The heat of a hot steel strip is mainly extracted by cooling water during runout. In order to study the heat transfer by water jet impingement boiling during runout,a pilot facility was constructed at the University of British Columbia. On this pilot facility,the water jet impingement tests were carried out under various cooling conditions to investigate the effect of processing parameters,such as cooling water temperature,water jet impingement velocity,initial strip temperature,water flow rate,water nozzle diameter and array of water nozzles,on the heat transfer of heated strip. The results obtained contribute to the optimization of cooling water during runout.展开更多

The propensity of neurotropic viruses to spread among synaptically-linked neurons makes them ideal for mapping neural circuits. So far, several classes of viral neuronal tracers have become available and provide a powerful toolbox for delineating neural networks. In this paper, we review the recent developments of neurotropic viral tracers and highlight their unique properties in revealing patterns of neuronal connections.展开更多

It is found that the orientation relationship between Mg matrix and MgY phase, [111]_(MgY)//[1210]_(α-Mg) and(101)_(MgY)//(0001)_(α-Mg), exists between Mg matrix and MgY phase.The MgY phase is the potential heterogeneous nuclei substrate for a-Mg solidified under high pressure. It is calculated by Bramfitt mode that the mismatch between Mg matrix and MgY phase is greater than 12% under atmospheric pressure. When solidified under high pressure of 4 GPa, the solidification pressure can increase the number of the α-Mg nucleus by reducing the size of the nucleus, decreasing interfacial energy of MgY/a-Mg, and changing the wettability between MgY phase and α-Mg from non-wetting under atmospheric pressure to wetting under high pressure. The MgY phase becomes a powerful heterogeneous nuclei for α-Mg crystal. Increasing the number of valid heterogeneous nuclei substrate increases nucleus number and refines the grain of the alloy.展开更多
