The plume is a mixture of four disparate molecular mass components and expands in vacuum or into ambient gas. The time dependence of deposition rate is studied and the transition from an initial vacuum-like to a diffusion-like regime of expansion in ambient gas is shown. The lack of stoichiometry increases with the ratio of molecular masses of ablated particles and at disparate masses the stoichiometry is seriously affected. Ambient gas worsens the stoichiometry unless it supplies particles compensating the backward and sideward flows of plume constituents. Keywords:laser deposition, plume expansion, DSMC Affiliations:

The appropriate molecular models of water and oil, as well as the model of the substance which would sediment at the water – oil interface, are looked for. Such substance, after suitable solidification, would become the main component of the produced material. For the described simulations, the Molecular Dynamics method has been used throughout this paper. Keywords:thin layers, contact surface, nonmixing liquids Affiliations:

5. | Słowicka A.M., Walenta Z.A., Powstawanie nanostruktur w emulsjach, Systems, Vol.11, pp.255-267, 2006 Abstract: Współczesne technologie materiałowe są jedną z najszybciej rozwijających się dziedzin nauki i techniki. Szczególnie prężnie rozwijaj się nano- i mikrotechnologie. Jedna z takich nowoczesnych nanotechnologii, badana obecnie w kilku europejskich ośrodkach, wykorzystuje efekt gromadzenia się substancji na granicy faz emulsji. Użyta emulsja ma bardzo drobną strukturę nano-kropli oleju w wodzie. Trzecia substancja, dzięki odpowiednim właściwościom molekularnym, osiadając na powierzchni styku faz cieczy pokrywa powierzchnie kropel oleju. Po usunięciu emulsji substancja ta, zachowując strukturę, zostaje utwardzona i tworzy nano-materiał. W prezentowanej technologii emulsja spełnia rolę matrycy, na której powstaje struktura wytwarzanego materiału. Technik rozdrabniania emulsji jest wiele; stosuje się m.in. aparaty miksujące (homogenizatory), które w przepływie ścinającym rozrywają krople oleju na mniejsze lub mikrokanały o podobnym działaniu [2]. Nanomateriały o prezentowanej strukturze będą miały wiele interesujących właściwości, takich jak lekkość, elastyczność czy wytrzymałość mechaniczną, co zapewniają silne oddziaływania międzyatomowe w układzie oraz porowatość substancji. Tworzywa o takiej budowie mogą znaleźć zastosowanie w różnych dziedzinach np. medycynie czy aerodynamice. Celem naszych prac nad omawianą technologią wytwarzania nanomateriałów było stworzenie numerycznego modelu zjawiska powstawania nanostruktur w emulsjach. Ponieważ tak drobne układy wymagają modelowania na poziomie atomowym, do opisu procesów zachodzących w cieczach posłużono się metodą Dynamiki Molekularnej. Bazując na symulacjach numerycznych zbudowano modele molekularne cieczy tworzących emulsję oraz zaproponowano kilka typów substancji, które mogłyby wytworzyć pożądaną warstwę na granicy faz. Zaproponowane modele testowano numerycznie, poszukując kombinacji oddziaływań międzyatomowych zapewniającej powstawanie oczekiwanej nanostruktury Keywords:nanostruktury, emulsje, nanomateriały Affiliations:

To achieve this goal usually a matrix of narrow channels is placed across the flowinside the pipeline. In our recent papers [1], [2] we have shown, that channels with sharpchanges of cross-section should be more efficient in this respect than traditionally usedstraight channels with constant cross-section area. In the present paper we demonstratehow detonation behaves in channels with changes of cross-section under realistic conditions– if the channel cross-section is of dimensions acceptable technologically. At the same timewe take into account the fact, that if friction and heat exchange at the walls are present,gas flowing through the channels accelerates and its densitydecreases considerably. Theresult of our considerations is a selection of, possibly, optimum shape of the channels ofa detonation damper. Affiliations:

To achieve this goal usually a matrix of very narrow channels is placed inside the pipeline, perpendicularly to its axis. In our recent paper (Walenta and Slowicka (2016)) we have shown, that channels with sharp changes of cross-section should be more efficient in this respect than traditionally used straight channels with constant cross-section area. In this paper we demonstrate how detonation behaves in the channels, in which gas flows under realistic conditions – when friction and heat exchange are present. We take into account the fact, that gas flowing through such channels accelerates and its density decreases considerably. Keywords:detonation waves, detonation damping, narrow channels Affiliations:

It will also be demonstrated, that the length scale, most suitable for measuring the thickness of the shock wave in a dense gas, is the sum of the mean free path (calculated the same way as for a dilute gas) and the diameter of a single gas molecule.

The standard devices used for it consist of matrices of very narrow channels. Cooling the gas by cold walls of such channels may extinguish the flame and stop detonation. Detonation may also be extinguished if the cross-section of the channel transporting gas increases abruptly at some place. The desired effect may be achieved if the generated rarefaction waves decrease sufficiently the temperature of the flame (Teodorczyk et al. 1988, Cai et al. 2002, Dremin 1999, Walenta et al. 2004). It might be expected, that simultaneous use of both methods – using narrow channels with variable cross-section – should give even better results. Additional profit might come from the fact, that the flow in narrow channels is usually laminar; the abrupt increase of the cross-section would introduce some turbulence and this way enhance cooling by the walls. However, if the cross-section of the channel increases and decreases, the unwanted heating of the gas may occur. To estimate the net esult, which is not obvious, it is necessary to perform suitable simulations and experiments. The present paper is devoted to numerical simulation of the phenomenon.
