Acoustic cavitation series: part five rectified diffusion

A general review is given of the mechanism of rectified diffusion. The equations that describe the threshold acoustic pressure amplitude as well as the growth rate are presented. Simplified versions of the complicated threshold equation are also obtained for two regions that are of particular interest. Graphical representations of the equations for a variety of physical parameters are given as well as a comparison between the available measurements and the theoretical predictions. Finally, some suggested areas of future research in this area are presented.     

微通道局部加热气泡动力学实验研究

实验研究了在水平放置的低高宽比聚二甲基硅氧烷(polydimethylsiloxane,PDMS)微槽道(300μm×60μm)内的局部位置给予恒定热流密度条件下气泡的核化沸腾、生长和运动情况,实验中的工质采用FC-72,并用真空泵抽至室温下的饱和气压。研究发现微通道内起始沸腾需要比常规槽道更大的壁面过热度,液体流量和加热速率对气泡的生长和运动有很大的影响。

A novel evacuation passageway formed by a breathing air supply zone combined with upward ventilation

With the development of transportation, the tunnel has become one of the important facilities of railway, highway and subway transportation. However, fire hazards occurring inside the tunnel may incur huge numbers of casualties and property losses. In this paper, a breathing air supply zone combined with an upward ventilation assisted tunnel evacuation system (BTES) is introduced. It can be used to create a safe, smoke-free evacuation passageway out of the tunnel. The BTES is optimized to achieve high-performance. The impacts of heat release rates, fire source locations and fire detection times are also discussed.     

A case study of speculative financial bubbles in the South African stock market 2003-2006

We tested 45 indices and common stocks in the South African stock market for the possible existence of a bubble over the period from January 2003 to May 2006. A bubble is defined by a faster-than-exponential acceleration with significant log-periodic oscillations. These two traits are analyzed using different methods. Sensitivity tests show that the estimated parameters are robust. With the insight of 6 additional months of data since the analysis was performed, we observe that many of the stocks on the South African market experienced an abrupt drop at mid-June 2006, which is compatible with the predicted t_c for several of the stocks, but not all. This suggests that the mini-crash that occurred around mid-June of 2006 was only a partial correction, which has resumed into a renewed bubbly acceleration bound to end some time in 2007, similarly to what happened in the US market from October 1997 to August 1998.

Air-related mechanisms of noise generation by solid rubber tyres with cavities

There are four main air-related noise generation mechanisms at the tyre/road interface, which were all categorised more than 20 years ago. The first one is the so-called ‘air pumping’ mechanism. Two other air-related phenomena that occur when there are air movements near the contact patch of the tyre are ‘air resonant radiation’ and ‘pipe resonances’ which appear at the footprint of the tyre. In addition to these, there is a forth effect, which is mentioned in the literature, that is occurring due to turbulence effects of the air surrounding the spinning tyre. There has been less focus on the air-related mechanisms than on other types of tyre noise generation mechanisms. This paper attempts to add some detail to current understanding of the air-related noise generation at the tyre road interface and gives some further information on how to identify the differences due to these mechanisms. Specifically in the present paper, a solid rubber tyre running on a vehicle chassis dynamometer is used to study the first two mechanisms. This is done with emphasis on the time history of the recorded signal and not on the frequency spectrum, as is more commonly used. A comparison with existing theoretical models of these mechanisms reveals some of the strength and weaknesses of the current understanding of these phenomena.     

空气中痕量铀的现场光度法测定

作为一种天然放射性金属元素,铀及其化合物可以地气为分散系,以气溶胶形式稳定存在并随空气迁移。气相中铀可经多种途径对人体造成放射性危害,而其浓度变化与该区域核能开发与利用有关。因此,对空气中铀的快速现场检测具有现实意义。采用普通气泵对低品位铀矿石上方的空气进行采样,并以2.0 mol·L-1硝酸溶液对气体进行吸收,向溶液中添加固体试剂包,对溶液中微量铀进行显色后以手持式光度计进行现场光度分析。结果表明：对于普通低品位铀矿石样品,空气中铀含量可用本方法检出,该方法多次测定的RSD为1.72%,其结果与ICP-MS分析结果一致。将该方法用于区分铀矿石和其他矿石,具有成本低廉,操作方便,结果准确可靠等优点。     

超声珩磨区实际气体的单空泡动力学分析

为进一步揭示功率超声振动的珩磨机理,以珩磨液为工作介质,研究了功率超声珩磨环境中实际气体的单空泡动力学特性。基于Rayleigh-Plesset方程,应用实际气体绝热方程和范德瓦尔斯方程对其进行了修正,建立了功率超声珩磨环境中实际气体的单空泡动力学方程以及实际气体单空泡共振频率方程。并运用4~5阶RungeKutta法模拟了不同超声条件(声压幅值、空泡初始半径、振动频率)对泡壁的运动以及运动速度的影响。结果表明:较高的声压幅值,空泡理论共振半径R'0与初始半径R0的比值为102数量级以及较低的超声频率有利于超声珩磨磨削区空化效应的发生。
