This paper presents efflux time experiments performed in the absence and presence of aqueous solutions of Drag Reducing Agents (DRAs) when a liquid is emptied from a large open cylindrical storage tank through an exit piping system. The drag reducing agents studied are Dodecyl benzene sulfonate anionic surfactant and a mixed solution of surfactant and sodium chloride counter ion. The variab...

In the developing Drosophila melanogaster embryo, dorsal-ventral patterning displays an absolute requirement for the product of the essential windbeutel gene, Wind. In homozygous windbeutel mutant flies, dorsal-ventral patterning fails to initiate because of the failure of the Golgi-resident proteoglycan-modifying protein, Pipe, to exit the endoplasmic reticulum, and this leads to the death of ...

The HERA luminosity upgrade is expected to generate two major problems in the current method of luminosity determination which is based on counting brehmsstrahlung photons: damage of the calorimeter monitor due to high primary synchrotron radiation and large multiple event (pile-up) corrections. The luminosity spectrometer presented in this talk, is a novel method that reduces the impact of the...

VI-1 Abstract – In conducting analysis of systems that have failed as a result of lightning and transients, we have observed repeated incidences associated with corrugated flexible tubing. The nature and frequency of lightning strokes is considered. The failure process is investigated. Standards and articles provide adequate minimum design for installation. Ten areas of electrical systems corre...

Two numerical procedures in the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method, applying particle flux conservation at inflow/outflow pressure boundaries, are developed to treat the two most important boundary conditions encountered in micromechanical and vacuum devices involving internal gaseous flows. The first one is for both specified pressures at inlet and exit; while the second one is for specified...

A theoretical and experimental study of the dense-spray region of pressure-atomized nonevaporating sprays is described, emphasizing effects of ambient gas density in the atomization breakup regime. Mean liquid volume fraction distributions were measured for 9.5 mm diameter water jets in still air at pressures of 1-8 atm. Mixing was strongly affected by the gaslliquid density ratio and the degre...

A light cone efficiently transports, distributes, and concentrates the incoming radiation. I derive a formula for the spatial irradiance (or illuminance) distribution at the exit aperture of a tapered light pipe. The theory is demonstrated by Monte Carlo ray-tracing for lightpipes with light-emitting diodes at the input face. The analysis is based on the addition of the radiation patterns of th...

INTRODUCTION The discharge ofliquids from vertical tubes with various con­ traction geometries was studied via the unsteady Bernoulli equa­ tion. The temporal variations of the exit velocity and fluid level in the tube were found from the numerical integration of nonlin­ ear differential equations. Sudden, quadratic, and exponential contraction geometries were considered. For inlet to exit area...
