Results showed that at 20℃ mass loss of leaf litter driven by microbial decomposers was higher in broadleaf forest than that in coniferous forest, whereas the difference in mass loss of leaf litter was not significant at 30℃. The temperature increase did not affect the mass loss of leaf litter for coniferous forest treatment, but significantly reduced the decomposition rate for broadleaf forest treatment. The functional decomposers of microorganism in broadleaf forest produced a higher lignin decomposition rate at 20℃, compared to that in coniferous forest, but the difference in lignin decomposition was not found between two forest types at 30℃. Improved temperature increased the lignin decomposition for both broadleaf and coniferous forest. Additionally, the functional group of microorganism from broadleaf forest showed marginally higher carbohydrate loss than that from coniferous forest at both temperatures. Temperature increase reduced the carbohydrate decomposition for broadleaf forest, while only a little reduce was found for coniferous forest. Remarkable differences occurred in responses between most enzymes (Phenoloxidase, peroxidase, !5-glucosidase and endocellulase) and decomposition rate of leaf litter to forest type and temperature, although there exist strong relationships between measured enzyme activities and decomposition rate in most cases. The reason is that more than one enzyme contribute to the mass loss of leaf litter and organic chemical components. In conclusion, at a community scale the coniferous and broadleaf forests differed in their temperature-decomposition relationships.展开更多

The Ti-Al coating was fabricated on the surface of electro-deposited nickel layer on copper matrix followed by the slurry pack cementation process. The effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on the microstructures and wear resistance of Ti-Al coating were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the coating changed from NiAl+Ni3(Ti,Al) to NiAl +Ni3(Ti,Al)+Ni4Ti3 to Ni4Ti3+NiAl, and to NiAl+Ni3(Ti,Al)+NiTi with slurry pack cementation temperature ranging from 800 ℃ to 950 ℃ in 12 h. The friction coefficient of Ti-Al coating decreased and the hardness increased with increasing the slurry pack cementation temperature. The minimum friction coefficient was 1/3 and the minimum hardness was 5 times larger than that of pure copper.展开更多

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control method based on an affine nonlinear temperature model is developed to control the temperature of the SOFC within a specified range. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate nonlinear functions in the SOFC system and an adaptive technique is employed to construct the controller. Compared with the traditional fuzzy and proportion-integral-derivative (PID) control, the simulation results show that the designed adaptive fuzzy control method performed much better. So it is feasible to build an adaptive fuzzy controller for temperature control of the SOFC.展开更多

An advantage of zeotropic mixtures is the possibility of reduction in entropy generation by matching the temperature glidings of refrigerant and heat-transfer fluid in both condenser and evaporator. Zeotropic mixtures are compared with pure re-frigerants to evaluate their exergetic losses. On the other hand, the special phenomena which result from temperature gliding are proved by experiments. A simple equation is obtained, to evaluate dif-ferent zeotropic mixtures' exergetic losses. The maximum flow rate of heat-transfer fluids is found in order that refrigerants phase change can be completed. Lastly, some examples of zeotropic mix-tures ( R407C, R405A and R414B) are given, and their exergetic losses and maximum flow rate of heat-transfer fluids in condenser are forecasted.展开更多

The structure of the compound was demonstrated by 1H and 31P NMR. The propylene polymerization catalysts were prepared by incorporating an internal donor, and the content of Ti, H and C in the catalysts was also checked by elemental analysis. The effect of dosage of the donor, the Al/Ti ratio and the polymerization temperature on the catalyst activity were studied, the results suggested that the dosage of donor, the Al/Ti ratio and the polymerization temperature could affect not only the activity of catalyst but also the isotacticity index of the polymer.

