The temperature distribution characteristics during the cold-start process were analyzed based on adaptive temperature recognition control in this paper. Preheating model and cold-start model were established and the optimal balance between the hot air flow rate and the temperature required to promote a uniform temperature distribution in the stack was explored in the preheating stage. Finally, the non-equilibrium mass transfer, as well as the temperature rise in the catalyst layer and gas diffusion layer with different current densities, were analyzed in the start-up stage. The results indicate that the air-cooled PEMFC stack can be successfully started up at -40 ◦C within 10 min by means of external gas heating. The current density and air velocity have significant impacts on the temperature of aircooled PEMFC stack. Dynamic analysis of air-cooled PEMFCs and real-time monitoring are suitable for machine learning and self-adaptive control to set the operation parameters to achieve successful cold start. Optimize the matching of load current and cathode inlet speed to achieve thermal management in low temperature environment.展开更多

文摘The Self-adaptive control of the temperature can achieve the start of fuel cell at different operating temperatures, which is very important for the successful cold-start of the air-cooled PEMFC. The temperature distribution characteristics during the cold-start process were analyzed based on adaptive temperature recognition control in this paper. Preheating model and cold-start model were established and the optimal balance between the hot air flow rate and the temperature required to promote a uniform temperature distribution in the stack was explored in the preheating stage. Finally, the non-equilibrium mass transfer, as well as the temperature rise in the catalyst layer and gas diffusion layer with different current densities, were analyzed in the start-up stage. The results indicate that the air-cooled PEMFC stack can be successfully started up at -40 ◦C within 10 min by means of external gas heating. The current density and air velocity have significant impacts on the temperature of aircooled PEMFC stack. Dynamic analysis of air-cooled PEMFCs and real-time monitoring are suitable for machine learning and self-adaptive control to set the operation parameters to achieve successful cold start. Optimize the matching of load current and cathode inlet speed to achieve thermal management in low temperature environment.

文摘An atomic diffusion model is developed to predict the thickness of intermetallic compounds(IMCs)at the interface of aluminum/magnesium alloys in dissimilar friction stir welding.Both the temperature and the strain rate associated with dislocation density at the checking point are used to determine the diffusion coefficients.The variations of the diffusion coefficients and the thickness of IMCs are quantitatively analyzed at selected characteristic time instants during welding process.It is found that the dislocation density can increase the diffusion coefficient and plays a dominant role in the IMCs formation during the plastic deformation stage.Especially in magnesium alloy and Al12Mg17,the diffusion coefficient is increased by two orders of magnitude or even nearly three orders of magnitude by considering the dislocation density.The temperature is the main influencing factor after the end of plastic deformation.The model is validated by comparing the predicted thickness of IMCs with the experimentally measured results.

文摘Purpose:Positive margins after gastrectomy have been associated with poor patient prognosis.This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with margin-positive resections.Methods:The National Cancer Database was queried from 2004 to 2014 for all patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent resection with curative intent and had known margin status.Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables associated with positive margins.Results:A total of 32,193 patients were identified who met study inclusion criteria,of which 11.8%(3786 patients)had a margin-positive resection.Tumor size>6 cm,T3 or T4 tumors,tumor location in the body of stomach or in multiple regions,signet ring cell histology,presence of lymphovascular invasion,positive lymph node involvement,and lack of neoadjuvant therapy were independently associated with an increased risk of positive margins.Conclusions:Advanced disease characteristics,aggressive tumor pathology,and absence of neoadjuvant therapy were associated with margin-positive resections.
