溶剂效应对发光聚合物性能的影响

以共轭聚合物MEH—PPV和DD—PPV为研究对象，利用UV—Vis吸收光谱和荧光光谱，研究了它们在不同溶剂中及固体膜状态下的发光性质，探索了聚合物的微观结构与其发光性能之间的关系。结果表明。由于聚合物在固体膜状态下较溶液状态有紧密的排列，因此其UV—Vis吸收光谱和荧光光谱与溶液相比发生了较大的红移；相同主链的聚合物，侧链取代基的电负性减弱，可使UV—Vis吸收光谱和荧光光谱发生蓝移；在混合溶剂中，由于每种溶剂对聚合物的溶解能力不同，而使两种构象共存于溶液中，因此在不同配比的混合溶剂中，聚合物的吸收光谱发生相应的变化。

边界条件局部变化对二维发汗冷却的影响

本文通过对发汗冷却的多孔区域进行二维非热平衡数值模拟,研究了多孔介质区域进口处对流换热系数、冷却剂流量局部降低以及多孔介质受热表面热流密度局部增大对青铜、陶瓷两种不同多孔材料的温度场的影响。计算结果表明,冷却剂在进口处与多孔壁面对流换热系数的增大使多孔介质内部趋向于热平衡;热端壁面对流换热系数、冷却剂流量的局部变化对陶瓷多孔壁面在该局部区域的影响要大于青铜多孔壁面,但青铜多孔壁面受影响的区域更大,而冷却剂流量的局部降低对两种材料固体、流体间温差的影响程度基本一致。     

Experimental and numerical study of the effect of conjugate heat transfer on film cooling

Combined convection heat transfer and thermal conduction for film cooling of a flat plate with 45° ribs on one wall was investigated experimentally and numerically. The flat plate surface temperature was measured using thermochromic liquid crystals. The results show that the film cooling is the main mechanism for the local cooling with a very low thermal conductivity while the convection heat transfer of the coolant in the coolant channel is the dominant heat transfer mechanism for the high thermal conductivity plate, with both film cooling and convection heat transfer by the coolant being important with medium thermal conductivity walls.     

Magnetic calorimeter for registration of small energy release

A scheme of magnetic calorimeter for registration of rare events characterized by small energy release (cosmic rays, WIMPs, solitary X-ray quanta) is proposed. The calorimeter is brought to operation by adiabatic demagnetization, and its magnetic response is measured by a quantum interferometer (SQUID, A. Barone and G. Paterno, Physics and applications of Josephson Effect). Special consideration is given to the specific features of calorimeter operation in the ferromagnetic transition region. The trigger registration of ultrasmall energy release by a ferromagnetic system in the metastable state is described.     

Nano liquid-metal fluid as ultimate coolant

We proposed for the first time the concept of the nano liquid-metal fluid, aiming to establish an engineering route to make the highest conductive coolant. Using several widely accepted theoretical models for characterizing the nano fluid, the thermal conductivity enhancement of the liquid-metal fluid due to addition of more conductive nano particles was predicted. Further, the effects of particle size, cluster of nano particle, solid-like layer due to adsorption, volume fraction and particle types were evaluated. Having the highest conductivity, being electromagnetically drivable, the liquid metal with low melting point is expected to be an idealistic base fluid for making super conductive solution which may lead to the ultimate coolant in a wide variety of heat transfer enhancement area.     

A cold cesium atomic beam produced out of a pyramidal funnel

We have built an atomic funnel which produces a slow and cold cesium atomic beam. The atomic funnel is based on a pyramidal Magneto Optical Trap (MOT) with a small hole at its apex. Characterization of the funnel operation has been carried out by fluorescence emission and absorption spectroscopy, and optical time of flight (TOF) methods. The atomic beam has a longitudinal velocity in the range 8–12 m/s and a spread less than 1.5 m/s. The transverse temperature is close to the Doppler limit. Typically, an atom flux 4×10⁹ atoms/s is attained. These features, combined with the compactness and simplicity of the experimental arrangement, make this system an ideal source for experiments in atom lithography and atom optics.     

Fouling Mitigation in a Heat Exchanger: High Cycles of Concentration for a Cooling-Tower Application

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of a physical water treatment (PWT) technology on fouling mitigation in a simulated cooling tower operating at high cycles of concentration. Hard water was produced by evaporating pure water in a circulating open cooling tower, where dissolved calcium carbonate ions became concentrated with time. Heat transfer tests were conducted in a rectangular channel by varying the cycle of concentration (COC) from 5 to 10, and fouling resistances were measured over 270 hrs for each case with and without the PWT treatment. Another test was conducted with no blowdown case with and without the PWT treatment. The fouling resistance at 5 cycles with the PWT treatment was about 70% less than that in the case without the PWT treatment at the end of 270-hr tests. Even at 10 cycles, the PWT treatment reduced the fouling resistance by 60% from the value for the no treatment case. Thus, one can conclude that the PWT technology can help circulating cooling-tower water at relatively high COC for significant freshwater conservation, while keeping fouling resistances below industry standards.
