    Assessment of prediction models for dividing two-phase flow at small T-junctions

    No full text
    The header/channels assembly of a compact heat exchanger can be simulated as an accumulation of small T-junctions. Previous researches showed that the dividing flow characteristics in the small T-junctions are different from those in large T-junctions. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the prediction models for a dividing two-phase annular flow in a small T-junction (less than 10 mm in hydraulic diameter) reported previously by comparing them with the experimental data. The model of Hwang et al. (1988) best fits the measured results. This is considered due to smaller difference between the dividing streamlines of gas and liquid at the junction with the smaller channel size, which is well represented by the curvature model of Hwang et al. (1988). ? 2005 R.T. Edwards, Inc

    'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth

    The extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ. Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person' in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the Cappadocian Fathers and Barth. In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption. Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards. Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit- honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the glory of God is his ontic doxological concern

    Accounting expertise in litigation and dispute resolution

    No full text
    This paper looks at the role of experts from both a United Kingdom and North America perspective. The paper starts by pointing out the important role of expert evidence in assisting the tier of fact. The distinction between accountants as fact witnesses and as expert witnesses is identified. The expert’s primary obligation is to the court not the hiring party. Expert evidence is not a substitute for the exercise of the court’s own judgement. The qualities of expert evidence are discussed, as are the significance of the necessary qualities of such expert evidence. A lack of these qualities increases the likelihood that civil liability will be imposed on expert witnesses. The paper outlines the steps to be taken in engaging expert accountants.Not applicableti, ab - TS 20.02.1

    A review of progress on direct and large-eddy simulation

    No full text
    A review is given of direct and large-eddy simulation which is intended to summarize state-of-the-art research presented during the 1999 Isaac Newton Institute Programme on Turbulence. Introductions to the techniques are given, along with examples of applications across a range of turbulent and transitional flow problems. Recent developments in techniques for large-eddy simulation are highlighted. The discussion includes a summary of the guidelines proposed during the programme for practical large-eddy simulations and comments on problem areas that require further research

    DNS and LES of Turbulence-Combustion Interactions

    No full text
    One of the most successful applications of direct numerical simulation (DNS) has been in the study of turbulent combustion. This is due to the ability of DNS to resolve the full range of time and length scales in which turbulence and chemical reactions interact with each other. One prominent example is the turbulent diffusion flame, in which turbulent mixing determines the main characters of combustion while chemical reactions strongly influence turbulence. The present chapter focuses on turbulence-combustion interactions in variable-density flows, in which turbulent fluctuations in pressure, density and other variables play important roles. The phenomena of combustion-generated turbulence, decreased Reynolds stress anisotropy, counter-gradient diffusion, and combustion-generated buoyancy can all be attributed to the coupling between turbulence and chemical heat release through density and pressure fluctuations. In contrast, the application of large eddy simulation (LES) in turbulent combustion has been slow and controversial, but carries a huge potential. The subgrid-scale modeling difficulties are not only related to the treatment of the highly non-linear chemical source term, but also connected to the handling of extra subgrid terms in the energy and species transport equations, as compared with the case of non-reacting flow. The existence of counter-gradient diffusion, and the significance of viscous diffusion and dissipation in combusting flow present particular challenges. Despite all the difficulties, LES has been successfully used in simulating turbulent reacting flows under comparable conditions as found in experiments, subject to certain limitations. One example is the simulation of buoyant reacting plumes in which flow transition, intermittency and fully-developed turbulence co-exist
