Zero-voltage switching converter absorbing parasitic parameters for super high frequency induction heating

This paper presents a novel mega-Hz-level super high frequency zero-voltage soft-switching converter for induction heating power supplies. The prominent advantage of this topology is that it can absorb both inductive and capacitive parasitic components in the converter. The switch devices operate in a zero-voltage soft-switching mode. Consequently, the high voltage and high current spikes caused by parasitic inductors or capacitors oscillation do not occur in this circuit, and the high power loss caused by high frequency switching can be greatly reduced. A large value inductor is adopted between the input capacitor and the switches, thus, this novel converter shares the benefits of both voltage-type and current-type circuits simultaneously, and there are no needs of dead time between two switches. The working principles in different modes are introduced. Results of simulation and experiments operated at around 1 MHz frequency verify the validity of parasitic components absorption and show that this convener is competent for super high frequency applications.

Direct Observation of Electron-Vibration Coupling at MXene-Solvent Interface

MXenes,a new family of two-dimensional(2D)materials,have received extensive interest due to their fascinating physicochemical properties,such as outstandinglight-to-heat conversion efficiency.However,the photothermal conversion mechanism of MXenes is still poorly understood.Here,by using femtosecond visible and mid-infrared transient absorption spectroscopy,the electronic energy dissipation dynamics of MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))nanosheets dispersed in various solvents are carefully studied.Our results indicate that the lifetime of photoexcited MXene is strongly dependent on the surrounding environment.Especially,the interfacial electron-vibration coupling between the MXene nanosheets and the adjacent solvent molecules is directly observed following the ultrafast photoexcitation of MXene.It suggests that the interfacial interactions at the MXene-solvent interface play a critical role in the ultrafast energy transport dynamics of MXene,which offers a potentially feasible route for tailoring the light conversion properties of 2D systems.

Simulation analysis of static and dynamic characteristics of once-through steam generator in concentric annuli tube

The once-through steam generator (OTSG) in concentric annuli tube is a new type of steam generator which applies double side to transfer heat. The heat flux between the water of centric tube, outside annuli tube and that of annulus channel is assumed to be equal, and then the steam generator’s model is built by lumped parameters with moving boundary. In the basis of the built model, static and dynamic characteristics are analyzed. The static characteristics are proved by experiment results in a 19-tube once-through steam generator of Babcock & Wilcox. The characteristics that the lengths of three regions (subcooled region, nucleate boiling region, superheat region) change with power can be explained by theory analysis. The dynamic characteristics accord with the heat and hydraulics and the results of analysis according to the mechanism.

Multipoint Infrared Telemetry System for Measuring the Piston Temperature in Internal Combustion Engines

A high precision, high antijamming multipoint infrared telemetry system was developed to measure the piston temperature in internal combustion engine. The temperature at the measuring point is converted into corresponding voltage signal by the thermo-couple first. Then after the V/F stage, the voltage signal is converted into the frequency signal to drive the infrared light-emitting diode to transmit infrared pulses. At the receiver end, a photosensitive audion receives the infrared pulses. After conversion, the voltage recorded by the receiver stands for the magnitude of temperature at the measuring point. Test results of the system indicate that the system is practical and the system can perform multipoint looping temperature measurements for the piston.

Numerical Study of Thermoelectric Generation within a Reciprocal Flow Porous Media Burner

A numerical study based on direct thermal to electric energy conversion was performed in a reciprocal flow porous media burner embedded with two layers of thermoelements. The burner lean combustibility limit was sought in order to maximize global efficiency of thermal to electrical energy conversion by minimizing fuel consumption. Once the pairs of operational variables, composition and filtrational velocity of gas inlet mixture were found, the optimal length and placement of thermoelectric elements within the reactor high thermal gradients were sought to maximize the electric current, thermoelements and system overall efficiency. A two temperature-resistance model for finite time thermodynamics was developed for the thermoelectric elements energy fluxes. Results indicate a distribution of current and efficiencies that presents a maximum at different themoelements length. Maximum values for current and system efficiency obtained were 44.3 m A and 2.5%, respectively.

