Revolving disk

ASTM has also standardised a flipper type of machine7 which uses grooved and pierced test pieces to measure crack growth. The gap between the revolving disk and the deflector bars can be varied so that the angle of deflection and, hence, the severity of test can be varied. The apparatus in contained in an oven so that tests can be made over a range of temperatures.

Cuttings are generated when a revolving disk impregnated with an abrasive such as Carborundum, alumina, or diamond is fed edgewise into a metal piece. 

Assemblies of small disks are rotated in a planetary movement around a central screw conveyor. The disks are mounted on six hoUow axles and the axles revolve on overhanging bearings from the gearbox at one end of the vessel where they are driven, via a drive shaft, by an electric motor. The filtrate is collected from the disks via the hoUow shafts and a filter valve into a large collecting pipe. The hoUow shafts also collect the water and air from the dewatering process, in another part of the rotational cycle. The number of disks mounted on the shafts can be adjusted for different materials, depending on the required capacity and the cake thickness to be used. 

According to Newton s law, the circular speed of an object in orbit around some central point should decrease with distance from that point. However, in the case of disk-shaped galaxies such as our own, it is observed that the circular speeds of component stars and gases are roughly independent of the orbital radius beyond a certain distance from the centre. Stars in the outer regions of galaxies revolve too quickly around the common centre to uphold the edicts of the laws of gravity, unless some unseen matter is present (Fig.Al.l). 

The suspended flame rotary burner produces atomization of the oil by throwing it off as a spray from a cone, cup, or disk, rapidly revolving about a vertical axis. The spray is supported by the air stream and burns in a flat, circular flame. 

The standard understanding today is that spiral structure can be regarded as a density wave, which revolves in the galactic disk. Lin and Shu, 1964 1966 were the first to apply wave mechanics techniques, obtain the density wave theory and deduce the properties of the density wave solutions. We work under the infrastructure set by the theory. 

Second, as the cloud begins to contract, it also begins to rotate. During rotation, some of the gas contained in the cloud is thrown outward, away from the center, where it forms a thin disk of material around the central core of the cloud. The more the cloud collapses, the faster it rotates and the more material it ejects into the surrounding disk. The disk that surrounds the cloud contains particles that may themselves coalesce to form small bodies (planets) that revolve around the young star.
