Effects of CO2 activation on porous structures of coconut shell-based activated carbons

In this paper, textural characterization of an activated carbon derived from carbonized coconut shell char obtained at carbonization temperature of 600 °C for 2 h by CO₂ activation was investigated. The effects of activation temperature, activation time and flow rate of CO₂ on the BET surface area, total volume, micropore volume and yield of activated carbons prepared were evaluated systematically. The results showed that: (i) enhancing activation temperature was favorable to the formation of pores, widening of pores and an increase in mesopores; (ii) increasing activation time was favorable to the formation of micropores and mesopores, and longer activation time would result in collapsing of pores; (iii) increasing flow rate of CO₂ was favorable to the reactions of all active sites and formation of pores, further increasing flow rate of CO₂ would lead carbon to burn out and was unfavorable to the formation of pores. The degree of surface roughness of activated carbon prepared was measured by the fractal dimension which was calculated by FHH (Frenkel-Halsey-Hill) theory. The fractal dimensions of activated carbons prepared were greater than 2.6, indicating the activated carbon samples prepared had very irregular structures, and agreed well with those of average micropore size.     

Effects of time delay on the statistical fluctuations for a bistable system driven by cross-correlated noises

We study the effects of time delay on the normalized correlation function C(s) and the associated relaxation time T _c for a bistable system with correlations between multiplicative and additive white noises under the condition of small time delay. Using the projection operator method, the expressions of T _c and C(s) are obtained. Based on numerical computations, it is found that the delay time τ slows down the rate of fluctuation decay of dynamical variable for the presence of positive feedback intensity (∈ > 0), while speeds up the rate of fluctuation decay of dynamical variable for the presence of negative feedback intensity (∈ < 0). The effects of the delay time τ on the T _c and C(s) are entirely opposite for ∈ 〉 0 and ∈ < 0.

Existence of multiple periodic solutions for delay Lotka–Volterra competition patch systems with harvesting

In this paper, we establish some new and interesting sufficient conditions on the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for a delay Lotka–Volterra competition patch system with harvesting. Our method is based on Mawhin’s coincidence degree and some novel techniques for defining the operator N(u,λ)$N(u\text{,}\lambda )$ and obtaining a priori bounds.     

Exact periodic wave solutions for the hKdV equation

In this paper, by using the Hirota bilinear method and the Jacobian theta functions for the higher order KdV equation, the existence of periodic wave solutions with one and two period are obtained. The asymptotic properties of the periodic wave solutions are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the well-known soliton solutions can be reduced from the periodic wave solutions.     

硼酸盐玻璃中Eu掺杂对Ag纳米颗粒的析出机制及其发光性质研究

采用高温熔融法制备了Eu-Ag共掺的硼酸盐玻璃,利用吸收光谱和发射光谱等研究了玻璃中网络形成体B₂O₃含量变化和Eu离子共掺对于Ag在基质中赋存状态的影响。在Eu-Ag共掺玻璃的吸收光谱中发现,随着B₂O₃含量的增加,Ag纳米颗粒在4 10 nm附近的宽带吸收强度逐渐下降;玻璃在340 nm光源激发下,位于350～600 nm的蓝绿光区出现一个Ag分子团簇的宽带发光,且其发光强度随B₂O₃含量的增加逐渐增强。在Eu或Ag单掺的玻璃中可分别观测到微弱的Eu3+或Ag分子团簇的本征发射,而Eu-Ag共掺样品中Eu3+和Ag分子团簇的发光都得到了显著的增强。并且Eu离子浓度的增加促进了Ag纳米颗粒在410 nm附近的宽带吸收。对Eu离子的添加促进Ag纳米颗粒析出的机理进行了讨论。同时,由于Eu3+的5D₀→7F_J的电子跃迁发射为橙红光,Ag纳米团簇可发射蓝绿光甚至黄光,因此通过玻璃结构的调控和Eu离子掺杂浓度的调节可以实现玻璃的白光发射,这有望成为潜在的白光LED用玻璃照明材料。     

Applicability of moisture transfer parameters estimated by correlation between Biot number and lag factor (Bi–G correlation) for convective drying of eggplant slices

Accurate values of the moisture transfer parameters are necessary to study heat and mass transfer, particularly for the efficient design of both process and equipment. However, these parameters obtained from empirical equations or analytical solutions of Fick’s second diffusion law are generally different from each other. In order to make simulation more accurate and closer to the fact, it is necessary to perform theoretical analysis and test of available empirical equations in literatures. In this work, such efforts were made: firstly, moisture transfer parameters were evaluated by Bi–G correlation; then, the obtained parameters were substituted to Fick’s second law of diffusion model, and the model was numerically calculated with convective boundary condition. The results show that although the exponential equation fits the experimental data well, the data predicted from Fick’s second law deviate far from the experimental data. This implicates that Bi–G correlation need be further improved to obtain better accurate moisture transfer parameters.     

Interference of Quantum Chaotic Systems in Phase Space

We investigate the interference of a kicked harmonic oscillator in phase space. With the measure of interference defined in Lee and Jeong [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 (2011) 220401], we show that interference increases more rapidly in the chaotic regime than in the regular regime, and that the sub-Planck structure is of importance for the decoherence time in the chaotic regime. We also find that interference plays an important role in energy transport between the kicking fields and the kicked harmonic oscillator.
