Preliminary Results of British Nene II Engine Altitude-Chamber Performance Investigation. I - Altitude Performance Using Standard 18.75-Inch-Diameter Jet Nozzle: Altitude Performance Using Standard 18.75-Inch-Diameter Jet Nozzle - 1

An investigation is being conducted to determine the altitude performance characteristics of the British Nene II engine and its components. The present paper presents the preliminary results obtained using a standard jet nozzle. The test results presented are for conditions simulating altitudes from sea level to 60,000 feet and ram pressure ratios from 1.0 to 2.3. These ram pressure ratios correspond to flight Mach numbers between zero and 1.16 assuming a 100 percent ram recovery.

Internal Flow and Burning Characteristics of 16-inch Ram Jet Operating in a Free Jet at Mach Numbers of 1.35 and 1.73

The effects of mass-flow ratio on the additive drag and normal-shock position of a single oblique-shock diffuser are presented. Also evaluated is the variation with operating condition of the velocity distribution at the combustion-chamber inlet. A comparison with connected-pipe data is included. Burner performance with a corrugated gutter-grid flame holder is discussed. It is shown that the total-pressure drop across the combustion chamber can be predicted with reasonable accuracy from the computed flame holder and combustion momentum pressure losses.

Plasma jet printing for flexible substrates

Recent interest in flexible electronics and wearable devices has created a demand for fast and highly repeatable printing processes suitable for device manufacturing. Robust printing technology is critical for the integration of sensors and other devices on flexible substrates such as paper and textile. An atmospheric pressure plasma-based printing process has been developed to deposit different types of nanomaterials on flexible substrates. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were deposited on paper to demonstrate site-selective deposition as well as direct printing without any type of patterning. Plasma-printed nanotubes were compared with non-plasma-printed samples under similar gas flow and other experimental conditions and found to be denser with higher conductivity. The utility of the nanotubes on the paper substrate as a biosensor and chemical sensor was demonstrated by the detection of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, and ammonia, respectively.

Erratum to: Search for supersymmetry in final states with two same-sign or three leptons and jets using 36 fb -1 of $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV pp collision data with the ATLAS detector

One correction is made to the figure 4e of the paper. The reported cross-sections, both the experimental upper limits and the theoretical prediction, corresponded only to a fiducial region of the phase space with at least two prompt same-sign electrons or muons before detector simulation (p T > 10 GeV, |η| < 2.8). The updated figure 4e instead presents the results without this requirement, i.e. in the full phase space as it should, given the y-axis label of the plot. The reported sensitivity of the analysis, i.e. the ability to exclude top squark masses below 700 GeV in this scenario, is however unchanged since the same requirements were applied to the analysis and to the theory predictions.

Erratum to: Measurement of the inclusive jet cross-section in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV using 4.5 fb -1 of data with the ATLAS detector

It was found that the non-perturbative corrections calculated using Pythia with the Perugia 2011 tune did not include the effect of the underlying event. The affected correction factors were recomputed using the Pythia 6.427 generator. These corrections are applied as baseline to the NLO pQCD calculations and thus the central values of the theoretical predictions have changed by a few percent with the new corrections. This has a minor impact on the agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions. Figures 2 and 6 to 13, and all the tables have been updated with the new values. A few sentences in the discussion in sections 5.2 and 9 were altered or removed.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]
