Comparison of multicomponent fuel droplet vaporization experiments in forced convection with the Sirignano model

The vaporization of multicomponent fuel droplets was studied experimentally in a heated flow and the results were compared to the model proposed by Abramzon and Sirignano. The droplet was suspended on a permanent holder which was set up in a thermal wind-tunnel. This wind-tunnel was fitted with a video recording system and an infra-red camera. The period during which the droplet was suspended on the holder before the opening of the hot air flow damper was recorded. This first sequence corresponds to the droplet vaporization in natural convection, whose initial experiment conditions, especially diameter, temperature, composition of the droplet, are well known. Then the damper was turn on, and the sequence of forced convection begun. The initial diameter of the droplet was recorded by the video system. The other initial conditions of this second sequence cannot be determined experimentally. The distribution of temperature in the droplet and the surface temperature, the mass fraction distribution in the droplet and the surface mass fraction were unknown. These unknown parameters were determined by coupling our experiment with a model using “the film concept” in natural convection. Experimental results were compared with the calculations and found satisfactory, in natural convection as well as in forced convection initiated by this method. The method was tested in the case of a fuel mixture droplets (heptane–decane) for different initial concentrations and variable durations of the sequence in natural convection.

Intensified and controllable vaporization of phase-changeable nanodroplets induced by simultaneous exposure of laser and ultrasound

Phase-changeable contrast agents have been proposed as a next-generation ultrasound contrast agent over conventional microbubbles given its stability, longer circulation time and ability to extravasate. Safe vaporization of nanodroplets (NDs) plays an essential role in the practical translation of ND applications in industry and medical therapy. In particular, the exposure parameters for initializing phase change as well as the site of phase change are concerned to be controlled. Compared to the traditional optical vaporization or acoustic droplet vaporization, this study exhibited the potential of using simultaneous, single burst laser and ultrasound incidence as a means of activating phase change of NDs to generate cavitation nuclei with reduced fluence and sound pressure. A theoretical model considering the laser heating, vapor cavity nucleation and growth was established, where qualitative agreement with experiment findings were found in terms of the trend of combined exposure parameters in order to achieve the same level of vaporization outcome. The results indicate that using single burst laser pulse and 10-cycle ultrasound might be sufficient to lower the exposure levels under FDA limit for laser skin exposure and ultrasound imaging. The combination of laser and ultrasound also provides temporal and spatial control of ND vaporization and cavitation nucleation without altering the sound field, which is beneficial for further safe and effective applications of phase-changeable NDs in medical, environmental, food processing and other industrial areas.     

Unraveling the electronic structure of transition metal dimers using resonant four‐wave mixing

The potential of two‐color resonant and degenerate four‐wave mixing spectroscopy for investigations of the complex spectra of transition metal dimers is explored. Two‐color resonant and degenerate four‐wave mixing spectroscopy scans of the well‐known A‐X and B‐X transitions in Cu₂ are reported and compared with previous experimental data obtained from standard single‐resonance techniques. The selectivity of the method is shown to enable the measurement of isotopologue pure spectra without the need for isotopically enriched metal targets. Specific subsets of the rovibronic structure are separated in a congested spectral region of overlapping transitions. The sensitivity of the method compares satisfactorily with linear spectroscopic methods such as laser‐induced fluorescence and cavity ring‐down. A new laser vaporization source for the production of transition metal dimers and clusters has been constructed. The new design aims for a high number density and maximum possible shot‐to‐shot stability. The possibilities of further applications of non‐linear four‐wave mixing spectroscopy to Cu₂ and other transition metal dimers are discussed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Explosive vaporization in microenclosures

The explosive vaporization of a liquid above planar microheaters induces a fast increase of pressure that is exploited in many thermally driven actuators in MEMS components such as ink jet printer cartridges, pumps, valves and optical switches. Some of these components need to enclose the working fluid as it is the case of valves in which the heated liquid is separated from the flow that it regulates by a flexible membrane. To achieve a better insight into the thermodynamic processes involved, the present work investigates experimentally an enclosed microsystem designed and fabricated for this purpose, composed of a small liquid volume (8 nL) heated by a electric pulse for 2 μs supplied to a planar microfabricated heater. During the heating, the temperature-induced change in resistance can be determined by imposing a defined current and measuring the voltage drop over the heater. While the chip is based on a silicon substrate with integrated platinum heaters and sensors, the structure enclosing the fluid (cavity and fluidic access to it) is made of a silicone elastomer, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). This transparent material is widely used in microfluidics and allows for flexible and transparent walls that can be deflected by increasing the pressure inside the cavity. To seal the system the inlet and the outlet were closed by blocking them with a metallic stab. In the present work we visualize vaporization of isopropanol in contact with a suddenly heated planar resistor for two different cavity heights, 150 μm and 16 μm. The rate of temperature rise of the thin liquid layer in contact with the heater is of the order of 10⁷ K s⁻¹ for a pulse duration of 2 μs. We compare bubble growth and collapse for the open and closed systems. Compared to the open system, the bubble growth in the closed system is considerably damped.     

Kinetic Approach to the Interpretation of Analyte Losses During the Preatomization Thermal Treatment in Electrothermal Atomization Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A method for evaluating E_a(loss), the apparent activation energy of the analyte loss process during the high-temperature thermal pretreatment stage in electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry (ETA-AAS) has been developed. The method is based on extracting information from the declining portion of thermal pretreatment curves (in this case presented as absorbance vs pyrolysis time at various fixed temperatures). Five volatile analytes (As, Pb, Sb, Se, and Sn) have been studied in the presence of tungsten chemical modifier (20 μg of W in H₂O₂).

The data on E_a (loss) have been utilized together with those obtained from treating the atomization peaks E_a and with literature data on known values of bond energies and enthalpies of certain chemical reactions. Possible mechanisms of analyte losses and atomization are discussed.

Determination of beryllium by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry using tungsten surfaces and zirconium modifier

Electrothermal atomization of beryllium from graphite and tungsten surfaces was compared with and without the use of various chemical modifiers. Tungsten proved to be the best substrate, giving the more sensitive integrated atomic absorption signals of beryllium. Tungsten platform atomization with zirconium as a chemical modifier was used for the determination of beryllium in several NIST SRM certified reference samples, with good agreement obtained between the results found and the certified values. The precision of the measurements (at 10 μg L⁻¹), the limit of detection (3σ), and the characteristic mass of beryllium were 2.50%, 0.009 μg L⁻¹ and 0.42 pg, respectively.
