Scattering in black hole backgrounds and higher-spin amplitudes. Part I

The scattering of massless waves of helicity |$h$| = $0$, $\frac{1}{2}$, $1$ in Schwarzschild and Kerr backgrounds is revisited in the long-wavelength regime. Using a novel description of such backgrounds in terms of gravitating massive particles, we compute classical wave scattering in terms of 2 → 2 QFT amplitudes in flat space, to all orders in spin. The results are Newman-Penrose amplitudes which are in direct correspondence with solutions of the Regge-Wheeler/Teukolsky equation. By introducing a precise prescription for the point-particle limit, in Part I of this work we show how both agree for $h$ = 0 at finite values of the scattering angle and arbitrary spin orientation. Associated classical observables such as the scattering cross sections, wave polarizations and time delay are studied at all orders in spin. The effect of the spin of the black hole on the polarization and helicity of the waves is found in agreement with previous analysis at linear order in spin. In the particular limit of small scattering angle, we argue that wave scattering admits a universal, point-particle description determined by the eikonal approximation. We show how our results recover the scattering eikonal phase with spin up to second post-Minkowskian order, and match it to the effective action of null geodesics in a Kerr background. Using this correspondence we derive classical observables such as polar and equatorial scattering angles. This study serves as a preceding analysis to Part II, where the Gravitational Wave ($h$ = 2) case will be studied in detail.

Influence of printing parameters on the mechanical behavior of 3D-printed SS316L parts manufactured using laser hot wire directed energy deposition

Hybrid manufacturing combines the simultaneous benefits of additive manufacturing (complex geometries, part consolidation, and mass customization) with the advantages of subtractive manufacturing (superior surface finish and enhanced dimensional accuracies) by integrating a suite of complementary traditional processes into a base platform of additive manufacturing. The use of hybrid technology has grown in recent years given its capabilities on repairing metallic structures, producing parts with conformal cooling features, and manufacturing functionally graded products. These kinds of capabilities are of great interest to the medical implant, energy, automotive, maritime, and aerospace industry sectors, among many other fields. This work investigated the mechanical properties of stainless steel (SS) 316L as a function of different tool paths strategies using an integrated 5-axis CNC hybrid Mazak system with a laser hot wire deposition system (LHWDS). This study includes the evaluation of different printing parameters and their impact on the quality of the printed bead as well as the incorporation of a structure–property material relationship based on the mechanical performance of the manufactured coupons.

Prediction of the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu phase diagram using cluster expansion and statistical mechanics

In this work, the thermodynamic properties of α-Al and other phases (GP zones, θ'', θ' and θ) in the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu system have been obtained by means of the cluster expansion formalism in combination with statistical mechanics. This information was used to build the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu phase-diagram taking into account vibrational entropic contributions for θ', as those of the other phases were negligible. The simulation predictions of the phase boundaries between α-Al and either θ'', θ' or θ phases as a function of temperature are in good agreement with experimental data and extend the phase boundaries to a wider temperature range. The DFT calculations reveal the presence of a number of metastable Guinier-Preston-zone type configurations that may coexist with α-Al and θ'' at low temperatures. They also demonstrate that θ' is the stable phase below 550K but it is replaced by θ above this temperature due to the vibrational entropic contribution to the Gibbs energy of θ'. This work shows how the combination of cluster expansion and statistical mechanics can be used to expand our knowledge of the phase diagram of metallic alloys and to provide Gibbs free energies of different phases that can be used as input in mesoscale simulations of precipitation.

Controlling substrate temperature with infrared heating to improve mechanical properties of large-scale printed parts

Additively manufactured parts made with polymer extrusion techniques can be 50-75% weaker in the z-direction (across layers) than in the x- and y-directions. This has been attributed to poor mobility of polymer chains and a low degree of entanglement across a cold deposition interface. This is particularly a challenge when printing large-scale parts, such as with the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) system, because layer times can exceed several minutes. The current work presents a method for controlling the temperature of the substrate material on the BAAM just prior to deposition using infrared heating lamps. Additionally, long layer times were simulated by actively cooling the material following deposition of each layer. The effect of substrate temperature on the z-direction mechanical properties of 20% carbon fiber reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) was measured for an initial temperature ranging from 50 °C to 150 °C and a preheated temperature ranging from 150 °C to 220 °C. Infrared preheating proved to be very effective when applied to substrates that had cooled considerably, almost doubling the tensile strength and increasing the fracture toughness by a factor of 7x.

