In-air epitaxy of nanostructures (Aerotaxy) has recently emerged as a viable route for fast, large-scale production. In this study, we use small-angle X-ray scattering to perform direct in-flight characterizations of the first step of this process, i.e., the engineered formation of Au and Pt aerosol nanoparticles by spark generation in a flow of N2 gas. This represents a particular challenge for characterization because the particle density can be extremely low in controlled production. The particles produced are examined during production at operational pressures close to atmospheric conditions and exhibit a lognormal size distribution ranging from 5–100 nm. The Au and Pt particle production and detection are compared. We observe and characterize the nanoparticles at different stages of synthesis and extract the corresponding dominant physical properties, including the average particle diameter and sphericity, as influenced by particle sintering and the presence of aggregates. We observe highly sorted and sintered spherical Au nanoparticles at ultra-dilute concentrations (< 5 × 105 particles/cm3) corresponding to a volume fraction below 3 × 10–10, which is orders of magnitude below that of previously measured aerosols. We independently confirm an average particle radius of 25 nm via Guinier and Kratky plot analysis. Our study indicates that with high-intensity synchrotron beams and careful consideration of background removal, size and shape information can be obtained for extremely low particle concentrations with industrially relevant narrow size distributions.
The equilibrium reaction 3'(Fe, Co)O'( ss ) +1/2O2 ( g ) ⇄ (Fe, Co)3O4( ss ) was studied in the temperature range 970 to 1370 K for seven different total compositions of molar ratios 0.5 < Fe/(Fe + Co) ≤ 1.0. The equilibrium pressures of oxygen were determined by using galvanic cells incorporating calcia stabilized zirconia as solid electrolyte and the Fe/Co ratios in the solid-solution phases by wavelength dispersive spectrometry microprobe analyses. The activities of 'FeO' in the cobaltowüstite phase were then derived from the experimental results obtained. 相似文献
An experimental investigation of heat transfer and pressure drop from a new type of corrugated channels is presented. The investigation has been carried out for Reynolds numbers in the range of for one corrugated and one smooth channel. It is found that the heat transfer from the corrugated channel is up to 3.5 times higher than for the smooth one. The pressure drop is however large (5 – 6 times the value of a smooth channel) and it is suggested that the corrugation height and length should be altered in order to balance the increases in heat transfer and pressure drop. 相似文献
Addresses issues related to partial measurement invariance using a tutorial approach based on the {lisrel} confirmatory factor analytic model. Specifically, we demonstrate procedures for (a) using "sensitivity analyses" to establish stable and substantively well-fitting baseline models, (b) determining partially invariant measurement parameters, and (c) testing for the invariance of factor covariance and mean structures, given partial measurement invariance. We also show, explicitly, the transformation of parameters from an all-X to an all-Y model specification, for purposes of testing mean structures. These procedures are illustrated with multidimensional self-concept data from low (n?=?248) and high (n?=?582) academically tracked high school adolescents.

Due to the growing importance of width control in strip and plate mills, edge rolling is currently an im-portant process in
hot rolling mills. Research in edge rolling has been carried out, and in the present ar-ticle, models for roll force, torque,
and lever arm coefficient are derived using the upper bound method. A simple, kinematically admissible deformation zone and
velocity field, independent of friction in the roll gap, is proposed, and the energy dissipation rate is derived. The formula
for energy dissipation rate has, in practice, no limitation because all edge rolling geometries are safely in the area where
the formula is valid. Roll force and torque are derived by means of two independent integrals. Thus, the lever arm coef-ficient
is evaluated from the expressions for roll force and torque using conventional rolling theory. Roll-ing trials report good
agreement with theory. Measured roll forces are similar to calculated forces. Furthermore, the shape of the dogbone that arises
during edge rolling is in fairly good agreement with the calculated dogbone shape. Deviations are due to the deviation from
ideally plastic material in the ex-periments. Also, the strain distribution over the dogbone is similar to the proposed deformation
zone. Thus, a new formula has been developed to a stage that it can be implemented in width control systems for edge rolling
stands in hot strip and plate mills.相似文献
It has been confirmed that the principal products formed in the oxidation of methyl oleate by oxygen under a variety of conditions are predominantlytrans hydroperoxides. However no inversion of the double bond occurs in unoxidized oleate. Hence the conversion ofcis totrans double bonds and peroxide formation occur together in the same molecules.
The autoxidation of methyl linoleate at low temperature yields predominantlycis,trans conjugated hydroperoxides. Autoxidation at 25°C., oxidation catalyzed by visible light, or ultraviolet light and copper soap catalyzed oxidation at temperatures appreciably above 0°C., lead to the formation primarily oftrans,trans conjugated hydroperoxides. The inversion of the second double bond in this case appears to be independent of the peroxide-forming reactions.
The photochlorophyll oxidation of methyl linoleate leads to the formation of some unconjugated hydroperoxides, some of which containtrans double bonds.
Under all of the conditions employed in the present investigation, the oxidation of methyl oleate and linoleate led primarily to the formation of monomeric peroxides which retained most of the unsaturation of the parent compound.
A photocrosslinking precess for polyethylene and its industrial irradiation apparatus has recently been developed and used successfully in the manufactre of thin wall crosslinked polyethylene-insulated wires. Polyethylene (PE) resin with the desired amounts of additives, such as photoinitiator, multifunctional crosslinker, and antioxidant is mixe homogeneously. The amixture of PE is granulated, and then extruded on a conductor wire. The coated PE layer in the melt is subsequently irradiated in a specially designed UV irradiation apparatus for 5 to 10 s. The studies show that the photocrosslinked PE-insulation high voltage television wires produced by this new technique possess excellent electrical and mchanical properties and much lower operating cost compared with wires produced by the electron beam crosslinking technique. 相似文献
