Guide elements

Two different approaches with the same philosophy appeared simultaneously in 1997 [80,128], but their main differences concern the formulation of the active waveguide, the optical setup and its integration, the guiding elements themselves and the technological processes to construct the sensors. Figure 16 represents both measurement systems. 

The same calculation was executed for a structure with the same outer dimensions but without flow-guiding internal structures, i.e. channels (Figure 4.96). The particles were emitted at the same positions as before but they did not follow the same routes as before because no guiding elements were present. In fact some parts of the square were not even reached by these particles, showing that the residence time in these areas is theoretically infinite. 

Obviously the characteristic distribution of the structured square, as expected, is much closer to the ideal plug flow reactor than to the laminar flow reactor. This desired behavior is a result of the channel walls, which are flow-guiding elements and pressure resistors to the flow at the same time. Two of the streamlines are projecting with a residence time of more than 0.4 s. These are the streamlines passing the area close to the wall of the distribution area, which introduces a larger resistance to these particles due to wall friction. This could, for example, be accounted for by a different channel width between the near wall channels and the central channels. 

A device for mixing components in a solution or dispersion without moving mechanical elements. Stationary flow-guiding elements are built into a device, frequently a section of pipe, and they induce mixing and dispersion by repeatedly dividing and recombining partial streams of the flowing material. Also termed motionless mixers . 

In practice, one often deals with outside flows around stationary extended equipment elements such as plates, guiding elements, or tubes. In this case the action of external mass forces can often be neglected, and the hydrodynamic laws are determined by the relation between pressure, viscous, and inertial forces. Then the system of dimensionless steady-state hydrodynamic equations becomes... 

Depending on the raw material, the amount of production and the contaminants content, repulping is done in different types of pulpers or drums at consistencies between <6% and < 28%. Slushing time is between about 5 and 40 min. Pulpers are usually stainless steel vats with a vertical axis. A concentric impeller is the slushing tool, vertical elements at the cyhndrical wall and guide elements at the bottom redirect the rotating suspension flow to the vat center ... 

A mold basically consists of an upper and lower half. In the normal course of events, the lower half is clamped to the press table, and the top part is attached to the press force. The guidance of both mold halves to each other is ensured by appropriately hardened guide elements. Asymmetric part geometry can induce considerable compressive forces into the guide elements. Therefore, they need to be held to a high tolerance of dimensional stability.

The guide systems for the plates and maybe for the mold inserts should be determined. Standard guide elements from manufacturers of standard mold units are preferred for reasons of costs. In addition to avoiding a static over-determination in the centering system of the plates and cavities, it is important to ensure a smooth operation at temperatures around 200 °C. If a guide cone is used in cavity-self-centering, special attention should be paid to manufacturability (only as accurate as necessary).

The bronzes have a much lower thermal conductivity in comparison to the most commonly used copper alloys (CuCoNiBe/CuBe/CuNiSiCr) however, they also have excellent sliding properties, which make them an excellent material both for guide elements as well as for forming mold inserts. Low alloyed copper alloys are always the first choice when it comes to using a material with a high thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties. 

Appropriate guiding elements lead the standing ends in the direction of production in the knitting unit and also bind them in the stitches. It Is also possible to produce a monoaxiai multi-ply fabric by using standing ends without weft threads. 

Moving parts must be designed so as to function without lubrication. Membranes instead of bores may help as guiding elements. Vacuum-tight feed injection in cryostat flanges can be achieved by bellows. 

Microdrawing techniques of stacked capillaries are mainly used to manufacture optical elements. Nanochannel glass has been used to produce a mask, which was applied in massive parallel patterned lithography (Tonucci et al., [522,523]). Multi-microcapillary systems are also used in optical applications, for instance, to focus X-ray beams [553]. Beloglazov et al. [41] described that apart in X-ray optics drawn stacked microcapillaries have foimd applications as parts of microactuators used in micromechanics, filters in bio and medicine technical applications, light guiding elements and photonic crystals and also for visualisation systems in electronics.
