Precise determination of anomalous scattering factors of Ge by using X-ray resonant scattering

Variations of peak position of the rocking curve in the Bragg case are measured from a Ge thin crystal near the K-absorption edge. The variations are caused by a phase change of the real part of the atomic scattering factor. Based on the measurement, the values of the real part are determined with an accuracy of better than 1%. The values are the most reliable ones among those reported values so far as they are directly determined from the normal atomic scattering factors.

Thermodynamic damage mechanism of transparent films caused by a low-power laser

A new model for analyzing the laser-induced damage process is provided. In many damage pits, the melted residue can been found. This is evidence of the phase change of materials. Therefore the phase change of materials is incorporated into the mechanical damage mechanism of films. Three sequential stages are discussed: no phase change, liquid phase change, and gas phase change. To study the damage mechanism and process, two kinds of stress have been considered: thermal stress and deformation stress. The former is caused by the temperature gradient and the latter is caused by high-pressure drive deformation. The theory described can determine the size of the damage pit.

Numerical simulations of unsteady wet steam flows with non-equilibrium condensation in the nozzle and the steam turbine

Numerical techniques for non-equilibrium condensing flows are presented. Conservation equations for homogeneous gas-liquid two-phase compressible flows are solved by using a finite volume method based on an approximate Riemann solver. The phase change consists of the homogeneous nucleation and growth of existing droplets. Nucleation is computed with the classical Volmer-Frenkel model, corrected for the influence of the droplet temperature being higher than the steam temperature due to latent heat release. For droplet growth, two types of heat transfer model between droplets and the surrounding steam are used: a free molecular flow model and a semi-empirical two-layer model which is deemed to be valid over a wide range of Knudsen number. The computed pressure distribution and Sauter mean droplet diameters in a convergent-divergent (Laval) nozzle are compared with experimental data. Both droplet growth models capture qualitatively the pressure increases due to sudden heat release by the non-equilibrium condensation. However the agreement between computed and experimental pressure distributions is better for the two-layer model. The droplet diameter calculated by this model also agrees well with the experimental value, whereas that predicted by the free molecular model is too small. Condensing flows in a steam turbine cascade are calculated at different Mach numbers and inlet superheat conditions and are compared with experiments. Static pressure traverses downstream from the blade and pressure distributions on the blade surface agree well with experimental results in all cases. Once again, droplet diameters computed with the two-layer model give best agreement with the experiments. Droplet sizes are found to vary across the blade pitch due to the significant variation in expansion rate. Flow patterns including oblique shock waves and condensation-induced pressure increases are also presented and are similar to those shown in the experimental Schlieren photographs. Finally, calculations are presented for periodically unsteady condensing flows in a low expansion rate, convergent-divergent (Laval) nozzle. Depending on the inlet stagnation subcooling, two types of self-excited oscillations appear: a symmetric mode at lower inlet subcooling and an asymmetric mode at higher subcooling. Plots of oscillation frequency versus inlet sub-cooling exhibit a hysteresis loop, in accord with observations made by other researchers for moist air flow. Copyright © 2006 by ASME.

Finite element analysis of compressor disc heat transfer using the transient conduction method with sparse boundary collocation points

Surface temperature measurements from two discs of a gas turbine compressor rig are used as boundary conditions for the transient conduction solution (inverse heat transfer analysis). The disc geometry is complex, and so the finite element method is used. There are often large radial temperature gradients on the discs, and the equations are therefore solved taking into account the dependence of thermal conductivity on temperature. The solution technique also makes use of a multigrid algorithm to reduce the solution time. This is particularly important since a large amount of data must be analyzed to obtain correlations of the heat transfer. The finite element grid is also used for a network analysis to calculate the radiant heat transfer in the cavity formed between the two compressor discs. The work discussed here proved particularly challenging as the disc temperatures were only measured at four different radial locations. Four methods of surface temperature interpolation are examined, together with their effect on the local heat fluxes. It is found that the choice of interpolation method depends on the available number of data points. Bessel interpolation gives the best results for four data points, whereas cubic splines are preferred when there are considerably more data points. The results from the analysis of the compressor rig data show that the heat transfer near the disc inner radius appears to be influenced by the central throughflow. However, for larger radii, the heat transfer from the discs and peripheral shroud is found to be consistent with that of a buoyancy-induced flow.

