Supersonic coaxial, axisymmetric, jets issuing from various kinds of dual coaxial nozzles were experimentally investigated. Four different kinds of coaxial, dual nozzles were employed to characterize the major features of the supersonic, coaxial, dual jets. Two convergent-divergent supersonic nozzles with an impinging angle in the jet axis of the annular jets were designed to have the Mach number 2.0 and used to compare the coaxial jet flows with those discharging from two sonic nozzles. The primary pressure ratio was changed in the range from 4.0 to 10.0 and the assistant jet ratio from 1.0 to 4.0. The results obtained show that the assistant jets from the annular nozzle affect the coaxial jet flows and an increase of both the primary jet pressure ratio and assistant jet pressure ratio produces longer supersonic length of the dual, coaxial jet.

The monotonic characteristics of AUSM-type shemes are proven by mathmatics and numerics. Qualitatively well-known characteristics are quantified by mathematics and the magnitude of oscillatory behaviors of each schemes could be compared directly. Moreover, it is also studied how the sonic transition position affects the oscillation in capturing the shocks. Lastly M-AUSMPW+, the latest improved AUSM-type scheme, is shown to have monotonic characeristics though all shock conditions.

Index tests are useful because they are rapid and cheap-and if bias is known the fundamental property can be estimated, as when estimating the compressive strength or the tensile sterngth from the rock test hammer value. Index tests which have proved to be very useful are the rock test hammer, the point load test and sonic velocity test. These can provide index values in their owing right or be used to estimate the compressive strength, the tensile strength and elastic modulus. Because of the heterogeneous and fractured nature of rock, many index tests have been developed for a variety of purposes, e.g.for use in rock mass classification schemes.

A thermostable adenylate kinase isolated from the sonic extracts of Thermus caldophilus cells revealed higher substrate-specificity to the nucleoside monophosphate than to the nucleoside triphosphate. A $P', P^5$-di(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate was acted as a competitive inhibitor to the various substrates. Various divalent cations were activated the enzyme activity following orders: $Mg^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Ba^[2+}, $ and $Fe^{2+}$-. The enzyme activity was not affected by the sulfurhydryl reagent, p-chloromeric uribenzoic acid and activated by addition of the sodium chloride or phosphoenol pyruvate to the reaction mixture.

Since early model of powered toothbrush (Broxadent) was introduced in the 1960s, the design of powered toothbrush has changed significantly. Today powered toothbrushes can be categorized as mechanical and sonic. The main patterns of movements in the modern powered toothbrushes are oscillation, reciprocation, and rotational. Powered brushes especially helpful for people who have disabilities or dexterity issue. These brushes are also highly recommended for patients who require a larger handle because these are easier to grasp. By systematic review of Cochrane group in 2014, powered toothbrushes reduced dental plaque and gingivitis more than manual toothbrushing in the short and long term. Now we can recommend powered toothbrushes to people who need to enhance self-control dental plaque removal efficacy.

A steady dilute premixed combustion at transonic speeds in a diverging channel is investigated. The model explores the nonlinear interactions between the near-sonic speed of the flow, the small changes in geometry from a straight channel, and the small heat release due to the one-step first-order Arrhenius chemical reaction. The reactive flow can be described by a nonhomogeneous transonic small-disturbance (TSD) equation coupled with an ordinary differencial equation for the calculation of the reactant mass fraction in the combustible gas. The asymptotic analysis results in the similarity parameters that govern the reacting flow problem. The model is used to study transonic combustion at various amounts of incoming, reactant mass, reaction rates, and channel geometries.

In this study, numerical investigation has been performed on the evolution of key-hole geometry during high-energy density laser welding process. Unsteady phase-change heat transfer and fluid flow with the surface tension and recoil pressure are simulated. To model the overheated surface temperature and recoil pressure considering subsonic/sonic vapor flow, the one-dimensional vaporization models proposed by Ganesh and Knight are coupled over liquid-vapor interface. It is shown that the present model predicts well both the vaporization physics and the fluid flow in the thin liquid layer over the other model.

Granite core samples and bulk samples were first subjected to petrographic examination to determine weathering degrees. Secondly, their physical or mechanical properties including specific gravity, porosity, sonic wave velocity and uniaxial compressive strength were measured. The results were correlated to investigate the influences between properties including physical and mechanical properties, weathering degrees, and rock textures. Porosity and P wave velocity were found the most useful indices in determining the weathering degrees of granites.

Extensive sets of data on the mechanical properties of more than 1000 granite specimens were analyzed to derive the relationships of the various properties: those are, (1) density, (2) porosity, (3) absorption ratio, (4) sonic wave velocity, (5) uniaxial compressive strength, (6) tensile strength, and (7) dynamic & static Young's moduli. The results will be of use to understand the mechanical characteristics of granites and some unknown properties can be estimated from the others. The various equations derived from the least square regression analysis and a brief description of the correlations are presented in this paper.
