Performances of RETGEM with resistive electrodes made of kapton foils

THGEM with resistive Kapton electrodes (RETGEM) has been developed to make the THGEM more tolerant to discharges. At higher gains with resistive electrodes, serious discharges may travel to the streamer mode, in contrast to violent sparks in conventional GEMs. These streamers are mild and less dangerous to the detector and the front-end electronics. RETGEM looks very promising, and its basic properties are being studied. Recently we developed and tested the THGEM with electrodes using 20 um thick resistive kapton foils. The new RETGEM performs at a lower discharge current, has a lower discharge probability, and has a good energy resolution of 27% and a high effective gas gain and long-term stability.     

激光-薄膜靶相互作用快电子和自生磁场的各向异性分布

采用飞秒激光与金属薄膜靶相互作用测量了快电子的空间分布。结果显示,快电子主要集中于激光反射方向和与激光成60°方向发射,呈现出明显地各向异性;其原因在于反射激光和共振吸收机制加速电子。采用OMA谱仪测量了飞秒激光与金属薄膜靶相互作用产生的二倍频散射光谱,由其伴线结构推算出的自生磁场大小为MG量级。结果显示,自生磁场的大小与快电子空间分布存在密切关联。初步估算由快电子发射形成的电流密度约 ,这与国外计算机模拟的电流密度基本一致,也许正是这个由快电子发射形成的强电流成为激发自生磁场的主要原因。     

Grain size and sample size interact to determine strength in a soft metal

Understanding the strengthening of small-scale materials and structures is one of the key issues in nanotechnology. Many theories exist, each addressing a small domain of experimentally observed size effects and invoking different mechanisms. Measurements of the stress–strain relationship of nickel foils in flexure by the load–unload method provide strikingly accurate data from the elastic region through the yield point and to high plastic strain. The data show that the effects on the rate of work-hardening due to crystallite size and sample size interact, whereas in existing theories they should be independent. Existing theories cannot be complete. The symmetry of the dependence of flow stress on grain size and structure size suggests that strengthening effects are due to a finite strained volume, however this is delimited.     

Effect of Eshelby twist on core structure of screw dislocations in molybdenum: atomic structure and electron microscope image simulations

This paper addresses the question as to whether the core structure of screw dislocations in Mo in the bulk can be obtained from high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) images of such dislocations viewed end-on in a thin foil. Atomistic simulations of the core structure of screw dislocations in elastically anisotropic Mo were carried out using bond order potentials. These simulations take account automatically of the effects of the surface relaxation displacements (anisotropic Eshelby twist). They show that the differential displacements of the atoms at the surface are different with components perpendicular to the Burgers vector about five times larger than those in the middle of the foil, the latter being characteristic of the bulk. Nye tensor plots show that the surface relaxation stresses strongly affect the incompatible distortions. HREM simulations of the computed structure reflect the displacements at the exit surface, modified by interband scattering and the microscope transfer function. Nye tensor plots obtained from the HREM images show that interband scattering also affects the incompatible distortions. It is concluded that it would be very difficult to obtain information on the core structure of screw dislocations in the bulk Mo from HREM images, even under ideal experimental conditions, and that quantitative comparisons between experimental and simulated images from assumed model structures would be essential.     

Influence of Streamwise Pitch on Local Heat Transfer Distribution for In-Line Arrays of Circular Jets with Spent Air Flow in Two Opposite Directions

Abstract

The effect of streamwise jet-to-jet spacing on local heat transfer distribution due to an in-line rectangular array of confined multiple circular air jets impinging on a surface parallel to the jet plate are experimentally studied. The length-to-diameter ratio of nozzles of the jet plate is 1.0. The flow, after impingement, is constrained to exit in two opposite directions from the confined passage formed between the jet plate and target plate. Mean jet Reynolds numbers based on the nozzle exit diameter (d) covered are 3,000, 5,000, 7,500, and 10,000; jet-to-plate distances studied are d, 2d, and 3d. Streamwise jet-to-jet distances of 3d, 4d, and 5d, and a constant spanwise pitch of 4d, are considered. The jet plates have ten spanwise rows in the streamwise direction and six jets in each spanwise row. The flat heat transfer surface is made of thin stainless-steel metal foil. Local temperature distribution on a target plate is measured using a thermal infrared camera. Wall static pressures in the streamwise direction are measured midway between the spanwise jets to estimate cross-flow velocities and individual jet velocities. The streamwise distribution of the jet flow and the cross flow is found to be least influenced by the streamwise pitch variation for the range of parameters considered during the present study. Heat transfer characteristics are explained partially on the basis of flow distribution. The cooling performance, based on the strip-averaged Nusselt number per unit mass flow rate of coolant per unit area of cooled surface, indicates deterioration for lower streamwise pitch and higher jet-to-plate distance.     

Performance of a flapping foil flow energy harvester in shear flows

Through numerical simulations, we investigate the energy harvesting performance of a heaving/pitching foil in shear flow. With two-dimensional Navier–Stokes simulations, we examined the energy harvesting efficiencies of such a system in linear shear flows and compared the results with those in uniform flows. It is found that in low shear rates, the performance of the system in linear shear flow is slightly higher than that in uniform flow, whereas the energy harvesting efficiency is greatly diminished if the shear rate is sufficiently high (this effect is more pronounced in higher frequencies). This is attributed to the effects of linear shear on the vorticity generation and the synchronization between fluid forcing and foil motion – when a strong shear flow is introduced the lift force induced by the leading edge vortex that is in phase with the heaving motion of the foil is diminished. Furthermore, by studying the instability of the wake behind the foil, we confirm that the optimal performance of the foil in linear shear flows is associated with the same physical mechanism that controls the performance of the foil in uniform flows, i.e. the excitation of the most unstable modes in the wake when the oscillation frequency of the foil is close to the frequencies of these modes.     

Effects of ultrasonic reactor design on sewage sludge disintegration

The impact of ultrasound (US) reactor design on cavitation intensity distribution and disintegration efficiency was studied for sewage sludge pre-treatment, using a US flatbed reactor of variable reaction chamber height (RCH, 20–100 mm). Mapping of cavitation intensity and treatment effects was conducted using (i) hydrophone measurements, (ii) aluminum foil tests, and (iii) soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) analyses. The overall disintegration efficiency was evaluated based on average COD solubilization. The impact of flow on treatment (in)homogeneity was additionally examined using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Results of all measurement techniques suggest that small RCHs (20 mm, for instance) enable uniform and intense treatments, while large RCHs, which are subjected to strong sound wave attenuation, entail inhomogeneous treatments where large fractions of substrate are no longer exposed to notable cavitation activity. For instance, COD solubilization (relative to alkaline hydrolysis) measured in the channel center dropped from 6.4% to zero as RCH widened from 20 mm to 100 mm. Flow-through sonication further aggravates treatment inhomogeneity due to the high flow rates in the low-cavitation channel centers. Overall disintegration efficiency declined with increasing RCH, showing a drop in average COD solubilization by 73% from RCH = 20 mm to RCH = 100 mm. The drop correlated with average cavitation noise levels (R² = 0.82), indicating that hydrophone measurements may be a suitable tool for US reactor design optimization. Overall, results suggest that reactor geometry has a critical impact on both treatment (in)homogeneity and treatment efficiency and that equal specific energy inputs do not imply equal US treatments.
