TL;DR: In this article, a low-noise beam detector was developed, assembled and tested for the Heidelberg dust accelerator facility, which was used to determine in situ the charge, speed and mass of individual dust grains flying through a highly shielded metal cylinder with a length of 200 mm and integrated with a charge sensitive amplifier Amptek model A250F/NF.
Abstract: A new low-noise beam detector was developed, assembled and tested for the Heidelberg dust accelerator facility. The detector was used to determine in situ the charge, speed and mass of individual dust grains flying through a highly shielded metal cylinder with a length of 200 mm and integrated with a charge-sensitive amplifier Amptek model A250F/NF. Micron-sized latex and iron particles were fired at speeds between 5 and 50 km s−1. The detector characterizes dust particles with a primary charge of 1 fC, a speed of 20 km s−1 and a size of 0.1 µm with a signal-to-noise ratio of 6. The noise of the integrated detector system is typically 0.15 fC (950 electrons) in a bandwidth from 2 kHz to 10 MHz. The new detector allows the control and selection of particles either with a lower surface potential (low-conductive surfaces of polyaniline-coated polystyrene particles), or smaller grains with very small primary charges (sub-micron-sized grains with speeds above 10 km s−1).

TL;DR: In this article, a variational formulation for the homogenization analysis of inelastic solid materials undergoing finite strains is presented, where a quasi-hyperelastic micro-structure micro-stress potential is obtained from a local minimization problem with respect to the internal variables.
Abstract: The paper presents new continuous and discrete variational formulations for the homogenization analysis of inelastic solid materials undergoing finite strains. The point of departure is a general internal variable formulation that determines the inelastic response of the constituents of a typical micro-structure as a generalized standard medium in terms of an energy storage and a dissipation function. Consistent with this type of finite inelasticity we develop a new incremental variational formulation of the local constitutive response, where a quasi-hyperelastic micro-stress potential is obtained from a local minimization problem with respect to the internal variables. It is shown that this local minimization problem determines the internal state of the material for finite increments of time. We specify the local variational formulation for a distinct setting of multi-surface inelasticity and develop a numerical solution technique based on a time discretization of the internal variables. The existence of the quasi-hyperelastic stress potential allows the extension of homogenization approaches of finite elasticity to the incremental setting of finite inelasticity. Focussing on macro-deformation-driven micro-structures, we develop a new incremental variational formulation of the global homogenization problem for generalized standard materials at finite strains, where a quasi-hyperelastic macro-stress potential is obtained from a global minimization problem with respect to the fine-scale displacement fluctuation field. It is shown that this global minimization problem determines the state of the micro-structure for finite increments of time. We consider three different settings of the global variational problem for prescribed displacements, non-trivial periodic displacements and prescribed stresses on the boundary of the micro-structure and develop numerical solution methods based on a spatial discretization of the fine-scale displacement fluctuation field. Representative applications of the proposed minimization principles are demonstrated for a constitutive model of crystal plasticity and the homogenization problem of texture analysis in polycrystalline aggregates.

TL;DR: In this article, a new model to calculate heat transfer coefficients in nucleate boiling is presented, taking into account the influence of meniscus curvature, adhesion forces and interfacial thermal resistance on the thermodynamic equilibrium at the gas-liquid interface.
Abstract: A new model to calculate heat transfer coefficients in nucleate boiling is presented. Heat transfer and fluid flow around a single bubble are investigated taking into account the influence of meniscus curvature, adhesion forces and interfacial thermal resistance on the thermodynamic equilibrium at the gas-liquid interface. The model requires only bubble site densities and departure diameters. Further quantities except the thermophysical properties are not needed. From the results bubble growth rates can be derived. As an example nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients of R-114 were calculated. They agree with experimental values within the experimental accuracy.
