A new method in investigations of bubble cluster shapes in two-phase flow
Abstract In this paper a new probabilistic method is used to analyse the distribution of air bubbles in two-phase flow. So far, the method has been applied in astronomy and cosmology to investigate the distribution of galaxies. The basic idea is presented and the method applied to the photographed population of air bubbles in a liquid. The method allows the homogeneity of the flow to be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively.
Influence of Galvanic Microcells on Growth of Pathogenic Bacteria and Candida Yeast
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of electrodes on growth of pathogenic bacteria and Candida albicans yeast. In the study, following references bacteria strains were used: Staphylococcus aureus ATTC 6538; Enterococcus faecalis ATTC 29212 (V); Enterococcus hirae ATTC 105441 (VI) and yeast strain Candida albicans ATTC 10231 (C40). Microelectrodes were prepared by ALCOR Center. Estimation of the biocidal effect of electrodes was carried out by medium poisoning method. The assessment of adhesion to the surface was performed by a modified Hawser’s method. Presence of adhesion was assessed by SEM analysis. The highest inhibition zones were obtained for Staphylococcus aureus ATTC …
Three-circle method in the investigations of shapes of gas bubble clusters in two-phase flow
We present an attempt of formulating a quantitative criterion for division into homogeneous and heterogeneous flow patterns basing on the probabilistic analysis of gas bubble distribution in the liquid
