Predicting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation with an automatically generated mechanism for acetylene pyrolysis

Using Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG), we have automatically constructed a detailed mechanism for acetylene pyrolysis, which predicts formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) up to pyrene. To improve the data available for formation pathways from naphthalene to pyrene, new high‐pressure limit reaction rate coefficients and species thermochemistry were calculated using a combination of electronic structure data from the literature and new quantum calculations. Pressure‐dependent kinetics for the CH potential energy surface calculated by Zádor et al. were incorporated to ensure accurate pathways for acetylene initiation reactions. After adding these new data into the RMG database, a pressure‐dependent mechanism was generated in a single RMG simulation which captures chemistry from C to C. In general, the RMG‐generated model accurately predicts major species profiles in comparison to plug‐flow reactor data from the literature. The primary shortcoming of the model is that formation of anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene are underpredicted, and PAHs beyond pyrene are not captured. Reaction path analysis was performed for the RMG model to identify key pathways. Notable conclusions include the importance of accounting for the acetone impurity in acetylene in accurately predicting formation of odd‐carbon species, the remarkably low contribution of acetylene dimerization to vinylacetylene or diacetylene, and the dominance of the hydrogen abstraction CH addition (HACA) mechanism in the formation pathways to all PAH species in the model. This work demonstrates the improved ability of RMG to model PAH formation, while highlighting the need for more kinetics data for elementary reaction pathways to larger PAHs.

On the Hamming distances of repeated-root constacyclic codes of length 4ps

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $s$, $m$ be positive integers, $\gamma ,\lambda$ be nonzero elements of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ such that ${\gamma }^{p^s}=\lambda$. In this paper, we show that, for any positive integer $\eta$, the Hamming distances of all repeated-root $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $\eta p^s$ can be determined by those of certain simple-root $\gamma$-constacyclic codes of length $\eta$. Using this result, Hamming distances of all constacyclic codes of length $4p^s$ are obtained. As an application, we identify all MDS $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $4p^s$.     

Boundary Behavior of Semigroups of Holomorphic Mappings on the Unit Ball in C n

We study the asymptotic behavior of semigroups generated by holomorphic mappings by using an infinitesimal version of the boundary Schwarz-Wolff Lemma. In particular, the best rate of exponential convergence is obtained. In addition, we establish a geometrical version of the implicit function theorem.     

Continuity and generators of dynamical semigroups for infinite Bose systems

For a class of quasifree quantum dynamical semigroups on the algebra of the canonical commutation relations (CCR) we give sufficient conditions for these semigroups to extend to ultraweakly continuous semigroups of normal operators on the von Neumann algebra associated with a representation of the CCR. Then the explicit form of the generators of the extended semigroups is calculated.

Perturbations of Pseudodifferential Operators with Negative Definite Symbol

Pseudodifferential operators with negative definite symbols appear as generators of jump-type Markov processes. The purpose of this paper is to treat the large jumps of the process by a perturbation approach for the generator. This is of particular interest since in this way the generators are made accessible to a symbolic calculus of pseudodifferential operators. The main auxiliary result consists of a characterization of tightness of the jump measures in terms of the symbol.     

A new method for detection of alpha particles in 1 mm thick polycarbonate detectors using 50 Hz – HV ECE method

Recent studies in our laboratory have proved that electrochemical etching (ECE) of polycarbonate track detectors (PCTD) under 50 Hz – high voltage (HV) field conditions has potentials for time-integrated heavy charged particle detection and dosimetry applications. The rationale in the study is the ECE process of alpha particle tracks in 1 mm thick PCTDs by a 50 Hz – HV generator at optimized ECE conditions. Tracks of 3.2 MeV alpha particles from a collimated beam of an ²⁴¹Am source degraded in air and background tracks were registered. The effects of HV and ECE duration on alpha track registration efficiency and track diameters were studied for 3 sets of 50 Hz – 4, 5 and 6 kV field conditions in a PEW solution (potassium hydroxide, ethanol and water) at 26 °C. The optimized ECE conditions obtained at this stage of development for 1 mm thick PCTDs are 50 Hz – 4 kV in PEW solution at 26 °C for 10 h. Alpha track registration efficiency at 3.2 MeV is about 30% with 37 ± 6 μm mean track diameter. The mean background track density at the above stated optimized conditions is about 571 ± 16 tracks.cm⁻² with a mean diameter of 65 ± 5 μm. All tracks are observable by the unaided eyes. The mean background track diameter is near two times larger than that of alpha particle tracks at the optimum conditions applied; they are easily distinguished against each other. This high background track density while at this stage of development seems a drawback for low dose and low fluence particle applications, it has minimal effects on high fluence ion detection applications. The simple 50 Hz – HV generator used proved to be convenient for efficient alpha track amplifications. Studies are underway for improvement of the method in particular for reducing background track density.
