Ensemble Shear Strength, Stability, and Permeability of Mixed Mineralogy Fault Gouge Recovered From 3D Granular Models

We conduct numerical shear experiments on mixtures of quartz and talc gouge using a three-dimensional (3D) distinct element model. A modified slip-weakening constitutive law is applied at contacts. We perform velocity-stepping experiments on both uniform and layered mixtures of quartz and talc analogs. We separately vary the proportion of talc in the uniform mixtures and talc layer thickness in the layered mixtures. Shear displacements are cycled through velocities of 1 and 10 μm/s. We follow the resulting evolution of ensemble shear strength, slip stability, and permeability of the gouge mixture and explore the mesoscopic mechanisms. Simulation results show that talc has a strong weakening effect on shear strength—a thin shear-parallel layer of talc (three particles wide) can induce significant weakening. However, the model offsets laboratory-derived strong weakening effects of talc observed in uniform mixtures, implying the governing mechanisms may be the shear localization effect of talc, which is enhanced by its natural platy shape or preimposed layered structure. Ensemble stability (a – b ) can be enhanced by increasing talc content in uniform talc-quartz mixtures. Reactivation-induced permeability increase is amplified with increased quartz content before the maturation of shear localization. Postmaturation permeability enhances on velocity upsteps and diminishes on velocity downsteps. Talc enhances compaction at velocity downsteps, potentially reducing fault permeability. Evolution trends of stability relating to the composition and structure of the fault gouge are straightforwardly obtained from the 3D simulation. Local friction evolution indicates that talc preferentially organizes and localizes in the shear zone, dominating the shear strength and frictional stability of faults

SiO 2 –SiC Mixtures at High Pressures and Temperatures: Implications for Planetary Bodies Containing SiC

We present results from high–pressure and high–temperature experiments on mixtures of SiC and SiO 2 to explore the stability of SiC in the presence of oxygen–rich silicates at planetary mantle conditions. We observe no evidence of the ambient pressure predicted oxidation products, CO or SiO, resulting from oxidation reactions between SiC and SiO 2 at pressures up to ~40 GPa and temperatures up to ~2500 K. We observe the decomposition of SiC through releasing C, resulting in vacancies in the SiC lattice and consequently the contracted SiC ambient volume V0 observed in the heated regions of sample. The decomposition is further supported by the observations of diamond formation and the expanded SiO 2 V0 in the heated regions of samples indicating the incorporation of C into SiO2 stishovite. We provide a new interpretation of SiC decomposition on laboratory timescales, in which kinetics prevent the reaction from reaching equilibrium. We consider how the equilibrium decomposition reaction of SiC will influence the differentiation of a SiC–containing body on planetary timescales and find that the decomposition products may become isolated during early planetary differentiation. Here, the resulting presence of elemental Si and C within a planetary body may have important consequences for the compositions of the mantles and atmospheres of such planets.

Microgravity Flow Boiling Experiments With Liquid-Vapor Mixture Inlet Onboard the International Space Station

This article is part of a series of studies culminating from the multi-objective Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE) onboard the International Space Station, which utilized the Flow Boiling Module (FBM) for experiments between February and July 2022. This study investigates microgravity flow boiling of n-Perfluorohexane with liquid-vapor mixture (two-phase) inlet conditions to the FBM with either one or two opposite walls heated. The FBM’s channel has a rectangular cross-sectional area of 5.0 × 2.5 mm 2 and a heated length of 114.6 mm. Key parameters of interest include mass velocity (180 – 2400 kg/m 2 s), inlet quality (-0.01 – 0.87), inlet pressure (120 – 200 kPa), and heat flux (1.8 W/cm 2 to critical heat flux), and a large database is amassed. The flow is visualized via a high-speed video camera and photographs are recorded at each heating increment to assess the periodic flow patterns within the channel and the near-wall interfacial behavior. Flow patterns are complex and mainly characterized by high- and low-density fronts alternately traversing the channel to yield high- and low-density-dominant periods of boiling. At all operating conditions, high-density fronts are faster during high-density-dominant periods. At low inlet qualities, the flow is annular near the channel inlet with a central vapor core surrounded by an annular liquid layer. Each high-density front having a high liquid fraction leaves a thin liquid layer sheared onto the heated walls. Boiling occurs within the liquid layer and a vapor layer is formed next to the heated wall. Inlet quality and mass velocity most dictate the overall flow patterns followed by heating configuration, and to a much lesser extent, heat flux and inlet pressure. Heat transfer characteristics are assessed via averaged boiling curves, streamwise profiles of wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient, and parametric curves of local and averaged heat transfer coefficients. Inlet pressure has an insignificant effect on heat transfer. At similar operating conditions, both the heating configurations yield similar trends and values of heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux (CHF, slightly higher for single-sided) even though double-sided heating adds twice the heat to the fluid and doubly raises local quality. The heat fluxes required for both onset of nucleate boiling degradation and CHF are larger at high mass velocities and low inlet qualities. For a fixed inlet quality, high mass velocities yield higher average heat transfer coefficients at both lower and higher heat fluxes, while the nucleate boiling regime at intermediate heat fluxes is unaffected. For a fixed mass velocity, higher inlet qualities yield higher and lower average heat transfer coefficients at lower and higher heat fluxes, respectively.

