Application of SAXS to the study of particle-size-dependent thermal conductivity in silica nanofluids

Knowledge of the size and distribution of nanoparticles in solution is critical to understanding the observed enhancements in thermal conductivity and heat transfer of nanofluids. We have applied small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to the characterization of SiO₂ nanoparticles (10–30 nm) uniformly dispersed in a water-based fluid using the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. Size distributions for the suspended nanoparticles were derived by fitting experimental data to an established model. Thermal conductivity of the SiO₂ nanofluids was also measured, and the relation between the average particle size and the thermal conductivity enhancement was established. The experimental data contradict models based on fluid interfacial layers or Brownian motion but support the concept of thermal resistance at the liquid–particle interface.     

低密度氢气的分子间平均相互作用势理论和计算

本文提出了分子单中心模型,并通过对构型的平均,两个定理的提出与证明,色散能修正的证明,从数学上论证了这个模型的合理性。由此模型可以直接求出两个氢分子间的平均相互作用势,从而改变了长期以来,总是先算有限几种构型然后再作平均的传统作法。通过数字计算,得到了迄今为止最好的全程平均相互作用势曲线。势阱深度及平衡分子间距分别为-2.91meV和3.44(实验值:-2.85～-3.00meV,3.43～3.49)。     

The Measurement of the Dispersion of Pd/C Catalysts

A 10 w/o Pd/C catalyst from Johnson Matthey has been examined by three different techniques: chemisorption, line broadening of X-ray diffraction, and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) to investigate the size of the palladium crystallites. The dispersion of this catalyst was determined to be 20%. Among these techniques, the X-ray diffraction was found to be the most convenient method. Through this method, the dispersion of Pd was found to decrease on catalyzing hydroxylamine reactions at 330 K. The deactivation of Pd/C for these reactions was correlated to the sintering of palladium. H₂ chemisorption at 373 K was found to be a good way to accurately measure the number of active palladium sites in the Pd/C catalysts.     

Experimental study of wave dispersion and attenuation in concrete

Results from an experimental study concerning wave propagation in cementitious materials are presented in this paper. Narrow band pulses at several frequencies were introduced into specimens of cement paste, mortar and concrete allowing direct measurement of longitudinal wave velocities and amplitude for each frequency. It is shown that aggregate content play an important role in wave propagation increasing considerably the wave velocity, while the aggregate size seems to control the attenuation observed. Slight velocity variations observed with frequency are discussed in relation to the degree of inhomogeneity of the materials.     

应用相敏光放大器的非零色散位移光纤通信系统中的ISI限制距离研究

本文分析了1.55μm信号波长,采用强度调制/直接检测(IM/DD)方式的单信道级联相敏光放大器(PSA)非零色散位移光纤传输系统的性能.应用非线性薛定谔方程(NLSE),通过对信号传输后眼图劣化度的计算,得到了光纤传输系统的码间干扰(ISI)限制距离.由于PSA的相敏特性,其对光纤色散具有一定的补偿作用,因此级联相敏光放大器光纤通信系统可以实现信号高比特率长距离传输.然而,随着信号速率的提高,对长距离传输,必须减小光纤色散值和PSA的间距.当光纤色散值大到一定程度,要进行信号的高速率传输,就必须附加其它的色散补偿方法.

Effective-medium approach for surface-localized magnetic polaritons in magnetic (ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic) superlattices

The general effective-medium dispersion relations are derived for surface-localized magnetic polaritons which propagate parallel to the surface between a superlattice and semi-infinite bulk material, as applied to ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic superlattices, in the situation when a static magnetic field is applied in the plane of the layers and parallel to the magnetization. The dependence of the energy of the surface waves on the volume fraction of the ferromagnetic superlattice component and the influence of the external magnetic field on the spectrum of the surface magnetic polaritons for the antiferromagnetic superlattice are investigated. The spectrum of the surface-localized magnetic polaritons which appear at the junction of the magnetic (ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic) superlattice with the magnetic material are more complex, in contrast to the cases of semi-infinite magnetic material or semi-infinite magnetic SL. It is essential that in all cases in the presence of the external magnetic field the spectrum of the magnetic polaritons are non-reciprocal. The properties of surface polaritons are discussed in detail for the system ferromagnetic superlattice (YIG/non magnet)/YAG and the antiferromagnetic superlattice (MnF₂/ZnF₂)/FeF₂.     

Traffic dispersion induced by noise in off-lattice model

We study the dispersion of vehicles induced by speed fluctuation on a single-lane highway under open boundary. We extend the cellular automaton model on one-dimensional lattice to the real-variable model on off-lattice (continuous-in space model) in order to take into account the fluctuation of vehicular speed. Vehicles extend over the highway when moving forward. The characteristics of traffic dispersion are derived. It is shown that vehicular traffic exhibits scaling property. When a vehicle accelerates for following the vehicle ahead, vehicles move forming a cluster without dispersion. The relationship between the width of vehicular cluster and acceleration rate is clarified.
