Pressure-sensitive paint in aerodynamic testing

Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is a relatively new aerodynamic measurement tool with the unique capability of providing a field measurement of pressure over a test surface. An introductory review of this technology is presented, which is confined to the application of the PSP method to aircraft development wind tunnel testing. This is at present the primary application area and thus the focus of research on the use of the method, and is the authors' own area of research. Described are PSP fundamentals, the various elements comprising PSP technology, and current limitations and considerations in applying this technology. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the present capability of the method. The few publications currently available on this subject in the open literature are also referenced.     

A tool for rapid quenching of elongated polymer melts

In this article, we present a device for rapid quenching of elongated polymer melts. The tool is an accessory to the uniaxial elongational rheometer RME of Meissner and Hostettler. It is intended to be used for microscopic and other investigations of stretched polymers. The device allows us to solidify a polymer melt by pouring liquid nitrogen on it and to cut it at the nearly same instant of time. Then the sample can be easily removed from the stretching apparatus. Solving the heat diffusion equation for a polymer melt, which is cooled by liquid nitrogen, we theoretically estimate the quenching time of this method. To demonstrate that this quenching procedure indeed rapidly cools a polymer melt, the stress birefringence of elongated and subsequently quenched polystyrene melts is measured and the stress-optical coefficient C is determined. The experimental value of the stress-optical coefficient is |C|= 4.65×10⁻⁹ Pa⁻¹, which agrees well with the data in literature. Using this tool for elongation experiments with the RME, polymer melts can be solidified in between approximately 0.2 and 2.0 s, depending on the thickness of the sample.     

Mixed Fano-SP resonant absorption of THz electromagnetic waves in a photonic resonator contacting with a metal film

In terahertz frequency region, we have investigated theoretically the correlation between spectra of a free photonic structure and that deposited on a metal for several models of metal. It was found that for quasi-normal incidence of p-polarized electromagnetic field the presence of metal generates narrow spectral wells in the middle of reflection windows existing in a free photonic crystal. Quite another manifestation of metal-resonator inter-influence takes place at incident angles exceeding the Brewster angle when reflection spikes coincide with modes of photonic crystal resonator and they are absent throughout the stopband areas. The effects are strongly depended on polarization, number of periods and angle of incidence.     

Push–Pull Porphyrins via β-Pyrrole Functionalization: Evidence of Excited State Events Leading to High-Potential Charge-Separated States

A new set of free-base and zinc(II)-metallated, β-pyrrole-functionalized unsymmetrical push–pull porphyrins were designed and synthesized via β-mono- and dibrominated tetraphenylporphyrins using Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The ability of donors and acceptors on the push–pull porphyrins to produce high-potential charge separated states was investigated. The porphyrins were functionalized at the opposite β,β′-pyrrole positions of porphyrin ring bearing triphenylamine push groups and naphthalimide pull groups. Systematic studies involving optical absorption, steady-state and time-resolved emission revealed existence of intramolecular type interactions both in the ground and excited states. The push–pull nature of the molecular systems was supported by frontier orbitals generated on optimized structures, wherein delocalization of HOMO over the push group and LUMO over the pull group connecting the porphyrin π-system was witnessed. Electrochemical studies were performed to visualize the effect of push and pull groups on the overall redox potentials of the porphyrins. Spectroelectrochemical studies combined with frontier orbitals helped in characterizing the one-electron oxidized and reduced porphyrins. Finally, by performing transient absorption studies in polar benzonitrile, the ability of push–pull porphyrins to produce charge-separated states upon photoexcitation was confirmed and the measured rates were in the range of 10⁹ s⁻¹. The lifetime of the final charge separated state was around 5 ns. This study ascertains the importance of push–pull porphyrins in solar energy conversion and diverse optoelectronic applications, for which high-potential charge-separated states are warranted.     

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between cerium ion(III) and levofloxacin in micellar solution and its analytical application to the determination of levofloxacin

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between cerium ion(III) and levofloxacin is studied in a micellar solution of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide. A non-fluorescent 1:2 complex was formed between excited cerium ion(III) and ground state levofloxacin. The fluorescence of cerium ion(III) is quenched by levofloxacin with the quenching in accordance with the Stern–Volmer relation. The analytical relationship was established between the ratio of the fluorescence of levofloxacin present and absent cerium ion (III) and the concentration of levofloxacin, which helped to estimate the content of levofloxacin directly.     

Cooling Characteristics During Bath Quenching of Test Probe Using Inverse Heat Transfer

It is of engineering importance to accurately predict the surface cooling characteristics in bath quenching of metals and alloys. In this investigation, the surface cooling characteristics in quenching of Wolfson probe are estimated with reasonable accuracy by solving an inverse heat conduction problem. Regularization method is used for smoothening the input temperature measurements at probe center, for superior inversion estimates. The reverse pool-boiling curve is captured on bath quenching characteristic, plotted as cooling velocity versus surface temperature. The prime advantage is the bypassing of convection coefficients, which are uncertain in pool boiling.
