Experiments, interpretation

Most research papers that describe and conduct specific experiments, interpret experimental data, and evaluate the objective results of others, are often scientific in the nature and the tone of their writing style. In other words, these papers focus more on the accumulation of objective evidence, the various means by which data was tested and interpreted, and finally, the analysis of these results. Usually, these papers, by the specific nature of their subject matter and disciplines, are more focused in their scope. They are also more likely to be dictated in topic matter by a particular professor, professional discipline, or company. Some very broad ideas for possible topics in this area might include ...

HT is not an opportunity to blindly take a shot gun approach to research. These studies take skill scientists to decide the right types of experiments, interpret the data, and make decisions on the best technical course of action.

This article presents a selected review of the main resnlts on pressnre drop and heat transfer coefficient measnrements with liqnid flows and underlines the discrepancies or the agreements with classical theories. The theoretical arguments set out by the authors to explain these discrepancies are also presented. To prevent ambignity, experimental results are presented wherein the evident effects of experimental errors have been removed. From these resnlts a tentative critical analysis is proposed to facilitate the choice of experiment interpretations and/or system designs. 

Some materials, among the most porous, show a large volume variation due to mechanical compaction when submitted to mercury porosimetry. High dispersive precipitated silica shows, as low density xerogels and carbon black previously experimented, two successive volume variation mechanisms, compaction and intrusion. The position of the transition point between the two mechanisms allows to compute the buckling constant used to determine the pore size distribution in the compaction part of the experiment. The mercury porosimetry data of a high dispersive precipitated silica sample wrapped in a tight membrane are compared with the data obtained with the same sample without memlM ane. Both experiments interpreted by equations appropriate to the mechanisms lead to the same pore size distribution.

It is our strong belief that in the next years theory will not only serve as a post-experiment interpretation tool or a simple "black box" able to predict experimental quantities (even though these already represent highly complex duties), but it will provide a sophisticated tool able to obtain complementary information with respect to experimental quantities and to see many things that are precluded to experiments. In order to do so theory must rely on a well established approximation to the true forces governing the nuclear motion. In this sense, the validation of force fields is crucial.
