ABSTRACTA model based on ion pairing for the simulation of donor and acceptor codiffusion in silicon is presented. The proposed model allows us to obtain a good agreement with the experimental profiles over a wide range of diffusion conditions, specially at high concentrations where the standard process simulator codes give results strongly inaccurate. Comparison of the simulations with new and literature codiffusion profiles is provided.

Hydroplaning on wet pavement occurs when a vehicle reaches a critical speed and causes a loss of contact between its tires and the pavement surface. This paper presents the development of a three-dimensional finite volume model that simulates the hydroplaning phenomenon. The theoretical considerations of the flow simulation model are described. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results in the literature and with those obtained by the well-known hydroplaning equation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The tire pressure–hydroplaning speed relationship predicted by the model is found to match well the one obtained with the NASA hydroplaning equation. Analyses of the results of the present study indicate that pavement microtexture in the 0.2- to 0.5-mm range can delay hydroplaning (i.e., raise the speed at which hydroplaning occurs). The paper also shows that the NASA hydroplaning equation provides a conservative estimate of the hydroplaning speed. The analyses in the present study indicate that when the microtexture of the pavement is considered, the hydroplaning speed predicted by the proposed model deviates from the speed predicted by the smooth surface relationship represented by the NASA hydroplaning equation. The discrepancies in hydroplaning speed are about 1% for a 0.1-mm microtexture depth and 22% for a 0.5-mm microtexture depth. The validity of the proposed model was verified by a check of the computed friction coefficient against the experimental results reported in the literature for pavement surfaces with known microtexture depths.

The 1,2-carbastanna-closo-dodecaborate, [SnCB10H11]–, was found via DFT calculations to have intermediate σ-donor/π-acceptor properties between those of [SnB11H11]2– and 3,1,2-SnC2B9H11, and quite similar HOMO and LUMO energies and shapes to those of [SnCl3]–, which is a stronger σ-donor and weaker π-acceptor than CO or PF3. The non-carbon containing cluster [SnB11H11]2– is shown to be a very strong donor, whereas the dicarbon cluster 3,1,2-SnC2B9H11 is a poor σ-donor but good Lewis acid, consistent with experimental results. Thus, these systems can be tuned across a very wide range via isolobal replacement of [BH]– for CH vertices. The higher negative charge in the non-carbon-containing systems, as well as the fact that boron is more electropositive than carbon, contribute to the increased energies of both HOMO and LUMO in the stannaboranes compared to the stannacarboranes, explaining their relative donor and acceptor properties.Key words: DFT calculations, tin, borane cluster.

This paper presents charge-based continuous equations for the transconductance and output conductance of submicrometer Graded-Channel (GC) Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) nMOSFET. The effects of carrier velocity saturation, channel length modulation and drain-induced barrier lowering were taken into account in the proposed equations. Experimental results were used to test the validity of the equations by comparing not only the transconductance and the output conductance, but also the Early voltage and the open-loop voltage gain, showing a good agreement in a wide range of bias.

In this paper the problem of transverse impact on a uniform beam is considered theoretically. Two examples which can be taken as representing a wide range of impacts which occur in practice are referred to particularly: (1) the beam struck transversely by a uniform square-ended rod travelling perpendicularly to it; (2) the same problem for the striker having a spherical end. In these examples it is shown that the ability of the beam to deflect in shear as well as in bending plays a dominant part in what takes place, and that, as far as the force between striker and beam is concerned, the length of the beam is usually without importance, as there is not time during the impact for an elastic wave to travel to the ends of the beam and return. It is shown that in regard to example (2) the theory presented is in good agreement with Arnold's experimental results obtained some years previously, and curves are given from which the maximum force between beam and striker can be obtained in terms of three parameters, representing respectively the velocity, the mass, and the radius of the striker, each dependent on the ratio of shear stiffness to bending stiffness for the beam.

