PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY MEASUREMENT OF COMPLEX FLOW STRUCTURES IN THE DIFFUSER AND SPHERICAL CASING OF A REACTOR COOLANT PUMP

Particle image velocimetry measurement of complex flow structures in the diffuser and spherical casing of a reactor coolant pump

Understanding of turbulent flow in the reactor coolant pump (RCP) is a premise of the optimal design of the RCP.Flow structures in the RCP, in view of the specially devised spherical casing, are more complicated than those associated with conventional pumps.Hitherto, knowledge of the flow characteristics of the RCP has been far from sufficient.Rese

The irrational hungry judge effect revisited: Simulations reveal that the magnitude of the effect is overestimated

Danziger, Levav and Avnaim-Pesso (2011) analyzed gassflaske legal rulings of Israeli parole boards concerning the effect of serial order in which cases are presented within ruling sessions.They found that the probability of a favorable decision drops from about 65% to almost 0% from the first ruling to the last ruling within each session and that t
