Nonlinear asymptotic theory of hypersonic flow past a circular cone

Summary The hypersonic small-disturbance theory is reexamined in this study. A systematic and rigorous approach is proposed to obtain the nonlinear asymptotic equation from the Taylor-Maccoll equation for hypersonic flow past a circular cone. Using this approach, consideration is made of a general asymptotic expansion of the unified supersonic-hypersonic similarity parameter together with the stretched coordinate. Moreover, the successive approximate solutions of the nonlinear hypersonic smalldisturbance equation are solved by iteration. Both of these approximations provide a closed-form solution, which is suitable for the analysis of various related flow problems. Besides the velocity components, the shock location and other thermodynamic properties are presented. Comparisons are also made of the zeroth-order with first-order approximations for shock location and pressure coefficient on the cone surface, respectively. The latter (including the nonlinear effects) demonstrates better correlation with exact solution than the zeroth-order approximation. This approach offers further insight into the fundamental features of hypersonic small-disturbance theory.Notation a speed of sound - H unified supersonic-hypersonic similarity parameter, - K hypersonic similarity parameter, M - M freestream Mach number - P pressure - T temperature - S entropy - u, v radial, polar velocities - V freestream velocity - shock angle - cone angle - density - density ratio, /() - ratio of specific heats - polar angle - stretched polar angle, / - (), (), () gage functions     

Specific Heat of LaMnO3 + δ at 50 K ≤ T ≤ 160 K

We have developed a shell model, which includes the long-range coulomb, van der Waals interaction, and the short-range Hafemeister–Flygare repulsive interaction operative up to second neighbor atom to study the cohesive and thermal properties of LaMnO_{3 +} . The results on cohesive energy obtained by us are in good agreement with that of calculated value by DeSouza et. al. (R. A. DeSouza, M. S. Islam, and E. I. Tiffee, J. Mater. Chem. 9, 1621 (1999)). In addition, we have also calculated molecular force constant (f), compressibility (), restrahlen frequency (_o), Debye temperature (_D), and the low temperature specific heat at 50 K T 160 K. Our results on Debye temperature and specific heat for the temperature range 50 K T 160 K are closer to the recently measured data with an automated quasi-adiabatic pulse technique.     

Thermal transport properties of helium near the superfluid transition. II. Dilute3He-4He mixtures in the superfluid phase

Measurements of the average thermal conductivity _exp hQ/T and of the thermal relaxation time to reach steady-state equilibrium conditions are reported in the superfluid phase for dilute mixtures of³He in⁴He. Hereh is the cell height,Q is the heat flux, andT is the temperature difference across the fluid layer. The measurements were made over the impurity range 2×10^–9<X(³He)<3×10^–2 and with heat fluxes 0.3<Q<160 µW/cm². Assuming the boundary resistanceR _b , measured forX<10^–5, to be independent ofX over the whole range ofX, a calculation is given for _exp. ForQ smaller than a well-defined critical heat fluxQ _c (X) X ^0.9, _exp is independent of Q and can be identified with the local conductivity _eff, which is found to be independent of the reduced temperature = (T–T)/T for –10^–2. Its extrapolated value at T is found to depart forX10^–3 from the prediction X ^–1 , tending instead to a weaker divergence X ^–a witha0.08. A finite conductivity asX tends to zero is not excluded by the data, however. ForQ >Q _c (X), a nonlinear regime is entered. ForX10^–6, the measurements with the available temperature resolution are limited to the nonlinear conditions, but can be extrapolated into the linear regime forX2×10^–7. The results for _exp(Q),Q _c (X), and _eff(XX) are found to be internally consistent, as shown by comparison with a theory by Behringer based on Khalatnikov's transport equations. Furthermore, the observed relaxation times (X) in the linear regime are found to be consistent forX>10^–5 with the hydrodynamic calculations using the measured _eff(X). ForX<10^–5, a faster relaxation mechanism than predicted seems to dominate. The transport properties in the nonlinear regimes are presented and unexplained observations are discussed.     

Thermal Conductivity of the Four-Leg Spin-Ladder System La2Cu2O5 Single Crystal

We have investigated the magnetic susceptibility, , and the thermal conductivity, , in magnetic fields for the four-leg spin-ladder system La₂Cu₂O₅ single crystal. The in a magnetic field parallel to the ladder exhibits a kink at 130 K in correspondence to the magnetic ordering. The along the ladder exhibits a peak at 25 K and a shoulder at 14 K, which are probably related to the thermal conductivity due to magnons, _magnon, and that due to phonons, _phonon, respectively. The perpendicular to the ladder, on the other hand, exhibits only one broad peak related to _phonon. The observed large anisotropy of has been explained based upon the anisotropy of _magnon.

