Abstract: The synthesis of a porphyrin star-pentamer bearing a free-base porphyrin core and four zinc(ii) metalloporphyrins, which are tethered by a conformationally flexible linker about the central porphyrin’s antipody, is described. The synthetic strategy is highlighted by the use of olefin cross metathesis to link the five chromophores together in a directed fashion in high yield. Photoexcitation into the Soret absorption band of the zinc porphyrin chromophores at 425 nm leads to a substantial enhancement of central free-base porphyrin fluorescence, indicating energy transfer from the photoexcited zinc porphyrin (outer periphery) to central free-base porphyrin. Time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles required three exponential decay components for satisfactory fitting. These are attributed to emission from the central free-base porphyrin and to two different rates of energy transfer from the zinc porphyrins to the free-base porphyrin. The faster of these decay components equates to an energy-transfer rate constant of 3.7 × 109 s–1 and an efficiency of 83%, whereas the other is essentially unquenched with respect to reported values for zinc porphyrin fluorescence decay times. The relative contribution of these two components to the initial fluorescence decay is ~3:2, similar to the 5:4 ratio of cis and trans geometric isomers present in the pentamer.

Abstract: In this research, the structure of laminar, one-dimensional and steady flame propagation in uniformly premixed particle-wood is analyzed. The structure of the flame is composed of three zones: a preheat zone, a narrow reaction zone and a post flame zone. In the preheat zone, the rate of reaction between fuel and oxidizer is assumed to be small and also it is presumed that the fuel particles vaporize to yield a gaseous fuel of known chemical structure when enter the reaction zone. Then in the reaction zone, composed of gas, tar and char combustion, the convective terms and vaporization terms in the conservation equations are presumed to be small and in the post flame zone, the diffusive terms in the conservation equations are assumed to be small in comparison with other parameters. The governing equations in each zone, considering these assumptions, are solved using the required boundary and matching conditions. Consequently, the variation of burning velocity and flame temperature as a function of equivalence ratio are presented as the outcome of this research.

Abstract: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process for joining aluminium alloys, has been employed in different industries, and is a new and promising welding process that can produce low-cost and high-quality joints of heat-treatable aluminium alloys because this process uses a non-consumable tool to generate frictional heat in the abutting surfaces and can eliminate some welding defects such as crack and porosity. The various parameters such as rotational speed, welding speed, axial force, and attack angle play vital roles in the FSW process in order to analyse the weld quality. In this research, the impact of processing parameters such as different rotational speed and tool pin profiles on the mechanical, micro-, and macrostructural properties during the FSW process involving the butt jointing of AA7075 T6 is investigated. It is important to note that four-flute and taper threaded pin profiles are utilized and the mechanical characteristics are determined by comparing the ultimate strength, percentage of elongation, and microhardness profiles for different rotational speeds and tool pin profiles.

Abstract: Abstract. Analytical and numerical analyses have been performed to study the problem of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer of an upper-convected Maxwell fluid in a parallel plate channel. The governing equations of continuity, momentum and energy are reduced to two ordinary differential equation forms by introducing a similarity transformation. The Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method (NUM) are used to solve this problem. Also, velocity and temperature fields have been computed and shown graphically for various values of the physical parameters. The objectives of the present work are to investigate the effect of the Deborah numbers (De), Hartman electric number (Ha), Reynolds number (Rew) and Prandtl number (Pr) on the velocity and temperature fields. As an important outcome, it is observed that increasing the Hartman number leads to a reduction in the velocity values while increasing the Deborah number has negligible impact on the velocity increment.

Abstract: Near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy is an important tool for probing the structure of conjugated polymer films used in organic electronic devices. High-performance conjugated polymers are often donor-acceptor co-polymers which feature a repeat unit with multiple functional groups. To facilitate better application of NEXAFS spectroscopy to the study of such materials, improved understanding of the observed NEXAFS spectral features is required. In order to examine how the NEXAFS spectrum of a donor-acceptor co-polymer relates to the properties of the sub-units, a series of naphthalene diimide-thiophene-based co-polymers have been studied where the nature and length of the donor co-monomer has been systematically varied. The spectra of these materials are compared with that of a thiophene homopolymer and naphthalene diimide monomer enabling peak assignment and the influence of inter-unit electronic coupling to be assessed. We find that while it is possible to attribute peaks within the π* manifold as arising primarily due to the naphthalene diimide or thiophene sub-units, very similar dichroism of these peaks is observed indicating that it may not be possible to separately probe the molecular orientation of the separate sub-units with carbon K-edge NEXAFS spectroscopy.

