Experimental investigation of the hydrodynamic forces on the shroud of a centrifugal pump impeller
Creators: name: Zhuang, Fei
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1989
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Fluid-induced forces acting on a rotating impeller are known to cause rotor-dynamic problems in turbomachines. The forces generated by leakage flow along the front shroud surface of a centrifugal turbomachine impeller play an important role among these fluid-induced forces. The present research was aimed to gain a better understanding of these shroud forces. An experimental apparatus
was designed and constructed to simulate the impeller shroud leakage flow. Hydrodynamic forces, steady and unsteady pressure distributions on the rotating
shroud were measured as functions of eccentricity, width of shroud clearance, face seal clearance and shaft rotating speed. The forces measured from the dynamometer and manometers agreed well. The hydrodynamic force matrices
were found skew-symmetric and statically unstable. This is qualitatively similar to the result of previous hydrodynamic volute force measurements. Nondimensionalized
normal and tangential forces decrease slightly as Reynolds number increases.  As the width of the shroud clearance decreases and/or the eccentricity increases, the hydrodynamic forces increase nonlinearly. There was some evidence found that increased front seal clearance could reduce the radial shroud forces and the relative magnitude of the destabilizing tangential force. Subharmonic
pressure fluctuations were also observed which may affect adversely the behavior of the rotor system.

Strategies to design a new generation of biofertilisers for a more sustainable agriculture

description: Plant biostimulants (PBs) are an attractive and environmental friendly strategy to mitigate the continuous application of chemical fertilisers which disrupt the environment by degrading soil fertility and contaminating ground water. The research described in this PhD thesis explored strategies to select, characterise and design a new generation of PBs formulations. Numerous parameters are involved in the multistep process of formulating inoculants and add up to an infinite amount of possible approaches. This requires an elaborate and high-throughput screening to narrow down all the possible criteria. Several authors suggest that this is best achieved by using a stepwise screening approach. However, the scientific literature lack of a suitable screening strategy. We addressed this facet by designing a stepwise screening procedure to select the best microbial candidates as promising new active ingredients of PBs products. Furthermore, this screening was validated by using a case study: PGPR combined with humic acids (HA) to be applied on tomato plants. This validation led us to select two PGPR, Pantoea agglomerans MVC 21 and Pseudomonas (Ps.) putida MVC 17 as potential candidates for PBs formulations. Recently, co-inoculation of two or multiple PGPR is used to achieve prominent multifactorial effects on crop productivity. To develop a PGPR consortium, we evaluated how P. agglomerans MVC 21 and Ps. putida MVC 17 interact together and the effect of this interaction on tomato seedlings. Compatibility studies revealed that both strains may be combined in a biostimulant product. Experiments testing the effect of the PGPR interaction indicated that both PGPR interact together and with tomato seedlings mainly by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by P. agglomerans MVC 21. Metabolomic studies pinpointed VOCs belonging to the family of alcohols, ketones and sulfide as the main VOCs released by P. agglomerans MVC 21. Moreover, the identification of the main VOC responsible of the effects of P. agglomerans MVC 21 VOCs deciphered new ecological roles of VOCs as chemical signals able to modulate behaviour of PGPR as well as the interaction between plants and PGPR. Another promising area of PBs formulations is the use of HA combined with PGPR which have shown to better benefit plant growth. Our study, conducted under in vitro conditions, showed that HA synergistically modulate plant growth-promoting activities of P. agglomerans MVC 21. Whole genome sequencing analysis of P. agglomerans MVC 21 will be subject of future studies. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis will be carried out to better understand the effect of HA on P. agglomerans MVC 21 genes related to plant growth-promoting activities.

