Cuboid, conduction

LiTi2(P04)3 was also synthesized hydrothermally by Yong and Wenqin. " " Ti02, 85% H3PO4, and LiOH were used as the reactants in a Teflon-lined autoclave. It was sealed and heated in an oven at 250°C for 5 to 7 days. The product was confirmed to be pure LiTi2(P04)3 by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies. The resultant particles were well-faceted cuboids of 50 pm in size. No data are available on the ionic conductivity of the low-temperature, hydrothermally produced LiTi2(P04)3 materials. 

This situation approximately corresponds to the field experiment conducted at Dugway, Utah (Griffiths et al., 2002 [235]) with a source placed above one of the elongated cuboids which were aligned in streets The wind direction was not quite perpendicular to the buildings (0 150°) it was observed that the plume did not follow the wind direction but was systematically displaced parallel to the streets by a few obstacle lengths. 

The basic solutions for the infinite plates and infinitely long cylinders can be used to obtain solutions for multidimensional systems such as long rectangular plates, cuboids, and finite circular cylinders with end cooling. The texts on conduction heat transfer [4,11, 23, 29, 38, 49,56, 87] should be consulted for the proofs of the method and other examples. 

External transient conduction from an isothermal convex body into a surrounding space has been solved numerically (Yovanovich et al. [149]) for several axisymmetric bodies circular disks, oblate and prolate spheroids, and cuboids such as square disks, cubes, and tall square cuboids (Fig. 3.10). The sphere has a complete analytical solution [11] that is applicable for all dimensionless times Fovr = all A. The dimensionless instantaneous heat transfer rate is QVa = Q AI(kAQn), where k is the thermal conductivity of the surrounding space, A is the total area of the convex body, and 0O = T0 - T, is the temperature excess of the body relative to the initial temperature of the surrounding space. The analytical solution for the sphere is given by...

In a second study, DFT calculations on cuboidal MIr3S4 type clusters were performed by Tanaka et al, varying the heterometal centers (M=V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, Ru, W). This study was conducted in order to determine which of these clusters could potentially be employed for the conversion of N2 to ammonia. As a result of these calculations, the clusters with M=Ru, Mo and W were identified to activate N2, whereas no activation was found with the other metals. In order to obtain further insight into the reactivities of these clusters, calculations on the energetics of proton transfer from an external acid (lutidinium) to the coordinated N2 molecule were performed. These treatments indicated that protonation of the RU-N2 complex is associated with a high-energy barrier, in agreement with the experimental result that for this cluster no protonation of N2 could be achieved. Protonation of the Mo- and W-N2 complexes, in contrast, was predicted to be facile.
