Development and calibration of heat transfer coefficient sensor for rotational state

A novel heat transfer coefficient sensor is introduced and the design,manufacture,and calibration are described.The intended application of this instrument was on a high rotational speed test disc.In the experiments,the heat transfer coefficient sensor was calibrated under static state and rotational state respectively.The calibration under the static state was accomplished in a pipe: the inside diameter(ID) was 0.048m and the total length was 4m,the distance between the sensor and the inlet of the pipe was 3.5m;the standard value was measured using a self-made calibrator.The calibration under the rotational state was accomplished using a rotating disc: the diameter and thickness of the stainless disc were 800mm and 25mm,respectively;the sensor was installed at the location of r=250mm;the rotating disc driven by a 30kW direct current motor can supply the maximum rotational speed of 3000r/min.The standard value under rotational state was provided by an approximate empirical formula.The results show that the designed sensor can measure heat transfer coefficient directly under rotational state and static state with good accuracy and stability;the correlation factor of K are constant under static state and rotational state.

Dynamics of the reaction of O with H_2 and its isotopic variants in different rotational excited states

Scalar properties and vector correlations of the reactions of O＋H2 →OH＋H, O＋HD→OH＋D, O＋DH→OD＋H, and O＋D2 -＋OD＋D at collision energies of 25 and 34.6 kcal/mole have been studied via the quasi-classical-trajectory （QCT） method based on a BMS1 potential energy surface （PES）. The generalized polarization-dependent differential cross section and the distributions of the dihedral angle at the collision energy of 34.6 kacl/mole are presented. The calculated results indicate that both the reagent rotational angular momentum and the mass factor have a significant influence on the scalar properties and vector correlations of the title reactions.

Propagation of a strong cylindrical shock wave in a rotational axisymmetric dusty gas with exponentially varying density

Non-similarity solutions are obtained for one-dimensional isothermal and adiabatic flow behind strong cylindrical shock wave propagation in a rotational ax-isymmetric dusty gas, which has a variable azimuthal and axial fluid velocity. The dusty gas is assumed to be a mixture of small solid particles and perfect gas. The equi-librium flow conditions are assumed to be maintained, and the density of the mixture is assumed to be varying and obeying an exponential law. The fluid velocities in the ambient medium are assumed to obey exponential laws. The shock wave moves with variable velocity. The effects of variation of the mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture, and the ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas on the flow variables in the region behind the shock are investigated at given times. Also, a comparison between the solutions in the cases of isothermal and adia-batic flows is made.

DIMENSIONS OF ATACTIC POLY(α-METHYLSTYRENE)CHAINS WITH SIDE GROUPS

An improved configurational-confomational statistical method is developed and the mean-square radius of gyration for atactic poly（α-methylstyrene）（PαMS） chains is studied, in which the effect of large side groups is considered. The deduced formulas, based on the rotational isomer state theory, are used to investigate the configuration-dependent properties of the atactic polymer chain, and the statistical correlation of the unperturbed polymer chain dimension and structure parameters are calculated. For the fraction of meso dyads Wm= 0.4, the dependence of the radius of gyration Rg and the intrinsic viscosity [η] on the molecule mass M are Rg = 2.63×10^-2 M^0.50 nm and [η] = 7.36 × 10^-2 M^0.497, respectively, which are in agreement with the previous experimental data for the PαMS samples. A small hump is detected in the curve of the characteristic ratio of the unperturbed mean-square radius of gyration versus the chain length for short PαMS chains. The Rg increases linearly with the temperature T, and the effects of the chain length and the tacticity on the temperature coefficient are remarkable. These are quite different from the results for PαMS chains not considering side groups or for the monosubstituted polystyrene chain.

CONFORMATIONAL PROPERTIES OF STRETCHED POLYETHYLENE CHAIN

When polyethylene chains are stretched, the chains are regarded as being confined in an infinite cylinder with decreasing diameter. The conformational properties of polyethylene chains confined in an infinite cylinder are investigated by using rotational isomeric state model. Using the average conformational energy and entropy and the average length, we can determine the elastic force f, or the fraction of the energy term to the total force f(e)/f where f(e) = partial derivative /partial derivative < r > and f = partial derivative /partial derivative < r >. Comparisons with experimental data are also made. The results of these microscopic calculations are discussed in terms of the macroscopic phenomena of rubber elasticity.

