A Hybrid Metaheuristic Based on Neurocomputing for Analysis of Unipolar Electrohydrodynamic Pump Flow

A unipolar electrohydrodynamic (UP-EHD) pump flow is studied with known electric potential at the emitter and zero electric potential at the collector. The model is designed for electric potential, charge density, and electric field. The dimensionless parameters, namely the electrical source number (Es), the electrical Reynolds number (ReE), and electrical slip number (Esl), are considered with wide ranges of variation to analyze the UP-EHD pump flow. To interpret the pump flow of the UP-EHD model, a hybrid metaheuristic solver is designed, consisting of the recently developed technique sine–cosine algorithm (SCA) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) under the influence of an artificial neural network. The method is abbreviated as ANN-SCA-SQP. The superiority of the technique is shown by comparing the solution with reference solutions. For a large data set, the technique is executed for one hundred independent experiments. The performance is evaluated through performance operators and convergence plots.

Theory of forward glory scattering for chemical reactions: New derivation of a uniform semiclassical formula for the scattering amplitude

The theory of forward glory scattering is investigated for a state-to-state chemical reaction whose scattering amplitude can be written as a Legendre partial wave series. Legendre series occur in the exact quantum theory of reactive scattering when the initial and final helicity quantum numbers are zero, as well as in many approximate theories of chemical reactions. The starting point for the semiclassical theory is a two-dimensional integral representation for the scattering amplitude. A uniform semiclassical approximation is derived that is valid for angles both on, and off, the axial caustic associated with the glory. The derivation is the first application to a concrete problem in molecular physics of a method outlined by J. N. L. Connor and H. R. Mayne in 1979 for the uniform semiclassical evaluation of multidimensional integrals. The approach exploits the theory of singularities of differential mappings. The key step in the derivation is an exact one-to-one change of variables in the neighbourhood of the stationary phase points that locally reduce the two-dimensional phase of the integrand to a non-polynomial canonical form. The derivation complements a different semiclassical glory analysis reported in a companion paper.     

Structures and stabilities of the donor–acceptor complexes HXPY (X=Al,B; Y=H,F, OH)

The optimized geometries, complexation energies, etc. of HXPY (X?=?Al, B; Y?=?H, F, OH) donor–acceptor complexes have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), MP2/6-311+G(d,p) and/or CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) levels. The results show that HBPY (Y?=?H, F, OH) is more stable than the corresponding HAlPY (Y?=?H, F, OH), F (or OH) substitution on phosphorus results in decreasing complex stability, and the stronger the electron-attracting nature of the substitution atom, the more stable the complex. Moreover, the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the formation reaction of these donor–acceptor complexes were also examined within the temperature range 200–800?K using the general statistical thermodynamics and Eyring transition state theory with Wigner correction. It is concluded that the formation of HBPY is thermodynamically favoured over that of the corresponding HAlPY, especially at low temperature, and is kinetically favoured over that of the relevant HAlPY (Y?=?H, F, OH), especially at high temperature.     

Electrostatic potential in cylindrical dielectric media using the image charge method

We derive a simple analytical expression for the electric potential produced by a point charge in a cylindrical pore with relative permittivity different from that of the surrounding medium. The interface between the pore and the surrounding media may contain electric charge or be electrically neutral. The expression reduces to the known solutions when the surrounding dielectric medium is identical to the pore or an electric conductor. We discuss the convergence of the series expansion and numerically evaluate the electrostatic potential inside the cylindrical pore. The calculated potential shows the effect of the dielectric permittivity difference of the media. The results demonstrate that the expression can be implemented in a numerical dynamic simulation of charged systems in cylindrical geometry. We also give an expression for the case when the source charge is in the medium outside the cylinder.     

Analytical representation of half-width for molecular ro-vibrational lines in the case of dipole–dipole and dipole–quadrupole interactions

The analytical formula for half-width of molecular ro-vibrational lines is obtained for the case of dipole–dipole and dipole–quadrupole interactions. This formula depends on the variable parameters, which have to be determined by fitting to experimental half-widths or to half-widths calculated by semi-classical methods. The application of the analytical formula to the H₂O–H₂O, NH₃–NH₃, DCl–HCl and CO–H₂O systems is discussed.     

Potential energy surfaces in algebraic molecular models using coherent states

The potential energy surfaces provided by the coherent states formalism for the case of interacting one-dimensional oscillators is investigated. The case of two interacting oscillators modelled with Morse potentials are considered in detail. First the traditional treatment is presented in order to identify the need to establish a new transformation between the parameters and the classical variables that allow the full Hamiltonian to be recovered. To this end the connection between the su(2) algebraic model and the usual treatment in configuration space was taken into account. It is shown that the coherent state approach when applied to recover the potential energy surface (PES) from a polyad preserving Hamiltonian is viable only in systems with a local mode behaviour. For molecules with a normal mode behaviour the approach is still valid, but the polyad must be broken in order to recover the PES. Our approach is evaluated through the calculation of the force constants for H₂O and CO₂, representative examples of local and normal behaviours.     

Surface aided replica exchange algorithm applied to the prewetting transition

A novel algorithm, termed surface aided replica exchange (SARE), was introduced in which the fluid–surface interaction was varied in order to generate different replicas in a particular ensemble. Exchange between replicas was allowed with a probability of acceptance obtained by imposing detailed balance. The method was implemented in a modified isothermal-isobaric ensemble that permitted precise characterization of the prewetting line of a simple adsorbed fluid. The prewetting line for each surface was characterized by computing the adsorption of the fluid as a function of pressure, and the wetting temperature estimated for each surface.
