Abstract: The mixing of a supersonic with a subsonic stream is treated in a one-dimensional, ideal gas analysis to determine when the mixed flow can be supersonic and to reveal the relationship between ...

Abstract: A numerical solution is presented for the laminar start-up flow in a circular pipe. It is an extension of the Szymanski solution to include a parameter accounting for the head that must be ...

Abstract: A thermal time-constant correlation based on experimental data is presented for gas-charged hydraulic accumulators. This correlation, along with the thermal timeconstant model, permits accurate ...

Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator is often modeled as a gas spring following a polytropic process, but this fails to properly account for the dissipative effects of heat transfer which produce damping ...

Abstract: An algorithm for computing nonflow gas processes is based on the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state and a thermal time constant to describe heat transport. Specific results are presented for ...

Abstract: A radial ejector with two degrees of geometric control is constructed and tested at pressures ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 atmospheres and entrainment ratios ranging from 0 to 2. Maximum efficiencies ...
