Circular Cross-Section

The same result can also be obtained by direct calculation using cylindrical coordinates (x, r, cp) and thus avoiding the trial solution equation (2.39). For cylindrical coordinates with the x-axis as the cylinder axis, we have  

The symmetry considerations reduce the velocity field to u = v r)e, so that the N-S equation (2.35) becomes an ordinary differential equation of second order as

A jet emerging from a nonciicular orifice is mechanically unstable, not only with respect to the eventual breakup into droplets discussed in Section II-3, but, more immediately, also with respect to the initial cross section not being circular. Oscillations develop in the Jet since the momentum of the liquid carries it past the desired circular cross section. This is illustrated in Fig. 11-20. 

Derive, from simple considerations, the capillary rise between two parallel plates of infinite length inclined at an angle of d to each other, and meeting at the liquid surface, as illustrated in Fig. 11-23. Assume zero contact angle and a circular cross section for the meniscus. Remember that the area of the liquid surface changes with its position. 

According to the simple formula, the maximum bubble pressure is given by f max = 27/r where r is the radius of the circular cross-section tube, and P has been corrected for the hydrostatic head due to the depth of immersion of the tube. Using the appropriate table, show what maximum radius tube may be used if 7 computed by the simple formula is not to be more than 5% in error. Assume a liquid of 7 = 25 dyn/cm and density 0.98 g/cm. ...

Finally we require a case in which mechanism (lii) above dominates momentum transfer. In flow along a cylindrical tube, mechanism (i) is certainly insignificant compared with mechanism (iii) when the tube diameter is large compared with mean free path lengths, and mechanism (ii) can be eliminated completely by limiting attention to the flow of a pure substance. We then have the classical Poiseuille [13] problem, and for a tube of circular cross-section solution of the viscous flow equations gives 2...

At Che opposite limit, where Che density Is high enough for mean free paths to be short con ared with pore diameters, the problem can be treated by continuum mechanics.

The circular cross section of the polymer blobs does not prove that the polymer existed in solution as a tangled coil (although this is the case). The shape displayed by the particles in the photograph is probably due in part to surface tension occurring during the drying of the sample. 

They possess spherical symmetry around a center of nucleation. This symmetry projects a perfectly circular cross section if the development of the spherulite is not stopped by contact with another expanding spherulite. 

One advantage of sintering is the close control of si2e and shape of the abrasive particle. Extmded, cylindricaHy shaped, sintered abrasives of circular cross section were produced from bauxite (24) and from calcined alumina (25). The Uelt2 sintered bauxite was also later produced in extmded cylinder form and designated as 76A. Extmded sintered abrasives of a wide variety of cross-sectional configurations, eg, square and triangular, were later patented (26).

Articles of circular cross section may be made in iron paste molds. To keep the inner surface of the paste mold moist, it is coated with shellac or varnish and a mixture of charcoal and linseed oil is baked on. Hot iron molds ate used for ware of any shape, particularly for screw threading, multiple decoration, or raised lettering.

Ampere. The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight, parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed one meter apart in a vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x 10 newton per meter of length. 

In the simple Bunsen flame on a tube of circular cross-section, the stabilization depends on the velocity variation in the flow emerging from the tube. For laminar flow (paraboHc velocity profile) in a tube, the velocity at a radius r is given by equation 20 ... 

Example Buckingham Pi Method—Heat-Transfer Film Coefficient It is desired to determine a complete set of dimensionless groups with which to correlate experimental data on the film coefficient of heat transfer between the walls of a straight conduit with circular cross section and a fluid flowing in that conduit.

For a short pipe of circular cross section, the conductance as calculated for an orifice from Eq. (6-82) is multiplied by a correction factor iC which may be approximated as (Kennard, Kinetic Theory of Gases, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1938, pp. 306-308)...

Skin friction loss. Skin friction loss is the loss from the shear forces on the impeller wall caused by turbulent friction. This loss is determined by considering the flow as an equivalent circular cross section with a hydraulic diameter. The loss is then computed based on well-known pipe flow pressure loss equations.

Mechanical adhesion. Mechanical interlocking between the two substrates can also contribute to adhesion. This mechanism would function most effectively with fibers with rough surfaces and irregular or non-circular cross-sectional shapes. 

Abstract—The geometrical conditions pertaining to closure, helicity, and interlayer distance between successive layers with circular cross-sections in carbon tubules (nanotubes) have been examined. Both the intralayer length of the C—C bonds and the interlayer distance between successive layers must vary with the radius of the layers. The division into groups of the sheets in nanotubes is found to be due to the reciprocal interaction of the interlayer distance variations and of the conditions required to maintain constancy of the pitch angle. 

Recently, the structure of some helical carbon nanotubes was examined [3], and the present work is an attempt at completing the geometrical approach to the structural problems encountered in the case of tubules with circular cross-sections. However, most of the conclusions in the present work are applicable to nanotubes witli polygonal cross-sections that have also been shown to exist. 

The graphical integration method is based on graphical presentation of the average flow profile. For a circular duct, the cross-section is virtually divided into several concentric ring elements. The spatial mean velocity of such an element is determined as an arithmetical mean of local velocities along the circumference of the corresponding radius. For a circular cross-section the flow rate can be expressed as...
