Three-phase displacement experiments for a water-benzyl alcohol-decane system are simulated. Literature experimental three-phase relative permeabilities for the system are used to describe the relative permeabilities in the three-phase region for different three-phase relative permeability models. Saturation trajectories and elliptical regions are mapped in the three-phase region. Simulations are performed to model displacement experiments including breakthrough and the formation of multiple shocks. The model can be used to predict the results for other displacements. In an experiment where significant gravity segregation is present, the displacement is more accurately modeled by assuming a uniform initial condition than by using the actual vertical saturation and assuming no cross flow. It is shown how different residual saturation values can be measured in the laboratory depending on the initial saturation conditions in the core. The experimental residual saturations can be significantly different than the ‘theoretical’ or model values. 相似文献
We prove that the non-squeezing theorem of Gromov holds for symplectomorphisms on an infinite-dimensional symplectic Hilbert space, under the assumption that the image of the ball is convex. The proof is based on the construction by duality methods of a symplectic capacity for bounded convex neighbourhoods of the origin. We also discuss the role of infinite-dimensional non-squeezing results in the study of Hamiltonian PDEs and show some examples of symplectomorphisms on infinite-dimensional spaces exhibiting behaviours which would be impossible in finite dimensions. 相似文献
We have studied the photochemical quantum yields of singlet oxygen production (using the RNO bleaching method) and superoxide production (using the EPR-spin trapping method and the SOD-inhibitable ferricytochrome c reduction spectral assay) of kynurenine (Ky), N-formylkynurenine (NFK), 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK), kynurenic acid (KUA), and the flavins, riboflavin (RF) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Such a study of the photodynamic efficiencies is important since these compounds appear endogenously in the eye. The singlet oxygen quantum yields of the flavins and KUA are high, while Ky and 3HK generate no detectable amounts of singlet oxygen. The superoxide quantum yields of the sensitizers are low compared to their singlet oxygen, and Ky and 3HK produce no detectable amounts of superoxide. The production of the superoxide radical is enhanced in the presence of electron donor molecules such as EDTA and NADH. These results suggest that the production of oxyradicals in the lens may be modulated by the presence of endogenous electron donor molecules such as the coenzymes NADH and NADPH, which are present in significant amounts in some lenses. They also suggest that Ky and 3HK, which are known to be present in aged lenses, might play a protective rather than a deleterious role in the eye. 相似文献
In a Rabi oscillation experiment with a superconducting qubit we show that a visibility in the qubit excited state population of more than 95% can be attained. We perform a dispersive measurement of the qubit state by coupling the qubit non-resonantly to a transmission line resonator and probing the resonator transmission spectrum. The measurement process is well characterized and quantitatively understood. In a measurement of Ramsey fringes, the qubit coherence time is larger than 500 ns. 相似文献
We report high-rate, computer-controlled femtosecond pulse shaping by use of an electro-optical gallium arsenide optical phased-array modulator with 2304 controlled waveguides. It provides fast modulation speed of both spectral phases and amplitudes. Limited by the driving electronics of our current setup, we were able to update a pulse shape in approximately 30 ns. This technique paves the way toward individual shaping of every single pulse of typical femtosecond mode-locked oscillators. 相似文献
1,3-Dichlorotetrafluoroacetone has been photolysed at a wavelength of 313nm in the presence of fluorinated aliphatic acids, such as trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, heptafluorobutyric acid and chlorodifluoroacetic acid. From the rates of formation of chlorodifluoromethane and 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane, the rate constants and energies of activation for the hydrogen abstraction reaction were calculated. No products were observed which could arise from the decomposition of the alkyl carboxyl radical produced during the hydrogen abstraction reaction相似文献
