Laminar

A laminar flow reactor (LFR) is a reactor that uses laminar flow to study chemical reactions and process mechanisms.

Laminar flow barriers Experimental chamber for studying chemotaxis in response to laminar flow.

Laminar flow cannot be used for pumping, because laminar turbines stall when not used at the designed flow.

Types of microlith Laminar and non-geometric microliths Laminar microliths date from at least the Gravettian culture or possibly the start of the Upper Paleolithic era, and they are found all through the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras.

One afternoon as we advisers watched Question Time on the TV set outside my office, we heard the prime minister refer in one of his answers to “the laminar flow”.

A common application of laminar flow is in the smooth flow of a viscous liquid through a tube or pipe.

Air flowing through the trachea can be either laminar or turbulent depending on the state of the bird.

But the laminar flow wing fitted to the Mustang could be a little tricky.

C.,MS Thesis University of California, Los Angeles, 1960 The laminar two-dimensional jet amplifies small disturbances at the orifice to generate a vortex street.

Conversion of laminar flow to turbulent flow is a well known example.

For instance, in the Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa, the end of the Upper Paleolithic period coincides with the end of the Aterian tradition of producing laminar microliths, and deposits can be dated by the presence or absence of these artifacts.

For instance, laminar flow over a sphere is steady in the frame of reference that is stationary with respect to the sphere.

Fuel cells details Microfluidic fuel cells can use laminar flow to separate the fuel and its oxidant to control the interaction of the two fluids without a physical barrier as would be required in conventional fuel cells.

Heliox's low density produces a lower Reynolds number and hence higher probability of laminar flow for any given airway.

In addition to their streamlined bodies, they have smooth networks of muscle bundles in their skin that may increase laminar flow and make it easier for them to slip through water.

In the linear laminar flow region, Poiseuille's law describes the hydraulic resistance of a pipe, but in the turbulent flow region the pressure–flow relations become nonlinear.

In the Near East, the laminar microliths of the Kebarian culture were superseded by the geometric microliths of the Natufian tradition a little more than 11,000 years ago.

In the small airways where flow is laminar, resistance is proportional to gas viscosity and is not related to density and so heliox has little effect.

It should be noted, however, that the presence of eddies or recirculation alone does not necessarily indicate turbulent flow—these phenomena may be present in laminar flow as well.
