The current research on exhaust hood is mainly focused on analyzing flow loss and optimal design of its structure without consideration of the wet steam condensing flow and the exhaust hood coupled with the front and rear parts. To better understand the aerodynamic performance influenced by the tilt angle of flow guide inside a diffuser, taking a 600 MW steam turbine as an example, a numerical simulator CFX is adopted to solve compressible three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds time-aver- aged N-S equations and standard k-e turbulence model. And the exhaust hood flow field influenced by different tilt angles of flow guide is investigated with consideration of the wet steam condensing flow and the exhaust hood coupled with the last stage blades and the condenser throat. The result shows that the total pressure loss coefficient and the static pressure recovery coefficient of exhaust hood change regularly and monotonously with the gradual increase of tilt angle of flow guide. When the tilt angle of flow guide is within the range of 30~ to 40~, the static pressure recovery coefficient is in the range of 15.27% to 17.03% and the total pressure loss coefficient drops to approximately 51%, the aerodynamic performance of exhaust hood is significantly improved. And the effectiveenthalpy drop in steam turbine increases by 0.228% to 0.274%. It is feasible to obtain a reasonable title angle of flow guide by the method of coupling the last stage and the condenser throat to exhaust hood in combination of the wet steam model, which provides a practical guidance to flow guide transformation and optimal design in exhaust hood.展开更多

Methods: A total of 110 DPN patients admitted to the hospital from December 2015 to May 2018 were selected, and the characteristics of nerve damage in diabetic peripheral neuropathy were analyzed by ultrasound and QTT. Results: In the results of QTT, the abnormal proportion of the CDT, WDT, CPT and HPT of the lower limbs in DPN's were all higher than the upper limbs;The difference of WDT and HPT in the age and course groups of patients in the upper limbs was statistically significant, the abnormal proportion of WDT and HPT in patients aged 60 years or above or with a course of 10 years or more were all above 45%, higher than those in other groups. The patients with larger mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) were significantly higher than those with smaller MAGE, regardless of the abnormal proportion of WDT and HPT observed in upper limbs, lower limbs or upper and lower limbs;The results of ultrasonic measurement of nerve cross sectional area showed: the proportion of patients with ulnar nerve and median nerve abnormally thickened in the high age group (≥45 years) and the long course group (>10 years) was significantly higher than that in the low age group (<45 years) and the short course group (<10 years), the proportion of patients with larger MAGE with abnormal enlargement of median nerve was significantly higher than those with smaller MAGE. The thickening of ulnar nerve, median nerve and peroneal nerve was obvious in the patients of MAGE > 4 mmol/L. Conclusion: (1) The main nerve damage in DPN patients was thermal sensation damage, and the lower limb nerve was more vulnerable than the upper limb nerve. (2) The incidence of ulnar and median nerve damage was higher in patients aged 45 years and older or over 10 years of course. (3) Patients with large MAGE (> 4 mmo/L) had higher incidence of median nerve damage. The above characteristics of nerve damage can provide basis for clinical prevention, diagnosis and treatment of DPN.展开更多

The half-century challenge that ocean circulation models must address is that the forecasting/simulated sea surface temperature overheats while the sub-surface temperature is too cold, especially during the summer. Qiao et al.(2004, 2010, 2016) found that the non-breaking surface wave can generate turbulence through wave-turbulence interaction, and they developed the wave-induced mixing theory, which has been confirmed by observations, laboratory experiments and model numerical simulations. As validated by ocean circulation models from various research groups, including Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in the US (Fan and Griffies, 2014), Uppsala University of Sweden (Wu et al., 2015), Laboratoire d’Etudes en Geophysique et Oceanographie Spatiale (LEGOS) in France (Malek and Babanin, 2014), Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary (Peter and Kramer, 2016) and the Ocean University of China (Lin et al., 2006), the non-breaking surface waveinduced vertical mixing (Bv) can always dramatically improve the simulation capacity of various ocean circulation models. The First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) research group found that tidal-induced mixing plays a key role in the formation of coastal upwelling, in the bottom mixed layer and in areas with sea mounts (Lv et al., 2006, 2008). With the above breakthroughs, the first surface wavetide-circulation coupled model of FIO-COM was developed in 2013. It was adopted to produce a reanalysis dataset for the period of January 2014 to April 2016, and it has been used for the operational OFS since May 2016. A highly efficient parallel scheme was designed to use the full capacity of Taihu Light with 10 649 600 CPU cores (Qiao et al., 2016), which earned a finalist nomination for the international Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize.展开更多

