Organic compounds dissolved in water can be decomposed on a layer of n-TiO2 particles irradiated by u.v. light, which generates holes and electrons in the TiO2 material. Dissolved oxygen was used as electron scavenger and holes reacted with water to give OH radicals. The rate of degradation of the dissolved organic compounds by OH radicals is limited by the transfer of either oxygen or of theorganic compounds to the surface of n-TiO2 particles. The consequence of these limits is that, in the batch mode reactor with recirculation of the liquid, the dependence of the concentration of an organic compound on time has either a linear or an exponential form. Experiments with decomposition of oxalic acid in aqueous solutions using a plate reactor (60 cm × 120 cm) confirmed the analysis. Equations for evaluation of the mass transfer coefficient of the dissolved species to the surface of the plate reactor with a moving liquid fil m were developed for the case of the thickness of the Nernst diffusion layer being thinner than the thickness of the liquid. The experimentally obtained decomposition rate of oxalic acid was about 60 to 80% of the theoretical decomposition rate limited by oxygen flux through the film of a moving liquid. The present theory neglects the diffusion of oxygen into the porous layer of n-TiO2. 相似文献
Partial differential equations describing the transport of mass and electricity in the pores of the positive electrode of a lead acid battery were derived. The theory is based on exact transport equations and on the assumption that the solid porous matrix has a metallic conductivity. Volume changes in both phases are taken into account. Numerical solutions obtained on a computer are presented for the case where the influence of electrolyte between the electrodes can be neglected. The solutions depend on the product of electrode thickness times current density, and on the initial porosity. 相似文献
The dynamic mechanical behaviour of random copolymers of LC monomer-1-(hexyloxycarbonyl)ethyl 4-[4-(methacryloyloxy)benzoyloxy]benzoate
(HB) and octyl methacrylate (OMA) was studied in the main transition and flow regions. Even though the aliphatic end groups
of the side chain of HB and OMA are roughly the same, the Tg temperature of poly(HB) is ∼ 80 K higher than that of poly(OMA); this fact is due to the presence of the stiff phenyl benzoate
mesogenic group in the side chain of HB. With increasing content of OMA in the copolymer the superimposed curves of the storage
G′p and loss G′′p moduli at a constant temperature shift towards shorter frequencies. It has been shown that this shift is mainly due to an
increase of the free volume in the copolymers with increasing content of OMA. While HB monomer shows liquid crystalline (LC)
properties, its polymer (poly(HB)) and random copolymers with OMA show only isotropic thermal behaviour because no flexible
spacer is present in the side chain of HB which would decouple the main chain and mesogenic group motions. This means that
neither the homopolymer of HB, nor its copolymers with a flexible comonomer retain the LC properties of the starting LC monomer,
HB.

Numerous visual notations are present in technical and business domains. Notations have to be cognitively effective to ease the planning, documentation, and communication of the domains’ concepts. Semantic transparency (ST) is one of the elementary principles that influence notations’ cognitive effectiveness. However, the principle is criticized for not being well defined and challenges arise in the evaluations and applications of ST. Accordingly, this research’s objectives were to answer how the ST principle is defined, operationalized, and evaluated in present notations as well as applied in the design of new notations in ICT and related areas. To meet these objectives, a systematic literature review was conducted with 94 studies passing the selection process criteria. The results reject one of the three aspects, which define semantic transparency, namely “ST is achieved with the use of icons.” Besides, taxonomies of related concepts and research methods, evaluation metrics, and other findings from this study can help to conduct verifiable ST-related experiments and applications, consequently improving the visual vocabularies of notations and effectiveness of the resulting diagrams.

Research was conducted on tailored blank welding between mild steel sheet and Zn-coated steel sheet using CO2 laser beam. The materials used in this study were low carbon steel sheets with a thickness of 1.2 mm and Zn-coated steel
sheet with the same thickness and 6.3 μm Zn coating. Experiments were conducted by applying the Taguchi method to obtain optimum
conditions for the application of this tailored blank laser welding method in practical manufacturing processes. Optical microscopy,
XRD, SEM and TEM analysis were performed to observe the microstructures and to determine the structures of welded zone. In
addition, mechanical properties were measured by the microhardness test, tensile test and Erichsen test to evaluate the formability
of the welded specimen. There was no trapped Zn in the fusion zone, and the phases of this region consisted of polygonal ferrite,
quasi-polygonal ferrite, banitic ferrite and martensite. The elongation value of welded specimen was more than 80% of the
value in substrate metal, and the LDH value was more than 90% of the value in substrate metal. 相似文献
