Zero Energy

Experimental measurements of the relaxation times of a nuclear reactor were compared with the theoretical relaxation times in the range 1.6 to 186 sec. The work was done with the Chalk River Zero Energy Experimental Pile, ZEEP, in 1947, and showed that agreement within the experimental error could be obtained if the theoretical model used to represent the reactor was of the age-velocity type with a correction for the effect of the reflector.

Influence Of Process Parameters

The Ugine-Se´journet patent for glass lubrication of metals extrusion made it possible to extrude steel in large quantities. A cold pad of glass powder inserted between the die and the billet head melts progressively, providing a high viscosity glass film between the die and the metal. The authors propose a theoretical model of the lubrication mechanism: progressive melting, hydrodynamic flow, and stability of the film. The influence of process parameters is discussed and results are compared with experimental measurements.

Dynamic Load Factor

AbstractThis paper presents simulation calculations and experimental measurements to determine the dynamic load factor (DLF) of train on the urban railway in Vietnam. Simulation calculations are performed by SIMPACK software. Dynamic measurement experiments were conducted on Cat Linh – Ha Dong line. The simulation and experimental results provide the DLF values with the largest difference of 2.46% when the train speed varies from 0 km/h to 80 km/h

Experimental measurements are presented for free convective heat transfer across a parallelogrammic enclosure with the various tilt angles of parallel upper and lower walls insulated. The experiments covered a range of Rayleigh numbers between 3.4 × 104 and 8.6 × 107, and Prandtl numbers between 0.70 and 480. Those also covered the tilt angles of the parallel insulated walls with respect to the horizontal, φ, of 0, ±25, ±45, ±60, and ±70 deg under an aspect ratio of H/W = 1.44. The fluids used were air, transformer oil, and water. It was found that the heat transfer coefficients for φ = −70 deg were decreased to be about 1/18 times those for φ = 0 deg. Experimental results are given as plots of the Nusselt number versus the Rayleigh number. A correlation equation is given for the Nusselt number, Nu, as a function of φ, Pr, and Ra.

Phase Slips

Theoretical model of current conversion from normal to collective current in mesoscopic samples of CDW conductors is presented. The current conversion is described in terms of phase slips (PS) induced by strain of the CDW and stimulated by thermal fluctuations. Kernels of PS situated near contacts are surrounded by long-range perturbations of the CDW phase. If spacing between contacts is shorter than decaying length of these perturbations then temporal evolution of PS at different contacts becomes correlated, and PS voltage decreases with spacing between the contacts decreasing. The results are in qualitative agreement with experimental study of current conversion in submicron NbSe3 wires.

Method Analysis

In this paper a numerical and experimental study of the effect of blowing/suction through a perforated surface on a turbulent boundary layer at a Mach number M = 1.4 is carried out. Most of the calculations were performed by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k-w SST turbulence model. The calculated geometry completely repeated the experimental one including the perforated surface. The numerical data were compared with experimental measurements obtained by the PIV method. Analysis of the data made it possible to find the limits of applicability of the numerical method for this flow.

Generalized Kelvin Model

Nowadays, the wheels of worm gears with a low module can be made of plastic; thus, classical modeling can no longer be used satisfactorily. The present paper describes an original method for studying the quasistatic loaded behavior of a worm gear, with a steel worm and a nylon wheel. A generalized Kelvin model is proposed, and the computation of load sharing is described by using an equation of displacement compatibility. The history of previous deformation and the effect of the nylon’s structural damping are also taken into account. Experimental measurements of the loaded transmission error are performed with the help of optical encoders rigidly connected to the worm and gear shafts, giving access to their instantaneous angular positions. The numerical simulations fit quite well with the experimental results.