description: The aim of this PhD thesis is to investigate the political role of Adelheid of Burgundy in tenth-century Europe. Adelheid was certainly one of the central figures of the Ottonian dynasty during her years as empress and during her widowhood. The systematic study of the diplomas in which she acted as mediator alongside Otto I, Otto II and Otto III was an attempt to understand the basis of her political relevance. The result of the diplomatic research was analyzed through the method of social network analysis, which offered a new and global point of view on the issue and allowed to better focus on the various actors that composed the network of relationships of Adelheid during her life.

description: The AGB star $π^{1}$ Gruis has a known companion (at a separation of ~400 AU) which cannot explain the strong deviations from the spherical symmetry of the CSE. Recently, hydrodynamic simulations of mass transfer in closer binary systems have successfully reproduced the spiral-shaped CSEs found around a handful of sources. There is growing evidence for an even closer, undetected companion complicating the case of $π^{1}$ Gruis further. The improved spatial resolution allows for the investigation of the complex circumstellar morphology and the search for imprints on the CSE of the third component. We have observed the 12CO J=3-2 line emission from $π^{1}$ Gruis using both the compact and extended array of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The interferometric data has furthermore been combined with data from the ALMA total power (TP) array. The imaged brightness distribution has been used to constrain a non-local, non-LTE 3D radiative transfer model of the CSE. The high-angular resolution ALMA data have revealed the first example of a source on the AGB where both a faster bipolar outflow and a spiral pattern along the orbital plane can be seen in the gas envelope. The spiral can be traced in the low- to intermediate velocity, from 13 to 25 km s$^{-1}$, equatorial torus. The largest spiral-arm separation is $\approx$5".5 and consistent with a companion with an orbital period of $\approx$330 yrs and a separation of less than 70 AU. The kinematics of the bipolar outflow is consistent with it being created during a mass-loss eruption where the mass-loss rate from the system increased by at least a factor of 5 during 10-15 yrs. The spiral pattern is the result of an undetected companion. The bipolar outflow is the result of a rather recent mass-loss eruption event.

description: This experimental research investigates transverse particle segregation in a binary mixture of spherical particles in air. in a gravity driven. vertical channel flow. Glass beads with similar properties, except for size and color, are randomly mixed in an upper hopper at the entrance of a vertical channel. When roughened channel walls are employed. particles show segregation by size, with a preferred position of larger particles at the centerline and approximately 80% of the distance between the centerline and the side walls. The concentration of the particles is found based on grey-scale color distribution as recorded by an image processing system. The effects of variations in flow rate. wall surface conditions, mixture ratios and channel width on segregation are studied as a function of downstream distance.

description: We describe a numerical method to solve the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. The fluid variables are updated along each direction using the flux conservative, 2nd order, total variation diminishing (TVD), upwind scheme of Jin and Xin. The magnetic field is updated separately in two-dimensional advection-constraint steps. The electromotive force (EMF) is computed in the advection step using the TVD scheme, and this same EMF is used immediately in the constraint step in order to preserve \grad.B=0 without the need to store intermediate fluxes. Operator splitting is used to extend the code to three dimensions, and Runge-Kutta is used to get second order accuracy in time. The advantages of this code are high resolution per grid cell, second order accuracy in space and time, enforcement of the \grad.B=0 constraint to machine precision, no memory overhead, speed, and simplicity. A 3-D Fortran implementation less than 400 lines long is made freely available. We also implemented a fully scalable message-passing parallel MPI version. We present tests of the code on MHD waves and shocks.

description: Research and observations indicate climate change has and will have an impact on Ontario field crop production. Little research has been done to forecast how climate change might influence the Canadian Federal-Provincial Crop Insurance program, including its premium rates and reserve fund balances, in the future decades. This paper proposes using a mixture of two normal yield probability distribution model to model crop yield conditions under hypothetical climate change scenarios. Then superimposes Crop Insurance premium rate and reserve fund balance calculations onto the yield model to forecast their trends and fluctuation situations in the future decades. We find under the scenarios where climate change alters the probability of a lower yield year occurring and where climate change alters yield averages, both have more significant impacts on premium rates and reserve fund balances, compared to the scenarios where climate change alters yield variations. The results of this research will help Agricorp Ltd. identify the likely frequency and magnitude of both insurance premium rate fluctuations and reserve fund balance fluctuations under different climate change scenarios. Therefore the results can be used to help Agricorp Ltd. identify and forecast both premium rate fluctuation risk and reserve fund liquidity risk.

