Studies of a cell consisting of a sheet of a porous medium soaked with an aqueous electrolyte solution containing the mercurous ion and sandwiched between mercury pools show that steady-state electrolysis may be attained in the absence of convection. Several different porous matrices have been studied and, in some cases, a very simple model of the pore structure predicts behaviour close to that observed experimentally.

AbstractThe vanadium containing molecular sieve VAPO-5 was characterized by using cyclic voltammetry. The as-synthesized and calcined samples contain loosely bound VO2+ species that can be removed by immersion in the aqueous electrolyte solution. The steady-state cyclic voltammograms of VAPO-5 reveal two distinct reversible V(5+)/V(4+) processes centered at Eeq(I) = 0.11 V/SCE and Eeq(II) = −0.07 V/SCE. These processes have been proposed to arise from framework vanadium located at structurally distinct sites V-O-T (T = Al or P).

The main objective of this paper is to focus on a numerical study of viscous dissipation effect on the steady state flow of MHD Williamson nanofluid. A mathematical modeled which resembles the physical flow problem has been developed. By using an appropriate transformation, we converted the system of dimensional PDEs (nonlinear) into coupled dimensionless ODEs. The numerical solution of these modeled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is achieved by utilizing shooting technique together with Adams-Bashforth Moulton method of order four. Finally, the results of discussed for different parameters through graphs and tables.

The paper presents a simple model of recrystallization with countercurrent flows of the solution and the crystals being purified. The model assumes steady-state operating conditions, an equilibrium between the outlet streams of each stage, and the same equilibrium temperature and distribution coefficient for all stages. With these assumptions, the model provides the basis for analyzing the variation in the degree of purity as a function of the number of recrystallization stages. The analysis is facilitated by the use of a diagram constructed for the limiting case of perfect removal of the mother liquor from the crystals between the stages.

This work presents a data-driven Reduced-Order Model (ROM) for parametric convective heat transfer problems in porous media. The intrusive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition aided Reduced-Basis (POD-RB) technique is employed to reduce the porous medium formulation of the incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with heat transfer. Instead of resolving the exact flow configuration with high fidelity, the porous medium formulation solves a homogenized flow in which the fluid-structure interactions are captured via volumetric flow resistances with nonlinear, semi-empirical friction correlations. A supremizer approach is implemented for the stabilization of the reduced fluid dynamics equations. The reduced nonlinear flow resistances are treated using the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM), while the turbulent eddy viscosity and diffusivity are approximated by adopting a Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation-based approach. The proposed method is tested using a 2D numerical model of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR), which involves the simulation of both clean and porous medium regions in the same domain. For the steady-state example, five model parameters are considered to be uncertain: the magnitude of the pumping force, the external coolant temperature, the heat transfer coefficient, the thermal expansion coefficient, and the Prandtl number. For transient scenarios, on the other hand, the coastdown-time of the pump is the only uncertain parameter. The results indicate that the POD-RB-ROMs are suitable for the reduction of similar problems. The relative L2 errors are below 3.34% for every field of interest for all cases analyzed, while the speedup factors vary between 54 (transient) and 40,000 (steady-state).

An elongation block to RNA polymerase II transcription in exon 1 is a major regulatory step in expression of the murine adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene. Previous work in the laboratory identified abundant short transcripts with 3' termini in exon 1 in steady-state RNA from injected oocytes. Using a cell-free system to investigate the mechanism of premature 3' end formation, we found that polymerase II generates prominent ADA transcripts approximately 96 to 100 nucleotides in length which are similar to the major short transcripts found in steady-state RNA from oocytes injected with ADA templates. We have determined that these transcripts are the processed products of 108- to 112-nucleotide precursors. Precursor formation is (i) favored in reactions using circular templates, (ii) not the result of a posttranscriptional processing event, (iii) sensitive to low concentrations of Sarkosyl, and (iv) dependent on a factor(s) which is inactivated in crude extracts at 47 degrees C for 15 min. The cell-free system will allow further characterization of the template and factor requirements involved in the control of premature 3' end formation by RNA polymerase II.

We consider a model of economic growth with altruistic agents who care about their consumption and the disposable income of their offspring. The agents' consumption and the offspring's disposable income are subject to positional concerns. We show that, if the measure of consumption-related positional concerns is sufficiently low and/or the measure of offspring-related positional concerns is sufficiently high, then there is a unique steady-state equilibrium, which is characterized by perfect income and wealth equality, and all intertemporal equilibira converge to it. Otherwise, in steady-state equilibria, the population splits into two classes, the rich and the poor; under this scenario, in any intertemporal equilibrium, all capital is eventually owned by the households that were the wealthiest from the outset and all other households become poor.
