Book Measurements of the Heat Transfer Coefficient Distribution on Flat and Ribbed Surfaces with Interrupted Heating Using Thermochromic Liquid Crystals

Download or read book Measurements of the Heat Transfer Coefficient Distribution on Flat and Ribbed Surfaces with Interrupted Heating Using Thermochromic Liquid Crystals written by Jason D. Wolf and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of the heat transfer coefficient distribution on flat and ribbed surfaces with interrupted heating are presented. One application of this type of thermal boundary condition is the cooling of surface mounted modules in electronic packaging. Heating occurs at the modules, with no heating between the modules. The heat transfer measurements in the present study are made using the heated-coating method with a thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC). The "coating" is vacuum-deposited gold on a plastic sheet, which is mounted on a Styrofoam surface. The gold film is electrically heated to produce the surface heat flux. The surface temperature is measured by capturing color images of the TLC, using the hue technique. These surface temperature plots are transformed into heat transfer coefficient distributions on the surface of the models. Interrupted heating on the flat surface is obtained by heating strips perpendicular to the freestream flow, with insulated spaces between the strips. The ribbed surface is heated on the top of the ribs only, with insulated unheated cavities in-between. The results show that, as expected, the local heat transfer coefficient is higher on the heated strips of the flat surface interrupted heating case, than would be present at the same locations with a uniform heat flux. The interruption of the thermal boundary layer at each unheated section allows it to "reset", thereby causing the higher heat transfer on the following heated section. The ribbed model shows a slight increase in heat transfer on the ribs above that of the flat plate interrupted heating model. The cavities appear to introduce mixing that causes this change. The increase in h due to the ribs is small, however, when compared to the effect of the interrupted heating.

Book Measuring Contagion with a Bayesian Time Varying Coefficient Model

Download or read book Measuring Contagion with a Bayesian Time Varying Coefficient Model written by Mr.Matteo Ciccarelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose using a Bayesian time-varying coefficient model estimated with Markov chain-Monte Carlo methods to measure contagion empirically. The proposed measure works in the joint presence of heteroskedasticity and omitted variables and does not require knowledge of the timing of the crisis. It distinguishes contagion not only from interdependence but also from structural breaks and can be used to investigate positive as well as negative contagion. The proposed measure appears to work well using both simulated and actual data.

Book Applying the Gini Coefficient to measure inequality of water use in the Olifants River water management area  South Africa

Download or read book Applying the Gini Coefficient to measure inequality of water use in the Olifants River water management area South Africa written by Cullis, J. and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2007 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study explores the application of the Gini Coefficient, which has hitherto only been used for income and land distribution, to quantify the distribution of water resources. The tool is tested in the water-stressed Olifants Water Management Area, in South Africa. Using readily available information on water use registrations, water use estimates, and census data, two versions of the Gini Coefficient are calculated. The first measures the distribution of the allocation of direct water use in rural areas and was estimated at 0.96 in the study area. In other words, 99.5 percent of the rural households are entitled to useonly 5 percent of the available water. The second version calculates the distribution of the indirect benefits of water use in the form of direct employment. This is shown to have a Gini Coefficient of 0.64. Using the Gini Coefficient an assessment was also made of the impacts of different policy scenarios. It was found that by more than doubling the amount of water used by rural households from the current 225 cubic meters per household per annum (m3/hh/annum) to 610 m3/hh/annum, which would enable each household to meet its basic human needs of 50 litres/person/day and irrigate 1,000 square meters (m2), would reduce the Gini Coefficient significantly. Yet, this would only require the large-scale registered users to reduce their current irrigation water use entitlement by 6 percent or the largest ten users to reduce their use by 20 percent each.

Book The Universal Coefficient Theorem and Quantum Field Theory

Download or read book The Universal Coefficient Theorem and Quantum Field Theory written by Andrei-Tudor Patrascu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes a new connection between algebraic geometry, topology, number theory and quantum field theory. It offers a pedagogical introduction to algebraic topology, allowing readers to rapidly develop basic skills, and it also presents original ideas to inspire new research in the quest for dualities. Its ambitious goal is to construct a method based on the universal coefficient theorem for identifying new dualities connecting different domains of quantum field theory. This thesis opens a new area of research in the domain of non-perturbative physics—one in which the use of different coefficient structures in (co)homology may lead to previously unknown connections between different regimes of quantum field theories. The origin of dualities is an issue in fundamental physics that continues to puzzle the research community with unexpected results like the AdS/CFT duality or the ER-EPR conjecture. This thesis analyzes these observations from a novel and original point of view, mainly based on a fundamental connection between number theory and topology. Beyond its scientific qualities, it also offers a pedagogical introduction to advanced mathematics and its connection with physics. This makes it a valuable resource for students in mathematical physics and researchers wanting to gain insights into (co)homology theories with coefficients or the way in which Grothendieck's work may be connected with physics.
