Flow patterns and heat transfer in vertical upward air–water flow with surfactant

Flow patterns, the pressure drag reduction and the heat transfer in a vertical upward air–water flow with the surfactant having negligible environmental impact were studied experimentally in a tube of 2.5 cm in diameter. Visual observations showed that gas bubbles in the air–water solution with surfactant are smaller in size but much larger in number than in pure air–water mixture, at the all flow regimes. The transition lines in the flow regime map for the solution of air–water mixture with surfactant of the 300 ppm concentration are mainly consistent with the experimental data obtained in clear air–water mixture. An additive of surfactant to two-phase flow reduces the total pressure drop and decrease heat transfer, especially in the churn flow regime.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane under steady-state and transient regimes over alumina-supported catalysts prepared from mixed V_2W_4O_（19）~（4-） hexametalate precursors

An integrated approach combining the development of an innovative catalyst and the research of a set of adequate operating conditions for the propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) is described. The experimental set-up, specially designed for steady-state and transient studies is presented. The preparation method, the characterization and the performances in steady-state and transient regimes of catalysts based on V_2W_4O_(19)~(4-) Lindqvist isopolyanion used as a precursor and supported on alumina are reported. The influence of the preparation method of the catalyst and the role of water in the feed gas are more particularly discussed.

A detailed study through the focal region of near-threshold single-shot femtosecond laser ablation nano-holes in borosilicate glass

A detailed study of the morphology of nano-craters drilled in borosilicate glass by single shot femtosecond laser ablation near the ablation threshold has been performed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy imaging after focused ion beam sectioning. The influence of the numerical aperture (NA = 0.4 and 0.8), the pulse energy (16 nJ < E_p < 600 nJ) and the position of the specimen surface into the focal region were systematically investigated, leading to nanometric or micrometric scales in every spatial dimension. The nanocrater’s size is not restricted by the diffraction limit but determined by the laser pulse stability and the material properties. If the beam is focused inside the glass, two craters are drilled, shaping very distinct morphologies. Their dimensions have been studied in details and different relationships have been proposed for the evolutions of the depths and of the various diameters of these craters as functions of the pulse energy, the numerical aperture and the position of specimen surface in the beam-material interaction region. It is suggested that the long, thin conical profile with very high aspect ratio of the secondary craters is due to a spontaneous reshaping of the beam which transforms the incoming Gaussian pulse into a Gaussian-Bessel pulse. As proposed in the developed model the geometry of the second craters seems to be connected with the one of the main craters.     

Ablation yield and angular distribution of ablated particles from laser-irradiated metals: The most fundamental determining factor

Five metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Ti, and Mo) were irradiated with 150 shots of a Q-switched Nd:YAG pulsed laser in a vacuum of 10⁻³ torr. The ions projected out of the laser-produced plasma (LPP) plume were detected by CR-39 detectors positioned at −15°, 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° with respect to the target-surface normal at a distance of 5 cm from the target in each case. The angular distribution of LPP ions, which is characterized by the exponent n of cosⁿ θ distribution, is given by n = 2.5-11 for the five target metals. The value of the exponent n has no systematic correlation with the square-root of atomic mass of the target metals but exhibits systematic dependence on the room temperature Debye-Waller's thermal parameter B or the mean-square amplitude of atomic vibrations 〈u²〉. Likewise, the ablation yield (atoms/shot) of the twelve target metals investigated by Thestrup et al. (2002) [8] under identical irradiation conditions is a function of the room temperature B-factor or 〈u²〉.     

Simultaneous establishing of stationary growth rate and composition of supercritical droplets at isothermal binary condensation in the diffusion-controlled regime

General integral relations expressing the droplet radius and time of the droplet nonstationary growth as nonlinear functions of solution concentration in the droplet have been derived. These relations are valid for a supercritical droplet (i.e., sufficiently large droplet, for which the Laplace pressure effect on the concentration at saturation of vapors is negligible) isothermally growing via stationary diffusion in the mixture of two condensing vapors and an incondensable carrier gas. The initial composition in the droplet may be arbitrary and partial molecular volumes of components are not fixed. Explicit analytical relations have been found for droplet composition and the droplet size as functions of time at small deviations from the stationary concentration in the growing droplet. These relations show that the assumption of the steady droplet growth rate is not valid for non-small deviations from the stationary concentration. Some illustrations of the general nonlinear theory have been done in situation when solution in the droplet can be considered ideal.     

Parameter space of the Rulkov chaotic neuron model

The parameter space of the two dimensional Rulkov chaotic neuron model is taken into account by using the qualitative analysis, the co-dimension 2 bifurcation, the center manifold theorem, and the normal form. The goal is intended to clarify analytically different dynamics and firing regimes of a single neuron in a two dimensional parameter space. Our research demonstrates the origin that there exist very rich nonlinear dynamics and complex biological firing regimes lies in different domains and their boundary curves in the two dimensional parameter plane. We present the parameter domains of fixed points, the saddle-node bifurcation, the supercritical/subcritical Neimark–Sacker bifurcation, stability conditions of non hyperbolic fixed points and quasiperiodic solutions. Based on these parameter domains, it is easy to know that the Rulkov chaotic neuron model can produce what kinds of firing regimes as well as their transition mechanisms. These results are very useful for building-up a large-scale neuron network with different biological functional roles and cognitive activities, especially in establishing some specific neuron network models of neurological diseases.     

Stochastic Optimization Algorithms for Pricing American Put Options Under Regime-Switching Models

This work provides a Markov-modulated stochastic approximation based approach for pricing American put options under a regime-switching geometric Brownian motion market model. The solutions of pricing American options may be characterized by certain threshold values. Here, a class of Markov-modulated stochastic approximation (SA) algorithms is developed to determine the optimal threshold levels. For option pricing in a finite horizon, a SA procedure is carried out for a fixed time T. As T varies, the optimal threshold values obtained via SA trace out a curve, called the threshold frontier. Numerical experiments are reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. Our approach provides us with a viable computational tool and has advantage in terms of the reduced computational complexity compared with the variational or quasivariational inequality methods for optimal stopping.Communicated by C.

本文采用跨音速中性气体屏蔽模型,得到了氢同位素球形靶丸在其相应高能离子轰击下的消融率G_(is)及其定标律,s可为氢或氘。计算表明,当离子与电子的未扰态能量E_(0s)/E_(0e)~2≥1.5时,G_(is)/G_(es)≥20％,G_(es)为靶丸在等离子体电子轰击下的消融率。因此,当聚变实验有中性粒子束注入加热时,需考虑高能离子轰击对靶丸消融的影响。这也为此情况下靶丸消融强化提供了一种解释。