文摘With the continuous increase of mining in depth,the gas extraction faces the challenges of low permeability,great ground stress,high temperature and large gas pressure in coal seam.The controllable shock wave(CSW),as a new method for enhancing permeability of coal seam to improve gas extraction,features in the advantages of high efficiency,eco-friendly,and low cost.In order to better utilize the CSW into gas extraction in coal mine,the mechanism and feasibility of CSW enhanced extraction need to be studied.In this paper,the basic principles,the experimental tests,the mathematical models,and the on-site tests of CSW fracturing coal seams are reviewed,thereby its future research directions are provided.Based on the different media between electrodes,the CSW can be divided into three categories:hydraulic effect,wire explosion and excitation of energetic materials by detonating wire.During the process of propagation and attenuation of the high-energy shock wave in coal,the shock wave and bubble pulsation work together to produce an enhanced permeability effect on the coal seam.The stronger the strength of the CSW is,the more cracks created in the coal is,and the greater the length,width and area of the cracks being.The repeated shock on the coal seam is conducive to the formation of complex network fracture system as well as the reduction of coal seam strength,but excessive shock frequency will also damage the coal structure,resulting in the limited effect of the enhanced gas extraction.Under the influence of ground stress,the crack propagation in coal seam will be restrained.The difference of horizontal principal stress has a significant impact on the shape,propagation direction and connectivity of the CSW induced cracks.The permeability enhancement effect of CSW is affected by the breakage degree of coal seam.The shock wave is absorbed by the broken coal,which may hinder the propagation of CSW,resulting in a poor effect of permeability enhancement.When arranging two adjacent boreholes for CSW permeability enhancement test,the spacing of boreholes should not be too close,which may lead to negative pressure mutual pulling in the early stage of drainage.At present,the accurate method for effectively predicting the CSW permeability enhanced range should be further investigated.
文摘Background:In today’s society,parental stress has become a prevalent and significant issue,impacting not only parents’mental health but also potentially profoundly affecting children’s growth and education.This topic has garnered continuous attention from scholars.The present study aims to delve into the relationship between parental stress and children’s behavior,particularly focusing on children’s conformity and discipline development during crucial stages.This study aims to explore the relationship between parental stress,child conformity,and resilience,and further examines the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between parental stress and child conformity.Methods:We used three scales:the Parental Stress Scale,the Child Conformity Scale,and the Resilience Scale,to survey 890 elementary school students(aged 6–12)and their parents in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China.We employed SPSS 26.0 software for data analysis,conducting descriptive statistics,correlation analysis,and mediation effect tests sequentially.In the mediation effect tests,we utilized structural equation modeling(SEM)and regression analysis to examine the mediation effects,ensuring the accuracy and scientific nature of our analysis.Results:Through descriptive statistics,correlation analysis,regression models,and mediation effect tests,we found that parental stress significantly negatively predicts child conformity,while resilience shows a significant positive prediction.Further mediation analysis indicates that resilience plays a partial mediating role between parental stress and child conformity,with the mediation effect accounting for 36.67%.Conclusion:These findings highlight the importance of the family environment on child behavior and provide valuable insights and recommendations for family education practices in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.Therefore,we suggest future research should further explore the complex relationships among parental stress,child conformity,and resilience,and examine regional differences to better promote children’s overall development.
文摘Experiments were conducted in this study to examine the thermal performance of a thermosyphon,made from Inconel alloy 625,could recover waste heat from automobile exhaust using a limited amount of fluid.The thermosyphon has an outer diameter of 27 mm,a thickness of 2.6 mm,and an overall length of 483 mm.The study involved directing exhaust gas onto the evaporator.This length includes a 180-mm evaporator,a 70-mm adiabatic section,a 223-mm condenser,and a 97-mm finned exchanger.The study examined the thermal performance of the thermosyphon under exhaust flow rates ranging from 0–10 g/sec and temperatures varying from 300℃–900℃.The influence of three parameters—inclination angle(5°–45°),water mass(2–5.3 g),and the quantity of non-condensable gas Argon(0–0.6 g)—was investigated to assess their impacts on the thermosyphon’s thermal efficiency.The experimental findings revealed that with 3 g of water and 0.0564 g of argon in the thermosyphon,the condenser reached its highest temperature at around 200℃.The ideal fuel loading rate for the thermosyphon falls between 0.2 and 0.7 g/s.Moreover,as inclination angles rise,outer wall temperatures of the thermosyphon increase.This is attributed to the explicit expansion of the effective heating area within the evaporation section,coupled with an amplified gravitational component of the water flux.Additionally,an upsurge in the quantity of non-condensable gas(NCG)can mitigate temperature gradients on the outer wall,resulting in a decline in the thermosyphon’s performance.The insulation applied to the adiabatic section demonstrated efficacy in augmenting temperature gradients on the outer wall,thereby improving the overall performance of the thermosyphon.As the water charge within the thermosyphon increases,there is a corresponding rise in heat transfer rates both from the exhaust to the thermosyphon and from the thermosyphon to the fuel.
文摘A two-dimensional multi-physics finite element model is developed to simulate the Selective Laser Sintering(SLS)process using Inconel 625 powders.The validity of the developed model is first assessed by comparing its results with experimental data.Various factors such as phase transition,recoil pressure,surface tension,and theMarangoni force are considered.The study’s findings underscore that the morphology and thermal-fluid dynamics of the molten pool in the SLS process are predominantly shaped by the influence of the Marangoni force and recoil pressure acting on its surface.The recoil pressure at the front of the laser spot rises exponentially with temperature,making the liquid metal move downward,and creating a depression at the pool’s head.It also causes particles to splash from the pool’s rear edge.The study explores the influence of the backward Marangoni force,where hightemperature liquid flows from the front to the rear of the molten pool,creating a vortex and moving the pool in the rear.Process parameters like laser intensity,scan speed,and spot size were analyzed.The findings indicate that higher laser power lower scanning speed and laser beam spot size lead to increased width and depth of the molten pool.

