Cylinder, long

There are many naturally occurring particles, such as some viruses and asbestos fibers, which are best represented as cylinders long compared with their diameter. Therefore, in this section we shall construct the exact solution to the problem of absorption and scattering by an infinitely long right circular cylinder and examine some of the properties of this solution. 

Although we have repeatedly referred to an infinite cylinder, it is clear that no such cylinder exists except as an idealization. So what we really have in mind is a cylinder long compared with its diameter. Later in this section we shall try to acquire some insight into how long a cylinder must be before it is effectively infinite by considering scattering in the diffraction theory approximation. 

The body blank is formed into a cylinder over a mandrel and the hooks are engaged and rolled closed to form the side seam, which is then soldered or welded. A recent development consists of making a cylinder long enough for three bodies, which is parted across previously made score lines into three separate can bodies. Speeds of up to 900 bodies per minute can be achieved, compared with around 500 for the conventional method. 

The radial diffusion through a cylinder long enough so as the longitudinal diffusion may be neglected, is obtained in the same way by evaluating the mass balance ... 

Myelin Cylinders. Long-chain polar compounds, above their solubility limit, may interact with surfactants to form mixed micelles that separate (as a coacervate) in the form of cylinders. These are termed myelin cylinders or myelinic figures. They are usually quite viscous and may be birefringent. 

In addition to a geological evaluation on a macroscopio and microscopic scale, plugs (small cylinders 2 cm diameter and 5 cm long) are cut from the slabbed core, usually at about 30 cm intervals. Core analysis is carried out on these samples. 

For the repetitive inspections the required hydrotest can only be performed for a limited number of the small cylinders, and even then the drums have to be removed from the line and the cylinders will be supported in defined distances for the weight of the water and the pressurisation. For the new and long cylinders even this is impossible, because they loose due to the additional weight of the water and the over-pressurisation their roundness and balances. Therefore the law in the most countries within and outside of the EU accept as a replacement of the hydrotest an additional application of different NDT methods, which were often done by an ultrasonic measurement of the wall thickness of the cylindrical part and a MT of the flat covers. 

If the cylinders are of different radii, then a = (0102). In these cases, U(x) has a simple inverse dependence on x, so that the attraction is, indeed, long-range. 

The furnace and thermostatic mortar. For heating the tube packing, a small electric furnace N has been found to be more satisfactory than a row of gas burners. The type used consists of a silica tube (I s cm. in diameter and 25 cm. long) wound with nichrome wire and contained in an asbestos cylinder, the annular space being lagged the ends of the asbestos cylinder being closed by asbestos semi-circles built round the porcelain furnace tube. The furnace is controlled by a Simmerstat that has been calibrated at 680 against a bimetal pyrometer, and the furnace temperature is checked by this method from time to time. The furnace is equipped with a small steel bar attached to the asbestos and is thus mounted on an ordinary laboratory stand the Simmerstat may then be placed immediately underneath it on the baseplate of this stand, or alternatively the furnace may be built on to the top of the Simmerstat box. 

Elastic Behavior. In the following discussion of the equations relevant to the design of thick-walled hoUow cylinders, it should be assumed that the material of which the cylinder is made is isotropic and that the cylinder is long and initially free from stress. It may be shown (1,2) that if a cylinder of inner radius, and outer radius, is subjected to a uniform internal pressure, the principal stresses in the radial and tangential directions, and <7, at any radius r, such that > r > are given by... 

Equation 7 predicts the correct yield pressure only if the material is isotropic, the cylinder free from residual stress prior to the appHcation of pressure, and sufftcientiy long, eg, more than five diameters, for there to be no end effects.
