水平管油水分散流液滴粒径及其分布规律研究

油水两相分散流是油水混输管道常见的流型之一,液滴是油水分散流的主要特征,液滴在油水两相管路中受到湍流惯性力、剪切力、界面张力、黏性力等多种力的作用而发生聚结和破裂,从而形成不同的液滴粒径及其分布。本研究采用高速摄像和显微照相两种方法研究了水平管中油水分散流的液滴粒径随混合流量、温度和含油率等参数的变化规律,并利用三种概率分布函数研究了液滴粒径的分布特性。研究结果表明:分散相液滴的Sauter平均直径随混合流量的增加而逐渐减小、随温度升高而逐渐增大、随含油率的增大而增大;液滴粒径的分布规律与Log-Normal和Frechet概率分布函数符合较好。     

Phase zone photon sieve

A novel diffractive optical element, named phase zone photon sieve (PZPS), is presented. There are three kinds of phase plates in PZPSs: PZPS1, PZPS2, and PZPS3. Each of the PZPSs has its own structure and is made on quartz substrate by etching. The three PZPSs have stronger diffraction peak intensity than a photon sieve (PS) when the margin pinhole and zone line width are kept the same. The PZPS3 can produce a smaller central diffractive spot than the ordinary PS with the same number of zones on the Fresnel zone plate. We have given the design method for and the simulation of PZPS and PS. PZPS has potential applications in optical maskless lithography.

Particle Size Characterization of an Extra Fine Milled Product

The present research aims to characterize the particle size distribution of sub micron particles suspended in a liquid. The particles milled are an organic poorly water soluble crystalline product. To characterize the size of these particles, different techniques have been tested: imaging techniques (SEM, CryoTEM), static light scattering techniques, dynamic light scattering techniques, centrifugation and flow field flow fractionation. The results indicate that the studied milled particles have a primary particle size close to 180nm and there is strong evidence of larger particles which are very likely aggregates. This is clearly seen from the Cryo TEM results. All the above mentioned techniques should in principle be able to measure samples of dispersion containing particles of ca 180 nm but several are disturbed by the presence of large aggregates. It is difficult to estimate the amount of aggregate present, but most of the time one is interested in what the primary particle size distribution is. It is clear that no single piece of equipment is capable of exactly determining the particle size distribution of our samples, but the static light scattering with low shear on mixing does give a good representation of what is seen with the image analysis by cryo TEM.     

Bimodal Nanoparticle Size Distributions Produced by Laser Ablation of Microparticles in Aerosols

Silver nanoparticles were produced by laser ablation of a continuously flowing aerosol of microparticles in nitrogen at varying laser fluences. Transmission electron micrographs were analyzed to determine the effect of laser fluence on the nanoparticle size distribution. These distributions exhibited bimodality with a large number of particles in a mode at small sizes (3–6-nm) and a second, less populated mode at larger sizes (11–16-nm). Both modes shifted to larger sizes with increasing laser fluence, with the small size mode shifting by 35% and the larger size mode by 25% over a fluence range of 0.3–4.2-J/cm². Size histograms for each mode were found to be well represented by log-normal distributions. The distribution of mass displayed a striking shift from the large to the small size mode with increasing laser fluence. These results are discussed in terms of a model of nanoparticle formation from two distinct laser–solid interactions. Initially, laser vaporization of material from the surface leads to condensation of nanoparticles in the ambient gas. Material evaporation occurs until the plasma breakdown threshold of the microparticles is reached, generating a shock wave that propagates through the remaining material. Rapid condensation of the vapor in the low-pressure region occurs behind the traveling shock wave. Measurement of particle size distributions versus gas pressure in the ablation region, as well as, versus microparticle feedstock size confirmed the assignment of the larger size mode to surface-vaporization and the smaller size mode to shock-formed nanoparticles.     

