Immobilization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida antarctic</Emphasis> Lipase B on Functionalized Ionic Liquid Modified MWNTs

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were modified by imidazole-based ionic liquids with different alkyl groups. The modified support samples were characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectra, thermogravimetric analyses, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The samples were used to immobilize Candida antarctic lipase (CALB) and the influence of alkyl chain length of ionic liquids on enzymatic properties was investigated by the hydrolysis reaction of triacetin. The results revealed that functionalized ionic liquids modification did not destroy the structure of MWNTs. Compared with the immobilized CALB on MWNTs, the immobilized CALB on novel carriers all exhibited higher activity, thermal stability, and reusability. Especially, the activity of MWNTs-IL (8C)-CALB improved 15.23-folds than MWNTs-CALB, meanwhile, after incubation at 70 °C for 20 min, residual enzyme activity of MWNTs-IL (8C)-CALB was 46% of the initial activity, while MWNTs-CALB already lost all activity. Besides, MWNTs-IL (8C)-CALB retained 64.5% of its initial activity after 4 cycles, while MWNTs-CALB retained only 2.12%.

VERIFICATION OF SMOM AND QMOM POPULATION BALANCE MODELING IN CFD CODE USING ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR BATCH PARTICULATE PROCESSES

For many processes of industrial significance, due to the strong coupling between particle interactions and fluid dynamics, the population balance must be solved as part of a computational fluid dynamics （CFD） simulation. In this work, a CFD based population balance model is tested using a batch crystallization reactor. In this CFD model, the population balance is solved by the standard method of moments （SMOM） and the quadrature method of moments （QMOM）. The results of these simulations are compared to analytical solutions for the population balance in a batch tank where 1） nucleation, 2） growth, 3） aggregation, and 4） breakage are taking place separately. The results of these comparisons show that the first 6 moments of the population balance are accurately predicted for nucleation, growth, aggregation and breakage at all times.     

柔性扑翼的气动特性研究

以往扑翼的气动力计算研究都很少考虑扑翼的柔性,而在鸟的扑翼动作中,在外加气动力和鸟自身的扑动力作用下,扑翼的柔性变形相当大。本文在原有匀速刚性模型的基础上,提出考虑了扑翼扑动速率变化和形状变化的扑翼分析模型,使之更接近鸟翼柔性扑动真实情况。通过计算分析气动特性发现,控制适当的话,柔性变形能大大改善扑翼的气动性能。本文通过模拟鸟扑翼的柔性运动,计算了时柔性扑翼气动力以及平均升力系数和平均推力系数随着扑动角、倾斜角等参数变化的情况,从而从气动的角度解释了为什么鸟在不同的飞行阶段扑翼规律各不相同,并为柔性扑翼飞行器的设计提供了理论依据。

Experimental and theoretical study of the nonlinear response of agiant magnetostrictive rod

In this paper, a magnetomechanical coupling constitutive relation of the giant magnetostrictive material was investigated experimentally and theoretically. A grain-oriented magnetostrictive rod of iron and rare earth was tested under a combined magnetomechanical loading. Two types of experimental curves were obtained, i.e., the magnetostrictive curve of the extensional strain vs the magnetic field, and the curve of the magnetic polarization intensity vs the pre-stress. A new theoretical constitutive model, based on the density of domain switching, is developed. Comparison of the theoretical predictions with the experimental results indicates that this model can capture the main characteristics of the magnetoelastic coupling deformation of a giant magnetostrictive rod.

Approximate solutions for the shear center of plates of variable thickness

Summary In a plate-theoretical formulation of the shear center problem, the relevant boundary-value problem is for a cantilevered rectangular plate of variable thickness with two free opposite edges and with the edge opposite to the clamped end subject to a rigid vertical displacement and free of bending moment. For plates with Poisson's ratiov equal to zero, there is an exact elementary solution for this boundary-value problem from which the exact location of the shear center can be calculated. When Poisson's ratio is not zero, an approximate elementary solution may be obtained within the framework of a Saint-Venant flexure solution for plates by satisfying the displacement boundary conditions at the clamped edge approximately. Different forms of this approximation are discussed in [7], some with rather marked Poisson's ratio effects. Among these, the minimum complementary energy approach of [6] gives a shear center location identical to the exact solution forv=O.A generalized beam theory developed in [6] is implemented here to delineate the effect ofv without altering the edge conditions by ad hoc approximations. The results show that the Poisson's ratio effect is rather moderate and the shear center location is nearly the same as that for zero Poisson's ratio. A finite element solution for the plate theory boundary-value problem confirms this finding.The generalized beam equations are also used to study the effect of the aspect ratio of the plate and orthotropy on the location of the shear center.

Näherungslösungen für den Schubmittelpunkt von Platten veränderlicher Dicke

Übersicht In der plattentheoretischen Formulierung des Schubmittelpunktproblems [6] betrifft die relevante Randwertaufgabe eine rechteckige Kragplatte mit veränderlicher Dicke in Querrichtung, mit einer Lastverteilung, welche eine gleichförmige Durchbiegung am belasteten Rand erzeugt.Die vorliegende Arbeit implementiert eine Näherungslösung dieses Problems in der Form einer verallgemeinerten Balkentheorie zwölfter Ordnung, welche Verwölbung sowie auch anticlastische Krümmung berücksichtigt [6]. Das Ziel ist, den quantitativen Einfluß der Poissonschen Zahl und auch den der Orthotropie zu bestimmen.Die Resultate zeigen, daß der Einfluß der Poissonschen Zahl, welcher in der bekannten näherungsweisen Bestimmung mit Hilfe des Variationsprinzips für Spannungen vollkommen verschwindet, in der Tat sehr gering ist, insbesondere im Vergleich mit den Folgen einer Anwendung der St.-Venantschen Biegetheorire zusammen mit einer klassischen Stipulierung bezüglich des Verschiebungsfeldes am Schwerpunkt der Querschnittsfläche. Darüber hinausgehend wird gezeigt, daß die numerischen Werte nur unwesentlich von Unterschieden zwischen Isotropie und Orthotropie beeinflußt sind.Die obigen Resultate werden durch die Ableitung und Anwendung einer Balkentheorie sechzehnter Ordnung und durch Rechnungen mit Hilfe von Finiten Elementen bestätigt.

     

Weak Interactions Involving Fluorine in Suppramolecular Assemblies of Cu(Ⅱ)Complexes

Syntheses and X‐ray structural characterizations of two new Cu(II) complexes Cu(tfbz)₂(Htfbz)₂(phen) ( 1 ) (Htfbz=2,4,5‐trifluorobenzoic acid, phen=1,10‐phenanthroline) and [Cu(pfbz)₂(phen)]₂(Hpfbz)₂ ( 2 ) (Hpfbz=pentafluorobenzoic acid) are reported. The first complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the crystal cell parameters a=1.9903(4) nm, b=1.3688(3) nm, c=1.3623(3) nm, β=97.90(3)°, V=3.6762(13) nm³ and Z=4. The second complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P‐1 with the crystal cell parameters a=1.7965(4) Å, b=1.9236(2) Å, c=2.0916(2) Å, α=110.156(2) °, β=105.040(3) °, γ=98.123(3) °, V=6.3372(17) nm³ and Z=4. The crystallographic analyses revealed that F···H–C hydrogen bonds in both complexes lead to formation of infinite three‐dimensional supramolecular networks. A large number of F···F interactions in complex 2 ensure the stability of intricate crystal structure.
