We derive the KdV-Burger’s equation by incorporating the density modification induced by the ponderomotive force and hence demonstrate that this equation is a suitable model for shock waves affected by ponderomotive force. Unlike previous studies that use ponderomotive force as a source of nonlinearity to derive the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for envelope solitons, our study focuses on the effect of ponderomotive force on shocks produced by the intense laser. We show that the ponderomotive force can significantly modify the strength and shape of shock waves, providing insight into the underlying physics of shock waves in relativistic degenerate plasmas which may help to better understand experimental observations in this regime.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78960430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four proposed concentrations of Er2O3, which are 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mol%, were suggested to study the impact of Er3+ ions on the structural, thermal, and photoluminescence properties of the considered host glass, respectively. The phase checking of the produced glasses using X-ray diffraction patterns showed the amorphicity phase formation. Impact of Er3+ ions on the structural properties of the considered host glass network was extensively studied through the occurred variations in XRD patterns, density and density-based parameters, and FTIR spectra. Thermally, the considered glasses have high thermal stability and high glass formability. Optically, the optical band gap, which ranged between 2.18 and 2.56 eV, signifies that the considered glasses have a semiconducting nature. Under 540 nm excitation wavelength, three bands were emitted in the blue region at 450, 462, and 486 nm and two in the violet region at 412 and 427 nm. Chromaticity analysis through CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram showed a strong blue light emission from the produced glasses. The blue light color purity of the considered glasses ranged between 90.887 and 92.324 %. Hence, the considered glasses have suitable characteristics that make them a good choice as blue light-emitting diodes in the optoelectronics devices.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79486531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the use of Debye-Huckel approximations, long wavelengths, and low Reynolds numbers, the model equations are simplified. Mathematica software is used to produce analytical and numerical results, and plots and analyses are done using the included parameters on physical quantities of interest. This study has various practical applications, such as modifying belt resistance in laboratory drainage testing and improving pipeline design. It could also potentially aid in the development of blood filtration and purification techniques and optimize drug delivery systems that utilize fluids. It is observed that the modified Darcy’s law is more accurate for porosity effects in electroosmotic peristaltic channels and results in higher shear stress at the channel wall compared to Darcy’s law.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"01 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86257917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Stokes transformation and Fourier series have been used to achieve this goal and to determine the thermal vibration behavior under various boundary conditions, including deformable and non-deformable ones. The perforated nanobeams’ boundary conditions are considered deformable, and the nonlocal strain gradient theory accounts for the size dependency. The problem is modeled as an eigenvalue problem. The effect of parameters such as the number of holes, elastic foundation, nonlocal and strain gradient, deformable boundaries and size on the solution is considered. The effects of various parameters, such as the length of the perforated beam, number of holes, filling ratio, thermal effect parameter, small-scale parameters and foundation parameter, on the thermal vibration behavior of the perforated nanobeam, are then illustrated using a set of numerical examples. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the vibration frequency of the nanobeam was most affected by the changes in the dimensionless WEF parameter in the first mode and the changes in the internal length parameter when all modes were considered.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87413933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GCMC method was used to calculate the adsorption isotherm, heat of adsorption, adsorption selectivity and centroid distribution density under different feed ratios of CO2/N2 mixed components. The zeolite exhibits a high CO2 adsorption capacity with the maximum pore size of 4–8 Å, the surface area of 1400 m2/g and the pore volume of 0.2–0.4 cm3/g, and best adsorption selectivity for CO2 at the pore size of 4 Å and pore volume of 0.2 cm3/g in the CO2/N2 mixed systems.

The cylinder is made of functionally graded material (FGM) that has variable properties both in radial and angular directions. Volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity coefficient are changed according to the power function of the radius. In the presence of variable coefficients, the governing equations of unsteady heat transfer in FGMs have caused the complexity. The Laplace transform method is used to transfer the energy equation from time to frequency domain whereas the meromorphic function is used for the inverse Laplace transform to obtain the desired solutions. The closed form solutions have been well validated and the results have been presented for different values of functionally graded indices for thermal conductivity coefficients and volumetric heat capacity. Two different FGM cases with different complicated thermal boundary conditions have been investigated. The first case has a constant temperature in the inner radius and a variable heat flux along with the convection condition in the outer radius. In the second case, the inner radius has a specific harmonic temperature and the outer radius is exposed to the convective conditions. It was observed that in both cases, the temperature value in the cylinder decreases with the increase of the FG index for the conductivity coefficient. The presented analytical solution provides a good tool for validating unsteady numerical solutions presented in the field of heat transfer in FGMs.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85869383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