description: The method for calculating the ground-state energy and the optical conductivity spectra is developed for a system of a finite number of interacting arbitrary-coupling polarons in a spherical quantum dot with a parabolic confinement potential. The path-integral formalism for identical particles is used in order to take into account the fermion statistics. Using a generalization of the Jensen-Feynman variational principle, the ground-state energy of a confined N-polaron system is analyzed as a function of N and of the electron-phonon coupling strength. The calculated optical conductivity spectra of the N-polaron system in a quantum dot manifest features related to ground-state transitions between states with different total spin.

description: The overarching goal of nutrition labeling is to transform credence attributes into searchable cues, which would enable consumers to make appropriate choices at lower search costs. However, despite an abundance of food labeling information, asymmetries regarding appropriate healthy food choices largely persist. Thus, there is need for research that exposes consumer’s label usage and their level of concern about their health in order to understand the underlying motivations that may explain consumer behavior with regard to labels. In order to better understand how current food-health behavior and related perceptions over potential future health complications are affected by present labeling usage patterns, this study will estimate 1) the impact of nutrition label usage on individual’s perceived diet health concerns using alternative propensity score matching (PSM) techniques; 2) the effect of nutrition label usage on consumer’s stated concerns on (a) diet-health, (b) obesity, and (c) general future wellbeing controlling for a wide variety of socio-demographic variables, food-intake and choice related behaviors, and lifestyles factors; and 3) conduct a series of tests and sensitivity analyses to assure robustness of matching indicators and to validate impacts of treatment effects for label users and non-users. The analysis utilizes data from the 2008 National Health and Wellness Survey conducted by Nielsen Canada. As the results suggest, consumers are not aware or use nutrition labeling information. In order to change dietary behavior, policy makers may need to adopt instruments that account for differences with regard to food preferences, food shopping habits, and overall usage patterns of food/nutrition labeling information.

description: In this article we compute the black hole entropy by finding a classical central charge of the Virasoro algebra of a Liouville theory using the Cardy formula. This is done by performing a dimensional reduction of the Einstein Hilbert action with the ansatz of spherical symmetry and writing the metric in conformally flat form. We obtain two coupled field equations. Using the near horizon approximation the field equation for the conformal factor decouples. The one concerning the conformal factor is a Liouville equation, it posses the symmetry induced by a Virasoro algebra. We argue that it describes the microstates of the black hole, namely the generators of this symmetry do not change the thermodynamical properties of the black hole.

description: Despite various novel broken symmetry states have been revealed in bilayer graphene (BLG) experimentally, the atomic-scale spectroscopic investigation has been greatly limited. Here, we study high-resolution spectroscopic characteristics of high-quality BLG and observe rich broken-symmetry-induced Landau level (LL) splittings, including valley, spin and orbit, by using ultralow-temperature and high-magnetic-field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS). Our experiment demonstrates that both the spin and orbital splittings of the lowest n = (0,1) LL depend sensitively on its filling and exhibit an obvious enhancement at partial-filling states. More unexpectedly, the splitting of a fully-filled and valley-polarized LL is also enhanced by partial filling of the LL with the opposite valley. These results reveal significant many-body effects in this system. At half filling of the n = (0,1) LL (filling factor v = 0), a single-particle intermediate v = 0 phase, which is the transition state between canted antiferromagnetic and layer-polarized states in the BLG, is measured and directly visualized at the atomic scale. Our atomic-scale STS measurement gives direct evidence that this intermediate v = 0 state is the predicted orbital-polarized phase.