Computational Modeling of Magnetically Actuated Propellant Orientation

Unlike terrestrial applications where gravity positions liquid at the "bottom" of the tank, the location of liquid propellant in spacecraft tanks is uncertain unless specific actions are taken or special features are built into the tank. Some mission events require knowledge of liquid position prior to a particular action: liquid must be positioned over the tank outlet prior to starting the main engines and must be moved away from the tank vent before vapor can be released overboard to reduce pressure. It may also be desirable to positively position liquid to improve propulsion system performance: moving liquid away from the tank walls will dramatically decrease the rate of heat transfer to the propellant, suppressing the boil-off rate, thereby reducing overall mission propellant requirements. The process of moving propellant to a desired position is referred to as propellant orientation or reorientation. Propulsive reorientation relies on small auxiliary thrusters to accelerate the tank. The inertia of the liquid causes it to collect in the aft-end of the tank if the acceleration is forward. Liquid Acquisition Devices (LAD's) rely on surface tension to hold the liquid within special geometries, (i.e. vanes, wire-mesh channels, start-baskets), to positively position propellants. Both of these technologies add significant weight and complexity to the spacecraft and can be limiting systems for long duration missions. The subject of the present research is an alternate technique for positively positioning liquid within spacecraft propellant tanks: magnetic fields. LOX is paramagnetic (attracted toward a magnet) and LH2 is diamagnetic (repelled from a magnet). Order-of-magnitude analyses, performed in the 1960's to determine required magnet size, concluded that the magnets would be prohibitively massive and this option has remained dormant during the intervening years. Recent advances in high-temperature superconducting materials hold the promise of electromagnets with sufficient performance to support cryogenic propellant management tasks. In late 1992, NASA MSFC began a new investigation in this technology commencing with the design of the Magnetically-Actuated Propellant Orientation (MAPO) experiment. A mixture of ferrofluid and water is used to simulate the paramagnetic properties of LOX and the experiment is being flown on the KC-135 aircraft to provide a reduced gravity environment. The influence of a 0.4 Tesla ring magnet on flow into and out of a subscale Plexiglas tank is being recorded on video tape. The most efficient approach to evaluating the feasibility of MAPO is to compliment the experimental program with development of a computational tool to model the process of interest. The goal of the present research is to develop such a tool. Once confidence in its fidelity is established by comparison to data from the MAPO experiment, it can be used to assist in the design of future experiments and to study the parameter space of the process. Ultimately, it is hoped that the computational model can serve as a design tool for full-scale spacecraft applications.

Coarsening in Solid-Liquid Mixtures-2: A Materials Science Experiment for the ISS

A materials science experiment has been developed and readied for operation aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Components of this experiment are onboard ISS and area awaiting the flight of science samples. The goal of the experiment is to understand the dynamics of Ostwald ripening, also known as coarsening, a process that occurs in nearly any two-phase mixture found in nature. Attempts to obtain experimental data in ground-based laboratories are hindered due to the presence of gravity, which introduces material transport modes other than that of the coarsening phenomenon. This introduces adjustable parameters in the formulation of theory. The original Coarsening in Solid-Liquid Mixtures (CSLM) mission, which flew on the Space Shuttle in 1997, produced data from a coarsened eutectic alloy. Unfortunately, both the science matrix and the hardware, while nominally functional, did not account adequately for operations in microgravity. A significantly redesigned follow-on experiment, CSLM-2 has been developed to redress the inadequacies of the original experiment. This paper reviews the CSLM-2 project: its history, science goals, flight hardware implementation, and planned operations and analysis

Experiments and Simulations of Droplet Burning of Isobutanol Mixed with a Tier II Gasoline Certification Fuel and its Surrogate, Paper Number: SHTC2023-115267