Abstract: This research investigates the laminar steady-forced convection heat transfer of a Cu-water nanofluid in a 2-D horizontal channel with different block geometries attached to the bottom wall. The block geometries assumed in this research are triangular and curve blocks. The governing equations associated with the required boundary conditions are solved using finite volume method based on the SIMPLE technique and the effects of Reynolds number, nanofluid volume fraction, block geometry, and the numbers of blocks on the local and average Nusselt numbers are explored. The obtained results show that nanoparticles can effectively enhance the heat transfer in a channel. Furthermore, the local and average Nusselt number distribution is strongly dependent on the block geometry. As observed, the heat transfer augments with the increase in the Reynolds number and nanofluid volume fraction for both block geometries. It is also concluded that the average Nusselt number of the curve block is higher than that of the triangular block for different Reynolds numbers which declares the importance of the block geometry in the heat transfer enhancement.

Abstract: This study aims to present a basic mathematical model for investigating the structure of counter-flow non-premixed laminar flames propagating through uniformly-distributed organic fuel particles considering preheat, drying, vaporization, reaction and oxidizer zones. Lycopodium particles and air are taken as biofuel and oxidizer, respectively. Dimensionalized and non-dimensionalized forms of mass and energy conservation equations are derived for each zone taking into account proper boundary and jump conditions. Subsequently, to solve the governing equations, an asymptotic method is used. For validation purpose, results achieved from the present analysis are compared with reliable data reported in the literature under certain conditions. With regard to the comparisons, although different complex non-homogeneous differential equations are solved in this paper, acceptable agreements are observed. Finally, the impacts of significant parameters including fuel and oxidizer Lewis numbers, equivalence ratio, mass particle concentration, fuel and oxidizer mass fractions and lycopodium initial temperature on the flame temperature, flame front position and flow strain rate are elaborately explained. An asymptotic method for mathematical modeling of counter-flow non-premixed multi-zone laminar flames propagating through lycopodium particles.

Abstract: In this study, an analytical model for heat recirculation in cylindrical micro-combustors is presented, including the effects of heat transfer from the product gas stream in the reaction zone and post-flame region to the reactant in the preheat zone, structural heat conduction through the combustor walls and heat loss to ambient. Eventually, the explicit expression for the flame speed in non-adiabatic condition and the implicit expression for adiabatic condition are obtained in this research. In addition, comparison is made between adiabatic and non-adiabatic flame speeds. It is demonstrated that the streamwise heat conduction through the structure of combustor plays an important role in the flame broadening in both adiabatic and non-adiabatic conditions. Moreover, it is shown that reducing the size of the combustor to a submillimetre scale extremely increases the surface-to-volume ratio, leading to the decrease in the flame speed and flame quenching.

Abstract: In the present study, a comprehensive mathematical method is developed to realize the flame expansion in the melting furnace zones. For this purpose, the furnace is composed of two zones: flame and post flame zones. Two different scenarios are covered in this research: Using lycopodium as a substitute fuel which is then converted to methane after the vaporization process, supplying the system with methane directly as a conventional fuel. The equations governing the problem with the required boundary conditions are developed and solved in each zone. The obtained results show great compatibility with the experimental findings in this research. Since lycopodium as the replacement fuel mostly contains volatile materials, one of the challenges in this study lies on understanding the effect of particle vaporization on the temperature distribution in a furnace. It is concluded that the average temperature in zones α1, α2, β1, and β2, is reduced by about 5 K, while it is increased by approximately the same amount in zones χ1, χ2, δ1, and δ2 after considering lycopodium as a fuel. Moreover, the role of vaporization and radiation on the combustion characteristics is studied in details. The achieved results from this analysis can be implemented in several industrial applications aiming for improving the energy efficiency outcome from their systems.

