Significance of radiation models in investigating the flow phenomena around a Jovian entry body
Formulation is presented to demonstrate the significance of a simplified radiation model in investigating the flow phenomena in the viscous radiating shock layer of a Jovian entry body. The body configurations used are a 55 degree sphere cone and 50 degree hyperboloid. A nongray absorption model for hydrogen-helium gas is developed which consists of 30 steps over the spectral range of 0 to 20 eV. By employing this model, results were obtained for temperature, pressure, density, the shock layer and along the body surface. These are compared with results of two sophisticated radiative transport models available in the literature
Influence of nonequilibrium radiation and shape change on aerothermal environment of a Jovian entry body
The influence of nonequilibrium radiative energy transfer and the effect of probe configuration changes on the flow phenomena around a Jovian entry body are investigated. The radiating shock layer flow is assumed to be axisymmetric, viscous, laminar and in chemical equilibrium. The radiative transfer equations are derived under nonequilibrium conditions which include multilevel energy transitions. The equilibrium radiative transfer analysis is performed with an existing nongray radiation model which accounts for molecular band, atomic line, and continuum transitions. The nonequilibrium results are obtained with and without ablation injection in the shock layer. The nonequilibrium results are found to be greatly influenced by the temperature distribution in the shock layer. In the absence of ablative products, the convective and radiative heating to the entry body are reduced under nonequilibrium conditions. The influence of nonequilibrium is found to be greater at higher entry altitudes. With coupled ablation and carbon phenolic injection, 16 chemical species are used in the ablation layer for radiation absorption. Equilibrium and nonequilibrium results are compared under peak heating conditions
Influence of nonequilibrium radiation and shape change on aerothermal environment of Jovian entry body
Radiative transfer equations are derived under nonequilibrium conditions which include multilevel energy transitions. The nonequalibrium results, obtained with and without ablation injection in the shock layer, are found to be greatly influenced by the temperature distribution in the shock layer. In the absence of ablative products, the convective and radiative heating to the entry body are reduced significantly under nonequilibrium conditions. The influence of nonequilibrium is found to be greater at higher entry altitudes. With coupled ablation and carbon phenolic injection, 16 chemical species are used in the ablation layer for radiation absorption. Equilibrium and nonequilibrium results are compared under peak heating conditions. A 45 degree sphere cone, a 35 degree hyperboloid, and a 45 degree ellipsoid were used to study probe shape change. Results indicate that the shock layer flow field and heat transfer to the body are influenced significantly by the probe shape change. The effect of shape change on radiative heating of the afterbodies is found to be considerably larger for the sphere cone and ellipsoid than for the hyperboloid
Infrared band absorptance correlations and applications to nongray radiation
Various mathematical models for infrared radiation absorption spectra for atmospheric gases are reviewed, and continuous correlations for the total absorptance of a wide band are presented. Different band absorptance correlations were employed in two physically realistic problems (radiative transfer in gases with internal heat source, and heat transfer in laminar flow of absorbing-emitting gases between parallel plates) to study their influence on final radiative transfer results. This information will be applied to the study of atmospheric pollutants by infrared radiation measurement
Magnetotransport studies of FeSe under hydrostatic pressure
The discoveries of iron-based superconductors with relatively high transition
temperature are under intense experimental and theoretical investigation. Here
we present magnetotransport measurements on FeSe superconductor under
hydrostatic pressure. We show that in Fe-deficient tetragonal FeSe binary
compound, the onset of superconducting transition is almost doubled under
1.98GPa pressure and the estimated upper critical field of 26.7Tesla is
increased to 47.5Tesla.Comment: Short MS: 8 pages Text + Figs. Pressure induced increase in Tc and

Impact of hydrostatic pressure on superconductivity of Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2
We report the impact of hydrostatic pressure (0-1.97GPa) on superconductivity
of recently discovered 2K superconductor Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2. Resistivity under
pressure measurements are performed by using HPC-33 Piston type pressure cell
with Quantum design DC resistivity Option. The superconducting transition
temperature (Tc) is increased by 5 fold to around 10K with just above 1GPa
pressure, which remains nearly unaltered for studied higher pressures of up to
1.97GPa. The fivefold increase in Tc of Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2 with just above 1GPa
pressure suggests very strong electron correlations in these systems and the
same calls for the attention of solid state physics community.Comment: 11 pages text + Figs: Five fold increase in Tc with Just above 1GP
Appearance of bulk Superconductivity under Hydrostatic Pressure in Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 (RE = Ce, Nd, Pr and Sm) compounds
We report the appearance of superconductivity under hydrostatic pressure
(0.35 to 2.5GPa) in Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 with RE = Ce, Nd, Pr and Sm. The studied
compounds, synthesized by solid state reaction route, are crystallized in
tetragonal P4/nmm space group. At ambient pressure though the RE = Ce exhibit
the onset of superconductivity below 2.5K, the Nd, Pr and Sm samples are not
superconducting down to 2K. With application of hydrostatic pressure (up to
2.5GPa), superconducting transition temperature is increased to around 10K for
all the studied samples. The magneto-transport measurements are carried out on
all the samples with maximum Tc i.e., at under 2.5GPa pressure and their upper
critical fields are determined. The new superconducting compounds appear to be
quite robust against magnetic field but within Pauli paramagnetic limit. The
new superconducting compounds with various RE (Ce, Nd, Pr and Sm) belonging to
Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2 family are successfully synthesized for the first time and
superconductivity is induced in them under hydrostatic pressure.Comment: 17 pages text + Figs: First report on Sr0.5(Ce/Nd/Pr/Sm)0.5FBiS2 new

In the present work, we measure the temperature dependent electrical
resistivity from 300K down to 2K under applied hydrostatic pressure of upto
2.5GPa for SrFBiS2, which is the parent compound for the BiS2 based
superconductors. Though the normal state resistivity of the compound decreases
with pressure, the same is not superconducting down to 2K under applied
pressure of up to 2.5Gpa.Comment: 4 pages text + Figs. First report related to pressure effect on
