Modeling and Simulation of Local Thermal Non-equilibrium Effects in Porous Media with Small Thermal Conductivity

The two-equation model in porous media can describe the local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) effects between fluid and solid at REV scale, with the temperature differences in a solid particle neglected. A multi-scale model has been proposed in this study. In the model, the temperature differences in a solid particle are considered by the coupling of the fluid energy equation at REV scale with the heat conduction equation of a solid particle at pore scale. The experiments were conducted to verify the model and numerical strategy. The multi-scale model is more suitable than the two-equation model to predict the LTNE effects in porous media with small thermal conductivity. The effects of particle diameter, mass flow rate, and solid material on the LTNE effects have been investigated numerically when cryogenic nitrogen flows through the porous bed with small thermal conductivity. The results indicate that the temperature difference between solid center and fluid has the same trend at different particle diameters and mass flow rates, while the time to reach the local thermal equilibrium is affected by solid diameter dramatically. The results also show that the temperature difference between solid center and surface is much greater than that between solid surface and fluid. The values of \( \rho {\text{c}} \) for different materials have important influence on the time to reach the local thermal equilibrium between solid and fluid.

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange by nano-TiO_2 thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering

Nano-TiO2 thin films are deposited by radio frequency （RF） magnetron sputtering using TiO2 ceramic target and characterized by X-ray diffractometer, atomic force microscope, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic activity is evaluated by light-induced degradation of methyl orange solutions （5, 10, and 20 ppm） using a high pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The film is amorphous, and its energy gap is 3.02 eV. The photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange solution is the first-order reaction and the apparent reaction rate constants are 0.00369, 0.0024, and 0.00151 for the methyl orange solution concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 ppm, respectively.     

Effect of Sulfonation Degree on Performance of Proton Exchange Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

A series of proton exchange membranes based on sulfonated polyarylene ether ketones(SPAEKs) was used to study the effect of sulfonation degree on proton conductivity, methanol permeation and performance of direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs). Dependences of physical characteristics of the membranes, i. e., proton conductivity, water uptake, swelling ratio, methanol permeability and ion exchange capacity(IEC) were systematically studied. Both methanol permeability and proton conductivity of the SPAEK membrane grow rapidly as the increase in sulfonation degree since methanol molecules and protons share the same transfer channel. However,the methanol permeability plays more important role comparing to proton conductivity. As a result, the SPAEK membrane with a medium sulfonation degree(60%) was found to yield the best performance in a DMFC due to the acquirement of balanced conductivity and methanol permeability.

Controllable rogue waves in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with varying potentials and nonlinearities

Exact rogue wave solutions, including the first-order rogue wave solutions and the second-order ones, are constructed for the system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with varying potentials and nonlinearities. The method employed in this paper is the similarity transformation, which allows us to map the inhomogeneous coupled NLS equations with variable coefficients into the integrable Manakov system, whose explicit solutions have been well studied before. The result shows that the rogue wavelike solutions obtained by this transformation are controllable. Concretely, we illustrate how to control the trajectories of wave centers and the evolutions of wave peaks, and analyze the dynamic behaviors of the rogue wavelike solutions.

A novel approach for preparation of “cage-like” multihollow polymer microspheres through sulfonated polystyrene particles

A new and effective process has been developed for fabrication of novel cage-like multihollow polymer particles by using sulfonated polystyrene (SP) particles as the templates, with heptane as the phase separation agent, in an ethanol/water medium. The ratio of water/ethanol and the heating temperature play important roles in the formation of these multihollow particles. It was found that the cage-like polymer particles could be obtained when the ratio of ethanol/water is 5:5 (w/w), with a temperature above 50?°C. After a detailed study, the formation mechanism was proposed based on an SP swollen (ethanol and heptane penetrating process) and phase separation process. This new method for fabricating the cage-like multihollow polymer particles has a great meaning not only on confirming the formation mechanism, but also on providing an effective way to prepare the special hollow core/porous shell polymer particles, which could have wide range of potential applications, such as catalysts, sensors, and drug release.