Part-scale microstructure prediction for laser powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V using a hybrid mechanistic and machine learning model

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) Ti-6Al-4V is widely studied for use in structural applications in aerospace and medical industries, but mechanical anisotropy and microstructural inhomogeneity prohibits its wider adoption. Although successful microstructure prediction models have been developed, a remaining challenge is their limited integration across length/time scales and validation by experimental studies. Here, this work proposes a physics-augmented machine learning surrogate model to unite predictions of LPBF temperature, β phase morphology and texture, and α/α’ formation into a single framework that is calibrated and validated with experiments. First, a phase field (PF) model of the martensitic β→α’ transformation is developed and calibrated using data from in-situ synchrotron cyclic heating/cooling studies quantifying the variation of α phase fraction with time. In parallel, an established finite difference-Monte Carlo (FDMC) model predicts the part-scale temperature profile and β grain formation during solidification. A dataset is developed using LPBF cyclic temperature descriptors from the FDMC model as inputs and corresponding α/α’ phase fraction and width from the PF model as outputs. Five machine learning (ML) regression models are tested and optimized, having mean absolute error in testing ≤ 4 %, and the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) model is selected as the best performing. The KNN model is called at the nodal level during post-processing of the FDMC model to replace and downscale the response of the PF model. The combined agility and accuracy of the hybrid FDMC-ML model enables part-scale microstructure predictions that can be further used for property predictions to accelerate AM process optimization.

A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of di-isobutylene isomers: Part 1

We report di-isobutylene has received significant attention as a promising fuel blendstock, as it can be synthesized via biological routes and is a short-listed molecule from the Co-Optima initiative. Di-isobutylene is also popularly used as an alkene representative in multi-component surrogate models for engine studies of gasoline fuels. However, there is limited experimental data available in the literature for neat di-isobutylene under engine-like conditions. Hence, most existing di-isobutylene models have not been extensively validated, particularly at lower temperatures (< 1000 K). Most gasoline surrogate models include the di-isobutylene sub-mechanism published by Metcalfe et al. with little or no modification. The current study is undertaken to develop a detailed kinetic model for di-isobutylene and validate the model using a wide range of relevant experimental data. Part 1 of this study exclusively focuses on the low- to intermediate temperature kinetics of di-isobutylene. An upcoming part 2 discusses the high-temperature model development and validation of the relevant experimental targets. Ignition delay time measurements for the di-isobutylene isomers were performed at pressures ranging from 15 - 30 bar at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 diluted in air and in the temperature range 650 - 900 K using two independent rapid compression machine facilities. In addition, measurements of species identified during the oxidation of these isomers were performed in a jet-stirred reactor and in a rapid compression machine. A detailed kinetic model for the di-isobutylene isomers is developed to capture the wide range of new experimental targets. For the first time, a comprehensive low-temperature chemistry submodel is included. The differences in the important reaction pathways for the accurate prediction of the oxidation of the two DIB isomers are compared using reaction path analysis. In conclusion, the most sensitive reactions controlling the ignition delay times of the DIB isomers under the pressure and temperature conditions necessary for autoignition in engines are identified.

Modeling of Inductive Constant Power Load for Electromagnetic-Transient Simulations-Part II

This paper improves the dynamic constant power (CP) load model that was published in Part I, which is appropriate for electromagnetic-transient (EMT). The improved model conserves all features of its predecessor. For instance, it maintains a fixed power consumption (both active and reactive parts) and a fixed power factor for loads that are predominantly inductive. Furthermore, as the proposed model is a time-dependent system, it is applicable to both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal case studies. However, the previous model cannot be easily integrated with numeric solvers because it simulated load data over one cycle all together, not sequentially in a time-step manner, due to the limitation involved with the power factor. The improved version, on the contrary, allows the load to be simulated at every time step, which would facilitate its integration with numeric solvers. The model's validity is confirmed by comparing its response with data that is synthesized from constant impedance load, and the result is satisfactory.

A comparison of carbon impurities in pre- and post-melt uranium Part 2: Scanning/Transmission electron microscopy analysis

We report the speciation and morphology of U carbide inclusions in pre- and post-melt U metal have been explored using high-resolution analytical electron microscopy (AEM). This report presents Part 2 of our study, in which aberration (C s ) corrected transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (S)TEM was used to elementally and crystallographically characterize C-containing impurities and defect features in U samples for comparison with results obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in Part 1, previously published by this journal. Elemental mapping and unit cell matching of inclusions by (S)TEM are consistent with phases observed by SEM, and new dislocations can be observed associating with some inclusion morphologies and not others.