Abstract: In this study, an attempt has been made to analytically investigate the concentration and velocity profiles of particles across flame propagation through a micro-iron dust cloud. In the first step, Lagrangian particle equation of motion during upward flame propagation in a vertical duct is employed and then forces acting upon the particle, such as thermophoretic force (resulted from the temperature gradient), gravitation and buoyancy are introduced and consequently, the velocity profile as a function of the distance from the leading edge of the combustion zone is extracted. In the resumption, a control volume above the leading edge of the combustion zone is considered and the change in the particle number density in this control volume is obtained via the balance of particle mass fluxes passing through it. This study explains that the particle concentration at the leading edge of the combustion zone is more than the particle agglomeration in a distance far from the flame front. This increase in the particle aggregation above the combustion zone has a remarkable effect on the lower flammability limits of combustible particle cloud. It is worth noticing that the velocity and particle concentration profiles show a reasonable compatibility with the experimental data.

Abstract: In the present study, the analytical study on blood flow containing nanoparticles through porous blood vessels is done in presence of magnetic field using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). Blood is considered as the third grade non- Newtonian fluid containing nanoparticles. Viscosity of nanofluid is determined by Constant, Reynolds' and Vogel's models. Some efforts have been made to show the reliability and performance of the present method compared with the numerical method, Runge-Kutta fourth-order. The results reveal that the HPM can achieve suitable results in predicting the solution of these problems. Moreover, the influence of some physical parameters such as pressure gradient, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, magnetic filed intensity and Grashof number on temperature, velocity and nanoparticles concentration profiles is declared in this research. The results reveal that the increase in the pressure gradient and Thermophoresis parameter as well as decrease in the Brownian motion parameter cause the rise in the velocity profile. Furthermore, either increase in Thermophoresis or decrease in Brownian motion parameters results in enhancement in nanoparticle concentration. The highest value of velocity is observed when the Vogel's Model is used for viscosity.

Abstract: Unsteady settling behavior of solid spherical particles falling in water as a Newtonian fluid is investigated in this research. Least square method (LSM), Galerkin method, LSM-Pad?, and numerical model are applied to analyze the characteristics of the particles motion. The influence of physical parameters on terminal velocity is discussed and it is showed that LSM and Galerkin method are efficient techniques for solving the governing equation. Among these methods, LSM-Pad? demonstrates the best agreement with numerical results. The novelty of this work is to introduce new analytical methods for solving the non-linear equation of sedimentation applicable in many industrial and chemical applications.

Abstract: The main aim of this research is focused on determining the velocity and particle density profiles across the flame propagation of microlycopodium dust particles. In this model, it is tried to incorporate the forces acting on the particles such as thermophoretic, gravitational, and buoyancy in the Lagrangian equation of motion. For this purpose, it is considered that the flame structure has four zones (i.e., preheat, vaporization, reaction, and postflame zones) and the temperature profile, as the unknown parameter in the thermophoretic force, is extracted from this model. Consequently, employing the Lagrangian equation with the known elements results in the velocity distribution versus the forefront of the combustion region. Satisfactory agreement is achieved between the present model and previously published experiments. It is concluded that the maximum particle concentration and velocity are gained on the flame front with the gradual decrease in the distance away from this location.

Abstract: In this study, a mechanism containing ethanol reactions is employed and the effects of exhaust gas fuel reforming on operation parameters such as ignition timing, burn duration, temperature, pressure and NOx emission are studied in which a homogeneous mixture is assumed. The results show that hydrogen in the form of reformed gas helps in lowering the intake temperature required for stable HCCI operation. It is concluded that the addition of hydrogen advances the start of combustion in the cylinder. This is a result of the lowering of the minimum intake temperature required for auto-ignition to occur during the compression stroke, resulting in advanced combustion for the same intake temperatures. The obtained results from the model are compared with the experimental data published in the literature and the comparison showed a reasonable compatibility.

Abstract: The main aim of this research is to numerically obtain the permeability coefficient in the cylindrical scaffolds. For this purpose, a mathematical analysis was performed to derive an equation for desired porosity in terms of morphological parameters. Then, the considered cylindrical geometries were modeled and the permeability coefficient was calculated according to the velocity and pressure drop values based on the Darcy's law. In order to validate the accuracy of the present numerical solution, the obtained permeability coefficient was compared with the published experimental data. It was observed that this model can predict permeability with the utmost accuracy. Then, the effect of geometrical parameters including porosity, scaffold pore structure, unit cell size, and length of the scaffolds as well as entrance mass flow rate on the permeability of porous structures was studied. Furthermore, a parametric study with scaling laws analysis of s le length and mass flow rate effects on the permeability showed good fit to the obtained data. It can be concluded that the sensitivity of permeability is more noticeable at higher porosities. The present approach can be used to characterize and optimize the scaffold microstructure due to the necessity of cell growth and transferring considerations.

