Abstract: A series of experiments on the square-section bends was performed for determining the effects of the following shape differences of the surface-pressure distributions on cavitation inception. (a) ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of an infinite full journal bearing is presented for the case of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a radial magnetic field. The analysis is based on ...

Abstract: An approximate analytical study is made of inertia effects in magnetohydrodynamic lubrication flow between two parallel disks, one of which rotates at a constant angular velocity in an axial ...

Abstract: It is made clear that the influence of wall conductance on the pressure and load capacity of the magnetohydrodynamic thrust bearing must be considered when the inertia effect under the condition ...

Abstract: An approximate analysis of the magnetohydrodynamic flow between rotating disks shows that the torque of rotating disks is strongly affected by the wall conductance. Also, considering the application ...

Abstract: An experimental study of cavitation occurrence in benzene, kerosene, gasoline, and Freon 12 was conducted using a square-edged orifice. The experimental results of the desinent cavitation number ...

Abstract: An analytical method for predicting the cavitation occurrence is developed applying an analogy with the choking condition of two-phase flow. The effects of the presence of inert gas and ...

Abstract: Tear film thickness and pressure distribution under a tilting soft contact lens with peripheral slopes during the early stage of a blink are calculated for various flexibility and aspect ratios. ...

Abstract: Experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of cavitation on the discharge coefficient of venturi tubes of Herschel type, and on additional limitations that must be applied to existing ...
