Atomic Recombination in Nozzles : Methods of Analysis for Flows with Complicated Chemistry
The object of this review is to study the feasibility of performing accurate calculations on the non-equilibzWm flow of a complicated gas mixture through nozzles, with partioular reference to the propulsive nozzle of the hypersonic ramjet. Equations are given for the steady, quasi-one-dimensional, adiabatic flow of a general reacting gas mixture, consisting of rl species related through N chemical reactions. A number of alternative methods of obtaining numerical solutions to these equations are described and evaluated. The formulation of the system of chemical reactions is also discussed, together with the availability of the large amount of thermodynamic and chemical kinetic data which is required before a numerical solution can be attempted. It is found that by far the most serious difficulti to be overcome, before accurate non-equilibrium nozzle calculations can be performed, is obtaining reliable data on the rates of the many chemical reactions which may be involved.
An Analysis of Ramjet Engines Using Supersonic Combustion
From Introduction: "The concept of supersonic combustion is by no means new, although little work appears to have been published on the subject. For example, an analysis of supersonic combustion to provide lift under a wing is given in reference 1. Reference 2 discusses applications to hypersonic ramjets being studied at the University of Michigan."
Complex telemonitoring of patients and elderly people for telemedical and homecare services
The paper presents a project that has as main goal researches, design and implementation of an electronic-informatics-telecom and scalable system, that allows the automatic and complex telemonitoring, everywhere and every time (at home, in hospitals, at work, of mobile subject etc, using several communication paths), in real time, of persons with chronic illnesses, of elderly people, of those having high medical risk and of those with neurolocomotor disabilities.
