Using steady flow of air/water at low mass ratios, choking was obtained in short pipes by reducing the back pressure well below atmospheric pressure. Variation of flow parameters affected the choked mass flow-rate, but showed no appreciable effect on the flow pattern; this remained annular with air/water mixture on the outside and water in the core of the pipe.

Heat transfer coefficients were investigated for saturated nucleate pool boiling of binary mixtures of water and glycerin at atmospheric pressure in a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. Mixtures with water mass fractions from 100% to 40% were boiled on a horizontal flat copper surface at heat fluxes from about 25 up to 270kWm−2. Experiments were carried out by static and dynamic method of measurement. Results of the static method show that the impact of mixture effects on heat transfer coefficient cannot be neglected and ideal heat transfer coefficient has to be corrected for all investigated concentrations and heat fluxes. Experimental data are correlated with the empirical correlation α=0.59q0.714+0.130ωw with mean relative error of 6%. Taking mixture effects into account, data are also successfully correlated with the combination of Stephan and Abdelsalam (1980) and Schlünder (1982) correlations with mean relative error of about 15%. Recommended coefficients of Schlünder correlation C0=1 and βL=2×10−4ms−1 were found to be acceptable for all investigated mixtures. The dynamic method was developed for fast measurement of heat transfer coefficients at continuous change of composition of boiling mixture. The dynamic method was tested for water–glycerin mixtures with water mass fractions from 70% down to 35%. Results of the dynamic method were found to be comparable with the static method. For water–glycerin mixtures with higher water mass fractions, precise temperature measurements are needed.

abstract The performance of long-period seismographs is often seriously degraded by atmospheric pressure variation; the problem is particularly severe at periods greater than 20 sec. The pressure variations associated with wind-generated turbulence and acoustic waves are sufficient to deform the surface of the Earth, thus adding to the background noise level recorded by the seismometer. If microbarographs are operated together with the seismograph system, a large percentage of the atmospherically generated noise can be eliminated by the use of optimum filters. The filters are designed based on the least-mean-squares criterion, with the seismograph time trace as the desired output and the microbarographs as the inputs. Single-channel filters, using only one microbarograph, located at the seismometer vault are used to attenuate wind-generated noise. In order to attenuate the noise on windless days from other pressure sources, multichannel filtering is usually necessary and therefore an array of microbarographs is required. The filters used to predict the wind-generated noise are shown to be stable despite the complicated source. The performance of the multichannel varies widely depending on the structure of pressure variations predominating in the atmosphere.

Towards the establishment of traceability in sound power in airborne sound, the present study focuses on the dissemination procedure. Aerodynamic reference sound sources were studied as potential transfer standards. Initially, the sources were examined in the up-to-present requirements. The core of the study is the correction required for the transition from calibration to in situ conditions. The influence of atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature and fan rotation speed was investigated and the corresponding correction was determined. A comparison to an existing correction was also performed. Near field effects were another part of the study. The related uncertainty was estimated in a transparent approach. The dependency of the uncertainty on the in situ and calibration condition values is also presented.

AbstractWe report on first results of computing synthetic spectra from H/He-poor accretion disks in ultracompact LMXBs. We aim at the determination of the chemical composition of the very low-mass donor star, which is the core of a former C/O white dwarf. The abundance analysis allows to draw conclusions on gravitational settling in WDs which is an important process affecting cooling times and pulsational g-mode periods.

AbstractThe first stellar generation in galactic globular clusters contained massive low-metallicity stars (Charbonnel et al. 2014). We modelled the evolution of this massive stellar population and found that such stars with masses 100-600 M⊙ evolve into cool RSGs (Szécsi et al. 2015). These RSGs spend not only the core-He-burning phase but even the last few 105 years of the core-H-burning phase on the SG branch. Due to the presence of hot massive stars in the cluster at the same time, we show that the RSG wind is trapped into photoionization confined shells (Mackey et al. 2014). We simulated the shell formation around such RSGs and find them to become gravitationally unstable (Szécsi et al. 2016). We propose a scenario in which these shells are responsible for the formation of the second generation low-mass stars in globular clusters with anomalous surface abundances.

Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP(K30)) / Bisphenol A Dicyanate ester (BADCy) blends were fabricated to increase the toughness of BADCy by blending processing in this paper. Curing parameters were determined by gelation time curves and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the systems. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and DSC data were employed to show the curing behavior and kinetics of the systems. Mechanical properties of the cured resin had been improved rapidly with the increasing of PVP(K30) at low mass fraction, but would decrease when mass fractions of PVP(K30) were higher than 15%. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) was applied to show the microstructures of the cured matrixes. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves, water absorption curves, SEM images and dielectric properties of the blends, it can be concluded that the addition of PVP(K30) can improve the toughness of BADCy greatly with little loss of other properties.
