Ferroresonance at Open Phase Operating Conditions of Power Transformers

The reliability of electric supply to consumers is one of the most important factors that determine the requirements imposed on modem utility companies. This paper presents the results of investigation by computer software of the overvoltages resulting from a ferroresonance conditions in MV networks at open phase operating condition with and without connection to earth on source and load sides of distribution transformer. This overvoltage may reach 4.2 pu on one of the HV side of transformer unswitched phases. The results of the study show that ferroresonance overvoltage may be controlled by replacing fuses with circuit breakers on HV side to ensure switching-off all phases. Insertion of resistor or reactor in the neutral of source and loadsides of the transformer with 5% active load will help in suppressing overvoltages.

Shear strength degradation of gas hydrate-bearing sediment due to partial hydrate dissociation

Extraction of methane hydrate from subseafloor reservoir may potentially trigger seabed slides and induce subsidence.To address the problems,it is crucial to properly characterize the phase equilibrium condition of pore hydrate and the shear strength of the soil.As one of the key constitutive components,the phase equilibrium condition enforces a constraint over pore gas pressure,temperature and unhydrated water content.Such a constraint,however,has been traditionally ignored in analyzing the mechanical behavior of hydrate-bearing soil.In this paper,a series of stepwise hydrate dissociation tests was performed,and the phase equilibrium condition of pore hydrate was determined,providing an effective way to evaluate the unhydrated water content during hydrate dissociation.Meanwhile,a series of direct shear tests was also conducted to explore the shear strength characteristics of the soil.It is shown that the shear strength of the hydrate-bearing soil can be significantly influenced by pore gas pressure,unhydrated water content,hydrate saturation and several other factors.In particular,the measured shear strength depends upon the initial water content of the sample,pointing to a potential problem that the shear strength could be wrongly determined if not properly interpreted.A shear strength criterion,which enforces the equilibrium condition of pore hydrate,is developed for hydrate-bearing soil,establishing a link between the equilibrium condition and the shear strength.The proposed equation describes well the shear strength characteristics of hydrate-bearing soils,remarkably unifying the effects of pore pressure,temperature,water content and hydrate saturation.

Implementation of a nonlocal N-qubit conditional phase gate using the nitrogen–vacancy center and microtoroidal resonator coupled systems

Implementation of a nonlocal multi-qubit conditional phase gate is an essential requirement in some quantum infor- mation processing （QIP） tasks. Recently, a novel solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） system, in which the nitrogen-vacancy （NV） center in diamond is coupled to a microtoroidal resonator （MTR）, has been proposed as a poten- tial system for hybrid quantum information and computing. By virtue of such systems, we present a scheme to realize a nonlocal N-qubit conditional phase gate directly. Our scheme employs a cavity input-output process and single-photon interference, without the use of any auxiliary entanglement pair or classical communication. Considering the currently available technologies, our scheme might be quite useful among different nodes in quantum networks for large-scaled QIP.

Simple Scheme for Realizing the General Conditional Phase Shift Gate and a Simulation of Quantum Fourier Transform in Circuit QED

We propose a theoretical scheme for realizing the general conditional phase shift gate of charge qubits situated in a high-Q superconducting transmission line resonator. The phase shifting angle can be tuned from 0 to 27r by simply adjusting the qubit-resonator detuning and the interaction time. Based on this gate proposal, we give a detailed procedure to implement the three-qubit quantum Fourier transform with circuit quantum eleetrodynamics （QED）. A careful analysis of the decoherence sources shows that the algorithm can be achieved with a high fidelity using current circuit QED techniques.

Prediction and programming of microemulsion phase behavior simulation

In the process of microemulsion flooding,microemulsion phase state may be affected by the adsorption of core and the distribution of oil and water,and the upper phase,the middle phase or the lower phase microemulsion will appear.Accurate description of microemulsion phase state and quantitative discrimination of equilibrium phase composition are of great theoretical value and research significance for the design of microemulsion flooding system and improving the recovery efficiency of microemulsion.Therefore,in this paper,microemulsion phase model is deeply studied.Aiming at the difficulty of solving the existing Hand model and the unknown parameters of the improved HLD-NAC model,we introduce the binodal curve range parameter D and the asymmetric migration degree parameter B,and establish a new phase behavior description method of the binodal curve,the two-phase plait point lines and the III-phase node line.Then the phase discrimination programming of microemulsion was carried out,and the change laws of phase number,phase type and mass fraction of equilibrium phases of any microemulsion system under different salinity were revealed.The results show that the simulation results of microemulsions accord with the salinity scanning law,and can accurately identify the complex microemulsion phase states.

Reaction condition optimization and kinetic investigation of roasting zinc oxide ore using (NH_4)_2SO_4

An orthogonal test was used to optimize the reaction conditions of roasting zinc oxide ore using（NH_4）_2SO_4. The optimized reaction conditions are defined as an（NH_4）_2SO_4/zinc molar ratio of 1.4：1, a roasting temperature of 440°C, and a thermostatic time of 60 min. The molar ratio of（NH_4）_2SO_4/zinc is the most predominant factor and the roasting temperature is the second significant factor that governs the zinc extraction. Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis was used for（NH_4）_2SO_4 and zinc mixed in a molar ratio of 1.4：1 at the heating rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 K·min-1. Two strong endothermic peaks indicate that the complex chemical reactions occur at approximately 290°C and 400°C. XRD analysis was employed to examine the transformations of mineral phases during roasting process. Kinetic parameters, including reaction apparent activation energy, reaction order, and frequency factor, were calculated by the Doyle-Ozawa and Kissinger methods. Corresponding to the two endothermic peaks, the kinetic equations were obtained.

Pronoun Anaphor and Cataphor in Chinese

Chinese pronoun anaphora and cataphora are different from those in English.The co-indexing judgment tests implemented by the present study indicate that for anaphora,only when the focus is on the head DP of the possessive phrase,the co-indexing between DP at possessive position and anaphor is possible.This can be explained by c-commanding instead of parameterized DP hypothesis since DP at possessive position c-commands pronoun anaphor but the focus shift will lead to the implicit raise of the head DP of the possessive phrase and change the structure.For cataphora,the pronoun cataphor at possessive position fails to co-index with DP and pronoun cataphor in sentences with C head can co-index with DP.It is argued that phase condition and visibility condition can explain cataphora in Chinese instead of the phase commanding theory since both phase condition and visibility condition can ensure the temporary location of cataphor for checking semantic match.

Controlled Phase Flip Gate and Its Application in Low-Q Cavities by Single-Photon Input-Output Process

By employing an auxiliary cavity, we investigate the possibility to implement the conditional phase flip （CPF） gate on two atoms confined in separate 1ow-Q cavities by single-photon input-output process, based on the Faraday rotation. This indicates a universal quantum computing available with sophisticated cavity QED techniques. As examples, we carry out generation of duster states of distant atomic qubits and accomplish a teleportation based on Bell-state measurement in low-Q cavities.

Non-Geometric Conditional Phase Gate by Quantum Zeno Dynamics in Laser-Excited Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers

Based on the quantum Zeno dynamics,we propose a two-qubit non-geometric conditional phase gate between two nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled to a whispering-gallery mode cavity.The varying phases design of periodic laser can be used for realizing non-geometric conditional phase gate,and the cavity mode is virtually excited during the gate operation.Thus,the fidelity of the gate operation is insensitive to cavity decay and the fluctuation of the preset laser intensity.The numerical simulation with a realistic set of experimental parameters shows that the gate fidelity 0.987 can be within reached in the near future.
