The influence of charge characteristics of suspension droplets on the ion flow field in different temperatures and humidity

In order to clarify the charging characteristics of suspension droplets in ion flow field under different temperatures and humidity,the effective charging factor used to characterize the charging characteristics of suspension droplets is introduced in this paper,and a calculation method of charging factor is proposed based on the upstream finite element method(FEM).Then,the charging factor under different temperatures and humidity is calculated,and the analytic expression of the charging factor considering the influence of temperature and humidity is obtained by fitting the calculation results.The influence of suspension droplets on the ion flow field is analyzed.The results show that the charging factor is small and increases little with the relative humidity when the relative humidity is less than 60%,and the charging factor is large and increases rapidly with the relative humidity when the relative humidity is more than 60%.At the same relative humidity,the charging factor increases linearly with the temperature.The influence of charged suspension droplets on the ion flow field can be ignored when the relative humidity is less than 60%and must be considered under high temperature and humidity.The calculation method and analytic expression of the charging factor proposed in this paper can be used to model of ion flow field considering the influence of temperature and humidity and provide technical support for the construction of HVDC transmission lines across high temperature and humidity.

An upwind finite element(FE)based algorithm to calculate the ion flow field in the vicinity of multi-circuit DC transmission lines is described.The initial value estimation and boundary condition are optimized,so details of the transmission lines such as bundle conductors and ground wires can be taken into account in the simulation model.Comparison between measured and computed ground level total electrical field and ion current density shows satisfactory agreement.The ion flow field of a ±500 kV HVDC project with bipolar lines on the same tower is simulated.The total electrical field and ion current density on ground level are compared among different line arrangements.

An Investigation of Ionic Flows in a Sphere-Plate Electrode Gap

This paper presents analyses of ion flow characteristics and ion discharge pulses in a sphere-ground plate electrode system. As a result of variation in electric field intensity in the electrode gap, the ion flows towards electrodes generate non-uniform discharging pulses. Inspection of these pulses provides useful information on ionic stream kinetics, the effective thickness of ion cover around electrodes, and the timing of ion clouds discharge pulse sequences. A finite difference time domain （FDTD） based space-charge motion simulation is used for the numerical analysis of the spatio-temporal development of ionic flows following the first Townsend avalanche, and the simulation results demonstrate expansion of the positive ion flow and compression of the negative ion flow, which results in non-uniform discharge pulse characteristics.

On-line Preconcentration and Determination of Trace Metals in Water Samples by Flow Injection Combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry via Calix[4]arene Carboxylic Acid Packed Micro-column

An adsorbent calix[4]arene carboxylic acid was employed as the adsorption material for on-line flow in jection（FI） micro-column preconcentration coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometry（FAAS） determination of trace heavy metals（Cu, Pb, Co, Ni and Cd）. Parameters such as the pH, loading time and flow rate of sample, and the concentration, volume and flow rate of eluent were optimized. The enrichment factors are 50.0, 56.5, 11.6, 12.1 and 19.1 for Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, and Cd, respectively, and a sample throughput of 20 h–1 was obtained. The limits of de tection for Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, and Cd were in a range of 1.56―3.91 μg/L, and the relative standard deviations（RSDs） were less than 2.76%（n=7）. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, and Cd in certified reference materials and various water samples.

Momentum-Dependent Symmetry Potential from Nuclear Collective Flows in Heavy Ion Collisions at Intermediate Energies

Within the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, we investigate the nuclear collective flows produced in semi-central 197 Au＋197 Au collisions at intermediate energies. The neutron proton differential flows and difference of neutron proton collective flows are sensitive to the momentum-dependent symmetry potential. This sensitivity is less affected by both the isoscalar part of nuclear equation of state and in-medium nucleon- nucleon cross sections. Moreover, this sensitivity becomes pronounced with increasing the rapidity cut.

