Abstract The authors address the problem of optimization of the microphysical information extracted from a simulation system composed of high-resolution numerical models and multiparameter radar data or other available measurements. As a tool in the exploration of this question, a bulk microphysical scheme based on the general approach of scaling normalization of particle size distribution (PSD) is proposed. This approach does not rely on a particular functional form imposed on the PSD and naturally leads to power-law relationships between the PSD moments providing an accurate and compact PSD representation. To take into account the possible evolution of the shape/curvature of the distribution, ignored within standard one- and two-moment microphysical schemes, a new three-moment scheme based on the two-moment scaling normalization is proposed. The methodology of the moment retrieval included in the three-moment scheme can also be useful as a retrieval algorithm combining different remote sensing observations. The developed bulk microphysical scheme presents a unified formulation for microphysical parameterization using one, two, or three independent moments, suitable in the context of data assimilation. The effectiveness of the scheme with different combinations of independent moments is evaluated by comparison with a very high resolution spectral model within a 1D framework on representative microphysical processes: rain sedimentation and evaporation.

The pillared layer framework DUT-8(Zn) (Zn<sub>2</sub>(2,6-ndc)<sub>2</sub>(dabco), 2,6-ndc = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane, DUT = Dresden University of Technology) is a prototypical switchable MOF, showing characteristic adsorption and desorption induced open phase (<i>op</i>) to closed phase (<i>cp</i>) transformation associated with huge changes in cell volume. We demonstrate switchability strongly depends on a framework-specific critical particle size (d<i><sub>crit</sub></i>). The solvent removal process (pore desolvation stress contracting the framework) significantly controls the <i>cp</i>/<i>op</i> ratio after desolvation and, subsequently, the adsorption induced switchability characteristics of the system. After desolvation, the dense <i>cp</i> phase of DUT-8(Zn) shows no adsorption-induced reopening and therefore is non-porous for N<sub>2</sub> at 77 K and CO<sub>2</sub> at 195 K. However, polar molecules with a higher adsorption enthalpy, such as the polar molecules such as chloromethane at 249 K and dichloromethane (DCM) at 298 K can reopen the macro-sized crystals upon adsorption. For macro-sized particles, the outer surface energy is negligible and only the type of metal (Zn, Co, Ni) controls the DCM-induced gate opening pressure. The framework stiffness increases from Zn to Ni as confirmed by DFT calculations, X-ray crystal structural analyses, and low frequency Raman spectroscopy. The partial disintegration of the Zn based node hinges produces an overall increased stabilization of<i> cp </i>vs. <i>op</i> phase shifts the critical particle size at which switchability starts to become suppressed to even lower values (d<i><sub>crit</sub></i> < 200 nm) as compared to the Ni-based system (<i>d<sub>crit</sub></i> ≈ 500 nm). Hence, the three factors affecting switchability (energetics of the empty host, (<i>E<sub>op</sub>-E<sub>cp</sub></i>) (I), particle size (II), and desolvation stress (III)) appear to be of the same order of magnitude and should be considered collectively, not individually.

Important parameters of particle size distributions in dispersed systems in engineering and related fields are ratios of moments and inverse powers of these ratios, known as mean sizes. The variation in these parameters is examined for the simplest growth model in which the size distribution is translated, and the results for this process considered in relation to the problems of models of other growth processes. For initial size distributions with monotone hazard rate, the results are particularly significant, and the properties of the normalised moments of other distributions are also considered.

The field studies have revealed that there is an unprecedented high failure rate of rotary diesel fuel injection pump (RDFIP). The presence of rigid abrasive contaminant between the plunger and sleeve of hydraulic head assembly of RDFIP causes scuffing failure. The abrasive contaminant is modeled as a spherically shaped rigid particle. The contaminant is envisioned to penetrate into the sleeve while positioning itself in rubbing contact with the plunger. Excessive temperature rise known as flash temperature between the particle-plunger interface is used as an indication of whether scuffing would take place. Flash temperature is determined by incorporating operating speed of pump, particle size, minimum film thickness, fuel properties, thermomechanical and surface properties of plunger and sleeve. Thermomechanical properties are determined through material composition of plunger and sleeve by spectroscopic techniques. Coordinate measuring machine is used to determine the radial clearance between the plunger and sleeve. Three high-pressure injection pumps are taken as case study for obtaining experimental data. This experimental data is used as an input in our theoretical model for the determination of flash temperature duly analyzing partial and diametric penetration of the abrasive contaminant. The model uses flash temperature in conjunction with the material properties to determine the critical particle size that may result in scuffing failure. The exact rating of fuel filter based on the critical particle size of the contaminant producing scuffing failure in the plunger and sleeve of hydraulic head assembly of RDFIP is also determined. The range of critical particle size initiating significant abrasive wear is determined and validated with the experimental results available in literature.
