ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF STABILITY PROBLEM OF PLANE POISEUILLE FLOW FOR HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBER

A study of the stabifity of plane Poiseuille flow at higher Reynolds number is made. Within a "triple-deck" structural framework, the qualitative behaviour of the eigenvalue of Orr-Sommerfeld equation is analytically obtained. The corresponding eigenfunction is formulated approximately.

Asymptotic analysis of strongly nonlinear oscillators

In this paper, an asymptotic method is presented for the analysis of a class of strongly nonlinear autonomous oscillators. The equations governing the amplitude and phase factor are obtained, and the amplitude and stability of the corresponding limit cycles are determined.     

The general variational principle of the cantilever beam of circular cross section including transverse shear deformation

In this paper we derive the approximate theory on the straight cantilever beam of a same circular cross section including transverse shear deformation, using the general variational principle with two class variates, and we present the expression with two class variates containing two general displacement, of general complementary energy, corresponding with the theory.     

Simulation of Nanoparticle Production in Premixed Aerosol Flow Reactors by Interfacing Fluid Mechanics and Particle Dynamics

The interaction of fluid mechanics and particle dynamics at the very early stages of flame synthesis largely affects the characteristics of the product powder. Detailed simulations provide a better understanding of these processes, which take place in a few milliseconds, and offer the possibility to influence the product characteristics by intelligent selection of the process parameters. The present paper reports on the simulation of titania powder formation by TiCl₄ oxidation in an aerosol flow reactor. A commercially available fluid mechanics code is used for the detailed calculation of the fluid flow and the chemical reaction at non-isothermal conditions. This code is then interfaced with a model for aggregate particle dynamics neglecting the spread of the particle size distribution. The simulation shows the onset of the particle formation in the reactor and calculates the dynamic evolution of the aggregate particle size, number of primary particles per aggregate and the specific surface area throughout the reactor. The presented, newly developed calculation technique allows for the first time the simulation of particle formation processes under the authentic, complex conditions as found in actual aerosol reactors.     

FTIR study of hydrogen bonding of stearic acid with ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide,and acetonitrile in supercritical CO_2

FTIR spectroscopy was used to study the hydrogen bonding of stearic acid with ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO),and acetonitrile in supercritical CO_2 at 318.15 K, and 12.5 and 16.5 MPa. The concentrations of the cosolvents range from 0—0.6 mol·L~(-1). The area percentage of absorption bands for hydrogen-bonded and nonhydrogen-bonded species was obtained from the IR spectra. The acid and the cosolvents can form hydrogen bond even when their concentrations are very low. At fixed solute concentration, the extent of hydrogenbonding increases with cosolvent concentration. At higher ethanol concentrations, it seems that one stearic acid molecule can hydrogen bond with more than one ethanol molecules simultaneously. It is seen that the strength of the hydrogen bond formed by the acid and the cosolvents is in the order: DMSO>ethanol>acetonitrile.

Molecular Fluids at High Dimensionality

We extend the analysis of orientational first-order phase transitions in anisotropic molecular fluids at high spatial dimensionality to hard-disk fluids, and then to mixture of hard disks and hard spheres. The effect of hard-sphere admixture depends sensitively on the relative sizes of the two geometrical objects, and large spheres completely quench the disk transition. An introductory study is made of spatially ordered states.
