Measurement of the concentration diffusion coefficient for Ne-Ar,Ne-Xe,Ne-H2, Xe-H2, H2-N2 and H2-O2 gas systems

The concentration diffusion coefficient, D ₁₂, is measured for the equimolar mixtures of Ne-Ar, Ne-Xe, Ne-H₂, Xe-H₂, H₂-N₂ and H₂-O₂ binary gas systems in a two-bulb metal apparatus in the temperature range 0 C to 100 C. These values are compared with the existing data on these systems and with the predictions of the kinetic theory in conjunction with the modified Buckingham exp-six potential. Unlike the thermal diffusion coefficient, with the simple theory it is possible to predict D ₁₂ within a few percent even for systems involving polyatomic gases. The smoothed experimental D ₁₂ values are also used to obtain data for the coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity at round temperatures and compositions for these systems.     

Measurement of the concentration diffusion coefficient for He-Ar and Ne-Kr by a two bulb method

Summary A two bulb glass apparatus was used to measure the concentration diffusion coefficient of the binary gas systems He-Ar and Ne-Kr. The coefficients were determined for equimolar mixtures at temperatures between 0°C and 70°C. The diffusion was followed as a function of time by withdrawing samples and analyzing them in a specially designed thermal conductivity analyzer with high accuracy. The diffusion coefficients agree with earlier reported experimental values and with those obtained on the basis of the Chapman-Enskog theory in conjunction with the modified Buckingham exp-six and Lennard-Jones (12-6) intermolecular potentials. The smoothed values were used to predict viscosity and thermal conductivity of these mixtures as a function of composition and temperature.     

Structure cellulaire de la détonation des mélanges H2–NO2/N2O4Cellular structure of the detonation of gaseous mixtures H2–NO2/N2O4

Calculations of the detonation reaction zone of gaseous reactive mixtures of NO₂/N₂O₄ as oxidizer and H₂, CH₄ or C₂H₆ as fuel, in the range of equivalence ratio Φ between 0.5 and 2, show that, for Φ?1, the chemical energy is released in two distinct and successive exothermic steps with different chemical induction times. The first exothermic stage is mainly due to the reaction NO₂+H→NO+OH, NO being the main oxidizer of the second one.The experimental study conducted on the same range of equivalence ratio (0.5?Φ?2) shows that, for Φ?1, the detonation wave of these mixtures contains a double set of cellular structures. A similar result had already been obtained with the detonation of gaseous Nitromethane, the NO₂ group being here included in the molecule. Consequently, the oxidizer NO₂ being either initially separated from the fuel or included inside the molecule of a monopropellant (Nitromethane) is responsible, because of its specific chemical kinetics, of a chemical energy release in two main steps and of the existence of a double cellular structure in the detonation wave for the same range of equivalence ratio. These results reinforce the assumption that the cellular structure of the detonation finds its origin in the strong rates of chemical energy release inside the reaction zone.

Evaporation heat transfer coefficient in single circular small tubes for flow natural refrigerants of C3H8, NH3, and CO2

An experimental study of evaporation heat transfer coefficients for single circular small tubes was conducted for the flow of C₃H₈, NH₃, and CO₂ under various flow conditions. The test matrix encompasses the entire quality range from 0.0 to 1.0, mass fluxes from 50 to 600 kg m⁻² s⁻¹, heat fluxes from 5 to 70 kW m⁻², and saturation temperatures from 0 to 10 °C. The test section was made of circular stainless steel tubes with inner diameters of 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm, and a length of 2000 mm in a horizontal orientation. The test section was uniformly heated by applying electric power directly to the tubes. The effects of mass flux, heat flux, saturation temperature, and inner tube diameter on the heat transfer coefficient are reported. Among the working refrigerants considered in this study, CO₂ has the highest heat transfer coefficient. Laminar flow was observed in the evaporative small tubes, and was considered in the modification of boiling heat transfer coefficients and pressure drop correlations.

Measurement of propagation speeds in adiabatic cellular premixed flames of CH4 + O2 + CO2

Experimental measurements of the propagation speed of adiabatic flames of methane + oxygen + carbon dioxide are presented. The oxygen content O₂/(O₂ + CO₂) in the artificial air was 31.55% and 35%. Non-stretched flames were stabilized on a perforated plate burner at atmospheric pressure. A heat flux method was used to determine propagation speeds under conditions when the net heat loss of the flame is zero. Under specific experimental conditions the flames become cellular; this leads to significant modification of the flame propagation speed. The onset of cellularity was observed throughout the stoichiometric range of the mixtures studied. Measurements in cellular flames are presented and compared with those for laminar flat flames. Cellularity disappeared when the flames became only slightly sub-adiabatic. Visual and photographic observations of the flames were performed to quantify their cellular structure. Increasing the oxygen content in the artificial air and increasing the temperature of the burner plate led to increase of the number of cells observed.     

