Logarithmic decrease of adhesion force with lateral dynamic revealed by an AFM cantilever at different humidities

Adhesion forces between a tipless cantilever and an Au film were determined to investigate the influence of lateral velocity by recording force curves with an atomic force microscope at 20%–90% relative humidities. The sample was moved laterally, forth and back, with a frequency of 0.001–100 Hz and scan distances of 0.8, 8, and 80 μm to achieve a velocity ranging over 7 orders of magnitude. Experimental results show that at low lateral velocities (between 1.6 nm/s and 1–10 μm/s), the adhesion force either increases or decreases or remains stable with the lateral velocity without a certain characteristic trend. However, after a critical velocity, the adhesion force decreases logarithmically with the lateral velocity (between 1–10 and 16,000 μm/s). The decreasing magnitude can be as large as 97.3% of the maximum adhesion force. This decrease is well-explained by the contact time dependence of water bridges formed by capillary condensation.     

考虑速度滑移的多孔质静压气体轴承静特性

对于多孔质材料内的气体流动,基于Darcy定律建立其理论模型,并建立气膜间隙流场的雷诺方程,考虑速度滑移修正方程;将上述2个区域的压力分布方程进行耦合,通过有限元方法对耦合后的压力分布方程进行离散化,用超松弛迭代求解出气膜内各节点的压力分布,分析速度滑移对多孔质静压气体轴承静特性的影响。结果表明,考虑速度滑移所计算的气膜压力分布变化平稳过渡,没有较大的突变。计算轴承的承载力及刚度,结果显示在气密间隙小于15μm时,随着气膜厚度的增大偏心导致的压差增大使承载力不断增大;且当速度滑移系数小于0.1时,速度滑移对轴承承载力及刚度有较大的影响。     

组合赋权的TOPSIS在冲击地压危险性评价中的应用

为了合理准确地评价煤矿冲击地压危险性,在现有评价冲击地压危险性实例的基础上,从煤矿地质因素和开采因素2个方面,选取10个主要的影响指标,利用熵权法和指标相关性权重法分别计算影响冲击地压危险性的各评价指标权重,再根据组合赋权的方法得出各指标的综合权重,构建基于逼近理想解理论的冲击地压危险性评价模型。以重庆砚石台煤矿为例,选取20组评价冲击地压危险性样本数据进行分析,确定评价冲击地压危险性的最优和最劣状况,然后计算出各个评价方案与最优和最劣状况的距离,最后综合最优与最劣距离,确定评价对象的相对贴近度。应用结果表明:评价结果与实际情况一致,且该模型相较其他模型的评价结果更加科学准确,表明该方法有良好的实用价值。

Fluidization of spherical versus elongated particles: Experimental investigation using magnetic particle tracking

In biomass processing fluidized beds are used to process granular materials where particles typically possess elongated shapes. However, for simplicity, in computer simulations particles are often considered spherical, even though elongated particles experience more complex particle– particle interactions as well as different hydrodynamic forces. The exact effect of these more complex interactions in dense fluidized suspensions is still not well understood. In this study we use the magnetic particle tracking technique to compare the fluidization behavior of spherical particles to that of elongated particles. We found a considerable difference between fluidization behavior of spherical versus elongated particles in the time-averaged particle velocity field as well as in the time-averaged particle rotational velocity profile. Moreover, we studied the effect of fluid velocity and the particle's aspect ratio on the particle's preferred orientation in different parts of the bed, which provides new insight in the fluidization behavior of elongated particles.     

Refractive index of soft contact lens materials measured in packaging solution and standard phosphate buffered saline and the effect on back vertex power calculation

PurposeTo measure the refractive index (RI) of commonly available soft contact lens (CL) materials, their packaging solutions and compare to the manufacturers’ nominal RI. The relationship between RI versus water content, and the effect of inaccurate RI when converting lens power measured in solution to in-air back vertex power were examined.MethodsThe RI of 18 single vision soft CL materials were measured using CLR 12–70 digital refractometer. Three lenses of each material were measured, in their packaging solution and then after soaking in standard phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The RIs of packaging solution were also measured. Accuracy requirements for correct wet to dry power conversion based on thick lens formula were projected.ResultsThe standard deviation between three samples was less than 0.005. The measured RI ranged from 1.3744 ± 0.001–1.4265 ± 0.0004 for PBS soaked and from 1.3739 ± 0.0003–1.4264 ± 0.0024 for packaging solution soaked materials. Comparing nominal with mean measured PBS and packaging solution RIs, 5 and 3 lens materials, respectively, fell outside ISO tolerance. The packaging solution RI of DailiesAquaComfortPlus had the largest difference of 0.0040, compared to RI of standard PBS. For converting lens power measured in PBS to in-air power, the difference between measured and nominal RI of 0.0104 would result in wrongly calculated in-air power 0.99 D for a -6.00 D lens.ConclusionThe CLR 12–70 is reliable and accurate refractometer for the measurement of soft CL materials. Accurate RI measurements are of relevance with increased use of wavefront sensors to measure lens power while they are immersed in solution. Even small errors in solution or material RI can lead to significant errors in converted in-air power. To obtain valid in-air lens power results, measurement conditions must match the material and solution RIs used for the conversion.     

Classification and identification of gas–liquid dispersion states in a jet bubbling reactor

Three gas–liquid dispersion states including flooding, loading, and complete dispersion are observed sequentially in a jet bubbling reactor with an increase of the liquid jet velocity at the nozzle outlet (u_j). The gas–liquid dispersion states are identified through the slope (k) of the curve of fluctuation distribution index (FI) versus u_j as follows: (a) under the flooding, k = 0; (b) under the loading, k > 0; (c) under the complete dispersion, k < 0. In particular, the u_j at the transition points from flooding to loading and from loading to complete dispersion are referred to flooding jet velocity (u_jf, the transition point between k = 0 and k > 0) and complete dispersion jet velocity (u_jcd, the transition point from k > 0 to k < 0), respectively. The average relative deviations of the u_j at the transition points obtained through the acoustic emission measurement and visual observation are less than 5%.

Novel cheese with vegetal rennet and microbial transglutaminase: Effect of storage on consumer acceptability,sensory and instrumental properties

The aim of this study was to evaluate the consumer acceptance and preference of a novel cheese coagulated with vegetal rennet and microbial transglutaminase (V + TG) as an alternative for lacto‐vegetarian consumers. The evolution of the sensory and instrumental parameters throughout the storage time was studied. Cheese with animal rennnet and microbial transglutaminase (A + TG), vegetal rennet alone (V) and animal rennet alone (A) were also studied as controls. The consumer test showed that the V + TG cheese was preferred and showed high texture and taste acceptance scores. This cheese could be successful for its sensory acceptance and as an alternative for the lacto‐vegetarian market.
