Spurious roots in nonlinear waveguide calculations and a new formatfor nonlinear waveguide dispersion equations

The existence of spurious roots in the widely used nonlinear waveguide dispersion equations is demonstrated. The spurious roots exist even when the linear waveguide dispersion equations are written in terms of the sine and cosine functions. The authors compare the similarities between the linear and nonlinear dispersion equations and present a new format of the nonlinear dispersion equations that simplify the numerical calculations and avoid the appearance of spurious roots

Lubrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) chain orientation by carbon nano‐chips in composite tapes

The extraordinary structural properties of graphene and carbon nanotube materials motivate the development of practical methods for their use in fabricating continuous, strong, and tough composite fibers. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/carbon nano‐chip fiber (CNCF) composite tapes with 0.5 wt % loading show that Young's modulus, tensile strength, and toughness are increased by 585%, 653%, and 20%, respectively as compared to the control (PVA) tapes. Nano‐chips exfoliated from the CNCF during processing, lubricate polymer chain alignment, and orientation during drawing, where composite tapes could be drawn to higher draw ratios compared with the control tapes. As a result, the Herman's orientation factor (f) increased from 0.5 (control tape) to 0.8 (composite tape). Theoretical analysis shows ～ 16 vol % of the composite tapes consists of fully oriented PVA chains, which contributes to its exceptional mechanical performance. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

The mechanism for the colour change of iron chromium black pigments in glazes through transmission electron microscopy techniques

Black iron-chromium (Fe-Cr) bearing oxide pigments are generally utilised as effective colourants in a wide variety of applications. However, in the case of their use within ZnO-containing glazes, they yield an undesirable brown colour instead of expected black colour. In order to understand the colour change in this system, we report the use of focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation technique followed by the use of analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterisation techniques. According to the results, the formation of a reaction layer between the pigment and glaze was identified with an average composition of Zn_0.48Fe_0.79Cr_1.32O₄. Additionally, the valance of Fe was determined as 3+ in the pigment grain, whereas 2+ in the reaction layer and the glaze, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the colour change is occurring as result of the valence variation of Fe, the formation of Zn_0.48Fe_0.79Cr_1.32O₄ compound and the outward diffusion of Fe into the glaze.     

A hybrid approach to computing electrostatic forces in fluidized beds of charged particles

In particulate flow devices particles acquire electric charge through triboelectric charging, and resulting electrostatic forces can alter hydrodynamics. To capture this effect, the electrostatic force acting on individual particles in the device should be computed accurately. Electrostatic force is calculated using a hybrid approach consisting of: (1) long‐range contributions from an Eulerian electric field solved using the Poisson equation (2) short‐range contributions calculated using a truncated pairwise sum and (3) a correction to avoid double counting. Euler‐Lagrange simulation of flows incorporating this hybrid approach reveals that bed height oscillations in small fluidized beds of particles with monopolar charge decreases with increasing charge level, which is related to lateral segregation of particles. A ring‐like layer of particles, reported in experimental studies, forms at modestly high charge levels. Beds with equal amounts of positively and negatively charged particles are fluidized in a manner similar to uncharged particles. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 2282–2295, 2016     

Structural,Electrical and Photoresponse Properties of Si-based Diode with Organic Interfacial Layer Containing Novel Cyclotriphosphazene Compound

The electrical and photoresponse properties of Al/p-Si/organic layer/Al diode were investigated. Organic layer containing novel 2,2-bis[spiro(7,8-dioxy- 4-methylcoumarin)]-4,4,6,6-bis[spiro(2’,2”-dioxy-1’,1”- biphenylyl)]cyclotriphosphazene compound was coated by drop casting method on p-Si having ohmic contact. The structural characterization of novel cyclotriphosphazene compound was confirmed by using ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P-NMR, elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The diode exhibits a photoconducting and photodiode behavior under solar light illumination. The electrical parameters such as ideality factor, barrier height and series resistance of the diode were determined from I-V characteristics. It is seen that the photocurrent of the diode under illumination is higher than dark current. Also, the frequency dependence of capacitance (C) and conductance (G) was explained on the basis of interface states. It is evaluated that the hybrid photodiode can be used as a photosensor in organic photodetector applications.     

Threshold Levels for Bromate Formation In Drinking Water

Ozone is a sufficiently strong oxidant to cause the oxidation of bromide ion and formation of bromate ion. In this study, bromate ion formation in a wide variety of drinking water sources was analyzed, with bromate ion formed in all sources under drinking water treatment conditions. Threshold levels for pH, bromide ion concentration, and ozone dose were found to be source-specific. Two non-linear empirical models were developed to predict bromate ion formation; these models are easy to use and require only several water quality and treatment variables. The models were tested against several literature data and a good simulation was found in other bench-scale tests, whereas the model tended to under-predict bromate ion formation in pilot-scale and full-scale programs.     

Triboelectric charging of monodisperse particles in fluidized beds

To investigate the interplay between particle charging and hydrodynamics in fluidized beds, models for triboelectric charging and electrostatic forces were built into a computational fluid dynamics‐discrete element method model. Charge transfer was governed by the difference in effective work function between contacting materials as well as the electric field at the point of contact. Monodisperse particles were fluidized with an effective work function difference between the particles and the conducting walls. For smaller work function differences, hydrodynamics were not changed significantly as compared with an uncharged case. In these simulations, the average charge saturated at a value much lower than the value anticipated based on the work function difference, and a unimodal distribution of charges was observed. For larger work function differences, particles stuck to walls and bed height oscillations due to slugging were less pronounced. For these cases, a bimodal distribution of charges emerged due to effects from strong electric fields. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 1872–1891, 2017
