Charge Transfer Mechanisms In Electrospinning, Jonathan J. Stanger Jan 2008

Charge Transfer Mechanisms In Electrospinning, Jonathan J. Stanger

Jonathan J Stanger

Electrospinning is a method of producing nano structured material from a polymer solution or melt using high strength electric fields. It is a process that has yet to find extensive industrial application yet shows promise if obstacles such as low rate of production overcome perhaps by more complete theoretical modelling. This work examines the effects of adding an ionic salt to a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) in water. The direct effect was an increase the charge density and electric current. It was found that an increase in charge density decreases the mass deposition rate and forms a thinner initial jet. …


The Adaptability Principle Of Mechanical Law And The Scale-Invariant Principle Of Mechanical Law In Fractal Space, Yang Xiaojun Jan 2008

The Adaptability Principle Of Mechanical Law And The Scale-Invariant Principle Of Mechanical Law In Fractal Space, Yang Xiaojun

Xiao-Jun Yang

The adaptability principle of mechanical law and the scale-invariant principle of mechanical law in fractal space are proved by using parameter-space and scale-space transforms in renormalization groups.From the space-transform angle,the transform of mechanical law from fractal space to European space is the scale-invariant transform while the transform of mechanical law from European space to fractal space is the adaptability transform.Their deductions are that law of conservation of energy and vectorial resultant of force and displacement in fractal space hold the line in form and Carpinteri's dimensional formula of fractal space is also proved. Namely,the spilling dimension of volume in fractal …


Fractional Definite Integral, Yang Xiaojun Jan 2008

Fractional Definite Integral, Yang Xiaojun

Xiao-Jun Yang

Fractional definite integral is that a value of the integral calculus over given interva1.Under the circumstance of fractional dimension,fractional definite integral is important to compute some value in given interva1.It is complied with starting introducing definition,the properties,leads into fractional integral function of definition and the properties,and then induces to basic theorems for fractional integral calculus
