Numerical Investigation of Inlet Thermodynamic Conditions on Solid Fuel Ramjet Performances by Weixuan Li, Dan Zhao, Xiong Chen, Liang Zhu, Siliang Ni

“…It is found that increasing SN, ṁair, or Tin can dramatically enhance the combustion heat release rate, regression rate, and combustor average temperature. Furthermore, the analysis on the chemical reaction intermediate (CO) reveals that the chemical reaction is more sufficient with increased ṁair, but SN=0. …”

Photobehaviour of Z-1,2-di-(3′-methoxynaphth-2′-yl)ethene as model compound of biphotochromic supermolecules with Z-ethenic bridge by F. Ortica, D. Levi, P. Brun, R. Guglielmetti, G. Favaro, U. Mazzucato

“…Preliminary investigations showed that the compounds with ethane, acetylene or ester bridges behave as classical photochromes while those with an ethene bridge showed good coloration accompanied by unusual thermal irreversibility at room temperature. The temperature effect on the spectral behaviour allowed such irreversibility to be explained by the occurrence of a cyclization process at the central ethene bond, typical of Z-diarylethenes. …”

Numerical Simulation of the Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical Characteristics of High-Speed Railway Roadbeds in Seasonally Frozen Regions by Yuzhi Zhang, Jianghui Bei, Pei Li, Xiaojie Liang

“…Based on the classical hydrodynamic model and fundamental thermoelasticity theories, we propose a thermo-hydro coupled model, based on the soil-water characteristic curve and solid-liquid ratio as the relation equations, with the effects of the ice-water phase change and water migration due to temperature change considered. With the linear expansion coefficient related to the temperature and the mass of ice content in roadbeds as the relation equation, we establish a macroscopic thermal-hydro-mechanical model for unsaturated soil to calculate the roadbed deformations. …”