description: The basal conglomerates (‘Linsishan Conglomerate’, LC, herein) are exposed discontinuously along the northern part of the Sulu Orogenic Belt (SOB) and the southern part of the Jiaobei Terrane. Studying these conglomerates can offer key constrains for the formation age of the Jiaolai Basin and improve our understanding of the uplift and erosional histories of the SOB and Jiaobei Terrane, which are still in great controversy. In Huangyadi section, the LC is characterized as debris-flow deposits, channel deposits, and sheet-flow deposits. However, in Shanjiao section, the LC is changed to sheet-flow and sieve deposits, as well as debris-flow and channel deposits. These deposit characteristics indicate an unstable tectonic setting during initial opening stage of the basin. Based on the data of conglomerate component, palaeocurrent, and debris zircons ages, it can be inferred that the sediments in the Laiyang region were sourced from the Jiaobei Terrane and Northern Sulu Orogenic Belt (NSOB), and the sediments in the Zhucheng and Wulian regions were derived from the Jiaobei Terrane and the Southern Sulu Orogenic Belt (SSOB). Besides, the sediments in the Haiyang and Jimo regions were provided by the NSOB and SSOB, respectively. The significant SHRIMP U–Pb ages of a tuff developing in the LC has been obtained, indicating that 149 ± 2.5 Ma is the oldest age constraint for the Jiaolai Basin. In addition, our result shows that the Latest Jurassic (ca. 149 Ma) may be a critical time; before this time, the Jiaobei Terrane and the SOB experienced a rapid uplift with minimal uplift velocity (~0.9 km/Ma); since then, the Orogen began to collapse and a series of basins formed rapidly in its core, which indicate the tectonic stress regime of the Dabie-Sulu Orogen varied from compressional stress to tensile stress.

description: We investigate the economic impact of partial implementation of COOL on U.S. shrimp trade by developing a conceptual model that encompasses horizontal and vertical product differentiation. Horizontal differentiation is characterized by explicitly accounting for differences in shrimp processing – fresh or frozen versus peeled, canned, or breaded. Vertical differentiation in the conceptual model is captured by two scenarios – presence and absence of COOL – on trade between major shrimp exporters and United States. COOL implementation results in quality disclosure through origin labeling and additional costs of labeling on fresh and frozen shrimp sold at retail while processed shrimp products are excluded from labeling. The conceptual model indicates a change in product mix with COOL implementation: the relative share of processed shrimp increases when compared to unprocessed shrimp. Empirically testing the hypothesis using an econometric model shows there is no change in the product mix in the two scenarios. The results however change depending on the choice of variable used to proxy quality.

description: This work proposes kernel transform learning. The idea of dictionary learning is well known; it is a synthesis formulation where a basis is learnt along with the coefficients so as to generate or synthesize the data. Transform learning is its analysis equivalent; the transforms operates or analyses on the data to generate the coefficients. The concept of kernel dictionary learning has been introduced in the recent past, where the dictionary is represented as a linear combination of non-linear version of the data. Its success has been showcased in feature extraction. In this work we propose to kernelize transform learning on line similar to kernel dictionary learning. An efficient solution for kernel transform learning has been proposed especially for problems where the number of samples is much larger than the dimensionality of the input samples making the kernel matrix very high dimensional. Kernel transform learning has been compared with other representation learning tools like autoencoder, restricted Boltzmann machine as well as with dictionary learning (and its kernelized version). Our proposed kernel transform learning yields better results than all the aforesaid techniques; experiments have been carried out on benchmark databases.
The synthesis and reactivity of new niobium (V) polyhydrides

description: The synthesis of new niobium polyhydrides by high pressure hydrogenation of Cp*NbMe_4 in the presence of trapping phosphines is reported. The complexes Cp*NbL_2H_4, L=PMe_3, PMe_2Ph, PMe_2Cy, and L_2=bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, are described. They exchange D_2 into the hydride positions, and react hydridically with methanol and acetone to give alkoxide species. Reactions with CO give reduced metal carbonyl phosphine complexes. All these reactions (except the reaction with methanol) appear to proceed with loss of phosphine as the rate limiting step. Reactions of the hydride species with group VI carbonyls, and with ethylene, are presented. The novel reactivity of Cp*Nb(PMe_2Ph)_2H_4 with H_2 to give Cp*Nb(PMe_2Cy)_2H_4 is discussed.