This study presents an experimental and numerical results of combustion dynamics of a Tier II certification fuel/iso-butanol mixtures and its surrogate(S5)/iso-butanol mixtures. The experiments were carried out where gas transport was determined entirely by fuel evaporation to promote spherical symmetry during the burning process. The droplet initial diameters were in the range 0.55 mm to 0.62 mm. The combustion characteristics such as droplet diameters, flame standoff ratios and soot shell standoff ratios of indolene/iso-butanol mixtures are compared with S5/iso-butanol mixtures and the implications of iso-butanol addition to indolene and S5 on combustion are discussed. The presence of iso-butanol is experimentally found to reduce the formation of soot as the iso-butanol concentration was increased and the iso-butanol addition insignificantly influence the burning rate. Simulations were carried out with the detailed kinetic chemistry (324 species and 17608 reactions) from POLIMI. The detailed numerical model included unsteady gas and liquid transport, soot chemistry and radiative transport. The impact of iso-butanol on the burning rate, flame structure and soot formation are presented. Droplet burn rates were well predicted while flame diameters showed more variability depending on how the flame was defined in the numerical simulation (peak gas temperature and OH concentration). Simulations also show the influence of iso-butanol concentration on flame temperature, greenhouse gas emissions and soot formations.

Measurement and modeling of methane diffusion in hydrocarbon mixtures

Methane (CH 4 ) dissolution and diffusive mass transfer in liquid hydrocarbon mixtures is of key interest in the context of enhanced oil recovery from tight shales. In this paper, we have studied CH 4 dissolution and diffusion in normal alkane mixtures at a temperature of 50 ⁰C and at pressures of ~8 MPa. For the measurement of CH 4 dissolution/diffusion in bulk liquid hydrocarbon mixtures, we have utilized a high pressure and temperature, constant-volume diffusion (CV-D) setup. Here, we have studied CH 4 diffusion in mixtures with three long-chain normal alkanes: decane (C 10 ), dodecane (C 12 ) and hexadecane (C 16 ). We have measured CH 4 solubility and diffusion in its binary mixtures with each of these three normal alkanes, as well as in ternary and quaternary mixtures. During the experiments, the swelling of the liquid mixture due to CH 4 dissolution was measured in situ via a cathetometer and was subsequently integrated into the data analysis. A key conclusion from this study is that the solubility and transport properties of the multicomponent mixtures can be predicted accurately from binary mixture measurements using an appropriate Equation of State (EOS) and Wilke’s simplification of the classical Maxwell-Stefan (MS) diffusion theory. This observation can facilitate accurate prediction of diffusive mass transfer in more complex liquid hydrocarbon mixtures.

Droplet burning of n-butyl acetate/n-heptane mixtures in the standard atmosphere: experiments and numerical modeling

Blending petroleum fuels with oxygenates is a common approach to stem the depletion of crude oil while also mitigating the impact of their combustion on the environment. It has recently been considered that n-butyl acetate (BA, C6H12O2 , boiling point of 399K) could be a viable oxygenate additive to diesel fuel. In this application it is important to determine the influence of the fractional amount of BA on burning of the mixture. This presentation considers this problem from an experimental and computational approach using n-heptane (C7H14 , boiling point of 372K) as an essentially single component surrogate for diesel fuel. The burning configuration considered was ostensibly spherical symmetry as promoted by burning droplets under conditions where forced and natural convection effects were minimized. In this configuration the droplet and flame are concentric spheres and soot aggregates are trapped in a shell structure between the droplet and flame. Measurements were made of the droplet, flame and soot shell diameters through video imaging of the burning process. The experimental results were used to validate a detailed numerical model of the spherically symmetric droplet burning process that incorporated a consistent combustion kinetic mechanism for BA/heptane mixtures, comprised of 402 species and 16,872 reactions inclusive of soot chemistry. A model for soot formation was also included in the simulation to predict formation of the soot shell. The simulations agreed well with measured droplet and flame diameters. It was found both experimentally and computationally that adding BA to heptane had a minimal effect on the mixture burning rate, while the flame was positioned closer to the droplet surface and the simulated soot volume fraction decreased. The implications of these results are discussed for using BA as a potential additive to diesel fuel.

Development, characterisation, and deployment of the SNO+ liquid scintillator

A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is compatible with acrylic and has a competitive light yield to pre-existing liquid scintillators while conferring other advantages including longer attenuation lengths, superior safety characteristics, chemical simplicity, ease of handling, and logistical availability. Its properties have been extensively characterized and are presented here. This liquid scintillator is now used in several neutrino physics experiments in addition to SNO+.

