New Nusselt Number Correlation and Turbulent Prandtl Number Model for Turbulent Convection with Liquid Metal Based on Quasi-DNS Results

Energies
Liquid metal is widely used as the primary coolant in many advanced nuclear energy systems. Prandtl number of liquid metal is much lower than that of the conventional coolant of water or gas. Based on the Reynolds analogy, the turbulent Prandtl number is

Passive euthanasia [PDF]

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2005
The idea of passive euthanasia has recently been attacked in a particularly clear and explicit way by an “Ethics Task Force” established by the European Association of Palliative Care (EAPC) in February 2001. It claims that the expression “passive euthanasia” is a contradiction in terms and hence that there can be no such thing.
