This paper presents an experimental study of turbulent buoyant jets discharged vertically through a single circular submerged pipe into a large body of stagnant nonstratified water of finite depth. The experiments were carried out in laboratory facilities consisting of a closed system capable of maintaining steady-state conditions. The temperature characteristics of a hot rising plume were obtained, for numerous flows, as a function of discharge Froude number and discharge depth. The governing equations to predict jet characteristics are also presented, using an integral approach. A computer was used for reduction of experimental data and the numerical solution to the governing equations. The experimental and theoretical results compared favorably.

Buoyant Discharges

The results of an experimental study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are compared to the predictions of a theory treating the dilution of merging multiple-port buoyant jets discharge from a row of equally spaced ports. The paper summarizes the considerable alteration of the Hirst [11] model necessary to adequately treat merging multiple jets. The essential features of the analysis are: (1) the gradual transition of the profiles from simple axisymmetric profiles to merging profiles and finally to fully merged, pseudo-slot, two-dimensional profiles, and (2) an entrainment based on the available entrainment surface. Results indicate that the overprediction of plume characteristics associated with certain other models as compared to experimental data may be overcome using such an analysis and that suitable prediction may be obtained.

An integral method is presented for determining effects of buoyancy due to heat release on the properties of reacting jets and plumes. This method avoids the Morton entrainment hypothesis entirely, and thus removes the ad hoc ‘entrainment modelling’ required in most other integral approaches. We develop the integral equation for the local centreline velocity uc(x), which allows modelling in terms of the local flow width δ (x). In both the momentum-dominated jet limit and buoyancy-dominated plume limit, dimensional arguments show δ (x) ≈ x, and experimental data show the proportionality factor cδ to remain constant between these limits. The entrainment modelling required in traditional integral methods is thus replaced by the observed constant cδ value in the present method. In non-reacting buoyant jets, this new integral approach provides an exact solution for uc(x) that shows excellent agreement with experimental data, and gives simple expressions for the virtual origins of jets, plumes and buoyant jets. In the exothermically reacting case, the constant cδ value gives an expression for the buoyancy flux B(x) that allows the integral equation for uc(x) to be solved for arbitrary exit conditions. The resulting uc(x) determines the local mass, momentum and buoyancy fluxes throughout the flow, as well as the centreline mixture fraction ζc(x) and thus the flame length L. The latter provides the proper parameters Ω andΛ that determine buoyancy effects on the flame, and provides power-law scalings in the momentum-dominated and buoyancy-dominated limits. Comparisons with buoyant flame data show excellent agreement over a wide range of conditions.

The mechanical behavior of multi-cracks under compression has become a very important project in the field of fracture mechanics and rock mechanics. In this paper, based on the previous theoretical results of the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, experiment study is implemented. The specimens are square plates and are made of cement, sand and water, and the cracks are made by using a very thin film (0.1 mm). The relations of material compressive strength versus crack spacing and the lateral confining stress are obtained from experimental results. The experimental results agree well with the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, which indicates that the criterion is effective and applicable.

In this paper, the requirements for an accurate 3D model of the tooth contact-line load distribution in real spur gears are summarized. The theoretical results (obtained by F.E.M.) for the point load compliance of wide-faced spur gear teeth are set out. These values compare well with experimental data obtained from tests on a large spur gear (18 mm module, 18 teeth).

Good Agreement

According to several known experiments, an increase of the incoming flow air content can increase the hydrofoil lift coefficient. The presented theoretical study shows that such increase is associated with the decrease of the fluid density at the cavity surface. This decrease is caused by entrainment of air bubbles to the cavity from the surrounding flow. The theoretical results based on such explanation are in a good agreement with the earlier published experimental data for NACA0015.

Theoretical Results

In CdS/CdTe solar cells, chemical interdiffusion at the interface gives rise to the formation of an interlayer of the ternary compoundCdSxCdTe1-x. In this work, we evaluate the effects of this interlayer in CdS/CdTe photovoltaic cells in order to improve theoretical results describing experimentalC-V(capacitance versus voltage) characteristics. We extended our previous theoretical methodology developed on the basis of three cardinal equations (Castillo-Alvarado et al., 2010). The present results provide a better fit to experimental data obtained from CdS/CdTe solar cells grown in our laboratory by the chemical bath deposition (for CdS film) and the close-spaced vapor transport (for CdTe film) techniques.

Brittle Fracture Criteria

Abstract The increasing application of composite materials in the construction of machines causes strong need for modelling and evaluating their strength. There are many well known hypotheses used for homogeneous materials subjected to monotone and cyclic loading conditions, which have been verified experimentally by various authors. These hypotheses should be verified also for composite materials. This paper provides experimental and theoretical results of such verifications for bimaterial structures with interfacial cracks. Three well known fracture hypotheses of: Griffith, McClintock and Novozhilov were chosen. The theoretical critical load values arising from each hypotheses were compared with the experimental data including uni and multi-axial loading conditions. All tests were carried out with using specially prepared specimens of steel and PMMA.
