An experimental campaign is undertaken in order to investigate the hydraulic features of a vertical drop shaft, also considering the influence of a venting system consisting of a coaxial vertical pipe, projecting within the drop shaft with different plunging rates. Three different flow regimes are observed: a “weir flow” for very low head values, where the flow profile is subject to the atmosph...

This article investigates the pulsating flow of a compressible two-phase bubble of viscous fluid contained in an elastic orthotropicle direct axis tube. In this work, one-dimensional linear equations have been used. It is assumed that the tube is rigidly attached to the certain environment. In the case of finite length the pressure is applied at the end of its faces. In the limited process, rel...

Developing next generation transient heat exchangers is a transformative technology for efficient ther-mal management of advanced power electronics and electric machines (APEEM) inside hybrid electric,electric, and fuel cell vehicles as well as renewable energies (wind, solar, tidal). Optimal design criteriafor such dynamic heat exchangers should be achieved through addressing inter...

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a polymeric material employed in critical biomedical applications. Knowledge of its mechanical behavior is essential in order to obtain accurate prediction of stresses and deformations in real components, in particular when cyclic loading is considered. In the present research the effects of alternating and pulsating cyclic strain on the mech...

Civil Medical Officer. On the 3rd April 1866 a Mahomedan girl, aged 10 years, was brought for treatment to the Tipperah Charitable Hospital. The girl's mother gave the following history: About 4 months previously her daughter had an eruption of the scalp, at the seat of tumour. For its cure a village kobiraj applied a white powder, this caused a circular piece of the scalp to slough away, the b...

Initial-value and periodic nonlinear pulsation integrations are carried out for a series of doublemode Cepheid models (PdPo 0.7) in the vicinity of the resonance WI + Wo = W3. None of the models tested shows persistent double-mode behavior. A new, semiquantitative description of modal selection, based upon the iterative theory of Simon, is introduced to analyze the nonlinear results. In the sim...

ames. The models differ in their kinetic mechanisms, i.e. one-step and two-step chainbranching reaction schemes are considered here. It is shown that in these models there exists a variety of dynamical regimes of nonlinear wave propagation depending on the control parameters. These regimes include travelling waves, pulsating periodic waves, pulsating waves emerging due to the period-doubling bi...
