    Full text link
    In our investigation, we explore the quantum dynamics of charge-free scalar particles through the Klein-Gordon equation within the framework of rainbow gravity's, considering the Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda (BML) space-time background. The BML solution is characterized by the magnetic field strength along the axis of symmetry direction which is related with the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda and the topological parameter α\alpha of the geometry. The behavior of charge-free scalar particles described by the Klein-Gordon equation is investigated, utilizing two sets of rainbow functions: (i) f(χ)=(eβχ1)βχf(\chi)=\frac{(e^{\beta\,\chi}-1)}{\beta\,\chi},\, h(χ)=1h(\chi)=1 and (ii) f(χ)=1f(\chi)=1,\, h(χ)=1+βχ2h(\chi)=1+\frac{\beta\,\chi}{2}. Here 0<(χ=EEp)10 < \Big(\chi=\frac{|E|}{E_p}\Big) \leq 1 with EE represents the particle's energy, EpE_p is the Planck's energy, and β\beta is the rainbow parameter. We obtain the approximate analytical solutions for the scalar particles and conduct a thorough analysis of the obtained results. Afterwards, we study the quantum dynamics of quantum oscillator fields within this BML space-time, employing the Klein-Gordon oscillator. Here also, we choose the same sets of rainbow functions and obtained approximate eigenvalue solution for the oscillator fields. Notably, we demonstrate that the relativistic approximate energy profiles of charge-free scalar particles and oscillator fields get influenced by the topology of the geometry and the cosmological constant. Furthermore, we show that the energy profiles of scalar particles get modifications by the rainbow parameter and the quantum oscillator fields by both the rainbow parameter and the frequency of oscillationComment: 20 pages; 4 figures; accepted in CTP (http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1572-9494/ad2e88); arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2312.0661

    Quantum dynamics of spin-0 particles in a cosmological space-time

    Full text link
    In this paper, our focus is on investigating the impact of cosmological constant on relativistic quantum systems comprising spin-0 scalar particles. Our analysis centers around the Klein-Gordon equation, and we obtain both approximate and exact analytical solutions for spin-0 particles of the quantum system. Afterwards, we explore quantum oscillator fields by considering the Klein-Gordon oscillator within the same space-time characterized by a cosmological constant. We obtain an approximate expression for the energy eigenvalue of the oscillator fields. In fact, the energy spectrum in both scenarios are examined and show the influences of the cosmological constant and geometry's topology. Our investigation is situated within the context of a magnetic universe-a four-dimensional cosmological space-time recognized as the Bonnor-Melvin universeComment: 15 pages; 3 figures, published in NPB; arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2312.06615, arXiv:2312.0762

    Relativistic spin-0 Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation in Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda solution

    Full text link
    In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive exploration of the relativistic quantum dynamics of spin-0 scalar particles, as described by the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) equation, within the framework of a magnetic space-time. Our focus is on the Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda (BML) solution, a four-dimensional magnetic universe characterized by a magnetic field that varies with axial distance. To initiate this investigation, we derive the radial equation using a suitable wave function ansatz and subsequently employ special functions to solve it. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to include Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau oscillator fields within the same BML space-time background. We derive the corresponding radial equation and solve it using special functions. Significantly, our results show that the geometry's topology and the cosmological constant (both are related with the magnetic field strength) influences the eigenvalue solution of spin-0 DKP fields and DKP-oscillator fields, leading to substantial modifications in the overall outcomesComment: 15 pages, 4 figures, accepted in IJMPA (http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0217751X24500325

    AbstractThe dehumidifier is one of the main componentsinopen-cycle liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems. An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the performance of asolar thermally driven, low-flow, falling-film, internally-cooledparallel-plate liquid desiccant air-conditioner in Kingston, Ontario at Queen's University. A solution of LiCl and water was used as the desiccant.Unlike high-flow devices, the low-flow of desiccant solution flowing across the unit's dehumidifier and regenerator sections produces large variations in solution concentration. In this study, a series of tests were undertaken to evaluate the performance of the dehumidifier section of the unit. Results presented are based on mass flow and energy transport measurements that allowed the moisture transport rate between the air and liquid desiccant solution to be determined. Based on these results, arelationship between the desiccant concentration and the rate of dehumidification rate was found and the effect of inlet-air humidity onthe dehumidification effectiveness identified. The moisture removal rate of the system was found to range from 1.1g/s to 3.5g/s under the conditions evaluated. These result corresponded to an average dehumidification effectivenessof 0.55

    Applications of the Klein-Gordon equation in the Feshbach-Villars representation in the non-inertial cosmic string space-time

    Full text link
    We study the relativistic quantum motion of a spineless particle using the Feshbach-Villars (FV) formalism in the spinning cosmic string spacetime. The movement equations are derived using the first-order FV formulation of the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation. We apply the equation of motion (a) to study the motion of the particle confined to a rigid-wall potential, (b) motion in the presence of a Coulomb-type potential, and (c) particle interacting with the Feshbach-Villars oscillator (FVO). The energy levels and wave functions are obtained for the three cases. Our study focused on the impact of rotation and curvature on the energy levels of the particl

    This research investigates the relativistic quantum dynamics of spin-0 scalar massive charged particles via the relativistic Feshbach-Villars oscillator in the background of the Kaluza-Klein Theory. We solve the Feshbach-Villars equation in the abckground of a cosmic string spec-time in the context of the Kaluza-Klein and presented the eigenvalue solution. Afterward, we rewrite this system in the case of the Feshbach-Villars quantum oscillator and obtain the eigenvalue analytically. Finally, we study the interaction of the Feshbach-Villars equation and oscillator in a cosmic dislocation in the Som-Raychaudhuri in the context of the Kaluza-Klein Theory and solve the wave equation analytically. We analyze the influence of topological defect in the quantification of energy and wave function of the Feshbach-Villars oscillator and with the external fields in the last oneComment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2304.12496 (Accepted for publication In Nuclear Physics B

    Performance assessment of a membrane liquid desiccant dehumidification cooling system based on experimental investigations

    A membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification cooling system is studied in this paper for energy efficient air conditioning with independent temperature and humidity controls. The system mainly consists of a dehumidifier, a regenerator, an evaporative cooler and an air-to-air heat exchanger. Its feasibility in the hot and humid region is assessed with calcium chloride solution, and the influences of operating variables on the dehumidifier, regenerator, evaporative cooler and overall system performances are investigated through experimental work. The experimental results indicate that the inlet air condition greatly affects the dehumidification and regeneration performances. The system regeneration temperature should be controlled appropriately for a high energy efficiency based on the operative solution concentration ratio. It is worth noting that the solution concentration ratio plays a considerable role in the system performance. The higher the solution concentration ratio, the better the dehumidification performance. However simultaneously more thermal input power is required for the solution regeneration, and a crystallization risk in the normal operating temperature range should be noted as well. The system mass balance between the dehumidifier and regenerator is crucial for the system steady operation. Under the investigated steady operating condition, the supply air temperature of 20.4°C and system COP of 0.70 are achieved at a solution concentration ratio of 36%
