Computational and experimental studies of convective fluid motion and heat transfer in inclined non-rectangular enclosures

Computational and experimental studies of the fluid motion and heat transfer characteristics of an incompressible fluid contained in a non-rectangular inclined enclosure are described in this paper. The enclosure has two 45° inclined side walls one of which was heated and the other cooled. The remaining two sides of the enclosure are parallel and insulated. The enclosure was rotated about the long axis in steps of 30° through 360°. Experiments were performed to study the effects of Rayleigh number, aspect ratios and orientation of the enclosure. The computational method uses a mesh transformation technique coupled with the introduction of ‘false transient’ parameters for the steady state solution of the problem. The experimental method uses smoke for flow visualization studies. With aspect ratios of 3 and 6, the results indicate that the heat transfer and fluid motion within the enclosure is a strong function of both the Rayleigh number and the cavity orientation angle. A minimum and a maximum mean Nusselt number occurred as the angle of inclination was increased from 0 to 360°. A transition in the mode of circulation occurred at the angle corresponding to the minimum or maximum rate of heat transfer. Stream lines and isotherms are presented for the most representative cases     

Endor of a dislocation center in a deformed silicon

We present the first ENDOR measurements on dislocations in silicon, which measurements directly show the extended nature of the electron wave function on the dislocation.     

ON THE PROBLEM OF THE DUAL CHARGE (MAGNETIC MONOPOLE) OF NON-ABELLAN GROUPS (Ⅱ)

The method of relating the gauge potential to the connection on a spherical surface developed in a previous paper is generalized to the discussion of the potential of an SU(2) magnetic monopole with O(5) symmetry. Expressions for the potential of the monopole with double string singularity or single string singularity are obtained. Finally, by a combined coordinate-gauge transformation, we obtain a string free expression for an SU(2) magnetic monopole with O(5) symmetry.     

Dependence on substrate bias of the effective mass and dingle temperature of electrons in the surface inversion layer of silicon

The amplitude of the quantum oscillations in the magnetoconductance of a silicon inversion layer has been studied as a function of gate voltage V_g, for different values of the temperature T, applied magnetic field strength H and substrate bias V_s. By analyzing the amplitude of the oscillations at fixed V_g and V_g as a function of T and H, the dependence of the cyclotron effective mass m¹ and the Dingle temperature T_D on V_g and V_s can be obtained. The dependence of m¹ on V_g for different values of V_s is compared with the prediction of theory.     

A photoemission and thermal desorption study of carbon monoxide and oxygen adsorbed on platinum

We have studied the changes in the photoelectron spectra of platinum (for photon energies of 21.2 and ? 10.2 eV), in conjunction with thermal desorption experiments, for coverages of carbon monoxide and oxygen of up to ~0.25 monolayer (saturation coverage at room temperature). Based on a comparison of the photoemission and thermal desorption results, we suggest that the less tightly bound of the two adsorption states observed in the thermal desorption data is due to adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. We further suggest that a relatively delocalized chemisorption bond plays an important role in this interaction.     

Charged particle evaporation from compound nuclei formed by bombardment of58Ni with 70 MeV16O ions part I

Highly excited compound nuclei of⁷⁴Kr have been formed by bombardment of⁵⁸Ni with 70 MeV¹⁶O ions. The spectra of protons and -particles resulting from the decay of the compound nucleus (and several daughter nuclei) have been recorded at laboratory angles from 30° to 155°. The CM differential cross sections corresponding to definite energies for the particles emitted were calculated from the data. The charged particle spectra and the angular distributions show that evaporation processes are dominant. A study of spectral shapes and angular distributions has to some extent made it possible to distinguish primary particles from those evaporated after the emission of one or several particles.On leave fromFaculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czechoslovakia.     

Graded manifold theory as the geometry of supersymmetry

Building upon Kostant's graded manifold theory, we present a new way of introducing spinors into the spacetime manifold, by expanding the algebra of functions on spacetime to a graded algebra. The elements of differential geometry are generalized to accomodate the expanded algebra of functions and in this enriched geometry we find the elements of supersymmetry and of supergravity theory. The geometrical role of the supergravity fields is discussed and a derivation of their transformation rules is given.Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos.
