It is shown that a relatively simple analysis predicts the functional variation of temperature and pressure in a vortex chamber with radius and inlet velocity. The predicted variation is in good agreement with experimental observations. By assuming that the flow at the outside of the chamber occupies some effective flow area, which is essentially independent of flow rate, the inlet velocity may be expressed in terms of the chamber dimensions and the fluid properties at entrance. The effective flow area assumption is verified experimentally for two chamber exit configurations using air.

Experiments of the valve bridge are carried out and the boiling states are investigated, to study the boiling heat transfer in cylinder head jacket. The effects of inlet flow rate and temperature on boiling heat flux are analyzed, as well as the thickness of fire deck. The results show that the inlet velocity has little effect on the velocity in valve bridge zone, even the velocity in the valve bridge zone can strongly affect on boiling heat transfer. The results can offer references to practical application in power-enhanced diesel engine.

A Belleville washer can be best described as a non flat washer with a conical shape and a uniform cross section. They are also known as disk springs and as the name suggests they are often utilised for their load bearing capabilities. Due to their compactness along the axis of loading and a wide range of attainable load-deflection characteristics they are an attractive alternative to conventional springs. Though Belleville washers are primarily used for their load bearing capabilities, they can also be used to build a damping device; which in turn can be used as part of a suspension system. The non linear deflection of the spring makes it difficult to predict the resulting pressure-flow characteristic and as a result the damper pack is built either by an experienced operative or by a trial and improvement method. Without an analytical tool to predict the behaviour a designer cannot exploit the full functionality of this type of spring. The intension of this paper is to present research undertaken to develop a correlation which describes the pressure drop required for various flow rates when using Belleville washers as damping elements. Using existing load-deflection theory an initial model was developed to relate load with pressure and deflection with flow area which could be used to estimate flow rate. The solutions from a computer simulation showed similar trends to those found in the experimental study, but they estimated smaller pressure drops for a given flow rate. It was postulated that the exit velocity of the fluid created a region of low pressure which tended to close the opening and thus increase the pressure drop. This hypothesis was examined and confirmed with a computational fluid dynamic simulation and the results were used to modify the existing model. Analysis of the new model showed good agreement with the experimental study.

Externally pressurized supersonic gas thrust bearings whose generation of load capacity is substantially independent of the viscosity of working fluids, have been proposed and analyzed by the authors. This report presents the experimental results of the static characteristics of this new type of bearings. The experimental results including load capacity, stiffness, mass flow rate, and pressure distributions in the bearing clearance, generally show a good agreement with the theoretical predictions and verify the validity of this new bearing. The effect of an orifice to improve the stiffness is also examined. Some problems which should be solved to put the bearing in practical use are pointed out.

This article demonstrates new observation of the high-resolution ro-vibrational bichromatic photoassociation spectra (BPAS) of Cs2 in the 0u+ long-range state below the asymptotes 6S1/2 + 6P1/2. By combining with a modulation spectroscopic technique, precise references of the frequency differences have been engineered through the BPAS, with which the rotational constants of low-lying vibrational levels of the Cs20u+ long-range state have been accurately determined by fitting the frequency differences to the non-rigid-rotor model. The rotational constants for the newly observed seven ro-vibrational levels are summarized and disagreement for the level ῦ = 498 is clarified. The rotational constants of different vibrational levels demonstrate strong perturbations of the related energy structures. A simple analysis is performed and shows good agreement with experimental results.

The traditional orifice discharge formula used to estimate the flow rate through a leak opening at a pipe wall often produces inaccurate results. This paper reports an original experimental study in which the influence of orifice-to-pipe diameter ratio on leakage flow rate was investigated for several internal/external flow conditions and orifice holes with different shapes. The results revealed that orifice-to-pipe diameter ratio (or pipe wall curvature) indeed influenced the leakage flow, with the discharge coefficient ( C d ) presenting a wide variation (0.60–0.85). As the orifice-to-pipe diameter ratio decreased, the values of C d systematically decreased from about 12% to 3%. Overall, the values of C d also decreased with β (ratio of pressure head differential at the orifice to wall thickness), as observed in previous studies. On the other hand, orifice shape, main pipe flow velocity, and external medium (water or air) all had a secondary effect on C d . The results obtained in the present study not only demonstrated that orifice-to-pipe diameter ratio affects the outflow, but also that real scale pipes may exhibit a relevant deviation of C d from the classical range (0.61–0.67) reported in the literature.

This study reports on numerically calculated thermophysical properties of air passing through a gas turbine compressor after passage through an intake duct affected by wet compression. Case of reference is unaffected ambient air (referenced to as dry scenario) passing through intake duct and compressor. Furthermore, ambient air cooled down by (overspray) fogging (referenced to as wet scenarios) was considered. Acceleration at the end of intake duct causing reduction of static temperature and pressure results in supersaturated fluid properties at inlet to gas turbine compressor. These supersaturated fluid properties are non-equilibrium with saturation level above relative humidity of φ = 1. Entrance of supersaturated fluid into gas turbine compressor can result in condensation within first compressor stage. At the same time delayed impact of evaporative cooling influences compression process.

This paper presents a comparison of MELCOR calculated results with experimental data for the QUENCH-16 experiment. The analysis for the air ingress experiment QUENCH-16 has been performed by INRNE. The calculations have been performed with MELCOR code. The QUENCH-16 experiment has been performed on 27-th of July 2011 in the frame of the EC-supported LACOMECO program. The experiments have focused on air ingress investigation into an overheated core following earlier partial oxidation in steam. QUENCH-16 has been performed with limited pre-oxidation and low air flow rate. One of the main objectives of QUENCH-16 was to examine the interaction between nitrogen and oxidized cladding during a prolonged period of oxygen starvation. The bundle is made from 20 heated fuel rod simulators arranged in two concentric rings and one unheated central fuel rod simulator, each about 2.5 m long. The tungsten heaters were surrounded by annular ZrO2 pellets to simulate the UO2 fuel. The geometry and most other bundle components are prototypical for Western-type PWRs. To improve the obtained results it has been made a series of calculations to select an appropriate initial temperature of the oxidation of the fuel bundle and modified correlation oxidation of Zircaloy with MELCOR computer code. The compared results have shown good agreement of calculated hydrogen and oxygen starvation in comparison with test data.

A simple, fast, accurate and precise reverse phase HPLC method is developed and described for the determination of ramelteon in tablet dosage form. Chromatography was carried on an ODS column using a mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer pH 7.0 (35:65 V/V) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with detection at 286 nm. The retention time of the drug was 7.7 min. The procedure was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The developed method was validated for linearity from 50 to 150% which shows the method is quite linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.999, for precision which includes system precision, method precision, intraday and by another analyst on another day, and accuracy. The %RSD for system precision was observed to be 1.1, whereas the method precision was observed to be 0.2. The % recovery from ‘accuracy’ studies yielded the recovery of 99.7-101.5% which indicates the capability of the method, and finally for robustness that includes studies w.r.t. change in flow rate, the percentage of organic modifier and pH. As per ICH guidelines, method validation results are in good agreement. The proposed method was simple, sensitive, precise and accurate.
