Simulation of liquid cone formation on the tip apex of indium field emission electric propulsion thrusters

Field emission electric propulsion(FEEP) thrusters possess excellent characteristics, such as high specific impulse, low power requirements, compact size and precise pointing capabilities,making them ideal propulsion devices for micro-nano satellites. However, the detection of certain aspects, such as the evolution process of the liquid cone and the physical quantities at the cone apex, proves challenging due to the minute size of the needle tip and the vacuum environment in which they operate. Consequently, this paper introduces a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) model to gain insight into the formation process of the liquid cone on the tip apex of indium FEEP. The CFD model is based on electrohydrodynamic(EHD) equations and the volume of fluid(VOF) method. The entire cone formation process can be divided into three stages, and the time-dependent characteristics of the physical quantities at the cone apex are investigated. The influences of film thickness, apex radius size and applied voltage are compared.The results indicate a gradual increase in the values of electrostatic stress and surface tension stress at the cone apex over an initial period, followed by a rapid escalation within a short duration.Apex configurations featuring a small radius, thick film and high voltage exhibit a propensity for liquid cone formation, and the cone growth time decreases as the film thickness increases.Moreover, some unstable behavior is observed during the cone formation process.

An Alternative Way to Mapping Cone: The Algebraic Topology of the Pinched Tensor

In this research, we explore the properties and applications of the mapping cone and its variant, the pinched mapping cone. The mapping cone is a construction that arises naturally in algebraic topology and is used to study the homotopy type of spaces. It has several key properties, including its homotopy equivalence to the cofiber of a continuous map, and its ability to compute homotopy groups using the long exact sequence associated with the cofiber. We also provide an overview of the properties and applications of the mapping cone and the pinched mapping cone in algebraic topology. This work highlights the importance of these constructions in the study of homotopy theory and the calculation of homotopy groups. The study also points to the potential for further research in this area which includes the study of higher homotopy groups and the applications of these constructions to other areas of mathematics.

A novel seed cone of Pinus from the Miocene of coastal Southeast China indicates kinship with Southeast Asian pines

Pinus is an economically and ecologically important genus whose members are dominant components globally in low-latitude mountainous and mid-latitude temperate forests.Pinus species richness is currently concentrated in subtropical mid-low latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere,differing from the latitudinal diversity gradient mostly recognized in woody angiosperms.How the present pattern was developing in Earth's past is still poorly studied,particularly in eastern Asia.Here,a new fossil species,Pinus shengxianica sp.nov.is described based on a fossil seed cone from the Late Miocene Shengxian Formation in Zhejiang,southeast China.A co-occurring cone is recognized as a known fossil species,Pinus speciosa Li.Extensive comparison of extant and fossil members of Pinus suggests P.shengxianica shares a striking cone similarity to Pinus merkusii and Pinus latteri(subsection Pinus)from tropical Southeast Asia in having annular bulges around the umbo on the apophysis.The morphological resemblance indicates these two extant low-latitude pines probably possess a close affinity with the present newly-discovered P.shengxianica and originated from East Asian mid-low latitude ancestors during this generic re-diversification in the Miocene.This scenario is consistent with the evolutionary trajectory reflected by the pine fossil history and molecular data,marking the Miocene as a key period for the origin and evolution of most extant pines globally.The co-occurrences of diverse conifers and broadleaved angiosperms preferring diverse niches demonstrate Late Miocene eastern Zhejiang was one of the hot spots for coniferophyte diversity and hosted a needled-broadleaved mixed forest with complex vegetation structure and an altitudinal zonation.

Transcriptome Analysis of Auxin Drives Cone Size Regulation in Fokienia hodginsii

As the reproductive organ of the endangered species Fokienia hodginsii,the size of the cones is a constraint on the reproductive renewal of the population.In this study,the molecular basis of the influence of cone size on F.hodginsii was elucidated by comparing the phenotype,biochemistry,and transcriptome of two cultivars of F.hodginsii(‘FJ431’and‘FJ415’).The two cultivars differed significantly in cone size,with FJ431 having a significantly larger cone size and weight than FJ415,1.32 and 1.90 times that of FJ415,respectively.RNA-Seq analysis of both cultivars retrieved 75,940 genes whose approximate functions were classified as the pathway of response to endogenous stimulus and response to hormone and showed significant differences in the auxin-activated signaling pathway,particularly the MAPK signaling pathway-plant.Furthermore,the endogenous IAA content was significantly higher in FJ431 than in FJ415,and 1.58 and 1.29 times more IAA was present in immature and mature cones,respectively.Moreover,exogenous IAA treatment significantly induced the expression of the MAPK pathway-related gene TRINITY_DN10564_c0_g1 and significantly inhibited the expression of the MAPK pathwayrelated gene TRINITY_DN17056_c0_g1.Our work suggests that IAA can affect the cone size of F.hodginsii,most probably through the MAPK pathway.This has high theoretical and practical significance for the improvement of genetic breeding and the further cultivation of quality germplasm resources of F.hodginsii.

