An accurate prediction of the interphase behaviors vertical gas-liquid subcooled boiling flow is meaningful for first loop a nuclear power plant (NPP). Therefore, including bubble size distribution in NPP are analyzed, evaluated, and validated using various wall models coupled with population balance model (PBM) kernels this paper. Firstly, nondimensional numbers DEBORA (Development Borehole Se...

2002 i Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude and profound thanks to Professor Peter Hagedorn, for his keen interest and guidance. His constant encouragement and perseverance were constant sources of inspiration for me. I am also greatly indebted to Professor Yogesh M. Desai for his invaluable guidance at the beginning of the project and his constant encouragement a...

Patients with Parkinson׳s disease (PD) respond more readily than healthy controls to irrelevant stimuli that contain task-relevant, response-priming features. This behavior may reflect oversensitivity to response-relevant features of irrelevant stimuli or failure to select relevant stimuli. To decide between these alternatives, we investigated in a "contingent-capture" paradigm whether PD patie...

In this work, we report an original experimental approach for measuring the two-dimensional distribution of the droplets Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) using the SLIPI-LIF/MIE technique. A hollow-cone spray is formed by continuously injecting water mixed with a non-toxic fluorescing dye at 20 bars injection pressure. The spray is illuminated using a continuous wave laser. The illumination wavelengt...

State estimation of stochastic discrete-time linear systems subject to unknown inputs or constant biases has been widely studied but no work has been dedicated to the case where a disturbance switches between unknown input and constant bias. We show that such disturbance can affect a networked control system subject to deception attacks and data losses on the control signals transmitted by the ...

Abstract The present study aims at characterizing the atomization of a water jet which is injected at high velocity into still air thanks to an industrial nozzle particularly used in irrigation. The nozzle diameter is 4.36 mm and exit velocity is about 25 m/s. The droplet size and velocity are analyzed by a double-pulsed shadowgraph imaging technique using a Droplet Tracking Velocimetry (DTV) m...

concluding that overtime work has a relationship with short sleep duration (<6 hours/day) even at 26 hours/ month. Virtanen et al. reported a cross-sectional study and two longitudinal studies that examined the relationship between long working hours and short sleep duration. A significant odds ratio for short sleep duration (<7 hours/day) was observed in a case-control study when weekly workin...

We have used speckle visibility spectroscopy (SVS) and synchronized force measurements to compare the granular dynamics of two cohesive lactose powders, with Sauter mean diameters of ~29 μm and ~151 μm, in a rotating drum. A load cell (LC) was used to measure forces on the drum mounting frame and enable monitoring of bulk powder motion; SVS is a dynamic light scattering technique particularly s...

In this paper we consider the three-dimensional wave equation in unbounded domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We start from a retarded single layer potential ansatz for the solution of these equations which leads to the retarded potential integral equation (RPIE) on the bounded surface of the scatterer. We formulate an algorithm for the spacetime Galerkin discretization with smooth and...
