Flow of Oldroyd-B fluid with nanoparticles and thermal radiation

The two-dimensional boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid in the presence of nanoparticles is investigated. Convective heat and mass conditions are considered in the presence of thermal radiation and heat generation. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are retained. The nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into the ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems. The resulting ODE systems are solved for the series solutions. The results are analyzed for various physical parameters of interest. Numerical values of the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also computed and analyzed.     

Inverse scattering problem from an impedance crack via a composite method

In this paper we consider an inverse scattering problem from an open arc with impedance boundary conditions on both sides of the crack. Our aim is to recover both the impedance function and the unknown crack simultaneously from the far-field pattern with only one incident wave. Making the most out of the direct problem, a straightforward method of iterative nature is developed for the inverse problem. The ill-posedness of this problem is considered by incorporating the Tikhonov regularization. Numerical examples are provided at the end of the paper to show the feasibility of our method.     

Mixed convection in gravity-driven nano-liquid film containing both nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms

Analysis of a gravity-induced film flow of a fluid containing both nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms along a convectively heated vertical surface is presented. The Buongiorno model is applied. Two kinds of boundary conditions, the passive and the active boundary conditions, are considered to investigate this film flow phenomenon. Through a set of similarity variables, the ordinary differential equations that describe the conservation of the momentum, the thermal energy, the nanoparticles, and the microorganisms are derived and then solved numerically by an efficient finite difference technique. The effects of various physical parameters on the profiles of momentum, thermal energy, nanoparticles, microorganisms, local skin friction, local Nusselt number, local wall mass flux, and local wall motile microorganisms flux are investigated. It is expected that the passively controlled nanofluid model can be much more easily achieved and applied in real circumstances than the actively controlled model.     

Exergy analysis of ramjet

An exergy analysis of possible regimes of energy supply to the air flow in the ramjet duct is carried out. A condition for the supply of a given heat amount to supersonic flow and a condition of the passage across the sound velocity are obtained for a duct with variable cross-sectional area. An analysis of the flow in a model ramjet duct at a pulsed-periodic energy supply is carried out. For a clear demonstration of possible schemes of heat supply in such a duct, a diagram in the temperature-exergy coordinates is proposed. A duct configuration in which the heat supply to supersonic flow is realized with regard for the limitation of the gas static temperature is proposed.     

The apparent state of droplets on a rough surface

The factors influencing the state and wetting transition of droplets on a rough surface are both complex and obscure. The change in wetting is directly reflected by changes under the contact condition of the droplets with the surface. The recent study about the wettability of the superhydrophobic surface under the condensing condition arouses the new understanding about the apparent state of droplets on a rough surface. In this work, to validate the existence of droplets in an intermediate state, a microscale pillar topological polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface was manufactured and its wettability under various conditions was studied. According to the experimental data, it is proposed that the wetting state of a rough surface may be embodied using the contact area ratio of a solid/liquid/gas droplet with the projective plane. A general calculation model for the apparent contact angle of droplets is given and expressed diagrammatically. It is found that the measured apparent contact angles of droplets at different states on the surface falls within the range predicted by our proposed equation.

Production of the neutral top-pion πt0 in association with a high-pw jet al the LHC

In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, we study the production of the neutral top-pion πt0 in association with a high-pT jet al the LHC, which proceeds via the partonic processes gg→πt0g, gq→πt0q, qq→πt0g, gb(b)→πt0b(b), and bb→πt0g. We find that it is very challenging to detect the neutral top-pion πt0 via the process pp→πt0 +jet-t-X→tt +jet + X, while the possible signatures of πt0 might be detected via the process pp→πt0 +jet+X→(tc+tc)+jet+X at the LHC.

Theoretical study of the electronic structure of LiNa and LiNa<Superscript>+</Superscript> molecules

Adiabatic potential energy, spectroscopic constants, dipole moments, and vibrational levels of the lowest electronic states of the alkali dimer LiNa molecule dissociating into Na (3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, and 4p) + Li (2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p) in ^1,3Σ, ^1,3Π, and ^1,3Δ symmetries are presented. Adiabatic results are also reported for ²Σ, ²Π, and ²Δ electronic states of the molecular ion LiNa⁺ dissociating into Li (2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p) + Na⁺ and Li⁺  + Na(3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, and 4p). We use an ab initio approach involving a non-empirical pseudopotential for the Li (1s²) and Na (1s²2s²2p⁶) cores and core valence correlation correction. A very good agreement is obtained for some lowest states of the LiNa and LiNa⁺ molecules for spectroscopic constants with the available theoretical works. The existence of numerous avoided crossings between electronic states of ²Σ and ²Π symmetries is related to the charge transfer process between the two ionic systems Li⁺Na and LiNa⁺.