Sound For Animation And Virtual Reality

Sound is an integral part of the experience in computer animation and virtual reality. In this course, we will present some of the important technical issues in sound modeling, rendering, and synchronization as well as the "art" and business of sound that are being applied in animations, feature films, and virtual reality. The central theme is to bring leading researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to share their experiences in this interdisciplinary field. The course will give the participants an understanding of the problems and techniques involved in producing and synchronizing sounds, sound effects, dialogue, and music. The problem spans a number of domains including computer animation and virtual reality. Since sound has been an integral part of animations and films much longer than for computer-related domains, we have much to learn from traditional animation and film production. By bringing leading researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, the course seeks to give the audience a rich mixture of experiences. It is expected that the audience will be able to apply what they have learned from this course in their research or production.

A phenomenological rate of injection model for predicting fuel injection with application to mixture formation in light-duty diesel engines

Fuel injection rate laws are one of the most important pieces of information needed when modeling engine combustion with computational fluid dynamics. In this study, a simple phenomenological model of a common-rail injector was developed and calibrated for the Bosch CRI2.2 platform. The model requires three tunable parameter fits, making it relatively easy to calibrate and suitable for injector modeling when high-fidelity information about the internal injector’s geometry and electrical circuit details are not available. Each injection pulse is modeled as a sequence of up to four stages: an injection needle mechanical opening transient, a full-lift viscous flow inertial transient, a Bernoulli steady-state stage, and a needle descent transient. Parameters for each stage are obtained as polynomial fits from measured injection rate properties. The model enforces total injected mass, and the intermediate stages are only introduced if the injection pulse duration is long enough. Experimental rates of injection from two separate campaigns on the same injector were used to calibrate the model. The model was first validated against measured injection rate laws featuring pilot injections, short partially premixed combustion pulses, and conventional diesel combustion injection strategies. Then, it was employed as an input to engine computational fluid dynamics simulations, which were run to simulate experiments of mixture formation in an optically accessible light-duty diesel engine. It was found that, though simple, this model is capable of predicting both pilot and main injection pulse mass flow rates well: the simulations yielded accurate predictions of in-cylinder equivalence ratio distributions from injection strategies for both partially premixed combustion and pilot injections. Also, once calibrated, the model produced appropriate results for a wide range of injected mass and rail pressure values. Finally, it was observed that usage of such a relatively simple model can be a good choice when high-fidelity injection rate input and highly detailed information of the injector’s geometry and operation are not available, particularly as noticeable discrepancies can be present also among different experimental campaigns on similar hardware.

Behavior of a Salt Water Solution Near the Critical Point Under Microgravity Conditions

The Supercritical Water Mixture (SCWM) experiment conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) is designed to study a salt-water solution in the vicinity of the critical transition with a test cell filled with Na2SO4 (aq) 0.5-w. This salt is a Type II salt which undergoes a dramatic decrease in solubility past waters critical point. The paper discusses the liquid-vapor-salt distribution in the test cell for subcritical, trans-critical, and supercritical regimes. In 0-g, the vapor-liquid interface manifests itself by the presence of a large single vapor bubble that is flattened between the two windows. In contrast with pure water, the vapor bubble remains centered in the test cell and is stable for temperatures up to Tc - 50 mK. The processes leading to critical transition during heat-up, as marked by the break-up of the vapor bubble, depends on the applied heating rate. For temperature ramps 1 mKmin, the bubble interface begins to breakup with the formation of a large number of smaller bubbles. For larger temperature ramps (10mKmin), temperature gradients arise in the cell pushing the bubble toward a window surface. As the critical threshold is crossed small variations in cell temperature ( 1 mK) cause an observable spatial variation in density. However, this spatial variation is not discernible as the temperature is increased further into the supercritical regime. The salt precipitation in the vicinity of the critical crossing appears to be heterogeneous in nature with precipitates observable on the cell windows. Direct imaging as well as light scattering indicate a hexagonal structure of the precipitated salt crystals in the near critical regime. The salt deposition is not fully reversible as the temperature is reduced due to window corrosion effects which traps some of the precipitated salt. Critical temperatures as high as 1.9 K above the value for pure water (647.25 K) have been measured. Finally, results on the critical transition phenomena in the presence of an imposed temperature gradient, demonstrating the remarkable stability of the central bubble, are also presented.

