High Pressure Liquid Jet Nozzle System For Enhanced Mining And Drilling, B. P. Selberg
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This invention is directed to a nozzle configuration capable of enhancing the cutting and drilling effects of high pressure liquid fluid jets. The jet system is particularly adapted to configurations of two or more liquid jets which are oriented to converge at a common point. The internal nozzle configuration produces controlled instability in the jet stream causing a more rapid breakup into droplets which can be combined to produce very fast moving jets and slow moving jets when collision between droplets occur. The velocity of the fast jets so formed may be several times greater than the original velocity of …

Inversion To Obtain Aerosol Size Distributions From Measurements With A Differential Mobility Analyzer, Darryl J. Alofs, P. Balakumar

To Measure Size Distributions of Sub micrometer Aerosols with an Electrical Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) Requires an Inversion Procedure. the Knutson (1976) and the Hoppel (1978) Inversion Procedures Were Numerically Investigated for the Case of Log-Normal Aerosol Size Distributions. It Was Found that the Hoppel Procedure Converges to the Same Result as that Given by the Knutson Procedure. the Computational Range for Geometric Mean Diameter (Χg) Was 0.025-0.25 Μm, and for Geometric Standard Deviation (Σg) Was 1.1-2.4. the Inversion Error Was Found to Be Greater Than 10% in Certain "Forbidden Zones" of Χg and Σ …