A comparison of carbon impurities in pre- and post-melt uranium Part 1: Scanning electron microscopy analysis

Although C impurities in U have been studied for decades, fundamental questions regarding their incorporation, migration, and overall transformation during metal processing still exist. In two written Parts, we compare the chemical speciation, distribution, crystallography, and morphologies (size, shape, etc.) of carbon-containing impurities in U metal both before and after melting using high resolution analytical electron microscopy (AEM). This first Part demonstrates the variability of carbide inclusions in depleted U (DU) metal with respect to their chemical phases and morphologies as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Here, a variety of inclusion types, such as the pill-shaped U monocarbide (UC), previously only hypothesized, are summarized. Additionally, delineation between hopper-shaped U carbonitride U(C,N) and dendritic UC inclusions is discussed in relationship to archived literature.

Biorefinery upgrading of herbaceous biomass to renewable hydrocarbon fuels, Part 1: Process modeling and mass balance analysis

Process simulation has long been a well-established tool to track key operational, design, and mass and energy balance metrics for pre-commercial technologies such as advanced lignocellulosic biofuels. While tools such as this are well-documented in the public literature around 2nd-generation cellulosic ethanol technologies (which have been scaled up to commercial deployment to some degree over the past decade), such models and analysis information remain more sparse for more complex biorefinery pathways focused on producing drop-in hydrocarbon fuels and blend-stocks, particularly regarding information required to support air emissions or other environmental analysis. In this work, we summarize key details for an established "design case" modeling the conversion of herbaceous lignocellulosic biomass into a renewable diesel hydrocarbon blend-stock based on a representative lipid pathway from oleaginous yeast. The process is based on a biochemical deconstruction and upgrading approach utilizing deacetylation and dilute acid pretreatment, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and catalytic upgrading of hydrolysate sugars to fuels. We provide key mass and energy balance outputs from the process models, with accompanying stream tables and component-level flowrates. A total of 12 model scenarios are presented spanning two feedstocks, three biorefinery scales, and two processing approaches for the lignin/residual solids waste streams. This "Part 1" manuscript presents the resulting impacts across the 12 cases on fuel yields and key output streams, focused here on direct biorefinery air emissions for selected components including CO 2 as well as sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In the context of cleaner production, the latter focus on selected biorefinery air emission outputs establishes an initial baseline estimate and accompanying framework of the model cases, upon which an accompanying "Part 2" study will build to refine the values for these and other air pollutants across these scenarios, also considering mitigation options to comply with applicable regulatory standards. We also highlight further optimization opportunities based on potential tradeoffs identified here between air emissions versus life-cycle greenhouse gas profiles attributed to the disposition of lignin/residual solids.

Additively manufactured β-Ti5553 with laser powder bed fusion: Microstructures and mechanical properties of bulk and lattice parts

Ti5553 (Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr wt%) is a titanium alloy widely used for its high strength-to-weight ratio and good formability at elevated temperatures. Unlike Ti-6Al-4V, Ti5553 does not undergo martensitic transformation, preventing cracking of brittle martensite upon rapid cooling. This makes it a strong candidate for additive manufacturing (AM), particularly laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). L-PBF offers the unique opportunity to make fine lattice structures to reduce component weight. Despite the growing field of AM, there have been limited studies on L-PBF Ti5553 lattices and how their properties differ from the bulk. Here the present work addresses this knowledge gap by investigating microstructures and properties of L-PBF bulk and lattice parts and the effect of post L-PBF heat treatments. Electron microscopy and mechanical testing show that the high dislocation density formed during L-PBF increases bulk part’s yield strength by approximately 100 MPa compared to the conventional alloy. Digital image correlation during compression testing of octet truss lattices reveals a layer-by-layer failure mode. Compared to the bulk, the lattice contains copious ω nanoprecipitation, weaker <001> texture, smaller average grain sizes, and larger content of high-angle grain boundaries. These features elicit differences in Taylor factor distributions for the lattice depending on load direction, underlining challenges in predicting lattice mechanical response based on bulk properties. By examining the processing-structure-property relationships in the bulk and lattice, the present results delineate their microstructural and mechanical differences and establish a benchmark for the future design applications of L-PBF Ti5553.

