Explosive discharge of a gas-saturated liquid from channels and tanks

A mathematical model for the discharge of a gas-saturated liquid from cylindrical channels is developed. Two limiting cases of linear and quadratic, relations between the flow friction force and the flow velocity are considered. It is established that the process of evacuation, from a semi-infinite channel consists of two stages. In the initial stage, the flow drag can be ignored, and the process of discharge is described by a Riemann wave solution. For the next stage, in which inertia is insignificant, nonlinear equations are obtained and self-similar solutions are constructed for them. The problem of flow through a slot in a tank of finite volume is solved. It is shown that the discharge proceeds either in a gas-dynamic choking regime or in a subsonic regime, depending on the conditions inside the tank and at the outlet. Examples of numerical calculations are given.

Spectroscopic parametrization of the method of PNDO

Special spectroscopic parameterization of the semiempirical PNDO method for calculating the spectral characteristics of polyatomic heterocyclic molecules is proposed. The parameters are calibrated according to the experimental absorption spectra, photoelectronic spectra, and the dipole moments of benzene and its derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 96–100, November, 1986.     

Forced nonlinear oscillations of a gas bubble in a large spherical flask (resonator) filled with a fluid

Radial oscillations of a gas bubble in a large spherical flask filled with a fluid are considered. We derive an equation of the change of the bubble radius by the known law of pressure variation at the boundary of the liquid volume (the law of motion of the piston) for a period of time during which, repeatedly reflected from the piston, the leading front of the reflected-from-the bubble perturbations reaches the bubble. For further calculations of the change of the bubble radius, recurrent relations which include the wave reflected from the bubble in the previous cycle and its subsequent reflection from the piston are obtained. Under harmonic action of the piston on the fluid-bubble system, a certain periodic regime with a package of bubble oscillations is established.

Resonance absorption of ultrasound due to rotational lattice vibrations

The nuclear spin-phonon interaction Hamiltonian for Van Vleck paramagnets is derived in general form with allowance for rotational vibrations of the crystal lattice. The specific form of the Hamiltonian is given for tetragonal crystal symmetry in the cases S=1/2 and S > 1/2. The coefficient of sound absorption at the electron-nuclear levels as well as the electron spin system is calculated. It is verified that the contribution of rotational lattice vibrations can in a number of cases turn out to be an order of magnitude greater than the contribution depending on the shear and compressive strain.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 80–85, March, 1980.     

Photoconductivity of the narrow-gap Pb<Subscript>1 − <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Sn<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Te(In) semiconductors in the terahertz spectral range

The spectral dependence of photoconductivity in the doped narrow-gap semiconductor Pb_0.75Sn_0.25Te(In) under the action of terahertz laser radiation pulses has been studied at temperatures 4.2–30 K. It is shown that the photoconductivity spectrum of the semiconductor spreads at least up to the wavelength of 500 μm. This value is more than twice higher than the red cutoff wavelength of 220 μm in uniaxially stressed Ge(Ga) which is known as the most long-wavelength photodetector among sensitive photon detectors of radiation. Mechanisms responsible for photosensitivity of PbSnTe(In) in the terahertz spectral range are discussed.
