Based on this technique, a new-type jet-flow pyrolysis reactor was designed, and then the fluid dynamics (pressure and velocity) inside the reactor was numerically simulated using a computational fluid dynamics method. The self-produced pressure (p) and the fuel inlet velocity (v) satisfied a quadratic function,p=0.06v2+0.23v?4.49. To fully utilize the combustion-generated heat in pyrolysis of rare earth chloride, an appropriate external pressure p=v2+3v?4.27 should be imposed at the feed inlet. The 1.25- and 1.5-fold increase of feed inlet diameter resulted in decline of adsorption dynamic pressure, but the intake of rare earth chloride increased by more than 30% and 60%, respectively. The fluid flow in the reactor was affected by the feeding rate; the fluid flow peaked near the throat of venturi and gradually smoothed down at the jet-flow reactor’s terminal along with the sharp decline of feeding rate.展开更多

Particulate nitrogen concentrations were positively correlated with the concentrations of suspended solids, primarily from surface erosion related to the shear stress and duration of wave action. In response to 4 cm- and 10 cm-high wave production representing waves generated in Taihu Lake by gentle and gusty winds, respectively, the mean dynamic release rate of ammonium (NH4+) from the sediment to the overlying water was 1 × 10-3 mg/(m2.s) and the NH4+ concentration in the overlying water increased by 0.016 mg/L, indicating that waves resulting from strong wind can induce the rapid release of dissolved nitrogen from Taihu Lake sediments. The decrease in interstitial NH4+ concentrations at all sediment depths was associated with an increase in NH4+ concentrations in the overlying water by 0.01 mg/L, showing that sediment below the eroded layer was the main source of internal nitrogen release. Changes in the interstitial dissolved oxygen and NH4+ concentrations showed that wave-induced pore water movement can greatly increase the diffusion rate, and that these 15 cm. Diffusion induced by pore water movement sediment layer in Taihu Lake. effects can influence the sediment to a depth of at least may be very important for the formation of an active展开更多

As compared to the conventional treatment with accuracy between 1nV and 0. 03mV in the cases with an oxide thickness tox = 1 ~ 10nm and substrate doping concentration Na = 1015 ~ 1018 cm-3 , this method yields an accuracy within about 1pV in all cases. This is comparable to numerical simulations, but does not require trading off much computation efficiency. More importantly, the spikes in the error curve associated with the traditional treatment are eliminated.展开更多

Aside from the conventional method, under consideration are alternative ways purposed for process intensification. In the context of these activities, the method of hightemperature pyrolysis of hydrocarbons in a heat-carrier flow is studied, which differs from previous ones and is based on the ability of an ultra-short time of feedstock/heat-carrier mixing. This enables to study the pyrolysis process at high temperature(up to 1500 K) at the reactor inlet. A set of model experiments is conducted on the lab scale facility. Liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) and naphtha are used as a feedstock. The detailed data are obtained on temperature and product distributions within a wide range of the residence time. A theoretical model based on the detailed kinetics of the process is developed, too. The effect of governing parameters on the pyrolysis process is analyzed by the results of the simulation and experiments. In particular, the optimal temperature is detected which corresponds to the maximum ethylene yield. Product yields in our experiments are compared with the similar ones in the conventional pyrolysis method. In both cases(LPG and naphtha), ethylene selectivity in the fast-mixing reactor is substantially higher than in current technology.展开更多

The analog LDPC decoder, which is an application of the analog computation technology, is considered to have the potential to address this issue to some extent. However, due to the lack of automation tools and analog stopping criteria, the analog LDPC decoders suffer from costly handcraft design and additional decoding delay, and are not feasible to practical applications. To address these issues, a decoder architecture using reusable building blocks is designed to lower the handcraft design, and a probability stopping criterion that is specially designed for analog decoder is further planned and implemented to reduce the decoding delay. Then, a(480,240) CMOS analog LDPC decoder is designed and fabricated in a 0.35-μm CMOS technology. Experimental results show that the decoder prototype can achieve 50 Mbps throughput when the power consumption is about 86.3m W, and the decoding delay can be reduced by at most 93% compared with using the preset maximum decoding delay in existing works.展开更多

The authors have used a fundamentally new approach when studying this famous register. The authors have also analyzed the full-scale financial processes (from registering the expenses of the commune to their coverage by revenue) instead of analyzing some separate transactions which could prove the presence of the double-entry when registering each economic fact. This becomes possible as a result of the reconstruction of medieval entries and registers in the form of a modem account and the construction of the computer model of the whole ledger of 1340. The model of the system is formed according to seven summits of the revenue of the commune, which are distributed upon many factors of registered expenses and united into 17 reporting points. The special attention is paid to the date of the transaction. The authors have found many answers to some questions which were mysteries before. The explanation is given to the sales of goods below the purchasing price and to the exchange of money with significant losses.展开更多

