等截面垂直管道中气粉流的临界管长

考虑重力和摩擦力的影响，建立了描述垂直管道中气粉流行为的数学模型，采用马赫数检验法，确定了产生摩擦壅塞时的临界管长，计算表明，当气粉流以不同方式喷入相同的冶金熔池时，底吹垂直管道比顶吹垂直管道需要更大的临界管长。

Descartes’s changing mind

Descartes is always concerned about knowledge. However, the Galileo affair in 1633, the reactions to his Discourse on method, and later his need to reply to objections to his Meditations provoked crises in Descartes’s intellectual development the import of which has not been sufficiently recognized. These events are the major reasons why Descartes’s philosophical position concerning how we know and what we may know is radically different at the end of his life from what it was when he began. We call this later position Descartes’s epistemic stance and contrast it with his earlier methodological, metaphysical realism. Yet Descartes’s epistemic views cannot be separated from other aspects of his work, for example, his views concerning God, causality, metaphysics, and the nature of science. A further meta-implication is that serious errors await any scholar who cites early Cartesian texts in support of late Cartesian positions, or who uses later texts in conjunction with early ones to support a reading of Descartes’s philosophy.
