The irreversibility due to heat transfer and friction was taken into account so that the minimum entropy generation number has been analyzed with respect to second law of thermodynamics in the forced cross-flow. The optimum dimensions of cylinder pins were discussed. It's found that the minimum entropy generation number depends on parameters related to the fluid and fin physical parameters. Varlatioms of the minimum entropy generation number with different parameters were analyzed.展开更多

Based on experimental findings, two series of dihedral fullerenes with five-fold (C5) and six-fold (C6) symmetry have been studied using density functional theory (DFT). The DFT calculations showed that for both series the stabilities increased with increasing fullerene size. Structural analyses indicated that the stabilities are related to specific local geometries. In the case of the more abundant C5 series, the presence of approximately planar pentagons and hexagons on the top bowl favors their formation. That is to say, those fuller- enes with small dihedral angles within the polygons are readily formed, because planar hexagons lead to strengthened conjuga- tion which lowers average bonding energies (ABE) and increases thermodynamic stabilities. Non-planar hexagons at equatorial positions in tube-shaped fullerenes have an adverse effect on the conjugation and inhibit their formation. Calculations also demonstrated that fullerenes in the two series, including C50(D5h), C60(O6h), C80(O5d), C96(D6d), Cllo(D5h), and Cl20(D5d), have thermodynamically stable triplet structures with strong conjugation. The calculated IR and 13C NMR spectra of the fullerenes show some similarities and regular trends due to their homogenous structures. The electronic structures indicate that short dou- ble bonds in hexagons with high electron occupancies are readily attacked by electrophilic agents and can also be coordinated by transition metals. Mechanistic discussions suggested that C2 additions and C2 losses constitute reversible processes at high temperature and C2 additions in pentagonal fusions are crucial to the kinetics of the curvature of structures. C3 additions lead to the formation of large fullerenes of other types.展开更多