Influences of nitrogen flow rate on the structures and properties of Ti and N co-doped diamond-like carbon films deposited by arc ion plating

In this paper, Ti-C-N nanocomposite films are deposited under different nitrogen flow rates by pulsed bias arc ion plating using Ti and graphite targets in the Ar/N2 mixture gas. The surface morphologies, compositions, microstructures, and mechanical properties of the Ti-C-N films are investigated systematically by field emission scanning electron mi- croscopy （FE-SEM）, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, grazing incident x-ray diffraction （GIXRD）, Raman spectra, and nano-indentation. The results show that the nanocrystalline Ti（C,N） phase precipitates in the film from GIXRD and XPS analysis, and Raman spectra prove the presence of diamond-like carbon, indicating the formation of nanocomposite film with microstructures comprising nanocrystalline Ti（C,N） phase embedded into a diamond-like matrix. The nitrogen flow rate has a significant effect on the composition, structure, and properties of the film. The nano-hardness and elastic modulus first increase and then decrease as nitrogen flow rate increases, reaching a maximum of 34.3 GPa and 383.2 GPa, at a nitrogen flow rate of 90 sccm, respectively.

SPES/PVDF Binary Membrane as an Alternative Proton Exchange Membrane in Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Application

SPES/PVDF blends were employed to prepare the ion exchange membranes for vanadium redox flow battery(VRB) application for the first time. The addition of the highly crystalline and hydrophobic PVDF effectively limited the swelling behavior of SPES. The vanadium ion permeability of SPES/PVDF membranes was one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion 117 membrane and pristine SPES membrane. Single cells with SPES/PVDF composite membranes showed significantly lower capacity loss, higher coulombic efficiency and higher energy efficiency than that with Nafion117 and pristine SPES membranes. The blend membrane with 40 wt% of PVDF(denoted as S_(0.6) P_(0.4)) showed energy efficiency of 83.2% at 30 mA?cm^(-2), which was superior to that of the Nafion117 and SPES membranes. In the self-discharge test, S_(0.6) P_(0.4) membrane showed twice longer duration in open circuit decay than that with Nafion 117 membrane. With all the good properties and low cost, the SPES/PVDF membranes are expected to have excellent commercial prospects as ion exchange membranes for VRB system.

Role of Chloride Ion and Dissolved Oxygen in Electrochemical Corrosion of AA5083-H321 Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy in NaCl Solutions under Flow Conditions

Flow-induced corrosion consists electrochemical and mechanical components. The present paper has to assessed the role of chloride ion and dissolved oxygen in the electrochemical component of flow induced corrosion for AA5083-H321 aluminum-magnesium alloy which is extensively used in the construction of high-speed boats, submarines, hovercrafts, and desalination systems, in NaCI solutions. Electrochemical tests were carried out at flow velocities of 0, ：2, 5, 7 and 10 m/s, in aerated and deaerated NaCI solutions with different sodium chloride concentrations. The results showed that the high rate of oxygen reduction under hydrodynamic conditions causes an increase in the density of pits on the surface. The increase of chloride ions concentration under flow conditions accelerates the rate of anodic reactions, but have no influence on the cathodic reactions. Thus, in the current work, it was found that under flow conditions, due to the elimination of corrosion products inside the pits, corrosion resistance of the alloy is increased.

Effects of Hall Current and Ion-Slip on Unsteady MHD Couette Flow

The unsteady MHD Couette flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid between two infinite non- conducting horizontal porous plates under the boundary layer approximations has been studied with the consideration of both Hall currents and ion-slip. An analytical solution of the governing equations describing the flow is obtained by the Laplace transform method. It is seen that the primary velocity decreases while the magnitude of secondary velocity increases with increase in Hall parameter. It is also seen that both the primary velocity and the magnitude of secondary velocity decrease with increase in ion-slip parameter. It is observed that a thin boundary layer is formed near the stationary plate for large values of squared Hartmann number and Reynolds number. The thickness of this boundary layer increases with increase in either Hall parameter or ion-slip parameter.

