Calorimeter energy calibration using the energy conservation law

A new calorimeter energy calibration method was developed for the proposed ILC detectors. The method uses the center-of-mass energy of the accelerator as the reference. It has been shown that using the energy conservation law it is possible to make ECAL and HCAL cross calibration to reach a good energy resolution for the simple calorimeter energy sum.      

Excess enthalpies for mixtures of cyclohexanone with isomeric propanols and butanols at 298.15 K

Excess enthalpies (H ^E ) for mixtures of cyclohexanone with propan-1-ol. propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol and 2-methyl propan-1-ol at 298.15 K have been measured over the entire composition range. All mixed endothermically with the maximum values ofH ^E occurring at equimole fraction. Comments about the molecular interactions contributing to the excess enthalpies of a cyclic ketone + an alcohol are made on the basis of these results.     

Thermodynamics of dimethylene urethane and poly(dimethylene urethane) in the range from T → 0 to 490 K at standard pressure

By high-precision dynamic calorimetry the temperature dependences of heat capacity of dimethylene urethane (DMU) between 320 and 370 K and partially crystalline poly(dimethylene urethane) (PDMU) in the range 326-490 K at standard pressure have been determined within ±1.5%. The thermodynamic characteristics of fusion of the substances, namely the temperature interval of melting, temperature, enthalpy and entropy of fusion, as well as the characteristics of devitrification and glassy state for poly(dimethylene urethane) have been estimated. The first and the second cryoscopic constants have been calculated for dimethylene urethane. The experimental data obtained in the present work and literature findings on the heat capacity of the substances were used to calculate their thermodynamic functions: the heat capacity C°_p (T), enthalpy H°(T)−H°(0), entropy S°(T) and Gibbs function G°(T)−H°(0) over the range from T→0 to (370-480) K. Based on the data, the thermodynamic characteristics of polymerization process with five-membered ring opening Δ_polH°, Δ_polS° and Δ_polG° of dimethylene urethane with the formation of linear partially crystalline poly(dimethylene urethane) have been evaluated.

DNB引出束流功率及剖面分布测量

 利用束流截止板热量计原理,测量了诊断中性束(DNB)注入托卡马克的束流功率及束流剖面分布。基于热量截止板上正交分布的13只K型热电偶探针测量出DNB引出束流,在加速极电源49 kV,6 A,100 ms的脉冲放电时,采样铜靶上的最高温升为14 ℃,从而计算出注入束流功率达到160 kW并得到束剖面分布。同时通过对热量截止板冷却循环水温升测量值在时间上的积分数值计算,也获得了注入束流总功率,为130 kW。分析了两种测量结果存在差异的原因,实验结果表明惯性束截止板热量计方法是测量粒子束流功率及剖面分布的有效手段。     

Combustion effects in confined explosions

Results of shock-dispersed-fuel (SDF) explosion experiments are presented. The SDF charge consisted of a spherical 0.5-g PETN booster surrounded by 1 g of fuel, either flake aluminum (Al) powder or TNT. The charge was placed at the center of a sealed chamber. Three cylindrical chambers (volumes of 6.6, 20, and 40 l with L/D = 1) and three tunnels (L/D = 3.8, 4.65, and 12.5) were used to explore the influence of chamber volume and geometry on completeness of combustion. Detonation of the SDF charge created an expanding cloud of explosion product gases and hot fuel (Al or TNT). When this fuel mixed with air, it formed a turbulent combustion cloud that consumed the fuel and liberated additional energy (31 kJ/g for Al or 15 kJ/g for TNT) over and above detonation of the booster (6 kJ/g) that created the explosion. Static pressure gauges were the main diagnostic. Pressure and impulse histories for explosions in air were much greater than those recorded for explosions in nitrogen—thereby demonstrating that combustion has a dramatic effect on the chamber pressure. This effect increases as the confinement volume decreases and the excess air ratio approaches values between 2 and 3.5.     

The room temperature oxidation of porous silicon

The room temperature oxidation of porous silicon was studied using isothermal methods. The oxidation was found to depend on the type of the porous silicon. The microcalorimetric signals from the oxidation of the p⁺- and n-type porous silicon in dry air were different. In humid air the signals from the oxidation could not be distinguished from the strong signal due to adsorption of water vapour, but when the samples were placed in water similar differences were observed. The reason for differences in reactions is discussed. The oxidation in different liquids was also studied. The signal from reactions in methanol and ethanol were found to be 100 times higher than in water. In FTIR studies the reaction gas produced by reactions between alcohols and the porous silicon, silane (SiH₄) was found in the gas. Traces of SiOCH₃ and SiOC₂H₅ groups were also found in FTIR spectra indicating Si---O---C_xH_y passivation of the surface.     

用绝热测试的压力数据计算分解反应的表观活化能

绝热量热技术的广泛应用促进了绝热动力学研究的发展.至今为止，绝热动力学的研究仍是以Townsend 和 Tou在1980年提出的绝热动力学方程为基础.他们利用反应物浓度与温度的关系建立动力学模型，从而求得了反应的活化能.但这种方法在反应体系的温度效应不明显时的应用，就受到很大的限制.因此，本文通过建立用压力表示的动力学方程，充分利用绝热量热中的压力数据，提出了一种计算反应活化能的新方法.同时用这种方法计算了过氧化二叔丁基和2-甲基-5-硝基苯磺酸的绝热分解活化能值，并与文献值和其他计算方法所得结果进行了比较.
