Reliable Critical Flow Venturi (CFV) operation requires sonic velocity at the throat of the device. The maximum ratio of exit pressure to inlet pressure that ensures this sonic velocity is referred to as the maximum back pressure ratio (MBPR). Being able
Abstract: From the design point of view, datum features are used to imply design intent of particular function of the part or sequence of assembly of components in a product. Each feature in a part could potentially have different datum reference based on

At present, broadband radiometric measurements of LEDs with uniform and low-uncertainty results are not available. Currently, either spectral radiometric measurements or broadband photometric LED measurements are used. The broadband photometric
This Standard applies only to the steady flow of single-phase gases through critical flow venturis, CFVs, of shapes specified herein (also sometimes referred to as critical flow nozzles or critical flow venturi nozzles). This document applies to critical
The last of the radium-226 standards that Marie Curie personally handled is destined for a radioactive materials waste dump. Presented here is a history of the standards and a challenge to the scientific community to present a rationale for why this
