Computational study of transport processes in a single-screw extruder for non-newtonian chemically reactive materials

A numerical study of the transport phenomena arising in a single-screw extruder channel is carried out. A non-Newtonian fluid is considered, using a power law model for the variable viscosity. Chemical reaction kinetics are also included. Finite difference computations are carried out to solve the governing set of partial differential equations for the velocity, temperature and species concentration fields, over a wide range of governing parameters for the case of a tapered screw channel. The numerical treatment for this combined heat and mass transfer problem is outlined. A marching procedure in the down-channel direction is adopted and the validity of the scheme for practical problems discussed. For large viscous dissipation, the material heats up considerably due to the prevailing shear field, affecting the viscosity significantly, and results in large changes in the pressure development at the end of the channel. The rate of reaction controls the mass diffusion rate which in turn affects viscosity and the flow significantly. The dimensionless throughput,q _v , is one of the most important parameters in the numerical solution. The dimensionless pressure variation is very sensitive toq _v , and orders of magnitude changes are possible for small variations inq _v . Schemes for dealing with other important effects such as back flow, heat transfer by conduction in the barrel, and the effect of the die are also outlined.

SYMMETRIC STABLE SEQUENCES WITH MISSING OBSERVATIONS

Abstract. A procedure for evaluating optimal linear estimates of missing values in the minimum dispersion sense is proposed for stationary symmetric stable processes. Analytical expressions for the estimates are obtained for the autoregressive moving-average process and it is shown that the finite variance setting results are special cases. Cases of one and more than one missing value are considered.     

Characterization of CuInS2 thin films for solar cells prepared by spray pyrolysis

We have made a study of the chemical composition, the electrical, the optical and the structural properties of polycrystalline CuInS₂ thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis to be used for thin film solar cells. These films were deposited starting from aqueous solutions with different chemical compositions ([Cu]/[In] and [S]/[Cu] ratios) and at different substrate temperatures. In all cases, the material is p-type with grains preferentially oriented in the (112) direction of the sphalerite structure. The electro-optical properties show a very strong dependence on the [Cu]/[In] ratio in the solution. Films with copper excess have smaller resistivity and better crystallinity than those which are stoichiometric or have indium excess. The results obtained in this work show the possibility of having CuInS₂ thin films with a wide range of resistivity, a fact that could be important for making solar cells based on this material.

Synthesis and Properties of the Bi-Based Superconducting Powder Prepared by the Pechini Process

Bi-based superconductors are of great interest in high-temperature superconductors. We describe what is believed to be the first synthesis of these materials using the Pechini process, a low-temperature synthetic method that often yields inorganic oxide of excellent phase purity and well-controlled stoichiometry. Using this process, it has been possible to synthesize phase-pure Bi-2223 phase by calcining the appropriate polymeric precursors in air at 800°C for several hours. The superconductivity studies show that the Pechini-synthesized materials appear to offer high-quality performance.
