    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the uptake and loss of 4C in the light and in the dark in the Tasman and Coral Seas have revealed methodological problems with the estimation of productivity in these waters. Rates of productivity estimated without replication, time series incubations and dark controls frequently overestimated the true rates of autotrophic production. The data showed unexpectedly high rates of both uptake and loss in the dark in oligotrophic waters. In oligotrophic oceanic waters, dark incorporation of 14C sometimes equalled the uptake of 14C in the light bottle. Rapid uptake of isotope in the dark controls appeared to be the result of rapid bacterial growth and metabolism. This problem was exacerbated by agitation of the sample before or during the incubation. Tropical samples were particularly susceptible to problems arising from the agitation of the samples. Latitudinal gradients of dark uptake and loss were revealed in these incubations. The loss of label during 8–12 hours in the dark (after 12 hr in the light) was as high as 50% in subtropical waters. The loss was frequently unmeasurable (〈 10%) in temperate waters. The time course of 14C uptake indicated active grazing in the bottles and suggested that most of the nighttime losses of label were due to grazing by microheterotrophs. Respiratory losses appeared to be small. Calculated values of the assimilation number (or photosynthetic capacity) which did not correct for dark 14C uptake were too high to be biochemically realistic. The errors were due to the heterotrophic uptake of label and the lack of dark controls. Rapid release of 14C in the dark after incubation in the light meant that the estimate of ‘productivity’ was dependant on the trophic state of the sample and on the period of incubation.

    Notes: Turbulent flow friction factors were determined for flocculated suspensions of thoria, kaolin, and titania in tubes 1/8- to 1-in. diameter. The non-Newtonian laminar flow data were arbitrarily fitted with the Bingham plastic model. With this model the range of yield stress values was 0.018 to 1.39 lb.f/sq. ft., with a maximum ratio of coefficient of rigidity to viscosity of suspending medium of 11.1. The volume fraction solids were varied from 0.042 to 0.23.Two types of behavior were observed depending on the value of the yield stress. For yield values less than 0.5 lb.f/sq. ft. the turbulent friction factors were always less than those for Newtonian fluids but tended to approach the Newtonian values as the Reynolds number was increased. For yield values greater than 0.5 lb.f/sq. ft. the friction factors were again less than those for New-tonian fluids but tended to diverge from the Newtonian values as the Reynolds number was increased. Both sets of data were correlated with the Blasius relation with the coefficient and exponent given in terms of the laminar flow properties und the volume fraction solids.

    Notes: The minimum transport velocity (defined as the mean-stream velocity required to prevent the accumulation of a layer of stationary or sliding particles on the bottom of a horizontal conduit) vas determined in a 1-in. pipe for an aqueous suspension of glass beads using glass beads having mean diameters of 78 and 310 μ.The results of the present study were combined with prior pneumatic- and hydraulic-transport data for air and water suspensions to give a unique minimum-transport relation, valid for particles larger than the thickness of the laminar sublayer, that is for particles which are immersed in the buffer layer or which extend into the turbulent core when resting on the pipe wall. The correlation showed that the ratio of particle settling velocity to friction velocity at the minimum transport condition was a function of particle Reynolds number, pipe Reynolds number, and the relative density ratio of particle to fluid. The results of the correlation suggest that a single mechanism is responsible for the initiation of particle transport throughout the range of conditions covered. This mechanism may be identified with Bernoulli forces due to instantaneous velocity differences accompanying turbulent fluctuations and largely confined to the buffer layer.

    Notes: In the absence of turbulent fluctuations the main effect of a velocity gradient on the floc properties is a rearrangement of particles within the floc producing a more dense floc structure. When the suspension is sufficiently dilute that floc-floc collisions are negligible, the limits on the floc diameter are (1 + α)5/3 〈 (Df/Dp) ≤ (1 + α)2, where α is the ratio of the volume of fluid immobilized in the floc structure to volume of solids in the floc structure as determined from hindred-settling measurements. These results set an upper limit on the floc size.Under turbulent flow conditions the principle mechanism leading to floc rupture is pressure differences on opposite sides of the floc which cause bulgy deformation and rupture. The breakup of the floc is resisted by the yield stress τy and is promoted by an increase in the energy dissipation per unit mass of fluid ∊. Because the energy dissipation per unit mass is at a maximum near the pipe wall, the floc size is at a minimum in this same region.By application of the concepts of local isotropy, the floc size is found to be proportional to (τy9/∊5)1/2once the turbulent intensity is sufficient to overcome the yield stress. In the wall region the floc diameter is proportional to (du/dr)3 (τy9/∊8)1/2.

