On the interior of the neutron star (II)     

Ramen Kumar Parui 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,225(1):1-16

With the assumption, the physical 3-spacet = constant in a superdense star is spheroidal and the matter-density on the boundary surface of the configurationa = 2 × 10¹⁴ g cm^–3( the average matter density in a neutron star) Vaidya and Tikekar (1982) proposed an exact relativistic model for a neutron star. They suggested that their model can describe the hydrostatic equilibrium conditions in such a superdense star with densities in the range of 10¹⁴-10¹⁶ g cm^–3. Based on this model Parui and Sarma (1991) estimated the maximum limit of the density variation parameter for a stable neutron star (both for charged and uncharged) which is equal to 0.68, i.e. _max = 0.68.In this paper we have shown variation of central density per unit equilibrium radius (0/a), variation of mass, upper limit of density variation parameter both for charged and uncharged neutron stars at densities 10¹⁵ and 10¹⁶ g cm^–3, respectively. We have obtained _max = 0.68, i.e. the same as before. The important is that the duration of stability among the neutron star's constituents around _max will be shorter and shorter at higher densities as we proceed near the centre of the neutron star. In case of a charged neutron star, once stability among the constituents has been established, then unstability appears gradually maintaining linear relation between change in central density per unit equilibrium radius and change in mass whereas in case of uncharged neutron star, linear relation does not maintain.  相似文献   

Bianchi II,VIII, and IX viscous fluid cosmology     

A. Banerjee  Abhik Kumar Sanyal  Subenoy Chakraborty 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,166(2):259-268

In this paper we study the exact solutions for a viscous fluid distribution in Bianchi II, VIII, and IX models. The metric is simplified by assuming a relationship between the coefficients of the metric tensor. Solutions are obtained in two special cases: in one an additional assumption is made where the matter density and the expansion scalar have a definite relation and in the other a barotropic equation of state of the formp= is assumed. While the Bianchi II solutions are already found in the literature the other two classes of solutions are apparently new.  相似文献   

Structure of the marine boundary layer over north western Indian Ocean during 1983 summer monsoon     

M. R. Ramesh Kumar  Y. Sadhuram  G. S. Michael  L. V. Gangadhara Rao 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1990,52(1-2):177-191

The spatial variability of the structure of the lower troposphere over the northwestern Indian Ocean for the period 12th July to 2nd September, 1983 has been studied using upper air data collected during the first scientific cruise of ORV Sagar Kanya.An analysis of thermodynamic structure and kinematics of the marine boundary layer for different zonal and meridional sections revealed the following features: (a) Temperature and humidity inversions were generally absent over the study area except over a few locations in the western region; (b) Large-scale subsidence was found over the central equatorial Indian Ocean; (c) The convective activity over the western Indian Ocean was found to be moderately suppressed as compared to the eastern region; (d) The zonal and meridional components of winds along the equator and 10° N zonal section exhibited a mirror-image-like distribution.  相似文献   

Diffusion-deposition patterns in Martian streaks     

F.A. Gifford  R.P. Hosker  K.S. Rao 《Icarus》1978,36(1):133-146

The spreading angle of a number of light and dark Martian streaks is determined from selected Mariner 9 images. The resulting frequency distributions of spreading half-angles have maxima at ～5° for light, and ～7° for dark streaks; however the dark streaks have a secondary maximum spreading angle at ～14°. The smaller values, which include most streaks, are interpreted as crater-wake spreading phenomena. The larger value, found in only a few dark streaks or “tails,” may result from atmospheric diffusion and subsequent deposition of material from isolated sources such as vents or blowouts. An atmospheric diffusion-deposition analysis is presented, assuming this streak origin, from which it is possible to deduce the eddy diffusivity, K, in Mars' boudary layer. Calculated K values are found to agree with various theoretical estimates. They lie in the range 10⁷ and 10⁹ cm² sec^?1 and exhibit the proper scale dependence. Thus it appears that, in addition to streak-derived wind direction patterns and speed information, it is possible in a few cases to derive information on Mars' boundary-layer turbulence from streak-spreading measurements.  相似文献   

Guided wave propagation in a moving magnetized plasma bounded by parallel perfectly conducting planes     

Pradeep K. Mukherjee 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1976,41(1):97-104

The structure of the Saturnian rings is compared with the asteroidal belt and the relative importance of the resonance effects and the cosmogonic effects is evaluated. No visible correspondence to the Kirkwood gaps is expected theoretically, nor is there any observational evidence for such effects. The only possible resonance is the 1:1 resonance with Saturn's spin period.Cosmogonic shadow effects are responsible for the main features of the ring structure, including Cassini's division, the limit between the B and C ring, and possibly also Guérin's division.  相似文献