description: The single-photon scattering in a rectangular waveguide by a V-type three-level emitter is studied for large range of input-photon energy beyond the single-mode region. By using Lippmann-Schwinger formalism, the necessary and sufficient conditions of complete transmission and complete reflection are derived analytically. In the single-mode region, the complete transmission caused by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and the complete reflection due to Fano resonance can both be achieved by adjusting the emitter's parameters. But in the multi-mode region, except that the input-state is prepared in a coherent superposition state, the perfect reflection is absent, and the photon inevitably enters other propagation modes due to the indirectly interaction between waveguide modes mediated by the emitter. Other remarkable features in the photon transport induced by the finite cross section includes the blueshift of the reflection resonance and the cutoff-frequency effect.

description: The true costs of high performance computing are currently dominated by software. Addressing these costs requires shifting to high productivity languages such as Matlab. MatlabMPI is a Matlab implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard and allows any Matlab program to exploit multiple processors. MatlabMPI currently implements the basic six functions that are the core of the MPI point-to-point communications standard. The key technical innovation of MatlabMPI is that it implements the widely used MPI ``look and feel'' on top of standard Matlab file I/O, resulting in an extremely compact (~250 lines of code) and ``pure'' implementation which runs anywhere Matlab runs, and on any heterogeneous combination of computers. The performance has been tested on both shared and distributed memory parallel computers (e.g. Sun, SGI, HP, IBM, Linux and MacOSX). MatlabMPI can match the bandwidth of C based MPI at large message sizes. A test image filtering application using MatlabMPI achieved a speedup of ~300 using 304 CPUs and ~15% of the theoretical peak (450 Gigaflops) on an IBM SP2 at the Maui High Performance Computing Center. In addition, this entire parallel benchmark application was implemented in 70 software-lines-of-code, illustrating the high productivity of this approach. MatlabMPI is available for download on the web (www.ll.mit.edu/MatlabMPI).

description: Software services play a crucial role in daily life, with automated actions determining access to resources and information. Trusting service providers to perform these actions fairly and accurately is essential, yet challenging for users to verify. Even with publicly available codebases, the rapid pace of development and the complexity of modern deployments hinder the understanding and evaluation of service actions, including for experts.Hence, current trust models rely heavily on the assumption that service providers follow best practices and adhere to laws and regulations, which is increasingly impractical and risky, leading to undetected flaws and data leaks.

In this paper, we argue that gathering verifiable evidence during software development and operations is needed for creating a new trust model.Therefore, we present TrustOps, an approach for continuously collecting verifiable evidence in all phases of the software life cycle, relying on and combining already existing tools and trust-enhancing technologies to do so. For this, we introduce the adaptable core principles of TrustOps and provide a roadmap for future research and development.

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Experiments have been conducted in the GALCIT Supersonic Shear Layer Facility to investigate some aspects of mass injection in subsonic diffusers.

The goal of the experiment is to study aerodynamic control in subsonic diffusers by investigating downstream velocity profiles. These experiments were designed to address several key issues like effects due to velocity change (for one-stream and two-stream flows), and effects due to density variation. The effect of the separation bubble (stall flow) on the performance of the diffuser has also been investigated.

