In particular we assume that vacuum polarization is a real non relativistic phenomena caused by hidden vacuum charge oscillations which diffuses heat energy in a dispersive and dissipative dielectric medium with a temperature dependent speed of propagation. We propose a model which couples vacuum wavefunctions to vacuum charge fluctuations and we deduce a temperature dependent running fine structure constant function proportional, at first approximation, to the squared of the effective electron charge and compatible with known experimental data. We interpret the vacuum symmetry breaking energy fluctuations induced in scattering experiments of particle physics and in laser assisted nuclear reactions as thermal quasi-monochromatic beams produced by the decay of hidden non equilibrium massive photons propagating with a variable light speed. We suggest, exploiting an old analogy between plasmons and pseudo Goldstone bosons, to interpret heat diffusion of this non relativistic polarized vacuum as a real De Broglie electromagnetic scalar wave associated to the radiation emitted by the hidden massive photons with acceleration proportional to vacuum Unruh like temperature. We predict a temperature dependent deviation from Coulomb law and a generalized dispersive law of these hidden unstable photons that could be revealed as not stationary coloured noise in experiments on anomalous heat diffusions associated to the decay of unstable accelerated pairs produced in nuclear physics experiments. We discuss then how our proposal of a temperature dependent non relativistic vacuum polarization might be applied to deduce a dynamic generalization of Born rule based on a realistic interpretation of quantum wavefunctions as averaged electromagnetic waves of hidden massive photons. Finally we suggest to test our time asymmetric model looking for very fast oscillating polarization thermal waves emitted during the not instantaneous wavefunction collapse and revealed as not stationary bulk heating effects in experiments on accelerated conductors and nanoconductors.展开更多

Synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry (SVUV-PIMS) was used for identifying and quantifying the oxidation species. Major products, cyclic olefins, and oxygenated products including reactive hydroperoxides and high oxygen compounds were detected. Compared with n-alkanes, a narrow low-temperature window (-80 K) was observed in the low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane. Besides, a kinetic model for cyclohexane oxidation was developed based on the CNRS model [Combust. Flame 160, 2319 (2013)], which can better capture the experimental results than previous models. Based on the modeling analysis, the 1,5-H shift dominates the crucial isomerization steps of the first and second O2 addition products in the low-temperature chain branching process of cyclohexane. The negative temperature coefficient behavior of cyclohexane oxidation results from the reduced chain branching due to the competition from chain inhibition and propagation reactions, i.e. the reaction between cyclohexyl radical and O2 and the de- composition of cyclohexylperoxy radical, both producing cyclohexene and HO2 radical, as well as the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxy radical producing hex-5-en-l-al and OH radical.展开更多

The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectra, ultraviolet (UV) spectra and FT-IR spectrum. XRD pattern reveals that BSMA: Tm3 + has the same structure as BaAl12O19 phase. SEM image illustrates that the phosphor has the hexagonal shape and deep slice structure. VUV and UV emission spectra at 20, 50 and 100 K show that the low temperature luminescence intensities become weak gradually with the increasing of the temperature under 147 and 254 nm excitation. The strong broadband peaks at around 357 and 397 nm and the peak at 516 nm under 147 nm excitation all correspond to the characteristic transitions of Tm3 + ions. However, under UV (254 nm) excitation, the main peak becomes 530 nm which has very high line intensity, and the peaks at about 362 and 403 nm are very weak. The excitation spectrum at 20 K shows that there are three absorption peaks at around 153, 186 and 193 nm when 516 nm emission is monitored. The absorption peaks of [AlO4], [AlO6] and Al-0 can be observed in FT-IR spectrum.展开更多

We analyze its consequences on the standard statistical analysis of data showing that it is not fulfilled anymore the conventional hypothesis of a Poisson like probability density distribution of single photodetection events. We assume that vacuum fluctuations are due to real and measurable fluctuating fields, as recently confirmed experimentally, and that their non null correlations outside the light cone contribute to photon coincidence rates making them time dependent. We introduce a generalized Bell like correlation function which contains a new term due to supposed vacuum induced photon counting events. We deduce then a generalization of CH-inequality which takes in account the effect of these vacuum electric fields on detector efficiency. We predict an apparatus temperature fluctuations during photon detection which we suggest could be observed by looking for colored noise thermal emission of the photodetectors, generalizing the standard white noise prediction of C.S.L. models on wave function collapse postulate. We discuss an experimental test of this prediction, based on the idea of inducing a thermal wave on the whole quantum detectors, aimed to observe time dependent deviations from standard stationary statistical predictions of Quantum Mechanics.展开更多

Nevertheless, the current vacuum membrane distillation technology’s significant reliance on a heat source presents a challenging equilibrium between its energy consumption and thermal efficiency. Consequently, the present study employed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations and analyses to examine the phenomena of temperature-differential polarisation and concentration-differential polarisation generated during the membrane distillation process, and to ascertain the extent to which the operating parameters affect them. Furthermore, it was observed that CPC and TPC exhibited a notable decline with the elevation of feed inlet temperature, while the polarisation phenomenon was diminished with the augmentation of feed inlet flow rate. The optimal equilibrium between membrane flux and thermal efficiency is intimately associated with the operating parameters. Additionally, this study offers a theoretical rationale for the enhancement of vacuum membrane distillation performance.展开更多
