Frequencies Rotation at High Sound Pressure Levels Toward Low Frequencies

Today, analyzing of sound pressure level and frequency is considered as an important index in human society. Sound experts believe that analyzing of these parameters can help us to better understanding of work environments. Sound measurements and frequency analysis did to fix the harmful frequency in all sections in Shiraz gas power plant with sound analyzer model BSWA 308. The sound pressure levels (L_P) and the one and one-third octave band were continuously measured in A and C weighting networks and slow mode for time response. Excel 2013 and Minitab 18.1 software used for statistical calculations. Results analyzed by Minitab 18.1 software. The highest harmful frequency in Shiraz Gas Power Plant (SGPP) was 50 Hz with 115 dB. The sound pressure level (SPL) ranged from 45 dB to 120 dB in one-third octave band and weighting network C. The maximum sound pressure level was in Craft electricity generator with 105.3 dB and 67 Hz. Sound pressure level in surrounded environment was 120 dB. According to the results, in this industry the sound pressure level exceeded the Occupational Exposure Level of Iran (OEL). The value of sound pressure level were higher than the Standard of occupational health. SGPP consumes 47000 cubic meters of natural gas per hour to produce 100 MW (Mega Watt) of electricity. It is very high and it is not economical and cost effective. These numbers indicate that the power plant’s efficiency is low. It could be concluded that the noise pollution is an important issue in these industries. Moreover, SGPP produce noise with loss energy. Frequencies rotation at high sound pressure levels toward low frequencies were happened.

Vibratio nal assig nme nts,co nformatio nal a nalysis,a nd molecular structures of $$\left[ {\text{C}_{\text{ n}} \text{mim}} \right]\left[ {\text{NTF}_{\text{2}} } \right]$$C nmimNTF2 ( n = 2, 4, 6, a nd 8) imidazolium-based io nic liquids: a combi ned experime ntal a nd qua ntum chemical approach

This work is aimed at providing physical insights about the interactions of cations, anion, and ion pairs of four imidazolium-based ionic liquids of \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{\text{n}} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\) with varying alkyl chain lengths (n = 2, 4, 6, and 8) using both DFT calculations and vibrational spectroscopic measurements (IR absorption and Raman scattering) in the mid- and far regions. The calculated Mulliken charge distributions of \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{\text{n}} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\) ion pairs indicate that hydrogen-bonding interactions between oxygen and nitrogen atoms (more negative charge) on \(\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]^{ - }\) anion and the hydrogen atoms (more positive charge) on the imidazolium ring play a dominating role in the formation of ion pair. Thirteen stable conformers of \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{2} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\) were optimized. According to our results, the strongest and weakest hydrogen bonds were existing in \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{2} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\) and \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{8} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\), respectively. A redshift of 290, 262, 258, and 257 cm^?1 has been observed for cations involving \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{2} {\text{mim}}} \right]^{ + }\), \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{4} {\text{mim}}} \right]^{ + }\),\(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{6} {\text{mim}}} \right]^{ + }\), and stretching vibrations of \({\text{C}}12{-}{\text{H}}3\), respectively. By increasing the chain length, the strength of hydrogen bonds decreases as a result of \({\text{C}}12{-}{\text{H}}3\) bond elongation and less changes are observed in stretching vibrations of \({\text{C}}12{-}{\text{H}}3\) compared to the free cations. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first work which reports the far-IR of \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{4} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\), \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{6} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\), and \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{8} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\) and the mid-IR of \(\left[ {{\text{C}}_{8} {\text{mim}}} \right]\left[ {{\text{NTF}}_{2} } \right]\).     

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in chemoselective synthesized 2-substituted pyrrole stable phosphorus ylide: GIAO, AIM, and NBO approaches

The chemoselectivity of geometrically ylide compounds is often hard to assign from experimental techniques, particular system with intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) are even more challenging. Herein, theoretical calculations were performed to investigate whether theoretical results would provide consistent evidence for the existence of IHB to confirm experimental data and to evaluate strength of the N–H···O IHB from geometrical synthesized 2-substituted pyrrole stable phosphorus ylide (dimethyl 2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphoranylidene) butanedioate in a single chemoselective compound. Topological parameters at the bond critical points (BCP) of intramolecular hydrogen bonds from Bader’s atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and Winhold’s natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations were analyzed at the B3LYP/6-311++g** level in details. A series of gage-including atomic orbital chemical shift (GIAO c.s.) calculations at the HF and DFT levels of theory were carried out to assign the ¹H NMR chemical shifts. The best prediction of the experimental ¹H NMR values was obtained at the mPW1PW91 levels using the 6-31G** basis set. Theoretical results, in agreement with the experimental data, were confirmed the N–H···O IHB was caused the deshielding of the proton to lower field. The barriers in double bond and single bond rotation were theoretically estimated in detailed and the AIM and NPA approaches were confirmed the loss of charge of the hydrogen atom involving in intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding. The geometrical and topological parameters from AIM and NBO analyses were indicated the medium N–H···O IHB.

Free vibration and stability of an axially moving thin circular cylindrical shell using multiple scales method

This paper investigates the linear free vibration of axially moving simply supported thin circular cylindrical shells with constant and time-dependent velocity considering the effect of viscous structure damping. Classical shell theory is employed to express strain-displacement relation. Linear elasticity theory is used to write stress–strain relation considering Hook’s Law. Governing equations in cylindrical coordinates are derived using the Hamilton principle. Equilibrium equations are rewritten with the help of Donnell–Mushtari shell theory simplification assumptions. Motion equations for displacements in axial and circumferential directions are solved analytically concerning to displacement in the radial direction. As the displacement in the radial direction is the combination of driven and companion modes, the third motion equation is discretized using the Galerkin method. The set of ordinary differential equation obtained from the Galerkin method is solved using the steady-state method, which in practice leads to the prediction of the exact frequencies of vibration. By employing multiple scale method the critical speed values of a circular cylindrical shell and several types of instabilities are discussed. The numerical results show that by increasing the mean velocity, the system always loses stability by the divergence instability in different modes, and the critical speed values of lower modes are higher than those of higher modes. As well as the unstable regions for the resonances between velocity function fluctuation frequencies and the linear combination of natural frequencies is gained from the solvability condition of second order multiple scale method. The accuracy of the method is checked against the available data.
