This paper presents an extension of the analysis shown in Part I to a polydisperse particle-fluid system. The density autocorrelation is shown to be a function of two quantities, a generalized Overlap function for which an analytical expression is derived, and the radial distribution function (RDF). In Fourier transform space, the density spectrum again appears to be a strong function of the mean particle size, and secondarily the mean particle separation distance. One unusual result is previously observed oscillations in the density spectrum of a monodisperse system of particles are severely dampened or even eliminated in the polydisperse case, depending on the width of the particle size distribution. Apparently contributions from different particle correlations interfere with each other, thereby reducing the coherent oscillations seen in the monodisperse particle-fluid system. Furthermore at large wavenumbers, the spectrum decays with a −2 power-law, independent of the shape of the particle size distribution. This behavior can be traced to the Overlap function which controls the behavior of the spectrum beyond the first peak. Remarkably the −2 power-law spectrum is determined by the shape of the particles (i.e. spheres) rather than their spatial distribution (RDF).
The effect of an asymptotically large pressure gradient on the correlation of several important higher-order moments is revisited for the polydisperse system. The relatively simple relationships developed for the monodisperse system are lost in the polydisperse case because particles of different sizes will be influenced differently by an applied pressure gradient. The result is moments that are of different order in velocity can no longer be related to each other (as they were in the monodisperse system), even in this idealized flow. A more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon can only be achieved through direct numerical simulation or experiment. 相似文献
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
A new approach for characterizing high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducers is presented. The technique is based upon the acoustic streaming field generated by absorption of the HIFU beam in a liquid medium. The streaming field is quantified using digital particle image velocimetry, and a numerical algorithm is employed to compute the acoustic intensity field giving rise to the observed streaming field. The method as presented here is applicable to moderate intensity regimes, above the intensities which may be damaging to conventional hydrophones, but below the levels where nonlinear propagation effects are appreciable. Intensity fields and acoustic powers predicted using the streaming method were found to agree within 10% with measurements obtained using hydrophones and radiation force balances. Besides acoustic intensity fields, the streaming technique may be used to determine other important HIFU parameters, such as beam tilt angle or absorption of the propagation medium. 相似文献
Chemical etching rates for two different chalcogenide glass compositions, As40S60 and As24S38Se38, were studied using sodium hydroxide based etchant solutions. Etching was performed using a variation of standard photolithographic masking and wet-etching techniques. Variations in etch rate with NaOH concentration and glass composition were observed. The depth of etch was characterized using an optical profilometer. Etch rate differences as large as three orders of magnitude between these two glasses were observed at low NaOH concentration (0.053 M). We present a single variable etch rate curve of etch depth per time (nm/s) versus NaOH overall solution concentration (in M) for these two different chalcogenide glasses. This technology shows promise for fabricating photonic structures and has potential applications in fabricating novel photonic bandgap structures that will function in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) regime. 相似文献
The high cost of the bridging liquid subdues the implementation and commercialization of oil agglomeration process. To overcome this problem, waste oils from different sectors were used in this present study. The performance of the process was assessed based on the responses like ash rejection and organic matter recovery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the usage of waste oils from different sectors and to optimize and analyze the behavioral pattern showcased by different variables (pulp density, oil dosage, agglomeration time and oil type) using response surface methodology (Box-Behnken design). Experimental investigation shows that the optimum pulp density, oil dosage, agglomeration time and oil type condition obtained as 3%, 15%, 15?min and waste engine oil, respectively. At optimum condition, the % ash rejection and % organic matter recovery obtained as 63.94% and 81.8%, respectively. 相似文献
Diluted Sn doped TiO2 nanocrystals (Sn/Ti ratio: x ≤ 1.37 %) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using pure reagents without any surfactant and dispersant material. The XRD of these samples showed an anatase phase, anatase and rutile mixed phases, and a rutile phase of TiO2 and SnO2 with the increase of Sn dopant concentrations. 119Sn Mössbauer spectra gave the broad peaks, which were decomposed into doublets and sextets because almost all these samples showed magnetic hysteresis even at room temperature. The titanium oxides doped with x ≤ 0.12 % showed the relatively large magnetic hysteresis and high photocatalytic activity. Mössbauer spectra of samples doped with x > 0.3 % were analyzed by one doublet and two sextets although the samples showed weak ferromagnetism. Three kinds of Sn species may be distinguished as Sn 4+ substituted TiO2 and two different magnetic arrangements of Sn doped TiO2: one with more oxygen defects and other at the interface of TiO2 and precipitated SnO2 containing Ti atoms. The correlation between various amounts of Sn sites and photocatalytic activity and/ or magnetic property was discussed. 相似文献
Molecular probes 6 and 7, incorporating N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 and aryl/heteroaryl oxadiazole have been designed to function as the new intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) probes. Photophysical properties have been studied under acidic condition as well as in the presence of selected metal ions, Ca2+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, and Li+. The changes in the ICT character of the probes, following the addition of trifluoroacetic acid, were interpreted in terms of site and degree of protonations. Based on the cation affinity, the ICT bands in both UV-vis and emission spectra experienced varying degrees of blue shifts due to removal of the aza-crown ether nitrogen from conjugation. The cation-induced spectral shifts and the stability constants revealed binding strength in the order Ca2+>Ba2+?Li+>Na+>K+>Mg2+. Competitive experiments performed in a matrix of ions also indicated superior interaction of 6 and 7 with Ca2+. The excited state decay profiles remained largely unperturbed in the presence of metal ions. The studied probes displayed positive solvatochromism and the Stokes shifts and excited state lifetimes increased with increasing solvent polarity. These findings can be rationalized by invoking highly polar nature of the emittive states. The chemoionophores 6 and 7 constitute potentially interesting Ca2+ sensitive probes due to their relatively high binding interaction for Ca2+ (log Ks=3.55-3.10) vis-a-vis that of biologically interfering Mg2+ (log Ks=1.67-1.30). 相似文献

This paper comprehensively reviews the BIPV system for EV charging, focusing on its technology, application, and performance. The review identifies the gaps in the existing literature, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of BIPV systems in the context of EV charging. A detailed review of BIPV technology and its application in EV charging is presented, covering aspects such as the generation of solar cell technology, BIPV system installation, design options and influencing factors. Furthermore, the review examines the performance of BIPV systems for EV charging, focusing on energy, economic, and environmental parameters and their comparison with previous studies. Additionally, the paper explores current trends in energy management for BIPV and EV charging, highlighting the need for effective integration and recommending strategies to optimize energy utilization. Combining BIPV with EV charging provides a promising approach to power EV chargers, enhances building energy efficiency, optimizes the building space, reduces energy losses, and decreases grid dependence. Utilizing BIPV-generated electricity for EV charging provides electricity and fuel savings, offers financial incentives, and increases the market value of the building infrastructure. It significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with grid and vehicle emissions. It creates a closed-loop circular economic system where energy is produced, consumed, and stored within the building. The paper underscores the importance of effective integration between Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, emphasizing the necessity of innovative grid technologies, energy storage solutions, and demand-response energy management strategies to overcome diverse challenges. Overall, the study contributes to the knowledge of BIPV systems for EV charging by presenting practical energy management, effectiveness and sustainability implications.