晶粒棱长、尺寸与拓扑学特征之间关系的Monte Carlo仿真研究

采用Potts模型Monte Carlo方法研究了晶粒棱长、尺寸与拓扑学特征之间的统计关系.结果表明,晶粒棱长与晶粒面数之间呈线性统计关系,并且平均N面体晶粒模型和Poisson-Voronoi组织均支持该结论.不同时刻的晶粒长大仿真数据表明,在准稳态晶粒长大阶段晶粒棱长的分布具有自相似性.个体晶粒的平均棱长随晶粒面数（或晶粒尺寸）的增加而逐渐增大,这说明一些理论模型中采用的“不同面数的晶粒平均棱长均相等”的假设具有局限性.仿真数据和纯铁实验数据均表明,晶粒尺寸与晶粒面数之间的统计关系表现为一条单调递增的凸曲线. 关键词： 晶粒棱长 晶粒尺寸 拓扑学 Monte Carlo仿真     

Effects of Microstructural Defects on Ion-Irradiated Type-316 Stainless Steel

Microstructure defects play a very important role in the swelling of irradiated stainless steel. This work is a parametric study of the effects of microstructural defects on the swelling of ion-irradiated steel. For simplicity, vacancy loop effects were neglected. Cold working was found to play a complicated role in the swelling behavior. On one hand, it increase the bias to interstitial absorption due to the increase in dislocation density. On the other hand, it decreases the total flux of point defects to voids by the decrease of the point defect concentrations. Grain size has also a strong effect on swelling. It was found that large gain sizes produces higher swelling and vise versa, i.e. the larger the surface of grain boundaries the less the irradiation-produced swelling. Similar effects were found for precipitates.     

Firm size distribution and mobility of the top 500 firms in China,the United States and the world

This paper considers the macroscopic and microscopic statistical features of the top 500 firms in China, the United States and the world, denoted as China 500 (CH500), Fortune 500 (US500) and Fortune Global 500 (FG500). From a macroscopic perspective, the firm size distribution of each category, when measured by revenue, is steadily distributed over the observed period, even during periods of financial crises. As is evidenced by the Gini coefficient, divergences between firm scales are most significant for the CH500. From a microscopic perspective, the underlying micro-dynamics are volatile and often turbulent due to the exit and entry of firms as well as shifts in their revenues and ranks. Such fluctuations, or mobility, are visualized in rank/revenue/share clocks. We also propose a revenue/rank/share mobility index that is a quantitative measurement of mobility. Among these, we find that the share mobility acts as an effective indicator of economic status; where there is a share mobility spike, there is an ailing economy. The share mobility indexes indicate that the 2008 Financial Crisis had little impact on the Chinese economy, while it triggered violent changes in the top 500 firms in the United States and the world.     

Fabrication,Microstructure, and Properties of Nanoporous Pd,Ni, and Their Alloys by Dealloying

Nanoporous metals can be fabricated by dealloying, which is one of the reactions that occur during the corrosion of alloys. Nanoporous gold has been widely investigated for several decades, and it has recently been found that other metals, such as platinum, palladium, nickel, and copper, can form nanoporous structures through the dealloying of binary alloys. This article mainly shows fabrication and properties of nanoporous palladium and nickel after introduction of nanoporous metals by referring to nanoporous gold as an example. It is necessary to select binary alloys with suitable elements, in which the dissolution of the less noble element and the aggregation of the nobler element at the solid/electrolyte interface are simultaneously allowed. Postprocessing by thermal or acid treatment alters the nanoporous structure. Various properties of nanoporous metals (including mechanical, catalytic, piezoelectric, hydrogenation, and magnetic ones) are different from those of bulk and nanocrystalline materials and nanoparticles because of their specific three-dimensional network structures consisting of nanosized pores and ligaments. Hydrogenation and magnetic properties are reviewed in terms of lattice strain at curved surfaces. These new metallic nanomaterials are now being investigated from the viewpoint of functional applications, and provide much room for study in various fields.
