Demulsification of Solids‐Stabilized Emulsions Under Microwave Radiation

Experimental data are presented to show the influence of solid particles on demulsification. It was found that the solid particles could effectively resist demulsification. Compared with conventional heating, microwave radiation can enhance the demulsification rate by an order of magnitude and increase the demulsification effectiveness. The demulsification effectiveness of the emulsions stabilized by graphite powder can reach 82%–89% in a very short time under microwave radiation, whilst that of the emulsions stabilized by barium sulfate can attain 100% under similar conditions.     

RADIATION INDUCED ACRYLAMIDE/CITRIC ACID HYDROGELS AND THEIR SWELLING BEHAVIORS

Citric acid (CAc) moieties containing acrylamide (AAm) hydrogels were prepared by gamma irradiation of their aqueous solutions. A possible polymerization and crosslinking mechanism for acrylamide/citric acid (AAm/CAc) hydrogels is proposed. The effects of irradiation dose and citric acid content on swelling behavior were investigated. Swelling took place in water at 25°C and was followed gravimetrically. Incorporation of a relatively low amount of citric acid to acrylamide hydrogel increased its swelling up to 950% from 700%. The diffusion of water into AAm/CAc hydrogels was found to be a non-Fickian type. Diffusion coefficients of AAm/CAc hydrogels found as 5 × 10^?7? 10 × 10^?7 cm² sec^?1. It has also been found that the number average molar mass between crosslinks is increased with the CAc content and decreased with irradiation dose.

Analysis of ultrasound-assisted convective heating/cooling process: Development and application of a Nusselt equation

In this study, the convective heating/cooling process assisted by US irradiation is analyzed with the aims of developing a new convective heat transfer correlation. Heat transfer experiments were conducted with different copper machined geometries (cube, sphere and cylinder), fluid velocities (0.93–5.00 × 10⁻³ m/s), temperatures (5–60 °C), and US intensities (0–6913 W/m²) using water as heat transfer fluid. The Nusselt (Nu) equation was obtained by assuming an apparent Nu number in the US-assisted process, expressed as the sum of contributions of the forced convection and cavitation-acoustic streaming effects. The Nu equation was validated with two sets of experiments conducted with a mixture of ethylene glycol and water (1:1 V/V) or a CaCl₂ aqueous solution (30 g/L) as immersion media, achieving a satisfactory reproduction of experimental data, with mean relative deviations of 17.6 and 17.8%, respectively. In addition, a conduction model with source term and the proposed correlation were applied to the analysis of US-accelerated heating kinetics of dry-cured ham reported in literature. Results demonstrated that US improves heating of ham slices because of the increased heat transfer coefficients and the direct absorption of US power by the foodstuff.     

Particle separation in microfluidics using different modal ultrasonic standing waves

Microfluidic technology has great advantages in the precise manipulation of micro and nano particles, and the separation of micro and nano particles based on ultrasonic standing waves has attracted much attention for its high efficiency and simplicity of structure. This paper proposes a device that uses three modes of ultrasonic standing waves to continuously separate particles with positive acoustic contrast factor in microfluidics. Three modes of acoustic standing waves are used simultaneously in different parts of the microchannel. According to the different acoustic radiation force received by the particles, the particles are finally separated to the pressure node lines on both sides and the center of the microchannel. In this separation method, initial hydrodynamic focusing and satisfying various equilibrium constraints during the separation process are the key. Through numerical simulation, the resonance frequency of the interdigital transducer, the distribution of sound pressure in the liquid, and the relationship between the interdigital electrode voltage and the output sound pressure are obtained. Finally, the entire separation process in the microchannel was simulated, and the separation of the two particles was successfully achieved. This work has laid a certain theoretical foundation for the rapid diagnosis of diseases in practical applications.     

Ultrafast dynamics control on ablation of Cu using shaped femtosecond pulse trains

The ablation processes of Cu film are investigated using temporal shaped femtosecond pulse trains. The depth is modulated by changing the number and interval of the sub-pulses. The underlying ultrafast dynamic processes are discussed based on plasma shielding and electron multiple heating mechanisms. When the sub-pulse interval is less than 0.4 ps electron multiple heating is the dominant mechanism, while the plasma shielding dominates the subsequent ablation processes when the sub-pulse interval is larger than 0.4 ps. The curve of depth obtained by three pulse trains shows more significant oscillation as the function of sub-pulse interval under the low-fluence. We propose that the oscillation of depth is due to the coherent phonon oscillation excited by the pulse train. The study provides a basis for giving insight into the ultrafast dynamics for improving micromachining and nano-fabrications using shaped femtosecond pulse trains.

六方氮化硼薄膜对石墨烯-碳化硅结构近场热辐射的增强

六方氮化硼(hBN)具有跟石墨烯类似的层状结构和晶格参数,研究发现hBN薄膜具有良好的热传导、电绝缘、光学和力学等性能。本文从理论上研究了hBN薄膜对石墨烯-碳化硅(G/S)结构的近场热辐射的影响。研究发现在红外频段.hBN薄膜在低频率区和高频率区会增强G/S结构的近场热辐射,经计算在G/S结构中加入厚度为10 nm的hBN薄膜时获得的辐射热流是同物理条件下G/S结构的1.5倍;而在中频率区hBN薄膜的厚度阻碍了石墨烯表面等离激元和碳化硅表面声子极化激元的耦合,使得近场热辐射热流随hBN薄膜厚度增加而逐渐减弱。本研究的结果可为下一步实验与应用中对hBN薄膜厚度的选择提供理论基础。
