Dispersion and spreading of concentration signals in gas/liquid microreactors is studied with methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is shown that conventional reactor designs exhibit a broad residence-time distribution due to convective signal dispersion. This result is supported by experiments monitoring the transport of a liquid plug introduced into the microreactor by a microdisp...

In this paper, we present a gas dispersal simulation package which integrates OpenFOAM flow simulation and a filament-based gas propagation model to simulate gas dispersion for compressible flows with a realistic turbulence model. Gas dispersal simulation can be useful for many applications. In this paper, we focus on the evaluation of statistical gas distribution models. Simulated data offer s...

This work presents a simulation framework developed under the widely used Robot Operating System (ROS) to enable the validation of robotics systems and gas sensing algorithms under realistic environments. The framework is rooted in the principles of computational fluid dynamics and filament dispersion theory, modeling wind flow and gas dispersion in 3D real-world scenarios (i.e., accounting for...

After pneumonectomy (Pnx), mechanical strain on the remaining lung is an important signal for adaptation. To examine how mechanical lung strain alters gas exchange adaptation after Pnx, we replaced the right lung of adult dogs with a custom-shaped inflatable silicone prosthesis. The prosthesis was kept 1) inflated (Inf) to reduce mechanical strain of the remaining lung and maintain the mediasti...

dft-gga method of perdew-burke-ernzerhof (pbe) is used with aug-cc-pvtz, 6-311++g**, and def2-tzvp large basis sets to study the hydrogen bond interactions between oxygen lone pair as a donor electron with hydrogen atom connected to the aniline’s nitrogen as an electron acceptor (h2o···hnh-ph), and nitrogen lone pair with hydrogen of water molecule (ph-h2n···hoh), both in the gas phase. in some...

We analyzed Chandra observations of three gravitational lenses, SBS 0909+523, FBQS 0951+2635, and B 1152+199, to measure the differential X-ray absorption and the dust-to-gas ratio of the lens galaxies. We successfully detected the differential X-ray absorption in SBS 0909+523 and B 1152+199, and failed to detect it in FBQS 0951+2635 due to the dramatic drop in its flux from the ROSAT epoch. Th...

We present the kinematics of the molecular gas in the barred spiral galaxy M83 (NGC5236). The study is based on CO(J=1–0 and 2–1) observations with the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST). Iso-velocity maps of the entire optical disk, 10 × 10 or 13× 13 kpc, are produced. They show the pattern of an inclined, rotating disk, but also the effects of streaming motions along the spiral arms. ...

Acoustic properties of polymeric liquids are high sensitive to free gas traces in the form of fine bubbles. Their presence is typical for such liquids because of chemical reactions, small wettability of solid boundaries, trapping of air in technological operations, etc. Liquid temperature influences essentially its rheological properties, which may have an impact on the bubble pulsations and so...

Through benchmark studies, we explore the performance of PBE density functional theory, with and without Grimme's dispersion correction (DFT-D3), in predicting spectroscopic properties for molecules interacting with rare gas matrices. Here, a periodic-dispersion corrected model of matrix embedding is used for the first time. We use PBE-D3 to determine the equilibrium structures and harmonic vib...
