Distributed fractional derivative operators can be used for modeling of complex multiscaling anomalous transport, where derivative orders are distributed over a range of values rather than being just a fixed integer number. In this paper, we consider the space-time Petrov–Galerkin spectral method for a two-dimensional distributed-order time-fractional fourth-order partial differential equation. By applying a proper Gauss-quadrature rule to discretize the distributed integral operator, the problem is converted to a multi-term time-fractional equation. Then, the proposed method for solving the obtained equation is based on using Jacobi polyfractonomial, which are eigenfunctions of the first kind fractional Sturm–Liouville problem (FSLP), as temporal basis and Legendre polynomials for the spatial discretization. The eigenfunctions of the second kind FSLP are used as temporal basis in test space. This approach leads to finding the numerical solution of the problem through solving a system of linear algebraic equations. Finally, we provide some examples with smooth solutions and finite regular solutions to numerically demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy, and exponential convergence of the proposed method.
Continuous-flow mixing of pseudoplastic fluids possessing yield stress is a complex phenomenon exhibiting non-ideal flows within the stirred vessels. Electrical resistance tomography (ERT), a non-intrusive technique, was employed to measure the mixing time in the batch mode while dynamic tests were performed to study the mixing system in the continuous mode. This study attempts to explore the effects of the operating conditions and design parameters on the ratio of the residence time (τ) to the mixing time (θ) for the continuous-flow mixing of non-Newtonian fluids. To achieve these objectives, the effects of impeller types (four axial-flow impellers: A310, A315, 3AH, and 3AM; and three radial-flow impellers: RSB, RT, and Scaba), impeller speed (290–754 rpm), fluid rheology (0.5–1.5%, w/v), impeller off-bottom clearance (H/2.7–H/2.1, where H is the fluid height in the vessel), locations of inlet and outlet (configurations: top inlet-bottom outlet and bottom inlet-top outlet), pumping directions of an axial-flow impeller (up-pumping and down-pumping), fluid height in the vessel (T/1.06–T/0.83, where T is the tank diameter), residence time (257–328 s), and jet velocity (0.317–1.66 ms−1) on the ratio of τ to θ were investigated. The results showed that the extent of the non-ideal flows (channeling and dead volume) in the continuous-flow mixing approached zero when the value of τ/θ varied from 8.2 to 24.5 depending on the operating conditions and design parameters. Thus, to design an efficient continuous-flow mixing system for non-Newtonian fluids, the ratio of the residence time to the mixing time should be at least 8.2 or higher. 相似文献
A two‐dimensional mathematical dynamics model is presented to predict coke formation due to thermal cracking inside the tubes of fired heaters on two types of petroleum fluid. The laminar and turbulent flows are analyzed for both petroleum fluids. The second‐order k‐? standard model is adopted to make this mathematical model more accurate than previous models of coke formation. The radial and axial variations for temperature, velocity, and concentration due to the high temperature gradients inside the tubes are considered in the model equations. The finite volume method is the numerical model used to discretize the conservation equations. The proposed model is suitable to predict coke formation inside heater tubes since it indicates operational conditions where coke formation is minimized. 相似文献
Non-biodegradability and disposal problems are the major challenges associated with synthetic plastic packaging. This review article discusses a new generation of biodegradable active and smart packaging based on porous nanomaterials (PNMs), which maintains the quality and freshness of food products while meeting biodegradability requirements. PNMs have recently gained significant attention in the field of food packaging due to their large surface area, peculiar structures, functional flexibility, and thermal stability. We present for the first time the recently published literature on the incorporation of various PNMs into renewable materials to develop advanced, environmentally friendly, and high-quality packaging technology. Various emerging packaging technologies are discussed in this review, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, it provides general information about PNMs, their characterization, and fabrication methods. It also briefly describes the effects of different PNMs on the functionality of biopolymeric films. Furthermore, we examined how smart packaging loaded with PNMs can improve food shelf life and reduce food waste. The results indicate that PNMs play a critical role in improving the antimicrobial, thermal, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of natural packaging materials. These tailor-made materials can simultaneously extend the shelf life of food while reducing plastic usage and food waste. 相似文献

Conventional sliding mode control (SMC) has been extensively applied in controlling spacecrafts because of its appealing characteristics such as robustness and a simple design procedure. Several methods such as second-order sliding modes and discontinuous controllers are applied for the SMC implementation. However, the main problems of these methods are convergence and error tracking in a finite amount of time. This paper combines an improved dynamic sliding mode controller and model predictive controller for spacecrafts to solve the chattering phenomenon in traditional sliding mode control. To this aim, this paper develops dynamic sliding mode control for spacecraft’s applications to omit the chattering issue. The proposed approach shows robust attitude tracking by a set of reaction wheels and stabilizes the spacecraft subject to disturbances and uncertainties. The proposed method improves the performance of the SMC for spacecraft by avoiding chattering. A set of simulation results are provided that show the advantages and improvements of this approach (in some sense) compared to SMC approaches. 相似文献
The reductive benzylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with benzylic halides is reported using a nickel/zinc catalyst system. In addition to benzylic halides, the first report on the addition of benzylic triflates, acetates, tosylates and tritylates to aldehydes is also presented. By this new method a range of alcohols was synthesized efficiently from aldehydes and benzylic substrates at room temperature in moderate to high yields. The mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance make this nickel‐catalyzed process synthetically useful for the synthesis of diverse benzylic alcohols.

CoAl2O4 spinel was successfully synthesized by combustion synthesis method using glycine and urea by 1:1 molar ratio as fuels and sol-gel process using citric acid as a chelating agent. The as-synthesized powders were calcined at desired temperatures to obtain CoAl2O4 spinel as a single phase. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, and differential thermal analysis results revealed that the formation of CoAl2O4 spinel in combustion method needs 300°C higher temperatures than those of sol-gel. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis results revealed that “sol-gel spinel” had nanometric particle size which was smaller than those of “combustion spinel.” Temperature programed reduction with hydrogen and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results declared that there was a little residual cobalt oxide in combustion spinel while there is no oxide resided in “sol-gel spinel.” Consequently, the sol-gel method has more benefit in synthesizing spinel with sulfate precursors than combustion. 相似文献
