The Wonderful World of Hammar’s Experiment

A. Sfarti · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

In a rather terse note, published in 1935, G.W. Hammar explained his brilliant experiment destined to put away, once and for all, the notion of “aether entrainment”.  Certain physicists, such as Dayton Miller, insisted that the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment and i...

MHD Stagnation Point Flow and Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid over a Non-isothermal Stretching Sheet in Porous Medium

G. Vasumathi, J. Anand Rao & B. Shankar · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

The present study deals with the MHD stagnation point flow of Nanofluid past a non-isothermal stretching sheet in porous medium. The presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects yields a coupled nonlinear Boundary Value Problem. The sheet is assumed to be permeable. Sim...

Free Energy Determination of a Binary Alloy Around the Equilibrium Based on the Order Parameter

EL Azzouzi Fatima & EL Khomssi Mohammed · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

In this paper, we have determined the free energy of a binary alloy for any order and it is showed that the number of equilibrium states of the system is obtained by the Taylor expansion to the 4-th order choice. We explicitly determine the stable states of alloy which are charac...

Criticality Study for Large Masses of Low Enriched Uranium Samples in an Active Well Neutron Coincidence Counter

W. El-Gammal · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

A criticality study has been conducted while verifying large masses of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) samples in an Active Well Neutron Coincidence Counter (AWCC). Fissile material mass limits were determined for some setup conditions to assure safe operation of the counter. The work...

Ion Cyclotron (IC) Oscillations Excited by Nonlinear Waves Propagating in Collision-free Auroral Ionosphere

J. Z. G. Ma & J.- P. St.-Maurice · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

We study ion cyclotron (IC) oscillations activated by a stochastic, strong space-charge electric wavefield E of nonlinear waves propagating auroral ionosphere. E is in a plane perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field B. The word “strong” means that (1) the conventional linear...

Surface Wave Echo in a Plasma Slab

Hee J. Lee & Y. K. Lim · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

Plasma echo theory is revisited, and we apply it to a plasma slab bounded by a vacuum. Spatial echoes in a slab plasma are investigated by calculating the electric field produced by external charges and satisfying the boundary conditions at the interfaces. We determine the echo s...