Technique for Estimating the Cone Bearing Smoothing Parameters

Cone penetration testing (CPT) is an extensively utilized and cost effective tool for geotechnical site characterization. CPT consists of pushing at a constant rate an electronic cone into penetrable soils and recording the resistance to the cone tip (qc value). The measured qc values (after correction for the pore water pressure) are utilized to estimate soil type and associated soil properties based predominantly on empirical correlations. The most common cone tips have associated areas of 10 cm2 and 15 cm2. Investigators also utilized significantly larger cone tips (33 cm2 and 40 cm2) so that gravelly soils can be penetrated. Small cone tips (2 cm2 and 5 cm2) are utilized for shallow soil investigations. The cone tip resistance measured at a particular depth is affected by the values above and below the depth of interest which results in a smoothing or blurring of the true bearing values. Extensive work has been carried out in mathematically modelling the smoothing function which results in the blurred cone bearing measurements. This paper outlines a technique which facilitates estimating the dominant parameters of the cone smoothing function from processing real cone bearing data sets. This cone calibration technique is referred to as the so-called CPSPE algorithm. The mathematical details of the CPSPE algorithm are outlined in this paper along with the results from a challenging test bed simulation.

海水淡化厂具有能量密集、运行灵活的特点,是理想的电力需求响应资源。然而,现有关于淡化厂与电网协同运行的研究大多关注电网和淡化厂的一体化调度、无法适应双方自主决策的工程场景,对淡化厂运行约束的刻画也比较粗糙。该文研究反渗透淡化厂与区域水-能耦合系统(waterenergy nexus,WEN)的协同运行方法。首先,考虑淡化厂的生产流程、调节特性和运行约束,分别建立传统及新能源淡化厂的水-能管理模型;其次,在保障两类淡化厂和区域WEN自主决策和信息隐私的条件下,提出以双方调度计划互动为载体的“激励型”和“价格型”两种协同运行机制及调度模型,并提出基于二阶锥松弛和McCormick包络的求解方法。用算例验证所提协同运行机制、调度模型及求解方法的有效性。

盾尾刷-油脂腔密封系统油脂逃逸规律研究

油脂逃逸导致油脂腔内压力降低,由此诱发的盾尾密封系统漏水、漏浆等安全责任事故屡屡发生。研制盾尾刷密封系统油脂逃逸的单元体试验装置,采用逐级加压将油脂注入盾尾密封系统油脂腔内,每级压力持续420 s,记录不同盾尾间隙及不同油脂锥入度工况下腔内的密封油脂开始逃逸时的油脂注入压力值、以及逃逸后储油装置中密封油脂的稳定损耗速率,最终获得了盾尾密封系统的油脂逃逸规律,并总结了盾尾油脂的逃逸模式。研究结果表明:1)油脂逃逸速率主要受油脂锥入度和油脂压力的影响,根据油脂逃逸规律变化曲线,油脂逃逸速率可以分为不逃逸、低速逃逸、快速逃逸3个阶段。油脂不逃逸至低速逃逸的油脂压力称为油脂逃逸压力,油脂低速逃逸与快速逃逸之间的油脂压力值为油脂腔内外压差控制值;2)建立了油脂逃逸速率和工程中油脂消耗量的对应关系,结合工程中每环盾尾油脂允许消耗量可实时判断盾尾刷密封性能;3)当油脂锥入度小于286.4(1/10 mm),盾构姿态与管片姿态控制良好时(盾尾平均间隙为75 mm),在水土压力及同步注浆压力基础上最大可增加0.3 MPa的油脂压力,提出的油脂腔内外压差控制值可指导实际工程盾尾油脂压力设定最大值;4)油脂逃逸模式可划分为无逃逸、非均匀逃逸和均匀逃逸3种模式并得出其发生条件。该研究对于指导盾尾密封性的设计及施工有着基础性的意义。

