Length To Diameter Ratio

Yields and quality of witloof chicory are often low when roots are forced following several months storage or when forced at high temperatures. A technique was developed to improve the yield and quality of the chicons forced hydroponically and a method developed to determine the rates of respiration and ethylene production during the application of the technique. The technique involves the use of a resilient material (polyurethane) combined with the application of pressure to the developing chicons. Marketable yields and density of `Faro' and `Bea' chicons increased with increasing pressure applied. Increasing pressure also resulted in a significant decrease in the length to diameter ratio of chicons, an indicator of improved quality. Mechanical pressure resulted in a 3 to 4 fold greater increase in ethylene production than the control. Respiration rate increased to about twice that of the control after 10 days forcing and thereafter declined slightly. The technique provides a tool for improving economic yields of hydroponically forced witloof chicory. A possible physiological explanation for the technique is provided.

Length To Diameter Ratio

Flame propagation in a closed pipe with diameter 0.1 m and 5.1 m long, as well as length to diameter ratio (L/D) of 51, was studied experimentally. Hydrogen/air, acetylene/air and methane/air with stoichiometric concentration were used to observe the trend of flame propagation throughout the pipe. Experimental work was carried out at operating condition: pressure 1 atm and temperature 273 K. Results showed that all fuels are having a consistent trend of flame propagation in one-half of the total pipe length in which the acceleration is due to the piston-like effect. Beyond the point, fuel reactivity and tulip phenomenon were considered to lead the flame being quenched and decrease the overpressures drastically. The maximum overpressure for all fuels are approximately 1.5, 7, 8.5 barg for methane, hydrogen, and acetylene indicating that acetylene explosion is more severe.

Length To Diameter Ratio

The flow past circular cylinders of finite length, supported at one end and lying with their axes perpendicular to a uniform stream, has been investigated in a supersonic stream at Mach number 1.96 and also in a low-speed stream. In both stream it was found that the flow past the cylinders could be divided into three regions: (a) a central region, (b) that near the free end of the cylinder, and (c) that near the supported end. The locations of the second and third regions were found to be almost independent of the cylinder length-to-diameter ratio, provided that this exceeded 4, while the flow within and the extent of the first region were dependent on this ratio. Form-drag coefficients determined in the central region in the supersonic flow were in close agreement with the values determined at the same Mach number by other workers. In the low-speed flow the local form-drag coefficients were dependent on length-to-diameter ratio and were always less than that of an infinite-length cylinder at the same Reynolds number.

The paper analyzes the influence of structural parameters on the electrical performance of the microstructured environmentally-friendly electrical contact material Ag/SnO2 by using numerical simulation method.The numerical results show that the reisitivity of fiber-like electrical contact material Ag/SnO2 is significantly reduced compared with the resistivity of Ag/SnO2 adding reinforcing nanoparticles in the traditional way.So the fiber-like electrical contact material Ag/SnO2 exhibits higher conductivity in macro. On further analysis, we learn that the resistivity of fibrous electrical contact materials is related to weight percent of reinforced phase, and micro-structural parameter of length to diameter ratio. The resistivity increases as weight percent of reinforced phase increases,and decreases non-linearly with micro-structural parameter of length to diameter ratio increasing.This demonstrates that numerical simulation is one of effective methods for analysis of the electrical performance of the microstructured electrical contact material.

Length To Diameter Ratio

In this study, we proposed a method for calculating the sonic conductance of a short-tube orifice. First, we derived a formula for calculating the sonic conductance based on a continuity equation, a momentum equation and the definition of flow-rate characteristics. The flow-rate characteristics of different orifices were then measured using the upstream constant-pressure test method in ISO 6358. Based on these test data, the theoretical formula was simplified using the least squares fitting method, the accuracy of which was verified experimentally. Finally, the effects of the diameter ratio, the length-to-diameter ratio and the critical pressure ratio were analysed with reference to engineering applications, and a simplified formula was derived. We conclude that the influence of the diameter ratio is greater than that of the length-to-diameter ratio. When the length-to-diameter ratio is <5, its effect can be neglected. The critical pressure ratio has little effect on the sonic conductance of a short-tube orifice, and it can be set to 0.5 when calculating the sonic conductance in engineering applications. The formula proposed in this study is highly accurate with a mean error of <3%.
