We obtain new possible mathematical connections with some sectors of Number Theory, Ramanujan Recurring Numbers, DN Constant and String Theory, that enable us to extract the quantum geometrical properties of these thermodynamic equations and the implication to the quantum vacuum spacetime geometry of our early universe as they act as the constraints to the nature of quantum gravity of the universe.

Atmospheric and oceanic responses to Super Typhoon Mangkhut in the South China Sea:a coupled CROCO-WRF simulation

The South China Sea(SCS)is the largest marginal sea in the Northwest Pacific Ocean,and it encounters frequent typhoons.The atmosphere and ocean will create significant thermal and dynamic responses during the intense disturbance caused by typhoons.However,these responses have not been thoroughly investigated owing to the complicated marine environment.According to the satellite data,the SCS Basin was observed to have a strong sea surface temperature(SST)response to Typhoon Mangkhut,resulting in widespread SST cooling.A coupled model was used to investigate the atmospheric and oceanic responses to Typhoon Mangkhut.Best-track data,satellite SST,and ARGO measurements show that the coupled WRF-CROCO simulation displays better track,intensity,SST,temperature,and salinity profiles than those of the WRF-only simulation.Results show that the typhoon induced rightward intensifications in wind speed,ocean current,and SST.The following are some remarkable atmosphere and ocean responses:(1)the SST below the inner-core region is cooled by 1℃,resulting in a 37%-44%decrease in wet enthalpy,and the central pressure is increased by~9 hPa.Therefore,the changes in SST below the innercore region of the SCS Basin have a significant impact on air-sea fluxes under high-wind conditions;(2)the ocean boundary layer analysis shows that near-inertial oscillations on the right side of the typhoon track and a strong inertial current up to~2.28 m/s in the upper ocean were observed,which resonated with the local wind and flow field on the right side and induced strong SST cooling;(3)a decrease in SST decreased the moist static energy of the typhoon boundary layer,thereby weakening the typhoon’s intensity.The difference in equivalent potential temperature and sea surface pressure have a good correlation,indicating that the influence of moist static energy on typhoon intensity cannot be overlooked.

Design of a graphene oxide@melamine foam/polyaniline@erythritol composite phase change material for thermal energy storage

At present,only a single modification method is adopted to improve the shortcomings of erythritol(ET)as a phase change material(PCM).Compared with a single modification method,the synergistic effect of multiple modification methods can endow ET with comprehensive performance to meet the purpose of package,supercooling reduction,and enhancement of thermal conductivity.In this work,we innovatively combine graphene oxide(GO)nanosheet modified melamine foam(MF)and polyaniline(PANI)to construct a novel ET-based PCM by blending and porous material adsorption modification.PANI as the nucleation center can enhance the crystallization rate,thereby reducing the supercooling of ET.Meanwhile,GO@MF foam can not only be used as a porous support material to encapsulate ET but also as a heat conduction reinforcement to improve heat storage and release rate.As a result,the supercooling of GO@MF/PANI@ET(GMPET)composite PCM decreases from 91.2℃ of pure ET to 57.9℃ and its thermal conductivity(1.58 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1))is about three times higher than that of pure ET(0.57 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)).Moreover,after being placed at 140℃ for 2 h,there is almost no ET leakage in the GMPET composite PCM,and the mass loss ratio is less than 0.75%.In addition,the GMPET composite PCM displays a high melting enthalpy of about 259 J·g^(-1) and a high initial mass loss temperature of about 198℃.Even after the 200th cycling test,the phase transition temperature and the latent heat storage capacity of the GMPET PCM all remain stable.This work offers an effective and promising strategy to design ET-based composite PCM for the field of energy storage.

