Characterization of coalescence-induced droplet jumping height on hierarchicalsuperhydrophobic surfaces...surfaces.During forward operation, continuous evaporation occurs from the heatedsuperhydrophilic evaporator surface; self-propelled jumping returnsthe condensate droplets from the cooler superhydrophobic surface tothe evaporator, allowing passive recirculation of the working fluidwithout a reliance on gravity or capillary wicking for fluid return.In...
Bronchoalveolar lavage results are independent of season, age, gender and collection site... An age dependent decrease of lavage fluid return was present, but there was no age dependent correlation with any of the other BALF parameters....
Editorial indications of bal, lung biopsy, or both in mechanically ventilated patients with unexplained infiltrations... BAL is a firstline examination with many advantages, including a large sampled lung area and sufficient fluid return to perform multiple analyses....
Heat pipe flight experiments... Tested were a hollow channel screen system with helical grooves, a heat pipe with a wicking system of horizontal grooves, and a spiral artery pipe with multichannel fluid return to the evaporator....