The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the crystallization behavior and properties was systematically investigated. XRD patterns revealed that the BZO films had wurtzite structure with a preferential growth orientation along the c-axis. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the particle size and surface roughness of the BZO films increased, suggesting that pyrolysis temperature is the critical factor for determining the crystallization behavior of the BZO films. Moreover, the carrier concentration and the carrier mobility increased with increasing the pyrolysis temperature, and the mean transmittance for every film is over 90% in the visible range.展开更多

It can be used directly in existing diesel engines without any modification. In spite of having so many advantages, it has an issue regarding long-term storage stability. Biodiesel oxidizes when it comes in proximity of light, temperature, humidity, metals etc. The oxidation causes precipitation and sedimentation in the fuel. Such biodiesel is unfit to use in engines. Hence, this study aims to assess the storage stability of pomelo seed oil (Citrus maxima) biodiesel over a period of five months upon storage both in open and closed condition. Storage stability of biodiesel is determined in terms of acid value, peroxide value and viscosity at regular interval of time. It is observed that there is a strong relationship between oxidation and outside factors such as light, temperature fluctuations and humidity level. Upon exposure to these factors, oxidation in biodiesel accelerated greatly.展开更多

The proposed reaction pathways of NO and SO2 removal are discussed. The effects of temperatures (35-90℃), Na25208 (0.05-0.5 mol·L-1), FeSO4 (0.5-5.0 m mol·L-1) and H2O2 (0.25 mol·L-1) on NO and SO2 removal were investigated. The results indicated that increased persulfate concentration led to increase in NO removal at various temperatures. SO2 was almost completely removed in the temperature range of 55-85 ℃. Fe2 + accelerated persulfate activation and enhanced NO removal efficiency. At 0.2 mol· L- 1 Na2S2O8 and 0.5-1.0 mmol· L-1Fe2 +, NO removal of 93.5%-99% was obtained at 75-90 ℃, SO2 removal was higher than 99% at all temperatures. The addition of 0.25 mol. L i H202 into 0.2 mol·L-1· Na2S2O8 solution promoted NO removal efficiency apparently until utterly decomposition of H2O2, the SO2 removal was as high as 98.4% separately at 35 ℃ and 80 ℃.展开更多

文摘A series of both unsupported and coal‐supported iron–oxygen compounds with gradual changes in microstructure were synthesized by a precipitation‐oxidation process at 20 to 70°C.The relationship between the microstructures and catalytic activities of these precursors during direct coal liquefaction was studied.The results show that the microstructure could be controlled through adjusting the synthesis temperature during the precipitation‐oxidation procedure,and that compounds synthesized at lower temperatures exhibit higher catalytic activity.As a result of their higher proportions ofγ‐FeOOH orα‐FeOOH crystalline phases,the unsupported iron–oxygen compounds synthesized at 20–30°C,which also had high specific surface areas and moisture levels,generate oil yields 4.5%–4.6%higher than those obtained with precursors synthesized at 70°C.It was also determined that higher oil yields were obtained when the catalytically‐active phase formed by the precursors during liquefaction(pyrrhotite,Fe1-xS)had smaller crystallites.Feed coal added as a carrier was found to efficiently disperse the active precursors,which in turn significantly improved the catalytic activity during coal liquefaction.
文摘The operating temperature of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is a very important parameter to be controlled, which impacts the performance of the SOFC due to thermal cycling. In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control method based on an affine nonlinear temperature model is developed to control the temperature of the SOFC within a specified range. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate nonlinear functions in the SOFC system and an adaptive technique is employed to construct the controller. Compared with the traditional fuzzy and proportion-integral-derivative (PID) control, the simulation results show that the designed adaptive fuzzy control method performed much better. So it is feasible to build an adaptive fuzzy controller for temperature control of the SOFC.

