Modeling of chemical processes in the low pressure capacitive RF discharges in a mixture of Ar/C2H2
We study the properties of a capacitive 13.56 MHz discharge properties with a
mixture of Ar/C2H2 taking into account the plasmochemistry and growth of heavy
hydrocarbons. A hybrid model was developed to combine the kinetic description
for electron motion and the fluid approach for negative and positive ions
transport and plasmochemical processes. A significant change of plasma
parameters related to injection of 5.8% portion of acetylene in argon was
observed and analyzed. We found that the electronegativity of the mixture is
about 30%. The densities of negatively and positively charged heavy
hydrocarbons are sufficiently large to be precursors for the formation of
nanoparticles in the discharge volume.Comment: 11 pages, 14 figure
Parallel Temperatures in Supersonic Beams: Ultra Cooling of Light Atoms seeded in a Heavier Carrier Gas
We have found recently that, in a supersonic expansion of a mixture of two
monoatomic gases, the parallel temperatures of the two gases can be very
different. This effect is large if the seeded gas is highly diluted and if its
atomic mass is considerably smaller than the one of the carrier gas. In the
present paper, we present a complete derivation of our theoretical analysis of
this effect. Our calculation is a natural extension of the existing theory of
supersonic cooling to the case of a gas mixture, in the high dilution limit.
Finally, we describe a set of temperature measurements made on a beam of
lithium seeded in argon. Our experimental results are in very good agreement
with the results of our calculation.Comment: 24 novembre 200
Formation of ice nanotube with hydrophobic guests inside carbon nanotube
A composite ice nanotube inside a carbon nanotube has been explored by molecular dynamics and grandcanonical Monte Carlo simulations. It is made from an octagonal ice nanotube whose
hollow space contains hydrophobic guest molecules such as neon, argon, and methane. It is shown that the attractive interaction of the guest molecules stabilizes the ice nanotube. The guest occupancy of the hollow space is calculated by the same method as applied to clathrate hydrates
Hard-wall Potential Function for Transport Properties of Alkali Metals Vapor
This study demonstrates that the transport properties of alkali metals are
determined principally by the repulsive wall of the pair interaction potential
function. The (hard-wall) Lennard-Jones(15-6) effective pair potential function
is used to calculate transport collision integrals. Accordingly, reduced
collision integrals of K, Rb, and Cs metal vapors are obtained from
Chapman-Enskog solution of the Boltzman equation. The law of corresponding
states based on the experimental-transport reduced collision integral is used
to verify the validity of a LJ(15-6) hybrid potential in describing the
transport properties. LJ(8.5-4) potential function and a simple thermodynamic
argument with the input PVT data of liquid metals provide the required
molecular potential parameters. Values of the predicted viscosity of monatomic
alkali metals vapor are in agreement with typical experimental data with the
average absolute deviation 2.97% for K in the range 700-1500 K, 1.69% for Rb,
and 1.75% for Cs in the range 700-2000 K. In the same way, the values of
predicted thermal conductivity are in agreement with experiment within 2.78%,
3.25%, and 3.63% for K, Rb, and Cs, respectively. The LJ(15-6) hybrid potential
with a hard-wall repulsion character conclusively predicts best transport
properties of the three alkali metals vapor.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures, 41 reference
