Flame propagation of aluminum–ice (ALICE) mixtures is studied theoretically and experimentally. Both a mono distribution of nano aluminum particles and a bimodal distribution of nano- and micron-sized aluminum particles are considered over a pressure range of 1–10 MPa. A multi-zone theoretical framework is established to predict the burning rate and temperature distribution by solving the energy equation in each zone and matching the temperature and heat flux at the interfacial boundaries. The burning rates are measured experimentally by burning aluminum–ice strands in a constant-volume vessel. For stoichiometric ALICE mixtures with 80 nm particles, the burning rate shows a pressure dependence of rb = aPn, with an exponent of 0.33. If a portion of 80 nm particles is replaced with 5 and 20 μm particles, the burning rate is not significantly affected for a loading density up to 15–25% and decreases significantly beyond this value. The flame thickness of a bimodal-particle mixture is greater than its counterpart of a mono-dispersed particle mixture. The theoretical and experimental results support the hypothesis that the combustion of aluminum–ice mixtures is controlled by diffusion processes across the oxide layers of particles. 相似文献
The heat transfer performance and entropy analysis are done in a compact loop heat pipe (CLHP) with Al2O3/water and Ag/water nanofluid. A compact loop heat pipe having a flat square evaporator with dimensions of 34 mm (L)?×?34 mm (W)?×?19 mm (H) has been fabricated and tested for the heat load ranging from 30 to 500 W. The experimental tests are conducted by keeping the CLHP in the vertical orientation with distilled water, silver (Ag)/water and aluminium oxide (Al2O3)/water nanofluid having low volume concentrations of (0.09% and 0.12%). The effect of wall and vapour temperature, evaporator and condenser heat transfer coefficient, thermal resistance on the applied heat loads is experimentally investigated and compared. The experimental results showed that the evaporator thermal resistance is reduced by 34.70% and 20.21%, respectively, for 0.12 vol% of Ag, Al2O3 nanoparticles when compared with that of the distilled water. For the same volume concentrations of Ag, Al2O3 nanoparticles, an enhancement of 34.52%, 23.7%, 39.27% and 30.8%, respectively, observed for the convective heat transfer coefficients at the evaporator and condenser. The entropy is also reduced by 19.08% and 11.58% when Ag and Al2O3 nanofluids are used as the operating fluid. From the experimental tests, it is found that the addition of small amount of Ag nanoparticles in the working fluid enhanced the operating range by 15% when compared with that of Al2O3/water nanofluid without the occurrence of any dry-out conditions.
Recently Georgi has discussed the possible existence of ‘Unparticles’ describable by operators having non-integral scaling dimensions. With the interaction of these with the Standard Model particles being constrained only by gauge and Lorentz symmetries, it affords a new source for lepton flavour violation. Current and future muon decay experiments are shown to be very sensitive to such scenarios. 相似文献
To circumvent costly fluorescent labeling, five nonconventional, multifunctional, intrinsically fluorescent aliphatic terpolymers ( 1 – 5 ) have been synthesized by C−C/C−N-coupled, solution polymerization of two non-emissive monomers with protrusions of fluorophore monomers generated in situ. These scalable terpolymers were suitable for sensing and high-performance exclusion of CuII, logic function, and bioimaging. The structures of the terpolymers, in situ attachment of fluorescent monomers, aggregation-induced enhanced emission, bioimaging ability, and super adsorption were investigated by 1H and 13C NMR, EPR, FTIR, X-ray photoelectron, UV/Vis, and atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, solid-state fluorescence, fluorescence imaging, and fluorescence lifetime measurements, as well as by isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies. The geometries and electronic structures of the fluorophores and the absorption and emission properties of the terpolymers were examined by DFT, time-dependent DFT, and natural transition orbital analyses. For 1 , 2 , and 5 , the limits of detection were determined to be 1.03×10−7, 1.65×10−7, and 1.77×10−7 m , respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacities are 1575.21, 1433.70, and 1472.21 mg g−1, respectively. 相似文献

