Environmentally benign nanomixing by sonication in high-pressure carbon dioxide

Due to the increased use of nanocomposites, mixing at nanoscale has become important. Current mixing techniques can be classified into: (a) dry mixing (mechanical mixing), (b) wet mixing, and (c) simultaneous production of mixed nanoparticles (when possible). Dry mixing is in general not effective in achieving desired mixing at nanoscale, whereas wet mixing suffers from different disadvantages like nanomaterial of interest should be insoluble, has to wet the liquid, and involves additional steps of filtration and drying. This paper examines the use of pressurized carbon dioxide having high density and low viscosity to replace the liquids (e.g., n-hexane, toluene). Ultrasound is applied to the suspension of nanopowders in gaseous and supercritical carbon dioxide where high impact collisions during sonication help mixing and the final mixture is obtained by simple depressurization. The method is tested for binary mixture of alumina/silica, silica/titania, MWNT (multiwalled carbon nanotubes)/silica, and MWNT/titania. The effects of sonication intensity and pressure on the degree of mixing are studied. Comparative study is also done with liquid n-hexane as a mixing media. Quantitative characterization (e.g., mean composition standard deviation, intensity of segregation) of mixing of alumina/silica and silica/titania is done with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and that of MWNT/silica and MWNT/titania is done using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and day-light illumination spectrophotometry. Results show that mixing in carbon dioxide at higher ultrasound amplitudes is as good as in liquid n-hexane, and the final mixed product does not contain any residual media as in the case of liquid n-hexane.     

Numerical simulation of Rhonegletscher from 1874 to 2100

Due to climatic change, many Alpine glaciers have significantly retreated during the last century. In this study we perform the numerical simulation of the temporal and spatial change of Rhonegletscher, Swiss Alps, from 1874 to 2007, and from 2007 to 2100.     

Group and phase velocities in the free-surface visco-potential flow: New kind of boundary layer induced instability

Water wave propagation can be attenuated by various physical mechanisms. One of the main sources of wave energy dissipation lies in boundary layers. The present work is entirely devoted to thorough analysis of the dispersion relation of the novel visco-potential formulation. Namely, in this study we relax all assumptions of the weak dependence of the wave frequency on time. As a result, we have to deal with complex integro-differential equations that describe transient behaviour of the phase and group velocities. Using numerical computations, we show several snapshots of these important quantities at different times as functions of the wave number. Good qualitative agreement with previous study [D. Dutykh, Eur. J. Mech. B/Fluids 28 (2009) 430] is obtained. Thus, we validate in some sense approximations made anteriorly. There is an unexpected conclusion of this study. According to our computations, the bottom boundary layer creates disintegrating modes in the group velocity. In the same time, the imaginary part of the phase velocity remains negative for all times. This result can be interpreted as a new kind of instability which is induced by the bottom boundary layer effect.     

Perfect-Fluid Sources for the Levi-Civita Metric II

A regular static interior solution of Einstein’s field equations representing a perfect fluid cylinder of finite radius is presented. The solution is matched to the Levi-Civita vacuum solution at a boundary where the pressure vanishes. The density and pressure are finite and positive inside the cylinder for a specific range of the mass parameter. The solution could thus represent a reasonable source for the Levi-Civita metric.     

Weak temperature gradient effect on the stability of the circular Couette flow

We have investigated the influence of a weak radial temperature gradient in a wide gap and large aspect ratio Couette-Taylor system. The inner cylinder is rotating and can be heated or cooled, the outer cylinder is at rest and immersed in a large thermal bath. We found that a radial temperature gradient destabilizes the Couette flow leading to a pattern of traveling helicoidal vortices occurring only near the bottom of the system. The size of the pattern increases as the rotation frequency of the cylinder is increased. We have characterized the spatiotemporal properties of the pattern and we have shown that it behaves as a wall mode found in the simulation of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with homogeneous boundary conditions.     

Wavy film flow down a vertical plate: Comparisons between the results of integral approaches and full-scale computations

This paper is devoted to a theoretical analysis of nonlinear two-dimensional waves using the Navier-Stokes equations in their full statement. Steady-state travelling wave regimes have been found and an analysis of their linear stability has been carried out. It is shown that the flow regimes obtained using the Navier-Stokes equations are qualitatively different from the solutions of Shkadov’s integral approach starting from some values of the Kapitza number. It is also found that the wave regimes of the Navier-Stokes equations have an internal vortex at moderate Reynolds numbers. The results obtained using “the regularized integral model” are in excellent agreement with the Navier-Stokes calculations for Re/Ka ≤2. Unlike the solutions found using an integral approach, it is shown that only a few types of nonlinear waves exist when the full Navier-Stokes equations are considered.
