ABSTRACTTo estimate the cesium sorption by the bentonite and to obtain the isotherms, some batch-adsorption experiments are being carried out, being the Kd (retardation coefficient) calculated from these isotherms. One-dimensional flow cell was constructed to measure the bentonite permeability regarding to a cesium solution, which results will be used to evaluate the diffusion coefficient – D. It will be used the PHREEQC software to model the transport of the cesium radionuclide through this bentonite with the Kd and D data. The modelling of radionuclide transport in the Brazilian materials will contribute to evaluate the efficiency of multi-barriers system of the national repository, because it is one of its safety criteria.

Negative Diffusion

An interesting anomaly in the diffusion process with an apparently negative diffusion coefficient defined through the mean-square displacement in a one-dimensional quantum molecular chain model is shown. Nevertheless, the system satisfies the H-theorem so that the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied. The reason why the “diffusion constant” becomes negative is due to the effect of the phase mixing process, which is a characteristic result of the one-dimensionality of the system. We illustrate the situation where this negative “diffusion constant” appears.

A procedure to predict the complete performance map of turbocharger centrifugal compressors is presented. This is based on a one-dimensional flow analysis using existing published loss correlations that were available and thermodynamic models to describe the incidence loss and slip factor variation at flow rates which differ from the design point. To predict the losses within the complete compressor stage using a one-dimensional flow procedure, it is necessary to introduce a number of empirical parameters. The uncertainty associated with these empirical parameters is assessed by studying the effect of varying them upon the individual losses and upon the overall predicted performance.

Average Flow Model

The average flow model presented by Patir and Cheng [1] is evaluated. First, it is shown that the choice of grid used in the average flow model influences the results. The results presented are different from those given by Patir and Cheng. Second, it is shown that the introduction of two-dimensional flow greatly reduces the effect of roughness on flow. Results based on one-dimensional flow cannot be relied upon for two-dimensional problems. Finally, some average flow factors are given for truncated rough surfaces. These can be applied to partially worn surfaces. The most important conclusion reached is that an even closer examination of the average flow concept is needed before the results can be applied with confidence to lubrication problems.

AbstractWe prove that by taking suitable initial distributions only finitely many measurements on the boundary are required to recover uniquely the diffusion coefficient of a one dimensional fractional diffusion equation. If a lower bound on the diffusion coefficient is known a priori then even only two measurements are sufficient. The technique is based on possibility of extracting the full boundary spectral data from special lateral measurements.

Abstract Supersonic combustion induced by a two-shock system has been studied using a chemical nonequilibrium, quasi one-dimensional flow model. The combustion of stoichiometric, premixed H2-air is described by a chemistry model which consists of 11 species and 28 reactions. The freestream Mach numbers used in this calculations are 8, 10 and 12. The initial pressure is 0.01 atm and temperature 300 K. The first of the two shocks is a conical shock and the second is its reflection. Supersonic combustion has been predicted to occur at combustor pressures between 0.8 and 2.9 atmospheres, and temperatures between 1500 and 3000 K. The Mach number of the flow in the combustor is between 1.7 and 4. These combustor conditions are typical of the future hypersonic propulsion systems. The results also show the changes in the composition of the flow during the induction and heat release phases. The two-shock system is assumed to be generated by a cone. For Mach 8, 10 and 12, the minimum cone angle for generating a strong enough two-shock system to induce supersonic combustion has also been identified.