Chemiluminescence flow Sensor for determination of the Ammonium ion

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) sensor for NH4+ combined with flow injection analysis is presented in this paper. It is based on the inhibition effect of NH4+ on the CL reaction between luminol, immobilized electrostatically on an anion-exchange column, and hypochlorous acid electrogenerated on-line. The sensor responds linearly to NH4+ concentration in 1.0x10(-6)-4.0x10(-9) g/ml range. A complete analysis could be performed in 1 min. The system is stable for 200 determination.

An extension of the theory is made in order to apply it to helical systems and to study the properties of the zonal flow in the low frequency range. Further refinement of the theory is made incorporating the orbital effects of particles more precisely, and the role of neoclassical polarization current is identified.

本文采用壳聚糖-磷钨酸层对Nafion膜表面分别进行单面和双面修饰改性,研究了修饰模式对Nafion膜钒离子渗透率、电导率及离子选择性的影响.结果表明,单面、双面修饰改性均会使Nafion膜的钒离子渗透率显著降低,最高降幅分别达到89.9%(单面修饰)和92.7%(双面修饰);单面、双面修饰改性均会使Nafion膜的电导率下降,但存在明显差异,在相同修饰厚度条件下,双面修饰改性对Nafion膜电导率的影响比单面修饰改性更小.因此,双面修饰复合膜展示出了比单面修饰复合膜更高的离子选择性,并且在修饰层厚度为17μm时达到最大值(1.12×105S·min·cm^(-3)).基于优化的双面修饰Nafion膜的全钒液流电池,在充放电流密度30 mA·cm-2时,库仑效率和能量效率分别达到93.5%和80.7%,并在测试时间内展示出良好的循环稳定性.

Strong dependency of lithium diffusion on mechanical constraints in high-capacity Li-ion battery electrodes

The effect of external constraints on Li diffusion in high-capacity Li-ion battery electrodes is investigated using a coupled finite deformation theory. It is found that thinfilm electrodes on rigid substrates experience much slower diffusion rates compared with free-standing films with the same material properties and geometric dimensions. More importantly, the study reveals that mechanical driving forces tend to retard diffusion in highly-constrained thin films when lithiation-induced softening is considered, in contrast to the fact that mechanical driving forces always enhance diffusion when deformation is fully elastic. The results provide further proof that nano-particles are a better design option for nextgeneration alloy-based electrodes compared with thin films.

Competition between fusion-evaporation and multifragmentation in central collisions in ^(58)Ni+^(48)Ca at 25A MeV

The experimental data concerning the58Ni+48Ca reaction at Elab(Ni)=25A MeV,collected by using the CHIMERA 4π device,have been analyzed in order to investigate the competition among different reaction mechanisms for central collisions in the Fermi energy domain.As a main criterion for centrality selection we have chosen the flow angle(flow) method,making an event-by-event analysis that considers the shape of events,as it is determined by the eigenvectors of the experimental kinetic-energy tensor.For the selected central events(flow >60°) some global variables,good to characterize the pattern of central collisions have been constructed.The main features of the reaction products were explored by using different constraints on some of the relevant observables,like mass and velocity distributions and their correlations.Much emphasis was devoted,for central collisions,to the competition between fusion-evaporation processes with subsequent identification of a heavy residue and a possible multifragmentation mechanism of a well defined(if any) transient nuclear system.Dynamical evolution of the system and pre-equilibrium emission were taken into account by simulating the reactions in the framework of transport theories.Different approaches have been envisaged(dynamical stochastic BNV calculations + sequential SIMON code,QMD,CoMD,etc.).Preliminary comparison of the experimental data with BNV calculations shows reasonable agreement with the assumption of sequential multifragmentation emission in the mass region of IMFs close to the heavy residues.Possible deviations from sequential processes were found for those IMFs in the region of masses intermediate between the mass of heavy residues and the mass of light IMFs.Further simulations are in progress.The experimental analysis will be enriched also by information obtained inspecting the IMF-IMF correlation function,in order to elucidated the nature of space-time decay property of the emitting source associated with events having the largest IMF multiplicity.

