Arrays of Rotating Permanent Magnet Dipoles for Stirring and Pumping of Liquid Metals

2015

AbstractMultiple configurations of synchronously rotating permanent magnet cylinders magnetized across the axes are proposed for liquid metal stirring for homogenization as well as for pumping. Universal analytical model is used for an initial parameter analysis. Then experimental setups were built to perform physical modelling of the industrial applications, e.g. large-scale metallurgical furnaces. Velocity distribution in the liquid metal was measured using different methods: the Ultrasound Doppler anemometry and the potential difference probes. The study shows that the cylindrical permanent magnet setups can achieve up to 10 times higher energy efficiency compared to AC inductors and hav…

2D shape relaxation dynamics in amphiphile monolayers

2007

The shape relaxation dynamics of the droplets in amphiphile monolayers is studied in Darcy approximation. It is shown by numerical experiments that relaxation from the highly extended dumbbell configurations can be described by simple physical model according to which the dissipation is concentrated on circular tips. By numerical simulation it is illustrated that longrange dipolar interactions lead to the stabilization of the shape relaxation process with respect to the formation of a narrow neck causing the rupture of the droplet when dipolar forces are absent. Effect of the dipolar forces on the shape-relaxation process can be accounted by the slope of the relaxation curve at small deviat…

Frequency Dependence of the Orientational Freezing in(KBr)1−x(KCN)x

1982

Dielectric, ultrasonic, and neutron-scattering measurements in ${(\mathrm{KBr})}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{(\mathrm{KCN})}_{x}$ are reported for concentrations $x$ ranging from 0.01 to 0.5. The dipolar and the quadrupolar susceptibilities exhibit frequency- and concentration-dependent cusps showing that the freezing process into an orientational glass state is a relaxational phenomenon.

Ferroelectricity and orientational glass behavior in the [Rbx(NH4)1−x]2SO4system

1996

Abstract The ordering in the electric dipole subsystem of the [Rbx(NH4)1−x]22SO4 family is investigated. The microscopic origin of ferroelectricity for x=0 is discussed, and evidences for the existence of orientational glass behavior in highly substituted crystals are presented.

All-experimental values of self-quenching cross-sections for nf states (n=5-8) of potassium atoms

2007

All-experimental self-quenching cross-sections σ nf are reported for K(nf) states (n = 5, 6, 7, 8). The experiment was performed at varied temperatures of K vapour in a spectral cell. Time-resolved fluorescence was observed following pulsed step-wise excitation with dipole and quadrupole transitions K(4s) → K(4p) → K(nf). The values: σ 5f = 2.4 ± 1.7, σ 6f = 4.5±1.4, σ 7f = 8.1±1.8, and σ 8f = 18.2±3.0 (in units of 10−13 cm−1) were obtained from a Stern-Volmer-type plot.

Shear moduli of two dimensional binary glasses

2012

The shear moduli of two-component glasses in two dimensions are studied within mode coupling theory. Varying the concentration, strong mixing effects are observed along the glass transition lines for two interaction potentials. Nonoverlapping disks with size ratios between 0.3 and 0.9, and point particles interacting with (magnetic) dipoles of strength ratio between 0.1 and 0.6 are considered. Equilibrium structure factors (partially obtained from Monte Carlo simulations) and glass form factors, and perturbative calculations show that a softening of the elastic shear constant of glass upon adding another component arises from a dilution effect of the majority component. For very disparate m…

Use of the red-edge excitation effect for investigation of dielectric interactions in biomembranes

1999

Dipole moments of the fluorescent probes 1-phenylnaphthylamine (1-AN) and 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (1,8-ANS) are measured using electro-optical absorption and emission methods. Dipole moments in the ground and excited states were measured in cyclohexane and dioxane. It is shown that the charge distributions in the 1-AN and 1,8-ANS molecules differ substantially. The spectral dependence of the electro-optical coefficients suggests that the absorption spectrum of 1,8-ANS is due to a superposition of (at least two) electronic transitions. It is found that spectra of 1-AN in erythocyte ghosts are inhomogeneously broadened. The above effect makes it possible to selectively excite probe m…

Mutual capture of dipolar molecules at low and very low energies. II. Numerical study.

2011

The low-energy rate coefficients of capture of two identical dipolar polarizable rigid rotors in their lowest nonresonant (j(1) = 0 and j(2) = 0) and resonant (j(1) = 0, 1 and j(2) = 1, 0) states are calculated accurately within the close-coupling (CC) approach. The convergence of the quantum rate coefficients to their quantum-classical counterparts is studied. A comparison of the present accurate numerical with approximate analytical results (Nikitin, E. E.; Troe, J. J. Phys. Chem. A 2010, 114, 9762) indicates a good performance of the previous approach which was based on the interpolation between s-wave fly wheel quantal and all-wave classical adiabatic channel limits. The results obtaine…
