TL;DR: The use of a suitably defined critical Reynolds number as an aid in the decision to operate on fusiform aneurysms is noted, as well as the limitations imposed on the experimental and theoretical results by the neglect of flow periodicity and nonhomogeneity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a gaseous phase material inlet filter tube was used to introduce gaseus phase material within a reaction zone and an exhaust pressure baffle to maintain laminar flow throughout the reaction zone.
Abstract: Apparatus for continuously carrying out mass transfer reactions in a reaction chamber utilizing laminar flow to provide diffusion limited transport and to provide isolation between process steps. There is provided a gaseous phase material inlet filter tube to introduce gaseous phase material in laminar flow within a reaction zone and an exhaust pressure baffle to maintain laminar flow throughout the reaction zone. Substrates may be continuously passed through a reaction zone to provide an inline system.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude and lifetime of bubble formation in pure water, methanol, and benzene as a function of mixer design, flow velocity, mixing ratio, temperature, way of stopping, as well as way of detection.
Abstract: The time resolution of stopped flow devices is limited by the time required for homogeneous, rapid mixing. At high enough flow velocities cavitation occurs in the liquid, which at high sensitivity obscures optical detection in the early history of the reaction mixture. In a Gibson‐Milnes type stopped flow apparatus, in the flow rate range of 5–10 m sec−1, forced vortex or inertial breakdown is the major mechanism of bubble formation, depending on the way of stopping. The amplitude and lifetime of the effect are reported in pure water, methanol, and benzene as a function of mixer design, flow velocity, mixing ratio, temperature, way of stopping, as well as way of detection.

TL;DR: In this article, an integral profile procedure is used to predict the effects of viscous heating and viscosity reduction on laminar flow development in a uniform pipe of circular cross-section under adiabatic conditions.
Abstract: An integral profile procedure is used to predict the effects of viscous heating and viscosity reduction on laminar flow development in a uniform pipe of circular cross-section under adiabatic conditions. The effects on fluid and pipe wall temperature, though small in the entrance region for conditions likely to be encountered in practice, become significant for viscous fluids in well-developed flow; the reduced pressure drops predicted relative to isothermal flow compare favourably with available measurements when allowance is made for the possibility of axial conduction therein.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the case of tube modules installed in rectangular tanks is analyzed for ideal flow behavior, and the expression for the effluent tracer concentrations, or detention time distribution, is derived based on the ideal assumptions.
Abstract: High-rate sedimentation tanks have different ideal hydraulic characteristics from those of the standard types. The case of tube modules installed in rectangular tanks is analyzed for ideal flow behavior. Due to the uniform diversion of flow to the tubes above, the horizontal flow velocity is reduced. The total volume of the tank can be divided into three successive zones to which certain ideal properties are assigned. These zones are the inlet, the horizontal flow, and the upward tube flow. The ideal conditions are complete mixing for the inlet zone, laminar with tapered velocity in the horizontal flow zone, and laminar flow in the tube module. For a transient tracer injected at the tank inlet, the expression for the effluent tracer concentrations, or detention time distribution, is derived based on the ideal assumptions. Experimental observations on a laboratory setup were interpreted to obtain actual functional volumes as compared to those provided by the adopted geometric configuration. Deviation from ideal behavior is measured by volumetric efficiency.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, heat transfer and pressure distributions in laminar separated flows downstream of rearwardfacing steps with and without mass suction were investigated at Mach numbers around 4 for the conditions when the boundary-layer thickness was comparable to or larger than the step height.
Abstract: Heat-transfer and pressure distributions in laminar separated flows downstream of rearward-facing steps with and without mass suction were investigated at Mach numbers around 4 for the conditions when the boundary-layer thickness was comparable to or larger than the step height. In both suction and no-suction cases, an increase of the step height resulted in a sharp drop of the base heating rates, which then gradually recovered to less than or near attached-flow values obtained with flat-plate configuration. Mass suction from the step base area increased the local heating rates; this effect, however, was relatively weak for laminar flows tested, and the competing effect of the step height clearly predominated. It was found that even removal of the entire incoming boundary layer was not sufficient to raise the poststep heating rates above the flat-plate values. The base pressure in the no-suction, solid-step case correlated reasonably well with the step height-to-boundary-layer thickness ratio and with the Reynolds number based on the step height.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical analysis of the effect of film cooling using single and double slots is presented, where the authors consider the tangential injection of a gas of the same molecular weight as the main flow into a laminar boundary layer.
Abstract: An analytical investigation is presented showing the effect of film cooling using single and double slots. The analysis considers the tangential injection of a gas of the same molecular weight as the main flow into a laminar boundary layer. Results in terms of heat transfer to the wall are presented for different slot heights, and injection velocities for both single and double slot configurations. The results indicate that the double slot is a more effective means of film cooling than the single slot.
