Rayleigh’s method

Applying Rayleigh s method of dimensional analysis to the pump head, we write our test equation as ... 

Both the column thickness and the column natural frequency are important in determining the effect of wind on column sway and the stresses induced. To determine the natural frequency of the column, Rayleigh s method, based on harmonic displacement for all elements of the column, is used. The natural vibration frequency formula has been derived as follows ... 

The dimensionless equation describing the transfer phenomena may be obtained either by direct reference to the ratios of the physical quantities or by recourse to the classical techniques of dimensional analysis, i.e., the Buckingham n Theorem or Rayleigh s method of indices. In addition, the basic differential equations governing the process may be reduced to dimensionless form and the coefficients identified. In general, the dimensionless equation for heat transfer through the combined film is... 

The parameter a is the ratio of the conductivity of the dispersed phase to that of the continuous phase. Meredith and Tobias extended this result to higher-order terms. Zuzovsky and Brenner used a multipole expansion technique to calculate the effective conductivity of simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic arrays of spheres. Their technique allowed for fourfold symmetry in the arrays, while those of previous authors did not. McPhe-dran and McKenzie and McKenzie, McPhedran, and Derrick extended Rayleigh s method for calculating the conductivities of lattices of spheres. Their method includes the effects of multipoles of arbitrarily high order specifically, their equation gives the numerical value of the / -order term referred to by Zuzovsky and Brenner. Sangani and Acrivos also used a fourfold potential to calculate effective conductivities of simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic lattices to 0(/ ). They corrected a numerical slip in the work of Zuzovsky and Brenner. Their equation is... 

The force Rayleigh scattering method was developed by Nagashima s group. Thermal diffusivity can be measured in a contact-free manner within a time interval of 1 ms, with a small temperature rise of 0.1 K and with a small volinne of about 10 mm The sample needs to be colored by an admixture of a dye for suitable absorption of a heating laser beam. The principle is schematically shown in Fig. 32. Two beams of equal intensity divided by means of abeam splitter cross in the sample to create... 

Experimental methods presented in the literature may prove of value in combustion studies of both solid and liquid suspensions. Such suspensions include the common liquid spray. Uniform droplets can be produced by aerosol generators, spinning disks, vibrating capillary tubes, and other techniques. Mechanical, physicochemical, optical, and electrical means are available for determination of droplet size and distribution. The size distribution, aggregation, and electrical properties of suspended particles are discussed as well as their flow and metering characteristics. The study of continuous fuel sprays includes both analytical and experimental procedures. Rayleigh s work on liquid jet breakup is reviewed and its subsequent verification and limitations are shown. 

Poisson gave the first three terms of Rayleigh s equation (9), in 1831, and Laplace, the first two terms on the right-hand side of equation (10) for wide tubes, in 1805. Bosanquet1 has calculated the corrections for moderately wide tubes, using a different method of approximation from that of Bashforth and Adams. Porter8 has given further calculations of the corrections. 

Thus we have demonstrated that the spectral extrapolation based on Stolt s method (formulae (15.222) and (15.223)) is equivalent to the reverse-time wave equation migration using the Rayleigh integral formulae (15.203) and (15.205). 

Capillary breakup method The capillary breakup method is based on Tomotika s theory [Tomotika, 1935, 1936]. The author was the first to investigate the development of Rayleigh s instabilities in cylinders of one fluid imbedded in another (see Pigs. 4.10 and 4.11) [Rayleigh, 1879]. The amplitude variations of the sinusoidal distortions, a, can be described by ... 

In 1926-27, Jeffreys (J3, J4) attempted to extend Rayleigh s result to a more realistic set of boundary conditions, first using finite differences to obtain successive approximations to the solution of Eq. (31) and later using a method of undetermined coefficients for the case corresponding to two solid conducting boundaries. In the latter manner, he computed a critical Rayleigh number of 1709.5.

Several methods based on Pick s second law are available to measure the diffusion coefficient. Among these are the following three classical methods the Schlieren method, the Gouy interference method, and the Rayleigh interference method. We describe here the Rayleigh interference method, for its application is also found in ultracentrifuge sedimentation. We use the classical Tiselius electrophoresis cells to illustrate (Figure 10.5).
