Slip Factors of Centrifugal Slurry Pumps

Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1987
Experiments have been carried out in order to determine the effects on slip factor due to the various parameters affecting the performance characteristics of a centrifugal slurry pump. The experiments were conducted with water, sand slurry, and a glass bead slurry at three different pump speeds.

Bilateral Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2007
The primary goal in treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is to prevent further slip by stabilizing the physis. Debate exists concerning prophylactic fixation of the uninvolved hip at presentation. Our goal was to determine predictive factors for a contralateral slip after presentation with a unilateral SCFE.

Mechanical Factors in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988
We performed three-dimensional force analyses on the hips of 50 normal patients and 50 patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis to determine if mechanical factors alone could account for slips. We found that slipped epiphysis patients have reduced resistance to shear because of increased body weight and a decreased neck shaft-plate shaft angle ...

Factors Leading to Slip-and-Fall Incidents

2016
There are several factors that prompt the slip-and-fall incidents and this study focuses on seven factors. Epidemiology approach was used to determine the factors of slip-and-fall incidents, and questionnaire was selected as an instrument for data collection.

Viscous Effects on Slip Factor of Centrifugal Blowers

Journal of Engineering for Power, 1974
For the design of centrifugal blowers it is essential to estimate the slip factor correctly. There are several empirical equations as well as theoretical ones for estimating slip factors. These equations predict the slip factor correctly for conventional blowers and pumps, and they are widely used for design.

Factors Affecting Greenhouse Sweetpotato Slip Production

International Journal of Vegetable Science, 2016
ABSTRACTSweetpotato certified seed producers rely on fast propagation of virus-indexed slip plants in the greenhouse to obtain transplants for the production of first generation of storage roots. Effective fertilization is important for greenhouse vegetative propagation, but relevant guidelines are rare.

Concept of Slip Factor in Axial Impellers

Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 1973
A slip factor is often used to predict performance of axial impellers when exit flow does not coincide with vane exit angle. Concept of constant slip factor has no foundation.

Experimental investigation of slip factors in centrifugal pumps

Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 2009
Abstract The phenomenon of slip is known to strongly influence the performance of centrifugal pumps. In the present work, the slip phenomenon at the impeller outlet is studied experimentally for five industrial pumps at different flow rates and the slip factor is estimated for each of these cases. Theoretical slip factors are calculated using several

Human factors contributing to slips, trips and falls

Ergonomics, 1983
This paper attempts to review existing knowledge of some human factors contributing to slipping and falling. After considering the biomechanics of normal unladen locomotion, the effects of load carriage on stability are considered by extrapolation from a static model.

A Review of Slip Factors for Centrifugal Impellers

Journal of Engineering for Power, 1967
This paper contains a general review of the various methods which have been proposed for the estimation of basic slip factors for centrifugal impellers. As a result of this study, it is concluded that the classical method proposed by Busemann in 1929 is still the most generally applicable prediction for the basic slip factor of centrifugal impellers ...
