Effect of Diethylenetriamine and Triethylamine sensitization on the critical diameter of Nitromethane
In this work, the critical diameter for detonation was measured for Nitromethane (NM) sensitized with two different amines: Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Triethylamine (TEA). The critical diameter in glass and polyvinylchloride tubes is found to decrease rapidly as the amount of sensitizer is increased, then increase past a critical amount of sensitizer. Thus the critical diameter reaches a minimum at a critical concentration of sensitizer. It was also found that the critical diameter is lower with DETA than with TEA
Effect of surface asperity on elastohydrodynamic lubrication
The important aspects of elastohydrodynamic lubrication, with a single, one-dimensional asperity, have been found by solving numerically the coupled transient Reynolds equation and the elasticity equation. Even though the assumption of a single asperity is highly ideal, this study sheds some light on the effect of surface roughness on elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The results show that the film pressure tends to increase more than the steady state pressure, and in particular, the increase in pressure reaches a maximum as the asperity approaches the inlet of the contact region. The asperity height and the pressure increase above the steady state pressure are closely related to each other; the higher the asperity height, the larger the pressure increase. In the pure rolling case, it has been found that a local pressure peak is not developed. However, in the cases of sliding and rolling, a small, local pressure peak is developed on the pressure profile when the asperity moves into the contact region. In general, the overall film thickness profile increases with increasing asperity height, but is not significantly affected by the asperity width. Moreover, the slope of the overall film thickness profile for the transient cases is much greater than the steady state profile, which is approximately constant across the contact width. The increase in the center film thickness also depends upon the width and height of the asperity
Construction of optimal witness for unknown two-qubit entanglement
Whether entanglement in a state can be detected, distilled, and quantified
without full state reconstruction is a fundamental open problem. We demonstrate
a new scheme encompassing these three tasks for arbitrary two-qubit
entanglement, by constructing the optimal entanglement witness for
polarization-entangled mixed-state photon pairs without full state
reconstruction. With better efficiency than quantum state tomography, the
entanglement is maximally distilled by newly developed tunable polarization
filters, and quantified by the expectation value of the witness, which equals
the concurrence. This scheme is extendible to multiqubit
