چکیده

We present measurements of the H i spin temperatures (Ts) of the Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) towards radio sources that are closely aligned with stars for which published H2 ortho-para temperatures (T01) are available from UV observations. Our sample consists of 18 radio sources close to 16 nearby stars. The transverse separation of the lines of sight of corresponding the UV and radio observations varies from 0.1 to 12.0 pc at the distance of the star. The ultraviolet (UV) measurements do not have velocity information, so we use the velocities of low ionization species (e.g Na i/K i/C i) observed towards these same stars to make a plausible identification of the CNM corresponding to the H2 absorption. We then find that T01 and Ts match within observational uncertainties for lines-of-sight with H2 column density above 10 cm, but deviate from each other below this threshold. This is consistent with the expectation that in the CNM Ts tracks the kinetic temperature due to collisions and that T01 is driven towards the kinetic temperature by proton exchange reactions.

Numerical investigation on Effect of thermally isolated piston on improving SI engine performance during the cold start conditions

In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying t...

Ultrasound-promoted Catalyst-free Synthesis of α-Aminonitriles in 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Bromide ([Bmim]Br) as a Reusable Neutral Ionic Liquid

A catalyst-free one-pot three component methodology for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature using [Bmim]Br as a neutral reaction medium is described. A broad range of substrates including the aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were condensed with amines (aliphatic and aromatic) and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN). Using this method, all...
