... inserts are fitted for many functional reasons, so appreciation of purpose plays a big part in proper selection (see box, Reasons for Installation Inserts; and Table 1). Some insert designs are simple and easy to implement, while others require professional expertise to select and design. ...Similar publications

Open futurism is the indeterministic position according to which the future is ‘open’, i.e., there is now no fact of the matter as to what future contingent events will actually obtain. Many open futurists hold a branching conception of time, in which a variety of possible futures exist. This paper introduces two challenges to branching-time open f...
Agility in the future of systems engineering (FuSE) is one of the topic areas under the INCOSE FuSE initiative. A roadmap for near‐term improvement, presented at the 2021 INCOSE International Symposium, offered nine strategic concepts appropriate and ready for further movement toward standard practice. Initial work in that direction enticed several...

An experimental two-dimensional (2-D) thin slice panel for studying flow patterns of fine silica sand was designed and manufactured. As supplier of sand was not known at that time, flow properties of the silica sand were assessed without shear tests. A preliminary design of plane-flow hopper of the experimental 2-D panel was assumed to be close to the mass flow conditions. Sand was circulated in the experimental panel to study the steady state flow. Tests of flow patterns suggested typical funnel-flow patterns with stagnant zones in the hopper and in the vertical part of the panel. Stagnant zones near the bottom of the hopper indicated insufficient width of the hopper outlet. Shear tests for estimation of flow properties of silica sand were carried out additionally and two methods of how to transform the funnel flow of sand to the mass flow were followed up; (a) existing 2-D panel was retrofitted with flow-corrective element, and (b) the width of outlet in existing experimental panel was widen into the size, calculated according to mass flow conditions. Both modifications were proven to be successful and the last-in first-out funnel flow was transformed into first-in first-out mass flow of sand. Velocities of individual tracer particles were measured during mass flow and velocity field was evaluated. Velocity profile of particles in the vicinity of flow-corrective insert was studied in detail.
