Pure Ca(AlH4)2 is synthesized and its decomposition reactions are investigated in a fundamental manner. The XRD profile observed is in good agreement with the one reported by Fichtner et al. From TDS measurements, Ca(AlH4)2 appears to decompose into CaH2+2Al+3H2 in three steps. The peak temperature of the first reaction is about 470K which is higher than that for Mg(AlH4)2 (about 450K), indicating that Ca(AlH4)2 is more stable hydride than Mg(AlH4)2. In addition, the catalysis of TiCl3 is doped into Ca(AlH4)2 by ball milling under a hydrogen gas atmosphere and catalytic effects on the decomposition properties are investigated.

The effects of leakage and blockage on the acoustic performance of particle filters have been examined by using one-dimensional acoustic analysis and experimental methods. First, the transfer matrix of a filter system connected to inlet and outlet pipes with conical sections is measured using a two-load method. Then, the transfer matrix of a particle filter only is extracted from the experiments by applying inverse matrices of the conical sections. In the analytical approaches, the one-dimensional acoustic model for the leakage between the filter and the housing is developed. The predicted transmission loss shows a good agreement with the experimental results. Compared to the baseline, the leakage between the filter and housing increases transmission loss at a certain frequency and its harmonics. In addition, the transmission loss for the system with a partially blocked filter is measured. The blockage of the filter also increases the transmission loss at higher frequencies. For the simplicity of experiments to identify the leakage and blockage, the reflection coefficients at the inlet of the filter system have been measured using two different downstream conditions: open pipe and highly absorptive terminations. The experiments show that with highly absorptive terminations, it is easier to see the difference between the baseline and the defects.

The dominant underwater noise source of a ship is known to be propeller cavitation. Recently, attempts have been made to quantify the source strength using on-board pressure sensors near the propeller, as this has advantages over conventional noise measurement. In this study, a beamforming method was used to estimate the source strength of a cavitating propeller. The method was validated against a model-scale measurement in a cavitation tunnel, which showed good agreement between the measured and estimated source levels. The method was also applied to a full-scale measurement, in which the source level was measured using an external hydrophone array. The estimated source level using the hull pressure sensors showed good agreement with the measured one above 400 Hz, which shows potential for noise monitoring using on-board sensors. A parametric study was carried out to check the practicality of the method. From the results, it was shown that a sufficient recording time is required to obtain a consistent level at high frequencies. Changing the frequency resolution had little effect on the result, as long as enough data were provided for the one-third octave band conversion. The number of sensors affected the mid- to low-frequency data.

The frequencies of the Q(J) lines of the fundamental Raman band of compressed hydrogen gas were measured with high spectral resolution for a series of densities from 25 to 400 Amagat units at 300 °K and 85 °K. The frequency shifts are expressed as a power series in the gas density. The linear coefficient at a given temperature has the form aJ = ai + ae(nJ/n), where ai, constant for all the Q lines, can be interpreted in terms of isotropic intermolecular forces, and ae(nJ/n), proportional to the relative population of the initial J level, arises from the inphase coupled oscillation of pairs of molecules. The temperature variation of ai is analyzed on the basis of the Lennard-Jones intermolecular potential and the molecular pair distribution function. The repulsive overlap forces and the attractive dispersion forces give, respectively, positive and negative contributions to ai, which can be characterized by the empirical parameters Krep and Katt. The values of Katt and ae are in good agreement with calculations based on the polarizability model of the dispersion forces. The relation of the results to the Raman frequency shifts in solid hydrogen is discussed.

Loosely packed sand that is saturated with water can liquefy during an earthquake, potentially causing significant damage. Once the shaking is over, the excess pore water pressures that developed during the earthquake gradually dissipate, while the surface of the soil settles, in a process called post-liquefaction reconsolidation. When examining reconsolidation, the soil is typically divided in liquefied and solidified parts, which are modelled separately. The aim of this paper is to show that this fragmentation is not necessary. By assuming that the hydraulic conductivity and the one-dimensional stiffness of liquefied sand have real, positive values, the equation of consolidation can be numerically solved throughout a reconsolidating layer. Predictions made in this manner show good agreement with geotechnical centrifuge experiments. It is shown that the variation of one-dimensional stiffness with effective stress and void ratio is the most crucial parameter in accurately capturing reconsolidation.

Metastable austenitic steels react to plastic deformation with a thermally and/or mechanically induced martensitic phase transformation. The martensitic transformation to α’-martensite can take place directly or indirectly via the intermediate stage of ε-martensite from the single-phase austenite. This effect is influenced by the stacking fault energy (SFE) of austenitic steels. An SFE < 20 mJ/m2 is known to promote indirect conversion, while an SFE > 20 mJ/m2 promotes the direct conversion of austenite into α’-martensite. This relationship has thus far not been considered in relation to the hydrogen environment embrittlement (HEE) of metastable austenitic CrNi steels. To gain new insights into HEE under consideration of the SFE and martensite formation of metastable CrNi steels, tensile tests were carried out in this study at room temperature in an air environment and in a hydrogen gas atmosphere with a pressure of p = 10 MPa. These tests were conducted on a conventionally produced alloy AISI 304L and a laboratory-scale modification of this alloy. In terms of metal physics, the steels under consideration differed in the value of the experimentally determined SFE. The SFE of the AISI 304L was 22.7 ± 0.8 mJ/m2 and the SFE of the 304 mod alloy was 18.7 ± 0.4 mJ/m2. The tensile specimens tested in air revealed a direct γàα’ conversion for AISI 304L and an indirect γàεàα’ conversion for 304mod. From the results it could be deduced that the indirect phase transformation is responsible for a significant increase in the content of deformation-induced α’-martensite due to a reduction of the SFE value below 20 mJ/m2 in hydrogen gas atmosphere.

This study investigates the initial transient hydrodynamic evolution of highly under-expanded slit and round jets. A closed-form analytic similarity solution is derived for the temporal evolution of temperature, pressure and density at the jet head for vanishing diffusive fluxes, generalizing a previous model of Chekmarev using Chernyi's boundary-layer method for hypersonic flows. Two-dimensional numerical simulations were also performed to investigate the flow field during the initial stages over distances of ~ 1000 orifice radii. The parameters used in the simulations correspond to the release of pressurized hydrogen gas into ambient air, with pressure ratios varying between approximately 100 and 1000. The simulations confirm the similarity laws derived theoretically and indicate that the head of the jet is laminar at early stages, while complex acoustic instabilities are established at the sides of the jet, involving shock interactions within the vortex rings, in good agreement with previous experimental findings. Very good agreement is found between the present model, the numerical simulations and previous experimental results obtained for both slit and round jets during the transient establishment of the jet. Criteria for Rayleigh–Taylor instability of the decelerating density gradients at the jet head are also derived, as well as the formulation of a model addressing the ignition of unsteady expanding diffusive layers formed during the sudden release of reactive gases.

A general expression has been obtained to estimate thermal conductivities of both stochastic and periodic structures with high-solid thermal conductivity. An air layer partially occupied by slanted circular rods of high-thermal conductivity was considered to derive the general expression. The thermal conductivity based on this general expression was compared against that obtained from detailed three-dimensional numerical calculations. A good agreement between two sets of results substantiates the validity of the general expression for evaluating the stagnant thermal conductivity of the periodic structures. Subsequently, this expression was averaged over a hemispherical solid angle to estimate the stagnant thermal conductivity for stochastic structures such as a metal foam. The resulting expression was found identical to the one obtained by Hsu et al., Krishnan et al., and Yang and Nakayama. Thus, the general expression can be used for both stochastic and periodic structures.