Efficient SO_(2)removal using aqueous ionic liquid at low partial pressure

The development of novel absorbents is essential for SO_(2)removal.In this study,a novel ionic liquid(IL,[BHEP][HSO_(4)])was prepared,and water was selected as the co-solvent.The density and viscosity of aqueous[BHEP][HSO_(4)]were measured and the SO_(2)absorption performance was systematically investigated.Furthermore,the thermodynamic properties of SO_(2)in aqueous[BHEP][HSO_(4)]were calculated.Additionally,the mechanism of SO_(2)absorption in aqueous[BHEP][HSO_(4)]was confirmed using Fouriertransform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.It showed that[BHEP][HSO_(4)]absorbed0.302 g·g^(-1)(g SO_(2)/g IL)at an SO_(2)partial pressure of 2000μl·L^(-1)at 303.2 K,and the SO_(2)desorption enthalpy was-39.63 k J·mol^(-1).The mechanistic study confirmed the chemical absorption of SO_(2)in aqueous[BHEP][HSO_(4)].

Impacts of Surface Exchange Coefficients on Simulations of Super Typhoon Megi(2010)Using a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave Model

In this study,the effects of surface exchange coefficients on simulations of Super Typhoon Megi(2010)are investigated using a fully coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave model.Several experiments are conducted using different parameterization schemes for the drag(C_(D))and enthalpy exchange(C_(K))coefficients.For the selected case,considering only the leveling-off of C_(D)at high wind speeds does not effectively improve the simulated typhoon track,intensity,or size.We found that increasing C_(K)monotonically with wind speed(Komori et al.,2018)yields stronger winds and deeper pressures by enhancing latent and sensible heat fluxes,but typhoon intensity remains underestimated.We propose a new higher C_(K)than that from Komori et al.(2018)based on the theory of Emanuel(1995).This approach produces a greater modeled typhoon intensity that is in good agreement with the best track data and effectively improves the track error for the simulation.Improved accuracy for modeled typhoon intensity is achieved with the new coefficient because C_(K)/C_(D)reaches the threshold of about 0.75 predicted by Emanuel(1995).The new proposed C_(K)also results in a reasonably accurate modeled sea surface temperature.However,typhoon size and surface wave height are overestimated.This finding implies that more numerical tests for tropical cyclones of different nature(such as strong,weak,dissipating,rapidly intensifying,or weakening tropical cyclones)should be studied,and more physical processes should be explored in future coupled models.

A group of ductile metallic glasses prepared by modifying local structure of icosahedral quasicrystals

Inspired by research into the association between icosahedral local orders and the plasticity of metallic glasses(MGs),beryllium(Be) is added to the icosahedral quasi-crystal forming alloy Zr40Ti40Ni20. In this way, bulk metallic glasses(BMGs) with favorable compressive plasticity are fabricated. Therein, the icosahedral quasi-crystalline phase is the main competing phase of amorphous phases and icosahedral local orders are the main local atomic motifs in amorphous phases.The alloys of(Zr40Ti40Ni20)76Be24and (Zr40Ti40Ni20)72Be28with their greater plastic strain capacity show similar characteristics to highly plastic amorphous systems: The serrated flow of compression curves always follows a near-exponential distribution. The primary and secondary shear bands intersect each other, bifurcate, and bend. Typical vein patterns are densely distributed on the fracture surfaces. The relaxation enthalpy of four MGs is linearly correlated with the plastic strain, that is, the greater the relaxation enthalpy, the larger the plastic strain.

Early Detection of Heartbeat from Multimodal Data Using RPA Learning with KDNN-SAE

Heartbeat detection stays central to cardiovascular an electrocardiogram(ECG)is used to help with disease diagnosis and management.Existing Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)-based methods suffer from the less generalization problem thus;the effectiveness and robustness of the traditional heartbeat detector methods cannot be guaranteed.In contrast,this work proposes a heartbeat detector Krill based Deep Neural Network Stacked Auto Encoders(KDNN-SAE)that computes the disease before the exact heart rate by combining features from multiple ECG Signals.Heartbeats are classified independently and multiple signals are fused to estimate life threatening conditions earlier without any error in classification of heart beat.This work contained Training and testing stages,in the preparation part at first the Adaptive Filter Enthalpy-based Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)is utilized to eliminate the motion artifact in the signal.At that point,the robotic process automation(RPA)learning part extracts the effective features are extracted,and normalized the value of the feature then estimated utilizing the RPA loss function.At last KDNN-SAE prepared training for the data stored in the dataset.In the subsequent stage,input signal compute motion artifact and RPA Learning the evaluation part determines the detection of Heartbeat.So early diagnosis of heart failures is an essential factor.The results of the experiments show that our proposed method has a high score outcome of 0.9997.Comparable to the CIF,which reaches 0.9990.The CNN and Artificial Neural Network(ANN)had less score 0.95115 and 0.90147.