文摘Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common postoperative complication,especially in older adult patients.Fingolimod(FTY720)is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator that has been found to be neuroprotective in several animal models of central nervous system disease.However,few reports have examined whether FTY720 could mitigate postoperative cognitive dysfunction.In this study,we investigated whether FTY720 could prevent postoperative neurocognitive impairment in mice subjected to D-galactose-induced aging.We induced an accelerated model of aging by administering an intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose.Subsequently,we performed a partial hepatolobectomy under sevoflurane anesthesia.FTY720(1 mg/kg)was administered intraperitoneally 3 hours before and 24 hours after anesthesia and surgery.Our results indicated that anesthesia and surgery significantly impaired spatial memory in the Y-maze test 6 hours after surgery.We also found that problem solving ability and long-term memory in the puzzle box test on postoperative days 2–4 were significantly improved by FTY720 treatment.Immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay demonstrated that FTY720 significantly inhibited microglial activation in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice 6 hours and 3 days after anesthesia,and down-regulated the expression of synaptic-related proteins postsynaptic density protein 95 and GluR2 in the hippocampus.These results indicate that FTY720 improved postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction in mice subjected to D-galactose-induced aging.This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University of China(approval No.LLSC(LA)2016-025)on September 27,2016.

文摘1 The unique ocean forecasting system (OFS) based on FIO-COM The OFS is based on the surface wave-tide-circulation coupled ocean model developed by the First Institute of Oceanography (FIO-COM), Ministry of Natural Resources, China. The half-century challenge that ocean circulation models must address is that the forecasting/simulated sea surface temperature overheats while the sub-surface temperature is too cold, especially during the summer. Qiao et al.(2004, 2010, 2016) found that the non-breaking surface wave can generate turbulence through wave-turbulence interaction, and they developed the wave-induced mixing theory, which has been confirmed by observations, laboratory experiments and model numerical simulations. As validated by ocean circulation models from various research groups, including Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in the US (Fan and Griffies, 2014), Uppsala University of Sweden (Wu et al., 2015), Laboratoire d’Etudes en Geophysique et Oceanographie Spatiale (LEGOS) in France (Malek and Babanin, 2014), Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary (Peter and Kramer, 2016) and the Ocean University of China (Lin et al., 2006), the non-breaking surface waveinduced vertical mixing (Bv) can always dramatically improve the simulation capacity of various ocean circulation models. The First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) research group found that tidal-induced mixing plays a key role in the formation of coastal upwelling, in the bottom mixed layer and in areas with sea mounts (Lv et al., 2006, 2008). With the above breakthroughs, the first surface wavetide-circulation coupled model of FIO-COM was developed in 2013. It was adopted to produce a reanalysis dataset for the period of January 2014 to April 2016, and it has been used for the operational OFS since May 2016. A highly efficient parallel scheme was designed to use the full capacity of Taihu Light with 10 649 600 CPU cores (Qiao et al., 2016), which earned a finalist nomination for the international Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize.

文摘Coal and gas outburst is a complex dynamic disaster during coal underground mining.Revealing the disaster mechanism is of great signifcance for accurate prediction and prevention of coal and gas outburst.The geo-dynamic system of coal and gas outburst is proposed.The framework of geo-dynamic system is composed of gassy coal mass,geological dynamic environment and mining disturbance.Equations of stress–damage–seepage interaction for gassy coal mass is constructed to resolve the outburst elimination process by gas extraction with boreholes through layer in foor roadway.The results show the occurrence of outburst is divided into the evolution process of gestation,formation,development and termination of geo-dynamic system.The scale range of outburst occurrence is determined,which provides a spatial basis for the prevention and control of outburst.The formation criterion and instability criterion of coal and gas outburst are established.The formation criterion F1 is defned as the scale of the geo-dynamic system,and the instability criterion F2 is defned as the scale of the outburst geo-body.According to the geo-dynamic system,the elimination mechanism of coal and gas outburst—‘unloading+depressurization’is established,and the gas extraction by boreholes through layer in foor roadway for outburst elimination is given.For the research case,when the gas extraction is 120 days,the gas pressure of the coal seam is reduced to below 0.4 MPa,and the outburst danger is eliminated efectively.
