Distal clavicle fractures treated by anteroinferior plating with a single screw: Two case reports

BACKGROUND For the treatment of distal clavicle fractures,each treatment method has its own advantages and disadvantages,and there is no optimal surgical solution.CASE SUMMARY Based on this,we report 2 cases of distal clavicle fractures treated utilizing an anterior inferior plate with a single screw placed in the distal,in anticipation of providing a better surgical approach to distal clavicle fracture treatment.Two patients were admitted to the hospital after trauma with a diagnosis of distal clavicle fracture,and were admitted to the hospital for internal fixation of clavicle fracture by incision and reduction,with good postoperative functional recovery.CONCLUSION With solid postoperative fixation and satisfactory prognostic functional recovery,this technique has been shown to be simple,easy to perform and effective.

Theoretical study on the pressurization characteristics of disc-seal single screw pump used in high viscosity oily sludge conveying field

The disc-seal single screw pump(DSSP)used in the field of high viscosity oily sludge transport has a huge advantage.However,there is no research on the pressurization characteristics of the DSSP at present,which makes its application limited.In view of this,the pressurization process mathematical model of the DSSP was established based on the geometric model of the pump.By using this model,the pressurization characteristics of DSSP and the influence of working parameters on the pressurization process were studied combined with the principle of back-flow pressurization.Analysis results show that the instantaneous pressurization process could be realized mainly depending on the reflux pressurization from the outlet chamber to the pressurization chamber when the screw rotor rotating angle is located at-5°to+5°.The pressure in the pressurization chamber will increase with the increase of working parameters which include inlet pressure,outlet pressure,screw rotation velocity and dynamic viscosity of fluid medium in the area of flow-back pressurization.The screw rotation velocity and the viscosity of the conveying medium have significant effects on the peak pressure in the pressurization chamber,and the peak pressure in the pressurization chamber is proportional to the screw rotation velocity and the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the conveying medium.The proportional coefficient between the peak pressure and the screw rotation velocity is 6.29×10~4.The proportional coefficient between the peak pressure and the dynamic viscosity of the conveying medium is 6.28×10~6.

Performance Improvement of Single Screw Compressor by Meshing Clearance Adjustment Used in Refrigeration System

The single screw compressor(SSC)is widely used in air compression and refrigeration systems due to its many advantages.The meshing clearance between the screw groove and gate rotor teeth flank has a significant influence on the compressor performance.In this paper,mathematical calculation models describing the internal working process of the SSC are established in order to evaluate the thermal dynamic characteristics of the compressor under varying meshing clearance heights.The refrigerating capacity,volume efficiency and adiabatic efficiency of the SSC are calculated and discussed.Three prototypes,with different meshing clearance heights,were manufactured to study the internal influence mechanisms.The theoretical model was verified using experimental data and the calculation results strongly agreed with the experimental results.Results demonstrate that comparisons of volume efficiency and adiabatic efficiency between the measured and calculated results exhibited deviations of 3.64%-7.98%and 5.92%-9.4%,respectively.Based on the models,analysis under varying meshing clearance heights and working conditions was performed.Taking into account working performance,actual manufacturing conditions and manufacturing cost limitations,a meshing clearance height range from 0.01 mm to 0.08 mm is suggested.This study can provide important theoretical data and experimental support for the design,manufacturing and optimization of single screw compressors.

Simulation of cottonseed cake melt flow in metering zone of a single screw extruder

Research on the extrusion of natural polymers(food,feed,etc.)is relatively new due to the complex physicochemical transformations of raw materials,although plastics melt conveying and transport have been well studied.The structure and composition,rheological behavior as well as extrusion processing of natural polymer are much more complicated.In this study,a quasi-three-dimensional(3D)fluid flow model for non-Newtonian,non-isothermal and undeveloped temperature was developed,the model prediction being in reasonably good agreement with the experiment.Results show that the influence of moisture content,among other process variables,is the most significant,followed by screw speed.Some interaction exists between these two variables and the screw speed effect becomes marginal at high moisture contents.In addition,viscosity change in the channel was studied.
