Calculating vibrational mode contributions to sound absorption in excitable gas mixtures by decomposing multi-relaxation absorption spectroscopy

Sound relaxational absorption spectroscopy of excitable gas mixtures is potentially applied for gas composition detection. The relaxation of vibrational modes of gas molecules determines the sound relaxational absorption. However, to our knowledge, the contribution of each vibrational mode available in gas mixtures to sound multi-relaxation absorption has not been calculated in existing literature. In this paper, based on the decoupled expression of the effective isochoric molar heat for a gas mixture, a sound multi-relaxation absorption spectrum is decomposed into the sum of single-relaxation spectra. From this decomposable characteristic, the contribution of each vibrational mode available in the gaseous medium to the multi-relaxation absorption is obtained at room temperature. For various gas compositions including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen etc., the calculated contributions of vibrational modes are verified by the comparison with experiment data. We prove the following views with quantifiable outcomes that the primary molecular relaxation process associated with the lowest mode plays the major role in acoustic relaxational absorption of gas mixtures; the mode with lower vibrational frequency provides higher contribution to the primary relaxation process. This work could provide a deeper insight into the relationship between the sound relaxational absorption spectroscopy and gas molecules.     

基于声吸收谱峰值点的天然气燃烧特性检测理论

天然气的成分构成会随产地来源变化而不同, 使其具有不同的燃烧特性和经济价值.本文利用声吸收谱峰值点随气体成分变化而改变的声分子弛豫现象, 提出一种天然气燃烧特性检测理论.它基于两频点上声测量值可合成声吸收谱峰值点, 且依赖于频率的声吸收谱可由峰值点重建的物理原理; 可利用峰值点对应的特征量——弛豫频率和弛豫吸收最大值与气体成分的关系, 从两个维度同时定量检测天然气成分.该理论避免了传统上测量声吸收谱峰值点方法需要不断改变气体腔体压强的问题, 还具有无需测量气体密度的优点.     

可激发气体振动弛豫时间的两频点声测量重建算法

振动弛豫时间是可激发气体分子内外自由度能量转移速率的宏观体现,它决定了声吸收谱峰值点对应的弛豫频率.本文给出了等温、绝热定压和绝热定容三种不同热力学过程下振动弛豫时间的相互关系;基于Petculescu和Lueptow[2005 Phys.Rev.Lett.94 238301]的弛豫过程合成算法,推导了单一压强下两频点声测量值的弛豫时间重建算法.该算法可应用于等温、绝热定压、绝热定容弛豫时间和弛豫频率的重建测量,并避免了弛豫时间传统声测量方法需要不断改变气体腔体压强的问题.仿真结果表明,对于室温下CO_2,CH_4,Cl_2,N_2和O_2组成的多种气体,重建的弛豫时间和弛豫频率与实验数据相符.     

可激发气体分子声弛豫过程振动模式能量转移速率计算

研究可激发气体中振动模式能量转移速率和声弛豫过程形成的关系,将单一气体Tanczos弛豫方程理论[J.Chem.Phys.25,439(1956)]扩展应用于混合气体中振动模式的振动-振动(V-V)和振动-平动(V-T)能量转移速率的计算。在室温下CO₂,CH₄,CL₂,N₂和O₂组成的多种混合气体中,振动模式能量转移速率的计算结果表明:对于多个振动模式所形成的声复合弛豫过程,各振动模式的声激发能可由V-V能量转移相互耦合后传递给具有最快V-T转移速率的最低振动频率振动模式,再通过该振动模式的V-T转移退激发形成主弛豫过程。这种选择最快转移路径的声激发量弛豫方式,造成了大多数可激发气体中声弛豫吸收谱的实测数据只存在一个吸收峰的现象。从而提供了一个可通过计算微观振动能量转移速率分析混合气体声弛豫过程形成机理的理论模型。     

Evaluation of sound absorption capacity of asphalt mixtures

Noise generation is an environmental problem that affects human beings, animals and even plants. Several serious diseases have their development associated to the exposure of human beings to high levels of noise pressure, such as arterial hypertension, gastrointestinal changes, alterations in blood glucose and high heart rate, among others. Vehicle traffic is part of a group of noise-generating factors. Various mechanisms govern the generation and propagation of vehicle noises, which are produced mainly by motor vibration at speeds below 50 km/h and by the tire-pavement contact at speeds above 50 km/h. The noise generated by tire-pavement contact is the result of two components: aerodynamic noise (mainly related to the coating porosity), and mechanical noise (related to the coating texture). The noise generation according to these two components may be mitigated by using special asphalt mixtures. This work evaluates the sound absorption of four different types of asphalt mixtures (common dense-graded asphalt mixture, dense-graded rubberized asphalt mixture, rubberized porous coat with void volumes varying from 22% to 27%, and rubberized open-graded friction course) and the effect of granulometry and void volume of each mixture on the sound absorption coefficient. Mixture slabs were molded in a slab compactor developed by LCPC (Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées) and specimens were extracted from each one for assessing the sound absorption capacity in the laboratory. The acoustic behavior was evaluated according to standard ISO 10534-2, using impedance tubes. Results showed that sound absorption is strongly influenced by void percentage, interconnected void percentage and layer thickness.     

Infrared absorption spectra of 2,3- and 3,5-dichloroaniline

The infrared absorption spectra of 2,3- and 3,5-dichloroanilines have been recorded in the region 250–4000 cm⁻¹. The spectra of the latter are recorded in solid phase (KBr and Nujol mull) and in CS₂/CCl₄ and CHCl₃ solutions while that of the former in thin film only. The spectra have been analysed assuming C ₃ and C_2v point group symmetry respectively and a tentative assignment of the observed bands to different fundamental modes has been made.     

