Mixed convection heat and Mass transfer in a vertical channel with film evaporation

Numerical results are presented for effects of latent heat transport associated with film vaporization on laminar mixed convection heat and mass transfer in a vertical channel with a half channel width b = 0.01 m. The influences of the inlet liquid mass flowrate and wall temperature on the film vaporization and the associated heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined for air-water and air-ethanol systems with gas Reynolds number Re_g = 2000. Predicted results obtained by including transport in the liquid film are contrasted with those where liquid film transport is neglected, showing that the assumption of an extremely thin film made in Lin et al. (1988) and Yan and Lin (1989) is only valid for systems having small liquid mass flow rates. Additionally, it is found that the interfacial heat flux is predominantly determined by latent heat transfer connected with film evaporation.     

Towards evolvable Internet architecture-design constraints and models analysis

There is a general consensus about the success of Internet architecture in academia and industry. However, with the development of diversified application, the existing Internet architecture is facing more and more challenges in scalability, security, mobility and performance. A novel evolvable Internet architecture framework is proposed in this paper to meet the continuous changing application requirements. The basic idea of evolvability is relaxing the constraints that limit the development of the architecture while adhering to the core design principles of the Internet. Three important design constraints used to ensure the construction of the evolvable architecture, including the evolvability constraint, the economic adaptability constraint and the manageability constraint, are comprehensively described. We consider that the evolvable architecture can be developed from the network layer under these design constraints. What＇s more, we believe that the address system is the foundation of the Internet. Therefore, we propose a general address platform which provides a more open and efficient network environment for the research and development of the evolvable architecture.     

A predicted three-dimensional structure of human cytochrome P450: implications for substrate specificity

A three-dimensional structure for human cytochrome P450IA1 waspredicted based on the crystal coordinates of cytochrome P450camfrom Pseudomonas putida. As there was only 15% residue identitybetween the two enzymes, additional information was used toestablish an accurate sequence alignment that is a prerequisitefor model building. Twelve representative eukaryotic sequenceswere aligned and a net prediction of secondary structure wasmatched against the known -helices and ß-sheets ofP450cam. The cam secondary structure provided a fixed main-chainframework onto which loops of appropriate length from the humanP450IA1 structure were added. The model-built structure of thehuman cytochrome conformed to the requirements for the segregationof polar and nonpolar residues between the core and the surface.The first 44 residues of human cytochrome P450 could not bebuilt into the model and sequence analysis suggested that residues1–26 formed a single membrane-spanning segment. Examinationof the sequences of cytochrome P450s from distinct gene familiessuggested specific residues that could account for the differencesin substrate specificity. A major substrate for P450IA1, 3-methyl-cholanthrene,was fitted into the proposed active site and this planar aromaticmolecule could be accommodated into the available cavity. Residuesthat are likely to interact with the haem were identified. Thesequence similarity between 59 eukaryotic enzymes was representedas a dendrogram that in general clustered according to genefamily. Until a crystallographic structure is available, thismodel-building study identifies potential residues in cytochromeP450s important in the function of these enzymes and these residuesare candidates for site-directed mutagenesis.     

ON THE EXISTENCE OF STATIONARY THRESHOLD AUTOREGRESSIVE MOVING-AVERAGE PROCESSES

Abstract. Conditions for the existence of causal and strictly stationary solutions of the equations defining a self-exciting threshold autoregressive moving-average (SETARMA) model are derived. For threshold autoregressive models we allow the autoregressive coefficients to be random and derive sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity and the existence of strictly and weakly stationary solutions of the defining equations.

Proton conducting acid-base mixed materials under water-free condition

In recent years, a lot of attentions have been paid for a development of water-free polymer electrolyte membranes fuel cells (PEMFC) at intermediate temperatures (above 100 °C) because of many technological advantages of higher temperature operation. However, the proton conductivity of conventional polymer membranes under water-free condition is usually very low and the polymeric membranes are not stable at higher temperatures. So, the development of non-hydrous proton conducting membrane under water-free condition has been a state of the art issue in the advanced PEMFC technology. In this study, non-hydrous protonic conducting material was prepared by the mixing of acidic surfactant of mono-dodecylphosphate (MDP) and organic base of benzimidazole (BnIm). The proton conductivity and thermal stability of MDP-BnIm mixed material increased with the mixing ratio of BnIm. Maximum proton conductivity of MDP-BnIm mixed material (BnIm mixing ratio of 200 wt.%. vs. MDP) was found to be 1×10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ at 150 °C under water-free condition.

A Sedimentation-Dispersion Model for both Non-attached and Attached Particles in Three-Phase Batchwise Fluidized Beds

The axial concentration distribution of both particles with better wetting (forming non-attached system) and poorer wetting (forming attached system) was investigated in a vertical gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed of 4.2 cm in diameter and 130 cm in height with the solids holdup less than 0.05. The one-dimensional sedimentation-dispersion model could be used satisfactorily to describe the axial distribution of solids holdup by modifying only a model parameter, i.e. by means of the terminal settling velocity minus a certain value, which is a function of gas velocity and considers the effect of an additional drag force resulted from attached rising bubbles. The axial profiles of solid concentration predicted are in good agreement with experimental results. This model also explains reasonably the different axial distributions of solid concentration, i.e. the solids holdup decreases as the axial height increases in non-attached system, but increases with the axial height in attached system at a given gas veloc     

Isosteric heat of sorption of CO2 in poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Sorption isotherms for carbon dioxide in poly(ethylene terephthalate) have been measured at 35–55°C. The isotherms were measured gravimetrically on a Mettler Thermoanalyzer-1 from vacuum to 1 atmosphere. The sorption data were used to generate sorption isotherms from which the isosteric heat of sorption of CO₂ in PET was determined. At 45°C the isosteric heat of sorption increases from −10 kcal/mole at a concentration of 0.5 cm³ (STP)/cm³ (polymer) to −8 kcal mole⁻¹ at a concentration of 1.5 cm³ (STP)/cm³ (polymer). It has been reported in the literature that the isosteric heat of sorption for this system decreased through a minimum before increasing with increasing concentration. Our measurement of the low-pressure sorption isotherms shows that this is not the case.
