In this article, an extreme environment-capable temperature sensing system based on state-of-art silicon carbide (SiC) wireless electronics is presented. In conjunction with a Pt-Pb thermocouple, the SiC wireless sensor suite is operable at 450 °C while under centrifugal load greater than 1,000 g. This SiC wireless temperature sensing system is designed to be non-intrusively embedded inside the...

Visual input is remarkably diverse. Certain sensory inputs are more probable than others, mirroring statistical regularities of the visual environment. The visual system exploits many of these regularities, resulting, on average, in better inferences about visual stimuli. However, by incorporating prior knowledge into perceptual decisions, visual processing can also result in perceptions that d...

Within microfluidic technologies, the centrifugal “Lab-on-a-Disc” (LoaD) platform offers great potential for use at PoC and in low-resource settings due to its robustness ability port miniaturize ‘wet bench’ laboratory protocols. We present combination of ‘event-triggered dissolvable film valves’ with a centrifugo-pneumatic siphon structure enable control timing, through changes disc spin-speed...

Existing experimental and theoretical studies are discussed which lead to the clear hypothesis of a hitherto unidentified convective instability mode that dominates within the boundary-layer flow over slender rotating cones. The mode manifests as Görtlertype counter-rotating spiral vortices, indicative of a centrifugal mechanism. Although a formulation consistent with the classic rotating-disk ...

The rate of solidification affects the microstructure, quality and mechanical properties of the castings. The analysis of heat transfer in centrifugal casting is very complex due to rapid solidification, rotating mould, opaque mould and high temperature. As the grain size is directly depending on the rate of solidification of the casting, based on grain size the rate of solidification of the ce...

When sealing liquids with magnetic fluid, the interfacial stability problem caused by interaction between fluid and sealed liquid leads to poor performance. Centrifugal force is generated rotation of in back blade seal, which forms pressure reduce load seal or prevents from leaking. To influence shaft speed on performance, a combined was designed for experiment stand set up. Theoretical experim...

Abstract To explore the sensitivity sorting of a one-dimensional performance prediction model, high-load centrifugal compressor is studied. Using Latin Hypercube method, influencing factors model are designed. Based on analysis ANOVA, main pressure ratio and efficiency investigated, guidance for optimization proposed. The results show that affecting deviation loss, radial diffuser incidence imp...

We show that the observed saturation of X-ray emission with increasing rotation rate in solar-type stars does not necessarily imply saturation of the underlying dynamo. This effect can be caused by the centrifugal stripping of the corona. As the stellar rotation rate is increased, centrifugal forces cause a rise in the pressure and density in the outer parts of the largest magnetic loops. This ...

Rotating convection is analysed numerically in a cylinder of aspect ratio one, for Prandtl number about 7. Traditionally, the problem has been studied within the Boussinesq approximation with density variation only incorporated in the gravitational buoyancy term and not in the centrifugal buoyancy term. In that limit, the governing equations admit a trivial conduction solution. However, the cen...
