This study presents the simulation of internal flow of a hydraulic turbine using CFD based on pressure-swirl atomizer technology, typically used in combustion chambers of rocket engines. The proposed model is equipped with a swirl chamber with stabilizer included, dual manifold system and a rotor, each of these elements will be simulated to validate its functionality, prior to implementation and subsequent experimental testing. The results show that it is possible to produce the spray output jet even if there are interferences within the swirl chamber such as the rotor itself and the stabilizer. In addition, due to the tangential speeds produced within the atomizer may be viable to place a rotor to produce mechanical power. This study serves as a starting point to carry out future experimental tests to validate the generated power and efficiency of the proposed system. The results presen...

The objective of the study was to identify molecularly-isolated strains of Aspergillus from patients with invasive aspergillosis (IA); these strains were primarily typed as Aspergillus fumigatus sensu lato by conventional phenotypic methods. We worked with 20 strains from the mycology section of the Institute of Tropical Medicine "Daniel A. Carrión." To obtain the fungal DNA, thermal shock, enzymatic treatment, and silica gel column techniques were used; and it was stored at -20°C to preserve it. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) procedure included fluorochrome-labeled primers, which amplified the specific sequences of A. fumigatus. Fluorescence was measured with the thermocycler at the end of the hybridization phase of each cycle. It was molecularly-identified that only 50% of the strains studied belong to the species Aspergillus fumigatus sensu stricto.
