The drift velocity of electrons in pure hydrogen, in pure deuterium, and in mixtures thereof, has been observed at low pressures using the following pulse technique for these gases for the first time. Plane parallel electrodes of a known separation and immersed in the gas to be studied are connected...
A study of the relative rates of the alkyl hydrogen abstraction
from a series of meta and para substituted t-butylbenzenes by the
chlorine atom at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the
Hammett equation yielded a ρ value of -0.44 for the para compounds.
Possible explanations for the non-linearity...
A study of the relative rates of benzylic hydrogen abstractions
from a series of meta and para substituted neopentylbenzenes by the
bromine radical and trichloromethyl radical at 70°C has been carried
out. Application of the Hammett equation yields p values of -0.75
for the bromine atom and -0.94 for the...
Observed intensity fluctuations in the emission of Starkperturbed
Ly-α and Ly-β radiation from beam-foil formed atomic
hydrogen are compared with theoretical calculations to yield information
on the relative cross sections for creation of a hydrogen atom into
the various l -levels for n = 2 and n = 3. It...
Conventional pictures of nuclear interactions, in which the pion mediates the long/medium range part of the nuclear force, predict an enhancement of the virtual pion cloud in nuclei relative to that in the free nucleon. Jefferson Lab Experiment E91003 measured charged pion electroproduction from Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Helium-3. The longitudinal...
Steam-methane reforming is a well understood industrial process used for generating hydrogen and synthesis gas. The reaction is generally carried out with residence times on the order of one second. By performing this reaction at microscales it is possible to take advantage of increased heat transfer rates and low diffusion...
Numerical modeling of methane-steam reforming is performed in a micro/mini-channel with heat input through catalytic channel walls. The low-Mach number, variable density Navier-Stokes equations together with multicomponent reactions are solved using a parallel numerical framework. Methane-steam reforming is modeled by three reduced-order reactions occurring on the reactor walls. The surface...
