Diffusion Coefficients Over Rough And Smooth Boundaries, Obtained By Measuring The Concentration-Velocity Covariance, R. S. Mcquivey, T. N. Keefer

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

A preliminary investigation of the coefficients of turbulent diffusion in an open channel was conducted by employing: 1) hot-film anemometry to detect the velocity fluctuation, 2) a platinized single-electrode conductivity probe to detect the concentration fluctuations, and 3) a digital computing system to evaluate the covariance and other statistical properties of the two output signals.

Data were collected downstream of a constant-discharge point source of neutrally-bouyant salt solution at stream temperature and velocity. Using current semi-empirical methods diffusion coefficients were obtained in the vertical and lateral directions as well as dispersion coefficients due to convection.

Use Of A Constant Temperature Hot-Wire Anemometer To Compensate For The Thermal Lag, Peter Freymuth

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

A constant temperature hot-wire anemometer can be used to compensate for the thermal lag of a wire or film resistance thermometer within the useful frequency range of the anemometer. This method may be used as an alternative to the standard method in which a differentiation circuit as employed in constant current anemometers is used for frequency compensation. The new method is useful if a constant temperature anemometer is at hand. The time constant of the resistance thermometer need not be determined.

Frequency Response Studies For A Wedge Probe In Viscoelastic Fluids, J. M. Rodriguez, Gary Kent Patterson, J. L. Zakin

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

The response of a hot-film wedge probe in viscoelastic fluids has been investigated by imposing on the probe a sinusoidal vibration of known amplitude and frequency. Root-mean-square (rms) velocities calculated from the displacement of the probe were compared to rms velocities obtained with a constant temperature anemometer. The tests were performed under turbulent flow conditions and also at flow rates where viscoelastic effects (i.e., decrease of heat transfer rates from the probe to the fluid and drag reduction) were observed.

The frequency range covered was narrow ( < 100 cps). This limitation was imposed by the decision to superimpose the sinusoidal vibrations on the turbulence signal, in order to have dynamic conditions similar to those encountered in actual turbulence measurements. Measurements were performed in mineral oil and four solutions of polyisobutylene (Vistanex L-200) In mineral oil.

The experimental technique was established by measuring the response of the probe in …

Some Aspects Of Flow Through Rotating Circular Tubes, D. L. Boyer, J. R. Guala

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

The flow of water in a circular tube rotating about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the tube is studied. Information about the flow is obtained from coated hot-film probes and a constant temperature anemometer. A maximum Reynold's number of 9,500 is obtained and the Taylor number is varied from 800 to 3,100. Little similarity is found to exist between flows in rotating and in non-rotating systems in this range of parameters.

Measurements Of Turbulence Characteristics In Water And In Dilute Polymer Solutions, Tadeusz Kowalski

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

Measurements of turbulence characteristics were made inside a boundary layer in external flow of water and in water with polymer additives of the Polyox type. Flush mounted hot-film sensors and wedge, parabolic, and cylindrical sensors were used to measure the turbulent velocity fluctuations. Graphs are given of energy density, dissipation, turbulence shear correlation spectra, and microscale of turbulence distribution. Tests were run in an open channel flow at one Reynolds number and two rates of polymer injection to give 20 and 40 ppm average concentration in the boundary layer. The results indicate that the advent of the quartz insulated hot-film …

Cold-Rolled Austenitic Stainless Steel: Materials Properties And Structural Performance, George Winter, S. T. Wang

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The cold reduction in thickness of austenitic stainless steel sheet brings about the following significant characteristics of material properties: 1) higher strength with an increasing amount of cold working, 2) more pronounced anisotropic material properties with increasing cold working, 3) stress strain relations different in tension and compression and depending on directions, and 4) nonlinear stress strain curves with relatively low elastic limits, especially in longitudinal compression. In addition, local buckling is encountered in thin walled structural members. These are the problems associated with the structural design of stainless steel members. The purpose of this investigation is to develop the …

Diffusion Coefficients Of D-Glucose In Aqueous Carboxymethylcellulose And Carboxypolymethylene Solutions, A. L. Huang, S. V. Desai, Robert M. Wellek

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A micro interferometric method was used to determine pseudo-binary, molecular diffusion coefficients for diffusion of D-glucose in aqueous carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and aqueous carboxypolymethylene (Carbopol) solutions. An initial solute concentration of about 9 wt. % D-glucose in the aqueous polymer solutions was used. The polymer concentrations for the CMC solutions ranged from 1.2 to 2.2 wt. % and for the Carbopol solutions from 0.18 to 0.28 wt. %. Diffusion coefficients were determined as a function of reduced solute concentration, both with and without the effect of solution volume change during diffusion being considered. © 1969, American Chemical Society.

Aspects Of The Effects Of Cold-Forming On The Properties And Performance Of Light-Gage Structural Members, Jairo Uribe, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION General Background Cold-Formed Steel Construction constitutes today an industry of significant importance. Its products supplement the usual hot-rolled steel structural members and can be divided into two broad categories: a) structural sections whose main purpose is to carry loads, and b) panels and decks which in addition should provide useful surfaces or serve other functions. Cold-formed steel structural members are made of hot rolled or cold reduced sheet or strip steel by any of the cold-forming methods described below. Thicknesses range in general from No. 28 Gage (0.0149 in.) to No. 10 Gage (0.1345 in.) but some formed shapes …

Mining Environmental Conference

FORWARD: Environmental problems in our complex industrial society have, in the past decade, assumed immense proportions. A population growth which will double the number of persons in the United States and in the total world in the next thirty years makes it imperative that greater care and consideration be given to the effects of industrialization on all our lives.

All industry is fair game for the advocate that suggest that there should be no change in what nature has given us. If these persons were to be followed, there would be no industrialization, no improvement in living conditions, working hours, …
