Scintillating lustre induced by radial fins

چکیده
Radial lines of Ehrenstein patterns induce illusory scintillating lustre in gray disks inserted into the central gaps (scintillating-lustre effect). We report a novel variant of this illusion by replacing the radial lines with white and black radial fins. Both white and gray disks inserted into the central gaps were perceived as scintillating, if the ratio of the black/white fin width were balanced (ie, close to 1.0). Thus, the grayness of the central disk is not a prerequisite for the scintillation. However, the scintillation was drastically reduced when the ratio was imbalanced. Furthermore, the optimal ratio depended on the color of the center disks.

A Fractional Model of Convective Radial Fins with Temperature-dependent Thermal Conductivity
The principal purpose of the present article is to examine a fractional model of convective radial fins having constant and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. In order to solve fractional order energy balance equation, a numerical algorithm namely homotopy analysis transform method is considered. The fin temperature is derived in terms of thermo-geometric fin parameter. Our method is n...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Natural Convection Cooling of Vertical Cylinders with Inclined Plate Fins
Abstract: In this paper, natural convection from vertical cylinders with inclined plate fins is investigated experimentally for use in cooling electronic equipment. Extensive experimental investigations are performed for various inclination angles, fin numbers, and base temperatures. From the experimental data, a correlation for estimating the Nusselt number is proposed. The correlation is appl...
متن کاملSpatial distortions induced by dotted patterns.
Prolonged steady fixation of parallel, radial, or concentric lines positioned close to each other generates phenomena of illusory oscillation, waving, and shimmering. Purkinje reported a first observation of these phenomena almost two centuries ago (review by Wade, 1977 Perception 6 407-433). Here we show that illusory waving and oscillation phenomena arise at first glance when dotted lines are...

Laminar natural convection of Cu-water nanofluid between two horizontal concentric cylinders with radial fins attached to the inner cylinder has been studied numerically. The inner and outer cylinders are considered at constant temperature Ti and To respectively, with Ti>To. The governing equations with the corresponding boundary conditions have been solved by using the finite volume method....
متن کاملCharacteristics of forced convection heat transfer in vertical internally finned tube
This work presents a numerical investigation of a vertical internally finned tube subjected to forced convection heat transfer. The governing equations were solved numerically using the control volume technique. Nusselt number, Nu, and friction factor multiplied by Reynolds number, fRe, are influenced greatly by the height and number of the radial fins. The velocity and temperature distribution...
