Materials based on cellulose fabric and PVC with porous structures formed by jointed aza- and oxa-aza-crown macromolecules

A material with porous structures formed by jointed aza- and oxa-aza-crowns with peripheral OHgroups is synthesized on the basis of cellulose fabric and PVC transformed into hydroxyethylcyclam. Mesopores are mainly observed on the fiber surface. The specific surface of the material is 6 m²/g; the volume of free space is 0.112 cm³/g. Assuming the internal pores have a disk-like shape, their width is estimated at 2 nm. The material sorbs vapors of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, amides, nitriles, and sulfoxides. It also swells to a limited degree in organic solvents. When sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide is sorbed in the pores, compounds of them with H⁺- and OH^–-conducting systems of hydrogen bonds are formed.

Liquid metal flow in a finite-length cylinder with a rotating magnetic field

A liquid metal flow induced by a rotating magnetic field in a cylindrical container of finite height was investigated experimentally. It was demonstrated that the flow in a rotating magnetic field is similar to geophysical flows: the fluid rotates uniformly with depth and the Ekman layer exists at the container bottom. Near the vertical wall the flow is depicted in the form of a confined jet whose thickness determines the instability onset in a rotating magnetic field. It was shown that the critical Reynolds number can be found by using the jet velocity u ₀ for Re _cr =u ² ₀/ u/ r. The effect of frequency of a magnetic field on the fluid flow was also studied. An approximate theoretical model is presented for describing the fluid flow in a uniform rotating magnetic field.List of Symbols U _r , U , U _z radial, azimuthal and vertical velocity components, respectively - B _r , U , B _z radial, azimuthal and vertical magnetic induction components - A vector potential of magnetic field - j induced electric current density - electrical conductivity of fluid - electrical potential - kinematic viscosity - tf electromagnetic volume force - angular velocity of fluid rotation - R container radius - H container height - aspect ratio - E Ekman number - Re _cr critical Reynolds number - r, z radial and axial coordinates     

Conditions of Rayleigh-Bénard convection onset and heat transfer in a near-critical medium

Thermal gravity convection in a horizontal layer of compressible perfect gas heated from below and a van der Waals gas near the critical state is investigated. The characteristics of the isentropic equilibrium of a compressible medium with a van der Waals equation of state are considered. The known conditions of convection onset in the perfect and van der Waals gases are checked on the basis of a solution of the complete and linearized equations. The restrictions imposed in deriving the known formulas for the adiabatic temperature gradients used in the conditions of absence and onset of convection are discussed. The characteristics of the convective heat transfer are examined, including the causes of the heat-transfer deterioration in the near-critical medium above the hydrostatic equilibrium threshold.

Ground-based complex for checking the optical system

The purpose TUS space experiment is to study cosmic rays of ultrahigh energies produced by extensive air showers from space. The concentrator is located on satellite, made in the form of the Fresnel mirror towards the earth’s atmosphere, the focus of which is a photodetector. The angle of view of the mirror is ±4.5° that for a given height of the orbit corresponds to the area 80 × 80 km² on ground. The ground complex consisting of a number of stations, to check the optical system of the experiment is created, (their location and the amount will be determined after the launch of the satellite based on its actual orbit).

Esters of ferrocenol: Synthesis,optical properties,and electrochemical behavior

Ferrocenol esters were prepared by the reaction of ferrocenylboric acid with aldehydes and air oxygen catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene. Optical properties (electron absorption and fluorescence spectra) and electrochemical behavior of the obtained compounds were studied (oxidation and reduction during the process of cyclic voltammetry).
