A Rotating Cylinder Type Apparatus is Described, Suitable for Determining Drag in Cylindrical Couette Flow of Rarefied Gases, and for Evaluating Tangential Momentum Accommodation Coefficients at Gas-Solid Boundaries. the Apparatus is Equipped with a Damping Device using Diffusion Pump Oil for Eliminating Undesirable Oscillations in the System. Tangential Momentum Accommodation Coefficients of Argon on Aluminum Were Determined with an Accuracy of ±2.5%. the Results Obtained Indicate that the Apparatus May Be Used over a Wide Pressure Range, Corresponding to Free Molecule and Continuum Flow Conditions. © 1970 the American Institute of Physics.

A rotating cylinder type apparatus is described, suitable for determining drag in cylindrical Couette flow of rarefied gases, and for evaluating tangential momentum accommodation coefficients at gas-solid boundaries. The apparatus is equipped with a damping device using diffusion pump oil for eliminating undesirable oscillations in the system. Tangential momentum accommodation coefficients of argon on aluminum were determined with an accuracy of ± 2.5%. The results obtained indicate that the apparatus may be used over a wide pressure range, corresponding to free molecule and continuum flow conditions.

A one-dimensional representation of the distribution of stress and strain resulting from the longitudinal impact of two elastic rods is developed. A form of the "correspondence principle" is then used to obtain series solutions for stress and strain distributions resulting from the longitudinal impact of two rods of a "Maxwell material." Results of the viscoelastic solutions, obtained by use of nondimensional variables, are presented graphically. © 1970 by ASME.
Radiative Heat Transfer Analysis From A Heated Airport Runway To Fog, Gordon L. Scofield, Tom J. Love
Radiative Heat Transfer Analysis From A Heated Airport Runway To Fog, Gordon L. Scofield, Tom J. Love
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Radiative heat transfer between a plane source and an aerosol is investigated through the Monte Carlo method. Thermal energy is transferred from a long rectangular source to monodisperse natural fog models. The analysis is only for radiative transport and does not include convection which would be coupled in a complete analysis. Direct energy transfer to the droplets of the aerosol is investigated for values of extinction coefficient of 10 km-1 and 80 km-1, absorption coefficient to extinction coefficient ratios of 0·4 and 0·5, and scattering functions of the strong forward and isotropic types. Monochromatic radiation at a wave length of …
Stability Of Asymmetric Hydrodynamically Developing Channel Flows, T. S. Chen, E. M. Sparrow
Stability Of Asymmetric Hydrodynamically Developing Channel Flows, T. S. Chen, E. M. Sparrow
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Linear stability is studied for developing channel flows induced by asymmetric velocity profiles at the inlet. Neutral stability curves and axial variations of the critical Reynolds number are presented, showing greater stability for more skewed inlet profiles.