Material Interactions in Severe Accidents – Benchmarking the MELCOR V2.2 Eutectics Model for a BWR-3 Mark-I Station Blackout: Part II – Uncertainty Analysis

Single case comparisons between severe accident simulations can provide detailed insights into severe accident model behavior, however, they cannot offer insights into model uncertainty, sensitivity to uncertain parameters, or underlying model biases.Here in this analysis, the single case benchmark comparison of the MELCOR material interaction models for a station blackout (SBO) scenario of a boiling water reactor (BWR) using representative Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 boundary conditions is expanded to include an uncertainty analysis. As part of this uncertainty analysis, 1200 simulations are performed for each material interaction model (2400 total), with random sampling of 14 uncertain MELCOR input parameters. Input parameters are selected for their impact on models representing core degradation processes. These include candling, fuel rod failure, debris quenching and dryout. The analysis performed here is not a traditional “best-estimate” uncertainty analysis that uses best-estimate parameters or identifies best-estimate figure of merit distributions. Instead, it is an exploratory uncertainty analysis that identifies and interrogates underlying model form biases of the two material interaction models (eutectics and interactive materials models). Uniform distributions are applied to all uncertain parameters to ensure coverage of the model parameter uncertainty space. Key findings from this study include underlying model form biases exhibited by material interaction models, and notable differences in accident progression outcomes between the material interaction models. This uncertainty study extends and confirms the conclusions from the first part of this study, which compared the impact of material interaction modeling on simulation of a short-term station blackout scenario with representative Fukushima Daiichi Unit I boundary conditions. In particular, this study confirms that the eutectics model generally exhibits accelerated degradation and failure of fuel components, the core plate, and the lower head. The eutectics model also has a tendency to exhibit a greater degree of core degradation, greater debris mass formation, and larger debris mass ejection. Finally, the eutectics model exhibits higher maximum temperatures for fuel, cladding, particulate debris, oxidic molten pool, and metallic molten pool components than the interactive materials model; interactive materials model simulations exhibit a soft “limitation” on maximum temperatures that is related to the temperature at which material relocation occurs.

Development of an accelerator-based neutron source to prototype Mo-99 production, Part II: A liquid LBE loop under a high vacuum

To provide US domestic supply of Mo-99 without using high-enriched uranium (HEU), a subcritical uranium target assembly (UTA) is irradiated by an accelerator-based neutron source to create Mo-99 through fission. Part I of this work discusses the design of a liquid lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) windowless target for an accelerator-based neutron source development. Part II discusses how to couple this windowless target to an accelerator operating at an ultra-high vacuum and the subcritical UTA cooled by water at room temperature. Due to the windowless design of the target, the liquid LBE flow shares an ultra-high vacuum (<1.3 × 10 -7 Pa or 10 -9 Torr) space with the accelerator. As a result of this shared vacuum space, the LBE system must operate at a high vacuum (10 -3 ~10 -6 Pa or 10 -5 ~10 -8 Torr). A magnetic rotary motion feedthrough unit utilizes magnetic fluid to allow rotation of the pump while maintaining a high vacuum environment. Prior to testing the LBE system under vacuum, a pump curve measurement is performed to estimate flowrate in the system. This measurement also generates data on orifice loss coefficients, which are compared to correlations in literature. The second experiment investigates vacuum level in the LBE system during operation. High vacuum is maintained (10 -3 ~10 -5 Pa or 10 -5 ~10 -7 Torr) during system operation, and a residual gas analyzer (RGA) scan shows that partial pressures of residual gases in the LBE system lower over the duration of LBE system operations. The third experiment investigates the gravity driven liquid LBE flowing out of the target chamber in the return line, which is partially full. If the liquid LBE is not drained quickly enough, flooding in the target chamber could occur. The coefficient n in the Manning equation is found to be around 0.008 s/m 1/3 . The last experiment performed is a demonstration that a vacuum jacket could provide sufficient thermal insulation to allow coupling between 300 °C LBE loop and a water tank at room temperature. In conclusion, the results from these experiments have influenced the development of the neutron source for the future commercial scale Mo-99 production system.

Use of physics to improve solar forecast: Part III, impacts of different cloud types

Cloud-type impacts present a great challenge to solar forecasting due to diverse and complex cloud-radiation interactions. This third part of our paper sequence seeks to address this challenge by quantifying the forecast accuracies under eight cloud types: cumulus (Cu), stratified clouds (St), altocumulus (Ac), altostratus (As), cirrostratus/anvil (Cr), cirrus (Ci), congestus (Co), deep convective clouds (Dc) across four physics-informed persistence models reported in Part I. To generalize the cloud impacts, the eight cloud types are further grouped into three cloud categories based on their common features: weak convective clouds, stratiform clouds, and strong convective clouds. Here, the decade-long (2001 ~ 2014) collocated measurements of irradiances and cloud types at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program South Great Plain (SGP) Central Facility site are used for model evaluation. Results reveal a clear performance hierarchy for global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI): best for weak convective clouds and cirrus, intermediate for stratiform clouds, and worst for strong convective clouds. Performance for diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) is less influenced by cloud types. Cloud albedo dominates all three irradiances for Dc, while both cloud albedo and cloud fraction are influential for other cloud types. A 12 %~33 % improvement in accuracy at 6-hour lead time compared to the benchmark smart model confirms the effectiveness of incorporating physics into the models for various cloud types; further improvements are expected by directly integrating cloud type information into forecasting models by modifying the physical formulation of cloud-radiation interaction, and/or using more advanced machine learning models.

