Effect of CeO_2 on heat transfer and crystallization behavior of rare earth alloy steel mold fluxes

To improve the heat transfer capability and the crystallization property of the traditional mold flux, CaF_2 was replaced with B_2O_3. Then, the influences of CeO_2 on the heat transfer and the crystallization of the CaF_2-bearing mold flux and the new mold flux with 10 wt% B_2O_3 were studied using a slag film heat flux simulator and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results revealed that the addition of CeO2 reduced the heat transfer by increasing the solid slag thickness and the crystallization of two mold fluxes. However, CeO_2 had less effect on the B_2O_3-containing mold flux compared with the CaF_2-bearing mold flux. According to the analyses, the CeO_2 contents in the CaF_2-bearing mold flux and the B_2O_3-containing mold flux should not exceed 8 wt% and 12 wt%, respectively. Therefore, these experimental results are beneficial to improve and develop the mold flux for casting rare earth alloy steels.

The anion has the Keggin structure. The MoO bond distances range from 1.675(3) to 1.691(3) ?for the terminal oxygen atoms, 1.798(3) to 2.045(3) ?for the bridging ones, and 2.328(3) to 2.361(3) ?for those in the SiO4 tetrahedron. The SiO bond distances fall in the range of 1.623(3)～1.630(3) ?

Numerical Simulation of the Multicomponent Mass Transfer during Bridgman Growth of CdZnTe Crystal Using Maxwell-Stefan Diffusion Model

To reveal the complicated mechanism of the multicomponent mass transfer during the growth of ternary compound semiconductors, a numerical model based on Maxwell-Stefan equations was developed to simulate the Bridgman growth of CdZnTe crystal. The Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients in the melt were estimated. Distributions of Zn, Cd, and Te were calculated with variable ampoule traveling rate and diffusion coefficients. The experimental results show that Zn in melt near the growth interface decreases and diffuses from the bulk melt to the growth interface. For Cd, the situation is just the opposite. The coupling effects of Zn and Cd diffusions result in an uphill diffusion of Te at the beginning of the growth. Throughout the growth, the concentration of Te in the melt keeps low near the growth interface but high far from the growth interface. Increasing the ampoule traveling rate will aggravate the segregation of Zn and Cd, and hence deteriorate the uniformity of Te. We also find that not only the diffusion coefficients but also the ratios between them have significant influence on the species diffusions.

The photoinduced proton transfer reaction, transforming the initial thione into thiol form, was found, and the latter form was characterized by UV absorption spectra, fluo-rescence spectra and infrared spectra.

The effect of in-situ dynamic mold flux melting and crystallization on heat transfer in continuous casting

A mold flux is widely used to modify heat transfer rates in continuous casting,and crystallization of the mold flux has been identified as a primary factor that influences heat flux from the strand to the mold.As the harsh environment and the very high transient nature of the mold caster,the study of dynamic mold flux melting and crystallization as well as their effects on heat transfer has not been conducted widely.By using an infrared radiation emitter,a high level heat flux was applied to a copper mold covered with solid mold flux disk to simulate the heat transfer phenomena in continuous casting.By this technique it is possible to have a liquid layer,a crystalline layer and a glassy layer in contact with one another and,by varying the energy input,it is possible to study the dynamic nature of the film and its effect on the heat transfer rate.A general heat transfer model was also developed to allow the prediction of the effect of varying the thickness of the three potential layers in the flux film.

Influence of colloidal particle transfer on the quality of self-assembling colloidal photonic crystal under confined condition

The relationship between colloidal particle transfer and the quality of colloidal photonic crystal（CPC） is investigated by comparing colloidal particle self-assembling under the vertical channel（VC） and horizontal channel（HC） conditions.Both the theoretical analyses and the experimental measurements indicate that crystal quality depends on the stability of mass transfer.For the VC,colloidal particle transfer takes place in a stable laminar flow,which is conducive to forming high-quality crystal.In contrast,it happens in an unstable turbulent flow for the HC.Crystals with cracks and an uneven surface formed under the HC condition can be seen from the images of a field emission scanning electron microscope（SEM） and a three-dimensional（3D） laser scanning microscope（LSM）,respectively.

