Recorder/processor apparatus

Laser beam is intensity modulated in response to incoming video signals. Latent image is recorded on rotating drum which generates raster in conjunction with incrementally-driven lens carriage. Image is fed automatically to thermal processor; actual image is developed by controlled application of heat onto medium containing latent image

Microfog lubricant application system for advanced turbine engine components - Determination of the velocities, particle size distributions, and wettabilities of microfog streams of various lubricants Final report

Determination of velocities, particle size distributions, and wettabilities of microfog streams of various lubricant

Microfog lubricant application system for advanced turbine engine components, phase 2. Tasks 3, 4 and 5: Wettability and heat transfer of microfog jets impinging on a heated rotating disc, and evaluation of reclassifying nozzles and a vortex mist generator

The wettabilities and heat transfer rates of microfog jets (oil-mist nozzle flows) impinging on a heated rotating disc were determined under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen at temperatures ranging from 600 to 800 F. The results are discussed in relation to the various factors involved in the microfog lubricant application systems. Two novel reclassifying nozzles and a vortex mist generator were also studied

Electronic Structures of Antiperovskite Superconductor MgCNi3_3 and Related Compounds

Electronic structure of a newly discovered antiperovskite superconductor MgCNi$_3$ is investigated by using the LMTO band method. The main contribution to the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi energy $E_{\rm F}$ comes from Ni 3$d$ states which are hybridized with C 2$p$ states. The DOS at $E_{\rm F}$ is varied substantially by the hole or electron doping due to the very high and narrow DOS peak located just below $E_{\rm F}$. We have also explored electronic structures of C-site and Mg-site doped MgCNi$_3$ systems, and described the superconductivity in terms of the conventional phonon mechanism.Comment: 3 pages, presented at ORBITAL2001 September 11-14, 2001 (Sendai, JAPAN

Fragility, Stokes-Einstein violation, and correlated local excitations in a coarse-grained model of an ionic liquid

Dynamics of a coarse-grained model for the room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, couched in the united-atom site representation are studied via molecular dynamics simulations. The dynamically heterogeneous behavior of the model resembles that of fragile supercooled liquids. At or close to room temperature, the model ionic liquid exhibits slow dynamics, characterized by nonexponential structural relaxation and subdiffusive behavior. The structural relaxation time, closely related to the viscosity, shows a super-Arrhenius behavior. Local excitations, defined as displacement of an ion exceeding a threshold distance, are found to be mainly responsible for structural relaxation in the alternating structure of cations and anions. As the temperature is lowered, excitations become progressively more correlated. This results in the decoupling of exchange and persistence times, reflecting a violation of the Stokes-Einstein relation.Comment: Published on the Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. websit