文摘A P-substituted sulfonyl-containing compound was synthesized in the lab. The structure of the compound was demonstrated by 1H and 31P NMR. The propylene polymerization catalysts were prepared by incorporating an internal donor, and the content of Ti, H and C in the catalysts was also checked by elemental analysis. The effect of dosage of the donor, the Al/Ti ratio and the polymerization temperature on the catalyst activity were studied, the results suggested that the dosage of donor, the Al/Ti ratio and the polymerization temperature could affect not only the activity of catalyst but also the isotacticity index of the polymer. A catalyst with high activity was selected, and the polypropylene formed in the presence of this catalyst had high isotacticity index.
文摘Boron-doped zinc oxide transparent (BZO) films were prepared by sol-gel method. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the crystallization behavior and properties was systematically investigated. XRD patterns revealed that the BZO films had wurtzite structure with a preferential growth orientation along the c-axis. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the particle size and surface roughness of the BZO films increased, suggesting that pyrolysis temperature is the critical factor for determining the crystallization behavior of the BZO films. Moreover, the carrier concentration and the carrier mobility increased with increasing the pyrolysis temperature, and the mean transmittance for every film is over 90% in the visible range.
文摘Biodiesel is a biomass-based renewable and clean fuel. It can be used directly in existing diesel engines without any modification. In spite of having so many advantages, it has an issue regarding long-term storage stability. Biodiesel oxidizes when it comes in proximity of light, temperature, humidity, metals etc. The oxidation causes precipitation and sedimentation in the fuel. Such biodiesel is unfit to use in engines. Hence, this study aims to assess the storage stability of pomelo seed oil (Citrus maxima) biodiesel over a period of five months upon storage both in open and closed condition. Storage stability of biodiesel is determined in terms of acid value, peroxide value and viscosity at regular interval of time. It is observed that there is a strong relationship between oxidation and outside factors such as light, temperature fluctuations and humidity level. Upon exposure to these factors, oxidation in biodiesel accelerated greatly.

文摘The heterogeneous multilayer interface of VN/Ag coatings and transition multilayer interface of VN/Ag coatings were prepared on Inconel 781 and Si(100),and the microstructures,mechanical and tribological properties were investigated from 25 to 700℃.The results showed that the surface roughness and average grain size of VN/Ag coatings with transition multilayer interface are obviously larger than those of VN/Ag coatings with heterogeneous multilayer interface.The coatings with transition multilayer interface have higher adhesion force and hardness than the coatings with heterogeneous multilayer interface,and both coatings can effectively restrict the initiation and propagation of microcracks.Both coatings have excellent self-adaptive lubricating properties with a decrease of friction coefficient as the temperature increases,but their wear rates reveal a drastic increase.The phase composition of the worn area of both coatings was investigated,which indicates that a smooth Ag,Magnéli phase(V2O5)and bimetallic oxides(Ag3VO4 and AgVO3)can be responsible to the excellent lubricity of both coatings.To sum up,the coatings with transition multilayer interface have excellent adaptive lubricating properties and can properly control the diffusion rate and release rate of the lubricating phase,indicating that they have great potential in solving the problem of friction and wear of mechanical parts.

文摘Nitric oxide (NO) removal and sulfur dioxide (SO2) removal by sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) were studied in a Bubble Column Reactor. The proposed reaction pathways of NO and SO2 removal are discussed. The effects of temperatures (35-90℃), Na25208 (0.05-0.5 mol·L-1), FeSO4 (0.5-5.0 m mol·L-1) and H2O2 (0.25 mol·L-1) on NO and SO2 removal were investigated. The results indicated that increased persulfate concentration led to increase in NO removal at various temperatures. SO2 was almost completely removed in the temperature range of 55-85 ℃. Fe2 + accelerated persulfate activation and enhanced NO removal efficiency. At 0.2 mol· L- 1 Na2S2O8 and 0.5-1.0 mmol· L-1Fe2 +, NO removal of 93.5%-99% was obtained at 75-90 ℃, SO2 removal was higher than 99% at all temperatures. The addition of 0.25 mol. L i H202 into 0.2 mol·L-1· Na2S2O8 solution promoted NO removal efficiency apparently until utterly decomposition of H2O2, the SO2 removal was as high as 98.4% separately at 35 ℃ and 80 ℃.
