非平衡态/不可逆过程的热力学理论(Ⅱ)

<正> 7 解的唯一性 如果不考虑非平衡态和不可逆性,则等能密度理论中的基本命题与经典弹性理论中的在形式上完全相同。无论整个系统的动能是大还是小,图6中(sumform)_o上的面力T_i和在(sumform)_c和在的位移u_i将始终在空间坐标系x_i和时刻i下给出。与一般力学中相同,必须知道有关位移u_i及其时间导数的初始条件。它们的影响则可通过(38)和(39)向等能面转化,从而得到     

The performance of free rolling rigid and flexible wheels on sand

Experimental results are presented for a towed 6–16 smooth tyre and the same size rigid steel wheel in three types of sands covering a wide range of particle size distribution, two dry and one submerged sands. Their performance was compared at high and low tyre inflation pressures, two vertical loads and a wide range of soil compaction for each sand. The sand performance prediction number, Ns, proposed by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (W.E.S.) was then applied to compare with the measured results for the tyre. It was found that in all the three sands the coefficient of rolling resistance was substantially underestimated by the W.E.S. method. However Ns = 10–20 was found to be very important overall criterion for towed tyres on sand. The correlation between the skid and the fractional sinkage of the rigid wheel and the tyre was also examined.     

Direct tyrosine oxidation using the MLCT excited states of rhenium polypyridyl complexes

Rhenium(I) polypyridyl complexes have been designed for the intramolecular photogeneration of tyrosyl radical. Tyrosine (Y) and phenylalanine (F) have each been separately appended to a conventional Re(I)(bpy)(CO)(3)CN framework via an amide linkage to the bipyridine (bpy) ligand. Comparative time-resolved emission quenching and transient absorption spectra of Re(bpy-Y)(CO)(3)CN and Re(bpy-F)(CO)(3)CN show that Y is oxidized only upon its deprotonation at pH 12. In an effort to redirect electron transport so that it is more compatible with intramolecular Y oxidation, polypyridyl Re(I) complexes have been prepared with the amide bond functionality located on a pendant phosphine ligand. A [Re(phen)(PP-Bn)(CO)(2)](PF(6)) (PP = bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene) complex has been synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Electrochemistry and phosphorescence measurements of this complex indicate a modest excited-state potential for tyrosine oxidation, similar to that for the (bpy)Re(I)(CO)(3)CN framework. The excited-state oxidation potential can be increased by introducing a monodentate phosphine to the Re(I)(NN)(CO)(3)(+) framework (NN = polypyridyl). In this case, Y is oxidized at all pHs when appended to the triphenylphosphine (P) of [Re(phen)(P-Y)(CO(3))](PF(6)). Analysis of the pH dependence of the rate constant for tyrosyl radical generation is consistent with a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) quenching mechanism.
