In a molecule such as the asymmetric rotor formaldehyde, shown in Figure 5.1(f), the a, b and c inertial axes, of lowest, medium and highest moments of inertia, respectively, are defined by symmetry, the a axis being the C2 axis, the b axis being in the yz plane and the c axis being perpendicular to the yz plane. Vibrational transition moments are confined to the a, b or c axis and the rotational selection mles are characteristic. We call them... 

Dynamic Effects. Particles often differ in their residence, inertia, and other dynamic characteristics which can cause them to segregate, particularly when they are forming a pile such as when charged into a bin or discharged from a chute. 

The main characteristic properties of asbestos fibers that can be exploited in industrial appHcations (8) are their thermal, electrical, and sound insulation nonflammabiUty matrix reinforcement (cement, plastic, and resins) adsorption capacity (filtration, Hquid sterilization) wear and friction properties (friction materials) and chemical inertia (except in acids). These properties have led to several main classes of industrial products or appHcations...

If the gear unit is retrofit, for example when replacing a turbine with a motor and gear unit, the system, in like manner, must be thoroughly analyzed. In either case, the gear supplier must furnish the user with adequate data on the mass elastics of the unit, inertias, bearing characteristics, and the like, to permit the user s own or a consultant s analysis. 

Besides the inherent lateral natural frequency characteristic, compressors are also influenced by torsional natural frequencies. All torsionally flexible drive trains are subject to non-steady or oscillatory excitation torques during normal operation of the system. These excitation torques can be an inherent function of either the driver or the driven equipment and, when superimposed on the normal operating torque, may appear to be of negligible concern. However, when combined with the high inertia loads of many turbomachinery trains and a torsional resonant frequency of the system, these diminutive ripples can result in a tidal wave of problems. 

Further contrast between metal and composite stiffeners is revealed when we examine the objectives and characteristics of stiffener design. For a metal stiffener of uniform or even nonuniform thickness, we attempt to maximize the moment of inertia of the stiffener in order to maximize the bending stiffness of the stiffener. Those two factors are proportional to one another when we realize that the bending stiffness of metal stiffeners about the middle surface of the plate or shell to which they are attached is... 

Liquids in motion have characteristics different from liquids at rest. Frictional resistances within the fluid, viscosity, and inertia contribute to these differences. Inertia, which means the resistance a mass offers to being set in motion, will be discussed later in this section. Other relationships of liquids in motion you must be familiar with. Among these are volume and velocity of flow flow rate, and speed laminar and turbulent flow and more importantly, the force and energy changes which occur in flow. 

In creeping flow with the inertia term neglected, the velocity distribution rapidly reaches a steady value after a distance of r0 inside a capillary tube. At this stage the velocity distribution showed the typical parabolic shape characteristic of a Poiseuille flow. In the case of inviscid flow where inertia is the predominant term, it takes typically (depending on the Reynolds number) a distance of 20 to 50 diameters for the flow to be fully developed (Fig. 34). With the short capillary section ( 4r0) in the present design, the velocity front remains essentially unperturbed and the velocity along the symmetry axis, i.e. vx (y = 0), is identical to v0. 

The quasi-one-dimensional model of flow in a heated micro-channel makes it possible to describe the fundamental features of two-phase capillary flow due to the heating and evaporation of the liquid. The approach developed allows one to estimate the effects of capillary, inertia, frictional and gravity forces on the shape of the interface surface, as well as the on velocity and temperature distributions. The results of the numerical solution of the system of one-dimensional mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, and a detailed analysis of the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristic of the flow in heated capillary with evaporative interface surface have been carried out. 

The multiplicity of phenomena characteristic of flow in heated micro-channels determined the content of the book. We consider a number of fundamental problems related to drag and heat transfer in flow of a pure liquid and a two-phase mixture in micro-channels, coolant boiling in restricted space, bubble dynamics, etc. Also considered are capillary flows with distinct interfaces developing under interaction of inertia, pressure, gravity, viscous and capillary forces. 

All major characteristics of chemisorption response of electrophysical parameters of semiconductor adsorbents such as sensitivity, selectivity, inertia, reversibility are naturally dependent both on the nature of adsorbent and on chemical activity of absorbate with respect to adsorbent chosen. 

In terms of transient behaviors, the most important parameters are the fluid compressibility and the viscous losses. In most field problems the inertia term is small compared with other terms in Eq. (128), and it is sometimes omitted in the analysis of natural gas transient flows (G4). Equations (123) and (128) constitute a pair of partial differential equations with p and W as dependent variables and t and x as independent variables. The equations are hyperbolic as shown, but become parabolic if the inertia term is omitted from Eq. (128). As we shall see later, the hyperbolic form must be retained if the method of characteristics (Section V,B,1) is to be used in the solution. 

Geometric Examination. The polymer chemist needs to examine the various characteristics of the molecule in the molecular workspace. Bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles can be measured for the current structure and compared to accepted values. In addition, other geometric properties can be computed like overall dimension, moments of inertia, molecular volume and surface area. 

The development of the theory of heat-flow calorimetry (Section VI) has demonstrated that the response of a calorimeter of this type is, because of the thermal inertia of the instrument, a distorted representation of the time-dependence of the evolution of heat produced, in the calorimeter cell, by the phenomenon under investigation. This is evidently the basic feature of heat-flow calorimetry. It is therefore particularly important to profit from this characteristic and to correct the calorimetric data in order to gain information on the thermokinetics of the process taking place in a heat-flow calorimeter.
