Vertical speed indicator

Flight Instruments. Flight instruments operate using either gyroscopes or air pressure. The instruments that use air pressure are the altimeter, the vertical speed indicator, and the airspeed indicator. Airplanes are fitted with two pressure sensors the pitot tube, which is mounted under a wing or the front... 

Figure 18 [28] shows the variation of the particle speed and the potential energy of the silicon wafer in the collision process. The dashed line means the speed of the particle in the vertical direction and the black one indicates the variation of potential energy of the silicon disk. When the particle penetrates into the wafer surface, its vertical speed becomes lower and lower. Once the particle reaches the deepest position, the speed of the particle becomes zero and the potential energy of the silicon wafer increases to the highest one, and... 

An enzyme speeds up a reaction by decreasing AG. The enzyme does not change the free energy of the substrate (S) or product (P) it lowers the free energy of the transition state. The two vertical arrows indicate the activation free energies (AG ) of the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions. 

Fig. 10 Plots of (7) and (8) for RT within v = 0 from N2(0 10) and VRT N2 (1 10) —> (0 Aj). Filled squares represent the A-plot (7), circles the E-plot (8) for RT and triangles that for VRT. The vertical arrow indicates the mean relative speed at 300 K. From this it is evident that only velocities in the high-energy region of the MB distribution may open the VRT channels are hence the process is of low inherent probability. The shaded region indicates those channels and velocities for which energy and AM conservation are simultaneously conserved...

If we split the gearmesh profile for a normal gear by drawing a vertical line through the actual mesh (i.e., number of teeth times the input shaft speed), the two halves would be identical. Therefore, any deviation from a symmetrical profile indicates a gear problem. However,... 

If we add the narrowband information acquired from the Hoffman blower, we find that the vertical data is primarily at the true running speed of the common shaft. This confirms that a deflection of the shaft exists. No other machine component or failure mode is contributing to the problem. The horizontal measurements indicate that the bladepass, bearing defect and misalignment narrowbands are the major contributors. 

A similar method of test was used at the International Nickel Company s Corrosion Laboratory at North Carolina. The specimen discs are mounted on insulated vertical spindles and submerged in sea-water, which is supplied continuously to the tank in which the specimens are immersed. The maximum peripheral speed of the spinning disc is about 760cms , and the characteristic pattern of attack is shown in Fig. 19.3a. Studies of variation of depth of attack with velocity indicate that at low velocities (up to about 450 cm s ) alloys such as Admiralty brass, Cu-lONi and cupro-nickel alloys containing iron maintain their protective film with a consequent small and similar depth of attack for the diflferent alloys. At higher velocities the rate increases due to breakdown of the film.

Bomb products, rocket reentry bumup products, meteoritic dust, and other trace constituents will be redistributed rapidly within the mesosphere by large scale circulation, by eddy diffusion and, for particles of significant size, by gravitational sedimentation as well (1). Murgatroyd and Singleton (32) discuss the circulation of the mesosphere and indicate a meridional pattern, with ascent over the summer pole, descent over the winter pole, and a well defined flow from the summer hemisphere to the winter hemisphere above 50 km., with speeds of the order of meters sec."1 horizontally and cm. sec."1 vertically.

The flame-test apparatus used at the US BurMines Explosives Experiment Station at Bruceton, Pa consists essentially of a cannon in which an explosive is fired or detonated. The cannon, identical widi that employed for the ballistic pendulum,ia mounts vertically on a concrete foundation located ia a dark building. By means of a photographic camera equipped with auitable devicea to cot off all extraneous light rays, the flame ia continuously obaetved such that its apex is in the field of view. The flame is recorded on a sensitixed film wrapped about a drum that revolves at a predetermined rate of speed. The length of each flame is indicated by its hei t in the photograph, and the duration by the length of photograph... 

Figure 26.23 Interpretation of fluid holding phenomena on vertical plates immersed in solution to a depth of 15 mm (indicated by the dotted line on each plate) and then raised to a depth of 5 mm corresponding force loop plots with fluid holding times of (A) 0 s, (B) 57 s, and (C) 115s were calculated from a constant immersion speed of 300 mm/s.

Fig. 8 shows the general principle of various cross-axis CPCs. The geometrical parameter of the system is shown in Fig. 8a, where the orientation and planetary motion are indicated relative to the axis of the apparatus. The vertical axis of the apparatus and the horizontal axis of the coil are always kept perpendicular to each other at a fixed distance. The cylindrical column revolves at the central axis at the same rotational speed with which it rotates about its own axis. Three parameters displayed in Fig. 8a explain various versions of the cross-axis prototypes r is the radius of the column holder, R is the distance between the two axis, and L is the measure of the lateral shift of the column holder along its axis. The name of a cross-axis device is based on the ratio L/R, when R O. Types X and L represent the limits for the column positions type X involves no shifting of the column holder, while type L corresponds to an infinite shifting. Some examples of prototypes fabricated at the machine shop in the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, are shown in Fig. 8b.