Abstract: This article presents the structure of laminar, one-dimensional, and steady-state flame propagation in uniformly premixed wood particles. In order to predict the effect of radiation and particle size on the pyrolysis of biomass particles, the flame structure is ided into three regions: a preheat vaporization zone where the rate of the gas-phase chemical reaction is small a narrow reaction zone composed of three zones (gas, tar, and char combustion) where convection and the rate of vaporization of the fuel particles are small and finally a convection zone where diffusive terms in the conservation equation are small. In this model, it is assumed that fuel particles vaporize first to yield a gaseous fuel of known chemical structure. The analysis is performed in the asymptotic limit, where the value of the characteristic Zeldovich number is large and the equivalence ratio is larger than unity (i.e. ϕ u ≥1). The overall investigation of this study leads to a novel non-linear burning velocity correlation. Consequently, the impacts of radiation and particle size as determining factors on the combustion properties of biomass particles are declared in this research.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to analytically investigate the symmetrical combustion of an isolated coal particle with the fuel pyrolysis effect. The modelling concept of coal particles is similar to that of the liquid droplet combustion but in the case of coal devolatilization, the particles do not shrink like droplet does due to evaporation of liquid fuel. The rate of devolatilization of volatiles can be calculated using the equation that is similar to Arrhenius equation. This model is based on an assumption of combined quasi-steady and transient behaviour of the process and especially focuses on predicting the variations of temperature profile, radius of pyrolysis and transfer number. It is revealed that the entrance of pyrolysis effect into the governing equations leads to the reduction in the film radius and consequently a reduction in the stand-off ratio and transfer number.

Abstract: In the present study, laminar steady flow of nanofluid through a trapezoidal channel is studied by using of finite volume method. The main aim of this paper is to study the effect of changes in geometric parameters, including internal and external dimensions on the behavior of heat transfer and fluid flow. For each parameter, an optimum ratio will be presented. The results showed that in a channel cell, changing any geometric parameter may affect the temperature and flow field, even though the volume of the channel is kept constant. For a relatively small hydraulic diameter, microchannels with different angles have a similar dimensionless heat flux, while channels with bigger dimensions show various values of dimensionless heat flux. By increasing the angles of trapezoidal microchannels, dimensionless heat flux per unit of volume increases. As a result, the maximum and minimum heat transfer rate occurs in a trapezoidal microchannel with 75° and 30 internal’s, respectively. In the study of dimensionless heat flux rate with hydraulic diameter variations, an optimum hydraulic diameter (Dh) was observed in which the heat transfer rate per unit volume attains maximum value. This optimum state is predicted to happen at a side angle of 75° and hydraulic diameter of 290 µm. In addition, in trapezoidal microchannel with higher aspect ratio, dimensionless heat flux rate is lower. Changing side angles of the channels and pressure drop have the same effect on pressure drop. For a constant pressure drop, if changing the side angles causes an increase in the rectangular area of the channel cross-section and the effect of the sides are not felt by the fluid, then the dimensionless heat flux will increase. By increasing the internal aspect ratio (t_2/t_3), the amount of t_3 decreases, and consequently, the conduction resistance of the hot surface decreases. The effects of geometry of the microchannel, including internal and external dimensions on the behavior of heat transfer and fluid flow for pressure ranges between 2 and 8 kPa.

Abstract: Phase change material (PCM) is considered as one of the most effective thermal energy storage (TES) systems to balance energy supply and demand. A key challenge in designing efficient PCM-based TES systems lies in the enhancement of heat transmission during phase transition. This study numerically examines the privilege of employing twisted-fin arrays inside a shell-and-tube latent heat storage unit to improve the solidification performance. The presence of twisted fins contributes to the dominating role of heat conduction by their curved shapes, which restricts the role of natural convection but largely aids the overall heat-transfer process during solidification. The heat-discharge rate of twisted-fin configuration is increased by ∼14 and ∼55% compared to straight fin and no fin configurations—leading to a reduction in the solidification duration by ∼13 and ∼35%, respectively. The solidification front at various times has also been assessed through a detailed parametric study over the fin height, fin pitch number, and fin thickness. Over the range of values assumed, the fin height is the most dominant parameter – increasing the heat-retrieval rate from 10.0 to 11.4 W and decreasing the discharge time from above 3600 to 2880 s by varying the fin height from 2.5 to 7.5 mm.
