Aerodynamics of indirect thrust measurement by the impulse method

The aerodynamic aspects of indirect thrust measurement by the impulse method have been studied both experimentally and numerically. The underlying basic aerodynamic principle is outlined, the phenomena in subsonic, supersonic and arc-heated jets are explored, and factors affecting the accuracy of the method are studied and discussed. Results show that the impulse method is reliable for indirect thrust measurement if certain basic requirements are met, and a simple guideline for its proper application is given.     

Convective boiling in a parallel microchannel heat sink with a diverging cross section and artificial nucleation sites

To develop a highly stable microchannel heat sink for boiling heat transfer, three types of diverging microchannels (Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3) were designed to experimentally investigate the effect of different distributions of artificial nucleation sites (ANS) on the enhancement of flow boiling heat transfer, in 10 parallel diverging microchannels with a mean hydraulic diameter of 120 μm. Water was used as the working fluid with mass flux, based on the mean cross section area, ranging from 99 to 297 kg/m² s. The Type-1 system did not contain any ANS; the Type-2 system contained ANS distributed uniformly along the downstream half of the channel; and the Type-3 system contained ANS distributed uniformly along the entire channel. The ANS are laser-etched pits on the bottom wall of the channel and have a mouth diameter of approximately 20-22 μm, as indicted by the heterogeneous nucleation theory. The results of the present study reveal that the presence of ANS for flow boiling in parallel diverging microchannels significantly reduces the wall superheat and enhances the boiling heat transfer performance. The Type-3 system shows the best boiling heat transfer performance.

On the boundedness of rough oscillatory singular integrals on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

We obtain appropriate sharp bounds on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for rough oscillatory integrals with polynomial phase. By using these bounds and using an extrapolation argument we obtain some new and previously known results for oscillatory integrals under very weak size conditions on the kernel functions.     

Anti-periodic solution for delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects

In this paper, we discuss anti-periodic solution for delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects. By means of contraction mapping principle and Krasnoselski’s fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of anti-periodic solution for neural networks. By establishing a new impulsive differential inequality, using Lyapunov functions and inequality techniques, some new results for exponential stability of anti-periodic solution are obtained. Meanwhile, an example and numerical simulations are given to show that impulses may change the exponentially stable behavior of anti-periodic solution.     

Bayesian planning of step‐stress accelerated degradation tests under various optimality criteria

Step‐stress accelerated degradation testing (SSADT) has become a common approach to predicting lifetime for highly reliable products that are unlikely to fail in a reasonable time under use conditions or even elevated stress conditions. In literature, the planning of SSADT has been widely investigated for stochastic degradation processes, such as Wiener processes and gamma processes. In this paper, we model the optimal SSADT planning problem from a Bayesian perspective and optimize test plans by determining both stress levels and the allocation of inspections. Large‐sample approximation is used to derive the asymptotic Bayesian utility functions under 3 planning criteria. A revisited LED lamp example is presented to illustrate our method. The comparison with optimal plans from previous studies demonstrates the necessity of considering the stress levels and inspection allocations simultaneously.     

Corporate social responsibility: How much is enough? A higher dimension perspective of the relationship between financial and social performance

We investigate the nature of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance (CFP) by examining how it changes across a third dimension that accounts for firm-specific factors. We propose a semi-latent specification of an endogenous control variable, which can, for the first time, explicitly identify, for each individual firm, the threshold level where the marginal impact of CSR on CFP turns positive. We provide empirical evidence that this threshold depends on the additional dimension and consequently, the previously reported U-shape seems to be an aggregation of relationships of differential magnitude and direction. This disaggregation fits the data better and therefore, we maintain that the addition of a higher dimension, along with the identification of the threshold level, can explain the conflicting results in the literature.
