Warm molecular gas temperature distribution in six local infrared bright Seyfert galaxies

We simultaneously analyze the spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) of CO and H2 of six local luminous infrared (IR) Seyfert galaxies. For the CO SLEDs, we used new Herschel/SPIRE FTS data (from J=4-3 to J=13-12) and ground-based observations for the lower-J CO transitions. The H2 SLEDs were constructed using archival mid-IR Spitzer/IRS and near-IR VLT/SINFONI data for the rotational and ro-vibrational H2 transitions, respectively. In total, the SLEDs contain 26 transitions with upper level energies between 5 and 15000 K. A single, constant density, model (n$_{H_2}$ ~ 10$^{4.5-6}$ cm$^{-3}$) with a broken power-law temperature distribution reproduces well both the CO and H2 SLEDs. The power-law indices are $\beta_1$ ~ 1-3 for warm molecular gas (20 K < T 100 K). We show that the steeper temperature distribution (higher $\beta$) for hot molecular gas can be explained by shocks and photodissociation region (PDR) models, however, the exact $\beta$ values are not reproduced by PDR or shock models alone and a combination of both is needed. We find that the three major mergers among our targets have shallower temperature distributions for warm molecular gas than the other three spiral galaxies. This can be explained by a higher relative contribution of shock excitation, with respect to PDR excitation, for the warm molecular gas in these mergers. For only one of the mergers, IRASF 05189-2524, the shallower H2 temperature distribution differs from that of the spiral galaxies. The presence of a bright active galactic nucleus in this source might explain the warmer molecular gas observed.Comment: A&A in press; 15 pages, 7 figures. Fixed several typo

The Revised Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) as an ultra-brief screening measure of bidimensional mental health in children and adolescents

The Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) is a brief, valid, and reliable international instrument for assessing mental health in adults. The aim of the present study is to examine the psychometric properties of the MHI-5 in children and adolescents. A sample of 595 students (10-15 years old) completed the MHI-5 Spanish version adapted for this study, as well as another measure of anxiety and depression symptoms, and a clinical interview as a gold standard. The overall coefficient obtained indicate good internal consistency. A unique factor solution explaining a 53.70% and a two-factor structure explaining 69.20% of the total variance were obtained. The correlations with total and subscale scores of anxiety and depression were significant. A ROC analysis showed good properties as a screening test to predict anxiety and depressive diagnoses in children and adolescents. The Revised MHI-5 presents two essential changes: a simplified 4-point response format and a new factor solution including distress and well-being. These outcomes show that the Revised MHI-5 is a brief, valid, and reliable measure to bidimensionally assess mental health and screening emotional disorders in children and adolescents.

Fuel consumption and aftertreatment thermal management synergy in compression ignition engines at variable altitude and ambient temperature

Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published as https://doi.org/10.1177/14680874211035015[EN] New regulations applied to the transportation sector are widening the operation range where the pollutant emissions are evaluated. Besides ambient temperature, the driving altitude is also considered to reduce the gap between regulated and real-life emissions. The altitude effect on the engine performance is usually overcome by acting on the turbocharger control. The traditional strategy assumes to keep (or even to increase) the boost pressure, that is, compressor pressure ratio increase, as the altitude is increased to offset the ambient density reduction, followed by the reduction of the exhaust gas recirculation to reach the targeted engine torque. However, this is done at the expense of an increase on fuel consumption and emissions. This work remarks experimentally the importance of a detailed understanding of the effects of the boost pressure and low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LP-EGR) settings when the engine runs low partial loads at different altitudes, accounting for extreme warm and cold ambient temperatures. The experimental results allow defining and justifying clear guidelines for an optimal engine calibration. Opposite to traditional strategies, a proper calibration of the boost pressure and LP-EGR enables reductions in specific fuel consumption along with the gas temperature increase at the exhaust aftertreatment system.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research has been partially supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation from the Government of Spain through project PID2020-114289RB-I00.

Analysis of heavy-duty turbocharged diesel engine response under cold transient operation with a pre-turbo aftertreatment exhaust manifold configuration

Diesel particulate filters are the most useful technology to reduce particulate matter from the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Although these devices have suffered an intense development in terms of the management of filtration and regeneration, the effect of the system location on the engine performance is still a key issue that needs to be properly addressed. The present work is focused on a computational study regarding the effects of a pre-turbo aftertreatment placement under full and partial load transient operation at constant engine speed and low wall temperature along the exhaust line. The aim of the paper is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the engine response to define the guidelines of a control strategy that is able to get the standards of engine driveability during sudden accelerations under restraining thermal transient conditions governed by the aftertreatment thermal inertia. The proposed strategy overcomes the lack of temperature at the inlet of the turbine caused by the thermal transient by means of the boost and EGR control. It leads to a proper management of the power in the exhaust gas for the expansion in the turbine.This work was partially supported by the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia [grant number INNOVA 2011-3182].Bermúdez, V.; Serrano, J.; Piqueras, P.; García Afonso, Ó.

A possible flyby anomaly for Juno at Jupiter

[EN] In the last decades there have been an increasing interest in improving the accuracy of spacecraft navigation and trajectory data. In the course of this plan some anomalies have been found that cannot, in principle, be explained in the context of the most accurate orbital models including all known effects from classical dynamics and general relativity. Of particular interest for its puzzling nature, and the lack of any accepted explanation for the moment, is the flyby anomaly discovered in some spacecraft flybys of the Earth over the course of twenty years. This anomaly manifest itself as the impossibility of matching the pre and post-encounter Doppler tracking and ranging data within a single orbit but, on the contrary, a difference of a few mm/s in the asymptotic velocities is required to perform the fitting. Nevertheless, no dedicated missions have been carried out to elucidate the origin of this phenomenon with the objective either of revising our understanding of gravity or to improve the accuracy of spacecraft Doppler tracking by revealing a conventional origin. With the occasion of the Juno mission arrival at Jupiter and the close flybys of this planet, that are currently been performed, we have developed an orbital model suited to the time window close to the perijove. This model shows that an anomalous acceleration of a few mm/s(2) is also present in this case. The chance for overlooked conventional or possible unconventional explanations is discussed.

