Performance of a Single-Family Heat Pump at Different Working Conditions Using Small Quantity of Propane as Refrigerant

The performance of a domestic heat pump that uses a low quantity of propane as refrigerant has been experimentally investigated. The heat pump consists of two minichannel aluminium heat exchangers, a scroll compressor, and an electronic expansion valve. It was charged with the minimum amount of refrigerant propane required for the stable operation of the heat pump without permitting refrigerant vapor into the expansion valve at incoming heat source fluid temperature to the evaporator of +10°C. The inlet temperature of the heat source fluid passing through the evaporator was varied from +10°C to ?10°C while holding the condensing temperature constant at 35°C, 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C, respectively. The minimum refrigerant charges required at above-tested condensing temperatures were found to decrease when the condensing temperature increased and were recorded as 230 g, 224 g, 215 g, and 205 g, respectively. The results confirm that a heat pump with 5 kW capacity can be designed with less than 200 g charge of refrigerant propane in the system. Due to the high solubility of propane in compressor lubrication oil, the amount of refrigerant which may escape rapidly in case of accident or leakage is less than 150 g.     

Fast Neutron Sensitivity of TL Detectors using Proton Radiator Techniques

TL materials have a small intrinsic sensitivity for fast neutrons. In order to increase this sensitivity one uses hydrogen containing radiators giving recoil protons as a result of the neutron interaction. By combining the proton radiator technique with the use of TL detectors having various glow peaks with a different response to recoil protons an additional sensitivity yield can be reached. The paper deals with the calculation procedure for the (radiator) sensitivity component. For the LiF phosphors TLD-600 and TLD-700 calculated and experimentally determined fast neutron sensitivities are presented for the glow peaks V and VII. The results show that for accident dosimetry a sufficient agreement of the dedector response with the dose-to-fluence conversion factors is obtained.     

Fourier Transform 13C NMR Analysis of Some Methaqualone Metabolites

The natural abundance carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some methaqualone metabolites were recorded using the pulse fourier transform technique. The chemical shift of various carbon resonances have been assigned on the basis of the chemical shift theory, multiplicities observed in SFORD spectrum and comparison with the chemical shifts of the corresponding carbons of methaqualone.     

Assignments of Nonexchangeable Proton Resonances and the Solution Structures of d–TGGGT

In this paper, we report the studies of the solution structures of synthetic pentadeoxyribonucleotide d-TGGGT(NH₄ ⁺ salt) using 2D–NMR. The 1H–NMR experiments with different temperatures and concentrations reveal an equilibrium between single strand and aggregation. In the experimental condition(22°C, 13mmol/ L), the cross peaks in the COSY spectrum are mainly from single strand, and the spin systems of sugar resonances of this component can be assigned. In contrast, the cross peaks in the NOESY spectrum mainly come from aggregation and the sequential assignments of bases, sugar 1′, 2′ and 2″ protons can be carried out. From NOE connectivities, it is obvious that the aggregation adopts a right–handed helix conformation. It is suggested that the aggregation in our experiment corresponds to the tetramolecular complex.     

质子辐照空间级硅橡胶的正电子淹没寿命谱研究

 用正电子淹没寿命谱方法（PALS）研究了质子辐照对空间级硅橡胶KH-L-Y微观结构的影响。试验结果表明，PALS谱所揭示的最长寿命成分的t₃, I₃及自由体积分数Vf随辐照剂量的增加开始明显下降；而当辐照剂量大于10¹⁵cm^-2后，随剂量的增加平缓上升。辐照剂量小于10¹⁵cm^-2时，质子辐照使硅橡胶自由体积减小，分子链间堆砌紧密；辐照剂量大于10¹⁵cm^-2时，质子辐照使硅橡胶自由体积增大。交联密度及DMA测试结果同样表明，质子辐照在剂量较小时硅橡胶的交联密度及玻璃化转变温度增加，辐照以交联效应为主；而剂量较大时辐照降解占优势。     

5 MeV Proton irradiation effects on 200 GHz silicon–germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors

The total dose effects of 5?MeV proton and Co-60 gamma irradiation in the dose range from 1 to 100?Mrad on advanced 200?GHz Silicon–Germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBTs) are investigated. The SRIM simulation study was conducted to understand the energy loss of 5?MeV proton ions in SiGe HBT structure. Pre- and post-radiation DC figure of merits such as forward- and inverse-mode Gummel characteristics, excess base current, DC current gain and output characteristics were used to quantify the radiation tolerance of the devices. The results show that the proton creates a significant amount of damages in the surface and bulk of the transistor when compared with gamma irradiation. The SiGe HBTs shows robust ionizing radiation tolerance even up to a total dose of 100?Mrad for both radiations.     

Gated-controlled electron pumping in connected quantum rings

We study the electronic transport across connected quantum rings attached to leads and subjected to time-harmonic side-gate voltages. Using the Floquet formalism, we calculate the net pumped current generated and controlled by the side-gate voltage. The control of the current is achieved by varying the phase shift between the two side-gate voltages as well as the Fermi energy. In particular, the maximum current is reached when the side-gate voltages are in quadrature. This new design based on connected quantum rings controlled without magnetic fields can be easily integrated in standard electronic devices.
