Abstract Steady-state distributions of Au, Ag and Cu tracers in Pb wafers subjected to temperature gradients have been determined. The effective heats of transport were + 5.8 ± 1.1 for Ag, - 0.5 ± 0.3 for Au, and of the order of + 35 for Cu (all in kcal/mole, positive values denoting the impurity migrating to the cold side of the Pb wafer). No significant temperature dependence of the heats of transport could be detected. The results are difficult to reconcile with existing theories of the intrinsic and electronic contribution to the heat of transport.

Thermal diffusion in the molten systems LiNO3—AgNO3, KNO3—AgNO3, RbNO3—AgNO, and CsNO3—AgNO3 was detected by means of chemical analysis. Two types of cells were used: the elementary effect was measured directly in cells with vertical temperature gradients, and the coefficient of thermal diffusion (D') was estimated from the steady-state separation obtained in convection cells (horizontal temperature gradient). A discussion of possible sources of error shows for both methods that the results might be systematically lower than corresponding to ideal conditions. In all systems AgNO3 was enriched at the cold side. There are indications that the SORET-coefficient varies with the composiiton of the mixture and the temperature. Thus for the LiNO3— AgNO3 system, depending on the conditions, the SORET coefficient ranged from 2 × 10-3 to 5.5 × 10-3 degr.-1, while it was about 1.8 × 10-3-5 degr.-1 over a wide concentration range for the KNO3—AgNO3 system, and about 1.3 × 10-3 degr.-1 over the investigated ranges for the RbNO3—AgNO3 and CsNO3—AgNO3 systems.Also isotope effects were measured with the convection cell, giving SoRET-coefficients of the order of 10-5 to 4 × 10-5 degr.-1 for 6Li—7Li as well as for 39K—-41K, which is in agreement with previous investigations.

Interstitial Transport

AbstractThe thermotransport of Au in Li metal has been measured, using a steady state technique. The effective heat of transport, Q**/g, of the Au impurity was found to be +4.1 kcal/mole, whidi is less than half the activation energy for isothermal diffusion of Au in Li. The diffusion mechanism cannot be determined unambiguously, but the results support the notion of interstitial transport.

The 13C NMR spectra of the ethylaluminium compounds [Al(C2H5)xCl3_x]2 x = 1, 1,5, 2 and 3 are presented and factors governing the temperature dependence of the line shape are discussed. The exchange reaction of terminal ethyl groups for chlorine ligands and ethyl ligands, resp., in ethylaluminium-sesquichloride was investigated by fitting the calculated line shapes to the observed spectra.The energy of activation of this exchange process was determined as to be 12,3 ‡ 1,5 kcal/mole. The synthesis of 13C2-[Al(C2H5)Cl2]2 is described.

High Level

Rock-salt deposits have been considered as a possible medium for the permanent storage of high-level radioactive wastes and spent fuel. Brine inclusions present in natural salt can migrate toward the waste if the temperature and the temperature gradients in the vicinity of the radioactive waste are large enough. This migration is due to the dissolution of salt at the hot side of the salt-brine interface, ion diffusion through the brine droplet, and the precipitation of salt at the cold side of the salt brine interface.

Residues M42 and G121 of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase ( ec DHFR) are on opposite sides of the catalytic centre (15 and 19 Å away from it, respectively). Theoretical studies have suggested that these distal residues might be part of a dynamics network coupled to the reaction catalysed at the active site. The ec DHFR mutant G121V has been extensively studied and appeared to have a significant effect on rate, but only a mild effect on the nature of H-transfer. The present work examines the effect of M42W on the physical nature of the catalysed hydride transfer step. Intrinsic kinetic isotope effects (KIEs), their temperature dependence and activation parameters were studied. The findings presented here are in accordance with the environmentally coupled hydrogen tunnelling. In contrast to the wild-type (WT), fluctuations of the donor–acceptor distance were required, leading to a significant temperature dependence of KIEs and deflated intercepts. A comparison of M42W and G121V to the WT enzyme revealed that the reduced rates, the inflated primary KIEs and their temperature dependences resulted from an imperfect potential surface pre-arrangement relative to the WT enzyme. Apparently, the coupling of the enzyme's dynamics to the reaction coordinate was altered by the mutation, supporting the models in which dynamics of the whole protein is coupled to its catalysed chemistry.

Micro Heat Pipes

An experimental investigation of vapor deposited micro heat pipe arrays was conducted using arrays of 34 and 66 micro heat pipes occupying 0.75 and 1.45 percent of the cross-sectional area, respectively. The performance of wafers containing the arrays was compared with that of a plain silicon wafer. All of the wafers had 8 × 8 mm thermofoil heaters located on the bottom surface to simulate the active devices in an actual application. The temperature distributions across the wafers were obtained using a Hughes Probeye TVS Infrared Thermal Imaging System and a standard VHS video recorder. For wafers containing arrays of 34 vapor deposited micro heat pipes, the steady-state experimental data indicated a reduction in the maximum surface temperature and temperature gradients of 24.4 and 27.4 percent, respectively, coupled with an improvement in the effective thermal conductivity of 41.7 percent. For wafers containing arrays of 66 vapor deposited micro heat pipes, the corresponding reductions in the surface temperature and temperature gradients were 29.0 and 41.7 percent, respectively, and the effective thermal conductivity increased 47.1 percent, for input heat fluxes of 4.70 W/cm2. The experimental results were compared with the results of a previously developed numerical model, which was shown to predict the temperature distribution with a high degree of accuracy, for wafers both with and without the heat pipe arrays.

Lens Formation

This study reveals that a freezing soil can be characterized by two parameters, the segregation-freezing temperature Ts and the overall permeability of the frozen fringe [Formula: see text]. During unsteady heat flow, the variation of these parameters with temperature produces rhythmic ice banding in fine-grained soils. At the onset of steady-state conditions, freezing tests conducted at a fixed warm end temperature showed that Ts was independent of the cold side step temperature. In addition, a model is presented that indicates how the overall permeability of the frozen fringe can be calculated without detailed measurements at the scale of the frozen fringe. It is also constant in the tests reported here.
