Detecting bubble in two-phase flow has been a basic issue in two-phase flow systems. A new method for measuring the frequency of bubble formation is presented in this paper. For this purpose, an electronic device was designed and constructed which works based on a change in intensity of laser beam. For this purpose, continues light beam is embedded just above the needle, which is received by a ...

The strength of the inferences and conclusions that Huffman (2014) makes regarding the effectiveness of extensive reading (ER) relative to intensive reading (IR) at developing reading rate is excessive, and not valid considering the limitations of the methodology of his study. Huffman provides evidence of the effectiveness of ER in developing learners’ reading speed. When measuring reading spee...