Characterizing photovoltaic backsheet adhesion degradation using the wedge and single cantilever beam tests, Part II: Accelerated tests

Photovoltaic (PV) backsheets provide critical moisture, mechanical, and electrical insulation to the backside of PV modules, but their continued functionality depends upon their ability to remain well adhered over years of harsh environmental exposure. A study of adhesive strength was conducted on several PV backsheet types exposed to indoor accelerated weathering. Two adhesion tests – the wedge test and single cantilever beam test – were used to measure adhesion energy in four backsheets: two with fluoropolymer-based outer (airside) layers – polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) – and two with non-fluoropolymer-based outer layers–polyamide (PA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The effects of changes in temperature, ultraviolet (UV) irradiance, relative humidity, and a periodic water spray were studied. The PET-, PVF- and PVDF-based backsheets all showed instances of debonding in an adhesive layer, which is commonly reported. Furthermore, for the PA-, PET-, and PVDF-based backsheets, adhesion energy dropped fairly rapidly with exposure, reaching very low levels by 4000 h. The PVF-based backsheet was relatively robust to weathering. Pull-off of an outer chalking layer in the PA- and PET-based backsheets suggested a sensitivity to UV. Adhesion in these two backsheets was also highly sensitive to changes in moisture level. Changes in UV irradiance and temperature did not show a statistically significant effect on adhesion loss for the exposure levels used. The present work is part of a two-part adhesion study on both field-weathered and indoor-exposed backsheets, and forms a basis for understanding adhesion degradation across a variety of backsheet types and degradation factors.

Characterizing photovoltaic backsheet adhesion degradation using the wedge and single cantilever beam tests, Part I: Field Modules

Photovoltaic backsheets are exposed to harsh outdoor weathering conditions throughout their service lives that can compromise their protective function, through adhesive debonding between their constituent layers and between the backsheet and the module. We report a large-scale study on adhesive degradation was conducted on 37 field-exposed modules, that spanned 19 different module manufacturers, that were deployed among six Köppen–Geiger climatic zones, and that were fielded between 0 and 28 years. Six outer layer polymer classes were identified among the backsheets: polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fluoroethylene vinyl ether copolymer (FEVE), and tetrafluoroethylene hexafluoropropylene vinylidene fluoride copolymer (THV). Two adhesion tests were used to measure the adhesive strength: the wedge test and the width-tapered single-cantilever beam (SCB) test. Adhesion energies were compared across exposure time and Köppen–Geiger climatic zone. Many of the PET-, PVF-, and PVDF-based backsheets experienced degradation of the adhesive layer between the backsheet outer and core layers. A consistent trend of decreasing adhesion energy with exposure time was observed in five out of the six backsheet types. Trends among adhesion energy and climatic zone, while expected, were not observed, possibly due to broad ranges in temperature, humidity, and precipitation defining Köppen–Geiger climatic zones. The cantilever beam measurements produced an upper cutoff of approximately 100 J/m 2 , above which no modules exhibited field delamination. The results are part of a two-part study quantifying adhesion in both field-weathered and indoor-exposed PV backsheets.

A FAIR-compliant parts catalogue for genome engineering and expression control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The synthetic biology toolkit for baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, includes extensive genome engineering toolkits and parts repositories. However, with the increasing complexity of engineering tasks and versatile applications of this model eukaryote, there is a continued interest to expand and diversify the rational engineering capabilities in this chassis by FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible) compliance. In this study, we designed and characterised 41 synthetic guide RNA sequences to expand the CRISPR-based genome engineering capabilities for easy and efficient replacement of genomically encoded elements. Moreover, we characterize in high temporal resolution 20 native promoters and 18 terminators using fluorescein and LUDOX CL-X as references for GFP expression and OD600 measurements, respectively. Additionally, all data and reported analysis is provided in a publicly accessible jupyter notebook providing a tool for researchers with low-coding skills to further explore the generated data as well as a template for researchers to write their own scripts. We expect the data, parts, and databases associated with this study to support a FAIR-compliant resource for further advancing the engineering of yeasts.