热学微流控系统中瞬态相变传热研究

微尺度相变传热广泛存在于微反应器、微型燃料电池、微蒸发器、微冷凝器、微热管、微汽泡执行器等微流控器件中，研究微流控系统中的相变问题对于微流控器件的设计和运行具有重要的科学意义。本文针对三类典型的微尺度相变问题，即微尺度流动沸腾、微尺度流动凝结以及微加热器上的汽泡动力学进行了深入细致的研究，实验研究中所采用的实验件均为标准MEMS微加工工艺制作，克服了常规机械加工所造成的表面粗糙度的影响。 考虑到微流控系统中大量应用交叉型、弯曲型等复杂结构的微通道，在微尺度流动沸腾研究中，设计了一种具有交错微通道结构的微流控芯片，并以丙酮为工质，对该芯片内的流动沸腾进行了研究。发现了周期为毫秒量级微时间尺度的流型结构，整个周期包括单相液体充液、两相分层流以及部分蒸干的液膜流三个阶段；在单个微通道区域，由于蒸发动量力的作用，液膜沿流动方向呈非均匀分布，蒸干首先发生在上游；由于液相弗劳德数较小，导致微通道中依然存在分层流流型。由于毕渥数较小，芯片背面温度几乎与芯片内壁面温度保持同步变化。虽然红外热像仪的响应频率较低，但仍然可以鉴别出由于流型周期性转换导致的壁面温度脉动。 在微尺度流动凝结换热研究中，为便于获取凝结过程的动态流动特性，设计了一种低高宽比的单微通道，并以水为工质，对该微通道中的流动凝结换热进行了研究。实验中采取了空气自然对流冷却和 水强制对流冷却两种冷却强度。研究发现，该微通道中的凝结换热呈周期性，其周期在毫秒量级。在通道上游入口处，存在一个呈准静止状态的长汽弹，汽弹前端周期性脱离汽泡。增加冷却强度会使汽泡的脱离频率增大，脱离直径减小；长汽弹前端周期性脱离汽泡是由于汽液界面具有较大的韦伯数。汽泡在该微通道内的运动过程中直径基本不变是由于汽泡在通道内的滞留时间远小于汽泡完全冷凝所需的总时间。 为澄清并联通道的多通道效应对微尺度凝结换热的影响，作者设计了由三个矩形通道组成的并联微通道冷凝器。研究发现，通道中的流型结构与单通道凝结过程类似，均为上游呈准静止状态的长汽弹和下游周期性的汽泡脱离。在中间通道和侧通道中，总共发现了三种不同的汽泡脱离模式，即单汽丝断裂模式、双汽丝同步断裂模式以及双汽丝非同步断裂模式。多通道效应主要表现在由于硅基固体导热的影响，三个通道中具有不同的温度分布，中间通道的温度关于其中心线成对称分布，而两侧通道中的高温区域均靠向中间通道。虽然硅具有良好的导热性，整个硅基上的温差很小，但在微尺度下，小温差依然可以导致较大的温度梯度，造成中间通道的双汽丝关于其中心线成对称分布，并且总是发生同步断裂；侧通道中的双汽丝偏向中间通道，并且在靠近中间通道的一侧汽丝总是首先发生断裂。由于温度梯度引起的Maragnoni对流效应，侧通道中的汽泡脱离后便靠向高温侧。 在微汽泡动力学研究中，设计了一种尺寸为 的Pt薄膜微加热器，研究了脉冲控制参数对微加热器上汽泡动力学特性的影响。研究发现在该微加热器上发生汽泡核化时，核化温度均达到液体的过热极限，因此为均质核化过程。在不同的脉冲控制参数下，存在三类不同的汽泡动力学特性，即（1）汽泡爆炸性生长和冷凝以及汽泡二次生长；（2）汽泡爆炸性生长继而分裂、吸引并聚合；（3）汽泡振荡生长而后持续生长并最终达到稳定状态。在第（1）类中，汽泡二次生长是由于脉冲加热过程中在玻璃基片上储存了热量；在第（2）类中，汽泡冷凝过程中的Marangoni效应导致分裂后的汽泡互相吸引并最终聚合。在第（3）类中，汽泡尺寸最终达到稳定是由于汽泡内蒸汽的发生量与汽液界面上蒸汽的凝结量相等。 本文的研究将为微反应器、微型燃料电池、微换热器、微汽泡执行器等相变微流控系统的设计和运行提供科学指导。

