New Pool Boiling Heat Transfer in the Presence of Low-Frequency Vibrations Into a Vertical Cylindrical Heat Source

A vertical cylinder was applied as a heat source into a water pool; the vibrations were imposed into the heater with different heat fluxes, and the frequencies were adjusted at 10, 15, 20, and 25 Hz. An imaging system was employed to observe the produced bubbles around the cylindrical heat source. The results showed that the boiling heat transfer was enhanced under the vibrations with a shorter transient process, and the wall temperature also decreased. The best enhancement ratio was achieved at the frequency of 25 Hz and a heat flux value of 30 kW/m² as a consequence of imposed vibrations.     

METHODS OF HEAT LOSS MEASUREMENT FOR A THERMOHYDRAULIC FACILITY

Three methods, using different thermal transients, are proposed to measure the heat loss of a thermohydraulic facility. They can he used for loop-type facilities, with circulation pumps, and for vessel-type facilities, with fluid at saturation. The analysis of uncertainties of the measurement results can help to design a heat loss experiment for a specific application. Examples are presented of heat loss measurements at the LOBI-MOD2 facility, which is an integral system thermohydraulic test facility for safety investigations of pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants.     

WALL CONDUCTION EFFECT ON THE ONSET OF THERMAL INSTABILITY IN HORIZONTAL RECTANGULAR CHANNELS

The effect of peripheral thermal conduction in the bottom wall on the onset of thermal instability in the thermal entrance region of horizontal, rectangular, bottom-uniform-heated channels was studied by experiment and theoretical simulation. The predicted results of the onset of thermal instability for the cases of uniform peripheral wall heat flux are in agreement with the published experimental data, but the predicted results for the cases of uniform peripheral wall temperature exceed the previous data by about an order of magnitude. The present experimental data reconfirm the present predictions. The effect of increasing the peripheral wall conduction is shown to stabilize the flow.     

Analytical formulas for calculating photoelectric attenuation coefficients

Photoelectric absorption is an interaction in which an incoming gamma ray virtually transfers all of its energy to an atomic electron, usually the most tightly bound K-shell electron of an atom. This paper uses the Win XCOM computer code as a reference base. We found analytical photoelectric attenuation coefficients for researchers using the Monte Carlo simulation program for Z∈ [1; 100] and E∈[10 keV; 3 MeV]. We define a photoelectric effect operator and coefficient operators and a series for photoelectric absorption. We have calculated two polynomial coefficient operators for use with XCOM for photoelectric absorption. We determined 14 energies and atomic number limits for elements, and we find that they are accurate limits of photoelectric absorption for fitting with XCOM.     

The arithmetic fourier transform and the visual pathway

The Arithmetic Fourier Transform is an algorithm for the computation of Fourier coefficients. In this paper it is extended to the computation of double Fourier coefficients by a repeated sum. We discuss the relevance of the repeated sum algorithm to signal processing by neurons in the visual pathway.     

A Short Note on Containment of Cores

We show that the operation of taking the core of an ideal does not preserve inclusions.     

A Lower Bound on the Second Fiber Coefficient of the Fiber Cones

Let (R, 𝔪) be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring of dimension d > 0, I an 𝔪-primary ideal of R and K an ideal containing I. When depth G(I) ≥ d ? 1 and r(I | K) < ∞, we present a lower bound on the second fiber coefficient of the fiber cones, and also provide a characterization, in terms of f ₂(I, K), of the condition depth F _K (I) ≥ d ? 1.
