Stable and unstable regimes in Bose-Fermi mixture with attraction between components

A collapse of the trapped boson- fermion mixture with the attraction between bosons and fermions is investigated in the framework of the effective Hamiltonian for the Bose system. The properties of the $^{87}$Rb and $^{40}$K mixture are analyzed quantitatively at $T= 0$. We find numerically solutions of modified Gross- Pitaevskii equation which continuously go from stable to unstable branch. We discuss the relation of the onset of collapse with macroscopic properties of the system. A comparison with the case of a Bose condensate of atomic $^7Li$ system is given.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

Shock-tube thermochemistry tables for high-temperature gases. Volume 5: Carbon dioxide

Equilibrium thermodynamic properties and species concentrations for carbon dioxide are tabulated for moving, standing, and reflected shock waves. Initial pressures range from 6.665 to 6665 N/sq m (0.05 to 50.0 torr), and temperatures from 2,000 to over 80,000K. In this study, 20 molecular and atomic species were considered

The agrin gene codes for a family of basal lamina proteins that differ in function and distribution

We isolated two cDNAs that encode isoforms of agrin, the basal lamina protein that mediates the motor neuron-induced aggregation of acetylcholine receptors on muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction. Both proteins are the result of alternative splicing of the product of the agrin gene, but, unlike agrin, they are inactive in standard acetylcholine receptor aggregation assays. They lack one (agrin-related protein 1) or two (agrin-related protein 2) regions in agrin that are required for its activity. Expression studies provide evidence that both proteins are present in the nervous system and muscle and that, in muscle, myofibers and Schwann cells synthesize the agrin-related proteins while the axon terminals of motor neurons are the sole source of agrin

Econometric and Environmental Optimization of Combined Cooling, Heating and Power Plant Operation

Combined Cooling, Heat and Power (CCHP) systems have great potential to recover low-grade thermal energy, resulting in higher energy efficiency, reduced emission rates, lower operating costs and a higher level of energy security. In order to fully realize the benefits of CCHP systems in terms of reduced cost and carbon dioxide emissions, effective optimization and control strategies are required. This work presents an approach for optimizing the operation of the CCHP system using a detailed network energy flow model solved by genetic algorithm. The optimal energy dispatch algorithm provides operational signals associated with resource allocation ensuring that the systems meet campus electricity, heating, and cooling demands. The performance of the system will be compared and evaluated with respect to economic and environmental benefits

Comparison of Steady-State and Dynamic Load-Based Performance Evaluation Methodologies for a Residential Air Conditioner

Space cooling and heating equipment account for nearly 32% of the total residential electricity consumption in the U.S. In the residential space conditioning equipment market, air-conditioning and heat-pumping systems are prevalent, so even a slight improvement in these system efficiencies can have a significant impact on reducing the overall energy consumption. Over the years, the energy efficiency benchmarks established by the U.S. Department of Energy have been successful in encouraging manufacturers to develop higher efficiency equipment. These benchmarks are based on an energy efficiency standard, and these standards are based on a rating test procedure that forms the technical basis. Currently, in the U.S., AHRI 210/240 is the rating procedure for residential air-conditioning and heat-pumping equipment, which is based on a steady-state performance measurement method with a degradation coefficient to account for the cycling losses in part-load conditions. Although it provides a standard metric to compare different equipment performances, there has been a debate that this current methodology fails to appropriately characterize the performance of systems with variable-speed compressors and advanced control design. This is largely attributed to the steady-state nature of this current testing approach, which also involves overriding the equipment native control. In contrast to this, a load-based testing methodology has been developed in which the equipment responds to a simulated virtual building load, and the system dynamic performance is measured with its integrated controls. The load-based testing methodology is described in detail by Hjortland and Braun (2019), Patil et al. (2018), and Cheng et al. (2021), which forms the basis for CSA standard draft EXP07:2019 (CSA, 2019). In this paper, these two performance measurement methodologies, steady-state and dynamic load-based, are compared for application to a 5ton residential heat-pump system. The equipment performance was measured in cooling mode and the seasonal performance estimates based on the two testing approaches are compared. The differences in the two test methodologies\u27 performance evaluation results are discussed with a causal analysis of the observed differences
