The Adsorption,Thermal Desorption and Photochemistry of Methyl Iodide on an Ag‐Covered TiO2(110) Surface

The thermal reactions and photochemistry of monolayer methyl iodide (CH₃I) on a silver covered TiO₂(110) surface have been studied using combinative techniques of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). About ? 60% of CH₃I at monolayer coverage on Ag/TiO₂(110) dissociates between 130 and 200 K yield adsorbed CH₃ and I, with the rest desorbing molecularly at a peak temperature of 200 K in a TPD study. Photochemistry of CH₃I on Ag/TiO₂(110) is wavelength dependent. Irradiation of monolayer CH₃I by 404 nm photon causes C‐I bond dissociation and CH₃ desorption. Upon 290 nm, UV irradiation, the depletion of CH₃I_(a) is dominated by photodesorption of molecular CH₃I.     

A cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy study of IrO2 rutile single crystals

Rutile iridium dioxide (IrO₂) surfaces were studied by cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (XSTM). Atomically flat surfaces prepared by in situ ultra high vacuum cleaving of crystalline platelets of thicknesses <50 μm were successfully demonstrated. In addition to (1 1 0) surface, several vicinal planes, e.g., (1 2 0), (1 3 0) and , were also examined. The cleaved planes are close to bulk-terminated surfaces with predominant [0 0 1]-oriented bridge oxygen rows. Unlike TiO₂, bright oxygen rows are imaged and oxygen defects appear as dim species. Our studies show that XSTM is a viable technique to study oxide surfaces that are otherwise difficult to prepare.

RECIPROCATING IMPINGEMENT JET HEAT TRANSFER WITH SURFACE RIBS

This article presents the experimental heat transfer results of an impinging jet onto a flat surface with discrete ribs in a reciprocating confinement. The test flows were systemically varied from static to reciprocating conditions with oscillating frequencies of 0.83, 1.25, and 1.67 Hz. Parametric ranges of tests in terms of Reynolds, pulsating, and buoyancy numbers were 10,000-25,000, 0-0.15, and 0-4.12 x 10^-7, respectively. It was found that the nonreciprocating heat transfer close to and away from the stagnation point was respectively reduced and improved from the smooth-walled values, which led to the more spatially uniform heat transfer distribution. An empirical correlation was developed to permit the evaluation of nonreciprocating local Nusselt numbers. Under reciprocating environment with relatively weak pulsating force effects, a tendency of heat transfer deterioration from static reference developed, which trend could lead to about 20% of heat transfer reduction. Further increase of pulsating force ratio caused the subsequent heat transfer recovery, and the local reciprocating Nusselt number could be enhanced to a level about 240% of the equivalent static value at a pulsating number of 0.014. Considerable influence of reciprocating buoyancy interaction on heat transfer was detected to impede local heat transfer. As the present flow system in a reciprocating confinement could result in higher and more spatially uniform heat transfer rates in general, it could be an applicable cooling method for pistons.     

Heat Transfers in Tubes Fitted with Single,Twin, and Triple Twisted Tapes

This experimental study performs heat transfer and pressure drop measurements in three test tubes fitted with single, twin, and triple twisted-tapes with Reynolds number (Re) varying from 1,500 to 14,000. Each element of these continuous twisted-tapes that formulates the single, twin, and triple twisted-tapes has identical width, pitch, and thickness. Heat-transfer augmentations from the plain-tube conditions in three test tubes decrease with the increase of Re, while the descending rate decreases with the increase of twisted-tape in the tube. These twisted-tapes generate the more effective heat transfer enhancements in laminar flow regime than those developed in turbulent flow regime. With 3,000 ≤ Re < 14,000, the local Nusselt numbers in the tubes fitted with single, twin, and triple twisted-tapes were, respectively, 1.5–2.3, 1.98–2.8, and 2.86–3.76 times of the Dittus-Boelter levels. The Fanning friction factors in three test tubes decrease with the increase of Reynolds number. Based on the same pumping power consumption, the tube fitted with single and triple twisted-tapes possess the highest performance factors for laminar and turbulent flows, respectively. Experimental correlations of heat transfer and Fanning friction factor were derived for three tubes fitted with single, twin, and triple twisted-tapes.     

Potent Antipsoriatic Agents: A Facile Preparation of Acylated Derivatives from Dithranol in a Mild Basic Reaction

Treatment of dithranol 1 with various equivalents of acetyl chloride and Et₃N in THF at room temperature afforded the corresponding acylated derivatives, such as 1‐acetyloxy‐ and 1,8‐diacetyloxy‐9(10H)‐anthracenones, 6a , and 6b , as well as 1,8,9‐triacetyloxyanthracene 7a , and 1,8,9‐triacetyloxy‐10‐acetylanthracene 7b . 1,8‐Bis(trimethylacetyloxy)‐9(10H)‐anthracenone 6c was also obtained in high yield by using pivaloyl chloride during the mild acylation.     

Iterative algorithms for the multiple-sets split feasibility problem in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, for the multiple-sets split feasibility problem, that is to find a point closest to a family of closed convex subsets in one space such that its image under a linear bounded mapping will be closest to another family of closed convex subsets in the image space, we study several iterative methods for finding a solution, which solves a certain variational inequality. We show that particular cases of our algorithms are some improvements for existing ones in literature. We also give two numerical examples for illustrating our algorithms.
