydrates. Hence the objective of the present work was to evaluate the performance of concrete modified with Meta kaolin for paver blocks for use in pavements and other application areas. As compressive, flexural strengths and water absorption are the most significant properties for concrete paver blocks the same have been studied for various concrete mixes with varying percentages of Meta kaolin.

Experimental and Numerical Study Ontuned Mass Damper in Controlling Vibration of Frame Structures

Varun Kumar Sikka, Rizwan Ahmed — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Day by day, the numbers of taller and lighter structures are continuously increasing in the construction industries which are flexible and having a very low damping value.Those structures can easily fail under structural vibrations induced by earthquake and wind. Therefore several techniques are available today to minimize the vibration of the structure, out of which concept of using TMD is a newer one. There are large numbers of studies on theoretical investigation of behaviour of buildings with tuned mass dampers under various impacts. However, the experimental studies in this area are quite limited. In this thesis, a one-storey and a two-storey building frame models are developed for shake table experiment under sinusoidal excitation to observe the response of the structure with and without TMD. The TMD is tuned to the structural frequency of the structure keeping the stiffness and damping constant. Various parameters such as frequency ratio, mass ratio, tuning ratio etc. are considered to observe the effectiveness and robustness of the TMD in terms of percentage reduction in amplitude of the structure. Then the responses obtained are validated numerically using finite element method. From the study it is observed that, TMD can be effectively used for vibration control of structures.

The Role of Nursing in Improving Patient Outcomes in Hemodialysis: A Focus on Patient Education, Adherance, and Complication Management

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hemodialysis is the cornerstone of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD),
which is defined as irreversible loss of kidney function. Developments in dialysis technology have helped make
treatment accessible and improved survival, but outcomes for this hemodialysis treatment remain reliant overall on
the delivery of high-quality multidisciplinary care, of which nursing care is a key component. Nurses in hemodialysis
units perform both technical procedures as well as functions as educators, outcome facilitators, and first responders
to treatment complications. They have the most contact with patients, hence best placed to identify psychosocial
barriers, support health education, monitor clinical signs and intervene rapidly in case of emergencies. Abstract: We
present a narrative review of key areas in hemodialysis care that highlight the contribution of nurses to improving
patient outcomes, specifically in the areas of (1) patient education, (2) adherence to dialysis regimens and (3)
complications. The effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on reducing the incidence of CNE is illustrated with a
relevant, real-world case example, and the specific outcomes associated with nursing care are summarized in a table
format. In addition, a conceptual flow sheet represents the variability in nursing functions throughout the dialysis
care trajectory, specifying the holistic and proactive role of nephrology nurses. These findings underline the necessity
of ongoing resources toward nursing training, staffing, and infrastructures to ensure the quality of care—and the
long-term future—of dialysis patients
