The distribution of pollutants in two urban scale models (point emission source and street canyon with extensive transport) was investigated by means CO 2 laser photoacoustic spectroscopy the region atmospheric window (9–10 μm). experimental results physical modeling are a good agreement numerical calculations performed frame computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling. Methanol, ethanol, ozone (examples light pollutants), as well sulfur hexafluoride 1,2 dichlorethane heavy were selected on...
This article is aimed to define the flow in annulus. The shaft deposited a case which has at inlet and outlet recess. rotor moves case. movement can be divided into rotation precession. It situation where rotates around own axis together along circle. solution of problem was initiative practice this type occurs many components, e.g. sliding journal bearings. fluid flows annulus due pressure gradient between takes place rotational rotor. Between liquid solid an interaction results change...
Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling of pollution dispersion and chemical conversion to aerosol particles in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) has been studied. The investigation focused on numerical above complex orographic terrains urban areas industrial sites including toxic substances air as a result accidents. A finite-rate model reactions, turbulence chemistry for reaction between nitric acid ammonia, applied. As supporting experiments, online monitoring spatial distribution...
The hydraulic circuit, through which the mineral oil is brought, an important part of hydrostatic bearings. annular thrust bearing consists two sliding plates divided by a layer oil. In lower plate, there are grooves distribute liquid between areas. circuit made basic parts: energy source and controlling part. pump, brings into bearing, pressure energy. weighted down axial force, can be changed during process. That´s why in front particular control components adjusting flow size located....
The systems with fluidic oscillators are intensively studied nowadays because the oscillatory flow can increase heat and mass transfer decrease energy dissipation. Fluidic produce an active-type mixing enhancement but in a passive manner as they do not require any moving parts. They convert steady pressurized inlet to or pulsatile at outlet without need for external power. In general, there many types of oscillators, categorized by underlying mechanism create output behaviour. oscillator...
The effective and reliable performance of any pump can be significantly impacted by the piping system design. One essential points is suction pipe. Poor design dimension lead to cavitation in which affects its head efficiency. primary objective reduce hydraulic losses order maintain a Net Positive Suction Head required pump. recommended short straight, branch connections, valves elbows should avoided, not always possible. In addition, occur actual elements installed on suction. This work...