无氢类金刚石薄膜表面H2O和O2分子共同作用的第一性原理计算

无氢类金刚石碳基薄膜(Diamond-like carbon,DLC)在潮湿大气环境中具有较低的摩擦系数,这主要是由于环境中的H₂O和O₂两种活性分子钝化了无氢DLC薄膜表面的悬键,但迄今两种活性分子对无氢DLC薄膜低摩擦行为的协同影响机制仍不清楚. 本文中通过第一性原理计算方法研究了H₂O和O₂分子共存时在金刚石表面的钝化状态,并推测了无氢DLC薄膜实现低摩擦的可能途径. 结果表明:H₂O和O₂两种活性分子在金刚石表面分解形成OH、H及O基团,其中O原子和H原子的相互吸引能够促使其形成OH基团. 当H₂O分子和O₂分子按比例2:1共存时,金刚石表面全部由OH基团钝化,而非2:1比例时,金刚石表面会形成C-OH、C-H和C-O共存的复杂情况.      

Spatiotemporal variations of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations between31 Chinese cities and their relationships with SO2,NO2,CO and O3

The variations of mass concentrations of PM_2.5,PM₁₀,SO₂,NO₂,CO,and O₃ in 31 Chinese provincial capital cities were analyzed based on data from 286 monitoring sites obtained between March 22,2013 and March 31,2014.By comparing the pollutant concentrations over this length of time,the characteristics of the monthly variations of mass concentrations of air pollutants were determined.We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to establish the relationship between PM_2.5,PM₁₀,and the gas pollutants.The results revealed significant differences in the concentration levels of air pollutants and in the variations between the different cities.The Pearson correlation coefficients between PMs and NO₂ and SO₂ were either high or moderate(PM_2.5 with NO₂:r=0.256-0.688,mean r=0.498;PM₁₀ with NO₂:r = 0.169-0.713,mean r = 0.493;PM2.5 with SO₂:r= 0.232-0.693,mean r=0.449;PM₁₀ with SO₂:r = 0.131-0.669,mean r=0.403).The correlation between PMs and CO was diverse(PM_2.5:r = 0.156-0.721,mean r=0.437;PM₁₀:r=0.06-0.67,mean r= 0.380).The correlation between PMs and O₃ was either weak or uncorrelated(PM_2.5:r--0.35 to 0.089,mean r=-0.164;PM₁₀:r=-0.279 to 0.078,mean r=-0.127),except in Haikou(PM2.5:r=0.500;PM₁₀:r-0.509).     

Variation of PM2.5 concentration in Hangzhou,China

This observational study investigates the variation of PM_2.5 concentration and its ratio against PM₁₀ concentration under different weather systems and pollution types.The study was conducted in Hangzhou on east China’s Yangtze River Delta using data collected at seven ambient air quality monitoring stations around the metropolitan area between 2006 and 2008 and using weather information in the same period, Nine predominant weather systems affecting the city were classified through careful analysis of the 11- year surface and upper air weather charts from 1996 to 2006,Each observational day was then assigned to one of the nine weather systems.It was found that the PM_2.5 concentration varied greatly for different weather systems,with the highest PM_2.5 concentration associated with the post-cold-frontal system at 0.091 mg/m³ and the lowest PM_2.5 concentration with the easterlies system at 0.038 mg/m³,although the PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio remained consistently above 0.5 for all systems.The post-cold-frontal system typically occurs in autumn and winter while the easterlies system is more a summer phenomenon.Among all types of pollution,the highest PM_2.5 concentration of 0.117 mg/m³ coincided with the large-scale continuous pollution events,suggesting that this type of pollution was more conducive to the formation of secondary particulate matters.The ratio of PM_2.5/PM₁₀ was above 0.5 in non-pollution days and all pollution types but one under the influence of dust storms when the ratio decreased to 0.3 or less.The outcomes of this study could be used to develop a rudimental predictive model of PM_2.5 concentration based on weather system and pollution type.     

Kinetics of ultrafine coating of SiO2 nanoparticles, suspended in non-thermal CH4/C2H6 plasma

Capacitively coupled RF discharges in methane and ethane (1000–3000 Pa, 5–15 W/cm³) were used for the in-flight coating of SiO₂ nanopowders (NP) with an a-C:H layer [A. Kouprine, F. Gitzhofer, M. Boulos, A. Fridman, Polymer-like C:H thin film coating of nanopowders in capacitively coupled RF discharge, Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing 24 (2) (2004) 189–215]. In this present work a model of the chemical kinetics of this plasma processing has been developed, based on the GRI-Mech 3.0 mechanism [G.P. Smith, D.M. Golden, M. Frenklach, Gas Research Institute, Detailed chemical reaction mechanism. Available from: ], and calculations are performed, using the Chemkin-II code. The model includes the formation of two solid phases: an amorphous C:H coating, deposited on the suspended NP, and soot, incepted in the gas phase. Non-equilibrium plasma effects are taken into account by the rates of radical species’ production, using the reference data on the “G-value”. The CH₃ and H species appear to have key roles in surface activation and the nanofilm growth. The results demonstrate the competitive character of the formation of the two solid phases: the C:H coating is dominant under T_gas < 1400–1600 K, depending on the conditions, and soot commencing to dominate at higher temperatures. This division corresponds to the passage from non-thermal plasma conditions, with the dominance of single-valent radicals and solid phase growth on the substrate only, to the plasma thermalisation with the formation of two-valent radicals and v. inception of the solid phase. The results are validated experimentally by the observation of soot formation as a function of the gas temperature, by the mass spectrograph data on the gas composition after plasma reforming, and by the reference data on coating growth rates and induction times for soot formation.
