Dipping Process Characteristics Based on Image Processing of Pictures Captured by High-speed Cameras

The dipping process was recorded firstly by high-speed camera system; acceleration time, speed, and dipping time were set by the control system of dipping bed, respectively. By image processing of dipping process based on Otsu's method, it was found that low-viscosity flux glue eliminates the micelle effectively, very low speed also leads to small micelle hidden between the bumps, and this small micelle and hidden phenomenon disappeared when the speed is ≥0.2 cm s-1. Dipping flux quantity of the bump decreases by about 100 square pixels when flux viscosity is reduced from4,500 to 3,500 mpa s. For the 3,500 mpa s viscosity glue, dipping flux quantity increases with the increase of the speed and decreases with the increase of the speed after the speed is up to 0.8 cm s-1. The stable time of dipping glue can be obtained by real-time curve of dipping flux quantity and is only 80–90 ms when dipping speed is from 1.6 to 4.0 cm s-1. Dipping flux quantity has an increasing trend for acceleration time and has a decreasing trend for acceleration. Dipping flux quantity increases with the increase of dipping time, and is becoming saturated when the time is ≥55 ms.

Re-Os Geochronology of the Liuchapo Formation across the Ediacaran-Cambrian Boundary of the Yangtze Block(South China)

The Ediacaran-Cambrian(E-C) succession in South China records remarkable oceanic,biological and geochemical variations,but it was not well defined geochronologically,which hinders the interpretation of the spatio-temporal seawater chemical architecture during the time E-C interval.This study presents two Re-Os isochron ages of 520.2±6.1 and 561.7±8.5 Ma for the barite-rich black shales from the top Liuchapo and Doushantuo formations respectively in Tianzhu County,Guizhou Province.In combination with existing age data,the two new Re-Os isochron ages suggest that the Liuchapo Formation was deposited between 550 and 520 Ma.Moreover,like the polymetallic Ni-MoPGE layers of shelf margin(or platform) facies and V-rich horizons of transitional(or shelf slope) to deep-water facies,the barite deposits were likely formed due to differential mineralization.The timing offset likely resulted from differential elemental concentration related to certain local factors(i.e.,hydrothermal fluids,seawater redox and biological activity).The isochron-derived initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os ratios of the top Liuchapo Formation(0.902 ± 0.048) and the Doushantuo Formation(0.740 ± 0.042) fall within the range of continental weathering flux(1.54) and oceanic crust(0.126),implying the involvement of marine hydrothermal fluids.Moreover,their difference of initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os ratios may reflect variations of continental weathering intensity and uplift magnitude.

Novel design and simulation of curved blade oil scoop with high oil capture efficiency

As the load and working environment temperature increasing,high efficiency oil lubrication was urgently needed for the main bearing of aeroengine.However,the low oil capture efficiency of radial oil scoop affects the application of under-race lubrication structure with radial oil collection.In this work,a novel design of curved blade oil scoop for under-race lubrication is proposed to improve the oil capture efficiency.First of all,the principle of relative velocity optimization is proposed by analyzing the collision process between blade and oil jet for theoretical research.Then,the theoretical curve equations of blade inlet under three different oil jet incidence conditions are solved.After that,the monotonicity of the theoretical curves is analyzed.The effects of rotation speed,oil jet velocity,eccentric distance of oil jet,and include angle of curve are analyzed.The location of the collision points of proposed theoretical curves are also been optimized.Finally,a transient Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)simulation of the novel oil scoop design was carried out.The simulation results show that the capture efficiency of curved blade oil scoop can be improved by 30%comparing to the traditional design.
