EXTERNAL FLUID HEATING OF A POROUS ED

This work deals with the thermal analysis of externally heated porous beds of finite length. A one dimensional model was developed that includes conduction and storage in both the fluid and bed, convective exchange between the fluid and bed, and the effect of adsorption/desorption in the bed. This model results in two coupled differential equations for the fluid and bed temperatures as functions of four independent dimensionless parameters. These equations were solved numerically using finite difference approximations. A truncation error analysis was carried out to maintain an accurate solution. The method of normalization is such that the results of this analysis are of use in bed design when the breakthrough characteristics in finite length beds are of interest. A method to measure bed thermal performance is defined and a means to optimize bed thermal performance is presented. An experiment was conducted to validate the numerically obtained results. A comparison of numerical to experimental results is presented     

Critical temperature for production of MAG by esterification of different FA with glycerol using <Emphasis Type="Italic">Penicillium camembertii</Emphasis> lipase

Production of MAG by a lipase-catalyzed reaction is known to be effective at low temperature. This phenomenon can be explained by assuming that synthesized MAG are excluded from the reaction system because MAG, which have low m.p., are solidified at low temperatures. Consequently, MAG are efficiently accumulated and do not serve as the precursor of DAG. If this hypothesis is correct, the critical temperature for MAG production, defined as the highest temperature at which DAG synthesis is repressed, should depend on the m.p. of the MAG. Esterification of FFA with glycerol using Candida rugosa, Rhizopus oryzae, and Penicillium camembertii lipases produced MAG efficiently at low temperatures. However, Candida lipase showed very low esterification activity at high temperatures (>20°C), and Rhizopus lipase produced not only MAG but also DAG even at low temperatures. Meanwhile, P. camembertii lipase catalyzed synthesis of MAG only from FFA and glycerol at low temperatures, although the enzyme catalyzed synthesis of DAG from MAG in addition to synthesis of MAG at high temperatures. We thus studied the effect of temperature on esterification of C₁₀−C₁₈ FFA with glycerol using Penicillium lipase as a catalyst and determined the critical temperatures for production of MAG. The critical temperature for production of each MAG showed a linear correlation with m.p. of the MAG, which supported the hypothesis. In addition, because the m.p. of MAG are estimated from that of the constituent FA, the optimal temperature for production of MAG can be predicted from the m.p. of the FFA used as a substrate.

基于分布相似度迁移的关键路由设备检测

在基础设施网络(如电力网、互联网等)设施中,往往会出现关键节点,主要表现为节点流量大、在网络中位置关键等,其性能不稳定将制约网络部分区域的功能。因此从提高关键基础设施的性能和安全性的角度出发,针对关键基础设施的检测成为一个重要的研究课题。提出了一种新颖的基于分布相似度迁移的互联网关键路由设备的检测算法,其目的是自动地检测当前互联网线路中的关键路由设备。在真实环境中,不同线路中不同路由设备的行为特征由于若干客观因素(网络状态、路由设备性能等)导致其分布通常不相同。因此,所提方法主要基于路由之间的分布相似度迁移:首先在目标域(当前路由)中通过谱聚类方法自动判断出可疑的路由设备,然后通过提出的基于分布相似度迁移的分类器对上一步中检测出的可疑路由设备进行分类。在华为公司提供的真实数据集上进行的测试表明,所提方法能够有效发现线路中的关键路由设备,同时能够根据不同线路之间的分布相似度迁移来提高分类结果。     

Synthesis of biodegradable poly(trans-4-hydroxy-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-l-proline)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymers and micellar characterizations

A series of novel types of diblock poly(trans-4-hydroxy-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-l-proline)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PHpr10-b-PCL) copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization from macroinitiator poly(trans-4-hydroxy-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-l-proline) (PHpr10) and ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) in the presence of organocatalyst dl-lactic acid (dl-LA). The M_n of the copolymers increased from 3370 to 19,040 g mol⁻¹ with the molar ratio (10-100) of ε-CL to PHpr10. These products were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ¹H NMR, and gel permeation chromatography. According to DSC, the glass-transition temperature (T_g) of the diblock copolymers depend on the molar ratio of monomer/initiator that were added. The hydrolytic degradation behavior of PHpr-b-PCLs was evaluated from weight-loss measurements and the change of M_n and M_w/M_n. With higher PCL contents resulted in a slower weight loss, while having a higher molecular weight loss percentage. Their micellar characteristics in an aqueous phase were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The block copolymers formed micelles in the aqueous phase with critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) in the range of 1.33-4.22 mg L⁻¹. The micelles exhibited a spindly shape and showed a narrow monodisperse size distribution. The obtained micelles have a relatively high drug-loading of about 26% when the feed weight ratio of amitriptyline hydrochloride (AM) to polymer was 1/1. An increase of molecular weight and hydrophobic components in copolymers produced a higher CMC value and greater loading efficiencies were observed.     

Viscoelastic effects on the scratch resistance of polymers: relationship between mechanical properties and scratch properties at various temperatures

Scratch durability of polymer surfaces and coatings is becoming critical for the increasing use of these materials in new applications, replacing other materials with harder surfaces.

Scratch resistance of polymers has been the subject of numerous studies, which have led to specific definitions for plastic deformation characterization and fracture resistance during scratch testing. Viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior during a scratch process have been related to dynamic mechanical properties that can be measured via dynamic nano-indentation testing. Yet, the understanding of the origin of the fracture process of a polymer during scratch remains approximate. Parameters like tip shape and size, scratch velocity and loading rate, applied strain and strain rates, have been considered critical parameters for the fracture process, but no correlation has been clearly established.

The goal of this work is to define and analyze scratch parameters that relate to mechanical properties. The evolution of scratch resistance parameters as a function of temperature and strain rate, compared to the evolution of dynamic mechanical properties obtained from indentation and uniaxial tensile tests over a range of temperature for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) helped in identifying a correlation between the tensile stress–strain behavior and scratch fracture toughness.

This correlation brings a new understanding of the origin of the fracture mechanisms during a scratch process. In particular, it is demonstrated that the characteristic strain applied by the indenter is a most relevant parameter to describe the fracture resistance during a scratch process, independently of the indenter geometry.
