No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_erasmo_digital.pdf: 2003361 bytes, checksum: 220a10261604ff1d47174ccfbcec41a9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-04-03 / Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior / The element helium, found mainly in natural gas reserves, condenses at temperature of 4.2K, and is the unique known substance that remains in liquid to absolute zero. In the liquid phase, the helium presents still another phase change in 2.19K, where passes of common liquid to superfluous liquid, with almost zero viscosity. These properties give the helium important applications. One of the major applications is as a coolant in superconductors, such as in the particle accelerator LHC, which is being built in the French border with Switzerland, in magnetic resonance devices, artificial satellites, etc.. In this paper, we present two mathematical models for heat transfer in liquid helium. The first model, considering only macroscopic movements, is derived based on constitutive laws of Fourier and Gorter-Mellink. The second model, based on techniques of Fremond, includes microscopic movements and can be seen as a regularization of the first model. Both models are governed by highly nonlinear differential equations resulting from the nonlinearity of the law of Gorter-Mellink and change of phase. Both models can be considered special cases of the Stefan problem in two phases, with phase one of the heat flux is governed by non-linear equation of the problem known as p-Laplacian, with p = 4/3. We also presented techniques to efficiently solve the problem of p-Laplacian, both for large values of p, p>> 2, and for values of p close to 1, which are major numerical challenges. Are proposed two simple iterative methods, one based on the method of quasi-Newton, with the relaxation term and the other by the Helmholtz decomposition, creating a system of equations whose matrices are constant, which reduces significantly the computational cost. Numerical experiments are conducted to test the efficiency of numerical models proposed and the algorithms developed for solving systems of nonlinear algebraic equations arising from approximations by finite elements. Are also presented results of studies of convergence, showing rates of optimal or near optimal convergence, comparable to that of interpolates. For the problem with phase change, due to the discontinuity of the gradient of temperature on the interface separating the two phases of liquid helium, the rate of convergence is not optimal. Using adaptive mesh, it is also great rates to the problem with change of phase. Using experimental data found in literature, for the parameters of thermal conductivity, density and specific heat, temperature dependent, are also presented for validation testing of the model and examples of possible applications. In tests for validating the model, compared to the numerical solution of the mathematical model with experimental results for the temperature found in literature. / O elemento hélio, encontrado principalmente em reservas de gás natural, entra em condensação à temperatura de 4,2K, e é a única substância conhecida que permanece no estado líquido até o zero absoluto. Na fase liquida, o hélio apresenta ainda, em K, outra mudança de fase, onde passa de líquido comum à superfluido, com viscosidade praticamente nula. Estas propriedades conferem ao hélio importantes aplicações. Uma hdas principais aplicações é como agente refrigerante em supercondutores, como por exemplo, no acelerador de partículas LHC, que está sendo construído na fronteira da França com a Suíça, em aparelhos de ressonância magnética, satélites artificiais, etc. Neste trabalho, são apresentados dois modelos matemáticos para a transferência de calor no hélio líquido.

O segundo modelo, baseado nas técnicas de Fremond, inclui movimentos microscópicos e pode ser visto como uma regularização do primeiro modelo. Os dois modelos são governados por equações diferenciais fortemente não lineares resultantes da não linearidade da lei de Gorter-Mellink e da mudança de fase. Ambos os modelos podem ser considerados casos particulares do problema de Stefan de duas fases, sendo que em uma das fases o fluxo de calor é governado pela equação não-linear do problema conhecido como p-laplaciano, com p=4/3. São também apresentadas técnicas para resolver de forma eficiente o problema do p-laplaciano, tanto para valores grandes de p, p>>2, quanto para valores de p próximos à 1, que constituem importantes desafios numéricos. Para tanto são propostos dois métodos iterativos simples, um baseado no método de quase-Newton, com termo de relaxação e, outro através da decomposição de Helmholtz, gerando um sistema de equações cujas matrizes são constantes, o que diminui significativamente o custo computacional. Experimentos numéricos são realizados para testar a eficiência dos modelos numéricos propostos bem como dos algoritmos desenvolvidos para resolver os sistemas de equações algébricas não lineares resultantes das aproximações por elementos finitos. São apresentados resultados de estudos de convergência, mostrando taxas de convergência ótimas ou quase ótimas, comparáveis às das interpolantes. Para o problema com mudança de fase, devido à descontinuidade do gradiente da temperatura sobre a interface que separa as duas fases do hélio líquido, as taxas de convergência não são ótimas. Usando malhas adaptativas, consegue-se taxas ótimas também para o problema com mudança de fase. Usando dados experimentais, encontrados na literatura, para os parâmetros de condutividade térmica, densidade e calor específico, dependentes da temperatura, são também apresentados testes de validação do modelo e exemplos de possíveis aplicações. Nos testes de validação do modelo, compara-se a solução numérica do modelo matemático com resultados experimentais para a temperatura, encontrados na literatura.

