"Get off the track!" A song for emancipation, sung by The Hutchinsons, . . .

An illustrated sheet music cover for an abolitionist song composed by Jesse Hutchinson, Jr. The song is dedicated to antislavery editor Nathaniel Peabody Rogers, "As a mark of esteem for his intrepidity in the cause of Human Rights." It is illustrated with an allegory of the triumph of abolitionism. In a landscape a railroad car, "Immediate Emancipation," is drawn by a locomotive named "Liberator" and followed by another locomotive, the "Repealer," which pulls a second car "Liberty Votes and Ballot Boxes." The "Liberator" was the name of a prominent antislavery newspaper published in Boston by William Lloyd Garrison. "Repealer" probably refers to the Irish insurgent movement in support of the repeal of the Legislative Union, a cause with which many abolitionists in the United States were allied. Flags bearing the names of two other abolitionist publications, the "Herald of Freedom" and "American Standard" (i.e., Rogers's" National Anti-slavery Standard), fly from the "Emancipation" car. The trains approach a bend in the track, nearing a station where a number of people gather to welcome them. Beyond the station is a church. In the distance two other trains, one marked "Van" and the other "Clay," crash and their passengers flee. These allude to Democrat and Whig presidential hopefuls Martin Van Buren and Henry Clay. The reference to Van Buren suggests that the music-sheet appeared before the Democratic convention in May, when James K. Polk, not Van Buren, received the party's presidential nomination.Entered . . . 1844 by J. Hutchinson.Thayer & Co's.

Numerical Simulations of Heat Loss Effect on Premixed Jet Flame Using Flamelet Generated Manifold Combustion Model

Numerical simulations are performed on a combustor setup which represents the recirculating behaviour of a combustor in the flameless combustion regime. Previous experimental and numerical studies showed that heat loss is prominent for this setup. Here, the amount of heat loss through the combustor walls is quantified and its effect analysed. For this a non-adiabatic Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) model is employed. This model uses tabulated chemistry in combination with governing equations for a small set of control variables to accurately describe a turbulent flame. In the current implementation, equations for enthalpy and the mean and variance of the reaction progress variable are solved. Turbulence-chemistry interactions are incorporated through a presumed-PDF approach. In contrast to earlier work, the model is applied in the commercial solver Ansys CFX, coupled to a low-mach, compressible, steady-state Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence model. Results from the simulations show that heat loss consumes over 30% of the combustor’s thermal power. Despite this large heat loss, its effect on the combustion chemistry is small. The inclusion of heat loss in the chemistry tabulation does improve the prediction of the velocity and temperature field in the primary reaction zone. However, the effect of including heat loss is limited in the prediction of species concentrations

Experimental characterization of an unsteady laminar separation bubble on a pitching wing

The laminar separation bubble (LSB) that forms on the suction side of a modified NACA 64 3-618 airfoil at a chord-based Reynolds number of Re = 200 , 000 is studied using wind tunnel experiments. First, the LSB is characterized over a range of static angles of attack, in terms of the locations of separation, transition and reattachment—using surface pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry (PIV) and infrared thermography (IT). For the conditions tested, excellent agreement between the techniques is obtained. Subsequently, a pitching motion is imposed on the wind tunnel model, with reduced frequencies up to k = 0.25. While surface pressure measurements and PIV are not affected by the change in experimental conditions, the infrared approach is impaired by the thermal response of the surface. To overcome this, an extension of the differential infrared thermography (DIT) method for detecting the three characteristics of an unsteady LSB is considered. All three experimental techniques indicate a hysteresis in bubble location between the pitch up and pitch down phases of the motion, caused by the effect of the aerodynamic unsteadiness on the adverse pressure gradient. However, the DIT measurements suggest a larger hysteresis, which is attributed to the thermal response time of the model surface. The experimental results measured with the pressure sensors reveal that the hysteresis in bubble location is larger than the hysteresis in lift, indicating that the observed bubble hysteresis is not purely due to instantaneous flow conditions, but has an inherent component as well.

Características das partes não-integrantes da carcaça de novilhos 5/8Nelore 3/8Charolês abatidos em três estádios de desenvolvimento Characteristics of non integrant parts of the carcass of 5/8 Nellore 3/8 Charolais steers slaughtered at three maturity stages

Foram avaliadas as características das partes não-integrantes da carcaça de novilhos 5/8 Nelore 3/8 Charolês terminados em confinamento e abatidos com 425, 467 e 510 kg. Os períodos de alimentação foram 30, 65 e 94 dias, respectivamente. A idade e peso médio iniciais foram de 660 dias e 361 kg, respectivamente. A dieta alimentar, com relação volumoso:concentrado de 60:40 com base na matéria seca (MS), continha 10,25% de proteína bruta e 3,18 Mcal de energia digestível/kg MS. De acordo com estimativa da equação de regressão, os rendimentos de carcaças quente e fria elevaram com o aumento no peso de abate (P). No entanto, quando expressos por peso de corpo vazio (PCV), houve similaridade entre os diferentes tratamentos. Quando os componentes foram expressos em valores absolutos, couro, total de componentes externos (TCE), fígado, total de órgãos vitais (TOV), total de gorduras internas (TGORD) e total de trato gastrintestinal vazio (TGVZ) apresentaram incremento com o aumento no P. Quando expressos por 100 kg de P e PCV, os componentes couro, TCE, fígado e TGVZ apresentaram similaridade; coração e TOV, decréscimo; e TGORD, acréscimo, com o aumento no P. Houve correlação positiva entre peso de fígado com consumo de matéria seca (r = 0,91) e com energia líquida de mantença (ELm) (r = 0,91) e entre TGORD com ELm (r = 0,78).<br>The characteristics of the body parts non-integrant of the carcass of 5/8 Nellore 3/8 Charolais steers feedlot finished and slaughtered with 425, 467 and 510 kg, were evaluated. The feeding periods were 30, 65 and 94 days, respectively. The average initial age and weight were 660 days and 361 kg, respectively. The diet, with 60% roughage and 40% concentrate dry matter basis (DM), contained 10.25% of crude protein and 3.18 Mcal of digestible energy/kg DM. According to regression equation estimate, the hot and cold carcass dressing increased as slaughter weight (SW) increased. However, when expressed per empty body weight (EBW), similarity among the different treatments was verified. When the components were expressed in absolute values, rawhide, total external components (TEC), liver, total vital organs (TVO), total internal fats (TFAT) and total empty gastrintestinal tract (TEGT) showed increase with increase in SW. When expressed per 100 kg of body weight and EBW, the rawhide, TEC, liver and TEGT components showed similarity; heart and TVO showed decrease; and TFAT showed increase, with increase in SW. Positive correlations between liver weight with dry matter intake (r=.91) and with net energy maintenance (NEm) (r=.91), and between TFAT with NEm (r=.78) were observed
