A theoretical study is performed about the hydrodynamic interaction of fine species entrapped in the boundary layer (BL) at solid wall (plate). The key starting point is the analysis of the disturbance introduced by solid spheres in the background fluid flow. For a neutrally buoyant entity, the type of interaction is determined by the size of the spheres as compared to the thickness of the BL region. The result is granulometric separation of the solids inside the BL domain at the wall. The most important result in view of potential applications concerns the so-called small particles Rp < L/ReL5/4 (ReL is the Reynolds number of the background flow and Rp is the radius of the entrapped sphere). In the case of non-neutrally buoyant particles, gravity interferes with the separation effect. Important factor in this case is the relative density of the solid species as compared to this of the fluid. In view of further practical uses, particles within the range of Δρ/ρ < Fr2/ReL1/2 (Fr is Froude number and Δρ/ρ is the relative density of the entrapped solids) are systematically studied. The trajectories inside the BL region of the captured species are calculated. The obtained data show that there are preferred regions along the wall where the fine solids are detained. The results are important for the assessment of the general efficiency of entrapment and segregation of fine species in the vicinity of solid walls and have high potential for further design of industrial separation processes.

Fe3O4 hollow microspheres with good dispersibility and high saturation magnetization were synthesized through a facile one-step solvothermal method. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure was studied by taking time-dependent experiments. Porous [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 nanosheets were firstly fabricated. Fe3O4 solid spheres aggregated by small particles were obtained from the transition of [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3. Finally, the solid sphere is transferred to hollow sphere through Ostwald ripening. The maximum saturation magnetization of the hollow spheres is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]emu/g, which is higher than some results reported in references. The Fe3O4 hollow spheres show potential applications in microwave absorption and photocatalysis.

The classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to clarify the effects of structural clearances in nanometer scale on thermal resistance at a liquid-solid interface. A liquid molecular region confined between the solid walls, of which the interparticle potential was Lennard-Jones type, was employed as a calculation system. The solid walls consisted of three atomic layers where the temperature of the middle layer was controlled by the Langevin method. Heat flux in the system was calculated numerically by integrating the forces that acted on the temperature controlled atoms by the Langevin method. The temperature jump between the solid wall and the liquid molecular region was calculated numerically. The thermal resistance at a liquid-solid interface was calculated numerically with changing the surface structural clearances in nanometer scale. Temperature gradient and liquid density were also changed as calculation parameters. With changing the surface structural clearances from 0nm to 2.5nm the thermal resistance at the interface once decreased and became the minimum value when the structural clearances were between 0.6 to 1.0 nm. The thermal resistance between the solid and the liquid increased when the structural clearances were more than 1.0nm. With the increase of the liquid density the thermal resistance between the solid and the liquid substantially decreased regardless of the temperature gradient and the surface structures in nanometer scale.

The possibility to perform bioprocesses with reduced ecological footprint to produce natural compounds and catalyzers of industrial interest is pushing the research for salt tolerant microorganisms able to grow on seawater-based media and able to use a wide range of nutrients coming from waste. In this study we focused our attention on a Debaryomyces hansenii marine strain (Mo40). We optimized cultivation in a bioreactor at low pH on seawater-based media containing a mixture of sugars (glucose and xylose) and urea. Under these conditions the strain exhibited high growth rate and biomass yield. In addition, we characterized potential applications of this yeast biomass in food/feed industry. We show that Mo40 can produce a biomass containing 45% proteins and 20% lipids. This strain is also able to degrade phytic acid by a cell-bound phytase activity. These features represent an appealing starting point for obtaining D. hansenii biomass in a cheap and environmentally friendly way, and for potential use as an additive or to replace unsustainable ingredients in the feed or food industries, as this species is included in the QPS EFSA list (Quality Presumption as Safe—European Food Safety Authority).

This paper presents a novel theory regarding the blade loading and the passage flow field within general turbomachineries. The basic philosophy is to establish an analytical relation between the loading, the flow angle, and the blade geometry based on the conservation of energy. Detailed validations and analyses will be carried out to provide a general scope regarding the theory itself as well as its advantages and limitations in common applications. The paper includes the theoretical derivation of the target relation. The starting point is the standard RANS equations. From that, with the aid of the passage-average operator, the relation between the loading and the passage flow field is derived under the energy balance. Theoretical analyses regarding the validity of the relation are performed based on the simulation results and test data on different cascades. Discussions are conducted regarding the assumption and potential applications of the theory. Conclusions are drawn on the applicability of the theory to introduce its potential applications in general turbomachineries.

In recent years, many papers describing ionic liquids (IL) as promising solvents in separation techniques have been published. The conscious choice of appropriate ionic liquid as absorption media in effective extraction of selected types of analytes requires deeper understanding of the analyte−IL interactions. Therefore, intensive research is conducted to determine the values of activity coefficient at infinite dilution, which allows us to characterize the nature of these interactions. Based on the inverse gas chromatography retention data, activity coefficients at infinite dilution γ 13 ∞ of 48 different organic compounds in the ionic liquids N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [C2C1Mor][TFSI] and N-octyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [C8C1Mor][TFSI] were determined. The measurements covered a broad range of volatile organic compounds, including n-alkanes, n-alkenes, n-alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, aromatic compounds and common polar solvents, representing different types of interactions. Activity coefficients at infinite dilution were measured in the temperature range from 313.15 to 363.15 K. The excess partial molar enthalpies and entropies at infinite dilution were determined. Selectivity at infinite dilution was also calculated for exemplary separation processes in the hexane/benzene system. The obtained results were analyzed and compared with literature data for ionic liquids containing the same anion [TFSI]¯ and different cations. The study results indicate that some potential applications of the investigated ionic liquids in separation problems exist.

An infrared thermoviewer is utilized to measure the temperature distribution on solid walls and vapor-liquid interfaces of the rectangular capillary microgrooves heat sink, which is made of borosilicate glass. The infrared thermal image clearly shows that the solid wall temperature of microgroove top is lower than the average temperature of vapor-liquid interface. The results indicate that heat source position has a significant influence on the microgrooves surface temperature distribution, besides working liquid, tilt angle (the angle between microgroove surface and gravity direction) and heat flux.

Development And Validation

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is an important part of human civilization and a major tourism resource type. In the ICH tourism development process, many stakeholders are involved. Although inheritors have a core position in this group, there is not enough research investigating the sustainable development of ICH tourism from the perspective of inheritors. Since value cognition is the basis that guides people’s behaviors, the value cognition of the ICH inheritors might be the starting point to understanding their behaviors. Considering this context, the main aim of this research is to describe the development and validation of a scale to assess the cognition values by ICH inheritors. By generating items, purifying, examining the scale’s dimensionality, and evaluating reliability and validity, a 25-item instrument is developed. The article concludes with a discussion of potential applications of the scale.
