Abstract: The ordinary hydrostatic air bearing requires a very smooth surface upon which to operate. A flexible membrane used as part of the air bearing eliminates this restriction. The membrane shape, ...

Abstract: Free surface flow with evaporation such as occurs in multi-stage sea water evaporators is modeled. Using one experimentally determined constant, i.e., the turbulent thermal conductivity of the ...

Abstract: Tests were conducted on a fluidic oscillator for the purpose of determining its potential use as a flowmeter. Water, Bayol 35, and an ethylene glycol-water mixture were used as the test fluids. ...
