Adaptive Control of Axisymmetric Jets by Cavities

Actuators capable of producing large amplitude oscillations at desired frequencies are needed in many flow control applications. In this dissertation, turbulent jets were actuated using self-sustaining oscillations in axisymmetric cavities. Tested geometries include baseline turbulent jets passing through axisymmetric cavities, with and without peripheral walls. Cavity length to depth ratio (Lc/Dc) was varied from 1 to 5 and data were collected at several intermediate steps. Tests were performed with air over a Reynolds number, based on jet exit diameter, range of 40,000 to 225,000 in low to high subsonic jet flow conditions. Pressure signals, 2D velocity data obtained using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and 2D axisymmetric Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling were concurrently used to analyze and understand the problem. Measurements on baseline turbulent jets showed that the near field coherent structures and their residence time are two important factors that could be manipulated to influence the initial growth rate of a jet. Frequency of oscillation of the pressure field within the cavity was primarily dependent on the length scale (length to depth ratio and the pipe diameter) of the cavity and the Mach number of the flow. Axisymmetric cavities with cavity length to depth ratio 1.5 –2.0, preferably 1.75, placed immediately after the exit of the jet exhibited a resonant condition between the axial shallow cavity mode and the radial acoustic mode of the pipe) with very high amplitude oscillations (in excess of 180 dB within the cavity) at moderate to high Reynolds number range of this study. Comparison with baseline jets based on centerline velocity decay and lateral jet spread rate showed that mixing characteristics had improved significantly. The potential core length (location of 90% jet exit velocity) for the best case was at 1D as compared to 5D for the baseline jet. Ensemble averages of different phases of an oscillation cycle (along the jet flow direction and in the cross-section) were used to recreate the oscillation cycle (flow visualization images, velocity and vorticity fields) and study the flow structures in the near field. Mode of oscillation (axial / helical) of the jet exiting the cavity was found to be dependent on the inlet and exit boundary conditions of the cavity. Cavities with sharp orifices at the inlet and exit boundaries had complex helical mode structures in the near field of the jet. When the exit boundary of the cavity had a short pipe instead of a sharp orifice, only axial mode vortex rings remained in the near field. However the jet entrainment was not as high, as in the case of sharp orifices

An Experimental Study of Low Speed Open Cavity Flows

The experimental work is part of an ongoing study aimed at understanding and controlling of cavity instabilities by passive or active steady or unsteady fluid injection. An experimental setup has been designed to quantitatively visualize the flow-field inside the cavity for varying relative dimensions (L/D ratios of 2.0, 2.67, 3.5 and 4.5, W/D of 3.33) at low subsonic speeds ranging from 55 ft/sec to 214 ft/sec using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The results showed that PIV could provide instantaneous velocity and other flow field data inside and above the cavity. The quality of data is good and may be used for validation of numerical predictions. Post-processing of the velocity data provided vorticity and other useful information in the measurement region. Velocity profiles along the shear layer showed shear layer growth towards downstream and a large re-circulation region inside the cavity. As L/D increased, the re-circulation zone was stronger and was located towards the rear of the cavity. Animations of the vorticity contour images clearly showed vortical disturbances in the shear layer that was convected downstream. It also showed the shear layer oscillating near the trailing edge indicating mass addition and removal process at the trailing edge. Unsteady pressure results showed the selected cavity configurations were oscillating in the selected speed range having peak sound pressure levels ranging from 115 to 133dB

Adopting Cloud ERP in Small and Medium Enterprises: Benefits and Challenges

As wide-ranging of IT services transfer to online services in the cloud, progressively many IT managers are thinking whether to move their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems there also. Small to Medium Enterprises of India are one of the most hostile implementers of ERP solutions. Most of the SMEs have implemented the traditional ERP Systems and have incurred a heavy cost while adopting these systems. Even though some SMEs have prospered in shifting a portion of their unconventional ERP services, for example human resources systems, into the cloud, many organizations keep on vague of undertaking the same with core supply chain and financial operations. There are a many aspects that organizations should consider in determining whether and how to use cloud-based services for their ERP systems. Industry type, company size, solution complexity, security needs, and several other organizational issues must all be addressed. In this Perspective, this paper presents the various cloud deployment and delivery models, ERP deployment models, benefits of implementing a Cloud ERP solution from scratch or a migration from an existing in-house solution to a cloud version, and challenges of moving ERP services to the cloud

Biosynthesis of Menaquinone (Vitamin K2) and Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q).

Escherichia coli and Salmonella contain the naphthoquinones menaquinone (MK; vitamin K2) and demethylmenaquinone and the benzoquinone ubiquinone (coenzyme Q; Q). Both quinones are derived from the shikimate pathway, which has been called a "metabolic tree with many branches." There are two different pathways for the biosynthesis of the naphthoquinones. The vast majority of prokaryotes, including E. coli and Salmonella, and the plants use the o-succinylbenzoate pathway, while a minority uses the futalosine pathway. The quinone nucleus of Q is derived directly from chorismate, while that of MK is derived from chorismate via isochorismate. The prenyl side chains of both quinones are from isopentenyl diphosphate formed by the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (non-mevalonate) pathway and the methyl groups are from S-adenosylmethionine. In addition, MK biosynthesis requires 2-ketoglutarate and cofactors ATP, coenzyme A, and thiamine pyrophosphate. Despite the fact that both quinones originate from the shikimate pathway, there are important differences in their biosyntheses. The prenyl side chain in MK biosynthesis is introduced at the penultimate step, accompanied by decarboxylation, whereas in Q biosynthesis it is introduced at the second step, with retention of the carboxyl group. In MK biosynthesis, all the reactions of the pathway up to prenylation are carried out by soluble enzymes, whereas all the enzymes involved in Q biosynthesis except the first are membrane bound. In MK biosynthesis, the last step is a C-methylation; in Q biosynthesis, the last step is an O-methylation. In Q biosynthesis a second C-methylation and O-methylation take place in the middle part of the pathway. Despite the fact that Q and MK biosyntheses diverge at chorismate, the C-methylations in both pathways are carried out by the same methyltransferase

Identification of 22 novel mutations in patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive inherited platelet function defect that characterized by reduction in, or absence of, platelet aggregation in response to multiple physiologic agonists. GT is characterized by normal platelet count, prolonged bleeding time, and abnormal clot retraction. The defect is caused by mutations in the genes encoding GPIIb or GPIIIa that result in qualitative or quantitative abnormalities of the platelet membrane GPIIb/IIIa. GT occurs in high frequency in certain ethnic populations with an increased incidence of consanguinity, such as Indians, Iranians, Iraqi Jews, Palastinian and Jordanian Arabs and French gypsies. Forty-five unrelated patients of GT were enrolled in the study to identify the causative molecular defects and also to correlate the genotype with the phenotype. Molecular modeling was performed for the novel missense mutations. The current study identifies 22 novel mutations in these patients. Missense mutations were identified as the defects responsible for most of the GT patients (59%). Even though missense was common, the study concludes that the genetic defect is heterogeneous in nature and difficult to design a DNA marker for carrier detection in GT
