A New Model for Correlation between the Marine Benthic Oxygen Isotope and Red Clay Magnetic Susceptibility on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Objective Aeolian sediments on the Chinese Loess Plateau contain some of the best continental archives of palaeoclimate change in the Late Cenozoic. The consensus that alternating MS in loess-paleosols in China was due to the strengthening and weakening of the East Asian palaeomonsoon provides an excellent climate record when correlated with global ice volume. Significantly, new basal dates from the red clay underlying the loess-paleosol sequence indicate that wind-blown dust began to accumulate on the Chinese Loess Plateau at least 22 million years ago. There are differences of opinion,

A NEW MODEL FOR PHYSICAL ADSORPTION ON SOLID SURFACES

The principal assumptions about equivalence and energy distribution of the asdorption sites on solidsurfaces used by Langmuir for deriving the equation of monomolecular adsorption are generalized and anew physical adsorption model is proposed and tested with experimental data published in literature.Themodels of Langmuir,Freundlich,Temkin etc.are only the special cases.Assuming uniform density distributionof adsorption energy,the isotherm equation is given asn=K.1n[1+（bop）1/Mor n=K.1n[1+（boC）1/M]where n is the amount of adsorption per unit weight or area of solid p or C is tbe pressure of gas or the concen-tration of solution respectively.K,bo,M are constants with physical meanings as described in this paper.This equation can be used over wide range to quantitatively represent the five types of physical adsorptionclassified by Brunauer.

A NEW MODEL FOR CALCULATING PROPAGATION PRESSURE AND INITIATION PRESSURE OF PIPELINES WITH A LOCAL DENT

An analytical model of a ring with six yield hinges and two deformable arc segments is presented for. the prediction of the buckle propagation pressure and initiation pressure in offshore pipelines. The configuration of a fully collapsed ring is considered as a real dumbbell shape with a line touch between two 'bells', instead of the dumbbell shape with a point touch of two diametrically opposite points. Calculations are performed assuming that the dominant effect on the plastic energy dissipation has the circumferential bending mode. For the linear strain-hardening materials it is found that theoretical predictions based on the above model for both propagation pressure and initiation nressure are in good agreement with experimental results of Kyriakides et al.

A New Example of Retrograde Solubility Model for Carbonate Rocks

Objective The dissolution and precipitation of carbonate during burial diagenetic process controls the reservoir property in deep buried strata. The geological process related with it has become a research focus during recent years. The most important dissolution fluids to carbonates are probably H2S and CO2 as byproducts of sulfate reduction in deep-buried setting with sulfate minerals, but carbonates are more soluble in relatively low temperature, which is the so-called retrograde solubility. Several geological processes can result in the decrease of temperature, including the upward migration of thermal fluids and tectonic uplift.

Rheological Behaviour for Polymer Melts and Concentrated Solutions Part Ⅰ:A New Multiple Reptation Model to Predict the Nonlinear Visco-elasticity with Nagai Chain Constraints in Entangled Polymer Melts

An approach of stochastically statistical mechanics and a unified molecular theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity with constraints of Nagai chain entanglement for polymer melts have been proposed. A multimode model structure for a single polymer chain with n tail segments and N reversible entanglement sites on the test polymer chain is developed. Based on the above model structure and the mechanism of molecular flow by the dynamical reorganization of entanglement sites, the probability distribution function of the end-to-end vectr for a single polymer chain at entangled state and the viscoelastic free energy of deformation for polymer melts are calculated by using the method of the stochastically statistical mechanics. The four types of stress-strain relation and the memory function are derived from this thery. The above theoretical relations are verified by the experimentaf data for various polymer melts. These relations are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results

Rheological Behaviour for Polymer Melts and Concentrated Solutions Part Ⅲ: A New Multiple Entanglement Model to Predict the Dependence of Linear Viscoelastic Function (η_0, Ψ_(10)~0,η_(ext)~0) on the Ranges of Primary Molecular Weights and th

It is shown theoretically that the viscoelasticity of polymer melts is determined by three combining factorst they are the primary molecular weight and its distribution, the number of entanglement sites on polymer chain and the sequence distribution of constituent chains in entanglement spacings. A unified quantity for the three combing factors is the average constrained dimensional number of constituent chains in the long entanglement spacings (v). A new relation of v to the primary molecular weight and the number of testing polymers were derived from the multiple entanglement and reptation model, and a new method for determining v was proposed. The dependences of linear viscoelastic functions on the primary molecular weight and its distribution were derived by the statistical method. When Mn=6Me to 18 Me, the values of (v) can range from 3.33 to 3.70. Their values are in a good agreement with the experiment data, and it can slightjy vary with the different species of polymers and the different ranges of molecular weight of polymers

A New Fractional Model for the Falling Body Problem

Recently, a conformable fractional derivative has been proposed to calculate the derivative of non-integer order of time functions. It has been shown that this new fractional derivative definition obeys many advantages over the preceding definitions. For mathematical models in applied sciences and to preserve the dimensionality of the physical quantities, an auxiliary parameter （~r） which has the dimension of seconds should be implemented in the fractional derivative definition. We obtain analytic solutions for the resulting conformable fractional differential equations describing the vertical velocity and the height of the falling body. It is shown that the dimensions of velocity and height are always correct without any restrictions on the auxiliary parameter cr which contradicts with the results in the literature when applying the Caputo definition to the same problem. This may open the door for many future works either to describe the role of such an auxiliary parameter or to derive a more suitable definition for the fractional derivative.

A NEW NUMERICAL MODEL FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL SURFACE WATER FLOWS

A three dimensional numerical model based on the Reynolds equations is presented that can be used to predict the surface water flow in open channels.The model uses a computational mesh that conforms to the free water sur- face and the bottom of the channel so that the accuracy of boundary condition application,code complexity,and e- conomy could be enhanced.The k-ε turbulence model is used to estimate the eddy viscosity coefficient.Instead of using the“rigid-lid”approximation a 2-D equation derived from integrating the continuity equation over the total depth is adopted to determine the elevation of the free water surface.A new algorithm is presented based on the conventional SIMPLE procedure.The block correction technique is employed to enhance rate of convergence. The model presented is applied to a bottom discharge into a rectangular straight channel for three dimensional phenomena to obtain the free water surface configuration,velocities and pressure.The computed results are in good agreement with the previous experimental values.
