In addition, its friction and wear behaviors relative to the physical vapor deposition (PVD) TiN coating were investigated. The results show that the TiCN coating features a thickness of 15μm with a primary phase of TiC 0.3 N 0.7 . The wear rates of the two coatings have no clear distinction at low applied loads. However, severe abrasive wear appears in the PVD TiN coating when the applied load exceeds 30 N, while the TiCN coating features better wear resistance. The abrasive wear with coating peelings is found to be the predominant wear mechanism at high applied loads.展开更多

Fulvic acid discharge plasma can remove and produce no production of solution was treated by high voltage pulse discharge plasma in this paper. It was shown that: for the reason of thermolysis and oxidation, the pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of solution decreased gradually with the increase of peak voltage and fulvic acid solution concentration, meanwhile the temperature and turbidity of solution increased gradually. Adding hydrochlorid acid in the treatment could amplify the effect of plasma. When the concentration of NOM as the surrogate parameter, Ultraviolet Absorbancy Degree (UV254) increased slowly by the effect of plasma, while the degradation of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was first-order reaction. The removal rate of TOC increased from 22.6% to 33.4% by high voltage pulse electrical field of 35 kv, and from 25.6% to 36.7% with the addition of hydrochlorid acid. This paper may provide some basis for the scale-up design of water treatment process by high voltage pulse discharge plasma with other technologies.展开更多

The accuracy is significantly reduced by the interference in the partial discharge on-site detection or on-line monitoring, especially by the pulse interference. This paper studies the phase correlation of some types of typical partial discharge pulses and their characteristics in time domain and frequency domain. By collecting enough partial discharge pulse data, the correlation coefficient can be calculated based on both phase correlation and waveform similarity. The type of pulse will be determined by the scope of the calculated correlation coefficient. The pulses with very strong correlation will be identified as periodic pulse interference. The pulses with very weak correlation will be identified as random pulse interference. Only the pulses whose correlation coefficients fall into a specific range will be identified as partial discharge signals. In laboratory, simulated pulse interference is injected into measurement circuit, and typical partial discharge pulses are sampled by a high-speed acquisition system. The pulse interference can be effectively separated from partial discharge signals by correlation coefficient.展开更多

Only two types of lasers are actively considered to be used in forming high-conductivity channels in atmosphere, controlled by laser spark: pulsed sub-microsecond gas and chemical lasers (CO2, DF (deuterium fluoride)), short pulse solid-state and UV (ultraviolet) lasers. Main advantage of short pulse lasers is their ability in forming of super long ionized channels with a characteristic diameter of- 100 mm in atmosphere along the beam propagation direction. At estimated electron densities below 1,016 cm3 in these filaments and laser wavelengths in the range of 0.5-1.0 mm, the plasma barely absorbs laser radiation. In this case, the length of the track composed of many filaments is determined by the laser intensity and may reach many kilometers at a femtosecond pulse energy of-100 mJ. However, these lasers could not be used to form high-conductivity long channels in atmosphere. The ohmic resistance of this type a conducting channels turned out to be very high, and the gas in the channels could not be strongly heated (〈 1 J). An electric breakdown controlled by radiation of femtosecond solid-state laser was implemented in only at a length of 3 m with a voltage of 2 MV across the discharge gap (670 kV/m). Not so long ago scientific group from P.N. Lebedev physical institute has improved that result, the discharge gap (-1m) had been broken under KrF laser irradiation when switching high-voltage (up to 390 kV/m) electric discharge by 100-ns UV pulses. Our previous result -16 m long conducting channel controlled by a laser spark at the voltage -3 MV was obtained more than 20 years ago in Russia and Japan by using pulsed CO2 laser with energy -0.5 kJ. An average electric field strength was 〈 190 kV/m. It is still too much for efficient applications.展开更多

The COMSOL Multiphysics package was used to numerically simulate the effect of ore compositions in this study. Regarding phosphate ore particles shape and composition, the effects of mineral composition, particle size, particle shape and electrodes distance were investigated on the electrical field intensity and distribution. The results show that the induced electrical field is significantly dependent on the electrical properties of minerals,the feed particle size and the location of conductive minerals in ores. The angle of material contact surface with the discharge electrode is also an important factor in the intensity of electrical field. Moreover,it is found that the specific liberation effect at the disintegration of phosphate ore by electrical pulses is due to the locality of the electrical field at the interface of mineral components of the phosphate ore aggregates with different permittivities. However, the intensity of the electrical field increases with sharpening the contact angle. Besides, the electrical discharge in the samples is converted to the electrohydraulic discharge across the surrounding water by changing the distance between the discharge electrode and sample surface.展开更多

The pulse function having adequately chosen parameters is applied in lightning discharge modeling for lightning electromagnetic field calculation, and the results are in agreement with the results from literature. The choice of function parameters is based on their influence on the pulse waveshape which is presented in the paper. Numerical results for the Fourier transform are presented for different usually used pulse functions. The advantages of this function are simple choice of its parameters according to the desired waveshape characteristics and analytical solutions useful in lightning discharge modeling, electromagnetic field computation and induced effects calculations.展开更多

Several techniques are utilized to improve the performance of the PLL which works at the milli- meter-wave band. The on-chip high-Q eoplanar waveguides (CPWs) are utilized in the resonant tank and the differential current amplifier with a resonator is used to realize the VCO. In the output buffer circuit, several stages of cascaded source-followers connect and differential amplifiers are adopted to improve the driving capability of the PLL' s output signals. An improved analog multiplier topology is also used in the PD circuit to improve the gain of the PD. The proposed PLL is realized with a 0.2p, m GaAs pseudomorphie high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) process. At 10 kHz offset from the center frequency, the measured output phase noise of the PLL output is only -88.83dBc/Hz. The circuit exhibits a low root mean sauare (RMS) litter of 1.68Ds.展开更多

文摘A Monolithic integrated phase locked-loop (PLL) with a low phase noise is proposed in this paper. Several techniques are utilized to improve the performance of the PLL which works at the milli- meter-wave band. The on-chip high-Q eoplanar waveguides (CPWs) are utilized in the resonant tank and the differential current amplifier with a resonator is used to realize the VCO. In the output buffer circuit, several stages of cascaded source-followers connect and differential amplifiers are adopted to improve the driving capability of the PLL' s output signals. An improved analog multiplier topology is also used in the PD circuit to improve the gain of the PD. The proposed PLL is realized with a 0.2p, m GaAs pseudomorphie high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) process. At 10 kHz offset from the center frequency, the measured output phase noise of the PLL output is only -88.83dBc/Hz. The circuit exhibits a low root mean sauare (RMS) litter of 1.68Ds.