Modified White Hole Enthalpy Coupled to Quantum Bose-Einstein Condensate at Extremely Low Entropy

We model the universe as a white hole, and in the process we perform detailed analysis of the enthalpy equation of the modified white hole, and we get a much detailed picture of when and how did;quantum gravity (cosmology) phase, inflationary phase, and the acceleration phase of the universe happened. We determine the field equations of the modified white hole and evolve the scale factor and compare the evolution to the thermodynamic properties of the universe. We also illustrate that the strong energy condition is violated, but both the null energy condition and the strong cosmic censorship are not violated. Lastly, we couple the enthalpy to the Bose-Einstein condensate at extremely low entropy at the quantum gravity (cosmology) regime. Thereafter, we determine the unstable condition of the Bose-Einstein quantum equation which we interpret as the moment when the big bang occurred.

Formation condition of solid solution type high-entropy alloy

Formation condition of high-entropy alloys with solid solution structure was investigated. Seventeen kinds of the high-entropy alloys with different components were prepared, the influencing factors （the comprehensive atomic radius difference δ, the mixing enthalpy AH and the mixing entropy AS） of phase composition of the alloys were calculated, and the microstructure and phase compositions of alloys were analyzed by using SEM and XRD. The result shows that only the systems with δ≤2.77 and △H≥-8.8 kJ/mol will form high entropy alloy with simple solid solution. Otherwise, intermetallic compounds will exist in the alloys. So, selection of the type of element has important effects on microstructure and properties of high entropy alloys.

Theoretical Study of the C-CI Bond Dissociation Enthalpy and Electronic Structure of Substituted Chlorobenzene Compounds

Quantum chemical calculations were used to estimate the bond dissociation energies （BDEs） for 13 substituted chlorobenzene compounds. These compounds were studied by the hybrid density functional theory （B3LYP, B3PW91, B3P86） methods together with 6-31G^＊＊ and 6-311G^＊＊ basis sets. The results show that B3P86/6-311G^＊＊ method is the best method to compute the reliable BDEs for substituted chlorobenzene compounds which contain the C-C1 bond. It is found that the C-C1 BDE depends strongly on the computational method and the basis sets used. Substituent effect on the C-C1 BDE of substituted chlorobenzene compounds is further discussed. It is noted that the effects of substitution on the C-C1 BDE of substituted chlorobenzene compounds are very insignificant. The energy gaps between the HOMO and LUMO of studied compounds estimate the relative thermal stability ordering are also investigated and from this data we of substituted chlorobenzene compounds.

Linear correlations of formation enthalpies/bulk modules and atomic volumes observed in Pt-Zr compounds by ab initio calculation

118 kinds of Pt-Zr phases were established and investigated by considering various structures. Then the related physical properties, such as structural stability, lattice constants, formation enthalpies, elastic constants and bulk moduli, are obtained by ab initio calculations. Based on the calculated results of formation enthalpies, the ground-state convex hull is derived for the Pt-Zr system. The calculated physical data would provide a basis for further thermodynamic calculations and atomistic simulations. For these Pt-Zr compounds, it is found there are a positive linear correlation between the formation enthalpies and atomic volumes, and a negative linear correlation between the bulk modules and atomic volumes.