Réaction par transfert de charge métal-ligand femtochimie aux temps ultra-courts et spectroscopie de l'état de transition en gouttelette d'hélium / Reation by charge transfert of metal-ligant femtochemistry in short time and transition state spectroscopy in helium nanodroplets

Cette thèse présente l'étude de la dynamique d'un atome ou d'une molécule en interaction avec un agrégat en vue d'étudier comment un petit système (l'atome, la molécule) échange de l'énergie électronique, cinétique et vibrationnelle avec un système possédant de très nombreux degrés de liberté (l'agrégat).Le premier système est l'étude, expérimentale et théorique, de la dynamique en temps réel d'un atome de baryum déposé sur agrégat d'argon (BaArn). L'atome de baryum est excité dans des niveaux de Rydberg, il en résulte une dynamique extrêmement riche entre le chromophore et l'agrégat. L'interprétation théorique a nécessité la conception d'une méthode de dynamique originale, permettant de traiter à la fois le grand nombre d'états excités mis en jeu, couplés à de nombreux degrés de libertés atomiques. La mise en commun des informations théoriques et expérimentales a permis d'établir l'ensemble du chemin réactionnel ayant lieu au cours de cette dynamique.Le deuxième système concerne l'étude par fluorescence de la photo-dissociation de Ca2 déposé sur agrégat d'hélium ou sur agrégat mixte hélium-argon (Ca2Hen ou Ca2ArmHen). Ces résultats sont comparés à ceux obtenu sur agrégat d'argon pur (Ca2Hen). Les différences entre ces trois types de solvant montrent que les interactions sont différentes suivant que le solvant est ``quantique'' (l'hélium) ou ``classique'' (l'argon). Plusieurs canaux réactionnels ont été mis en évidence selon que l'atome de calcium excité qui résulte de la photo-dissociation est libre ou reste solvaté par de l'hélium et/ou de l'argon. Les rapports de branchement entre ces différents canaux ont également été mesurés. / The dynamics of the interaction of an atom or a molecule with a large cluster has been studied in this manuscript in view of characterising the exchange of electronic vibrational and kinetic energy between a small system with another having a large number of degrees of freedom, the cluster.We have first studied experimentally and theoretically, the real time dynamicsof a barium atom deposited on argon clusters , (BaArn). The Ba atom was excited in high Rydberg states. A rich dynamics ensues between the chromophore an the cluster. For the theoretical interpretation a new method has been developed. It its designed to take into account the large number of electronically accessed states and their coupling with the numerous nuclear degrees of freedom of the atomic movements. The combination of the experimental and theoretical informations has allowed the characterisation of a reaction path for these dynamics. The second system studied is the photodissociation of the Ca2 molecule deposited on helium clusters pure or doped with argon (Ca2Hen or Ca2ArmHen), fluorescence emission. A comparison is also made with the Ca2Hen system. Important differences appear depending upon the nature of the solvating medium be it quantal (helium) or classical (argon). Several reaction channels have been characterised and measured for the formation of the resulting calcium atom in helium or argon solvating media.

Spectroscopie d'émission d'un plasma crée par des décharge couronne dans l'hélium / Emission spectroscopy of a plasma created by corona discharge in helium

Nguyen, Thi Hai Van 03 February 2015 (has links)
La spectroscopie d’émission est un outil puissant pour obtenir des informations sur lesprocessus microscopiques dans un plasma de décharge hors-équilibre (décharge couronne)dans des milieux denses tels que le gaz supercritique à haute pression et les liquides. Lesobservations spectroscopiques de la lumière émise à partir d'une zone d'ionisation créée parune décharge entre une pointe fine et un plan sont utilisées pour caractériser l'environnementlocal des atomes ou des molécules émettrices. Les caractéristiques spectrales observablesétant sensibles à l'environnement immédiat de l'espèce émettrice, rend la spectroscopieoptique très utile pour l'étude du plasma hors-équilibre en fonction des paramètres du milieu(pression et température).Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié les caractéristiques courant-tension et lacomposition spectrale d’un cryoplasma initié par une décharge couronne dans l'hélium liquideet gazeux à des températures cryogéniques. Ces expériences ont été effectuées pour un certainnombre de températures fixes de 300 K à 4,2 K dans une plage de pression de 0,1 à 10 MPa.Ces conditions couvrent une large région des états thermodynamiques de la matière avec unedensité d'environ 1019 cm-3 pour le gaz à une densité de 2*1022 cm-3 pour le liquide. / Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful tool to obtain information on microscopicprocesses in non-equilibrium discharge plasma (corona) in dense media such as high pressuresupercritical gas and even liquids. Spectroscopic observations of the light emitted from anionization zone near a tip electrode can be used to determine structural information of thelocal environment of the emitting atoms or molecules. The spectral features observable aresensitive to the immediate surroundings of the emitting species, which makes emissionspectroscopy very useful for study of the cold nonequilibrium plasma varying the pressureand the temperature.In this work, we have studied the current-voltage characteristics and spectralcomposition of helium cryoplasma initiated with a corona discharge in gaseous and liquidhelium. A cryoplasma has been realized in laboratory conditions using corona discharge ingaseous and liquid Helium at cryogenic temperatures of the matter. Experiments were carriedout at a number of fixed temperatures from 300 K down to 4.2 K within the pressure range0.1÷10 MPa. The conditions covered a wide region of thermodynamic states of the mattersuch as from a gas with density of ~1019 cm-3 up to liquid Helium with density of 2*1022cm-3.
