The predictions of this model are compared with those of the Semenov model to determine the impact of the species diffusion term. It is shown that for large values of the Rayleigh number (R* ≫ 1), the ignition locus may be expressed in a parametric form B Ls = t/ln t + t/(t - 1) (1 < t ≼ 3.4955), ψ/R* = (B Ls)2 ((t - 1)/t) exp{ - B Ls + B Ls/t} ln t, where B is the heat of reaction parameter, ψ is the Semenov number and Ls is a (modified) Lewis number. Criticality is found to disappear at B Ls = 4.194. When these results are compared with those of the Semenov model, it is found that neglecting the species diffusion term gives conservative approximations to the ignition locus, and criticality boundary. It is found that the lumped thermal model-I has five different types of bifurcation diagrams of temperature against Rayleigh number (single-valued, isola, inverse S, mushroom, inverse S + isola). These diagrams are qualitatively identical to the bifurcation diagrams of temperature against flow rate for the forced convection problem under the assumption of infinite thermal conductivity and zero species diffusivity.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

A theoretical model is derived for the process and analysed for two specific applications, fine-hole drilling and the finishing of components by smoothing of their initially rough surfaces. In the second of these examples, a perturbation procedure for obtaining approximate solutions is used; the model so developed encorporates the effects of current density on current efficiency which are known from experimental electrochemical machining (ECM) studies to influence the rate and mode of smoothing. For fine-hole drilling by ECAM, the analysis predicts that the interelectrode gap width increases with the applied voltage and inversely with the square root of the mechanically driven anode. In the case of smoothing, ECAM is found to remove the surface irregularities at a much faster rate and with lower loss of stock metal than ECM alone, when electrolytes such as sodium chloride solution yielding 100% current efficiency are used for the latter process. The analysis shows that an electrolyte solution with a current density-dependent current efficiency is needed if parent metal loss by ECM is to approach that of ECAM, and even then, machining by the latter is still much faster. Attention is drawn to experimental evidence in support of these predictions of ECAM behaviour. Finally, results from the model are used to verify the practical use of ECM for rapid finishing of the surfaces of components left rough by electrodischarge machining.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

These diffraction problems include: diffraction of electromagnetic waves by a finite strip, a finite slit, the diffraction of scalar or vector elastic waves by a rigid strip or crack, etc. A general method for solving such dual integral equations is given by the artifice of constructing a set of functions of compact support biorthogonal to another given set of functions. The sufficient conditions for a given dual integral equations to be solvable in this manner are also determined. Hence, the method forms a complement to the Weiner-Hopf method. To illustrate the method solutions are obtained for a bench-mark problem : the diffraction of light by a finite perfectly conducting strip (or equivalently the diffraction of SH waves by a crack). Comparison with results obtained by others for low, intermediate and high frequencies show the utility and accuracy of the method for the entire range of frequencies. Both the near field and the far field are obtained, the latter is shown to correspond to the Fraunhoffer diffraction pattern for high frequency. It is also shown that for the equivalent crack problem the stress intensity factor (SIF) fluctuates rapidly with changes in the angle of incidence for high frequencies, thus making the SIF especially sensitive to angle of incidence at high frequencies.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

A biphasic régime, consisting of coexisting nematic and isotropic phases, is also created at the transition. A molecular field theory of such mixtures, developed by Humphries and Luckhurst, predicts, in addition, the appearance of a re-entrant biphasic region following the nematic phase for a narrow range of compositions. This unusual re-entrant phase separation has not been observed for real nematogenic mixtures, presumably because the system freezes before the re-entrant phases can be formed. Here we report the observation of this biphasic régime for a model nematogenic mixture, formed from cylindrical and spherical particles, which was studied using the Monte Carlo technique of computer simulation. The particles are confined to the sites of a simple cubic lattice but still retain their rotational freedom; in consequence the mixture is unable to freeze in the conventional sense. The temperature variation of the heat capacity and the solute–solute radial distribution function reveal the predicted transition to the re-entrant biphasic régime. The internal energy and the second-rank orientational order parameter were also determined as a function of temperature. The predictions of the Humphries–Luckhurst theory are found to be in good qualitative accord with the results of the simulation.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.
