The formation of sodium disulfite by the heterogeneous reaction of solid active sodium sulfite with gaseous sulfur dioxide in the presence of water vapour was investigated over the temperature range of 293 to 393 K at SO2. H2O and O2 partial pressures of 1.2-7.4, 1.2-6.4 and 0-11.3 kPa, respectively. The effect of the reaction time was also examined. Kinetic measurements were supplemented with the determination of the equilibrium dissociation pressure of SO2 in contact with sodium sulfite at 373.15 K. The major aim of the work was to establish the optimum conditions for attaining the maximum degree of conversion of the solid reactant to sodium disulfite. The conditions for the formation of virtually pure sodium disulfite were found.

The influence of different wettability on explosive boiling exhibits a significant distinction, where the hydrophobic surface is beneficial for bubble nucleation and the hydrophilic surface enhances the critical heat flux. Therefore, to receive a more suitable surface for the explosive boiling, in this paper a hybrid hydrophobic–hydrophilic nanostructured surface was built by the method of molecular dynamics simulation. The onset temperatures of explosive boiling with various coating thickness, pillar width, and film thicknesses were investigated. The simulation results show that the hybrid nanostructure can decrease the onset temperature compared to the pure hydrophilic surface. It is attributed to the effect of hydrophobic coating, which promotes the formation of bubbles and causes a quicker liquid film break. Furthermore, with the increase of the hydrophobic coating thickness, the onset temperature of explosive boiling decreases. This is because the process of heat transfer between the liquid film and the hybrid nanostructured surface is inevitably enhanced. In addition, the onset temperature of explosive boiling on the hybrid wetting surface decreases with the increase of pillar width and liquid film thickness.

Super Yang Mills Theory

Abstract We construct the 4-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N}=\frac{1}{2} $$ N = 1 2 and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 inhomogeneously mass-deformed super Yang-Mills theories from the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1* and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2* theories, respectively, and analyse their supersymmetric vacua. The inhomogeneity is attributed to the dependence of background fluxes in the type IIB supergravity on a single spatial coordinate. This gives rise to inhomogeneous mass functions in the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory which describes the dynamics of D3-branes. The Killing spinor equations for those inhomogeneous theories lead to the supersymmetric vacuum equation and a boundary condition. We investigate two types of solutions in the $$ \mathcal{N}=\frac{1}{2} $$ N = 1 2 theory, corresponding to the cases of asymptotically constant mass functions and periodic mass functions. For the former case, the boundary condition gives a relation between the parameters of two possibly distinct vacua at the asymptotic boundaries. Brane interpretations for corresponding vacuum solutions in type IIB supergravity are also discussed. For the latter case, we obtain explicit forms of the periodic vacuum solutions.

Bidirectional coupling systems for electricity and natural gas composed of gas units and power-to-gas (P2G) facilities improve the interactions between different energy systems. In this paper, a combined optimization planning method for an electricity-natural gas coupling system with P2G was studied. Firstly, the characteristics of the component model of the electricity-natural gas coupling system were analyzed. The optimization planning model for the electricity-natural gas coupling system was established with the goal of minimizing the sum of the annual investment costs and the annual operation costs. Based on the established model, the construction statuses for different types of units, power lines, and pipelines and the output distribution values for gas units and P2G stations were optimized. Then, the immune algorithm was proposed to solve the optimization planning model. Finally, an electricity-natural gas coupling system composed of a seven-node natural gas system and a nine-node power system was taken as an example to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the model under different scenarios.

Abstract We critically examine the magnitude of theoretical uncertainties in perturbative calculations of fist-order phase transitions, using the Standard Model effective field theory as our guide. In the usual daisy-resummed approach, we find large uncertainties due to renormalisation scale dependence, which amount to two to three orders-of-magnitude uncertainty in the peak gravitational wave amplitude, relevant to experiments such as LISA. Alternatively, utilising dimensional reduction in a more sophisticated perturbative approach drastically reduces this scale dependence, pushing it to higher orders. Further, this approach resolves other thorny problems with daisy resummation: it is gauge invariant which is explicitly demonstrated for the Standard Model, and avoids an uncontrolled derivative expansion in the bubble nucleation rate.
