Evaluation of cathode quality and damage of aluminium electrolytic cell based on non-destructive technology

To evaluate the quality and damage condition of the electrolyzer,wave velocity detection technology and impact echo technology were used to detect the cathode part of the electrolyzer.The experimental results show that wave velocity is linearly related to the porosity,and there is also a linear relationship between wave velocity and the square root of reciprocal density in cathode carbon blocks(CCBs)before installation into electrolyzer.Combined with detection results of wave velocity and voltage drop,the large-size CCBs with relatively good quality can be found.Through the impact echo technology on cathode steel rods(CSRs),the results of the on-site detection show that the damage condition of CSRs can be effectively evaluated,and the damage location of CSRs can be determined.This study proposes a novel and quantifiable method for the evaluation of cathode quality and damage,which provides a reference for prolonging the service life of the electrolyzer.

Analysis of Moving Target Detection in Space-Surface BiSAR

Based on the geometric structure of multi-channel space-surface bistatic aperture radar（SS-BiSAR）,the time-frequency and spatial-frequency relationships of clutter and moving target are detailedly analyzed.It is found that the prepositive stationary receiver can improve the spatial separation between moving target and correspondingly competitive clutter,furthermore the processing scheme of space-time adaptive processing（STAP） in SS-BiSAR echo domain is given.Meanwhile,compared to the STAP in monostatic synthetic aperture radar（SAR）,it is firstly proved that the minimum detectable velocity in SS-BiSAR system can improve R0/R1（transmitter-to-target distance over receiver-to-target） times.Finally,the computer simulation verifies the effectiveness of the STAP processing scheme.

Improved Minimum Detectable Velocity in Bistatic Space-Based Radar

Single orbit bistatic space-based radar （SBR） is composed of two radars in the same orbit. The characteristics of the clutter Doppler-angle spectrum of a single orbit bistatic SBR show that the slope of the mainbeam clutter spectrum is highly sensitive to the cone angles. Therefore, the minimum detectable velocity of the bistatic system is dependent on the cone angle. Then a new combined working mode of singleorbit bistatic SBR system was developed in which one radar will act as the transmitter and another as the receiver to improve detection performance for all angles. Simulation results by space-time adaptive processing verify the improved detection performance. The new design also reduces the average power of each radar system and the size and weight of the on-board solar array-battery system.
