Conjugated polymer (CP) films with nanometer-scale thickness exhibit unique properties distinct from their bulk counterparts, which is an important consideration for end application as thin film devices. In the realm of organic electronic devices, enabling high electrical conductance CPs often necessitates doping. However, impact doping on intrinsic mechanical properties, such elastic modulus, in ultrathin at device-relevant thicknesses not well understood and has been directly measured....
Abstract Experimental data for the diffusivity of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane and nitrogen in Athabasca bitumen are presented range 25–90°C at 4 8 MPa. The these gases has been determined as a function gas concentration using non‐intrusive experim̀ental method. general is found to increase with temperature pressure, unimodal concentration. A correlation provided average temperature.
A new technique is developed to measure the diffusivity of gas in bitumen as a function composition. Results are presented for carbon dioxide−bitumen system, which considerable industrial relevance. The employs transient pressure data obtained from nonintrusive decay experiment at constant temperature and volume. underlying theory along with computational algorithm calculate diffusivity. Using experimental range 25−90 °C 4 MPa, dioxide calculated. results compared limited available...
Abstract An attempt has been made to study the mixing of yield‐pseudoplastic fluids with a Scaba 6SRGT impeller using electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The ERT system four sensor planes, each containing 16 equispaced stainless steel electrodes, was used measure time. multiple reference frames (MRF) technique modified Herschel–Bulkley model were applied simulate rotation rheological behaviour non‐Newtonian fluids, respectively. To validate model,...
Abstract Actor‐critic (AC) methods have emerged as an important class of reinforcement learning (RL) paradigm that enables model‐free control by acting on a process and from the consequence. To end, these utilize artificial neural networks, which are synergized for action evaluation optimal prediction. This feature is highly desirable control, especially when knowledge about limited or it susceptible to uncertainties. In this work, we summarize concepts AC survey their applications....
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) represent a promising platform for biosensing applications in aqueous environments, including the sensitive detection of neurotransmitter molecules, such as serotonin (SE). Conventional methods SE detection, HPLC and ELISA, are time-consuming expensive. Electrochemical sensors, while cost-effective, often struggle with real-time selectivity issues due to interference from similar biomolecules, dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), uric (UA). These...
A continuous-flow mixer was designed and built to study the mixing of xanthan gum solution, a pseudoplastic fluid possessing yield stress. The extent flow nonideality quantified using dynamic model that incorporated two parameters: channeling fully mixed volume in vessel. Dynamic experiments were made frequency-modulated random binary input brine solution determine magnitude nonideal parameters. same simulated computational dynamics (CFD) package (Fluent 6.2). CFD fields used obtain system...
