Volume IV: Manufactured Things
No full textThis book is one of a five-volume series, Victorian Material Culture (general editors Tatiana Kontou and Vicky Mills), designed to present primary source materials on aspects of Victorian culture. This volume (volume IV) focuses on manufactured things, including textiles (fabrics, clothing, paper, carpets etc.), metal goods (cutlery, pins, locks etc.), and household items (including ceramics, glassware, soap, candles etc.). The volume's editors, Wynne and Yates, offer detailed introductions to each section as well as an extensive introduction to the whole volume, which demonstrates the significance of manufacturing to the political, social and cultural environment of the Victorian period

‘Much of Sala, and but Little of Russia''A Journey Due North,' Household Words, and the Birth of a Special Correspondent
No full textWhen Dickens sent George Augustus Sala as a special correspondent to Russia just after the end of the Crimean War, he launched him in what was to become his best-known role as a journalist. Comprising twenty-two articles which appeared in weekly instalments from 4 October 1856 to 14 March 1857, Sala's essays are of interest not only for their representation of one of the significant geographical and cultural "others" of the mid-Victorian imagination, but for their distinctive style, which is vibrant and polyglot, eschewing political analysis and statistical information in favour of the flâneur's "gastronomy of the eye" – the vivid metropolitan travel writing so popular with mid-nineteenth-century readers

Characterisation of the autoignition delay behaviour of n-heptane in the IQT combustion bomb using CFD modelling
No full textWord processed copy.Includes bibliographical references.When n-heptane was tested in the IQT device over a range of temperatures and pressures, the measured autoignition delay did not correlate with the chemical autoignition delay associated with a stoichiometric, homogenous mixture as predicted by detailed chemical kinetic models. ... This project involved an investigation to study and reconcile this discrepancy, using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques to explore the physical conditions prevailing in the IQT device. Specifically, CFD was used to model fuel injection into the IQT, this allowed a more accurate description of the fuel/air ratio and temperature history of the fuel inside the IQT combustion chamber than an assumption of global values. An empirical description of autoignition delay, developed by Yates et al. (2004), was then coupled to the CFD code: enabling the model to determine the progress of the fuel/air mixture to autoignition

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