Experimental and computational approach to the transient behaviour of wall-flow diesel particulate filters

[EN] The implementation of tight vehicle emission standards has forced manufactures to use aftertreatment systems extensively. In addition to pollutant emissions abatement, these devices have a noticeable impact on the wave pattern. This fact affects the muffler design criteria. All monolithic aftertreatment devices produces a damping effect because of the honeycomb structure and the narrow channels. However, this response is more marked in wall-flow diesel particulate filters (DPF) because of the alternatively plugged ends and the dissipative properties of the porous substrate. The main goal of this paper is to assess the transient fluid-dynamic behaviour of wall-flow DPFs using experimental and modelling techniques. The experimental data were gathered in clean and loaded conditions. The DPF was subjected to a variety of pressure excitations to characterise its transient behaviour in the time and frequency domains. Afterwards, the DPF response was evaluated under engine-like operating conditions in an unsteady flow gas stand. Once the main characteristics of the response were known, a non-linear gas-dynamics model was proposed for analysis and prediction. The model accounts for space and time gradients, combining the thermo-and fluid-dynamic solution with a model based on a packed bed of spherical particles that defines the meso-structure of the loaded substrate.

The influence of consumption context on indulgent versus healthy yoghurts: exploring the relationship between the associated emotions and the actual choices

This work examines the associated emotions of consumers transmitted from extrinsic attributes (fat-related nutrition claims (full-fat, low-fat, and fat-free) and ingredient features (plain, berries, and double chocolate chunk)) labelled on yoghurt packages. It differentiates by consumption context (health versus indulgent) at the time of the survey and studies the relationship between the associated emotions (e.g., positive versus negative) attached to extrinsic attributes and the actual choices. The research was conducted in the Netherlands in 2019, with 209 regular consumers of yoghurt. Participants were divided into two treatments according to each consumption context and a control group (no context); they were instructed to imagine purchasing yoghurt to consume it as a healthy snack or as a dessert or received no instructions. After choosing their preferred option from a discrete choice experiment, participants indicated how the choice made them feel from a list of emotions. The results revealed significant differences between positive emotional profiles for choosing healthy (low-fat) yoghurts with berries and negative profiles for choosing less healthy alternatives (full-fat) with double chocolate chunk sensory features. The findings from a random parameter logit model showed that participants who continuously chose the same type of yoghurt in all choice tasks selected mostly positive rather than negative emotions. The overall findings suggest that the associated emotions affect yoghurt choices. However, the emotions were mainly affected by the consumption context. © 2022 by the authors.

Turbine and exhaust ports thermal insulation impact on the engine efficiency and aftertreatment inlet temperature

[EN] Worldwide emission regulations are driven the efforts of the automotive industry to meet challenging targets concerning pollution reduction. Nowadays, advances in exhaust aftertreatment systems are primarily required to achieve regulation requirements within the whole engine operating range. Nevertheless, flow parameters, such as the exhaust gas temperature, must be also addressed. This makes engine calibration a fundamental step, but also leads to reconsider the passive design of the exhaust line as a way to improve the engine efficiency. Under this context, a study has been conducted to explore the benefits of heat losses limitation looking for aftertreatment inlet temperature increase at the same time fuel economy is improved. To do so, a baseline diesel engine has been modeled using a gas dynamic software taking special care of the heat transfer processes in the exhaust. The investigation covers the definition of different strategies for exhaust ports and turbine thermal insulation, which are evaluated in a representative range of steady-state operating conditions. As a first step, the theoretical limits and representative technology solutions are considered for each exhaust region. Then, a combination of the most promising strategies has been computed to provide a comprehensive database and analysis of the potential of passive exhaust heat losses control.This research has been partially supported by FEDER and the Government of Spain through project TRA2016-79185-R.

On the Impact of Particulate Matter Distribution on Pressure Drop of Wall-Flow Particulate Filters

[EN] Wall-flow particulate filters are a required exhaust aftertreatment system to abate particulate matter emissions and meet current and incoming regulations applying worldwide to new generations of diesel and gasoline internal combustion engines. Despite the high filtration efficiency covering the whole range of emitted particle sizes, the porous substrate constitutes a flow restriction especially relevant as particulate matter, both soot and ash, is collected. The dependence of the resulting pressure drop, and hence the fuel consumption penalty, on the particulate matter distribution along the inlet channels is discussed in this paper taking as reference experimental data obtained in water injection tests before the particulate filter. This technique is demonstrated to reduce the particulate filter pressure drop without negative effects on filtration performance. In order to justify these experimental data, the characteristics of the particulate layer are diagnosed applying modeling techniques. Different soot mass distributions along the inlet channels are analyzed combined with porosity change to assess the new properties after water injection. Their influence on the subsequent soot loading process and regeneration is assessed. The results evidence the main mechanisms of the water injection at the filter inlet to reduce pressure drop and boost the interest for control strategies able to force the re-entrainment of most of the particulate matter towards the inlet channels' end.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through Grant No. TRA2016-79185-R.