Spectroscopic investigation of a dihydrogen-bonded complex between phenol and triethylgermanium hydride is reported here. Laser-induced fluorescence excitation, fluorescence-detected infrared, and IR-UV hole-burning spectroscopic studies were carried out in supersonic jet to investigate the complex formation between phenol and triethylgermanium hydride. The lowering of the O-H stretching frequency of the phenol moiety in the complex with triethylgermanium hydride clearly establishes the role of phenol as hydrogen bond donor. The experimental results together with the ab-initio calculations unambiguously confirm formation of an O-H...H-Ge dihydrogen-bonded complex between phenol and triethylgermanium hydride. 相似文献
A near‐IR spectral study on pure water and aqueous salt solutions is used to investigate stoichiometric concentrations of different types of hydrogen‐bonded water species in liquid water and in water comprising the hydration shell of salts. Analysis of the thermodynamics of hydrogen‐bond formation signifies that hydrogen‐bond making and breaking processes are dominated by enthalpy with non‐negligible heat capacity effects, as revealed by the temperature dependence of standard molar enthalpies of hydrogen‐bond formation and from analysis of the linear enthalpy–entropy compensation effects. A generalized method is proposed for the simultaneous calculation of the spectrum of water in the hydration shell and hydration number of solutes. Resolved spectra of water in the hydration shell of different salts clearly differentiate hydrogen bonding of water in the hydration shell around cations and anions. A comparison of resolved liquid water spectra and resolved hydration‐shell spectra of ions highlights that the ordering of absorption frequencies of different kinds of hydrogen‐bonded water species is also preserved in the bound state with significant changes in band position, band width, and band intensity because of the polarization of water molecules in the vicinity of ions. 相似文献
Nanocrystalline ZnO thin films have been deposited on rhenium and tungsten pointed and flat substrates by pulsed laser deposition
method. An emission current of 1 nA with an onset voltage of 120 V was observed repeatedly and maximum current density ∼1.3 A/cm2 and 9.3 mA/cm2 has been drawn from ZnO/Re and ZnO/W pointed emitters at an applied voltage of 12.8 and 14 kV, respectively. In case of planar
emitters (ZnO deposited on flat substrates), the onset field required to draw 1 nA emission current is observed to be 0.87
and 1.2 V/μm for ZnO/Re and ZnO/W planar emitters, respectively. The Fowler–Nordheim plots of both the emitters show nonlinear
behaviour, typical for a semiconducting field emitter. The field enhancement factor β is estimated to be ∼2.15×105 cm−1 and 2.16×105 cm−1 for pointed and 3.2×104 and 1.74×104 for planar ZnO/Re and ZnO/W emitters, respectively. The high value of β factor suggests that the emission is from the nanometric features of the emitter surface. The emission current–time plots
exhibit good stability of emission current over a period of more than three hours. The post field emission surface morphology
studies show no significant deterioration of the emitter surface indicating that the ZnO thin film has a very strong adherence
to both the substrates and exhibits a remarkable structural stability against high-field-induced mechanical stresses and ion
bombardment. The results reveal that PLD offers unprecedented advantages in fabricating the ZnO field emitters for practical
applications in field-emission-based electron sources. 相似文献
Within the νMSSM, a Minimal Supersymmetric neutrino See-saw Model, Lepton Flavour Violating Higgs couplings are strongly enhanced at large tanβ (30), which can lead to BR(H0/A0→τμ)O(10−4), for MH0/A0160 GeV. Enhancements on the production of Higgs bosons, through the gluon fusion mechanism, gg→H0/A0, and the associated production channel , whose rates grow with tanβ, as well as the mass degeneracy that occurs between the H0 and A0 states in this regime, also contribute to further the possibilities to detect a heavy Higgs signal into τμ pairs. We show that the separation of τμ Higgs events from the background at the upcoming CERN Large Hadron Collider could be done for Higgs masses up to about 600 GeV for 300 fb−1 of luminosity, for large tanβ values. However, even with as little as 10 fb−1 one can probe H0/A0 masses up to 400 GeV or so, if tanβ=60. Altogether, these processes then provide a new Higgs discovery mode as well as an independent test of flavour physics. 相似文献
