Based on non-steady-state diffusion, a rate equation is derived to describe the kinetics of internal oxidation of plate: X=k-t-, where X is the oxidation depth, t is the oxidation time. For the internal oxidation of Cu-Al alloys employed in the synthesis of alumina dispersion strengthened copper, the permeability of oxygen in solid copper is obtained from the internal oxidation measurements. Investigation shows that the depth of the internal oxidation is a parabolic function of time, the typical shape of the front of internal oxidation is of planar morphology, and there is no evidence for preferential diffusion along grain boundaries.展开更多

Here, we showfirst experimental results, where all the plasma facing components were actively cooled duringpulses exceeding four minutes, with reactor-relevant heat load. New physics was observed innon-inductively driven plasmas, including a stationary peaked radial profile of the plasma densitygenerated by an anomalous inward pinch; and a regime characterized by sinusoidal oscillations ofcentral electron temperature, governed by non-linear coupling between heat transport and plasmacurrent analogous to a predator-prey mechanism.展开更多

Plasmas current of 15 kA was implemented for 1 s. Magnetic surface reconstruction exhibited a plasma shape with an aspect ratio of below 1.5. The plasma current was dependent significantly on the launched microwave power and vertical magnetic field, while not affected by the mode of launched wave and the toroidal refractive index. Hard X-ray (HXR) emitted from energetic electrons accelerated by the microwave was observed, and the discharge with a plasma current over 4 kA followed the same trend as the number of photons of 10 keV to 12 keV. This suggests that the plasma current may be driven by energetic electrons. Based on the experimental conditions, alternative explanations of how the plasma current could be driven are discussed.展开更多

Two classes of units, priority and non-priority, arrive at the system in two independent Poisson streams. Under a non-preemptive priority rule, the server provides a general service to the priority units and a deterministic service to the non-priority units. We further assume that the server may take a vacation of random length just after serving the last priority unit present in the system. We obtain steady state queue size distribution at a random epoch. Corresponding results for some special cases, including the known results of the M/G/1 and the M/D/1 queues, have been derived.展开更多

Approximate analytical me-thod (He’s Homotopy perturbation method) is used to solve the coupled non-linear differential equations containing a non-linear term related to enzymatic reaction. Closed analytical expres-sions for substrate concentration, enzyme sub-strate concentration and product concentration have been derived in terms of dimensionless reaction diffusion parameters k, and us-ing perturbation method. These results are compared with simulation results and are found to be in good agreement. The obtained results are valid for the whole solution domain.展开更多

It also means that a non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) must not appear in any isolated natural systems. Here we experimentally investigate an isolated human social system with a clustering effect. We report that the PIE cannot always hold, and that NESSs can come to appear.

This article proposes a new method that requires only two consecutive measurements. While using the azimuth measurement to obtain the angular difference between two radial distances, it also conducts two consecutive Doppler frequency shift measurements at the same target azimuth. On the basis of this measurement, a frequency difference equation is first constructed and solved jointly with the Doppler frequency shift equation. By eliminating the velocity variable and using the measured angular difference to obtain the target’s lead angle, the target’s velocity can be solved by using the Doppler frequency shift equation again. The new method avoids the condition that the target must move equidistantly, which not only provides an achievable method for engineering applications but also lays a good foundation for further exploring the use of steady-state signals to achieve passive positioning.展开更多

The numerical calculation shows that both steady state and non-steady state approaches result in the essentially same outcomes when the exchange rate between the two active species is larger than the rates of chain propagation; however, the steady state method leads to a larger error and only the non-steady state approach is valid if the exchange rate between the two active species is comparable to or smaller than propagation rates. In addition, the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polymer becomes narrower with the value of k_p approaching to k_p~’ and with increasing M_o/l_o.展开更多
