The effects of temperature, initial lubricant volume, contact pressure and sliding speed on the lubricant behaviour(i.e. evolutions of the coefficient of friction(COF) and the breakdown phenomenon) were experimentally studied. The evolutions of COF at elevated temperatures consisted of three distinct stages with different friction mechanisms. The first stage(stage Ⅰ) occurred with low friction when the boundary lubrication was present. The second stage(stage Ⅱ) was the transition process in which the COF rapidly increased as the lubricant film thickness decreased to a critical value. In the final plateau stage(stage Ⅲ), lubricant breakdown occurred and intimate contact at the interface led to high friction values. At the low friction stage(stage Ⅰ), the value of COF increased with increasing temperature. The increase in temperature, contact pressure and sliding speed as well as the decrease in initial lubricant volume accelerated the lubricant breakdown.展开更多

A heating plate coated with noble metal catalyst Pt/TiO_2 was made to simulate the radiators with a passive thermal catalysis function. The formaldehyde degradation rate in the presence of the simulated radiator was measured in a stainless-steel chamber under controlled temperature and compared with that in the presence of catalyst powder. The influence of temperature and the concentration of formaldehyde on the degradation performance was measured thoroughly and fitted in the polynomial form. It was found that the degradation capability of the coated catalyst dropped from that of the catalyst power, and the degradation capability trends of both materials in various temperatures were different. The clean air delivery rate(CADR) was found to be merely the function of temperature and irrelevant to indoor formaldehyde concentration in the investigated range.展开更多

The scope of state vectors of dynamic systems, based on the matrix measure, is estimated. By using the general intermittent control, some simple yet generic criteria are derived ensuring the exponential stability of dynamic systems. Then, both the general intermittent networked controller and the quantized parameters can be designed, which guarantee that the nodes of the complex network are synchronized. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.展开更多
