Phonon spectra, dispersion curves, and the specific heat of frozen argon, krypton, and xenon have been studied using a quasiharmonic central force rigid-atom model with interactions up to eighth neighbors. The effect of zero-point vibration is included by an iterative method and a modified Buckingham potential is used. There is reasonable agreement between theoretical and experimental results. A number of possibilities for the improvement of results have been discussed.

A T-matrix approach is used to calculate lattice dynamics of b.c.c. 4He. The phonon frequency dispersion curves and phonon group widths are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results of Osgood et al.

A simple shell model theory has been developed for the study of lattice dynamics of monatomic crystals. The phonon dispersion curves and variations of heat capacities with temperature are reported for solidified krypton and argon. The model parameters have been evaluated using the recent experimental values of elastic constants, polarizability of atoms, and a zone boundary frequency in each case. The zero point effects are also included by expressing the zero point energy in terms of the interatomic potential. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is found to improve appreciably by incorporating polarizability of atoms.

The shell model of Dick and Overhauser as developed by Cochran and Woods el al. has been applied to study theoretically the lattice dynamics of a cesium chloride crystal. The polarizabilities of both negative and positive ions have been taken into account in this treatment. The charges on the shells of the two ions come out to be of different magnitude. It is seen that the theoretical specific-heat variation with temperature based on this model is in fair agreement with experimental results in the range for which they have been obtained. The theoretical dispersion curves in the three symmetry directions are also given.

Background: Researchers working in the field of nanofluid have done many studies on the thermophysical properties of nanofluids. Among these studies, the number of studies on specific heat are rather limited. In the study of the heat transfer performance of nanofluids, it is necessary to increase the number of specific heat studies, whose subject is one of the important thermophysical properties. Objective: The authors aimed to measure the specific heat values of Al2O3/water, Cu/water nanofluids and Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluids using the DTA method, and compare the results with those frequently used in the literature. In addition, this study focuses on the effect of temperature and volume concentration on specific heat. Method: The two-step method was used in the preparation of nanofluids. The pure water selected as the base fluid was mixed with the Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles and Arabic Gum as the surfactant, firstly mixed in the magnetic stirrer for half an hour. It was then homogenized for 6 hours in the ultrasonic homogenizer. Results: After the experiments, the specific heat of nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid were compared and the temperature and volume concentration of specific heat were investigated. Then, the experimental results obtained for all three fluids were compared with the two frequently used correlations in the literature. Conclusion: Specific heat capacity increased with increasing temperature, and decreased with increasing volume concentration for three tested nanofluids. Cu/water has the lowest specific heat capacity among all tested fluids. Experimental specific heat capacity measurement results are compared by using the models developed by Pak and Cho and Xuan and Roetzel. According to experimental results, these correlations can predict experimental results within the range of ±1%.

The microscopic harmonic model of lattice dynamics of the binary chains of atoms is formulated and studied numerically. The dependence of spring constants of the nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions on the average distance between atoms are taken into account. The covering fractal dimensions [Formula: see text] of the Cantor-set-like phonon spec-tra (PS) of generalized Fibonacci and non-Fibonaccian aperiodic chains containing of 16384≤N≤33461 atoms are determined numerically. The dependence of [Formula: see text] on the strength Q of NN interactions and on R=mH/mL, where mH and mL denotes the mass of heavy and light atoms, respectively, are calculated for a wide range of Q and R. In particular we found: (1) The fractal dimension [Formula: see text] of the PS for the so-called goldenmean, silver-mean, bronze-mean, dodecagonal and Severin chain shows a local maximum at increasing magnitude of Q and R>1; (2) At sufficiently large Q we observe power-like diminishing of [Formula: see text] i.e. [Formula: see text], where α=−0.14±0.02 and α=−0.10±0.02 for the above specified chains and so-called octagonal, copper-mean, nickel-mean, Thue-Morse, Rudin-Shapiro chain, respectively.

A dual rotor rig is developed and is briefly discussed. The rig is capable of simulating dynamically the two spool aeroengine, though it does not physically resemble the actual aeroengine configuration. Critical speeds, mode shape, and unbalance response are determined experimentally. An extended transfer matrix procedure in complex variables is developed for obtaining unbalance response of dual rotor system. Experimental results obtained are compared with theoretical results and are found to be in reasonable agreement.
