NUMERICAL STUDY OF RADIATIVE TRANSPORT HYDRODYNAMICS,AND CHEMICAL KINETICS IN A PHOTODISSOCIATION ATOMIC IODINE AMPLIFIER

Index-of-refraction changes induced by hydrodynamic activity have been blamed for poor beam quality in photodissociation lasers. Until recently, the pump field, hydrodynamics, chemical kinetics, and the losing field have been decoupled in theoretical models because of the wide range of time scales on which they act. Although these mechanisms occur at varying time scales ranging over seven orders of magnitude (subnanosecond to milliseconds), each mechanism strongly affects the others. In this paper we present a model that first couples the pump field, chemical kinetics, and hydrodynamics in the form of implicit and explicit finite-difference equations. We then couple in the laser field to show that index-of-refraction changes induced by radiative transfer degrade peak beam intensity     

Thermal performance of caprylic acid/1-dodecanol eutectic mixture as phase change material (PCM)

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to investigate the thermal properties of caprylic acid, 1-dodecanol and their binary system. The experimental results show that the caprylic acid/1-dodecanol binary system presents eutectic point. The eutectic melting temperature (T_em) is 6.52 °C, and the latent heat of melting of eutectic mixture (ΔH_em) is 171.06 J g⁻¹. The corresponding mass fraction of 1-dodecanol in eutectic mixture is 30%. The eutectic melting temperature and the latent heat of phase change of eutectic mixture have not obvious variations after 60 and 120 thermal cycles, which proves that the eutectic mixture has good thermal stability.     

On Effective Design and Operating Conditions of Desiccant Dehumidification System

The present study investigates the effect of air flowrate on the adsorption systems both numerically and experimentally. Tests are performed with Zeolite 4A adsorbent. The size of test desiccant channel section is 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm, and three test sections in series connections are used as the test section during adsorption and desorption. During adsorption, the inlet pressure is kept at 9 bar while it is reduced to 1.16 bar during desorption. The simulation is first validated with the experimental data. The simulation indicates though a higher airflow during adsorption can produce dry air quickly but may not be able to attain a prescribed very low dew point temperature. Yet lower airflow can dehumidify more moisture and attain much lower dew point but requires substantial time. For the required energy to generate the same dry air flow volume in cyclic operation, it was obvious that a lower flowrate like 150 standard liter per minutes (SLPM) is about 4% lower than that of a higher flowrate of 400 SLPM. For effective regeneration during desorption, a non-uniform heating provided at the first section is proved to be much effective than the uniform heating. It is found that the desiccant loading for only heating at the first section outperforms other arrangements, giving 10% lower desiccant loading than the uniform heating.     

Social capital as a vital resource in flood disaster recovery in Malaysia

This article examines the role of social capital in the form of aid from the private sector, NGOs, universities, the public and others to help flood victims cope with floods. Research methods included collecting primary data via surveys and interviews, published secondary data, participatory observations and focus group discussions. The study finds that social capital builds collaborations and partnerships among disaster organizations, mobilizes the public as disaster volunteers, strengthens community resilience and deepens family ties. Social capital also builds self-reliance, enhances coping and quickens recovery from floods. Hence, formulation and implementation of flood policies and strategies should include and maximize social capital.