Controlling the Bandgaps of One-Dimensional TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/SnO2, and SiO2/SnO2 Photonic Crystals Using the Transfer Matrix Method

One-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhCs) have a unique ability to control the propagation of light waves, however certain classes of 1D oxides remain relatively unexplored for use as PhCs. Specifically, there has not been a comparative study of the three different 1D PhC structures to compare the influence of layer thickness, number, and refractive index on the ability of the PhCs to control light transmission. Herein, we use the transfer matrix method (TMM) to theoretically examine the transmission of 1D PhCs composed of layers of TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/SnO2, SiO2/SnO2, and combinations of the three with various top and bottom layer thicknesses to cover a substantial region of the electromagnetic spectrum (UV to NIR). With increasing layer numbers for TiO2/SiO2 and SiO2/SnO2, the edges became sharper and wider and the photonic bandgap width increased. Moreover, we demonstrated that PhCs with significantly thick TiO2/SiO2 layers had a high transmittance for a wide bandgap, allowing for wide-band optical filter applications. These different PhC architectures could enable a variety of applications, depending on the properties needed.

2.0-μm emission and energy transfer of Ho^(3+)/Yb^(3+) co-doped LiYF_4 single crystal excited by 980 nm

Ho3＋/yb3＋ co-doped LiYF4 single crystals with various Yb3＋ concentrations and ,-~ 0.98 mol% Ho3＋ concentration are grown by the Bridgman method under the conditions of taking LiF and YF3 as raw materials and a temperature gradient （40 ~C/cm-50 ~C/cm） for the solid-liquid interface. The luminescent performances of the crystals are investigated through emission spectra, infrared transmittance spectrum, emission cross section, and decay curves under excitation by 980 nm. Compared with the Ho3＋ single-doped LiYF4 crystal, the Ho3＋/yb3＋ co-doped tiYf4 single crystal has an obviously enhanced emission band from 1850 nm to 2150 nm observed when excited by a 980-nm diode laser. The energy transfer from Yb3＋ to Ho3＋ and the optimum fluorescence emission around 2.0 p-m of Ho3＋ ions are investigated. The maximum emission cross section of the above sample at 2.0 p.m is calculated to be 1.08 × 10-20 cm2 for the LiYF4 single crystal of 1-mol% Ho3＋ and 6-mo1% Yb3＋ according to the measured absorption spectrum. The high energy transfer efficiency of 88.9% from Yb3＋ to Ho3＋ ion in the sample co-doped by Ho3＋ （1 mol%） and Yb3＋ （8 tool%） demonstrates that the Yb3＋ ions can efficiently sensitize the Ho3＋ ions.

Consequently, the study found that the model helps in enhancing the PFC system.

Effect of inclined ribs on heat transfer coefficient in stationary square channel

The main objective of this research is to study the effect of rib arrangement on the distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient in a stationary channel. In this study, the ribs with square cross section were used to place on two side walls for study. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio （e/Dh） and the rib pitch- to-height （p/e） ratio were fixed at 0.133 and 10, respectively. Three different types of rib arrangement for inclined ribs, V-shaped ribs and inverted V-shaped ribs were investigated. The rib angle of attack （α） was varied from 30° to 90° for inclined ribs and 45° and 60° for both V-shaped and inverted V-shaped ribs, and compared at constant Reynolds number Re =30000. Thermal Liquid Crystal sheet was applied for evaluating the heat transfer distributions. The results showed that the average Nusselt number on surface with rib inclined angle at 60°, 45°, and 60° V-shaped ribs was improved up to about 20%, 25% and 30% higher than case of angle 90° and the rib inclined angle at 60° V-shaped ribs provided the highest Nusselt number covering largest area when compared to the other cases.
