Efficiency of swimming of micro-organism and singularity in shape space
نویسنده
چکیده
Micro-organisms can be classified into three different types according to their size. We study the efficiency of the swimming of micro-organism in two dimensional fluid as a device for helping the explanation of this hierarchy in the size. We show that the efficiency of flagellate becomes unboundedly large, whereas that of ciliate has the upper bound. The unboundedness is related to the curious feature of the shape space, that is, a singularity at the basic shape of flagellate. E-mail: [email protected] 1

Steam Reforming Integrated with Oxidation of Methanol in a Micro-Channel Reactor with Different Micro-Baffle Shapes
A micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. Governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with FLUENT software. In upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. Two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...
متن کاملComparison of original and weighted singularity indexin separation of Pb- Zn mineralized zone in the Haft Savaran district, Central Iran
The Haft Saravan area is located in 90 km SE Arak in the central Iran. This area is a part of Malyer-Isfahan metallogenic belt. The article's objective is determining the most suitable method for identifying mineralized zones using original singularity and weighted singularity methods in three-dimensional space. In weighted singularity method, mineralized zones have a greater volume relative to...
متن کاملEffects of catalyst particle size on methanol dehydration at different temperatures and weight hourly space velocities
The effect of catalyst particle size on dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether is investigated using fixed bed and micro-channel reactors at different temperatures and weight hourly space velocities. The experiments were carried out at 290 and 320oC. The space velocities were changed from 10 up to 90h-1 and from 1.22 to 3.65h-1 for fixed bed and micro-channel reactors, respectively. Consider...
متن کاملStringy and Membranic Theory of Swimming of Micro - organisms ∗
When the swimming of microorganisms is viewed from the string and membrane theories coupled to the velocity field of the fluid, a number of interesting results are derived; 1) importance of the area (or volume) preserving algebra, 2) usefulness of the N-point Reggeon (membranic) amplitudes, and of the gas to liquid transition in case of the red tide issues, 3) close relation between the red tid...
متن کاملOrbital Normal Forms for a family of-zero Singularity
Consider a Dynamical system x'=F(x,µ) such that its linear part has a pair of imaginary eigenvalues and one zero eigenvalue (Hopf zero singularity). Recently, the simplest normal form for this singular system has been obtained by sl(2) Lie algebra theory and the decomposition of space into three invariant subspaces. The normal form of this singular system is divided into three general cases. In...
