Temperature and energy partition in fragmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study fragmentation of small atomistic clusters via molecular dynamics. We calculate the time scales related to fragment formation and emission. We also show that some degree of thermalization is achieved during the expansion process, which allows the determination of a local temperature. In this way we can calculate the break-up temperature as a function of excitation energy, i.e. the fragmentation caloric curve. Fragmentation appears as a rather constant temperature region of the caloric curve. Furthermore, we show that different definitions of temperature, related to different degrees of freedom, yield very similar values. Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملInvestigation of the rock blast fragmentation based on the specific explosive energy and in-situ block size
The assessment of fragmentation through blasting and therefore subsequent crushing and grinding stages is important in order to control and optimize the mining operation. Prediction of the mean size of fragmented rock by the rock mass characteristics, the blasting geometry, the technical parameters and the explosive properties is an important challenge for the blasting engineers. Some of the ef...

Nuclear level density is one of the most important concepts in nuclear physics; basically, it is the key in dealing with nuclear statistical problems. This quantity plays an essential role in the statistical calculation of reactor physics, astrophysics, researches in the average energy of heavy- ion collision and calculations related to neutron evaporation and other applications. This quantity ...
متن کاملAcetic acid Separation as a Function of Temperature Using Commercial Pervaporation Membrane
Acetic acid was separated from a dilute mixture using a commercial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane. Intrinsic separation characteristics of the membrane were studied as a function of temperature. The degree of membrane swelling decreased marginally with increase in feed temperature. At 25oC the maximum degree of swelling was found out to be 46.3%, which reduced to 39.5%...
متن کاملModelling the catalyst fragmentation pattern in relation to molecular properties and particle overheating in olefin polymerization
A two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization. A two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. The i...