Multi-channel effect of condensation flow in a micro triple-channel condenser

Multi-channel effect is important to understand transport phenomenon in phase change systems with parallel channels. In this paper, visualization studies were performed to study the multi-channel effect in a silicon triple-channel condenser with an aspect ratio of 0.04. Saturated water vapor was pumped into the microcondenser, which was horizontally positioned. The condenser was cooled by the air natural convention heat transfer in the air environment. Flow patterns are either the annular flow at high inlet vapor pressures, or a quasi-stable elongated bubble at the microchannel upstream followed by a detaching or detached miniature bubble at smaller inlet vapor pressures. The downstream miniature bubble was detached from the elongated bubble tip induced by the maximum Weber number there. It is observed that either a single vapor thread or dual vapor threads are at the front of the elongated bubble. A miniature bubble is fully formed by breaking up the vapor thread or threads. The transient vapor thread formation and breakup process is exactly symmetry against the centerline of the center channel. In side channels, the Marangoni effect induced by the small temperature variation over the channel width direction causes the vapor thread formation and breakup process deviating from the side channel centerline and approaching the center channel. The Marangoni effect further forces the detached bubble to rotate and approach the center channel, because the center channel always has higher temperatures, indicating the multi-channel effect.

快重离子辐照引起Ni/SiO2界面原子混合及相变研究

Ni/SiO2 interface were irradiated at room temperature with 308 MeV Xe ions to 1×1012,5×1012 Xe/cm2 and 853 MeV Pb ions to 5×1011 Pb/cm2,respectively.These samples were analyzed using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry(RBS) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy(XRD),from which the intermixing and phase change were investigated.The obtained results show that both Xe-and Pb-ions could induce diffusion of Ni atoms to SiO2 substrates and result in intermixing of Ni with SiO2.Furthermore,1.0×1012 Xe/cm2 irradiat...中文摘要：在室温下用308 MeV的Xe离子和853 MeV的Pb离子辐照Ni/SiO2样品,用卢瑟福背散射和X射线衍射技术对样品进行了分析。通过分析Ni/SiO2样品中元素成分分布和结构随离子辐照剂量和电子能损的变化,探索了离子辐照在Ni/SiO2样品中引起的界面原子混合与结构相变现象。实验结果显示,Xe和Pb离子辐照均能引起明显的Ni原子向SiO2基体的扩散并导致界面附近Ni,Si和O原子的混合。实验观测到低剂量Xe离子辐照可产生NiSi2相,而高剂量Xe离子辐照则导致了Ni3Si和NiO相的形成。根据热峰模型,Ni原子的扩散和新相的形成可能由沿离子入射路径强电子激发引起的瞬间热峰过程驱动。

Modification of C-doped a-SiO2 after Swift Heavy-Ion Irradiation

Amorphous SiO2 (a-SiO2) thin films were thermally grown on single-crystalline silicon. These a-SiO2/Si samples were first implanted (C-doped) with 100-keV carbon ion at room temperature (RT) at a dose of 5.0 x 10(17) C-ions/cm(2) and were then irradiated at RT by using 853 MeV Pb ions at closes of 5.0 x 10(11), 1.0 x 10(12), 2.0 x 10(12) and 5.0 x 10(12) Pb-ions/cm(2), respectively. The microstructures and the photoluminescence (PL) properties of these samples induced by Pb ions were investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. We found that high-energy Pb-ion irradiation could induce the formation of a new phase and a change in the PL property of C-doped a-SiO2/Si samples. The relationship between the observed phenomena and the ion irradiation parameters is briefly discussed.

Preparation and characterization of microencapsulated hexadecane used for thermal energy storage

Polyurea microcapsules about 2.5 mum in diameter containing phase change material for thermal energy storage application were synthesized and characterized by interfacial polycondensation method with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and ethylenediamine as monomers in an emulsion system. Hexadecane was used as a phase change material and OP, which is nonionic surfactant, and used as an emulsifier. The chemical structure and thermal behavior of the microcapsules were investigated by FTIR and thermal analysis respectively. The results show encapsulated hexadecane has a good potential as a solar energy storage material.

Microencapsulation of n-eicosane as energy storage material

For heat energy storage application, polyurea. microcapsules containing phase change material, n-eicosane, were synthesized by using interfacial polymerization method with toluene- 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) and diethylenetriamine (DETA) as monomers in an emulsion system. Poly(ethylene glycol)octyl-phenyl ether (OP), a nonionic surfactant, was the emulsifier for the system. The experimental result indicates that TDI was reacted with DETA in a mass ratio of 3 to 1. FT-IR spectra confirm the formation of wall material, polyurea, from the two monomers, TDI and DETA. Encapsulation efficiency of n-eicosane is about 75%. Microcapsule of n-eicosane melts at a temperature close to that of n-eicosane, while its stored heat energy varies with core material n-eicosane when wall material fixed. Thermo-gravimetric analysis shows that core material n-eicosane, micro-n-eicosane and wall material polyurea can withstand temperatures up to 130, 170 and 250 degreesC, respectively.
