Change of evaporation rate of single monocomponent droplet with temperature using time-resolved phase rainbow refractometry

Droplet evaporation characterization, although of great significance, is still challenging. The recently developed phase rainbow refractometry (PRR) is proposed as an approach to measuring the droplet temperature, size as well as evaporation rate simultaneously, and is applied to a single flowing n-heptane droplet produced by a droplet-on-demand generator. The changes of droplet temperature and evaporation rate after a transient spark heating are reflected in the time-resolved PRR image. Results show that droplet evaporation rate increases with temperature, from ?1.28$\times {10}^{?8}$ m²/s at atmospheric 293 K to a range of (?1.5, ?8)$\times {10}^{?8}$ m²/s when heated to (294, 315) K, agreeing well with the Maxwell and Stefan–Fuchs model predictions. Uncertainty analysis suggests that the main source is the indeterminate gradient inside droplet, resulting in an underestimation of droplet temperature and evaporation rate. With the demonstration on simultaneous measurements of droplet refractive index as well as droplet transient and local evaporation rate in this work, PRR is a promising tool to investigate single droplet evaporation in real engine conditions.

Automorphisms with only infinite orbits on non-algebraic elements

 This paper generalizes results of F. K?rner from [4] where she established the existence of maximal automorphisms (i.e. automorphisms moving all non-algebraic elements). An ω-maximal automorphism is an automorphism whose powers are maximal automorphisms. We prove that any structure has an elementary extension with an ω-maximal automorphism. We also show the existence of ω-maximal automorphisms in all countable arithmetically saturated structures. Further we describe the pairs of tuples (ˉa,ˉb) for which there is an ω-maximal automorphism mapping ˉa to ˉb.

Orderings of uniquely colorable hypergraphs

For a mixed hypergraph H=(X,C,D), where C and D are set systems over the vertex set X, a coloring is a partition of X into ‘color classes’ such that every C∈C meets some class in more than one vertex, and every D∈D has a nonempty intersection with at least two classes. A vertex-orderx₁,x₂,…,x_n on X (n=|X|) is uniquely colorable if the subhypergraph induced by {x_j:1?j?i} has precisely one coloring, for each i (1?i?n). We prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether a mixed hypergraph admits a uniquely colorable vertex-order, even if the input is restricted to have just one coloring. On the other hand, via a characterization theorem it can be decided in linear time whether a given color-sequence belongs to a mixed hypergraph in which the uniquely colorable vertex-order is unique.