Ion Mobility Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry Coupled with Gas-Phase Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange for Metabolomics Analyses

Ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) in combination with gas-phase hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) is evaluated as an analytical method for small-molecule standard and mixture characterization. Experiments show that compound ions exhibit unique HDX reactivities that can be used to distinguish different species. Additionally, it is shown that gas-phase HDX kinetics can be exploited to provide even further distinguishing capabilities by using different partial pressures of reagent gas. The relative HDX reactivity of a wide variety of molecules is discussed in light of the various molecular structures. Additionally, hydrogen accessibility scoring (HAS) and HDX kinetics modeling of candidate (in silico) ion structures is utilized to estimate the relative ion conformer populations giving rise to specific HDX behavior. These data interpretation methods are discussed with a focus on developing predictive tools for HDX behavior. Finally, an example is provided in which ion mobility information is supplemented with HDX reactivity data to aid identification efforts of compounds in a metabolite extract. .

Structure and tribological properties of steel after non-vacuum electron beam cladding of Ti, Mo and graphite powders

The non-vacuum electron beam cladding technique was used to fabricate layers alloyed with Ti, Mo and C on the surface of low-alloyed steel. Two types of experiments were carried out. In the first experiment, a mixture of Ti and graphite powders was used for cladding; in the second, a mixture of Ti, Mo and graphite powders was used for cladding. CaF{sub 2} powder or a mixture of CaF{sub 2} and LiF powders was used as flux. The thickness of the cladded layers was in the range of 2–2.2 mm. The structure of the layers was studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness after cladding of the layers fabricated by cladding of Ti and graphite powders was 8–9 GPa, while the microhardness of layers with Mo additions reached 11–12 GPa. The highest wear resistance at sliding friction and friction in abrasive environment was reached in the samples fabricated using Ti, Mo and graphite mixture due to the higher hardness and the martensite–austenite structure of the matrix. The wear resistance against fixed abrasive particles was 2.4 times higher compared to that of carburized and quenched steel. - Highlights: • Ti, C and Mo mixture of powders was cladded using non-vacuum electron beam treatment. • The depth of the cladded layers was 2.0 … 2.2 mm. • The microhardness of layer with Mo, Ti and C additions reached ~ 11 … 12 GPa. • The hardening of the layers caused by the formation of TiC particles and martensitic matrix • Wear resistance of cladded coatings was 2.4 higher than carburized steel.

Co-transport of water and p-xylene through carbon molecular sieve membranes

Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) materials are a potential candidate for scalable and high-performance reverse osmosis membranes due to their impressive chemical and thermal stabilities. Moreover, they have the potential to enable impressive rejections of small neutral solutes from water based on their known ability to separate small organic molecules. CMS has been extensively examined for gas and organic solvent separations, but the transport of organic and aqueous mixtures through CMS microstructures is poorly understood. In this work, we investigated the sorption, diffusion, and permeation behavior of organic compounds and water in poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)-derived CMS (PVDF-CMS). Experimental observations of diffusion, sorption, and permeation shows how the properties of penetrants such as polarity and molecular size affect the transport rates and selectivity. These basic transport and sorption parameters are utilized in sorption-diffusion models to permeation rates of water-organic mixtures in CMS membranes. The transport of water and p-xylene in CMS was experimentally confirmed to follow the sorption-diffusion mechanism. The sorption-diffusion model ideal permselectivity indicates that the CMS is p-xylene selective over water. Water/p-xylene mixture permeation experiments revealed an increased selectivity of p-xylene over water, thus providing tentative evidence for a competitive sorption-selective separation mechanism. Furthermore, this work suggests that CMS membranes exhibit organic-permeable separation properties in water/organic separations. The results presented here highlight the potential for the removal of dilute organics in water via CMS pervaporation membranes.

Reversible adsorption of nitrogen dioxide within a robust porous metal–organic framework

Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) is a major air pollutant causing significant environmental and health problems. We report reversible adsorption of NO 2 in a robust metal–organic framework. Under ambient conditions, MFM-300(Al) exhibits a reversible NO 2 isotherm uptake of 14.1 mmol g -1 , and, more importantly, exceptional selective removal of low-concentration NO 2 (5,000 to <1 ppm) from gas mixtures. Complementary experiments reveal five types of supramolecular interaction that cooperatively bind both NO 2 and N 2 O 4 molecules within MFM-300(Al). We find that the in situ equilibrium 2NO 2 ↔ N 2 O 4 within the pores is pressure-independent, whereas ex situ this equilibrium is an exemplary pressure-dependent first-order process. The coexistence of helical monomer–dimer chains of NO 2 in MFM-300(Al) could provide a foundation for the fundamental understanding of the chemical properties of guest molecules within porous hosts. Lastly, this work may pave the way for the development of future capture and conversion technologies.