Cooling of hybrid stars with spin down compression

We study the cooling of hybrid stars coupled with spin-down. Due to the spindown of hybrid stars, the interior density continuously increases and different neutrino reactions may be triggered （from the modified Urca process to the quark and nucleon direct Urca process） at different stages of evolution. We calculate the rate of neutrino emissivity of different reactions and simulate the cooling curves of the rotational hybrid stars. The results show that the cooling curves of hybrid stars clearly depend on a magnetic field if the direct Urca reactions occur during the spin-down. Comparing the results of the rotational star model with the transitional static model, we find the cooling behavior of the rotational model is more complicated; the temperature of the star is higher, especially when direct Urca reactions appear in the process of rotation. Then, we find that the predicted temperatures of some rotating hybrid stars are compatible with the pulsar＇s data which are in contradiction with the results of the transitional method.

A key factor to the spin parameter of uniformly rotating compact stars: crust structure

We study the dimensionless spin parameter j ≡ cJ/（GM2） of different kinds of uniformly rotating compact stars, including traditional neutron stars, hyperonic neutron stars and hybrid stars, based on relativistic mean field theory and the MIT bag model. It is found that j ~ 0.7, which had been suggested in traditional neutron stars, is sustained for hyperonic neutron stars and hybrid stars with M 〉 0.5 MG. Not the interior but rather the crust structure of the stars is a key factor to determine jmax for three kinds of selected compact stars. Furthermore, a universal formula j = 0.63（f/fK） -- 0.42（f/fK）2 ＋ 0.48（f/fK）z is suggested to determine the spin parameter at any rotational frequency f smaller than the Keplerian frequency fK.

Rotational dephasing of the molecular alignment by centrifugal distortion [Invited]

The dephasing of molecular alignment can lead to the deformation of the alignment signal during its periodic revivals.Most studies are concentrated on the first few rotational revival periods of the molecular alignment and neglect the dephasing effect.However,study of the alignment dephasing is still of great significance for both the long-term dynamics of the molecular alignment and the dephasing itself.In this work,we theoretically demonstrate that the dephasing effect is correlated with both the rotational temperature and the rotational revival period of the molecules.The results present that the dephasing is especially significant for those molecules with long rotational revival period at high rotational temperatures.The physics behind it is explored by taking advantage of the coherence of the rotational quantum state population.This work deepens our understanding of rotational dynamics and rotational spectroscopy in molecular alignment.

LOCV calculation of the equations of state and properties of rapidly rotating neutron stars

In this paper, we have investigated the structural properties of rotating neutron stars using the numerical RNS code and equations of state which have been calculated within the lowest order constrained variational（LOCV）approach. In order to calculate the equation of state of nuclear matter, we have used UV（14） ＋TNI and AV（18） potentials.We have computed the maximum mass of the neutron star and the corresponding equatorial radius at different angular velocities. We have also computed the structural properties of Keplerian rotating neutron stars for the maximum mass configuration, MK, RK, fK and jmax.

Photodissociation of acryloyl chloride in the gas phase

The 193 nm photodissociation dynamics of CH2CHCOC1 in the gas phase has been examined with the technique of time-resolved Fourier transform infrared emission （TR-FTIR） spectroscopy. Vibrationally excited photofragments of CO （v ≤ 5）, HC1 （v ≤ 6）, and C2H2 were observed and two photodissociation channels, the C-C1 fission channel and the HC1 elimina- tion channel have been identified. The vibrational and rotational state distributions of the photofragments CO and HC1 have been acquired by analyzing their fully rotationally resolved v→ v- 1 rovibrational progressions in the emission spectra, from which it has been firmly established that the mechanism involves production of HC1 via the four-center molecular elimination of CH2CHCOC1 after its internal conversion from the S1 state to the So state. In addition to the dominant C--C1 bond fission along the excited S1 state, the S1→S0 internal conversion has also been found to play an important role in the gas phase photolysis of CH2CHCOC1 as manifested by the considerable yield of HC1.

Coexisting Phenomena of Surge and Rotating Stall in an Axial Flow Compressor

The unsteady inner flow structure of a single-stage axial flow compressor under the coexisting conditions of surge and rotating stall was experimentally investigated via detailed measurements of the unsteady characteristics and the internal flow velocity fluctuations. The main relevant feature of the tested compressor is a shock tube with a capacity tank connected in series to the compressor outlet through slits and a concentric duplex pipe: surge and rotating stall can both be generated by connecting the shock tube. Research attention is focused on the unsteady behavior of a rotating stall during the surge cycle. The size of the rotating stall cell during the recovery process of an irregular surge cycle was experimentally determined by the circumferential flow velocity fluctuations ahead of the rotor blade. The results suggested that the size of the rotating stall cell at the switching point of the performance curve between large and small cycles is considered to be the key parameter in determining the following surge cycle. In addition, the surge cycle is largely influenced by the unsteady behavior of the rotating stall cell.
