Elliptic cylinder

Most furnace shells are short vertical cylinders but may also be triangular, elliptical, or rectangular in plan view. Single-phase furnaces may have one or two movable electrodes. Three-phase furnaces usually have three movable electrodes, but some have six (three paks, two electrodes for each phase). 

Flow Nozzles A simple form of flow nozzle is shown in Fig. 10-17. It consists essentially of a short cylinder with a flared approach section. The approach cross section is preferably elliptical in shape but may be conical. Recommended contours for long-radius flow nozzles are given in ASME PTC, op. cit., p. 13. In general, the length of the straight portion of the throat is about one-h f throat diameter, the upstream pressure tap is located about one pipe diameter from the nozzle inlet face, and the downstream pressure tap about one-half pipe diameter from the inlet face. For subsonic flow, the pressures at points 2 and 3 will be practically identical. If a conical inlet is preferred, the inlet and throat geometry specified for a Herschel-type venturi meter can be used, omitting the expansion section.

Some pellet beds are housed in circular or elliptical cylinders, where the exhaust gas flows in the axial direction. The radial flow converter is a... 

Another curvilinear coordinate system of importance in two-centre problems, such as the diatomic molecule, derives from the more general system of confo-cal elliptical coordinates. The general discussion as represented, for instance by Margenau and Murphy [5], will not be repeated here. Of special interest is the case of prolate spheroidal coordinates. In this system each point lies at the intersection of an ellipsoid, a hyperboloid and and a cylinder, such that... 

The collage of electron micrographs shown in Figure 19 Illustrates a probable transition from a nucleation and growth phase separation mechanism to a spinodal decomposition. The 7% PS sample shows more or less spherical PS domains, characteristics of nucleation and growth. However, a few domains appear to have some elliptical characteristics. When the PS content increases up to midrange, the shape of the PS domains becomes more obviously elliptical, suggestive of cross-sections of cylinders or other worm-like structures. As the PS content increases further, the... 

Cylinders, Ellipsoids, and Elliptical Paraboloids. The diffusion-limited growth of particles whose planar intercepts are conic sections can also be analyzed by the scaling method. For example, the scaling function appropriate for a cylinder is T] = r/y/t.4 The solution for the growth of a cylinder is obtained in Exercise 20.5. 

Pressure drop has been reported for a number of rotor internals, including corrugated structured packing (28), foam metal (26,40,42), rectangular and elliptical cylinder plastic grains randomly packed (41), wire screen (43), and glass beads (17). In spite of the variation in porosity from 0.38 to 0.95 and in volumetric surface area from 500 to 4000 m2/m3, all of these studies showed similarities of increased pressure drop as rotor speed increased and gas rates increased. 

The heat transfer coefficient, h, is the variable whose value is being sought. Consider a series of bodies of the same geometrical shape, e.g., a series of elliptical cylinders (see Fig. 1.13), but of different size placed in various fluids. It can be deduced, either by physical argument or by considering available experimental results, that if, in the case of gas flows, the velocity is low enough for compressibility effects to be ignored, h will depend on ... 

Using the procedure outlined in this chapter for using the boundars laser equations to find the-forced convective heat transfer rate from a circular cylinder buried in a saturated porous medium, investigate the heat transfer rate from cylinders with an elliptical cross-section with their major axes aligned with the forced flow. The surface velocity distribution should be obtained from a suitable book on fluid mechanics. 

Keh and Chen [33] employed O Brien s method [7] to examine the polarization effect on the electrophoresis of an infinitely long circular cylinder. They found that neglecting the end effect, the transverse electrophoretic velocity is identical to that for a spherical particle with the same radius. The polarization effects were also investigated for a spheroidal particle [34,35] and an infinitely long elliptical cylinder [36]. An interesting feature discovered from these studies is that the electrophoretic velocity decreases with the reduction of the maximum length of the particle in the direction of the migration. 

The more dangerous defects will be flat defects perpendicular to the current lines. In two dimensions they are lines, but in three dimensions they have the shape of cylinders. Prom the results of Section 1.2.2(a), one can see that the enhancement factor for an elliptic defect (see Fig. 2.4) is k = l/b. Thus a long defect parallel to the current lines b I ) does not affect the current lines, while a long defect perpendicular to the current line b 1) affects them strongly. 

The expanded and stretched craze lentil of dimensions h(x) must however fit into the craze cavity f(x) exactly. To proceed further, we now make an idealized assumption that the premordial craze matter shape k(x) is an elliptical cylinder with an aspect ratio P, i.e. 

Mordenite is a naturally-occurring silica-rich zeolite (Si/Al 5) which also can be synthesized readily (34). Meier determined the structure of its fully hydrated sodium form (28). The mordenite framework is characterized by a micropore system composed essentially of parallel elliptical cylinders of maximum and minimum crystallographic free diameters of 7.0 and 5.7A, respectively, these main channels being interconnected by smaller side channels.
