Two-dimensional problem of natural convection in a rectangular domain with local heating and heat-conducting boundaries of finite thickness

Time-dependent natural convective heat transfer in a closed rectangular domain with heat-conducting boundaries of finite thickness is investigated numerically in the case of local heating on the inner side of the vertical wall. Convection-radiation heat transfer takes place on one of the outer boundaries of the solution domain. The inhomogeneous temperature distribution in the gas cavity is clearly manifested when the Grashof number Gr > 10⁶. Circulation flows can be distinguished in various zones of the solution domain on the basis of the numerical investigations carried out. These flows are due to the effect of the heat-release source, the propagation of perturbations induced by elements of the rigid wall, and the dynamics of conductive heat transfer in the solid material. The scales of the effect of the Grashof number on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics are indicated.

Ethylene polymerization over supported catalysts [2,6‐bis(imino)pyridyl iron dichloride/magnesium dichloride] with AlR3 as an activator

Data on ethylene polymerization over supported LFeCl₂/MgCl₂ catalysts {L = 2,6‐bis[1‐(2,6‐dimethylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridyl} containing AlR₃ (R = Me, Et, i‐Bu, or n‐Oct) as an activator are presented. These catalysts are highly active (100–300 kg of polyethylene/g of Fe h bar of C₂H₄) and stable in ethylene polymerization at 70–80 °C. Data on the effects of the iron content, AlR₃ type, Al(i‐Bu)₃ concentration, and hydrogen presence on the catalyst activity are presented. The molecular structure of polyethylene produced with these catalysts (including the molecular masses, molecular mass distribution, branching, and number of C?C bonds) has been studied; data on the effects of AlR₃ and hydrogen on the molecular structure are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

KTB iron mineralogy at iridium deficient layers revealed by Mössbauer spectroscopy

Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of two sedimentary layers from Petriccio section in Gubbio formation are presented. It is found that these layers have almost the same iron phases nanophase hematite and phyllosilicate and with the same compositions as those in the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary (KTB) in Petriccio. The two layers also show enhancement in the siderophile elements such as Cr, Ni, Fe, Ca etc. to that found in the KTB layer. The two layers are well separated from the KTB layer, 128 and 149 cm below this layer, and show no enhancement of iridium. From the data it is suggested that the two layers also represent some kind of impact by extraterrestrial (ET) bolides.     

ILEEMS: Methodology and Applications to Iron Oxides

ILEEMS is the acronym for Integral Low-energy Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy. In this variant of Mössbauer spectroscopy the low-energy electrons, E < ～15 eV, emitted by the probe nuclei in the absorber are counted as a function of source velocity. As a consequence of their low energy, the detected electrons' origin lies within a very thin surface layer with thickness of a few nanometers and consequently, ILEEMS is a useful technique to examine surfaces of Fe-containing substances. In a first part of this paper the authors briefly describe the design of a home-made ILEEMS equipment allowing the temperature of the investigated sample to be varied between 77 K and room temperature. The second part of this contribution deals with a selection of results obtained from ILEEMS spectra for various Fe oxides. In particular, the following items are covered: (1) surface versus bulk Morin transition in small-particle and near-bulk hematite, α-Fe₂O₃; (2) bulk and thin-film magnetite, Fe₃O₄; (3) ferrihydrite, 5Fe₂O₃·9H₂0, goethite, α-FeOOH, and lepidocrocite, γ-FeOOH, all to some extent in relation to their morphology. Interesting and intriguing findings concerning the surface properties of these oxides were obtained and it is argued that the results encourage more systematic research in this and related fields using the surface-sensitive ILEEMS technique.     

CEMS of nitride coatings in agressive environments

The corrosion properties of single layered TiN and CrN films have been compared to bi-layered and multi-layered Ti/TiN films. XPS has showed that in humid SO₂ atmosphere the best corrosion properties have been achieved by a multi-layered Ti/TiN coating. Cyclic voltammetry in acetate buffer has been applied to measure the porousity and corrosion resistance of coatings. The best results have been achieved by multi-layered Ti/TiN and CrN films. Conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy has been used to study the changes in the interface Fe/TiN during thermal treatment in UHV. It has been shown that the amount of iron nitrides in the interface increases with increasing temperature.     

Techniques to investigate the characteristic of CR-39 detectors using Am---Be neutron source

Two techniques have been developed to investigate the characteristic of the sensitivity of CR-39 (polyallyldiglycol carbonate) track detector using Am---Be neutron source. The firstis to measure volume track density created by fast neutrons in CR-39 detectors. The second is to measure areal asymptotic track density on the surface of CR-39 sheets. Two types of CR-39—SY-2 CR-39 made in China and another made in USA were calibrated using the techniques. It shows that the two types of CR-39 detectors have nearly the same sensitivity to detect fast neutrons. The techniques developed in this work can be applied to calibration of other track detectors.