Hydrothermal growth of MoS_2/Co_3S_4 composites as efficient Pt-free counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

MOS2/Co3S4 composite films were prepared via a facile one-step hydrothermal method, and used as efficient and low-cost Pt-free counter electrodes （CEs） for dye-sen- sitized solar cells （DSSCs）. Characterizations revealed that Co3S4 and MoS2 were obtained simultaneously during the facile hydrothermal process. The composites afforded a promising synergistic effect on the catalyzing of triiodide reduction. Enhanced electrocatalytic performance of the resultant composite films was confirmed through cyclic voltammetry （CV） and electrochemical impedance spec- troscopy （EIS） analyses. DSSCs using MoS2/Co3S4 composite CEs outperform the devices with pristine MoS2 or Co3S4 CEs in power conversion efficiency （PCE）. Furthermore, a PCE of 6.77% is obtained for the optimized devices using MoS2/Co3S4 composite CEs measured under standard 1 sun illumination （100 mW cm-2, AM 1.5G）, which is comparable to that of the devices fabricated under the same conditions with conventional thermally deposited Pt CEs （7.14%）. The results demonstrate that MoS2/Co3S4 composites are promis- ing alternatives to Pt to be applied as CEs for DSSCs,

Photogated proton conductivity of ZIF-8 membranes co-modified with graphene quantum dots and polystyrene sulfonate

Smart proton conductive metal-organic framework(MOF) membranes with dynamic remote control over proton conduction show high potential for use in advanced applications, such as sensors and bioprocesses. Here, we report a photoswitchable proton conductive ZIF-8 membrane by coencapsulating polystyrene sulfonate and graphene quantum dots into a ZIF-8 matrix(GQDs-PSS@ZIF-8) via a solidconfined conversion process. The proton conductivity of the GQDs-PSS@ZIF-8 membrane is 6.3 times higher than that of pristine ZIF-8 and can be reversibly switched by light due to photoluminescence quenching and the photothermal conversion effect, which converts light into heat. The local increase in temperature allows water molecules to escape from the porous channels, which cuts off the proton transport pathways and results in a decrease in proton conductivity. The proton conductivity is restored when the light is off owing to regaining water molecules, which act as proton carriers, from the surroundings. The GQDs-PSS@ZIF-8 membrane responds efficiently to light and exhibits an ON/OFF ratio of 12.8. This photogated proton conduction in MOFs has potential for the development and application of MOF-based protonic solids in advanced photoelectric devices.

Flexible thermocells for utilization of body heat

Plastic thermo-electrochemical ceils （thermocells） involving aqueous potassium ferricyanide/ferrocyanide electrolyte have been investigated as an alternative to conventional thermoelectrics for thermal energy harvesting. Plastic thermocells that consist of all pliable materials such as polyethylene terephthalate （PET）, fabrics, and wires are flexible enough to be wearable on the human body and to be wrapped around cylindrical shapes. The performance of the thermocells is enhanced by incorporating carbon nanotubes into activated carbon textiles, due to improved charge transfer at the interface. In cold weather conditions （a surrounding temperature of 5 ℃）, the thermocell generates a short-circuit current density of 0.39 A/m2 and maximum power density of 0.46 mW/m2 from body heat （temperature of 36℃）. For practical use, we have shown that the thermocell charges up a capacitor when worn on a T-shirt by a person. We also have demonstrated that the electrical energy generated from waste pipe heat using a serial array of the thermocells and voltage converters can power a typical commercial light emitting diode （LED）.

Electronic origin of the enhanced thermoelectric efficiency of CuSe

Thermoelectric materials(TMs)can uniquely convert waste heat into electricity,which provides a potential solution for the global energy crisis that is increasingly severe.Bulk Cu2Se,with ionic conductivity of Cu ions,exhibits a significant enhancement of its thermoelectric figure of merit z T by a factor of^3 near its structural transition around 400 K.Here,we show a systematic study of the electronic structure of Cu2Se and its temperature evolution using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.Upon heating across the structural transition,the electronic states near the corner of the Brillouin zone gradually disappear,while the bands near the centre of Brillouin zone shift abruptly towards high binding energies and develop an energy gap.Interestingly,the observed band reconstruction well reproduces the temperature evolution of the Seebeck coefficient of Cu2 Se,providing an electronic origin for the drastic enhancement of the thermoelectric performance near 400 K.The current results not only bridge among structural phase transition,electronic structures and thermoelectric properties in a condensed matter system,but also provide valuable insights into the search and design of new generation of thermoelectric materials.

Characteristic of Local Boiling Heat Transfer of Ammonia and Ammonia/Water Binary Mixture on the Plate Type Evaporator

Power generation using small temperature difference such as ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC)and discharged thermal energy conversion(DTEC)is expected to be the countermeasures against global warming problem.As ammonia and ammonia/water are used in evaporators for OTEC and DTEC as working fluids,the research of their local boiling heat transfer is important for improvement of the power generation efficiency.Measurements of local boiling heat transfer coefficients were performed for ammonia/water mixture(z=0.9-1)on a vertical flat plate heat exchanger in a range of mass flux(7.5-15 kg/m2s),heat flux(15-23 kW/m 2),and pressure(0.7-0.9 MPa).The result shows that in the case of ammonia/water mixture,the local heat transfer coefficients increase with an increase of mass flux and composition of ammonia,and decrease with an increase of heat flux.