Conductivity and applications of Li-biphenyl-1,2-dimethoxyethane solution for lithium ion batteries

The total conductivity of Li-biphenyl-1,2-dimethoxyethane solution（Li_xBp（DME）_（9.65）, Bp = biphenyl, DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane, x = 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00） is measured by impedance spectroscopy at a temperature range from 0℃ to 40℃. The Li_（1.50）Bp（DME）_（9.65） has the highest total conductivity 10.7 m S/cm. The conductivity obeys Arrhenius law with the activation energy（E_（a（x=0.50））= 0.014 eV, E_（a（x=1.00））= 0.046 eV）. The ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of Li_xBp（DME）_（9.65） solutions are investigated at 20℃ using the isothermal transient ionic current（ITIC） technique with an ion-blocking stainless steal electrode. The ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of Li_（1.00）Bp（DME）_（9.65） are measured as 4.5 mS/cm and 6.6 mS/cm, respectively. The Li_（1.00）Bp（DME）_（9.65） solution is tested as an anode material of half liquid lithium ion battery due to the coexistence of electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity. The lithium iron phosphate（LFP） and Li_（1.5）Al_（0.5）Ti_（1.5）（PO_4）_3（LATP） are chosen to be the counter electrode and electrolyte, respectively. The assembled cell is cycled in the voltage range of 2.2 V-3.75 V at a current density of 50 mA/g. The potential of Li_（1.00）Bp（DME）_（9.65） solution is about 0.3 V vs. Li~＋/Li, which indicates the solution has a strong reducibility. The Li_（1.00）Bp（DME）_（9.65） solution is also used to prelithiate the anode material with low first efficiency, such as hard carbon, soft carbon and silicon.

The Ionic and Electron Stream Acceleration

The work deals with the steady flows of ions and electrons coinciding in quantity and direction. The one- dimensional problem considers the cold ions and electrons characterized by the isentropic state. The area was defined in which the speed of ions exceeds the ion-acoustic speed. The problem may be of interest for the creation of accelerators in which the charged particles have to leave the accelerator in pairs excluding the possibility of charge accumulation in the accelerator.

Apoptosis and necrosis of HeLa cells in response to low-energy ion radiation

The aim of this study was to investigate the damage of low-energy ions to HeLa cells and to particularly examine the relationship between apoptotic and necrotic effects and the low-energy ion radiation. In this study, HeLa cells were irradiated by low-energy ions (30keV N+) at different doses. The level of apoptosis and necrosis was evalu- ated using flow cytometry. Since vacuum is required for experimental low-energy ion generation and irradiation, the cells must be placed in vacuum. Mineral oil was used to prevent dehydration of cells. The results show that the apoptotic rate reached 7.09% when the ion implantation dose was 1 × 1015 ions/cm2; and when the cells were exposed to and implanted at 2 × 1015 ions/cm2 dose, the apoptotic rate was higher than that at 1 × 1015 ions/cm2, and the necrotic rate was 15.63%. In addition, the survival fraction gradually decreased with the increase in implantation dose. Some rela- tionships have been found between the radiation-induced apoptosis and the incubated time after irradiation.

Search for the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions

Quark interactions with topological gluon fields in quantum chromodynamics can yield local P and CP violations that could explain the matter–antimatter asymmetry in our universe. Effects of P and CP violations can lead to charge separation under a strong magnetic field, a phenomenon called the chiral magnetic effect(CME).Early measurements of the CME-induced charge separation in heavy ion collisions are dominated by physics backgrounds. This report discusses the recent innovative efforts in eliminating those backgrounds, namely by eventshape engineering, invariant mass dependence, and reaction and participant plane comparison. The backgroundfree CME measurements using these novel methods are presented.
