Thermodynamic effects on cryogenic cavitating flow in an orifice
Temperature depression in a cavitating orifice flow was experimentally investigated with liquid nitrogen in order to clarify the influence of turbulent flow around a bubble on thermodynamic effects on cavitation. The temperature began to decrease at the outlet of the orifice when the cavitation number decreased below 0. Moreover, the temperature depression became larger as the cavitation number became smaller. In addition, the temperature depression also became greater as the flow velocity became lower when the cavitation numbers were equal. Based on theoretical considerations and experimental results, the difference of temperature depression can be considered to be caused by the enhancement of thermal transport around bubbles due to the turbulent flow. In addition, if thermal transport is enhanced as mentioned above, the temperature in the area where the cavitation collapses can become higher than that upstream of the orifice due to the temporary breakdown of the heat balance between the inception and collapse of cavity bubbles.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/84237/1/CAV2009-final36.pd
Photoproduction of Lambda(1405) and Sigma^{0}(1385) on the proton at E_\gamma = 1.5-2.4 GeV
Differential cross sections for and reactions have been measured in the photon energy range
from 1.5 to 2.4 GeV and the angular range of for the
scattering angle in the center-of-mass system. This data is the first
measurement of the photoproduction cross section. The
lineshapes of \LamS measured in and decay modes
were different with each other, indicating a strong interference of the isospin
0 and 1 terms of the scattering amplitudes. The ratios of \LamS
production to \SigS production were measured in two photon energy ranges: near
the production threshold ( GeV) and far from it ( GeV). The observed ratio decreased in the higher photon energy
region, which may suggest different production mechanisms and internal
structures for these hyperon resonances
