A short note on the entrainment and exit boundary conditions

An attempt is made to find out the suitable entrainment and exit boundary conditions in laminar flow situations. Streamfunction vorticity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations are solved by ADI method. Two‐dimensional laminar plane wall jet flow is used to test different forms of the boundary conditions. Results are compared with the experimental and similarity solution and the proper boundary condition is suggested. The Kind 1 boundary condition is recommended. It consists of zero first derivative condition for velocity variable and for streamfunction equation, mixed derivative at the entrainment and exit boundaries.

Feasibility Exploration of Laser‐based Techniques for Characterization of a Flashing Jet

Two‐phase flows hold an interest in many areas of science and engineering. In the safety field, one such topic is the accidental release of flammable and toxic pressure‐liquefied gases. In case of such a release, a flashing vapor explosion takes place resulting in a very dense two‐phase cloud. If the released substance is flammable, this cloud can be combustible and can lead to deflagration or detonation. For understanding the source processes of flashing and risk assessment, data related to cloud characteristics (i.e. droplet size, velocity etc.) is needed especially in the near region of the release. Due to the non‐equilibrium nature of the near field regions accurate data measurement is not possible with intrusive techniques. Therefore, laser‐based optical techniques (like Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Particle Tracking Velocimetry and Sizing (PTVS), Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) etc.) present the only possibility to obtain information for particle diameter and velocity evolution in this harsh environment.     

Production of superfine fibers by the electrospinning method

Weakly conducting fluid flows in an electric field in the presence of phase interfaces are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The object of the investigation is an axisymmetric jet. The analysis is carried out within the framework of electrohydrodynamics (EHD) with allowance for surface charge transfer on mobile interfaces. The jet shape is calculated at large distances from the outflow point. The theoretical and experimental data are compared for Newtonian and polymeric fluids.     

XPS investigations of ink‐jet printed paper

Different ink‐jet printed paper materials were investigated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) yielding the elemental composition of the near‐surface region of the papers. We found significant differences with respect to the detected elements and their atomic concentrations in the different inks studied here. Two different groups of inks could be identified by means of a lower ratio of the O and C atomic concentrations and lower concentrations in specific trace elements like Mg, Na and Si. High‐resolution spectra of C 1s and O 1s core levels allowed a detailed determination of the chemical state of the respective elements. On the basis of a detailed deconvolution of these XPS signals, significant differences between all the investigated ink‐jet printed papers were found, thereby allowing their discrimination. The applicability of the measurements and, more generally, the XPS technique for forensic investigations of paper are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nitriding of titanium with plasma jet under reduced pressure

The nitriding of titanium with argon-nitrogen (3%) and argon-nitrogen (3%)-hydrogen (2%) plasma jets at pressures of 190 torr was studied. The reaction kinetics obeyed mainly a parabolic law. The parabolic kinetic constants were 10^–10–10^–8 g² cm^–4 s^–1, which were 2–3 orders of magnitude larger than those in R.F. discharges. From emission spectroscopy, nitrogen atoms in the excited states were observed. The nitrogen atoms can promote the nitriding reaction. The effect of the addition of hydrogen to nitrogen is also briefly discussed.     

Reduction of Chemical Reactions in Nitrogen and Nitrogen–Hydrogen Plasma Jets Flowing into Atmospheric Air

The large number of possible chemical reactions represents a severe burdenfor modeling of even relatively simple plasma systems. Reduced sets ofchemical reactions have been obtained for numerical simulations of nitrogenand nitrogen-hydrogen plasma jets flowing into an atmospheric airenvironment. The important or active reactions are determined based on asimplified reduction method. A reaction is considered active if it leadsto higher sensitivities than a specified cutoff sensitivity of 1%. Theactive reactions exert a significant influence on main plasma parameters,such as velocity, temperature, and species concentrations. The sensitivityanalysis for the specified systems shows that two NO reactions, known asZel'dovich reactions (N₂+ONO+N andNO+OO₂+N),⁽¹⁾ are both active in a nitrogenplasma jet. On the other hand, the latter is not active and may be omittedin a nitrogen–hydrogen plasma jet. A nitrogen–hydrogen plasmajet requires contribution of two active charge exchange reactions:N₂+N⁺N⁺ ₂+N andN+H+N+ +H, while only the former is needed in a nitrogen plasmajet. The dissociation reactions are all active in both plasma jets, exceptthe dissociation of OH.     

Supersonic jet spectroscopy of naphthalene–fluorene bichromophoric cluster

We have investigated the supersonic jet spectroscopy and photophysics of 1-methylnaphthalene–fluorene (1MN–FL) cluster, and looked for indications of intramolecular electronic energy transfer (Intra-EET) from the FL (donor, D) to 1MN (acceptor, A). The clusters were identified by their time of flight (TOF) mass spectra. We observed clusters bands in the LIF spectrum near the region of 1MN origin. We have also observed cluster TOF–resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) spectrum near the electronic origin of the fluorene moiety. However, this spectrum was almost independent of the excitation wavelength, and was not observed in the LIF spectrum. This is probably due to fast Intra-EET resulting in lifetime broadening of the donor chromophore cluster spectrum, similar to that observed previously for the naphthalene–anthracene bichromophoric system.