ARX-PLS decoupling character enables to turn the multivariable model predictive control(MPC) controller design in original space into the multi-loop single input single output(SISO) MPC controllers design in latent space.An idea of iterative method is applied to decouple the constraints latent variables in PLS framework and recursive least square is introduced to identify ARX-PLS model. This algorithm is applied to a non-square simulation system and a stirred reactor for ethylene polymerizations comparing with adaptive internal model control(IMC) method based on ARX-PLS framework. Its application has shown that this method outperforms adaptive IMC method based on ARX-PLS framework to some extent.展开更多

An improved Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method based on a cross-correlation filter was proposed for reduction of multipath and noise interference. Multipath interference was first removed by cross-corre- lation filtering. Then the delays of each pulse in every echo were summed. An EMD algorithm was used for noise reduction for the total delay of each echo. The corresponding EMD results of every echo were then summed and averaged. Finally, evidence for the existence of buried life and their position were obtained from amplitude-frequency curves of the averaged EMD results. Detailed simulation experi- ments are presented to validate the effectiveness of this proposed method. The experimental results show that this method can efficiently eliminate multipath interference and reduce noise interference in echoes, which makes detection and location of buried life in coal mines more accurate.展开更多

The analysis focuses on the load-bearing timber roof-structures. There are three sacral objects and one long-span sporting hall presented. The paper tries to introduce the background of difficult refurbishment process. Before the refurbishment, a thorough process of investigation is required This process includes four basic steps. General information about the load-bearing structure is obtained from the geodetic survey that foregoes the process of diagnostic inspection. The diagnostic survey focuses on the defects of the structure, their degree and possible origin. Modem methods of computer modelling help to understand the structural operation and help to find reserves of carrying capacity. Structural analysis should take into account all detected defects and the joint types, which can influence the transfer of forces. The refurbishment project is usually a brief, but clear summary for fulfilling the needs of Monument Board and building process. All the steps require knowledge from different fields and require professional approach.展开更多

Particulate nitrogen concentrations were positively correlated with the concentrations of suspended solids, primarily from surface erosion related to the shear stress and duration of wave action. In response to 4 cm- and 10 cm-high wave production representing waves generated in Taihu Lake by gentle and gusty winds, respectively, the mean dynamic release rate of ammonium (NH4+) from the sediment to the overlying water was 1 × 10-3 mg/(m2.s) and the NH4+ concentration in the overlying water increased by 0.016 mg/L, indicating that waves resulting from strong wind can induce the rapid release of dissolved nitrogen from Taihu Lake sediments. The decrease in interstitial NH4+ concentrations at all sediment depths was associated with an increase in NH4+ concentrations in the overlying water by 0.01 mg/L, showing that sediment below the eroded layer was the main source of internal nitrogen release.

文摘Debris flow often causes enormous loss to life and property,especially on alluvial fans.Engineering structures such as retention check dams are essential to reduce the damage.In hazard mitigation evaluation and planning it is of significance to determine the location,size and type of dam and the effects of damage mitigation.We present a numerical simulation method using Kanako simulator for hazard mitigation planning of debris flow disaster in Tanjutani Gully,Kyoto City,Japan.The simulations were carried out for three situations:1) the simulations of erosion,deposition,hydrograph changing and inundation when there were no mitigation measures;2) the simulations of check dams in four locations(470 m,810 m,1,210 m and 1,610 m from the upstream end) to identify the best location;3) the simulations of check dams of three types(closed,slit and grid) to analyze their effects on sediment trapping and discharge reduction.Based on the simulations,it was concluded that two closed check dams(located at 470 m and 1,610 m from the upstream end) in the channel and a drainage channel on the alluvial fan can reduce the risk on the alluvial fan to an acceptable level.
文摘The paper presents an analysis and a subsequent refurbishment of significant buildings in Slovakia. The analysis focuses on the load-bearing timber roof-structures. There are three sacral objects and one long-span sporting hall presented. The paper tries to introduce the background of difficult refurbishment process. Before the refurbishment, a thorough process of investigation is required This process includes four basic steps. General information about the load-bearing structure is obtained from the geodetic survey that foregoes the process of diagnostic inspection. The diagnostic survey focuses on the defects of the structure, their degree and possible origin. Modem methods of computer modelling help to understand the structural operation and help to find reserves of carrying capacity. Structural analysis should take into account all detected defects and the joint types, which can influence the transfer of forces. The refurbishment project is usually a brief, but clear summary for fulfilling the needs of Monument Board and building process. All the steps require knowledge from different fields and require professional approach.
