The adsorption dynamics of Cefoselis hydrochloride(CFH) on XR 920 C adsorbent in fixed bed was predicted by the model of modified film-pore diffusion(MFPD). The intraparticle diffusion equation and mass balance equation in fixed bed are discretized into two ordinary differential equations(ODEs) using the method of orthogonal collocation which largely improves the calculation accuracy. The MFPD model parameters including the pore diffusion coefficient(Dp), external mass-transfer coefficient(kf), and the axial dispersion(DL) were estimated. The kfvalue was calculated by the Carberry equation, in which the effective diffusion coefficient Dewas fitted based on Crank Model through experimental data. Moreover, three key operating parameters(i.e., initial adsorbate concentration; flow rate of import feed, and bed height of adsorbent) and the corresponded breakthrough curves were systematically studied and optimized. Therefore,this research not only provides valuable experimental data, but also a successfully mathematical model for designing the continuous chromatographic adsorption process of CFH.展开更多

Numerical modeling is one approach to obtain such a prediction. Predictions of groundwater fluxes can be used to determine fluxes of other materials such as salt and nutrients. In this paper an analytical model is developed to predict the flow of groundwater from mangrove forest to the creek. The model uses the geometry and hydraulic conductivity of the mangrove forest sediment, which is inundated by tidal water from day zero to day five, with the flux ranged from 0.026 to 0.007 m^3/(m^2.day) with the average error is about 10%. The solution for the groundwater flow is written in terms of an analytic series solution, based on two dimensional potential flow. The approach is basically to solve the hydraulic potential flow for steady state conditions using the Laplace equation. The advantages of this method are that it is simple but accurate, and the error in the computation can be readily calculated. The result of this model is then compared to the result of the field measurement from also day zero to day five after inundation, which ranged from 0.030 to 0.013 m3/(m2.day) with the average error is about 40%. From the above results, it is concluded that the series solution model can be used to calculate the flux of the groundwater, especially in the mangrove forest area.展开更多

The patterns of B. gymnorrhiza populations could be thought of as fractals as they exhibit self-similarity within the range of scale considered. Their fractal dimensions are not integer but fractional, ranging from 1.04 to 1.51. The unoccupied dimensions change from 0.49 to 0.96. The combined conditions of population density, pattern type and aggregation intensity together influence the values of fractal dimensions of patterns. The box counting is a useful and efficient method to investigate the complexity of patterns. Fractal dimension may be a most desirable and appropriate index for quantifying the horizontal spatial microstructure and fractal behaviors of patterns over a certain range of scales.展开更多

The simulation study was performed for CFRP with 40% mass resin content. It was shown that, curing enthalpy of PN resin must be less than 600 J/g to avoid uncontrolled heat emission causing destruction of composite sample.展开更多

The approach for building the EPON 862/DETDA structures, cross-linking, and equilibration of the systems, and the evaluation of the models are presented. The mechanical properties such as Young's and shear moduli, Poisson ratio, and yields strength as well as thermal properties such as glass transition temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion are predicted. The results are in close agreement with both experimental data and simulated results in literature.展开更多

Based on rectangular dislocation theory in an elastic-viscoelastic layered medium, we have simulated the co- seismic deformation and gravity change with gravitational effect considered. The pictures show that the absolute gravity measuring point is beside the extremum of coseismic gravity change, and the numerical value reaches 25.02 x 10-Sm. s-2. After a discussion about the gravity changes before the earthquake and the coherence consistency between two FG-5 absolute gravimeters, we think that the measured value 27.2 × 10^-8 m· s^-2 at Yushu station is coseismic gravity change. It's coincident with the simulation results based on dislocation theory. Therefore it is a good tool to test the near-field changes found by dislocation theory.展开更多