AbstractA computationally simple thermodynamic framework has been presented to correlate the vapour-liquid equilibria of carbon dioxide absorption in five representative types of alkanolamine mixtures. The proposed model is an extension of modified Kent Eisenberg model for the carbon dioxide loaded aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model parameters are regressed on a large experimental data pool of carbon dioxide solubility in aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model is applicable to a wide range of temperature (298–393 K), pressure (0.1–6000 kPa) and alkanolamine concentration (0.3–5 M). The correlated results are compared to the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with the average deviations ranging between 6% and 20%. The model results are comparable to other thermodynamic models.

Part I of this two-part paper presented experimental results for externally-induced (EI) ingress, where the ingestion of hot gas through the rim seal into the wheel-space of a gas turbine is controlled by the circumferential variation of pressure in the external annulus. In Part II, experimental results are presented for rotationally-induced (RI) ingress, where the ingestion is controlled by the pressure generated by the rotating fluid in the wheel-space. Although EI ingress is the common form of ingestion through turbine rim seals, RI ingress or combined ingress (where EI and RI ingress are both significant) is particularly important for double seals, where the pressure asymmetries are attenuated in the annular space between the inner and outer seals. In this paper, the sealing effectiveness was determined from concentration measurements, and the variation of effectiveness with sealing flow rate was compared with theoretical curves for RI ingress obtained from an orifice model. Using a nondimensional sealing parameter Φ0 the data could be collapsed onto a single curve, and the theoretical variation of effectiveness with Φ0 was in very good agreement with the data for a wide range of flow rates and rotational speeds. It was shown that the sealing flow required to prevent RI ingress was much less than that needed for EI ingress, and it was also shown that the effectiveness of a radial-clearance seal is significantly better than that for an axial-clearance seal for both EI and RI ingress.

It has been observed experimentally that when a sphere ricochets off water or sand the critical impact angle depends on the impinging velocity. To explain this, a model is developed which takes into account the weight of the sphere and the static resistance of the medium into which penetration occurs. The proposed model can also treat processes in which the angle of impact is large and where the velocity of the sphere undergoes considerable change. Projectile trajectories which have been calculated for various conditions are presented and discussed. Numerical results for steel, aluminium alloy, and lead spheres are in good agreement with such experimental results as are available.

Some regions (or blocks) and their affiliated features of face images are normally of more importance for face recognition. However, the variety of feature contributions, which exerts different saliency on recognition, is usually ignored. This paper proposes a new sparse facial feature description model based on salience evaluation of regions and features, which not only considers the contributions of different face regions, but also distinguishes that of different features in the same region. Specifically, the structured sparse learning scheme is employed as the salience evaluation method to encourage sparsity at both the group and individual levels for balancing regions and features. Therefore, the new facial feature description model is obtained by combining the salience evaluation method with region-based features. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves better performance with much lower feature dimensionality.

A new model is proposed for analyzing the capacitive effects in a newly developed high frequency coaxial transformer (HFCT). The proposed model can describe both the electric energy storage and common-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise behaviors of a transformer, considering the voltage distribution in the HFCT windings. To determine the parameters of the model, a parasitic capacitance network is developed to describe the HFCT’s real winding’s structure, and the distributed parasitic capacitances of the network are evaluated using FEM based on the theory of capacitances in a multi-conductor system. The calculated inter-capacitance of the HFCT is in good agreement with the experimental results.

This paper proposes a new compact electrothermal model of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) dedicated for SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis). This model makes it possible to compute the non-isothermal DC characteristics of the considered transistor and the waveforms of terminal voltages and currents of the investigated device and its internal temperature at transients. This model takes into account the nonlinearity of thermal phenomena in this device. The form of the formulated model is described and the problem of estimating its parameter values is discussed. The correctness of the proposed model was verified experimentally both at DC operation and at transients. The obtained results are compared to the results of computations performed with the use of the classical literature model. A very good agreement between the results of measurements and computations performed with the new model is obtained at different cooling conditions and in a wide range of changes of parameters characterising the electrical excitation of the tested device.