    Notes: Four different flow regimes may be identified during transport of dilute suspensions of solid particles through horizontal pipes by liquids in turbulent flow as the velocity is varied. The regimes may be characterized by the distribution of solids in the channel. In two of the regimes the bulk of the material is immediately adjacent to the bottom of the channel and is clumped up either into transverse waves (dunes or islands) with a reproducible periodicity or into longitudinal waves (long stria). The definition of the other two regimes is somewhat more arbitrary but may qualitatively be described as heterogeneous or homogeneous flow. Extensive studies of the conditions under which transverse and longitudinal waves occurred, when combined with results of previous studies, showed that all four of these flow regimes may be conveniently represented on a single diagram in which the terminal-settling velocity divided by the friction velocity and the Reynolds number on particle diameter and friction velocity are the coordinates. Because the particle Reynolds number based on the terminal-settling velocity can be uniquely defined as an additional parametre on such a diagram the particular flow behavior for any given combination of system and particle characteristics can be readily determined.

    Notes: The effect of free stream turbulence level on forced convection through laminar and turbulent boundary layers on a flat was studied in a wind tunnel with a small but nonzero favorable pressure gradient by means of the naphthalene sublimation technique.With the small favorable pressure gradient used in this study, the rate of forced convection through laminar boundary layers agreed with Polhausen's theoretical equation for turbulence levels less than 2.8% but increased in a regular fashion for turbulence levels greater than 2.8% and was almost tripled at a free stream turbulence level of 11%. There was no evidence of an interaction between pressure gradient and turbulence level which would produce disproportionate effects on the rate of forced convection through laminar boundary layers. Substantially no effect of turbulence level on forced convection through turbulent boundary layers was observed for turbulence levels up to 7%.

    Notes: Enhanced rates of mass transfer in the wake region behind detached cylindrical turbulence promoters were investigated with the use of the naphthalene sublimation technique. The maximum increase in the average rate of mass transfer through laminar boundary layers was over 170%. The remarkable feature of these results was that the enhanced rates of mass trasfer persisted for over one hundred and thirty cylinder diameters downstream from the cylinder generating the wake. The observed effect was not only strongly dependent on the free stream velocity and the location of the cylinders relative to the mass transfer surface, but there were marked differences observed between the rate of mass transfer in the wake region behind one and behind two cylinders. These results resemble a “tuning phenomenon” and are believed to be due to Tollmein-Schlichting instabilities and premature transition.

    Notes: Enhanced rates of mass transfer in aqueous systems were studied with an electrochemical technique. Detached turbulence promoters (cylinders supported away from the surface) were shown to cause increases in mass transfer in aqueous systems in a manner similar to that observed in gaseous system. As in air studies, peaks in the local rate of mass transfer were observed directly beneath the cylinders and a wake effect was observed downstream from the cylinders.

    Notes: The minimum transport velocity (defined as the mean stream velocity required to prevent the accumulation of a layer of stationary or sliding particles on the bottom of a horizontal conduit) has been determined for flocculated thorium oxide and kaolin suspensions flowing in glass pipes. The pipes ranged from 1 to 4 in. in diameter, and the concentration was varied from 0.01 to 0.17 volume fraction solids.Two flow regimes were observed depending on the concentration of the suspension. In the first the suspension was sufficiently concentrated to be in the compaction zone and hence had an extremely low settling rate. The second regime was observed with more dilute suspensions which were in the hindered-settling zone and settled ten to one-hundred times faster than slurries which were in compaction. The concentration for transition from one regime to the other was dependent on both the tube diameter and the degree of flocculation. The suspension particles were smaller than the thickness of the laminar sublayer, and they settled according to Stokes' law for the particular conditions of this study. Under these circumstances the relation developed for dilute suspensions is consistent with particle transfer in the radial direction owing to Bernoulli forces on the particle and the action of turbulent fluctuations which penetrate the laminar sublayer. For concentrated suspension in compaction the minimum transport velocity was given by a characteristic critical Reynolds number.

    Notes: Both the rheological and the hindered-settling characteristics of small particle size suspensions (0.1 to 50 μ) are primarily determined by the degree of flocculation and the concentration of the suspension. Previous studies have shown that when the laminar shear diagrams are fitted by the Bingham plastic model, the parameters τy/φ3 and φ-1 In η/μ are constants which are proportional to the degree of flocculationThe present study showed that these rheological parameters were proportional to the value of α determined from the hindered-settling measurements (α is defined as the ratio of the volume of fluid immobilized by the floc structure to the volume of solids in the floc structure). The materials studied included suspensions of thorium oxide in water and methanol and of titania, kaolin, alumina, and graphite in water. The particle size range was from 0.40 to 17.0 μValues of the attractive force between particles calculated from the rheological and hindered-settling data were in good agreement with each other and with the theoretical values calculated from the Derjaguin-Verwey-Overbeek theory of colloid stability. The good agreement among the different values suggests that the present approach may be generally applicable to a variety of different systems.
