Communication has been deemed by Nelson, Schrader, and Eidsness (2009) as critical to the ability to provide quality end-of-life care. While past research has focused on communication between healthcare professionals and ...
An Experimental Study on a Density Driven Solar Water Heating System Using Supercritical CO2 as Working Fluid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
For supercritical carbon dioxide, a small change in temperature or pressure can result in large change in density, especially close to its critical point. At this pseudocritical region, density decreases rapidly with ...
Numerical Studies of Droplet Behavior in a Steady Non-Uniform Electric Field
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
An initially uncharged droplet suspended in another immiscible fluid under the influence
of a steady non-uniform electric field may experience deformation, migration and bursting.
This work numerically investigated the ...
Numerical Simulation of Direct Expansion Solar-Assisted Heat Pump Water Heater Using Carbon Dioxide as Refrigerant
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Compared to the conventional solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) water heating system, a relatively more compact direct-expansion solar assisted heat pump (DX-SAHP) has been introduced, in which the solar collector acts as an ...
