AbstractA series of shock initiation experiments are performed on the PBXC03 explosives in different formulations to understand the influence of the explosive particle size on the shock initiation, and the in-situ pressure gauge data are obtained which show that shock sensitivity decreases with the explosive particle size under the test condition used in this paper. Moreover, a mesoscopic reaction rate model which is calibrated by the experimental data on a medium formulation PBXC03 explosive is adopted and then applied to predict numerically the shock initiation of other PBXC03 explosives in different formulations. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

An efficient method for the Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime (CHO) catalyzed by trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) is proposed in this work. The effects of experimental parameters on the reaction rate are studied, including CHO concentration, TFAA/CHO ratio, temperature, and CPL concentration. The reaction rate shows a linear relationship with TFAA/CHO ratio and reduces with the increasing of CPL concentration. Based on the experimental data and the study of in-situ FTIR, a reaction mechanism is proposed and the equilibrium relationship between CPL and TFAA is established. A rate constant model is developed and is in good agreement with the experimental results. The TFAA/TFA catalytic system allows high conversion and reaction rate compared with other organic acids.

By reaction of [PtBr4]2- with XeF2 in dichloromethane product mixtures containing nine fluoro-chloro-, four fluoro-bromo- and 15 fluoro-chloro-bromo-platinates(IV) are formed. All complexes are detectable by in situ l9F NMR measurements. Due to the increasing trans influence F < Cl < Br, the signals <5(19F) of symmetric F-Pt-F axes observed at highest field are shifted downfield on the average by 93 ppm as compared with δ(19F•) of F••Pt-Cl′ axes, and further to lower field by 40 ppm for <5(F••) of F••-Pt-Br″ axes. For the same reason the coupling constant 1J(F••Pt) ≈ 1099 Hz is by 13.3 % smaller than 1J(F•Pt) ≈ 1268 Hz, which is by 32.3 % smaller than δ(FPt) ≈ 1873 Hz. Based on the axis method, and taking into account characteristic increments of chemical shifts depending on cis influences, the calculation of the 195Pt NMR signals of 27 observed species of the system [PtFnCl6-n-mBrm]2- n, m = 0 - 6, has been successful. The 195Pt NMR shifts of further 29 so far not detected complexes are predicted. Using parameters depending on the geometry of the complex, the 19F NMR shifts of 28 F-containing platinates(IV) have been calculated in good agreement with the experimental data. 19F resonances are predicted for 19 so far missing complexes.

Bipolar diffusion charging of aerosol particles has been studied theoretically using Fuchs theory. Experimental data measured by several researchers available in the published literature were used to verify the calculation results. The calculation results show that Fuchs theory has been successfully used to predict the experimental data of the charging probability of submicron aerosol particles. The combination probability of ion-particle increases with the increase of particle size, both for particle and ion with the same sign and those with the opposite sign. However the combination probability is larger if the charges of particle and ion are of the opposite sign. Generally, Fuchs theory is not too easy to deal with due to the ill-defined of all parameters used, namely ion mass and ion mobility. These cause many possibilities of parameter combination that can give a good agreement with experimental data. Thus, in order to interpret the experimental results properly, the two parameters should be measured simultaneously with aerosol measurements.Keywords: Aerosol, Bipolar Charging, Combination ProbabilityAbstrakPemuatan listrik difusi bipolar partikel aerosol telah dipelajari secara teoritis menggunakan teori Fuchs. Sebagai verifikasi digunakan data eksperimen beberapa peneliti yang tersedia dalam literatur yang telah dipublikasikan. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa teori Fuchs berhasil memprediksi dengan baik data eksperimen probabilitas pemuatan listrik partikel aerosol dalam rentang ukuran partikel berukuran submikron. Probabilitas penggabungan ion-partikel semakin besar dengan semakin besarnya ukuran partikel, baik untuk partikel dan ion yang memiliki tanda yang berlawanan maupun yang memiliki tanda yang sama. Akan tetapi, probabilitas penggabungan untuk partikel dan ion yang memiliki tanda yang berlawanan memiliki nilai yang lebih besar. Pada umumnya teori Fuchs tidak terlalu mudah untuk digunakan yang disebabkan oleh tidak terdefinisikannya dengan baik semua parameter yang digunakan, yaitu  massa ion dan mobilitas ion. Hal ini mengakibatkan banyak kemungkinan kombinasi parameter yang bisa menghasilkan kesesuaian yang bagus dengan data hasil pengukuran. Jadi, agar dapat menginterpretasikan hasil pengukuran dengan tepat, kedua besaran tersebut harus diukur secara serempak denganpengukuran aerosol.Kata Kunci: Aerosol, Pemuatan Listrik Bipolar, Probabilitas Penggabungan

AbstractThe surfaces of most of the atmosphereless solar system bodies are referred to as regolith or layers of usually loosely connected fragmentary debris, produced by meteorite impacts. Measurement of light scattered from such surfaces provide information about the composition and structure of the surface. In the present work, the effect of porosity and particle size, on reflectance is studied for regolith like samples. For modelling the experimental data Hapke 2008 is used and found to be in good agreement with laboratory data. From the present study, it can be concluded that the physical properties of a regolith, such as porosity, particle size etc are effectively represented by albedo.

In the present article, kinetics of the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of nitric oxide (NO, as a typical air pollutant) is addressed. An extended Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction rate model is proposed to describe the PCO of NO under indoor air conditions. The derived model incorporates the influence of the indoor air conditions in the process of the PCO. The good agreement between the predictions from the model and experimental results indicates the validity of the proposed model.

AbstractWe report the electrochemical oxidation of ferricyanide, [FeIII(CN)6]3− and characterised the oxidation product by in-situ FTIR and XAS spectroelectrochemistry methods. Oxidation of [FeIII(CN)6]3− is proposed to proceed via a tentative Fe(IV) intermediate that undergoes reduction elimination to give cis-[FeIII(CN)4(CH3CN)2]1− as stable product in acetonitrile. Speciation of the oxidation product by DFT calculations is underpinned by good agreement to experimental data.
