A classical approach to the modeling of quantum mass(2)

2014 Spring World Congress on Engineering and Technology (SCET 2014)——This work focused on one question: Where does the rest mass of a particle come from? In modern physics, a particle is regarded as the quantum excitation of a field. Then, how can a particle have a rest mass? According to the Standard Model, a particle acquires mass through its interaction with a hypothetical Higgs field. The rest mass is essentially identified from the Klein- Gordon equation of a free particle (through its associated Lagrangian density). It was reported recently that a key feature of this theory (i.e., prediction of Higgs boson) is supported by experiments conducted at LHC. Nevertheless, there are still many questions about the Higgs model. Particularly, the physical meaning of the rest mass m based on the Higgs mechanism would be intrinsically different from energy E or momentum p. This does not seem to be very satisfactory. In this paper, we would like to explore a different approach based on more classical concepts. We think mass should be treated on the same footing as momentum and energy, and the definition of mass should be strictly based on its association with the momentum. By postulating that all particles in nature (including fermions and bosons) are excitation waves of the vacuum medium, we propose a simple wave equation for a free particle. We find that the rest mass of the particle is associated with a “transverse wave number”, and the Klein-Gordon equation can be derived from the general wave equation if one considers only the longitudinal component of the excitation wave. Implications of this model and its comparison with the Higgs model are discussed in this work.

Thermally-Assisted-Occupation Density Functional Theory(1)

2014 Spring World Congress on Engineering and Technology (SCET 2014)——In this talk, I will briefly describe the formulation of our recently proposed thermally-assisted-occupation density func-tional theory (TAO-DFT) [J.-D. Chai, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 154104 (2012)] and the density functional approximations to TAO-DFT [J.-D. Chai, J. Chem. Phys. 140, 18A521 (2014)]. In contrast to Kohn-Sham DFT, TAO-DFT is a DFT with fractional orbital occupations given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution (controlled by a fictitious temperature), for the study of large ground-state systems with strong static correlation effects. Relative to TAO-LDA (i.e., the local density approximation to TAO-DFT), TAO-GGAs (i.e., the generalized-gradient approximations to TAO-DFT) are significantly superior for a wide range of applications, such as thermochemistry, kinetics, and reaction energies. For noncovalent interactions, TAO-GGAs with empirical dispersion corrections are shown to yield excellent performance. Due to their computational efficiency for systems with strong static correlation effects, TAO-LDA and TAO-GGAs are applied to study the elec-tronic properties of acenes with different number of linearly fused benzene rings (up to 100), which is very challenging for conventional electronic structure methods. Some interesting results will be presented in this talk.

Ohmic heating for tofu making - a pilot study

2014 Spring World Congress on Engineering and Technology (SCET 2014)——The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between temperature and electrical conductivity of soya milk under ohmic heating in tofu making. The soya milk of 10°Brix was heated to a steady temperature of 90°C. The applied voltage was increased and the temperature rising rate was investigated for adequate heating profiles in tofu making. Experimental results showed that the electrical conductivity of soya milk is proportional to the heating time. The temperature rising rate was increased from 1.46 to 3.82 °C/min as a result of increased voltage. Hence ohmic heating could be an efficient, convenient heating measure in tofu making.
