Perforated Plates have been used at large angles of incidence to produce drag forces and evidence on their properties has been published by de Bray. Less appears to be known about the drag forces on such surfaces at zero incidence, although they are usually considered to be aerodynamically rough. This has been confirmed by Ambrose, who carried out pipe flow experiments using perforated liners which fitted tightly in the bore of a pipe. Perforated plates used in this way do not allow flow completely through them and give “pitted” surfaces. If a perforated plate is mounted so that it is possible for cross flows to occur between the main flows on both sides of the plate the drag forces on it may be affected, and in this case the perforations will be referred to as “holes.”

Points Of View

The flow through porous screens has been widely studied from both the theoretical and experimental points of view. The most widely used types of screen are the wire mesh and the perforated plate, and the majority of the literature has been concerned with the former. Several attempts have been made to correlate the parameters governing the flow through such screens, i.e. the pressure drop, the flow conditions and the geometry of the mesh.

Geometrical Dimensions

The resonance frequencies of the flexural vibrations, input vibration excitability and acoustic radiation of the homogeneous and perforated plates were investigated. It is established that the average reduction range of the lower resonant frequency of flexural vibrations of the tested plates with the holes virtually coincides with the predictive estimate. The levels of the input vibration excitability of the perforated plate at the lower resonant frequencies exceeded the levels at the corresponding frequencies of the homogeneous plates greater than the calculated value. The levels of resonance acoustic radiation of the perforated plate were significantly less than of the homogeneous one.

Perforated plates are used in many mechanical structures in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, or chemical plants etc. Cylindrical structures made by the perforated plates are also found in many places. However, vibration characteristics of the structures made by perforated plates are not fully clarified, especially for the structures immersed in liquid. The stiffness of the structures becomes smaller than that of ones made by simple plates with no holes, while the mass of the structures also becomes smaller. According to the balance between the stiffness reduction and mass reduction, natural frequencies will be decided. Moreover, added mass and added damping effects are very large in liquid, and are thought to largely change due to holes. In this study, as a fundamental step, a perforated plate is treated. The vibration characteristics such as natural frequency and damping ratio are studied for various hole numbers or various opening ratios by both numerical simulations and simple test models. Vibration tests are conducted in liquid as well as in air.

Cryogenic and high-temperature systems often require compact heat exchangers with a high resistance to axial conduction in order to control the heat transfer induced by axial temperature differences. One attractive design for such applications is a perforated plate heat exchanger that utilizes high conductivity perforated plates to provide the stream-to-stream heat transfer and low conductivity spacers to prevent axial conduction between the perforated plates. This paper presents a numerical model of a perforated plate heat exchanger that accounts for axial conduction, external parasitic heat loads, variable fluid and material properties, and conduction to and from the ends of the heat exchanger. The numerical model is validated by experimentally testing several perforated plate heat exchangers that are fabricated using microelectromechanical systems based manufacturing methods. This type of heat exchanger was investigated for potential use in a cryosurgical probe. One of these heat exchangers included perforated plates with integrated platinum resistance thermometers. These plates provided in situ measurements of the internal temperature distribution in addition to the temperature, pressure, and flow rate measured at the inlet and exit ports of the device. The platinum wires were deposited between the fluid passages on the perforated plate and are used to measure the temperature at the interface between the wall material and the flowing fluid. The experimental testing demonstrates the ability of the numerical model to accurately predict both the overall performance and the internal temperature distribution of perforated plate heat exchangers over a range of geometry and operating conditions. The parameters that were varied include the axial length, temperature range, mass flow rate, and working fluid.

This paper examines the problem of maintaining the plane parameters of the working orbit of a small spacecraft using an electric propulsion engine. In low working orbits, due to the Earth’s atmosphere, a spacecraft is subjected to aerodynamic drag forces, which results in a decrease in the radius of the orbit and a potential termination of the useful target functioning. The time parameters of the cyclogram for maintaining the working orbit of a small spacecraft with an electric low thrust engine are analyzed taking into account the variability of the atmospheric density. The cyclogram consists of sections of the passive and active movement under the action of the low thrust engine. For the satellite under study, suitable thrust parameters of the electric engine are selected, which allow the correction of the plane parameters of the low orbit. Using the characteristics of the thrust and specific impulse of the electric jet engine, fuel reserves for correction over a long period of time are calculated. The results of the analysis confirm the effectiveness of the electric propulsion engine in terms of fuel consumption for correction.

The present study is conducted to investigate the local heat/mass transfer characteristics for flow through perforated plates. A naphthalene sublimation method is employed to determine the local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the effusion plate. Two parallel perforated plates are arranged in two different configurations: staggered and shifted in one direction. The experiments are conducted for hole pitch-to-diameter ratios of 6.0, for gap distance between the perforated plates of 0.33 to 10 hole diameters, and for Reynolds numbers of 5,000 to 12,000. The result shows that the high transfer region is formed at stagnation region and at the mid-line of the adjacent impinging jets due to secondary vortices and flow acceleration to the effusion hole. For flows through the perforated plates, the mass transfer rates on the surface of the effusion plate are about six to ten times higher than for effusion cooling alone (single perforated plate). In general, higher heat/mass transfer is obtained with smaller gap distance between two perforated plates.

A laboratory study evaluated the physical and aerodynamic properties of lavender cultivars in relation to the design of an improved lavender harvester that allows removal of flowers from the stem using the stripping method. The identification of the flower head adhesion, stem breakage, and aerodynamic drag forces were conducted using an Instron 1122 instrument. Measurements on five lavender cultivars at harvest moisture content showed that the overall mean flower detachment force from the stem was 11.2 N, the mean stem tensile strength was 36.7 N, and the calculated mean ultimate tensile stress of the stem was 17.3 MPa. The aerodynamic measurements showed that the drag force is related with the flower surface area. Increasing the surface area of the flower head by 93% of the “Hidcote” cultivar produced an increase in drag force of between 24.8% and 50.6% for airflow rates of 24 and 65 m s−1, respectively. The terminal velocities of the flower heads of the cultivar ranged between 4.5 and 5.9 m s−1, which results in a mean drag coefficient of 0.44. The values of drag coefficients were compatible with well-established values for the appropriate Reynolds numbers.
