Abstract Diffusion-type problems in (nearly) unbounded domains play important roles in various fields of fluid dynamics, biology, and materials science. The aim of this paper is to construct accurate absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) suitable for classical (local) as well as nonlocal peridynamic (PD) diffusion models. The main focus of the present study is on the PD diffusion formulation. The majority of the PD diffusion models proposed so far are applied to bounded domains only. In this study, we propose an effective way to handle unbounded domains both with PD and classical diffusion models. For the former, we employ a meshfree discretization, whereas for the latter the finite element method (FEM) is employed. The proposed ABCs are time-dependent and Dirichlet-type, making the approach easy to implement in the available models. The performance of the approach, in terms of accuracy and stability, is illustrated by numerical examples in 1D, 2D, and 3D.

AbstractRigorous electrokinetic results are key to understanding the reaction mechanisms in the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR), however, most reported results are compromised by the CO mass transport limitation. In this work, we determined mass transport-free CORR kinetics by employing a gas-diffusion type electrode and identified dependence of catalyst surface speciation on the electrolyte pH using in-situ surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopies. Based on the measured Tafel slopes and reaction orders, we demonstrate that the formation rates of C2+ products are most likely limited by the dimerization of CO adsorbate. CH4 production is limited by the CO hydrogenation step via a proton coupled electron transfer and a chemical hydrogenation step of CO by adsorbed hydrogen atom in weakly (7 < pH < 11) and strongly (pH > 11) alkaline electrolytes, respectively. Further, CH4 and C2+ products are likely formed on distinct types of active sites.

AbstractIn this article we prove a Harnack inequality for non-negative weak solutions to doubly nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $$\begin{aligned} \partial _t u - {{\,\mathrm{div}\,}}{\mathbf {A}}(x,t,u,Du^m) = {{\,\mathrm{div}\,}}F, \end{aligned}$$ ∂ t u - div A ( x , t , u , D u m ) = div F , where the vector field $${\mathbf {A}}$$ A fulfills p-ellipticity and growth conditions. We treat the slow diffusion case in its full range, i.e. all exponents $$m > 0$$ m > 0 and $$p>1$$ p > 1 with $$m(p-1) > 1$$ m ( p - 1 ) > 1 are included in our considerations.

Identification of the diffusion type of molecules in living cells is crucial to deduct their driving forces and hence to get insight into the characteristics of the cells. In this paper, deep residual networks have been used to classify the trajectories of molecules. We started from the well known ResNet architecture, developed for image classification, and carried out a series of numerical experiments to adapt it to detection of diffusion modes. We managed to find a model that has a better accuracy than the initial network, but contains only a small fraction of its parameters. The reduced size significantly shortened the training time of the model. Moreover, the resulting network has less tendency to overfitting and generalizes better to unseen data.

Reducing gas turbine emissions and increasing their operational flexibility are key targets in today’s gas turbine market. In order to further reduce emissions and increase the operational flexibility of its GT24, Alstom has introduced an internally staged premix system into the GT24’s EV combustor. This system features a rich premix mode for GT start-up and a lean premix mode for GT loading and baseload operation. The fuel gas is injected through two premix stages, one injecting fuel into the burner air slots and one injecting fuel into the centre of the burner cone. Both premix stages are in continuous operation throughout the entire operating range, i.e. from ignition to baseload, thus eliminating the previously used pilot operation during start-up with its diffusion-type flame and high levels of NOx formation. The staged EV combustion concept is today a standard on the current GT26 and GT24. The EV burners of the GT26 are identical to the GT24 and fully retrofittable into existing GT24 engines. Furthermore, engines operating only on fuel gas (i.e. no fuel oil operation) no longer require a nitrogen purge and blocking air system so that this system can be disconnected from the GT. Only minor changes to the existing GT24 EV combustor and fuel distribution system are required. This paper presents validation results for the staged EV burner obtained in a single burner test rig at full engine pressure, and in a GT24 field engine, which had been upgraded with the staged EV burner technology in order to reduce emissions and extend the combustor’s operational behavior.
