Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Physico of Liquid
MD Simulation of Liquid Pentane Isomers Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 1999, Vol. 20, No. 8 897 Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Physico Chemical Properties of Liquid Pentane Isomers Seng Kue Lee and Song Hi Lee* Department of Chemistry, Kyungsung University, Pusan 608-736, Korea Received January 15, 1999 We have presented the thermodynamic, structural and dynamic properties of liquid pentane isomers - normal pentane, isopentane, and neopentane - using an expanded collapsed atomic model. The thermodynamic prop erties show that the intermolecular interactions become weaker as the molecular shape becomes more nearly spherical and the surface area decreases with branching. The structural properties are well predicted from the site-site radial, the average end-to-end distance, and the root-mean-squared radius of gyration distribution func tions. The dynamic properties are obtained from the time correlation functions - the mean square displacement (MSD), the velocity auto-correlation (VAC), the cosine (CAC), the stress (SAC), the pressure (PAC), and the heat flux auto-correlation (HFAC) functions - of liquid pentane isomers. Two self-diffusion coefficients of liq uid pentane isomers calculated from the MSD's via the Einstein equation and the VAC's via the Green-Kubo relation show the same trend but do not coincide with the branching effect on self-diffusion. The rotational re laxation time of liquid pentane isomers obtained from the CAC's decreases monotonously as branching increas es. Two kinds of viscosities of liquid pentane isomers calculated from the SAC and PAC functions via the Green-Kubo relation have the same trend compared with the experimental results. The thermal conductivity calculated from the HFAC increases as branching increases. -
On the Role of Bulk Viscosity in Compressible Reactive Shear Layer Developments
Tenth International Conference on ICCFD10-2018-0086 Computational Fluid Dynamics (ICCFD10), Barcelona, Spain, July 9-13, 2018 On the role of bulk viscosity in compressible reactive shear layer developments Radouan Boukharfane∗, Pedro J. Martínez Ferrer ∗, Arnaud Mura∗ ∗ PPRIME UPR 3346 CNRS, ENSMA, 86961 Futuroscope Chasseneuil Cedex, France Vincent Giovangigli∗∗ ∗∗ CMAP UMR 7641 CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau Cedex, France Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Despite 150 years of research after the reference work of Stokes, it should be acknowledged that some confusion still remains in the literature regarding the importance of bulk viscosity effects in flows of both academic and practical interests. On the one hand, it can be readily shown that the neglection of bulk viscosity (i.e., κ = 0) is strictly exact for mono-atomic gases. The corresponding bulk viscosity effects are also unlikely to alter the flowfield dynamics provided that the ratio of the shear viscosity µ to the bulk viscosity κ remains sufficiently small. On the other hand, for polyatomic gases, the scattered avail- able experimental and numerical data show that it is certainly not zero and actually often far from negligible [13]. Therefore, since the ratio κ/µ can display significant variations and may reach very large valuesa, it remains unclear to what extent the neglection of κ holds [3]. The purpose of the present study is thus to analyze the mechanisms through which bulk viscosity and associated processes may alter a canonical turbulent flow. In this context, we perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of spatially-developing compress- ible non-reactive and reactive hydrogen-air shear layers interacting with an oblique shock wave. -

The objective of this work was to examine fuel cells as a possible alternative to the diesel fuel engines currently used inrailway locomotives, thereby decreasing air emissions from the railway transportation sector. We have investigated the performance of a phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) reactor, with n-hexadecane, C16H34 (a model compound for diesel fuel, cetane number = 100). This is the first extensive study reported in the literature in which n-hexadecane is used directly as the fuel. Measurements were made to obtain both polarization curves and time-on-stream results. Because deactivation was observed hydrogen polarization curves were measured before and after n-hexadecane experiments, to determine the extent of deactivation of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). -

Quantitation of Hydrocarbons in Vehicle Exhaust and Ambient Air
QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR by Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 Presented at EPA Measurement of Toxic and Related Air Pollutants Conference, Cary, North Caolina, September 1, 1998 Copyright 1998 Lotus Flower, Inc. QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 ABSTRACT Ironically, one of the most complex analyses in gas chromatography involves the simplest computation to generate concentrations. The difficult determination of hydrocarbons in vehicle exhaust and ambient air involves separation of over 200 compounds, requires cryogenic concentration to bring expected concentrations into a detectable range, and mandates usage of multiple columns and intricate valving. Yet, quantitation of these hydrocarbons can be calibrated with only one or two component standards and a simple mathematical operation. Requirements for meeting this goal include: (1) even detector responses for all hydrocarbons from ethane to n-tridecane (including olefins and aromatics), (2) accurate and reproducible measure of the sample injection volumes, (3) maximizing trap, column and detector performances, and (4) minimizing sample carry-over. Importance of these factors and how they can be implemented in routine measurements are presented with examples from vehicle exhaust and ambient air analyses. TEXT Hydrocarbons remain a major pollutant in our atmosphere. Much of the problem generated is from incomplete combustion and unburned fuel in vehicle exhaust. Accurate measure of atmospheric and exhaust levels for hydrocarbons is on-going in many facilities in the world. This analysis is undoubtedly one of the most complex in chromatography due to large number of individual hydrocarbon components found, the low levels required to be measured, and high concentrations of potential inferences to the measuring process. -

Giovangigli∗†, CMAP-CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau Cedex, FRANCE G. de Gassowski, BULL, 20, rue Dieumegard, 93406 Saint-Ouen Cedex, FRANCE R´esum´e We investigate the influence of volume viscosity on a planar shock/hydrogen bubble interaction. The numerical model is two dimensional and involve complex chemistry and detailed transport. All transport coefficients are evaluated using algorithms which provide accurate approximations rigourously derived from the kinetic theory of gases. Our numerical results show that volume viscosity has an important impact on the velocity distribution—through vorticity production— and therefore on the flame structure. 1 Introduction Combustion models used in the computational study of shock/flame interaction, ignition pheno- mena, or pollutant formation combine complex chemical kinetics with detailed transport phenomena. One of such phenomenon, often neglected in flame models, is volume—or bulk—viscosity. The volume viscosity coefficient appears in the viscous tensor and, thus, in the momentum and energy conservation equations. In an expansion or contraction of the gas mixture, the work done by the pressure modi- fies immediately the translational energy of the molecules. A certain time-lag is needed, however, for the re-equilibration of translational and internal energy through inelastic collisions and this relaxation phenomenon gives rise to bulk viscosity [12, 25, 30, 40]. -
