Maxwellian Valves based on centrifugal forces
نویسنده
چکیده
A mechanism is described which can create a chemical potential gradient from a single heat reservoir. The mechanism is equivalent to a Maxwellian valve. Heat supplies the energy through thermal fluctuations to form the gradient contrary to the second law. A quantitative analysis of the system is given.

Effects of Impeller Gap on Rotor Vibration in a High Speed Centrifugal Compressor: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Centrifugal compressors produce high pressure ratio and rotate at speeds. So, a tiny unbalance can produce severe vibration. In this paper, effects of impeller gap on rotor vibration in a high speed centrifugal compressor is investigated. For this purpose, a numerical and experimental analysis are carried out. The moving reference frame method in FLUENT software is used for modeling of geometri...
متن کاملIonospheric contribution to Saturn’s inner plasmasphere
[1] Ion densities from the three-dimensional Saturn thermosphere-ionosphere model are extended above the plasma exobase using the formalism of Pierrard and Lemaire (1996) which evaluates the balance of gravitational, centrifugal, and electric forces on plasma in a rotating dipole field. The parameter space of ionospheric contributions to Saturn’s inner plasmasphere (to within 1 Saturnian radius...

متن کاملCentrifugo-pneumatic multi-liquid aliquoting - parallel aliquoting and combination of multiple liquids in centrifugal microfluidics.
The generation of mixtures with precisely metered volumes is essential for reproducible automation of laboratory workflows. Splitting a given liquid into well-defined metered sub-volumes, the so-called aliquoting, has been frequently demonstrated on centrifugal microfluidics. However, so far no solution exists for assays that require simultaneous aliquoting of multiple, different liquids and th...
متن کاملGravitational and Centrifugal Forces in the Nut-Kerr-Newman Space-Time
Nayak et al have discussed in detail the inertial forces such as Gravitational, Coriolis-Lense-Thirring and Centrifugal forces in the Kerr-Newman Space-time in the Kerr-Newman Space-time. The main theme of this paper is to study the Gravitational and Centrifugal forces in the NUT-Kerr-Newman Space-time. Keywords—Gravitational Forces, Centrifugal Forces, Nut-KerrNewman, Space time.
