Vortex Bubble Formation in Pair Plasmas

It is shown that delocalized vortex solitons in relativistic pair plasmas with small temperature asymmetries can be unstable for intermediate intensities of the background electromagnetic field. Instability leads to the generation of ever-expanding cavitating bubbles in which the electromagnetic fields are zero. The existence of such electromagnetic bubbles is demonstrated by qualitative arguments based on a hydrodynamic analogy, and by numerical solutions of the appropriate Nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a saturating nonlinearity.Comment: 4 pages of two-column text, 2 figure

METHODICAL APPROACH TO IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF CORROSION DAMAGES OF CORROSION THE CASING STEEL TUBES IN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY

Methodological approach of identification and quantification of corrosion damages of the steel tubes which use for casing the well in petroleum industry are presented in the paper. A description and consequence of steel corrosion of casing steel tubes with examples from experience were also analyzed. Initiate steps with the aim to prevent these phenomena are considere

Cavitation damages morphology of high-strength low-alloy steel

This paper presents the research into behaviour of HSLA steel affected by cavitation. The parent material (PM) and simulated heat-affected zone (SHAZ) were studied. Ultrasonic vibratory cavitation test was performed in laboratory conditions (by stationary specimen method). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the variations in the surface morphology that occurred within different time intervals

Filamentation and coalescence of singular optical pulses in narrow-gap semiconductors and modeling of self-organization of vortex solitons using two-photon absorption

Short intense laser pulses with phase singularity propagating in narrow-gap semiconductors are modeled. The saturating nonlinearity is a prerequisite for self-organization of pulses into solitons. The cubic-quintic saturation appears due to the conduction-band nonparabolicity in synergy with the free carriers excitation through two-photon absorption. The pulse stability analyzed using Lyapunov’s method is confirmed by numerical simulations. Depending of its power, a singular Gaussian pulse far from equilibrium either filaments or subsequently coalesces evolving toward vortex soliton. Above breaking power, such a vortex soliton resists to azimuthal symmetry-breaking perturbations

Stability and nesting of dissipative vortex solitons with high vorticity

Using the variational method extended to dissipative systems and numerical simulations, an analytical stability criterion is established allowing the determination of stability domains of parameters for vortices with high topological charge S. Parameters from these domains are used as inputs for numerical self-generation of previously unexplored coexisting stable vortex solitons with topological charge ranging from S=3 to S=20. The nesting of low-vorticity solitons within those of higher vorticity is discovered. Such a self-organized structuring of light allows for selective dynamic nanophotonic tweezing

PRESSURE INFLUENCE TO EXTRACTION SYSTEM HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM – SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is an efficient extraction technique for the separation of various organic compounds from herbs, or more generally, from plant materials. As cultivate plant (plant from plantation) Helichrysum italicum from municipality Novi Grad was used in this research. The influence of pressure on total extract yield at flow rate 53.5 dm3 /h (calculated at normal state), for extraction time 3 h was investigated. Extraction was performed by supercritical carbon dioxide at different pressures (80, 150, 250 and 350 bar) and constant temperature of 40°C. The extraction yield increase from 0.35 to 5.71% (g/100g drug) by pressure increasing of supercritical extraction by carbon dioxide (isothermal process, t = 40°C). Essential oil content in obtained CO2 extracts was from 6.70 to 31.12%. The highest content of essential oil was in CO2 extract obtained by extraction of drug at p = 80 bar and t = 40°C (31.12%). Qualitative and quantitative determination of CO2 extracts obtained at pressure of 80 and 350 bar as well as of essential oils obtained from extracts, were performed using GC - MS method. The main component were tritriacontane (27.13%) and nonacosane (13.28%). The dominant component in essential oils obtained from extracts was γ – curcumene (28.27 and 27.42%, respectively)

Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Aramid Fabrics Impregnated with Carbon Nanotube/Poly (Vinyl Butyral)/Ethanol Solution

In this study six samples of polyurethane/p-aramid multiaxial fabric forms (Colon fabrics) were coated with 10 wt.% poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB)/ethanol solution with the addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The solution was impregnated on both sides of each of the fabrics. All composite samples consisted of four layers of the impregnated fabrics. The MWCNT/PVB content was 0, 0.1 and 1 wt.%. The three samples of the fabrics with different MWCNT/PVB content were coated with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AMEO silane)/ethanol solution due to the surface modification. The mechanical properties of the prepared composite samples were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The 60% increase in storage modulus was achieved by addition of MWCNT and impregnation of aramid fabrics with AMEO silane. The pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were introduced in order to enhance additionally the mechanical properties of the materials for ballistic protection
