In this paper, a research aimed at quantifying mass and momentum transfer in the near-nozzle field of diesel sprays injected
into stagnant ambient air is reported. The study combines X-ray measurements for two different nozzles and axial positions,
which provide mass distributions in the spray, with a theoretical model based on momentum flux conservation, which was previously
validated. This investigation has allowed the validation of Gaussian profiles for local fuel concentration and velocity near
the nozzle exit, as well as the determination of Schmidt number at realistic diesel spray conditions. This information could
be very useful for those who are interested in spray modeling, especially at high-pressure injection conditions. 相似文献
The highly diverse chemical structures of lipids make their analysis directly from biological tissue sections extremely challenging. Here, we report the in situ mapping and identification of lipids in a freshwater crustacean Gammarus fossarum using matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) in combination with an additional separation dimension using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). The high‐resolution trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) allowed efficient separation of isobaric/isomeric lipids showing distinct spatial distributions. The structures of the lipids were further characterized by MS/MS analysis. It is demonstrated that MALDI MSI with mobility separation is a powerful tool for distinguishing and localizing isobaric/isomeric lipids. 相似文献
This research investigated the bioactive potential of jaboticaba peel extract (JPE) and proposed an innovative material for food packaging based on carrageenan films incorporated with JPE. The extract was obtained through microwave assisted extraction (MAE) according to central composite rotational design and the optimized conditions showed a combined antimicrobial and antioxidant actions when the extraction process is accomplished at 80 °C and 1 min. The carrageenan film incorporated with JPE was manageable, homogeneous and the presence of JPE into film increased the thickness and improved the light barrier of the film. The results of solubility and mechanical properties did not show significant differences. The benefit of using MAE to improve the recovery of bioactive compounds was demonstrated and the carrageenan film with JPE showed a great strategy to add additives into food packaging. 相似文献
The cyclobutane ring displays a puckered conformation with the amide group in a perpendicular conformation. An intramolecular
hydrogen bond held fixed the orientation of the 2-hydroxy-2-propyl moiety, causing the magnetic non equivalence of methyl
groups observed in the room temperature1H-NMR spectrum. Crystal packing reveals the formation of bi-molecular layers parallel to thebc plane. The compound crystallizes in the space groupP21,/c witha=13.351(3),b=7.569(2),c=13.271(3)Å and β=92.03(3)o.

Biodiesel is considered an alternative energy because it is produced from fats and vegetable oils by means of transesterification. Furthermore, it consists of fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAS) which have a great influence on biodiesel fuel properties and in the storage lifetime of biodiesel itself. The biodiesel storage stability is directly related to the oxidative stability parameter (Induction Time – IT) which is determined by means of the Rancimat® method. This method uses condutimetric monitoring and induces the degradation of FAAS by heating the sample at a constant temperature. The European Committee for Standardization established a standard (EN 14214) to determine the oxidative stability of biodiesel, which requires it to reach a minimum induction period of 6 h as tested by Rancimat® method at 110 °C. In this research, we aimed at developing a fast and simple alternative method to determine the induction time (IT) based on the FAAS ultrasonic-accelerated oxidation. The sonodegradation of biodiesel samples was induced by means of an ultrasonic homogenizer fitted with an immersible horn at 480 Watts of power and 20 duty cycles. The UV–Vis spectrometry was used to monitor the FAAS sonodegradation by measuring the absorbance at 270 nm every 2. Biodiesel samples from different feedstock were studied in this work. In all cases, IT was established as the inflection point of the absorbance versus time curve. The induction time values of all biodiesel samples determined using the proposed method was in accordance with those measured through the Rancimat® reference method by showing a R2 = 0.998. 相似文献
Angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy have been used to characterise epitaxially ordered graphene grown on copper foil by low‐pressure chemical vapour deposition. A short vacuum anneal to 200 °C allows observation of ordered low energy electron diffraction patterns. High quality Dirac cones are measured in ARPES with the Dirac point at the Fermi level (undoped graphene). Annealing above 300 °C produces n‐type doping in the graphene with up to 350 meV shift in Fermi level, and opens a band gap of around 100 meV.
We consider two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with a saddle-center loop, namely an orbit homoclinic to a saddle-center equilibrium (related to pairs of pure real, ±ν, and pure imaginary, ±ωi, eigenvalues). We study the topology of the sets of orbits that have the saddle-center loop as their α and ω limit set. A saddle-center loop, as a periodic orbit, is a closed loop in phase space and the above sets are analogous to the unstable and stable manifolds, respectively, of a hyperbolic periodic orbit. 相似文献
We present here Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation results of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K on a crude model of activated carbon. The material is modeled as slit-like pores of different widths, with smooth surfaces. The individual adsorption isotherms serve as the basis to check the success and limitations of the assumptions made when using the BET model to characterize adsorbent materials, in particular to calculate the monolayer capacity and the C parameter. As done in our previous work with several experimental adsorption isotherms, different linearizations of the BET equation are used. The aim of this work is to quantify, using statistical mechanics tools, the changes in the C factor with surface coverage, showing that C is an intrinsically energetic meaningful quantity. The amount of molecules adsorbed at each pressure is calculated in the first and subsequent layers. We also keep track of the adsorbent-adsorbate and adsorbate-adsorbate energy along the simulations. The C factor is obtained following two different routes: as directly derived from the BET equation, once the monolayer capacity is known, and from the heat of adsorption obtained directly from the simulations. Results from simulations confirm the changes in the C values with surface coverage. In addition, molecular simulations provide independent and consistent ways of calculating the monolayer capacity. 相似文献
