The models were used to study the influence of packing’s surface microstructure on the continuity of liquid film and the amount of liquid holdup. Simulation results show that the round corner shape and micro wavy structure are favorable in remaining the continuity of liquid film and increasing the amount of liquid holdup. The appropriate liquid flow rate was determined by investigating different liquid loadings to obtain an unbroken liquid film on the packing surface. The pressure difference between inlet and outlet for gas phase allowed gas and liquid to flow countercurrently in a 2D computational domain. The direction change of gas flow occurred near the phase interface area.展开更多

The thicknesses of the hydration films on natural hydrophobic coal and hydrophilic mica surfaces were measured directly by atomic force microscopy (AFM) based on the bending mode of the nominal constant compliance regime in AFM force curve in the present study. Surface and solid-liquid interfacial energies were calculated to explain the forming mechanism of the hydration film and atomic force microscopy data. The results show that there are significant differences in the structure and thickness of hydration films on coal and mica surfaces. Hydration film formed on mica surface with the thickness of 22.5 nm. In contrast, the bend was not detected in the nominal constant compliance regime. The van der Waals and polar interactions between both mica and coal and water molecules are characterized by an attractive effect, while the polar attractive free energy between water and mica (-87.36 mN/m) is significantly larger than that between water and coal (-32.89 mN/m), which leads to a thicker and firmer hydration layer on the mica surface. The interfacial interaction free energy of the coal/water/bubble is greater than that of mica. The polar attractive force is large enough to overcome the repulsive van der Waals force and the low energy barrier of film rupture, achieving coal particle bubble adhesion with a total interfacial free energy of-56.30 mN/m.展开更多

The composite was locally produced as a weld band on carbon steel by means of the gas tungsten arc welding process and using nickel as the wetting agent. Samples from the weld band, heat-affected zone and parent metal region were extracted precisely and DC/AC electrochemical tests in combination with techniques such as scanning electron microcopy and energy dispersive spectrometry were conducted. The results of the electrochemical tests show that the corrosion resistance of the parent metal sample is higher than that of the welded composite and the HAZ samples. However, as the corrosion potential (Eco^r) of the parent metal is more positive than other two samples, this becomes the cathode in galvanic couples with two other samples. On the other hand, the weld composite sample is also cathodic due to its more positive Ecorr compared to HAZ sample. This means that the HAZ can be particularly at risk of preferential dissolution. The approach can be used in specific areas on plain carbon steel to locally increase hardness and resistance to abrasion and reduce manufacturing costs.展开更多

Magnetic properties measurements show that the sample with glass substrate has a comparatively large coercivity (He = 2 141.20e) with a rela- tively low optimal temperature ( Ts =350 ℃ ). X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that Cr presents a hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) texture on Si, while a body-centered-cubic (bcc) struc- ture on glass substrate, which leads to Cos Sm films having dif- ferent lattice constants on Si and glass substrates. At their opti- mal temperature, the grain size of the sample on glass slide is smaller with its size distribution more uniform. Concurrently, the shape of magnetic domain is more regular and ordered. The value of magnetic switching volume ( V ) for the film on glass is 1.65×10-18 cm3 , smaller than that for films on Si. For the film on glass, the magnetization reversal mechanism is mainly influenced by magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the shape of the crystal grain and the stress in the film.展开更多

In this work, a modified cleaving technique is developed to precisely separate fabricated devices from a silicon substrate without requiring a dicing machine. This technique is based on DRIE (deep reactive ion etching) which is regularly used to make cleaving trenches in the substrate during the releasing stage. Other similar techniques require some extra later steps or in some cases a long HF soak. To mask the etching process, a thick photoresist is used. It is shown that by applying different UV (ultraviolate) exposure and developing times for the photoresist, the DRIE process could be controlled to etch specific cleaving trenches with less depth than other patterns on the photoresist. Those cleaving trenches are used to cleave the wafer later, while the whole wafer remains as one piece until the end of the silicon etching despite some features being etched all the way through the wafer at the same time. The other steps of fabricating and releasing the devices are unaffected. The process flow is described in details and some results of applying this technique for cleaving fabricated cantilevers on a silicon substrate are presented.展开更多

The composite subphase was the basic premise for the stable existence of the rare earth compound at air/liquid interface. The process that rare earth compound phase changes from liquid expanded state to liquid condensed state corresponded to a plateau in the π-A isotherm. In the pure Eu(TTA)3Phen monolayer, rod domains of Eu(TTA)3Phen formed and packed with no order. In the mixed monolayers with stearic acid (SA), phase transition of SA occurred first and formed domains with an electric gradient field, which induced the rare earth compound to form luminescent ring domains. Influence of intermolecular interaction on the self-organized microstructure was revealed.展开更多
