High-temperature creep properties of uranium dioxide pellet

High-temperature creep properties of sintered uranium dioxide pellets with two grain sizes （9.0 μm and 23.8μm） were studied. The results indicate that the creep rate becomes a little faster with the reduction of the uranium dioxide grain size at the same temperature and the same load. At the same temperature, the logarithmic value of the steady creep rate vs stress has linear relation, and with increasing load, the steady creep rate of the sintered uranium dioxide pellet increases. Under the same load, the steady creep rate of the sintered uranium dioxide pellet increases with increasing temperature; and the creep rates of sintered uranium dioxide pellet with the grain size of 9.0 μm and 23.8 μm under 10 MPa are almost the same. The creep process is controlled both by Nabarro--Herring creep and Hamper-Dorn creep for uranium dioxide pellet with grain size of 9.0 μm, while Hamper---Dora creep is the dominantmechanism for uranium dioxide with grain size of 23.8 μm.

Filtering algorithm and direction identification in relative position estimation based on induction loop-cable

A filtering algorithm and direction identification method are presented for the positioning system of the mid-speed maglev train. Considering the special structure of the mid-speed maglev train, the ground position estimation method is adopted for its traction system. As the train is running, the induction loop-cable receives the signal sent by the on-board antenna to detect the position and direction of the train. But the height of the on-board antenna relative to the loop-cable is highly vulnerable to the change of the suspension height and the magnetic field produced by the traction during traveling, which may lead to amplitude fluctuation of the received signal. Consequently, the position estimation may be inaccurate. Therefore, a discrete second-order nonlinear trackdifferentiator is proposed based on the boundary characteristic curves, and the new differentiator could also extract the running direction of the train for the traction system. The experimental results show that the tracking differentiator can effectively filter out the signal interference and can provide accurate direction signal.

Characteristics of Amorphous Silicon Nitride Films Deposited by LF-PECVD from SiH_4/N_2

Amorphous silicon nitride films were deposited by low-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition（LF-PECVD） using silane and nitrogen as precursors. Characteristics such as deposition rate, surface morphology, and chemical composition were measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry（SE）, atomic force mieroscope（AFM） and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. It was shown that amorphous silicon nitride film could be prepared by LF-PECVD with good uniformity and even surface. The XPS result indicated that a small quantity of oxygen was involved in the sample, which was discussed in this paper.

Prediction of Hub Corner Stall Characteristics of a Highly Loaded Low Speed Single Stage Fan

In this paper a numerical investigation has been presented on the stall mechanism of a highly loaded Single Stage Low Speed Fan designed for the research test facility to be installed at North Western Polytechnic University (NWPU) Xi’an, China. The results presented are for the design point, near stall and just stall operating conditions at design speed. Design point studies have been found to be an indicative of stall area. Unsteady method of domain scaling has been used to compute the results at near stall and just stall conditions. It has been found that unlike the conventional tip leakage flow of the rotor, stator hub section is mainly responsible for the stall of the fan. The flow mechanism has been discussed with correlation to the design variables and previous investigations. Commercial CFD code NUMECA FINE/Turbo has been used for computations; results have been compared with results obtained from commercial CFD code ANSYS-CFX. The loss prediction of latter code is conservative than the former. The stall mechanism predicted by both codes is analogous.

Regional differences of urbanization in China and its driving factors

After more than 30 years of rapid urbanization, the overall urbanization rate of China reached 56.1% in 2015.However, despite China's rapid increase in its overall rate of urbanization, clear regional differences can be observed. Furthermore, inadequate research has been devoted to in-depth exploration of the regional differences in China's urbanization from a national perspective, as well as the internal factors that drive these differences. Using prefecture-level administrative units in China as the main research subject, this study illustrates the regional differences in urbanization by categorizing the divisions into four types based on their urbanization ratio and speed(high level: low speed; high level: high speed; low level: high speed; and low level: low speed). Next, we selected seven economic and geographic indicators and applied an ordered logit model to explore the driving factors of the regional differences in urbanization. A multiple linear regression model was then adopted to analyze the different impacts of these driving factors on regions with different urbanization types. The results showed that the regional differences in urbanization were significantly correlated to per capita GDP, industry location quotients, urban-rural income ratio,and time distance to major centers. In addition, with each type of urbanization, these factors were found to have a different driving effect. Specifically, the driving effect of per capita GDP and industry location quotients presented a marginally decreasing trend, while main road density appeared to have a more significant impact on cities with lower urbanization rates.

An in-plane low-noise accelerometer fabricated with an improved process flow

We present a bulk micromachined in-plane capacitive accelerometer fabricated with an improved process flow,by etching only one-fifth of the wafer thickness at the back of the silicon while forming the bar-structure electrode for the sensing capacitor.The improved flow greatly lowers the footing effect during deep reactive ion etching(DRIE),and increases the proof mass by 54% compared to the traditional way,resulting in both improved device quality and a higher yield rate.Acceleration in the X direction is sensed capacitively by varying the overlapped area of a differential capacitor pair,which eliminates the nonlinear behavior by fixing the parallel-plate gap.The damping coefficient of the sensing motion is low due to the slide-film damping.A large proof mass is made using DRIE,which also ensures that dimensions of the spring beams in the Y and Z directions can be made large to lower cross axis coupling and increase the pull-in voltage.The theoretical Brownian noise floor is 0.47 μg/Hz1/2 at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.The tested frequency response of a prototype complies with the low damping design scheme.Output data for input acceleration from ?1 g to 1 g are recorded by a digital multimeter and show very good linearity.The tested random bias of the prototype is 130 μg at an averaging time of around 6 s.

Kutta-Joukowski force expression for viscous flow

The Kutta Joukowski(KJ) theorem, relating the lift of an airfoil to circulation, was widely accepted for predicting the lift of viscous high Reynolds number flow without separation. However, this theorem was only proved for inviscid flow and it is thus of academic importance to see whether there is a viscous equivalent of this theorem. For lower Reynolds number flow around objects of small size, it is difficult to measure the lift force directly and it is thus convenient to measure the velocity flow field solely and then, if possible, relate the lift to the circulation in a similar way as for the inviscid KJ theorem. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevant conditions under which a viscous equivalent of the KJ theorem exists that reduces to the inviscid KJ theorem for high Reynolds number viscous flow and remains correct for low Reynolds number steady flow. It has been shown that if the lift is expressed as a linear function of the circulation as in the classical KJ theorem, then the freestream velocity must be corrected by a component called mean deficit velocity resulting from the wake. This correction is small only when the Reynolds number is relatively large. Moreover, the circulation, defined along a loop containing the boundary layer and a part of the wake, is generally smaller than that based on inviscid flow assumption. For unsteady viscous flow, there is an inevitable additional correction due to unsteadiness.
