The Voice of the Dragon: a Physical Model of a Rotating Corrugated Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
When an unsmooth flexible tube rotates, rich tones are produced. We propose a physical model that simulates this behavior. The tube is modeled as an open-ended organ pipe blown by an air stream pumped by a rotationally induced pressure which follows Bernoulli’s principle.

Numerical Comparison of Turbulent Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristics of SiO2/Water Nanofluid within Helically Corrugated Tubes and Plain Tube
Turbulent heat transfer in Helically Corrugated Tubes (HCT) was numerically investigated for pure water and SiO2 nanofluid using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This study was carried out for different corrugating pitches (5, 7, 8 mm) and heights (0.5, 0.75, 1.25 mm) at various Reynolds numbers ranging from 5000 to 13300. The effect of nanoparticles on heat transfer augmentation for plain t...
متن کاملUpper Bound Analysis of Tube Extrusion Process Through Rotating Conical Dies with Large Mandrel Radius
In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the tube extrusion process through rotating conical dies with large mandrel radius. The material under deformation in the die and inside the container is divided to four deformation zones. A velocity field for each deformation zone is developed to evaluate the internal powers and the powers dissipated on all frictional and velocity disco...

متن کاملA Scale-up Design Procedure for Rotating Biological Contactors
A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...
