An efficient, inexpensive and simple method for the reduction of various α,β‐unsaturated ketones to corresponding saturated ketones using tosyl hydrazide as a hydrogen donor in DMF using calcium oxide powder has been reported. A variety of enones underwent reduction without forming undesirable side products. High chemoselectivity, broad functional group tolerance and good yields are the noteworthy features of this protocol.

Experimental Determination of the Longitudinal Dispersivity During the Injection of a Micro-Cement Grout in a One-Dimensional Soil Column

In order to describe the basic phenomenon of miscible grout propagation during the injection in a saturated and deformable porous medium, a general mathematical model was proposed, which accounts for the existing coupling between the fluid flow analysis, the miscible grout transport, and the solid skeleton deformation, leading to a realistic prediction of the injected zone. The development of the model was made concurrently with laboratory experiments to determine the model parameters. This paper describes the determination of the longitudinal dispersivity during the transport of a micro-cement grout injected in a one-dimensional soil column, by relying on image processing analysis. The application concerned here is the injection of soils for improving their properties, that is, to reduce permeability, increase mechanical strength or reduce the deformability. The longitudinal dispersion coefficient is an essential parameter governing the mixing process and the evolution of the transition zone, and thus the injection efficiency. Finally, the comparison between simulated results from the developed model and experimental data, essential to validate the model from a phenomenological standpoint, is made.

Wave-like deformations for oscillating carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanostructures such as nanotubes and fullerenes, represent future materials because of their remarkable mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Double-walled carbon nanotubes are widely studied as possible gigahertz oscillators, where the inner tube oscillates within the outer tube. These oscillators are believed to generate frequencies in the gigahertz range and typically of the order of 1–74 GHz. They are also known to generate wave-like formations on the outer surface. In this paper, we study such induced deformations on the surface of the outer tube, as generated by the moving inner tube. Following previous authors we assume that double-walled carbon nanotubes can be modelled as transversely isotropic linearly elastic materials. Using a previously derived approximate force distribution for the resultant van der Waals forces arising from the interatomic interactions, we solve a dynamic linearly elastic problem, and show that the resulting solution exhibits wave-like behaviour.

On the Formation of Discontinuities of Wave Fronts in a Saturated Granular Body

The paper deals with propagation of plane wave fronts in a solid with a non-linear relation between stress and deformation. The objective is to calculate the distance that a wave front covers before it loses continuity. The formulae derived for a general quasi-linear system of two equations are applied to the propagation of plane compression waves in dry and partially saturated granular bodies. In the case of a saturated body with gas bubbles, the influence of gas and capillary pressure on the stiffness of the body is taken into account. Numerical calculations relevant to soil mechanics are presented. For the numerical calculations a constitutive equation of the hypoplasticity theory for granular materials has been used.

Interaction of a heavy fluid flow in a channel with a transverse jet barrier

An experimental and numerical analysis of the interaction between a plane horizontal water flow in a rectangular channel (free water current) and a plane thin water jet (water jet curtain) is presented; the jet flows out vertically from either a slot nozzle in the bottom of the channel or the crest of a rigid spillway at a velocity appreciably (several times) greater than the water velocity in the channel. Numerical calculations were carried out using the STAR-CD software package preliminarily tested against the experimental data obtained. The dependence of the water level in the channel at a certain distance ahead of the jet barrier on the main jet parameters and the water flow rate in the horizontal channel is studied. It is found that in the region of the interface between the flows both steady and unsteady (self-oscillatory) flow patterns can be realized. Steady stream/jet interaction patterns of the “ejection” and “ejection-spillway” types are distinguished and a criterion separating these regimes is obtained. The notion of a rigid spillway equivalent to a jet curtain is introduced and an approximate dependence of its height on the relevant parameters of the problem is derived. The possibility of effectively controlling the water level ahead of a rigid spillway with a sharp edge by means of a plane water jet flowing from its crest is investigated. The boundary of transition to self-oscillation interaction patterns in the region of the flow interface is determined. The structure of these flows and a possible mechanism of their generation are described. Within the framework of the inviscid incompressible fluid model in the approximate formulation for a “thin” jet, an analytical dependence of the greatest possible depth of a reservoir filled with a heavy fluid at rest and screened by a vertical jet barrier on the jet parameters is obtained.     

Non-axisymmetrical vibration of elastic circular plate on layered transversely isotropic saturated ground

The non-axisymmetrical vibration of elastic circular plate resting on a layered transversely isotropic saturated ground was studied.First,the 3-d dynamic equations in cylindrical coordinate for transversely isotropic saturated soils were transformed into a group of governing differential equations with 1-order by the technique of Fourier ex- panding with respect to azimuth,and the state equation is established by Hankel integral transform method,furthermore the transfer matrixes within layered media are derived based on the solutions of the state equation.Secondly,by the transfer matrixes,the general solutions of dynamic response for layered transversely isotropic saturated ground excited by an arbitrary harmonic force were established under the boundary conditions, drainage conditions on the surface of.ground as well as the contact conditions.Thirdly, the problem was led to a pair of dual integral equations describing the mixed boundary- value problem which can be reduced to the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind solved by numerical procedure easily.At the end of this paper,a numerical result concerning vertical and radical displacements both the surface of saturated ground and plate is evaluated.
