A more feasible method is proposed to determine the acceleration length from the measured axial profiles of pressure gradient (or apparent solid holdup). With this new method and large amount of experimental data, a clear picture on the variation of the acceleration length with both solid circulating rate and superficial gas velocity is obtained.It is found that the acceleration length increases generally with increasing solid flow rate and/or decreasing gas velocity. However, the trend in variation of the acceleration length with operating conditions are quite different in different operation ranges. Reasonable explanations are suggested for the observed variation patterns of acceleration length.展开更多

However, when things go wrong such as when the project is abandoned for various reasons, they may create two different scenarios： a contract that is breached and a fixed structure that is left on the land which may constitute an incomplete benefit that is acquired by one of the parties. The transfer of such benefit is initially made with a legal ground, but that ground has since ceased to exist. If some aspect of that benefit cannot be recovered under a contract, enrichment rules may be competent to solve the problem. How to measure the different aspects of that enrichment is however a problem that may have different interpretations according to different conceptions of the foundations of enrichment liability in a particular legal system. This article explores the measures of enrichment in such cases of failed bilateral contracts scenarios working from South African perspective. It argues that in cases of failed bilateral contracts generating an enrichment situation, sanctioning a dual measure of enrichment in a legal system may be an appropriate avenue.展开更多

The Li2Mg0.15Mn0.4Co0.45SiO4/C solid solution with orthorhombic unit cell （space group Pmn21） was synthesized successfully by combination of wet process and solid-state reaction at high temperature, and its electrochemical performance was investigated primarily. Li2Mg0.15Mn0.4Co0.45SiO4/C composite materials deliver a charge capacity of 302 mA-h/g and a discharge capacity of 171 mA.h/g in the first cycle. The discharge capacity is stabilized at about 100 mA-h/g after 10 cycles at a current density of 10 mA/g in the voltage of 1.5-4.8 V vs Li/Li^＋. The results show that Mg-substitution for the Co ions in Li2Mn0.4Co0.6SiO4 improves the stabilization of initial structure and the electrochemical nerformance.展开更多
