Steady streaming around a spherical drop displaced from the velocity antinode in an acoustic levitation field

The steady (acoustic) streaming associated with a sphericaldrop displaced from the velocity antinode of a standing waveis studied. The ratio of the particle size to the acoustic wavelengthis treated as small but non-zero, and the solution is developedin the form of a two-term expansion in terms of the correspondingsmallness parameter. The drop viscosity is assumed to be muchhigher than that of the surrounding fluid, which is the casefor a drop in a gas medium. There are essentially three distinctregions where the steady streaming flow is analysed: insidethe drop (internal circulation), in the Stokes shear-wave layerat the surface on the gas side, and the gas outside the Stokeslayer (the outer streaming region). Solutions for the internalcirculation and the outer streaming are obtained in the limitof small Reynolds number. Despite the gas-to-liquid viscosity ratio being small, the outerstreaming may be dramatically affected by the fact that thesphere is liquid as opposed to solid. The parameter that measuresthe effect of liquidity is essentially the viscosity ratio dividedby the relative (to the particle size) thickness of the Stokeslayer. The case of a solid sphere is recovered by letting thisparameter go to zero.     

Lewis base stabilized phosphanylborane

The abstraction of the Lewis acid from [W(CO)(5)(PH(2)BH(2)NMe(3))] (1) by an excess of P(OMe(3))(3) leads to the quantitative formation of the first Lewis base stabilized monomeric parent compound of phosphanylborane [H(2)PBH(2)NMe(3)] 2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have shown a low energetic difference between the crystallographically determined antiperiplanar arrangement of the lone pair and the trimethylamine group relative to the P-B core and the synperiplanar conformation. Subsequent reactions with the main-group Lewis acid BH(3) as well as with an [Fe(CO)(4)] unit as a transition-metal Lewis acid led to the formation of [(BH(3))PH(2)BH(2)NMe(3)] (3), containing a central H(3)B-PH(2)-BH(2) unit, and [Fe(CO)(4)(PH(2)BH(2)NMe(3))] (4), respectively. In oxidation processes with O(2), Me(3)NO, elemental sulfur, and selenium, the boranylphosphine chalcogenides [H(2)P(Q)BH(2)NMe(3)] (Q = S 5 b; Se 5 c) as well as the novel boranyl phosphonic acid [(HO)(2)P(O)BH(2)NMe(3)] (6 a) are formed. All products have been characterized by spectroscopic as well as by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis.     

一种EGA—MS系统的标定方法

ＣａＣ２Ｏ４真空热分解中，第一阶段生成的ＣＯ中４７％歧化成ＣＯ２和Ｃ；第二阶段生成的ＣＯ与第一阶段生成的Ｃ发生气化反应，发生反应的比例随样品量增加而增大。用ＣａＣＯ３标定ＣＯ后再用ＣａＣ２Ｏ４标定ＣＯ可以排除这些干扰。本文提出了一个对任意气体标定的方法。
