Numerical study on heat transfer in laminar flow through co-rotating parallel disks
(Elsevier, 1984-11)
A theoretical model is developed to determine heat transfer performance in laminar flow through a pair of co-rotating parallel circular disks. the dual-stream flow influx enters the flow field from both sides, proceeding ...
Self-reproduction in cellular automata
(Elsevier, 1984-01)
Self-reproduction in cellular automata is discussed with reference to the models of von Neumann and Codd. The conclusion is drawn that although the capacity for universal construction is a sufficient condition for ...
Hidden correlations and the behavior of the dynamic structure at short times
(The American Institute of Physics, 1984-06-15)
Reexamination of methods for calculating the initial slope of the dynamic structure factor demonstrates the importance of covert correlations between the motions and subsequent positions of interacting colloidal particles. ...
Existence, uniqueness, and nondegeneracy of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-06)
We study positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem: Δ u ( x )+ f ( u ( x ))=0, x ∈ D n , u ( x )=0, x ∈∂ D n , where D n is an n -ball. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for solutions to be nondegenerate. We ...
Transient response of a packed bed for thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 1984-09)
An analysis, with experimental results, for the transient response of a packed bed thermal storage unit is presented. The analysis is in two spatial dimensions and considers the influence of both axial and radial thermal ...
Electron diffraction studies of supersonic jets. VI. Microdrops of benzene
(The American Institute of Physics, 1984-02-15)
Large clusters of benzene were generated in supersonic flow through a Laval nozzle with carrier gases He, Ne, or Ar. Benzene concentration and carrier pressures were varied over wide ranges. Diffraction patterns recorded ...
Total internal reflection fluorescence in biological systems
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
Fluorescence of labeled proteins near a solid/liquid interface can be excited by the evanescent field of total internal reflection to study reversible adsorption kinetics and surface diffusion.
Noncompact N=2 supergravity
(Elsevier, 1984-02-09)
A massive spin-one multiplet with central charge is coupled to N=2 supergravity. Compared to conventional gauge fields the anomalous magnetic moment of the spin-one particles is of the opposite sign. The construction of ...
Luminescent fractal reactions: Exciton fusion on percolation clusters
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
Experimental measurements of exciton annihilation in isotopic mixed crystals of naphthalene-h8 in naphthalene-d8 exhibit fractal reaction kinetics on samples well below and slightly above the percolation threshold. The ...
