Abstract The reverse flow pressure limiting aperture is a device that creates and sustains a substantial gas pressure difference between two chambers connected via an aperture. The aperture is surrounded by an annular orifice leading to a third chamber. The third chamber is maintained at a relatively high pressure that forces gas to flow through the annular aperture into the first of said two chambers. The ensuing gas flow develops into a supersonic annular gas jet, the core of which is coaxial with the central aperture. A pumping action is created at the core of the jet and any gas molecules leaking through the aperture from the second chamber are entrained and forced into the first chamber, thus creating a substantial pressure difference between the first and second chamber.

The present study is concerned with the flow characteristics of a microchannel supersonic gas flow. The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is employed for predicting the density, velocity and temperature distributions. For gas flows in micro systems, the continuum hypothesis, which underpins the Navier-Stokes equations, may be inappropriate. This is because the mean free path of the gas molecules may be comparable to the characteristic length scale of the device. The Knudsen number, Kn, which is the ratio of the mean free path of the gas molecules to the characteristic length scale of the device, is a convenient measure of the degree of rarefaction of the flow. In this paper, the effect of Knudsen number on supersonic microchannel flow characteristics is studied by varying the incoming flow pressure or the microchannel height. In addition, the microchannel height and the incoming flow pressure are varied simultaneously to investigate their effects on the flow characteristics. Meanwhile, the results show that until the diffuse reflection model is used throughout the microchannel, the temperature and the Mach number in the microchannel entrance may not be equal to free-stream values and therefore a discontinuity appear in the flow field.

The conditions of stabilization of combustion of detached gas jets on the vertical surface of the range of nozzle diameters d0 = 1.6–3.0 mm are investigated. The mechanism of flame stabilization of a detached gas jet on a vertical surface is shown, which allows to increase the gas flow rate through one nozzle by 3 or more times with stable combustion, compared to diffusion combustion of a free gas jet, which is not stabilized. The optimal distance to the vertical refractory surface in the nozzle calibers for the creation of slot bottom burner devices has been established. The necessity of using the minimum angles of attack till failure of combustion, which were experimentally founded, for the construction of slot bottom burner devices, is substantiated. It is experimentally established that starting from the gas pressure in the collector-pipe near 500 mmwg and, accordingly, the speed of its flow through the nozzle is more than near 100 m/s at a distance to the vertical surface on which the flame is stabilized 15 < L/d0 <= 30, for the range of nozzle diameters d0 = 1.6–3.0 mm, dimensionless area base sg/s0 of the elliptical cylinder Eb, less than 2–2.5 times of the maximum observed at a distance L/d0 near 40.

This chapter deals with the dependent variable of the study: consent. It analyses workplace consent in Russia and China using three indicators that refer to the core requirements of the production systems in automotive companies regarding employee behavior: first, standardized work; and second, compliance with expectations in terms of flexibility, cooperation, and a commitment to improving processes. The third indicator of consent (or the lack of it) is the absence or presence of open criticism, resistance, and labor disputes. The chapter reveals significant and unexpected differences between the Chinese and Russian sites on all three indicators. While the Chinese factories exhibit (with some variance between the companies), a relatively high level of consent, the Russian plants have problems with standardized work, the acceptance of performance expectations, and to some extent with labor disputes.

This chapter summarizes the advancement of duoethnography throughout its fifteen-year history, employing examples from a variety of topics in education and social justice to provide a wide range of approaches that one may take when conducting a duoethnography. A checklist articulates what its cofounders consider the core elements of duoethnographies, additional features that may or may not be employed and how some studies purporting to be duoethnographies may not be so. The chapter indicates connections between duoethnography and a number of methodological concepts including the third space, the problematics of representation, feminist inquiry, and critical theory using published examples by several duoethnographers.

The accurate prediction of liquid leak rates in packing seals is an important step in the design of stuffing boxes, in order to comply with environmental protection laws and health and safety regulations regarding the release of toxic substances or fugitive emissions, such as those implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft (TA Luft). Most recent studies conducted on seals have concentrated on the prediction of gas flow, with little to no effort put toward predicting liquid flow. As a result, there is a need to simulate liquid flow through sealing materials in order to predict leakage into the outer boundary. Modelling of liquid flow through porous packing materials was addressed in this work. Characterization of their porous structure was determined to be a key parameter in the prediction of liquid flow through packing materials; the relationship between gland stress and leak rate was also acknowledged. The proposed methodology started by conducting experimental leak measurements with helium gas to characterize the number and size of capillaries. Liquid leak tests with water and kerosene were then conducted in order to validate the predictions. This study showed that liquid leak rates in packed stuffing boxes could be predicted with reasonable accuracy for low gland stresses. It was found that internal pressure and compression stress had an effect on leakage, as did the thickness change and the type of fluid. The measured leak rates were in the range of 0.062 to 5.7 mg/s for gases and 0.0013 and 5.5 mg/s for liquids.
