Velocity Profile in Fixed Beds: A Study on the Representativeness of the Experimental Measurement of Downstream Flow Characteristics

Although considerable progress has been made in the development of experimental techniques for investigating velocity distribution inside a fixed bed, these techniques were limited to special cases. Consequently, the velocity distribution is normally measured at downstream of the fixed bed and then this measurement is considered to be representative for the flow inside the bed. To evaluate the representativeness of this technique, this work presents a study of the change in the flow characteristics, starting from the boundary of the fixed bed within the pipe to a downstream position where the experimental measurement is taken, by using simulations based on computational fluid dynamics methods.     

Application of a Three-dimensional Wind Driven Circulation Model to Assess the Locations of New Drinking Water Intakes in Lake Ontario

A 3D transport model is used to perform a comparative analysis of several potential drinking water intakes located along the northwest shore of Lake Ontario between Toronto and Oshawa. The model is specifically used to assess each intake under both long- and short-term transport of a potential pollutant release from the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and potential and actual pollutant releases from local land sources respectively. A model based on a 500 m grid resolution is calibrated using data collected in the aftermath of the 1992 tritium spill at the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station and subsequently used to simulate long-term transport. A model based on a 100 m grid resolution is verified using drogue studies and used to simulate short-term transport events. Both models are used to assess pollutant levels at each of nine potential intake locations under different wind scenarios and pollutant releases. Field data for the study included water quality and flow measurements from local sewers and rivers, and estimates of pollutant levels from the local waste water treatment plants. This paper describes the model setup for both the long-term and short-term transport models, calibration using field data, long-term transport modeling, short-term transport modeling, and the comprehensive analysis approach used to evaluate the nine potential intake locations proposed. Results indicated that four intakes in particular outperformed other intake locations by maintaining bottom pollutant levels within governmental standards and warning times that exceeded 20 hours.     

A unified proposal for characteristic testing methods and figure of merit of 8‐kV/3.5‐kVA class light‐triggered thyristors

Power devices with high capability have been developed. 8‐kV/3.5‐kA‐class light‐triggered thyristors have the highest capability among power devices. These devices are used in the Kii Channel HVDC transmission system in Japan. In this paper, we report the extracted problems of conventional testing methods of 8‐kV/3.5‐kA‐class light‐triggered thyristors among manufacturers, and the proposed unified testing methods on the basis of element characteristics and operating conditions in the Kii Channel HVDC system. Furthermore, we propose a figure of merit for power devices for the practical use, and try to extract elements used at the Kii Channel HVDC system with small margins and low withstand capabilities. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Computation of concentrations of characteristic atoms of alloys in BCC structure

In this paper,taking Nb-Mo alloy system as an example,the equations of concentration of characteristic atoms of alloys in BCC structure were obtained on the basis of the idea of systematic science of alloys and the number of coordination atoms.The concentrations of characteristic atoms in B2-NbMo type ordered alloys were calculated as functions of ordering degree(s) and composition xMo.When s=smax,the concentrations of characteristic atoms of stoichiometric B2-NbMo intermetallic compound are equal to that o...

由西点军校成为企业家摇篮所引发的思考

提起西点，人们会自然而然地联想到这座举世闻名的军校所培养造就的无数杰出军事人才。在世人眼中，这里是军事家的摇篮，是荣誊和胜利的象征。然而，许多人并不清楚，西点除了为美国培养出众多的军事人才外，也造就了无数的企业家和商业精英。结合西点的成功，从职业伦理道德、心理素质训练、领导能力训练三方面入手，简要分析了高等教育中重“做事”教育轻“做人”教育的危害以及“做事”教育与“做人”教育紧密结合的重要性。     

基于小波分析的听觉滤波器组模型

对听觉滤波器组模型进行了研究。比较分析了伽马通(Gammatone)听觉滤波器组模型和基于小波分析的高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型,分别给出了预测听阈曲线并且与标准听闻曲线进行了比较,结果表明高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型更接近实际人耳滤波效果。将高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型的预测特征响度与德国朗德(Head Acoustics)公司的Artemis软件计算出的特征响度进行分析比较,结果表明,每个特征频带的响度差值都小于0.6 sone。
