Phase Doppler Interferometry

The structure of the two-phase flow produced by a SNECMA/GEAE CFM-56 swirl cup is characterized using flow visualization and phase Doppler interferometry. Three operating conditions are examined, corresponding to 3.5, 7, and 15% power levels for the engine. Detailed measurements are obtained for the 3.5 and 7% power conditions. The results obtained are contrasted to previous results obtained in an idealized environment with the goal of assessing the relevance of such data to practical conditions. The results reveal that the increase in power has little impact upon the general structure of the flow and that even the atmospheric results provide the basic structure associated with the actual conditions. This is attributed to the similarity in pressure drop for each of the cases considered. Increasing power does lead to a systematic reduction in drop size despite exceeding crossover points for the duplex atomizer used. This difference is attributed primarily to inlet temperature changes.

Abstract The characteristics of sprays from a recessed gas-centered swirl coaxial atomizer (RGCSCA) with gas to liquid momentum flux ratio, J of the spray in the range of 2–66 are studied experimentally through the analysis of spray morphologies and droplets characteristics. The process of fully developed spray (spray free from ligaments/droplets clusters and nonspherical droplets) in the atomizer is quantified. In the RGCSCA, the distance from the atomizer exit to the fully developed spray zone decreases with increase in J. Detailed measurements of size (in the range of 6–378 μm) and velocity (in the range of 35–176 m/s) characteristics of spray droplets are carried out using phase Doppler interferometry (PDI) in the fully developed spray. The spray from the RGCSCA is comprised of two distinct spray morphologies: a central dense spray of finer droplets and an outer coarse spray. The mean drop size of the central spray exhibits a decreasing trend with the increase in J whereas that of the outer coarse spray is independent of J. The radial profiles of the mean velocities of sprays at different J are presented. For the sprays with low inertia liquid sheets, the shape of mean axial velocity profiles is Gaussian.

Wetted Area

Spray impingement on smooth and heated surfaces is a highly complex thermofluid phenomenon present in several engineering applications. The combination of phase Doppler interferometry, high-speed visualization, and time-resolved infrared thermography allows characterizing the heat transfer and fluid dynamics involved. Particular emphasis is given to the use of nanofluids in sprays due to their potential to enhance the heat transfer mechanisms. The results for low nanoparticle concentrations (up to 1 wt.%) show that the surfactant added to water, required to stabilize the nanofluids and minimize particle clustering, affects the spray’s main characteristics. Namely, the surfactant decreases the liquid surface tension leading to a larger wetted area and wettability, promoting heat transfer between the surface and the liquid film. However, since lower surface tension also tends to enhance splash near the edges of the wetted area, the gold nanospheres act to lessen such disturbances due to an increase of the solutions’ viscosity, thus increasing the heat flux removed from the spray slightly. The experimental results obtained from this work demonstrate that the maximum heat convection coefficients evaluated for the nanofluids can be 9.8% to 21.9% higher than those obtained with the base fluid and 11.5% to 38.8% higher when compared with those obtained with DI water.

Logarithmic Growth

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.

Electrical And Magnetic Properties

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.

Strengthening Precipitate

A nickel-base superalloy is essentially a Ni/Cr solid solution hardened by additions of Al (Ti, Nb, etc.) to precipitate a coherent, ordered phase. In most commercial alloy systems, e.g. B-1900, IN-100 and Mar-M200, the stable precipitate is Ni3 (Al,Ti) γ′, with an LI2structure. In A lloy 901 the normal precipitate is metastable Nis Ti3 γ′ ; the stable phase is a hexagonal Do2 4 structure. In Alloy 718 the strengthening precipitate is metastable γ″, which has a body-centered tetragonal D022 structure.Precipitate MorphologyIn most systems the ordered γ′ phase forms by a continuous precipitation re-action, which gives rise to a uniform intragranular dispersion of precipitate particles. For zero γ/γ′ misfit, the γ′ precipitates assume a spheroidal.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.
