Erratum: “Fiber Orientation Control Related to Papermaking” [ASME J. Fluids Eng., 2007, 129(4), pp. 457–465]
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2009)Three errors have been detected in a further analysis of the data.The first error is that the reported frame rate of the camera is incorrect. This means that the velocities of the fibers ... -
Systematic Approaches for Design of Distribution Manifolds Having the Same Per-Port Outflow
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2009)Two geometric modalities were investigated to determine their effects on the degree of uniformity of the flow issuing from a manifold through a discrete set of exit ports. The goal of the ... -