Numerical analyses of the sound absorption of three-dimensional MPP space sound absorbers

Because microperforated panels (MPPs) can provide wide-band sound absorption without fibrous and porous materials, they are recognized as next-generation absorption materials. The fundamental absorbing mechanism is Helmholtz-resonance absorption due to the perforations and air-back cavity. Consequently, MPPs are usually placed in front of rigid-back walls. However, one of the authors has proposed MPP space sound absorbers without backing structures. Among these space absorbers, cylindrical MPP space absorbers and rectangular MPP space absorbers are advantageous due to their design flexibility and easy-to-use properties. Although their performances have been investigated experimentally, it is necessary to predict their absorption characteristics to develop improved shapes and efficient designs. Herein their absorption characteristics are numerically predicted using the two-dimensional boundary element method, and the applicability of a numerical method as a design tool to sufficiently predict the performance of MPP space absorbers is discussed.

Raman spectroscopic studies of vibrational relaxation and non‐coincidence effect in substituted benzaldehyde binary mixtures

The molecular interaction in the binary mixture of 3‐phenoxybenzaldhyde (3Phbz) and 4‐ethoxybenzaldehyde (4Etob) was analysed in four different solvents. The concentration dependence of vibrational relaxation of the CO stretching band of 3Phbz in different solvents was investigated by varying the concentration of the solute molecule in the solvents by performing Raman spectroscopic measurements. The self‐associated nature and the formation of hydrogen‐bonded complexes in the solute molecule, 4Etob, were considered to analyse the wavenumber separation between the peaks of hydrogen‐bonded and free carbonyl groups.

Measurement of sound absorption coefficients of flat surfaces in a workshop

To improve the acoustic treatment of facings and provide appropriate solutions for noise control at workplace, it is necessary to develop methods of acoustic characterization of the walls in industrial halls. Sound absorption coefficient measurement in industrial rooms is however quite a difficult task because of the partially reverberant conditions. This work describes the measurement of the sound absorption coefficient of flat panels subject to small angle sound incidence, in an industrial hall using an experimental device equipped with an acoustic array. The directivity of this array has been optimized so that the major part of the received acoustic energy would come from one portion only of the investigated facing, this, in turn attenuating the reflected beams due to the reverberation. This new device includes an impulse sound source targeting the panels. The present article focuses mainly on the sound source design and implementation. It also describes some sound absorption measurements carried in a semi-anechoic chamber and in an industrial hall in order to examine the performance of the device. Sound absorption coefficients of several standard liners obtained through this device have been compared to those resulted from the two microphone technique.     

Improved sound absorption performance of three-dimensional MPP space sound absorbers by filling with porous materials

Because microperforated panels (MPPs), which can be made from various materials, provide wide-band sound absorption, they are recognized as one of the next-generation absorption materials. Although MPPs are typically placed in front of rigid walls, MPP space sound absorbers without a backing structure, including three-dimensional cylindrical MPP space absorbers (CMSAs) and rectangular MPP space absorbers (RMSAs), are proposed to extend their design flexibility and easy-to-use properties. On the other hand, improving the absorption performance by filling the back cavity of typical MPP absorbers with porous materials has been shown theoretically, and three-dimensional MPP space absorbers should display similar improvements. Herein the effects of porous materials inserted into the cavities of CMSAs and RMSAs are experimentally investigated and a numerical prediction method using the two-dimensional boundary element method is proposed. Consequently, CMSAs and RMSAs with improved absorption performances are illustrated based on the experimental results, and the applicability of the proposed prediction method as a design tool is confirmed by comparing the experimental and numerical results.

力学共振吸收谱探测耦合振动模式

提出探测复杂力学振动系统耦合振动模式的方法:通过测量力学振动系统中某一易于探测的振动模式对外力的响应行为,在该振动模式应变落后于应力的相位差-频率谱(表观机械能耗散-频率谱)中,除了能观察到与被测量振动模式本征频率所对应的相位变化外,与被测量振动模式耦合的其他振动模式也表现为共振吸收峰;从共振吸收峰的性质,如峰位、峰宽、峰高等可以得到相应耦合振动模式的本征频率、损耗以及耦合强度等信息.以倒扭摆力学系统为例,通过测量扭摆的扭转振动模式应变落后于应力的相位差-频率谱研究了扭摆系统中摆杆的进动振动模式.     

Submillimeter-wave spectroscopy of HCO in the excited vibrational states

The pure rotational transitions of HCO⁺ in excited vibrational states located below 5000 cm⁻¹ over the ground state have been investigated with a high-sensitivity frequency/magnetic field double modulation submillimeter-wave spectrometer in the frequency range of 280-810 GHz. The ions were generated in an extended negative glow discharge through a gas mixture of a few millitorrs of H₂ and CO and 12 mTorr of Ar buffer gas. Throughout the experiments, the cell was maintained at liquid nitrogen temperature. In the present study, we have determined accurate molecular constants for the excited vibrational states. Our analysis suggests that there may be a higher order Coriolis interaction between the (0 3 1) and (1 2 0) states. In previous investigations, the Stark effect caused by the electric field present in the discharge plasma was cited as a reason for non-observations of low-J lines in the (02²0) and for the systematic shifts observed for low-J lines in the (01¹0), (02²0), (03¹0), and (04²0) states of HCO⁺ as well as DCO⁺. In the present investigation, some low-J lines in the (02²0) and (04²0) states have been observed in emission. Furthermore, J = 8-7, J = 9-8 lines in (03^1e1) were detected in emission. This finding indicates that missing low-J lines for the Δ sublevel obtained in the past is not due to the Stark effect but due to small population differences in those levels.
