Acceleration losses

E = Acceleration losses E2 = Lifting energy E3 = Horizontal losses E4 = Bends and elbows... 

Acceleration loss The energy input necessary to accelerate air to a higher velocity. 

L = equivalent length of pipe, ft 7 = acceleration loss group, dimensionless... 

The acceleration loss, Apa, results from the force needed to accelerate the liquid in the film around the Taylor bubble from its velocity, ULTB, to that of the liquid slug, ULLS. 

Some horticultural crops such as sweet potatoes, bananas, and pineapples can suffer from chilling injury at low temperatures (Lee and Kader 2000). Chilling injury causes accelerated losses in ascorbic acid content of chilling-sensitive crops. Destruction of ascorbic acid can occur before development of any visible symptoms of chilling injury (Lee and Kader 2000). 

Postmenopausal osteoporosis represents a period of accelerated loss of bone mass. The lower the preexisting bone mass, the earlier the clinical signs become manifest.

For no mass transfer between phases, the acceleration loss is approximately,... 

It should be noted that the frictional drop was calculated by subtracting the hydrostatic head and acceleration losses from the measured total pressure-drop where void data were lacking, a homogeneous flow model was assumed. This modification of X by use of the Froude number appears very similar to the technique used by Kosterin (K2, K3) for horizontal pipes, in which the equivalent of volume-fraction of gas flowing, with mixture Froude number as the correlating parameter. 

Containers that are not properly sealed are prone to accelerated loss of continuous phase molecules due to evaporation. This in turn increases oil droplet concentration, which may subsequently accelerate emulsion breakdown because of the increase in the frequency of droplet collisions. 

In addition to the frictional pressure drop, there will be apressure loss associated with the expansion of the gas, termed an acceleration loss and calculated from... 

Electroluminescent materials are used in the form of powders or thin films Owing to their high brightness and stability, ac thin film devices are the most appropriate electroluminescent systems for display. The main criterion for an electroluminescent material is its ability to have its electrons accelerated loss-freely in electric...
