This thesis reviews observational and theoretical work on the equatorial deep jets and work related to the study of the role of the horizontal Coriolis parameter. Most existing analytical models interpret the equatorial deep jets as either low frequency, long Rossby waves or stationary, long Kelvin waves generated at or near the ocean surface. These models are unable to answer the question of h...

Distribution of magnetic flux density in electromagnetic (EM) flow meter is significantly important for obtaining accurate flow rate. Helmholtz coils are used to generate homogenous magnetic flux density in the cross section of flow pipe of electromagnetic (EM) flow meter is presented in this paper. In this work, a simulation model with the EM module of finite element analysis software, COMSOL ...

Abstract Granular flows are typically studied in laboratory flumes based on common similarity scaling, which create stress fields that only roughly approximate field conditions. The geotechnical centrifuge produces conditions closer to those observed the field, but steady can be hardly achieved. Moreover, secondary effects induced by apparent Coriolis acceleration, either dilate or compress flo...

objective: drying is one of the most important post-harvesting processes in agriculture. drying method and also drying time have an important effect on the amount of energy required. in this study analysis of energy consumption for drying corn in dryer reservoir with flow of warm air and the effect of the temperature and height of product layer on the amount of energy consumption per unit mass ...

A new miniature Wright peak-flow meter has been designed and produced. The meter is tubular with a spring-loaded piston and a longitudinal slot through which air escapes. Its dynamic characteristics have been carefully designed to make it respond only to peak flow and not to rate of rise. Performance tests on early instruments showed fairly close correlation with the Wright peak-flow meter but ...