Density Functional Theory Calculations on Ni-Ligand Bond Dissociation Enthalpies

The formation and breaking of Ni-L （L=N-heterocyclic carbene, tertiary phosphine etc.） bond is involved in many Ni-catalyzed/mediated reactions. The accurate prediction of Ni-L bond dissociation enthalpies （BDEs） is potentially important to understand these Ni-complex involving reactions. We assess the accuracy of diffierent DFT functionals （such as B3LYP, M06, MPWB1K, etc.） and diffierent basis sets, including both effective core potentials for Ni and the all electron basis sets for all other atoms in predicting the Ni-L BDE values reported recently by Nolan et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 10490 （2003） and Organometallics 27, 3181 （2008）]. It is found that the MPWB1K/LanL2DZ：6-31＋G（d,p）//MPWB1K/LanL2DZ：6-31G（d） method gives the best correlations with the experimental results. Meanwhile, the solvent effect calculations （with CPCM, PCM, and SMD models） indicate that both CPCM and PCM perform well.

Heat stress management in underground mines

Heat management must be maintained within the mine working environment to minimize stress on equipment and personnel. The issue is a growing concern as mines continue to expand in size, depth and infrastructure. Heat management is a concern as it relates to both heat sensitive equipment and more importantly the health and safety of the workers found within the mine. Proper application of engineering protocols and work practice controls will have a direct impact on the health and safety of workers and increased productivity. Using continuous monitoring stations placed in strategic locations throughout the mine to capture the environmental conditions, various strategies can be used in the planning and prevention of potential hazard exposure. Economic analysis is used to select the most feasible strategy for heat stress control. This paper presents a step by step methodology that may be considered by ventilation specialists to effectively implement a heat management control system. A case study based on a detailed heat management assessment conducted for a potash mine in Saskatchewan, Canada is presented.

Batch studies of adsorption of copper and lead on activated carbon from Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. bark

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, and temperature. The best adsorption of both Cu(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) occurred at pH 5, where the adsorption reached equilibrium within 45 min for the whole range of initial heavy metal concentrations (0.1-10 mmol/L). The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-...

Theoretical Calculation Model of Heat Transfer for Deep-derived Supercritical Fluids with a Case Study

Based on a set of equations established by Duan et al. (1992, 1996) for a geofluid system H2O-CO2-CH4(-N2), a formula is obtained to calculate the heat changes. Combining the geological T-P conditions (geothermal gradients and lithostatic and hydrostatic pressures), the enthalpy of some typical geofluids is figured out. Then the principles of heat transfer of deep-derived supercritical fluids are discussed. The result shows that deep-derived geofluids can bring a large amount of thermal heat and release most heat to the shallow surroundings as they move up, because the molar enthalpies vary very greatly from the deep to shallow, increasing with the increases of T and P. Generally, more than tens of kilojoules heat per molar can be released. Furthermore, the molar enthalpy is affected by the compositions of the geofluids, and the molar enthalpy of CO2, CH4, or N2 is greater than that of H2O, being twice, more than twice, and about 140% of H2O, respectively. Finally, a case study is conducted by investigating a source rock sequence affected hydrothermally by magmatic fluids in the Huimin depression of Shengli Oilfield. The thermal heat calculated theoretically of the fluids related to a diabase intrusion is quite large, which can increase the temperature near the diabase to about 300℃, and that can, to some extent, account for the abnormal rise of the vitrinite reflectance, with the highest of about 3.8% (Ro).

A general thermodynamic model for the long-period stacking ordered phases in magnesium alloys

A thermodynamic model Mg x(Xs,Mg)6(Xl,Mg)8(Xs and Xl are elements smaller and larger than Mg)for long-period stacking ordered phases(LPSOs)was proposed based on two key factors:the Xs 6 Xl 8-type L12 clusters and the variation of chemical compositions.In general,all available LPSOs can be described with this model.As a representative system,Mg-Y-Zn with three LPSOs was investigated using the CALPHAD(calculation of phase diagram)approach aided with first-principles calculations.Two new three-phase equilibria were predicted and were validated by key experiments.The model-based descriptions will be the basis for the research and development of magnesium alloys.
