A computational method has been proposed for calculating the correct interaction parameters from experimental phase diagrams, despite reports that this problem was believed to be a "thermodynamically incorrect” one. It has been shown that the presumed difficulties are not of fundamental importance. An original computer program has been applied to two well-known systems Bi – Sb (1) and Bi2Te3 – Sb2Te3 (2), and a good agreement between calculated and observed values has been achieved. The values of interaction parameters s= 7.1 ± 0.4, l= 1.56 ± 0.09 kJ mol-1 for (1) and s = 5.9 ± 2.5, l = 3.9 ± 2.5 kJ mol-1 for (2) have been found. The results have been analyzed and their statistical reliability has been established. In addition, the possibilities of calculating the liquidus curve from only the solidus experimental data the solidus from the liquidus experimental data have been demonstrated. It has been found that the prediction of liquidus from solidus is much more successful than predicting the solidus from the liquidus. The results allow one to determine with reliance that the backward problem of modeling regular solutions for finding thermodynamic interaction parameters can be solved correctly. The calculated parameters can be used for both the computational restoration of missing pieces of the experimental phase equilibrium diagrams of binary and multinary systems and for the recognition of the physical nature of regular solutions.

Cavitation within regions of flow separation appears in drifting vortices. A two-part computational method is employed for prediction of cavitation inception number there. The first part is an analysis of the average flow in separation regions without consideration of an impact of vortices. The second part is an analysis of equilibrium of the bubble within the core of a vortex located in the turbulent flow of known average characteristics. Computed cavitation inception numbers for axisymmetric flows are in the good agreement with the known experimental data.

In Part 1, a computational method was described for predicting the performance of pivoted pad thrust bearings. In this second part, computed results are compared with experimental data. Three test cases are considered, which cover the range of bearing sizes normally encountered in practice, from a 150 mm diameter laboratory scale experiment through the main propulsion thrust bearings of a destroyer to a 3 m diameter bearing. Generally good agreement is obtained for both temperatures and film thicknesses.

The development of low-emission aero-engine combustors strongly depends on the availability of accurate and efficient numerical models. The prediction of the interaction between two-phase flow and chemical combustion is one of the major objectives of the simulation of combustor flows. In this paper, predictions of a swirl stabilized model combustor are compared to experimental data. The computational method is based on an Eulerian two-phase model in conjunction with an eddy dissipation (ED) and a presumed-shape-PDF (JPDF) combustion model. The combination of an Eulerian two-phase model with a JPDF combustion model is a novelty. It was found to give good agreement to the experimental data.

In this paper, a thermodynamic re-assessment of the Al-Sn-Zn ternary system was performed by means of the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) approach. The thermodynamic descriptions of the binary Al-Sn, Al-Zn, and Sn-Zn systems from the literature were directly adopted, and the newly reported experimental phase equilibria, enthalpies of mixing, and activities of Al in the ternary liquid phase were taken into account. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for the ternary Al-Sn-Zn system were finally obtained. A comprehensive comparison between the presently calculated phase equilibria/thermodynamic properties and the experimental data indicates that the present thermodynamic descriptions of the ternary Al-Sn-Zn system show very good agreement with most of the experimental data. The further direct comparison with the calculated results due to the previous assessment demonstrates that a significant improvement was achieved by the present assessment though fewer ternary interaction parameters were utilized.

In this paper, the rotor-stator interaction in an axial hydraulic turbine is studied with the help of a 2D test case and validation with experimental data. The computational method is presented in the first part of the paper along with the results from the shedding flow behind a square cylinder to investigate a numerical interface between non-matching meshes. The turbulent kinetic energy budget and the centerline velocity past the interface are analyzed and compared with literature. In the second part of the paper, knowledge gained from the 2D test case is applied to 3D simulation of a hydraulic turbine model. Potential interactions are studied using FFT of the time signal on different positions upstream and downstream of a sliding mesh interface. The wake dissipation is investigated for several meridional positions downstream of the turbine guide vanes. The numerical flow field is compared against 2D-LDV experimental measurements at the runner outlet. Numerical results are in good agreement with experimental data.

The energy states for the J , b , ɤ bands and electromagnetic transitions B (E2) values for even – even molybdenum 90 – 94 Mo nuclei are calculated in the present work of "the interacting boson model (IBM-1)" . The parameters of the equation of IBM-1 Hamiltonian are determined which yield the best excellent suit the experimental energy states . The positive parity of energy states are obtained by using IBS1. for program for even 90 – 94 Mo isotopes with bosons number 5 , 4 and 5 respectively. The" reduced transition probability B(E2)" of these neuclei are calculated and compared with the experimental data . The ratio of the excitation energies of the 41+ to 21+ states ( R4/2) are also calculated . The calculated and experimental (R4/2) values showed that the 90 – 94 Mo nuclei have the vibrational dynamical symmetry U(5). Good agreement was found from comparison between the calculated energy states and electric quadruple probabilities B(E2) transition of the 90–94Mo isotopes with the experimental data .

Abstract An analytical tool is presented for the prediction of the effects of changes in tread pattern design on thick film wet traction performance. Results are reported for studies in which the analysis, implemented on a digital computer, was used to determine the effect of different tread geometry features, among these being the number, width, and lateral spacing of longitudinal grooves and the angle of zigzags in longitudinal grooves, on thick film wet traction. These results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental data appearing in the literature and are used to formulate guidelines for tread groove network design practice.

In this paper we derived a new condition of formation and stability of all crystalline systems and we checked its validity andit is found to be in a good agreement with experimental data. This condition is derived directly from the quantum conditionson the free electron Fermi gas inside the crystal. The new condition relates both the volume of Fermi sphere VF andvolume of Brillouin zone VB by the valence electron concentration VEC as ;𝑽𝑭𝑽𝑩= 𝒏𝑽𝑬𝑪𝟐for all crystalline systems (wheren is the number of atoms per lattice point).

An investigation was undertaken on the removal of a model virus, bacterial virus MS2 against Escherichia coli, by sand filtration using untreated, and alum or cationic polyelectrolyte treated media, and uncoagulated as well as alum coagulated influent. Data on discrete virus removal were satisfactorily accounted for by electrokinetic phenomena and diffusion. For virus in association with turbidity, filter coefficients computed from experimental data were in good agreement with those predicted by mechanical straining and gravity settling which were the dominant mechanisms for removal of the turbidity particles to which the viruses attached.
