The main goal of this work is to determine experimentally local stretching rate distribution along the limits of methane/air and propane/air flames, using particle image velocimetry (PIV). This method allows obtaining necessary moving flame velocity fields in a standard flammability column and also recognition of the flame structures. For this purpose each mixture was seeded with MgO particles (of known size) before entering the tube (column), using a special system. The amount of seeds in the mixture, their dispersion system, and the laser power producing a sheet of light penetrating the column were carefully chosen (so as not to disrupt the combustion or flame propagation in it). After a learning process, this finally it allowed us obtain good-quality velocity field images in the region of concern, images acceptable for further processing. The methodology developed for these experiments proved to be reliable and able to supply analyses with repeatable data. On the basis of performed experiments it was possible to derive the flame stretching rate that causes its extinction in both mixtures. 相似文献
The objective of this paper is to present the feasibility of applying Vlasov's theory of thin walled bars to model the behavior of rib-reinforced cantilevered plates. A simple analytical model based on Vlasov's theory is presented and validated against experimental results. It is shown that the presented theoretical method is simple and sufficiently accurate to be used as a design tool. The presented approach is also valid for plates fabricated from composite materials. 相似文献
This study tested a new information-processing explanation of learned helplessness that proposes that an uncontrollable situation produces helplessness symptoms because it is a source of inconsistent, self-contradictory task information during problem-solving attempts. The flow of such information makes hypothesis-testing activity futile. Prolonged and inefficient activity of this kind leads in turn to the emergence of a state of cognitive exhaustion, with accompanying performance deficits. In 3 experiments, Ss underwent informational helplessness training (IHT): They were sequentially exposed to inconsistent task information during discrimination problems. As predicted, IHT was associated with subjective symptoms of irreducible uncertainty and resulted in (a) performance deterioration on subsequent avoidance learning, (b) heightened negative mood, and (c) subjective symptoms of cognitive exhaustion.

Scandium(III) triflate promoted highly selective addition of thiols to functionalized olefins under mild conditions. The addition follows anti‐Markovnikov regioselectivities, which are unusual for Lewis acids‐catalyzed hydrothiolation. This reaction marks broad functional groups tolerance, which opens a beneficial synthetic route to functionalized and biologically active thio‐compounds. This method is broadly applicable and offers a simple work‐up in the green manner.
We discuss the origin of an additional dip other than the charge neutrality point observed in the transfer characteristics of graphene-based field-effect transistors with a Si/SiO2 substrate used as the back-gate. The double dip is proved to arise from charge transfer between the graphene and the metal electrodes, while charge storage at the graphene/SiO2 interface can make it more evident. Considering a different Fermi energy from the neutrality point along the channel and partial charge pinning at the contacts, we propose a model which explains all the features observed in the gate voltage loops. We finally show that the double dip enhanced hysteresis in the transfer characteristics can be exploited to realize graphene-based memory devices. 相似文献
Team automata have been proposed in Ellis (1997) as a formal framework for modeling both the conceptual and the architectural level of groupware systems. Here we define team automata in a mathematically precise way in terms of component automata which synchronizeon certain executions of actions.At the conceptual level, our model serves as a formal framework in whichbasic groupware notions can be rigorously defined and studied.At the architectural level, team automata can be used as building blocksin the design of groupware systems. 相似文献
