The influence of the exchange of heat between a gas flowing through a tube and the outside atmosphere on the pressure in the gas stream is usually overlooked. Theoretical investigations show, however, that this influence is marked in the case of large stream velocities, approximating the velocity of sound. In addition, the theory permits us to state that the heat exchange is possible only when the stream velocity is maintained beyond certain limits. For stream velocities within these limits, heat exchange is not possible.The conclusion is reached that the velocity of flow in the tube, if the tube is heated or cooled, shows a natural and permanent tendency to reach the velocity of sound, after which the heat exchange is no longer possible.Finally, this theoretical investigation shows that the present view that the heat conductance coefficient increases continually with the stream velocity is wrong. This coefficient will be equal to zero when the stream velocity reaches the velocity of sound. This means that it will reach a certain maximum value corresponding to a value of stream velocity which is not exactly known but which will be less than that of sound.

Abstract Flow patterns for compressible fluids at supersonic velocities are discussed, and it is shown that shock fronts form when neighboring Mach lines (envelopes of wave fronts originating from point disturbances) intersect. A criterion for divergence of Mach lines is developed for cases in which the passage is symmetrical in two or three dimensions and has a straight axis. This criterion is used as the basis for designing supersonic nozzles and diffusers. The analysis indicates that only a nozzle of infinite length can discharge a parallel stream into a tube of constant cross section without the formation of shock fronts. Methods are presented for designing nozzles of finite length, with the intensity of shock fronts reduced to as small a value as possible, and it is shown that nozzles of reasonable length may be designed so that shock fronts are insignificant. Experimental observations indicate that the proposed method of nozzle design is a practical one. With regard to supersonic diffusers having a straight axis, it is shown that shock fronts cannot be avoided, even though the diffuser is of infinite length. However, the methods of this paper may be used as an aid in determining the best diffuser design.

The excitation curve for the reaction Th232 (n,2n) Th231 has been measured by the activation method from the threshold energy, 6.34 Mev, to 20.4 Mev, relative to the known cross section for the S32 (n,p)P32 reaction. Monoenergetic neutrons were obtained from the D (d,n) He3 and T (d,n) He4 reactions employing a Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. From threshold to 9.0 Mev, the (n,2n) cross section rises rapidly, reaching its maximum value of 1.88 ± 0.09 barns in the region of 9.5 to 11.0 Mev. Above 11.5 Mev the (n,2n) cross section decreases due to competition of the (n,3n) and (n,2nf) reactions and at 20.4 Mev it has a value of 0.225 ± 0.015 barns.

Seaplanes are aircraft that can take off and landing on water. A seaplane’s requirement is its need to take off and landing on watery conditions which is equipped with a pontoon. Pontoon of a seaplane needs to be evaluated in terms of aerodynamics characteristics when a seaplane flies. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation of various geometric combinations of deadrise angle, step height, and constant cross-section length with the values of coefficient of drag (CD), coefficient of lift (CL) and coefficient of moment (CM). The methodology was carried out by simulating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using OpenFOAM software. The results of this study could be concluded that deadrise angle affected coefficient of drag (CD), coefficient of lift (CL) and coefficient of moment (CM) with each value of 0.0055, 0.0044, -0.0036, while step height didn’t influence significantly on coefficient of drag (CD) and didn’t affect coefficient of lift (CL) and coefficient of moment (CM). Constant cross-section length didn’t affect significantly on coefficient of drag (CD) and coefficient of lift (CL) but increasing constant cross-section length increased coefficient of moment (CM) with a value of -0.0039.

Cross sections for the reactions 65Cu (n, 2n)64Cu, 65Cu(n, p)65Ni, and 65Cu(n, nα)61Co have been measured by the activation method from threshold energies up to 20.2 MeV. The measurements are relative to the known cross section for the reaction 32S(n, p)32P. The (n, 2n) cross-section curve increases smoothly with energy and reaches a maximum value of 1 085 ± 60 mb at about 18 MeV. The (n, p) reaction reaches a maximum value of 21.7 ± 1.2 mb at 13.9 MeV. The (n, nα) reaction has a minimum detectable value of 0.3 ± 0.1 mb near 14 MeV and increases to a value of 18.9 ± 0.9 mb at 19.8 MeV. Effective cross-section values for a fission-neutron spectrum calculated from these results are 0.251 ± 0.018 mb for the (n, 2n) reaction and 0.523 ± 0.030 mb for the (n, p) reaction.

In this study, the seismic behavior of the concrete shear wall considering the opening with different shapes and constant cross-section has been studied, and for this purpose, several shear walls are placed under the increasingly non-linear static analysis (Pushover). These case studies modeled in 3D Abaqus Software, and the results of the ductility coefficient, hardness, energy absorption, added resistance, the final shape, and the final resistance are compared to shear walls without opening.

The general problem of condensation in a variable acceleration field was investigated analytically. The case of the linear variation, which occurs in a constant cross section, rotating thermosyphon, was treated in detail. The results show that the condensate thickness and Nusselt numbers approach limiting values as the radial distance increases. The effects of the temperature differential and the Prandtl number are similar to those in other condensation problems; i.e., the heat transfer increases slightly with increasing temperature differential if Pr > 1, but it decreases with increasing temperature differential if Pr ≪ 1.

We develop a lubrication type model of a liquid flow in a wedge in the limit of small capillary numbers and negligible gravity. The model incorporates the effects of capillary pressure gradients and evaporation. Steady vapor-liquid interface shapes are found for a range of parameters. In the limit of weak evaporation the flow is the same in all cross-sections and can be controlled by changing the wedge angle. We find the wedge angle that results in the maximum value of the flow rate for a given contact angle. For high evaporation rates, both the flow rate and the amount of liquid in each cross-section along the wedge decrease until the point of dry-out is reached. The location of the dry-out point is studied as a function of evaporation. Practical suggestions about optimization of micro heat pipes are given.

This paper considers the effect of continuous convection from small sources of buoyancy on the properties of the environment when the region of interest is bounded. The main assumptions are that the entrainment into the turbulent buoyant region is at a rate proportional to the local mean upward velocity, and that the buoyant elements spread out at the top of the region and become part of the non-turbulent environment at that level. Asymptotic solutions, valid at large times, are obtained for the cases of plumes from point and line sources and also periodically released thermals. These all have the properties that the environment is stably stratified, with the density profile fixed in shape, changing at a uniform rate in time at all levels, and everywhere descending (with ascending buoyant elements).The analysis is carried out in detail for the point source in an environment of constant cross-section. Laboratory experiments have been conducted for this case, and these verify the major predictions of the theory. It is then shown how the method can be extended to include more realistic starting conditions for the convection, and a general shape of bounded environment. Finally, the model is applied quantitatively to a variety of problems in engineering, the atmosphere and the ocean, and the limitations on its use are discussed.


A kink on a dislocation in an isotropic elastic medium is treated as a 'point defect’ with a certain mass, constrained to move along a line and subject to a radiation reaction. A value for the mass is obtained from the well know n stretched-string model, and the radiation reaction is found by calculating the rate at which an oscillating kink radiates energy into the medium . It is found that the kink has a scattering cross-section for elastic waves which i§ proportional to the square of its width. For long waves the cross-section is independent of frequency, in contrast to the case of ordinary point defects. A kink moving through an isotropic flux of elastic waves experiences a retarding force proportional to the product of its velocity and the energy density of the waves. In connexion with a similar result for the retarding force on a dislocation moving rigidly it has been suggested that the expression for the energy density should include the zero-point energy. A formal quantum -mechanical calculation shows that this is not so in the case of a kink.
