Structure of propagating edge diffusion flames in hydrocarbon fuel jets

Direct numerical simulations with a C₃-chemistry model have been performed to investigate the transient behavior and internal structure of flames propagating in an axisymmetric fuel jet of methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, or propane in normal earth gravity (1g) and zero gravity (0g). The fuel issued from a 3-mm-i.d. tube into quasi-quiescent air for a fixed mixing time of 0.3 s before it was ignited along the centerline where the fuel–air mixture was at stoichiometry. The edge of the flame formed a vigorously burning peak reactivity spot, i.e., reaction kernel, and propagated through a flammable mixture layer, leaving behind a trailing diffusion flame. The reaction kernel broadened laterally across the flammable mixture layer and possessed characteristics of premixed flames in the direction of propagation and unique flame structure in the transverse direction. The reaction kernel grew wings on both fuel and air sides to form a triple-flame-like structure, particularly for ethylene and acetylene, whereas for alkanes, the fuel-rich wing tended to merge with the main diffusion flame zone, particularly methane. The topology of edge diffusion flames depend on the properties of fuels, particularly the rich flammability limit, and the mechanistic oxidation pathways. The transit velocity of edge diffusion flames, determined from a time series of calculated temperature field, equaled to the measured laminar flame speed of the stoichiometric fuel–air mixtures, available in the literature, independent of the gravity level.     

Exponentially Tapered Josephson Junction: Some Analytic Results

We investigate the dynamical properties of an exponentially tapered Josephson junction using a simple one-dimensional model described by a perturbed (nearly integrable) sine-Gordon equation. An approximate analytic solution is based on the linearization about a rapidly oscillating background. We compare the analytic results with direct numerical simulations for the magnetic field patterns in the junction. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 2, pp. 348–353, August, 2005

Gel formation with multiple interunit junctions. II—mixture of different functional molecules

Number‐ and weight‐average molecular weight of condensation polymers formed in the mixture of primary molecules carrying different species of functional groups A and B are derived by the cascade theory. These functional groups are allowed to form multiple junctions of arbitrary multiplicity k. From the weight average, the gel point condition is found to be given by 1 ? (f_w ? 1)(μ_A,A ? 1) ? (g_w ? 1)(μ _B,B ? 1) + (f_w ? 1)(g_w ? 1)D_μ = 0, where f_w and g_w are average functionality of the primary molecules, μ _αβ the average multiplicity of β groups in the junctions where a path of an α‐group enters, and D_μ ≡ (μ_A,A ? 1)(μ _B,B ? 1) ? μ _A,Bμ _B,A the multiplicity determinant. Possible applications to thermoreversible gelation are suggested. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 2413–2421, 2003

Magneto-transport properties of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/SrTiO3/La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 tunnel junction

Hole-doped rare-earth manganite La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃ and the electron-doped manganite La_0.7Ce_0.3MnO₃ both show a metal-insulator transition around 250 K associated with a ferromagnetic transition and colossal magnetoresistance. In an earlier publication we have reported the rectifying characteristic of La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃/SrTiO₃/La_0.7Ce_0.3MnO₃ tunnel junction at room temperature, showing that it is possible to fabricate a diode out of the polaronic insulator regime of doped manganites. Here we report the magneto-transport properties of such a tunnel junction above and below the metal-insulator transition. We show, from the large positive magnetoresistance of the tunnel junction at low temperature, that La_0.7Ce_0.3MnO₃ could be a minority spin carrier ferromagnet. The implication of this observation is discussed.     

Ag/InP Schottky结热退化机理的研究

Ag/InP Schottky结是制作TE场助光电阴极的关键,本文利用Auger分析技术,详细地研究了热处理对Ag/InPSchottky结界面特性的影响。实验结果表明高温长时间热处理会导致严重界面相互扩散,同时使Schottky结的势垒高度降低,理想因子增大,泡利负电性理论很好地解释了扩散效应。势垒高度的降低及理想因子的增大也是由界面互扩散造成的,这种扩散导致界面特性由Schotthy特性向欧姆性质转化。为防止界面互扩散及Schottky结特性的退化,可选用负电性小的金属制作Schottky结,并在工艺上尽量减少热处理的温度和时间。

Chemometrics for comprehensive analysis of nucleobases,nucleosides, and nucleotides in Siraitiae Fructus by hydrophilic interaction ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple‐quadrupole linear ion‐trap tandem mass spectrometry

A rapid and sensitive hydrophilic interaction ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple‐quadrupole linear ion‐trap tandem mass spectrometry method was validated for the simultaneous determination of 20 nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides (within 3.5 min), and then was employed to test the functional food of Luo‐Han‐Guo samples. The analysis showed that the Luo‐Han‐Guo was rich in guanosine and uridine, but contained trace levels of the other target compounds. Chemometrics methods were employed to identify 40 batches of Luo‐Han‐Guo samples from different cultivated forms, regions and varieties. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis were used to classify Luo‐Han‐Guo samples based on the level of the 20 target compounds, and the supervised learning method of counter propagation artificial neural network was utilized to further separate clusters and validate the established model. As a result, the samples could be clustered into three primary groups, in which correlation with cultivated varieties was observed. The present strategy could be applied to the investigation of other edible plants containing nucleobases, nucleosides, or nucleotides.
