In this paper we reported the fabrication of submicrometer- to micrometer-scale ferroelectric copolymer particles by a simple solution mixture method. Particle diameter could be controlled by the second solvent and/or the volume ratio of the second solvent to copolymer butanone solution. These particles were also ferroelectric and could be re-dispersed into water to form a suspension, as facilitated by the potential applications of these particles. 相似文献
Surface eigenstress and eigendisplacement models were used to investigate the surface stress,surface relaxation and surface elasticity of thin films with different surface orientations.Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles calculations were conducted on face-centered cubic Au films with the focus on relaxation induced nonlinear initial deformation.The simulation results verify the theoretical predictions of the size dependency of surface energy density and surface stress,and the nonlinear scaling law of the size-dependent Young’s modulus of thin films.The mechanism of the size-dependent behaviors was further explored at the atomic bonding level with the charge density field.The Au atomic bonding at surfaces is enhanced compared to its interior counterpart and therefore the nominal Young’s modulus of the Au thin films is larger when the film thickness is smaller. 相似文献
Installing an inducer upstream of the main impeller is an effective approach for improving the anti-cavitation performance of a highspeed centrifugal pump. For a high-speed centrifugal pump with an inducer, the number of inducer blades can affect its internal flow and external performance. We studied the manner in which the number of inducer blades can affect the anti-cavitation characteristics and external performance of a centrifugal pump. We first use the Rayleigh-Plesset equation and the mixture model to simulate the vaporliquid flow in a centrifugal pump with an inducer, and then predict its external performance. Finally, we tested the external performance of a centrifugal pump with 2-, 3-and 4-bladed inducers, respectively. The results show that the simulations of external performance in a centrifugal pump are in accordance with our experiments. Based on this, we obtained vapor volume fraction distributions for the inducer, the impeller, and in the corresponding whole flow parts. We discovered that the vapor volume fraction of a centrifugal pump with a 3-bladed inducer is less than that of a centrifugal pump with 2-or 4-bladed inducers, which means that a centrifugal pump with a 3-bladed inducer has a better external and anti-cavitation performance.
The anti-cavitation performance of a high-speed centrifugal pump with a splitter-bladed inducer is investigated under different flow rates and different inlet pressures. Simulations and external characteristics experiments are carried out. Static pressure and the vapor volume fraction distributions on the inducer and the impeller of the pump under various operation conditions are obtained. The results show that the cavitation developments on the impeller and on the inducer with the flow rates are reverse, while the development of the inlet pressure on the inducer and the impeller is the same. Cavitation on the impeller increases with the increase of flow rates, and it extends to the near passages with rotating, while cavitation on the inducer is more complex than that on the impeller. Cavitation at the inlet of the inducer decreases with the increase of flow rates, while cavitation at the outlet of the inducer is opposite. The results also show that cavitation development on the impeller and on the inducer with the inlet pressure is the same. Cavitation both decreases with the increase of the inlet pressure at the same flow rate. Furthermore, asymmetric cavitation on the impeller and on the inducer is both observed. And the asymmetric degree of cavitation on the impeller is higher than that on the inducer. 相似文献
