Relationship Between Mesostructure,Mechanical Behaviour and Damage of Cement Composites Under High-Pressure Confinement

This work seeks to determine how the mesostructure of seven types of cement composites containing alumina particles or not controls their deviatoric strength, compaction law, and damage under high-pressure of confinement. First, the method of analysis of quasi-oedometric compression tests is presented. Accuracy of the method for concrete is discussed by means of numerical simulations. The confined compression tests performed show the effects of adding ceramic aggregates. Furthermore, an application of post-mortem analysis by infiltration technique of each specimen is presented, revealing a highly micro-cracked pattern depending of the mesostructure of these materials. From these observations, a discussion is presented on the influence that the addition of ceramic aggregates exerts on the confined behaviour of these composites. The tests showed a highly beneficial effect of the presence of particles, on both the deviatoric strength and the compaction law of the concretes considered.     

Segmented gas–liquid flow characterization in rectangular microchannels

We used optical methods such as Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (LSM) to characterize gas–liquid phase distribution in rectangular microchannels. Using a 2 m long microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of 200 μm enables the precise measurement of important parameters such as liquid slug length, bubble length, pressure drop and film thickness at the wall as well as in the corner of the microchannel for low Capillary numbers (Ca) ranging from 2 × 10⁻⁴ to 1 × 10⁻². This range of Ca was obtained by using different fluid pairs such as ethanol, water and different concentrated aqueous solutions of glycerol in combination with nitrogen.

Decomposition of Benzene in Air in a Plasma Reactor: Effect of Reactor Type and Operating Conditions

The decomposition of benzene was carried out in two types of plasma reactors packed with BaTiO₃ pellets: one reactor had two stainless steel electrodes (SUS reactor), and the other reactor had a glass layer between two concentric electrodes (GL reactor). The decomposition efficiency and the suppression of formation of N₂O and NO_x were greater in the GL reactor than in the SUS reactor. In contrast, the suppression of O₃ formation and the oxidation to CO_x in the SUS reactor were superior to those in the GL reactor. The effect of wa eform and frequency of applied ac power was in estigated for each reactor.

Effects of the pump-circuit acoustic coupling on the blade-passing frequency perturbations

Centrifugal pumps are a source of pressure and flow rate perturbations in hydraulic pumping systems. In particular, a significant excitation is usually induced at the blade-passing frequency and harmonics as a consequence of the fluid-dynamic interaction between the rotor and the stator. The magnitude of this excitation is very dependent on the internal geometry of the pump and on its point of operation, but it depends also on the acoustic response of the hydraulic network to the perturbations. The induced and transmitted perturbations can be either amplified or reduced depending on the pump-circuit acoustic coupling, and thus they can lead to excessive levels of noise and vibration under certain conditions. The purpose of the present investigation is the theoretical and experimental characterization of the perturbations induced in a laboratory pumping system, as a function of the acoustic impedance of the pipelines. For different points of operation, the blade-passing frequency impedance is changed by varying the speed of rotation and, additionally, by modifying a closed side branch of the hydraulic system (that is, in the absence of net flow through it). For the theoretical calculations an acoustic model, based on matrix formulation, is applied to obtain the influence of different acoustic impedances of the suction side on the pressure fluctuations at the pump. Test measurements with a fast-response piezoelectric pressure transducer situated at the tongue region of the pump under the same system configurations confirm the significant effect of the pump-circuit acoustic coupling on the pressure perturbations.     

Controlling waveform of light pulse with light in optical fibers

We present our experimental demonstration of controlling waveform of a signal pulse by using two beams of continuous wave (CW) generated by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers with different frequencies. Waveform of the signal pulse is modulated in an “all-optical” way according to total input power. This method is only suitable for light pulse with nanosecond width. We provide a new method for controlling light with light.
