Investigation of thermal evolution of nanodomain structures in nonlinear barium sodium niobate crystals

By the 90°elastic light scattering investigation and far field observation in the range of 20-800℃,the relation between behavior of light scattering anomalies and evolution of nanodomain structures in lattice of barium sodium niobate(Ba2NaNb5O15,BSN)crystal was clarified.The correlation between anomalies on the temperature curves of the elastic light scattering intensity and temperature transformations of nanodomains was studied by X-ray and electron microscope methods.Phase transition near 500℃ and movement in field of scattering light could be explained by appearance of a new incommensurate phase.     

Microchemical and Microstructural Characterization of the Early Stages of the Discontinuous Precipitation Reaction in Al-22 at.% Zn Alloy

High-spatial energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis has been applied in order to reveal changes of chemical composition accompanying the formation of the lamellar structure due to discontinuous precipitation reaction in Al-22at.% Zn alloy. The line-scans performed in the reaction zone have shown that the region left behind the grain boundary (GB) after its displacement from the original position is solute depleted, similar to the de-alloying case of diffusion induced grain boundary migration. This enables the allotriomorphs to be transformed into solute-rich lamellae and development of lamellar + structure, especially if the GB moves in the direction perpendicular to its original location. If the direction of movement is strongly inclined to the original location of the GB, the growth usually stops after a short period of time, mainly due to formation of the precipitation free zone (PFZ) ahead of the reaction front. The detailed EDX examination revealed that there is a sharp change in solute content at the lamella/PFZ and PFZ/matrix alloy interfaces. The solute content in the PFZ is lower than in the neighbouring lamella and it corresponds to the equilibrium state. Therefore, one can suppose that the PFZ is formed due to backward movement of the reaction front in order to consume the excess of solute atoms stored in the lamellae in comparison with the equilibrium state. As soon as the equilibrium state is attained within the PFZ, the growth of the colony is completed.     

Diffusion Along Migrating Grain Boundaries

The paper summarizes recent experiments on diffusion at migrating grain boundaries (GBs) occurring during discontinuous reactions, like discontinuous precipitation (DP) and diffusion induced grain boundary migration. Analytical electron microscopy was used for measurements of the solute concentration across individual solute-depleted lamellae. These data combined with information on the growth velocity and the thickness of an individual lamella allowed the determination of the local values of the diffusivities of the moving reaction front of the DP cell in Al–Zn, Ni–Sn, Cu–In and Co–Al alloys. The obtained diffusivities and activation energies are very similar to the relevant parameters of stationary GBs. This allows us to conclude that there is no significant difference in the rates of diffusion along migrating and stationary GBs in the systems investigated. It is therefore believed that the diffusivity values of the moving reaction front of the DP reaction can be a source of reliable information on interfacial diffusion characteristics, especially in systems and/or at temperatures where radiotracer data are not readily available.

Fuzzy level control of a tank with optimum valve movement

This paper presents a fuzzy-based controller chip to control the level of a tank. A motor valve controls the tank level. The significant aim of this paper is to present a controller for minimizing the movement of the motor valve, at the same time, setting the level of the tank at defined points. The advantages of this type of control are to reduce both motor and input valve amortization and to increase their useful lifetime. On the other hand, simple and inexpensive elements are used in order to measure tank level and output flow. This is another advantage of the method. The controller is designed by fuzzy techniques in CMOS technology. The die size of the chip is .

Role of the shape of various bacteria in their separation by Microthermal Field-Flow Fractionation

The steady-state movement of the spherical and non-spherical particles, such as prolate or oblate rotational ellipsoids, cylinders, or parallelepipeds, suspended in a liquid and exposed to a unidirectional temperature gradient, is analyzed theoretically. The differences in the ratios of the rotational to translational diffusion coefficients of the non-spherical to spherical particles, the heterogeneity of thermal conductivity of the particle body, and the heterogeneity in surface chemical nature make possible to separate the particles according to differences in shape. Preliminary experimental separations of Gram-positive and Gram-negative, nearly spherical and rod-shaped bacteria performed by Microthermal Field-Flow Fractionation confirmed that the fractionation of the cells according to differences in shape is possible.     

Simultaneous Brownian motion of N particles in a temperature gradient

A system of N Brownian particles suspended in a nonuniform heat bath is treated as a thermodynamic system with internal degrees of freedom, in this case their velocities and coordinates. Applying the scheme of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, one then easily obtains the Fokker-Planck equation for simultaneous Brownian motion of N particles in a temperature gradient. This equation accounts for couplings in the motion as a result of hydrodynamic interactions between particles.

Calculating parameters for infiltration equations from soil hydraulic functions

Simple equations for predicting infiltration of water into soil are valuable both for hydrological application and for investigating soil hydraulic properties. Their value is greatly enhanced if they involve parameters that can be related to more basic soil hydraulic properties. In this paper we extend infiltration equations developed previously for positive surface heads to negative heads. The equations are then used to calculate infiltration into a sand and a clay for a range of initial and surface conditions. Results show errors of less than three percent compared with accurate numerical solutions. Analytical approximations to parameters in the equations are developed for a Brooks and Corey power law hydraulic conductivity-water content relation combined with either a Brooks and Corey or a van Genuchten water retention function. These are compared with accurate numerical values for a range of hydraulic parameters encompassing the majority of soil types and a range of initial and boundary conditions. The approximations are excellent for a wide range of soil parameters.An important attribute of the infiltration equations is their use of dimensionless parameters that can be calculated from normalised water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions. These normalised functions involve only parameters that it may be possible to estimate from surrogate data such as soil particle size distribution. Application of the equations for predicting infiltration, or their use in inferring hydraulic properties, then involves only simple scaling parameters.
