Applications of textured surfaces on bubble trapping and degassing for microfluidic devices

This paper introduces a passive degassing mechanism using textured surfaces to trap and transport bubbles, and then using hydrophobic porous membranes to vent out bubbles in a microfluidic system. The bubble trapping ability is achieved by creating nanostructures to promote bubble nucleation and coalescence on the sidewalls of KOH-etched concave pits in a silicon substrate. The substrate, which is bonded with a porous membrane, is placed in a liquid system with chemically generated CO₂ bubbles to examine the degassing ability. The results validate that the bubbles can be easily trapped on the surfaces with nanostructures, and then vented through the porous membrane. Our proposed approach possesses the advantage of simple fabrication, great structure robustness, and effective bubble trapping and removing abilities, which show their great potential as economic, passive means of preventing the gas byproducts from blocking surfaces and improving the efficiency of microfluidic systems during operations.     

Integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures with exact frequency constraints

The present paper studies the integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures under natural frequency constraints. It is found that, unlike the conventional compliance-oriented topology optimization problems, the considered problem may be strongly singular in the sense that the corresponding feasible domain may be disconnected and the global optimal solutions are often located at the tips of some separated low dimensional sub-domains when the cross-sectional areas of the structural components are used as design variables. As in the case of stress-constrained topology optimization, this unpleasant behavior may prevent the gradient-based numerical optimization algorithms from finding the true optimal topologies. To overcome the difficulties posed by the strongly singular optima, some particular forms of area/moment of inertia-density interpolation schemes, which can restore the connectedness of the feasible domain, are proposed. Based on the proposed optimization model, the probability of finding the strongly singular optimum with gradient-based algorithms can be increased. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Mixing in the transition flow regime with helical ribbon agitators

The effects of the non-Newtonian properties on the effective deformation rate, mixing and circulation times and flow behaviour have been investigated in the transition flow regime of mixing systems. Based on the equivalent Couette flow, three models are proposed and are shown to predict similar and drastic increases of the effective deformation rate with the impeller rotational speed in the transition regime. The predictions are shown to fit very well data obtained for various non-Newtonian fluids mixed with helical ribbon agitators, and with literature data for anchor, blade turbine and flat disc agitators. The elasticity along with shear-thinning properties appear to have slight effects on the dimensionless mixing and circulation times in the transition regime, whereas their effects in the laminar regime are quite drastic, as reported by others.

ODS替代品生产及发展动向

国内外主要的ODS替代品有HFC—134a、120系列产品、HFC-32、HFC-152a等。其中HFC-134a广泛用于汽车和冰箱行业,全球生产能力达到19.4万t/a,我国市场消费量已经超过1000t/a。目前国内还没有开展全面的ODS替代工作,所以用量不大,几乎全部依赖进口。随着2010年停用ODS期限的临近,国内应从市场调研、产品开发等各方面做好建设ODS替代品项目的工作。     

[Zn(BDC)(H2O)2]n: a novel blue luminescent coordination polymer constructed from BDC-bridged 1-D chains via interchain hydrogen bonds (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)

A novel coordination polymer [Zn(BDC)(H₂O)₂]_n 1 (where BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a=15.09(2) Å, b=5.058(7) Å, c=12.196(16) Å, β=103.62(2)°, , Z=4. The most striking feature of 1 is that it consists of a high-dimensional network structure constructed from BDC-bridged 1-D chains via interchain hydrogen bonds. The coordination sphere of the zinc(II) ion is a distorted tetrahedron completed by four oxygen atoms from two water molecules and two BDC ligands. BDC adopts the bis-monodentated (syn–anti) coordination mode linking two adjacent zinc(II) ions. 1 shows strong blue photoluminescence as the result of the fluorescence from the intraligand emission excited state.
