SUMMARY We have developed Nozzle, an R package that provides an Application Programming Interface to generate HTML reports with dynamic user interface elements. Nozzle was designed to facilitate summarization and rapid browsing of complex results in data analysis pipelines where multiple analyses are performed frequently on big datasets. The package can be applied to any project where user-frie...

In this paper a numerical approach for the prediction of the unsteady atomization process of liquid fuel in Diesel engine is presented. The dependences between the transient nozzle flow and spray formation are analysed. For that purpose models to simulate unsteady nozzle flows including the transient behaviour of cavitation and two-phase atomization process are employed. Results of transient fl...

Nowadays, the environmental concern in machining industry is a fact. Because of that, in this article a new cooling-lubrication system which combines CO2 cryogenic and MQL technologies is presented. The aim of this new cooling-lubrication system is to offer an ecological and economic efficient alternative. Two nozzle adapters are proposed with different CO2 outlets. The developed nozzles are Pl...

To compensate for the insufficiency and instability of solder paste dispensing and printing that are used in the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production process, a noncontact solder paste jetting system driven by a piezoelectric stack based on the principle of the nozzle-needle-system is introduced in this paper, in which a miniscule gap exists between the nozzle and needle during the jetting...

A computational analysis of an annular converging-diverging (CD) and an altitude adaptive expansion-deflection (ED) nozzle is presented. Numerical results were generated using a 2D axisymmetric, pressure-coupled solver in conjunction with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence closure model and second order spatial discretisation schemes. Results were recorded over a theoretical altitude range and com...

This paper presents the design and characterization of micro-fabricated 0.5 MHz silicon-based ultrasonic nozzles. Each nozzle is made of a piezoelectric drive section and a silicon-resonator consisting of five Fourier horns, each with half wavelength design and twice amplitude magnification. Results of impedance analysis and measurement of longitudinal vibration confirmed the simulation results...

A nozzle conŽ guration for the production of an intense and collimated supersonic cluster beam is presented and characterized by numerical modeling. A simple lens added to a cylindrical nozzle exploits aerodynamic focusing effects. The effect of the focalizing nozzle is an enrichment of the core of the jet with clusters of an arbitrary size interval depending on carrier gas pressure and tempera...

The space-time conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) method is used to solve the conservation law form of the compressible axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. The equations are time marched to predict the unsteady flow and the near-field screech tone noise issuing from an underexpanded circular jet. The CE/SE method uses an unstructured grid based data structure. The unstructured ...

In an attempt to detect the influence of various kinds of face masks and a nasal nozzle on nasal airflow, we made measurements of nasal resistance by a head-out body plethysmograph with or without the masks on the face or the nozzle to the nostril of the normal adult subjects. The mean values of nasal resistance with the masks differed from the mean values without the masks significantly. No si...

Cyanobacteria and myxobacteria use slime secretion for gliding motility over surfaces. The slime is produced by the nozzle-like pores located on the bacteria surface. To understand the mechanism of gliding motion and its relation to slime polymerization, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations of a molecular nozzle with growing inside polymer chains. These simulations show that the com...
