Second order velocity slip and thermal jump of Cu–water nanofluid over a cone in the presence of nonlinear radiation and nonuniform heat source/sink using homotopy analysis method

The purpose of the present paper is to explore the second order slip effects on nanofluid flow over a vertical cone. The effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and nonuniform heat source/sink are also taken into account. Water with copper nanoparticles is used as nanofluid in this investigation. The governing partial differential equations for the flow are converted into ordinary differential equations by using transformations and then are solved using homotopy analysis method. The influence of various important parameters on velocity, temperature, skin‐friction, and Nusselt number are presented through graphs. Results indicate that the velocity and magnitude of skin friction decrease with a rise in first and second order velocity slips. A raise in either first or second order temperature jump causes a fall in temperature. Nonlinear radiation increases the more rapidly when compared to the linear radiation case.

A general n-fractal aperiodic zone plate

We propose a general n-fractal aperiodic zone plate generating a beam with the first-order foci with more chosen positions. The construction method of the general n-fractal aperiodic zone plate can apply to many aperiodic zone plates, e.g. fractal, Thue-Morse and Fibonacci zone plates, and the general n-fractal aperiodic zone plates can generate more adjustable first-order foci. Parameters of the n-fractal aperiodic zone plate such as the substitution rule and the fractal order are examined and found not to affect the fractal distribution of the first-order foci. The more adjustable first-order foci generated by the general n-fractal aperiodic zone plate have been verified with both simulations and experiments.     

Study of physicochemical properties of flutamide-loaded Ocimum basilicum microspheres with ex vivo mucoadhesion and in vitro drug release

Drug which shows extensive first pass effect is difficult task that, needs to be solved by formulators in the pharmaceutical science. The low oral bioavailability (49%) of flutamide may be due to poor wettability, low aqueous solubility and extensive first pass effect. The aim of present investigation was to prepare flutamide loaded microspheres and incorporate it into suppositories for rectal delivery to avoid first pass effect and enhance residence time. Flutamide loaded mucoadhesive microspheres of Ocimum Basilicum mucilage (OBM) were prepared using spray drying and characterized by percent production yield, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, DSC, SEM, XRPD, in vitro drug release and stability studies. Moreover, ex vivo mucoadhesion was investigated using falling liquid film technique to determine the adhesion of microspheres to sheep rectal mucosa. The microspheres had nearly spherical shape and size about 2.53?μm. The encapsulation efficiency and mucoadhesion of optimized formulation MBF10 were found to be 69.6?±?2.3% and 89.01?±?2.18%, respectively. Percent CDR of optimized flutamide loaded mucoadhesive microspheres was found to be 88.7?±?1.3 at 7?h. In conclusion, OBM microparticles based suppository could be used to deliver drug through rectal delivery.

Novel method of constructing generalized Hoberman sphere mechanisms based on deployment axes

This study proposes a method of constructing type II generalized angulated elements (GAEs II) Hoberman sphere mechanisms on the basis of deployment axes that intersect at one point. First, the constraint conditions for inserting n GAEs II into n deployment axes to form a loop are given. The angle constraint conditions of the deployment axes are obtained through a series of linear equations. Second, the connection conditions of two GAEs II loops that share a common deployable center are discussed. Third, a flowchart of constructing the generalized Hoberman sphere mechanism on the basis of deployment axes is provided. Finally, four generalized Hoberman sphere mechanisms based on a fully enclosed regular hexahedron, arithmetic sequence axes, orthonormal arithmetic sequence axes, and spiral-like axes are constructed in accordance with the given arrangement of deployment axes that satisfy the constraint conditions to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

Study on the interfacial properties of active Ti element/ZrO2 by using first principle calculation

Ti element is an important active element in brazing Zirconia ceramic (ZrO₂) ceramic. Therefore, the interface bonding mechanism of Ti and ZrO₂ was studied by using first principles calculation. Two kinds of interfaces with different termination and stacking sequence were established, and the interfacial bonding mechanism was studied using work of adhesion (W_ad), electronic behavior and interface energy. The results show that in the O-terminated interface, Ti and O form a strong ion-covalent bond at the interface, and the W_ad can reach 13.61 J/m². In the Zr-terminated interface, Ti and Zr form a metal-covalent bond, and the W_ad is 5.56 J/m². At a temperature of 1123K, when the lnP_O2 is larger than e⁻¹⁷, the O-rich interface is more stable in thermodynamics. Therefore, under the experimental condition, the interface tends to form Ti-O compounds when ZrO₂ is brazed using Ag(Ti) filler metal.     

Actuator fault estimation based on generalized learning observer for quasi-linear parameter varying systems

This article presents a generalized learning observer (GLO) design for the simultaneous estimation of states and actuator faults for polytopic quasi-linear parameter varying systems. The proposed approach is based on the use of a GLO, which generalized the existing results on the proportional-integral observers. Conditions of existence and stability of the observer are given through the stability analysis in the sense of Lyapunov. Its design is obtained in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by simulation in a one-link-flexible joint robot system.     

Integrated study of experiment and first‐principles computation for the characterization of a corium type ZrO8 complex in a Zr‐doped fluorite UO2

We, for the first time, observe ZrO₈ complex in Zr‐doped UO₂, which is a corium structure, using experimental characterization integrated with first‐principle computational validation. Atomic level structure of U_1?yZr_yO₂ pellets (y = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1) is identified using Raman spectroscopy measurement and X‐ray diffraction pattern analysis. The lattice constants shrink with increasing Zr doping levels, which consistently represents in the positive shift of T_2g Raman vibration peak around 445 cm^?1. More interestingly, conventionally unknown new Raman peak appears around 598 cm^?1, which has not been observed in neither a pure ZrO₂ nor UO₂ doped with tetravalent elements other than Zr. We unveil that the new peak originates from ZrO₈‐type complex formed on the fluorite UO₂. Our study provides precise understanding on the formation mechanisms and material properties of the corium in the hypervalent oxide.
