Rethinking the Monstrous: Gender, Otherness, and Space in the Cinematic Storytelling of \u3cem\u3eArrival\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eThe Shape of Water\u3c/em\u3e

Through comparing the Hollywood films Arrival and The Shape of Water, this article explicates the films’ similar portrayals of gender, social collaboration, and monstrosity. Although the mainstream media in the United States has linked the idea of the monstrous to larger global forces, the two films suggest that “the monster” exists much closer to home. Hence, this article makes the case that monstrosity occurs in a variety of formulations such as the actions of national authorities like governmental officials that oppress and endanger a myriad of American citizens as well as newcomers. Further, this article makes the case that the films of Guillermo del Toro and Denis Villeneuve encourage viewers to reimagine the idea of monstrosity and its relationality to several spaces for the sake of the greater public good

Heat transfer between a turbulent round jet and a segmented flat plate perpendicular to it

Heat transfer between a room temperature, turbulent round jet and a segmented flat plate perpendicular to it has been investigated. The heat transfer surface consisted of invar rings insulated from each other with silicone rubber. The source of heat was steam at atmospheric pressure condensing on the back of the heat transfer surface. Since data were taken over a wide range of vertical distances between the nozzle and the flat surface both the potential cone and the fully developed regions of the jet were observed interacting with the heated plate. It was determined that two modes of heat transfer occur; one in the potential cone region and the other in the fully developed region of the jet striking the plate. Results were successfully correlated at the stagnation point for all vertical distances between the jet and the plate. The decrease in heat transfer coefficient with increasing radial distance from the stagnation point has been successfully correlated in both the potential cone and the fully developed regions of the jet as well
