Ocena parametrów strumieni rozpylonych wytwarzanych przez dysze wodne różnego typu
No full textPurpose: The purpose of the research was to determine the parameters of the micro- and macro-structure of the streams generated by nozzles of different types, and to identify potential applications of the tested water nozzles, including firefighting and air pollution removal.
Project and methods: TF6 FCN, TF6 V, NF 15 and CW 50 water nozzles were tested. At supply pressures of 0.2 MPa, 0.4 MPa and 0.6 MPa, the basic parameters of micro- and macrostructure of the streams were measured and determined: flow rate, spray angle, mass distribution of liquid on the surface (spray intensity), non-uniformity of spray density distribution, and average droplet diameters and spray spectrum. A sputter spectrum analyser, using the photoelectric method, was used to determine the microstructural parameters of the stream.
Results: The tested nozzles generated dispersed streams with different parameters. Among the analysed nozzles, the highest degree of dispersion was obtained for the TF 6 FCN sample, whose average Sauter mean diameter (SMD) reached a value of 217.3 µm. In comparison, for the NF15 nozzle, this parameter was 945 µm. The spray spectra indicate a high homogeneity of water dispersion in the stream produced by the nozzles TF 6 FCN and CW 50. From the distribution of mass sprinkling density, the CW 50 nozzle shows the greatest uniformity of spraying. At the same time, however, it reports a small amount of water, since the value of the spray density for this product did not exceed 100 g/( m2 · s), while for the NF 15 nozzle it was more than 2,700 g/( m2 · s). The obtained spray angles were close to those declared by the nozzle manufacturer. In the tests of all samples, a slight effect of supply pressure on the values of this parameter was observed.
Conclusions: Among other things, the tests made it possible to conclude that in the range of supply pressures of 0.2÷0.6 MPa, the values of disperse angle and spray area of the analysed nozzles were constant or the recorded differences were insignificant. In addition, it was determined that in the case of nozzles with full spray cones, an increase in supply pressure (within the range of declared operating values) has little effect on changing the parameters of the micro- and macro-structure of the stream. The conducted tests showed the potential use of two nozzles (TF6 FCN, CW 50) in low-pressure fog extinguishing systems producing fog with SMD droplet diameters > 200 µm. For the absorption of hazardous substances, it is recommended.Cel: Celem badań było określenie parametrów mikro- i makrostruktury strumieni wytwarzanych przez dysze różnego typu oraz wskazanie potencjalnych zastosowań badanych dysz wodnych, w tym do gaszenia pożarów i usuwania zanieczyszczeń z powietrza.
Projekt i metody: Badaniom poddano dysze wodne TF6 FCN, TF6 V, NF 15 oraz CW 50. Przy ciśnieniu zasilania równym 0,2 MPa, 0,4 MPa oraz 0,6 MPa zmierzono i wyznaczono podstawowe parametry mikro- i makrostruktury strumieni: natężenie przepływu, kąt rozpylenia, rozkład masowy cieczy na powierzchni (intensywność zraszania), nierównomierność rozkładu gęstości zraszania oraz średnie średnice kropel i widmo rozpylenia. Do określenia paramentów mikrostrukturalnych strumienia zastosowano analizator widma rozpylenia, wykorzystujący metodę fotoelektryczną.
Wyniki: Badane dysze generowały strumienie rozpylone o różnych parametrach. Wśród analizowanych dysz największy stopień dyspersji uzyskano dla próbki TF 6 FCN, której średnia średnica Sautera (SMD) dochodziła do wartości 217.3 µm. Dla porównania w przypadku dyszy NF15 parametr ten wynosił 945 µm. Widma rozpylenia wskazują na dużą jednorodność dyspersji wody w strumieniu wytworzonym przez dysze: TF 6 FCN i CW 50. Z rozkładu masowej gęstości zraszania wynika, że dysza CW 50 wykazuje największą równomierność zraszania. Jednocześnie podaje ona jednak małą ilość wody, ponieważ wartość gęstości zraszania dla tego wyrobu nie przekroczyła 100 g/(m2 · s), podczas gdy dla dyszy NF 15 wynosiła ona ponad 2700 g/(m2 · s). Uzyskane kąty rozpylenia były zbliżone do deklarowanych przez producenta dysz. W badaniach wszystkich próbek zaobserwowano niewielki wpływ ciśnienia zasilania na wartości tego parametru.
Wnioski: Przeprowadzone badania pozwoliły stwierdzić m.in., że w przedziale ciśnień zasilania 0,2÷0,6 MPa wartości kąta rozpylenia oraz powierzchni zraszania analizowanych dysz były stałe lub zarejestrowane różnice była nieznaczne. Dodatkowo ustalono, że w przypadku dysz o pełnych stożkach zraszania wzrost ciśnienia zasilania (w zakresie deklarowanych wartości pracy) ma mały wpływ na zmianę parametrów mikro- i makrostruktury strumienia. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały możliwości potencjalnego zastosowania dwóch dysz (TF6 FCN, CW 50) w niskociśnieniowych mgłowych systemach gaśniczych wytwarzających mgłę o średnicy kropel SMD > 200 µm. Do celów absorpcji substancji niebezpiecznych rekomenduje się zastosowanie dysz o dużym kącie rozpylenia i pełnym stożku zraszania, które – jak pokazały testy – wytwarzają jednorodne strumienie o małej średnicy kropel
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
