Yield of CO is measured by using the characteristic detector of coal oxidation at 30-90 ℃. The impact of parameters, such as airflow and particle size, on activation energies is analyzed. Finally, agreement was obtained between activation energies and the dynamic oxygen absorbed in order to test the accuracy of the model. The results show that: 1) a positive exponential relation between concentration of CO and temperature in the process of the experiment is obtained: increases are almost identical and the initial CO is low; 2) the apparent activation energies increase gradually with the sizes of particle at the same airflow, but the gradients increase at a decreasing rate; 3) the apparent activation energies increase linearly with airflow. For the five coal particles, the differences among the energies are relatively high when the airflow was low, but the differences were low when the airflow was high; 4) the optimum sizes of particle, 0.125-0.25 ram, and the optimum volume of airflow, 100 mL/min, are determined from the model; 5) the apparent activation energies decrease with an increase in oxygen absorbed. A negative exponential relation between the two is obtained,展开更多

This is based on standardized lab-scale cell experiments for the determination of droplet rise, breakage, coalescence and mass transfer parameters in addition to a limited number of additional mini-plant experiments with original fluids. Alternatively, the hydrodynamic parameters can also be derived using more sophisticated 3- D CFD simulations. Computational 1-D modeling served as a basis to replace pilot-plant experiments in any column geometry. The combination of 3-D CFD simulations with droplet population balance models (DPBM) increased the accuracy of the hydrodynamic simulations and gave information about the local droplet size. The high computational costs can be reduced by open source CFD codes when using a flexible mesh generation. First combined simulations using a three way coupled CFD/DPBM/mass-transfer solver pave the way for a safer design of industrial-sized columns, where no correlations are available.展开更多

However,uniform formulas remain elusive—even for more basic invariants such as the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension or the Bernstein degree, and are usually limited to families of representations in a dual pair setting. We use earlier work by Joseph to provide an elementary and intrinsic proof of a uniform formula for the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of an arbitrary unitary highest weight module in terms of its highest weight. The formula generalizes a result of Enright and Willenbring(in the dual pair setting) and is inspired by Wang's formula for the dimension of a minimal nilpotent orbit.展开更多

Then a method is developed to measure one and two dimensional (1D and 2D) chloride ion concentrations at different distances from the surface of concrete under flexural stress. Using this method and the preloading frame, 1D and 2D stress-diffusion is systematically investigated for fly ash concretes made with different fly ash contents (0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, and 60%), and water to binder ratios (0.3, 0.35, and 0.4). The stress accelerating effect on 1D and 2D chloride ion diffusion is also quantitatively analyzed through a comparison between stress-diffusion and nonstress-diffusion. A diffusion accelerating effect caused by external flexural stress can clearly be observed through the comparison. In order to quantify the stress accelerating effect, a stress accelerating factor is proposed in this paper. The relationship between stress accelerating factor and external stress-to-ultimate stress ratio is given as an exponential function. Finally, the process of the initiation, prorogation, and distribution of microcracks on the tensile face of specimen is observed in-situ by using a small-sized loading frame and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The above research provides an insight into chloride attack on the edge reinforcing bars of concrete structures under flexural stress, such as large-span beam and board in the field of civil engineering.展开更多

By changing the sizes of SiO_2 microspheres, a series of HFC microspheres with variable cavity sizes were obtained to study the relationship between cavity size and microwave absorbing(MA) performance for the first time. The morphology and structure of samples were characterized in detail. The results showed that the MA performance of HFC sample depended on its cavity size. In particular, the hollow structure was good for improving MA performance and could make MA move to the high-frequency region. More importantly, as the cavity size increases, the resonance frequency of HFC-i(i=1,2, 3, 4) samples moved to a low frequency, and the optimal matching thickness of HFC-i samples was increasing. Among all HFC-i samples, HFC-3 showed the most excellent MA performance,which could be mainly explained by the quarter-wavelength matching model, intrinsical magnetic and dielectric loss. Furthermore,the MA performance of HFC mixture blended by the equal mass fraction of HFC-2, HFC-3 and HFC-4 was the comprehensive results of three HFC-i samples. All the above suggested that the cavity size in HFC sample had a great influence on the MA performance.展开更多

However, the CO2 reduction reaction(CO2 RR) is limited by the high overpotential, slow kinetics and the accompanied side reaction of hydrogen evolution reaction. Au nanocatalysts exhibit high activity and selectivity toward the reduction of CO2 into CO. Here, we explore the Faradaic efficiency(FE)of CO2 RR catalyzed by 50 nm gold colloid and trisoctahedron. It is found that the maximum FE for CO formation on Au trisoctahedron reaches 88.80% at -0.6 V, which is 1.5 times as high as that on Au colloids(59.04% at -0.7 V). The particle-size effect of Au trisoctahedron has also been investigated, showing that the FE for CO decreases almost linearly to 62.13% when the particle diameter increases to 100 nm. The Xray diffraction characterizations together with the computational hydrogen electrode(CHE) analyses reveal that the(2 2 1) facets on Au trisoctahedron are more feasible than the(1 1 1) facets on Au colloids in stabilizing the critical intermediate COOH*, which are responsible for the higher FE and lower overpotential observed on Au trisoctahedron.展开更多

Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles calculations were conducted on face-centered cubic Au films with the focus on relaxation induced nonlinear initial deformation. The simu- lation results verify the theoretical predictions of the size dependency of surface energy density and surface stress, and the non- linear scaling law of the size-dependent Young's modulus of thin films. The mechanism of the size-dependent behaviors was further explored at the atomic bonding level with the charge density field. The Au atomic bonding at surfaces is enhanced compared to its interior counterpart and therefore the nominal Young's modulus of the Au thin films is larger when the film thickness is smaller.surface elasticity,展开更多
