  • The Roles of Spacer Grids

    3020 Words  | 7 Pages

    the major flow obstructions in the core, spacer grids have been found to affect the coolant flow hydrodynamics and heat transfer characteristics. There have been studies in regards to a single phase coolant traveling along the fuel rods and through the spacer grids; Mizutani et al (2007), Zhang (2008), however there is a need for enhanced information of what occurs when two phases travel through the spacer grid. Under certain conditions, the coolant may become a mixture of two phases along the rod

    3.5.3 Fanning Friction Factor (fw) Determination The fanning friction factor, fw is a function of the flow Reynolds’ number. It is required for calculating the contribution of frictional force to the momentum equation (equation (3.28)). In the developed UCL model, the Chen (Chen, 1979) correlation is employed for the calculation of the fanning friction factor for transition and turbulent flows in rough pipes. It is given by: 1/√(f_w )=3.48-1.7372 ln⁡[ε/r_in -16.2446/Re ln⁡A ]

  • Sttagnation Point Flow: The Problem Of Stagnation-Point Flow

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    Abstract: The existing solutions of Navier–Stokes and energy equations in the literature regarding the problem of stagnation-point flow of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet are only for the case of two dimensional. In this research, the steady axisymmetric three–dimensional stagnation point flow of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet is investigated. The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by presentation a similarity solution and then are solved numerically

    in which the phase image is used to determine the ridges and minutiae. The phase image contains two parts: the continuous phase and the spiral phase (which corresponds to the minutiae). In [4], the authors propose to incorporate a piecewise planar model for the continuous phase reconstruction. This model predicts the continuous phase block by block based on the gradient of the continuous phase. The fingerprint is reconstructed by combining the continuous phase and the spiral phase, which has a good

    needed in order to understand the complicated science behind volcanoes. Background Formation Volcanoes vary in shape, size, and type. Likewise, volcanoes have varied eruption styles, from beautiful fiery displays of explosive lava to pyroclastic flows of hot gases and ash. A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface where magma has erupted or poured through, generally resulting in hills or mountains (Abbott, 2014). This natural phenomenon has spawned a field of science known as volcanology

    dissolved in a fluid which called the mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material known as the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture transport at different velocities, causing them to separate. The separation is mainly based on differential partitioning between the mobile and it’s stationary phases. Subtle differences in a compound's partition coefficient result in differential retention time on the stationary phase and thus changing the separation (Tomer

    An organic solvent or a mixture of solvents (the eluent) flows down through the column. Components of the sample separate from each other by partitioning between the stationary packing material (silica or alumina) and the mobile eluent. Molecules with different polarity partition to different extents, and therefore

  • Productivity Index Case Study

    985 Words  | 2 Pages

    Petroleum Engineers. The productivity index of a well is a measure of the production rate achievable under a given drawdown pressure, which is the difference between the average reservoir pressure and the flowing bottom hole pressure. Defined as the flow rate per unit pressure drop, the productivity index gives an indication of the production potential of a well. From the bpss equation above: Therefore: From a reservoir point of view, well management

    of a mixture. They are carried out by mixing two immiscible liquids containing certain solutes together in a separatory funnel, allowing them to separate, then extracting the distinct layers that form. The ratio of the concentration of solute present in the upper layer to the concentration in the lower layer is called the partition coefficient. The efficiency of a separation is described by this partition coefficient. If the coefficients for the two layers are largely different, then the separation

    The three phase induction motor is the most widely used electrical motor. Almost 80% of the mechanical power used by industries is provided by three phase induction motors because of its simple and rugged construction, low cost, good operating characteristics, absence of comutator and good speed regulation. In three phase induction motor the power is transferred from stator to rotor winding through induction. The Induction motor is also called asynchronous motor as it runs at a speed other than the

    jazz music in the early 1920s. Jazz was not only influenced by ragtime but was also heavily influenced from the blues of the deep south. Blues originated in the late 19th century and was more of a mellow or melancholy flow style that created a repetitive effect called a groove. These two styles of music, both ragtime and blues, synthesized to create Jazz. In listening to “Tiger Rag” by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and “Dipper Mouth Blues” by the Creole Jazz Band, it was apparent of the multiple

Morrison, Ross, & Kemp) and Learner Centered ID model allow flexibility of process flow (Melsom, 2010). Comparing the process flow of these models, the nonlinear categories focus more on learners’ characteristics because of its flexibility that incorporates the learner’s need at every stage of the development. The essence of designing a learning system is
