Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide a valid solution for the major marine operational problems of the Panama Canal as derived from marine experience over many years. In so doing it gives parts of Isthmian canal history ...

Abstract: A previously derived equation for continuous jet penetration of solids (1) is combined with empirical equation for jet spreading and velocity decay in air. These equations are used to study ...

Abstract: The parabolic momentum and energy equations for axisymmetric compressible jet flows in zero pressure gradient can be expressed as first-order difference equations which relate the velocity and ...

Abstract: To evaluate the potential of cutting wood with high velocity water jets containing polymer additives it is necessary to develop general cutting equations that relate the cutting depth and ...

Abstract: The study attempts to develop a theory for the penetration of a wide range of solid materials by continuous high-velocity water jets. The theory is based on a control volume analysis to ...

Abstract: An all-pneumatic driving system is presented which provides close duplication of the Starling’s cardiac regulation function to an artificial left ventricle in mock circulation. The system, built ...

Abstract: A mathematical model of a sac-type artificial ventricle is presented. The model, derived from the mass conservation and energy equations of a deformable control volume, is used in a digital ...

Abstract: An existing analytical method for predicting the entrance region pressure drop and relating effects in straight ducts of arbitrary cross section is generalized to include the application of ...

Abstract: The region near the nozzle exit of laminar free jets is of interest to those involved with the design of fluid control and free jet sensing devices often applied in low cost automation. An ...
