The central recirculation zone (CRZ) in a swirl stabilized gas turbine combustor has a dominant effect on the fuel air mixing process and flame stability. Most of state of the art swirlers share one disadvantage; the fixed swirl number for the same swirler configuration. Thus, in a mathematical sense, Reynolds number becomes the sole parameter for controlling the flow characteristics inside the...

Cabibbo-allowed charmed meson decays into a pseudoscalar meson and an axial-vector meson are studied. The charm to axial-vector meson transition form factors are evaluated in the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise quark model. The dipole momentum dependence of the D → K transition form factor and the presence of a sizable long-distance W -exchange are the two key ingredients for understanding the data ...

This study is inspired by the observation and hypothesis that the spreading and decay behaviors of a jet directly depend on the momentum-mixing mechanism between the jet and surrounding fluid. This mixing behavior is dictated by the kinematic viscosity ν for a laminar jet, which can be dramatically enhanced in a turbulent flow and is represented by the eddy viscosity ε. Similarly, pulsation in ...

M ixing behavior of three geometrically equivalent 0.06 m bubble column and airlift photobioreactors was compared for use in microalgal culture. Mixing was characterized in terms of the axial dispersion coefficient, mixing time, circulation time and Bodenstein number. Measurements were reported in tap water and sea water, as used in growing microalgal biomass. Compared with the two airlift reac...

Chaotic transport and mixing in wavy cylindrical Couette flow has been studied in some detail, but previous studies have been limited to the velocity field at transition from Taylor–Couette flow to wavy flow or have used phenomenological, computational, or theoretical models of the flow. Recent particle image velocimetry measurements of wavy vortex flow provide the experimental three-dimensiona...

We present an approach that can be used for transmission of information through space-limited systems or for superresolution. The spatial information is coded with different axial temporal coherence by interfering every spatial region in the input with the same region, but with a certain known delay in the longitudinal axis. Every spatial region has different delay. After mixing all of the spat...

to examine the effect of mixing graminicide herbicides with liquid fertilizer in gorgan region, an experiment was conducted as factorial arranged in complete randomized block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of islamic azad university of gorgan. the first factor was using topic, pumasuper and axial herbicides with the amounts of 0.8, 1, and 0.5 l/ha-1, respectively. th...