One-stream experiments were performed with non-reacting (cold) runs using [...] in the high-speed section at different velocities and zero velocity at the low-speed section. Detailed analysis of data obtained shows a slight dependency of the reattachment point of the separation bubble on Reynolds number. As the flow rate in the high-speed section increases, the reattachment point of the separation bubble shifted slightly downstream. Two-stream flow (low- and high-speed sections) experiments were performed using [...] in the high-speed section and a density-matched mixture of Argon/Helium in the low-speed section. As the mass injection is increased in the low-speed section, the reattachment point of the separation bubble moved further downstream. While keeping the same velocity ratio (low- and high-speed sections), as the overall flow velocity increases, the reattachment point moved further downstream. Also, experiments with a higher density ratio using Argon in the low-speed section and [...] in the high-speed section were performed. As the density of the low-speed section increases, the reattachment point of the separation bubble moved upstream due to shear-layer entrainment effect. Finally, as the reattachment point of the separation bubble shifted further downstream, the diffuser pressure coefficient decreases, therefore, the performance of the diffuser is degraded.

Schlieren flow visualization and pressure probes were used in the experiments.

description: Carbon allotropes built from rings of two-coordinate atoms, known as cyclo[n]carbons, have fascinated chemists for many years, but until now they could not be isolated or structurally characterized, due to their high reactivity. We generated cyclo[18]carbon (C18) using atom manipulation on bilayer NaCl on Cu(111) at 5 Kelvin by eliminating carbon monoxide from a cyclocarbon oxide molecule C24O6. Characterization of cyclo[18]carbon by high-resolution atomic force microscopy revealed a polyynic structure with defined positions of alternating triple and single bonds. The high reactivity of cyclocarbon and cyclocarbon oxides allows covalent coupling between molecules to be induced by atom manipulation, opening an avenue for the synthesis of other carbon allotropes and carbon-rich materials from the coalescence of cyclocarbon molecules.

description: In multielectron bubbles, the electrons form an effectively two-dimensional layer at the inner surface of the bubble in helium. The modes of oscillation of the bubble surface (the ripplons) are influenced by the charge redistribution of the electrons along the surface. The dispersion relation for these charge redistribution modes (`longitudinal plasmons') is derived and the coupling of these modes to the ripplons is analysed. We find that the ripplon-plasmon coupling in a multielectron bubble differs markedly from that of electrons a flat helium surface. An equation is presented relating the spherical harmonic components of the charge redistribution to those of the shape deformation of the bubble.

description: We study the gas kinematics traced by the 21-cm emission of a sample of six HI$-$rich low surface brightness galaxies classified as ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). Using the 3D kinematic modelling code $\mathrm{^{3D}}$Barolo we derive robust circular velocities, revealing a startling feature: HI$-$rich UDGs are clear outliers from the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, with circular velocities much lower than galaxies with similar baryonic mass. Notably, the baryon fraction of our UDG sample is consistent with the cosmological value: these UDGs are compatible with having no "missing baryons" within their virial radii. Moreover, the gravitational potential provided by the baryons is sufficient to account for the amplitude of the rotation curve out to the outermost measured point, contrary to other galaxies with similar circular velocities. We speculate that any formation scenario for these objects will require very inefficient feedback and a broad diversity in their inner dark matter content.

description: Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are characterized by frequent routing path failures due to the high mobility caused by the sudden changes of the direction of vehicles. The routing paths between two different vehicles should be established with this challenge in mind. Stability and connectedness are a mandatory condition to ensure a robust and reliable data delivery. The idea behind this work is to exploit a new reactive routing technique to provide regulated and well-connected routing paths. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or what are referred to as drones can be both involved in the discovery process and be full members in these discovered paths in order to avoid possible disconnections on the ground when the network is sparsely connected. The different tests of this technique are performed based on NS-2 simulator and the outcomes are compared with those of related on-demand routing protocols dedicated for VANETs. Interesting results are distinguished showing a reduced end-to-end delay and a high delivery ratio, which proving that this heterogeneous communication between vehicles and UAVs is able to extend the network connectivity.
