Thus, investigating the corrosion behavior of copper is of great significance. The effects of rotating electromagnetic field on corrosion behavior of T2 copper in 3.5% sodium chloride solution with electrochemical measurements were investigated. The results showed that rotating electromagnetic field changed properties of 3.5% sodium chloride solution by increasing the values of temperature and pH and decreasing the values of conductivity and dissolved oxygen. The rotating electromagnetic field improved the corrosion resistance of T2 copper. The corrosion products of T2 copper in treated 3.5% sodium chloride solution were composed of Cu20 and CuCl. The low corrosion rate of T2 copper was resulted from the decrease of dissolved oxygen in 3.5% sodium chloride solution treated by rotating electromagnetic field.展开更多

Aiming at this problem, a general quantum search algorithm with small phase rotations is proposed. Several quantum search algorithms can be derived from this algorithm according to different phase rotations. When the size of phase rotations are fixed at 0. 01π, the success probability of at least 99. 99% can be obtained in 0(√N/M) iterations.展开更多

Specimens were shear spun on an industrial spinning machine using different mandrels, providing reductions of wall thickness of 30%, 50% and 68%. The grain structure developed during shear spinning refines gradually. The grains elongate in axial direction with increase of reduction, and also stretches along circumferencial direction. Optimal combination of strength and elongation is observed. This is attributed to grain refinement and dislocation reactions with particles and atoms of Mg and Mn in solid solution.展开更多

Kinematic viscosity and shear stress are two of the most important physical behaviours of fluids, especially lubricating fluids. In this paper the authors have focused on engine oil. Knowledge of these properties of engine oil is very important due to its lifetime. The experiments have been done using digital rotary rheometer Anton Paar DV-3 P with use of TR8 spindle and special adapter for a small amount of sample (20 mL). Two different engine oils have been observed--first from passenger car Renault Scenic with petrol engine (engine capacity 1.6 dm3) and the second from passenger car Skoda Roomster with diesel engine (engine capacity 1.4 dm3). Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 engine oil has been taken from Renault car and Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30 engine oil has been taken from ~koda car. Service interval of change oil has been set to 15,000 km and samples of used engine oils have been taken after 1,500 km. Only first samples of used engine oils have been taken after raid of 20 km. All samples of used engine oils have been compared with new (unused) engine oils same specification. The measured values of kinematic viscosity and shear stress have been modeled using linear function. The coefficients of correlation R have been achieved high values (0.88-0.96). The obtained models can be used to prediction of engine oil flow behaviour.展开更多

Staircase design exerts a great influence on the aesthetics, transportation efficiency, user comfort and experience level. In this paper, a survey on the staircase rotation preference was conducted, based on the environment behavior studies. Different user frequencies of a pair of scissors stairs in the 2nd teaching building of North China University of Technology were analyzed. The psychological effect was evaluated and quantified, and the user preference on the two staircase rotations was then withdrawn. The survey found that the type of staircase with clockwise upstairs was much more preferred (78%) than the other staircase rotation anti-clock upstairs. Considering different genders, the female shows a 66% higher preference inclination of this type of staircase rotation than the male. To improve the transportation efficiency of the staircase in case of fire, the result of this paper can be very constructive for the evacuation staircase rotation choice for the high-rise buildings.展开更多

A total of four instrumentation systems were tested including CDH (CD Horizon), USS (Universal Spine System pedicle screw), Tenor (Sofamor Denek) and expansive pedicle screw (EPS). Pullout and turning-back tests were performed to compare the holding strength of the expansive pedicle screw with conventional screws, i.e. USS, CDH and Tenor. Revision tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of the expansive pedicle screw as a ”rescue” revision screw. A fatigue simulation using perpendicular load up to 1 500 000 cycles was carried out.Results: The turning back torque (Tmax) and pull-out force (Fmax) of EPS were significantly greater than those of USS, Tenor and CDH screws ( 6.5 mm×40 mm). In revision tests, the Fmax of both kinds of EPS ( 6.5 mm×40 mm; 7.0 mm×40 mm) were greater than that of CDH, USS and Tenor screws significantly (P< 0.05). No screws were broken or bent at the end of fatigue tests.Conclusions: EPS can significantly improve the bone purchase and the pull-out strength compared to USS, Tenor and CDH screws with similar dimensions before and after failure simulation. The fatigue characteristic of EPS is similar to that of CDH, USS and Tenor screws.展开更多

The main feature of the test compressor is a capacity tank connected di- rectly to the compressor outlet in series through slits and a concentric duplex pipe, and also jet nozzles in order to inject compressed air toward the rotor tip region. Research attention is focused on the post-stall characteristics of surge and rotating stall which occur simultaneously. When the compressor was connected to the capacity tank, surge was generated with rotating stall in accordance with the capacitance increment of whole compressor system The surge behavior changed irregularly with throttling valve installed behind the compressor, and several types of surge cycles were observed. In addition, the surge cycle changed by jet injection to the rotor tip region. The re- suits suggested that the blockages of the cascade flow which were generated by a stall cell play an important role in deciding the surge behaviors.展开更多

Major astrophysical observations demonstrate that nonthermal electrons frequently have a negative power-law spectrum with a lower energy cutoff and anisotropic distribution in the velocity space. In this paper, the effects of power-law spectrum behaviors of electrons on a ring-beam maser emission are considered. The results show that the growth rates of O1 and X2 modes decrease rapidly for small A (the dispersion of momentum u). Because of the lower energy cutoff behavior, the nonthermal electrons with large a still can excite the ECM instability efficiently. The present analysis also includes the effects of parameter β (βu0 is the dispersion of perpendicular momentum ui, u0 the average value of u) on the instability. The growth rate of X2 mode decreases with parameter v0 (v0 = u⊥o/uo, U⊥0 is the average value of u⊥). But for O1 mode, the relationship between the growth rate and v0 is complicated. It also shows that the growth rates are very sensitive to frequency ratio Ω (frequency ratio of electron cyclotron frequency to plasma frequency).展开更多

The linear beam-beam force introduces an additional quadrupole that perturbs betatron motion of particles, including dynamic β, dynamic emittance and beam-beam tune-shifts; while the nonlinear force may excite resonances and cause tune-spread. With the weak-strong beam-beam mode, the linear and nonlinear effects are studied, dynamic βand dy- namic emittance as functions of tunes are analyzed, and formulas of beam-beam octupole caused tune-spread are derived, starting from beam-beam potential and equations of particle motions, and the measures to increase luminosity of BEPCII are discussed.展开更多