Rectangular tank surface aerators: scale up criteria and energy conservation     

A. R. Rao  B. Kumar 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2006,3(4):425-433

Surface aeration experiments were conducted in two types of rectangular tanks of aspect ratios i.e., length to width ratio (L/W) of 1.5 and 2 and developed simulation equations to correlate the oxygen transfer coefficient, k and power number, P₀ with a parameter governing theoretical power per unit volume X. The parameter X is defined as equal to F^4/3R^1/3, where F and R are impellers’ Froude and Reynolds numbers respectively). Results have shown that the P₀ can not be simulated singularly with either Reynolds number, R or Froude number, F, which results in scale-effects; there appears to be a need to incorporate the effects of both F and R. It was found that P⁰ is uniquely related to X for rectangular aeration tanks of both aspect ratios, however, such relationships are different depending upon the aspect ratios. It has been demonstrated that energy can be saved substantially if the aeration tanks are run at relatively higher input powers. It is also demonstrated that smaller sized tanks are more energy conservative and economical when compared to big sized tanks, while aerating the same volume of water, and at the same time by maintaining a constant input power in all the tanks irrespective of their size.  相似文献   

The Cauvery Shear Zone, Southern Granulite Terrain, India: A crustal-scale flower structure   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

T.R.K. Chetty  Y.J. Bhaskar Rao 《Gondwana Research》2006,10(1-2):77

The Cauvery Shear Zone (CSZ) is a crustal-scale shear system within the Southern Granulite Terrain along the southern margin of the Archaean Dharwar craton. Structural interpretation of satellite data and field observations reveal four major shear zones within the CSZ system. They show dextral shear kinematics synchronous with a major Neoproterozoic tectono-metamorphic event (D2) associated with intracrustal melting and migmatisation. The disposition, geometry and contemporaneity of shear fabrics of the CSZ system are modelled in terms of a crustal-scale flower structure akin to transpressional and collisional orogens. In the light of recent seismic evidence for a displaced Moho structure and a mid- to lower-crustal low velocity zone, the flower structure across the CSZ may extend to mantle depths.  相似文献   

Charnockite genesis across the Archaean–Proterozoic terrane boundary in the South Indian Granulite Terrain: Constraints from major–trace element geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotopic systematics     

J.K. Tomson  Y.J. Bhaskar Rao  T. Vijaya Kumar  J. Mallikharjuna Rao 《Gondwana Research》2006,10(1-2):115

Major, trace element compositions and Sr–Nd isotopic characteristics of charnockitic gneisses from the Southern Granulite Terrain (SGT), South India are presented. The study region encompasses the central segment of the Cauvery Shear Zone system (CSZ) and regions within the Madurai Block (MB) immediately south of it (designated here as the CSZ/MB and MB domains). Differences in the compositions and source characteristics between charnockitic rocks of the CSZ vis-à-vis those of the CSZ/MB and MB regions are highlighted. Foremost, the charnockites and enderbites of the CSZ show highly fractionated REE patterns with positive Eu-anomalies, depleted HREE, Y and near chondritic εNd₀ and initial-⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr at ca. 2.5 Ga, consistent with hydrous partial melting of amphibolitic crust with residual garnet and hornblende for the parental melts. By contrast, modeled at ca. 1.8 Ga and 0.8 Ga, the CSZ/MB and MB charnockitic rocks, which show a wider range of Ti and P, relatively lower degree of HREE depletion, commonly negative Eu-anomalies and undepleted Y, present clear evidence for involvement of Archaean crustal components in sources of their magmatic protoliths. There is also evidence for significant intracrustal melting processes within a thickened crust at elevated temperatures between 800 and 1000 °C. Implications to the controversial Archaean–Neoproterozoic terrane boundary problem of the SGT are discussed.  相似文献   

Studies on flow characteristics of coal–oil–water slurry system     

Subrata Kumar Majumder  Kamal ChandnaDhiren Sankar De  Gautam Kundu 《International Journal of Mineral Processing》2006

Experiments were carried out to investigate the rheological properties of coal–oil–water suspension containing solids of different sizes. Two different coal samples with mean particle sizes of 120 mesh, 175 mesh and 220 mesh were used. The coal concentration was varied from 5% to 25% by weight. Sodium silicate has been used as an additive to study the behavior of the variation of average viscosity of the suspension. A generalized correlation has been developed to predict the average viscosity of suspension in terms of particle diameter of the coal, concentration of coal, viscosity of the suspending medium and the concentration of water. Experimental investigations revealed that coal–oil–water suspensions show an increase in the viscosity with decrease in coal size but with the addition of an additive, the average viscosity tends to decrease initially up to a certain optimum dosages and thereafter it increases with further addition of additives. Two empirical correlations are proposed for average viscosity of the coal–oil–water suspension, μ_sL in terms of physical properties of the solid and viscosity of the suspending medium with and without additives.  相似文献
