柱状石墨烯膜反渗透滤盐特性及机理

柱状石墨烯在能源气体的存储运输和气体净化分离等方面备受关注,但其在海水淡化方面受到了大面积制备的限制,其反渗透特性和机理尚未明晰.本文运用分子动力学方法研究了不同压强、温度和膜的剪切运动对柱状石墨烯膜反渗透滤盐特性的影响规律.结果表明:压强较大时,水通量随着压强的增加而线性增加;温度的升高能提升水分子渗透率,但对离子截留率的影响不大;反渗透膜的剪切运动虽然会阻碍水分子的渗透,但相应地可以提高离子截留率.对氢键和离子水合结构的分析表明,反渗透膜的剪切运动可以提高氢键和离子水合壳的稳定性,但温度的升高会产生相反的效果.本文结果有助于深入理解柱状石墨烯膜在不同条件下的脱盐性能,进一步验证了柱状石墨烯膜在海水淡化领域的巨大应用潜力.

氢化多孔石墨烯反渗透特性及机理分析

单层石墨烯凭借超薄的厚度和优异的力学化学防污性能,成为新一代纳滤膜材料的最佳选择之一.本文采用经典分子动力学方法,研究了氢化多孔石墨烯反渗透膜对盐水的反渗透特性.结果表明,水渗透量会随着驱动力、孔径和温度的增加而增加;而孔径大于水合半径的条件下,盐离子截留率会随驱动力和温度的增加而降低.当反渗透膜和盐水存在切向运动时,随着切向速度的增加可以有效提高盐离子截留率和减弱浓差极化现象,但也在一定程度上牺牲了水通量.通过分析水流沿渗透方向的能障分布、水分子的氢键分布和离子水合状态,解释了各参数变化对盐水在氢化多孔石墨烯中反渗透特性的影响机理.研究结果将提供基于单层多孔石墨烯反渗透特性的理论认识,并将为纳米级反渗透膜的设计提供帮助.

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation for studying the effect of pressure difference and periodic boundary conditions on water transport through a CNT membrane

A NEMD simulation system is constructed to simulate at two-dimensional (2D) periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) and to create two different pressures on two sides of the carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane. The simulation results show that water permeation through the same CNT membrane driven by different pressure differences exhibit similar transport phenomenon including unusually fast water permeation and a periodic (non-parabolic) radial velocity distribution unlike the parabolic form characteristic of continuum flow in the CNT membrane. A three-dimensional (3D) PBC system is also constructed to simulate water permeation through the same CNT membrane at the same pressure differences, to show the effect of PBC and simulation methodologies on transport phenomenon. The two systems both show that the forward/backward water flux increases/decreases with increasing the pressure difference from 1.0 MPa to 8.0 MPa. However, the net flux is higher for the 3D PBC system, especially at higher pressure difference is high. In general, the NEMD simulation method using the 2D PBC system is shown to be a feasible and valuable tool for studying pressure-driven permeation processes such as nanofiltration through these studies with model CNT membrane.     

Translocation of DNA oligonucleotide through carbon nanotube channels under induced pressure difference

This paper presents molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of DNA oligonucleotide and water molecules translocating through carbon nanotube (CNT) channels. Induced pressure difference is applied to the system by pushing a layer of water molecules towards the flow direction to drive the oligonucleotide and other molecules. This novel MD simulation investigates the flow behaviour of oligonucleotide and water molecules in nanochannel while controlling the temperature and volume of the system in canonical ensemble. The results show that the oligonucleotide is unable to translocate through the (8, 8)-(12, 12) CNT channel under the induced pressures applied. However, the oligonucleotide can transport through the (10, 10)-(14, 14) CNT channel easily under the same induced pressures. It is observed that less water molecules permeate through the center of the (8, 8)-(12, 12) CNT channel as the strength of the induced pressure is increased. In contrast, more water molecules flow through the (10, 10)-(14, 14) CNT channel at a higher induced pressure. The conformational energy of the oligonucleotide in the CNT channels has been shown to be affected by both the strength of the induced pressure and the size of the nanotube. Although the interactive force between oligonucleotide and CNT channel is dependent on their distance apart, the induced pressure within the (8, 8)-(12, 12) nanotube channel acts as an external factor that affects the distance between the oligonucleotide and the CNT junction. The insertion depth of the oligonucleotide in the (8, 8)-(12, 12) CNT channel relies on the magnitude of the induced pressure. Both the velocity of oligonucleotide and the interactive force between oligonucleotide and nanotube wall are shown to increase when the oligonucleotide is travelling through the narrower part of the (10, 10)-(14, 14) CNT channel.

Ferromagnetic CNT suspended H2O+Cu nanofluid analysis through composite stenosed arteries with permeable wall

In the present article magnetic field effects for CNT suspended copper nanoparticles for blood flow through composite stenosed arteries with permeable wall are discussed. The CNT suspended copper nanoparticles for the blood flow with water as base fluid is not explored yet. The equations for the CNT suspended Cu–water nanofluid are developed first time in the literature and simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. Exact solutions have been evaluated for velocity, pressure gradient, the solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles and temperature profile. Effect of various flow parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is utilized. It is also observed that with the increase in slip parameter blood flows slowly in arteries and trapped bolus increases.     

Temperature-sensitive dual-segment polarization maintaining fiber Sagnac loop mirror

A new temperature-sensitive fiber Sagnac loop mirror (FLM) is proposed using two segments of polarization maintaining fiber (PMF). The proposed dual-segment FLM provides greater temperature sensitivity in the spectral spacing detuning compared to the conventional single-segment configuration. Besides, the proposed configuration also enables both efficient positive and negative spectral spacing detuning by rising the temperature of one of the PMF segments. The experimental results show that the proposed configuration has achieved a great improvement in increasing spectral spacing variation range by 6.6 times and an increment of temperature sensitivity as much as 337.6% as compared to the conventional configuration.     

A detailed model for the flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers

Many experimental investigations of CNT/CNF flame synthesis have been recently reported. However, there are as yet no comprehensive models regarding their formation, growth or structure. Herein, a CNT/CNF growth rate model is proposed that is applicable for any method of CNT/CNF production (although our particular interest lies in flame synthesis in ethylene/air flames). While it is usual for most existing models to consider only a single carbon-carrying gas that contributes towards carbon deposition, our extended model can consider a complex hydrocarbon mixture that can mimic a flame environment. The model shows that before carbon nucleation is initiated, the surface density of carbon atoms increases as they are added through diffusion from the leading face of the catalyst nanoparticle. Over time, the diffusion potential decreases due to a reduction in the carbon atom concentration gradient. However, with the onset of nucleation and growth, diffusion is reinstated as the major driving potential for carbon atom transport through the nanoparticle. Steady carbon deposition and filament growth occurs once there is a stable carbon cluster size due to nucleation. The results support our hypothesis that flame synthesis can be a much faster and higher throughput process than CVD. The CNT/CNF growth rate decreases with increasing height above the burner. Decreasing temperature at higher locations leads to slower catalyst deactivation, but the CO concentration, which is the major contributor to carbon deposition, also decreases with increasing height above the burner. One of the major findings in this work is the contribution of CO to CNT formation by flame synthesis. The concentration of hydrocarbons in the vicinity of the toroidal zone near, which most of the CNT growth is observed, is negligible compared to CO concentration. Our results provide a basis to conduct future multiscale simulations of CNT/CNF growth.
