For traditional centrifugal capillary pressure curve measurements, a short core plug is often employed. The capillary pressure is assumed to be zero at the outflow boundary of the core. The traditional experiments are time consuming. Measurement of the full capillary pressure curve often requires 7 to10 different centrifuge speeds, thus requiring one day to several days for measurement. Differe...

1. Using hemocyanin from Limulus polyphemus as a test material, the process of sedimentation in the angle centrifuge, operating both in vacuum and in the open air, has been investigated. 2. Sedimentation in a given field of force was found less efficient when centrifugation was conducted in the open air, because of thermal convection. 3. Correlations have been made with results obtained in the ...

Making cloud services responsive is critical to providing a compelling user experience. Many largescale sites, including LinkedIn, Digg and Facebook, address this need by deploying pools of servers that operate purely on in-memory state. Unfortunately, current technologies for partitioning requests across these inmemory server pools, such as network load balancers, lead to a frustrating program...

A high performance clarification system has been discussed for advanced aqueous reprocessing of FBR spent fuel. Dissolver residue gives the cause of troubles on the plant operation of reprocessing. In this study, the new clarification system based on the hybrid of centrifuge and filtration was proposed to get the high separation ability of the component of whole insoluble sludge. The clarificat...

Measurement of drainage relative permeability by the centrifuge method was first introduced by Hagoort. It has been shown that capillary end effects can cause errors in the measurements if a minimum rotational speed is not honored. To determine the min ! , we propose maintaining the value of capillary-gravity number, cg N , to be of the order of 10 -2 or smaller, at which the capillary end effe...