电缆终端应力锥错位缺陷对界面温度及应力分布的影响

电缆终端内部缺陷会造成终端内部电场分布不均、局部温度升高与应力分布变化,可能引发局部放电造成绝缘击穿。为研究终端应力锥错位缺陷对电缆界面温度及应力分布的影响,分别建立了电缆终端安装不足与安装过盈情况下的电缆终端错位缺陷模型,并进行电-热-力多物理场耦合仿真分析。结果表明:电缆终端绝缘屏蔽层截断处是电缆终端的薄弱部位,终端界面温度和界面压力都会在绝缘屏蔽层截断处发生突变。当电缆终端存在安装不足缺陷时,终端屏蔽层截断处与应力锥根部之间会出现电场升高区域,在安装位置为-7.5 mm时界面温度最高,绝缘界面压力值升高,且安装位置为-2.5mm时绝缘承受的压力值最大;当电缆终端存在安装过盈缺陷时,绝缘屏蔽层截断处会发生电场畸变,电场突变量随着偏移量的增加而增大,在安装位置为+5.0mm时绝缘界面压力值最大,且界面压力突变量增加发生畸变。因此,在电缆终端实际设计安装与运行维护中,额外注意应力锥错位缺陷对终端内部应力分布的影响十分必要。

单点渐进成形工艺参数对铝合金圆锥台表面粗糙度的影响

表面粗糙度是影响渐进成形零件质量的关键因素之一,为了探究工艺参数对零件表面粗糙度的影响,采用单点渐进成形技术对5052铝合金板料进行成形实验,研究工艺参数轴向进给量、主轴转速、进给速度对圆锥台表面质量的影响,并使用粗糙度仪测量外表面粗糙度R_(a)值。实验结果表明:降低轴向进给量可以改善零件表面质量;随着主轴转速增大,零件粗糙度R_(a)呈先减小后增大趋势;进给速度对粗糙度R_(a)影响较小,随着进给速度增大,粗糙度R_(a)呈先减小后增大趋势,受零件尺寸限制,进给速度超过2817 mm·min^(-1)时,内表面“鱼鳞纹”和粗糙度R_(a)几乎没有变化。

基于锥形束CT的老年人下颌前磨牙根面沟及根管构型研究

目的本研究利用锥形束CT(Cone-beam CT,CBCT)分析对下颌第一、第二前磨牙根面沟的发生率、分布特点、长度及深度进行定量分析,并对其根管构型进行统计学评估,以期为临床治疗决策提供依据。方法收集678颗下颌第一前磨牙、482颗下颌第二前磨牙的CBCT图像,对其根管构型进行详尽分析,测量并记录根面沟的位置、长度及深度。结果下颌第一、第二前磨牙的根管构型主要为TypeⅠ(分别为87.76%、97.93%),其次是TypeⅤ(分别为6.93%、1.03%)和TypeⅢ(分别为3.09%、0.83%),以及其他少见类型。根面沟在下颌第一前磨牙中的检出率为15.63%,在下颌第二前磨牙中为3.11%,二者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。在伴有根面沟的前磨牙中,复杂根管构型的检出率(如Ⅲa型、Ⅲb型、Ⅴa型、Ⅴb型等)显著高于无根面沟的前磨牙(P<0.05)。结论根面沟的存在与复杂根管构型高度相关,特别是在下颌第一前磨牙中。根面沟的出现可能会引起根管系统变异,从而增加临床治疗的难度与风险。

弹体尾部斜锥面形状对侵彻偏转的影响

针对弹体斜侵彻多层靶时弹道发生的偏转问题,建立了弹体尾部为斜锥面结构的弹体侵彻偏转理论计算模型,获得了当速度为0.2~1.2km/s、着角为-30°~20°、弹体半径为30~60 mm、尾飘斜面与弹轴的夹角为0°~4°时偏转随尾部结构的变化规律,通过与试验结果进行对比,验证了模型的准确性。结果表明:弹体侵彻仰靶时,弹尾形成负的偏转力矩,弹体产生“低头”效果;弹体侵彻俯靶时,弹尾形成正的偏转力矩,弹体产生“抬头”效果;弹体尾部斜锥面产生的垂直弹轴的偏转力矩约为平行弹轴的偏转力矩的100倍;增大尾飘斜面与弹轴的夹角、尾飘长度、弹体半径均可增大偏转力矩;与增大尾飘长度相比,增大尾飘斜面与弹轴的夹角对增大偏转力矩更有效。