Sound propagation in 3He-4He mixtures near the superfluid transition

Measurements of the acoustic attenuation and dispersion in liquid ³He-⁴He mixtures near the superfluid transition T (x) are reported. The frequency range is /2gp=1–45 MHz and the ³He mole fraction X of the mixtures is 0.007, 0.05, 0.15, and 0.36. Comparisons are made with the measurements of Buchal and Pobell for similar mixtures obtained in the kHz region, and on the whole, the consistency between the two experiments is very satisfactory. An analysis is then performed using both the kHz and MHz data. In the normal phase, where the energy dissipation is caused by order parameter fluctuations having a lifetime _F , the attenuation data can all be scaled according to the expression = (T )f(_F. Here (T )^1+y, with y being a function of the mole fraction X and _F(T–T )^–x, with x increasing weakly with X. In the superfluid phase, we attempt a similar scaling representation, which is found to be fairly successful, but where x(T\s-T ) is roughly 15% larger than x(T>T ). In the superfluid phase we also analyze the attenuation data, assuming the additivity of relaxation and fluctuation-dissipation mechanism, and discuss the relaxation times so derived. In contrast to the attenuation, the dispersion data cannot be brought satisfactorily into a scaling representation. However, at T , we find U()-U(0)^y as predicted by Kawasaki, where y is in good agreement with the values from attenuation experiments.Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.     

On internal stress and activation volume in polymers

The two-site model is developed for the analysis of stress relaxation data. It is shown that the product of d In (– )/d and (- _i) is constant where is the applied stress, _i is the (deformation-induced) internal stress and = d/dt. The quantity d In ( )/d is often presented in the literature as the (experimental) activation volume, and there are many examples in which the above relationship with (- _i) holds true. This is in apparent contradiction to the arguments that lead to the association of the quantity d In (– )/d with the activation volume, since these normally start with the premise that the activation volume is independent of stress. In the modified theory presented here the source of this anomaly is apparent. Similar anomalies arise in the estimation of activation volume from creep or constant strain rate tests and these are also examined from the standpoint of the site model theory. In the derivation presented here full account is taken of the site population distribution and this is the major difference compared to most other analyses. The predicted behaviour is identical to that obtained with the standard linear solid. Consideration is also given to the orientation-dependence of stress-aided activation.

A dilatometric method to measure the thermal diffusivity of nonmetallic liquids

A new method to measure the thermal diffusivity of liquids is presented. It requires determination of the time dependence of the thermal expansion of the liquid when it is subjected to a heat source at the top of the cell containing the liquid. The high accuracy of the method (about 3%) is due to an essential reduction of convective currents and also to the absence of temperature detectors, which generally introduce unwanted perturbations on the thermal Field.Nomenclature Thermal conductivity - c Specific heat - Density - c = specific heat x density - h Newton coefficient - Thermal diffusivity - T, 0 Temperature - tV Electric signal - Calibration coefficient - _exp, _th Volume change of the liquid     

Shear viscosity of liquid4He and3He-4He mixtures,especially near the superfluid transition

High-resolution measurements of are reported for liquid⁴He and³He-⁴He mixtures at saturated vapor pressures between 1.2 and 4.2 K with particular emphasis on the superfluid transition. Here is the mass density, the shear viscosity, and in the superfluid phase both and are the contributions from the normal component of the fluid ( _n and _n ). The experiments were performed with a torsional oscillator operating at 151 Hz. The mole fraction X of³He in the mixtures ranged from 0.03 to 0.65. New data for the total density and data for _n by various authors led to the calculation of . For⁴He, the results for are compared with published ones, both in the normal and superfluid phases, and also with predictions in the normal phase both over a broad range and close to T. The behavior of and of in mixtures if presented. The sloped/dT near T and its change at the superfluid transition are found to decrease with increasing³He concentration. Measurements at one temperature of versus pressure indicate a decreasing dependence of on molar volume asX(³He) increases. Comparison of at T, the minimum of _n in the superfluid phase and the temperature of this minimum is made with previous measurements. Thermal conductivity measurements in the mixtures, carried out simultaneously with those of , revealed no difference in the recorded superfluid transition, contrary to earlier work. In the appendices, we present data from new measurements of the total density for the same mixtures used in viscosity experiments. Furthermore, we discuss the data for _n determined for⁴He and for³He-⁴He mixtures, and which are used in the analysis of the data.     

Complex microstructural changes in as-cast eutectoid Zn-Al alloy

Phase transformations and microstructural changes of an as-cast eutectoid Zn-Al alloy (ZnAl₂₂Cu₂) were investigated during isothermal holding. The typical dendritic structures consisted of _s phase as a core with the edge of decomposed _s phase and decomposed _s in the interdendritic regions. A series of complex phase transformations was observed. Both decompositions of _s and _s were determined at an early stage of ageing and a four-phase transformation, _f+T+, was observed at the boundaries of _f phase and the phase, instead of clearly observed at the boundaries of phase, in a solution-treated Zn-Al alloy during prolonged ageing.

Phase decomposition in extruded Zn-Al based alloy

Ageing characteristics of an extruded eutectoid Zn-Al based alloy were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The extruded alloy consisted of Al rich phase and Zn rich _E and phases. The original cast eutectoid Zn-Al alloy was extruded at 250 °C. Both supersaturated _s and _s phase decomposed during extrusion and appeared as fine and coarse lamellar structures. The _E and phases particles formed in the original interdendritic region. It was found that two Zn rich phases _E and decomposed sequentially during ageing at 170, 140 °C. The decomposition of the _E phase occurred as a discontinuous precipitation in the early stage of ageing and the decomposition of the phase took place in a four phase transformation: + T + in the prolonged ageing. Two typical morphologies of the decomposition of the Zn rich phases _E and were distinctive in back-scattered scanning electron microscopy.
