[1] The unsteady state drainage of water from a vertical sand column with and without a finer layer on the top was studied theoretically and experimentally to investigate the airflow generated by the finer layer. The sand column, saturated at its lower portion and initially in the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium, is drained at its bottom at constant head. The results show that significant ...

A new method for sampling and chemical analysis of alphacypermethrin in workplace air has been described. Air samples were taken using a glass tube filled with silica gel with chemically bounded octadecyl phase. Chromatographic determinations were conducted using an HP-5 capillary column (10 m x 0.53 mm) and an electron-capture detector. Alphacypermethrin recovery was 100.15%. The calculated de...

introduction:  skin  sparing  is  one  of  the  most  desirable  characteristics  of  high  energy  photon  beams. however, the photons emerging from the target of linacs are contaminated by secondary  electrons  as  a  result  of  their  interactions  with  air,  collimators,  flattening  filter  and  any  other  objects in their path. this phenomenon tends to increase the skin dose received b...

The pressure variations associated with a filling undulating pipeline containing an entrapped air pocket are investigated both experimentally and numerically. The influence of entrapped air on abnormal transient pressures is often ambiguous because the compressibility of the air pocket permits the liquid flow to accelerate but also partly cushions the system, with the balance of these tendencie...

The water vapour column density or vertically integrated (IWV) ranges from about 8 mm in winter to 25 summer Bern, Switzerland. However, there can be day episodes when IWV drops 2 even less so that the atmosphere is extremely dry. We selected an event February 2021 tropospheric radiometer TROWARA measured a mean value of 1.5 ± 0.2 for time interval one Bern. ECMWF reanalysis ERA5 indicated slig...

This study presents results from detailed experiments of the two-phase pressurized flow behavior during the rapid filling of a large-scale pipeline. The physical scale of this experiment is close to the practical situation in many industrial plants. Pressure transducers, water level meters, thermometers, void fraction meters and flow meters were used to measure the two-phase unsteady flow dynam...
