Abstract In this paper, the results of numerical calculations of a vapor bubble growth in superheated water at different pressures are presented. Modeling is based on a previously developed by the authors semi-analytical solution. The results are verified by experimental data obtained at atmospheric and subatmospheric pressures. The presented simulation results and experimental data are in good agreement. The advantage of the solution over the earlier ones (based on the thermal growth model) is shown.

A study of high-pressure bubble growth within liquid droplets heated to their limits of superheat is reported. Droplets of an organic liquid (n-octane) were heated in an immiscible nonvolatile field liquid (glycerine) until they began to boil. High-speed cine photography was used for recording the qualitative aspects of boiling intensity and for obtaining some basic bubble growth data which have not been previously reported. The intensity of droplet boiling was found to be strongly dependent on ambient pressure. At atmospheric pressure the droplets boiled in a comparatively violent manner. At higher pressures photographic evidence revealed a two-phase droplet configuration consisting of an expanding vapor bubble beneath which was suspended a pool of the vaporizing liquid. A qualitative theory for growth of the two-phase droplet was based on assuming that heat for vaporizing the volatile liquid was transferred across a thin thermal boundary layer surrounding the vapor bubble. Measured droplet radii were found to be in relatively good agreement with predicted radii.

A large number of 3D numerical simulations were performed in order to follow the trajectory changes of rigid CRH3 ogive-nosed projectiles, impacting semi-infinite metallic targets at various obliquities. These trajectory changes are shown to be related to the threshold ricochet angles of the projectile/target pairs. These threshold angles are the impact obliquities where the projectiles end up moving in a path parallel to the target’s face. They were found to depend on a non-dimensional entity which is equal to the ratio between the target’s resistance to penetration and the dynamic pressure exerted by the projectile upon impact. Good agreement was obtained by comparing simulation results for these trajectory changes with experimental data from several published works. In addition, numerically-based relations were derived for the penetration depths of these ogive-nosed projectiles at oblique impacts, which are shown to agree with the simulation results.

Abstract We present a new C++ module for simulation of channeling radiation to be implemented in Geant4 as a discrete physical process. The module allows simulation of channeling radiation from relativistic electrons and positrons with energies above 100 MeV for various types of single crystals. In this paper, we simulate planar channeling radiation applying the classical approach in the dipole approximation as a first attempt not yet considering other contributory processes. Simulation results are proved to be in a rather good agreement with experimental data.

Molecular dynamics simulation is carried out for liquid SiO 2 at pressure ranged from zero to 30 GPa and by using BKS, Born–Mayer type and Morse–Stretch potentials. The constructed models reproduce well the experimental data in terms of mean coordination number, bond angle and pair radial distribution function. Furthermore, the density of all samples can be expressed by a linear function of fractions SiO x. It is found that the topology of units SiO x and linkages OSi y is unchanged upon compression although the liquid undergoes substantial change in its network structure. Consequently, the partial bond angle distribution for SiO x and OSi y is identical for all samples constructed by the same potential. This result allows to establishing a simple expression between total bond angle distribution (BAD) and fraction of SiO x and OSi y. The simulation shows a good agreement between the calculation and simulation results for both total O–Si–O and Si–O–Si BADs. This supports a technique to estimate amount of units SiO x and linkages OSi y on base of total Si–O–Si and O–Si–O BADs measured experimentally.

Numerical calculations are performed to investigate the effect of viscous dissipation on the temperature rise and friction numbers for laminar water flows in micro-tubes. The calculated values are compared with those determined from reported experimental data for glass and diffused silica micro-tubes (D = 16 – 101 μm and L/D = 625 – 1479). The results confirm a definite slip at the wall with slip lengths of ∼ 0.7 μm and 1.0 μm, which decrease the friction number and the temperature rise in the micro-tubes, but their effect gradually diminishes as either D or L/D increases. The friction number decreases exponentially as D decreases and, to a lesser extent, as L/D increases. The effect of L/D on the friction number is insignificant for micro-tube diameters ≤ 20 μm. For D > 400 μm, the friction number approaches that of Hagen-Posieuille of 64 for macro-tubes when L/D > 1500, but approaches higher values at smaller L/D. The dimensionless analytical expression developed for calculating the friction number and the temperature rise for water flows in micro-tubes is in good agreement with both the numerical and experimental results.

As the first step in coal combustion and gasification, coal devolatilization has significant effect on reaction process. Previous coal devolatilization models have some disadvantages, such as poor flexibility, model complexity, and requirement of characterization parameters. Recently, Sommariva et al. have proposed a multi-step kinetic model of coal devolatilization. This model avoids the disadvantages mentioned above and can predict elemental composition of tar and char. In this paper, the mechanism of this model has been revised for simple application to Chemkin. Revision method is that some reactions are split into more reactions by using one pseudo-intermediate-product to replace several final products. Simulation results show that calculation results from revised mechanism compare quite well with that from original mechanism and have good agreement with experimental data. The revised mechanism is accurate and can be applied to Chemkin very easily, which gives it wide application to simulation of coal pyrolysis, gasification and combustion.

This study aims to investigate the effects of selected organic substances on the degradation of hydrogen peroxide during the Fenton reaction. Since the presence of organic substances can strongly affect the mechanism of the Fenton reaction, the information on effects of organic substances on the reaction would be a vital guide to the success of its application to the destruction of organics in wastewater. Several organic compounds having different structures were selected as model pollutants: 4-chlorophenol, 1,4-dioxane, chloroform, a dye (reactive black-5), and EDTA. Oxidation of 4-chlorophenol and reactive black-5 resulted in enormously fast degradation of hydrogen peroxide, while others such as 1,4-dioxane and chloroform showed much slower degradation. These experimental data were compared to simulation results from a computational model based on a simple áOH-driven oxidation model. Modelling results for chloroform and 1,4-dioxane were in relatively good agreement with the experimental data, while those for 4-chlorophenol and reactive black-5 were very different from the experimental data. The results for EDTA showed a different trend to those for other compounds. From these results, classification of organic substances into several sub-groups was tried.
