This article puts forward arguments in favor of the necessity of conducting complex measurements of molecular transport coefficients that quantitatively determine the coefficients of dynamic viscosity, thermal diffusivity and molecular diffusion. The rheological studies have been carried out on the viscometers of two types: those with a rolling ball (HÖPPLER® KF 3.2.), and those with a rotary one (Rheotest RN 4.1.). The thermophysical studies have been performed using the analyzer Hot Disk TPS 2500S. The measurements have been taken in the temperature range of 283 to 363 K. The concentration of dry substances has varied from 16.2 to 77.7% dry wt. An empirical equation for calculating the density of aqueous solutions of beet molasses has been obtained. The diagrams of the dependence of the dynamic viscosity on the shear rate in the range of 1 s−1 to 500 s−1 at different temperatures have been provided. The diagrams of the dependence of the coefficients of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity on the temperature and the concentration of dry substances have been presented, and empirical equations for their calculation have been obtained. The findings can be used for engineering calculations of hydrodynamic and heat-exchange processes in biotechnological equipment.

Object Of Study

Mix is a critical input to hydro simulations used in modeling chemical or nuclear reaction processes in fluids. It has been identified as a possible cause of performance degradation in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets. Mix contributes to numerical solution uncertainty through its dependence on turbulent transport coefficients, themselves uncertain and even controversial quantities. These coefficients are a central object of study in this paper, carried out in an Richtmyer–Meshkov unstable circular two-dimensional (2D) geometry suggested by an ICF design. We study a pre-turbulent regime and a fully developed regime. The former, at times between the first shock passage and reshock, is characterized by mixing in the form of interpenetrating but coherent fingers and the latter, at times after reshock, has fully developed turbulent structures. This paper focuses on the scaling of spatial averages of turbulence coefficients under mesh refinement and under variation of molecular viscosity [i.e., Reynolds number (Re)]. We find that the coefficients scale under mesh refinement with a power of spatial grid spacing derived from the Kolmogorov 2/3 law, especially after reshock. We document the dominance of turbulent over molecular transport and convergence of the turbulent transport coefficients in the infinite Re limit. The transport coefficients do not coincide for the pre- and post-reshock flow regimes, with significantly stronger transport coefficients after reshock.

Lagrangian Time Scale

Turbulent transport of fluctuating turbulent energy, turbulent momentum flux, temperature variance, turbulent heat flux, etc. in the upper part of the atmospheric boundary layer is usually dominated by buoyant transport. This transport is responsible for the erosion of the overlying stably stratified region, resulting in progressive thickening of the mixed layer. It is easy to show that a classical gradient transport model for the transport will not work, because it transports energy in the wrong direction. On the other hand, application of the eddy-damped quasi-Gaussian approximation to the equations for the third moments results in a transport model which predicts realistic inversion rise rates and heat-flux profiles. This is also a gradient transport model, but like molecular transport in solutions, a flux of one quantity depends on gradients of all relevant quantities. Transport coefficients are modified by the heat flux, so that the vertical transport is severely reduced near the inversion base. A simple Lagrangian model of transport of an indelible scalar in a stratified flow indicates that the form of the modified transport coefficients results from a marked anisotropic change in the Lagrangian time scale in stratification.

Hybrid Mesoporous Materials

AbstractThis study details development of hybrid mesoporous materials in which molecular transport through mesopores can be precisely controlled and reversibly modulated. Mesoporous silica materials formed by surfactant templating were modified by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAAm) a stimuli responsive polymer (SRP) within the porous network. Thermo gravimetric analysis and FTIR spectroscopy were used to confirm the presence of PNIPAAm on the silica surface. Nitrogen porosimetry, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed that polymerization occurred uniformly within the porous network. Uptake and release of fluorescent dyes from the particles was monitored by spectrofluorimetry and scanning laser confocal microscopy. Results suggest that the presence of PNIPAAm, a SRP, in the porous network can be used to modulate the transport of aqueous solutes. At low temperature, (e.g., room temperature) the PNIPAAm is hydrated and extended and inhibits transport of analytes; at higher temperatures (e.g., 50°C) it is hydrophobic and is collapsed within the pore network, thus allowing solute diffusion into or out of the mesoporous silica. The transition form hydrophilic to hydrophobic state on polymer grafted mesoporous membranes was determined by contact angle measurements. This work has implications for the development of materials for the selective control of transport of molecular solutes in a variety of applications.
