Different types of pore water (de-aired water or tap water) and pore gas (air or CO2) as well as different magnitudes of back pressure were used to achieve different Sr (or B-value). The measured relationship between B-value and Vp was not consistent with the theoretical prediction. The measurement shows that the Vp value in the specimen flushed with de-aired water is independent of B-value (or St) and is always around the one in fully saturated condition. However, the Vp value in the specimen flushed with tap water increases with B-value, but the shape of the relationship between Vp and B-value is quite different from the theoretical prediction. The possible explanation for the discrepancy between laboratory measurement and theoretical prediction lies in that the air exists in the water as air bubbles and therefore the pore fluid (air-water mixture) is heterogeneous instead of homogenous assumed in the theoretical prediction.展开更多

Different spin configurations have been considered. Our calculations showed that the choice of the Hubbard U parameter in DFT+U and mixing factor α in HSE significantly influenced the band gap as well as relative energies. For the spin exited states, the optimal value for U and α were 3.0 eV and 0.05, respectively. Our calculation also emphasized that when U〉5.0 eV, PBE+U would lead to unreasonable electronic structure and energy order.展开更多

While the conductive gel achieves the requirement in making a good contact between the electrodes and skin, several problems appear. A gel-free, non-contact electrode based on capacitive coupling theory was provided in this paper, which was integrated on the print circuit board (PCB). The experimental results showed that clear ECG signals could be acquired in the laboratory conditions by coupling the electrodes to the chest of patients through cotton belts.展开更多

In this paper, the interior comer flow theory is modified by correction of the curvature and shape parameters based on geometry relationship, so that it can be extended to a wide range of applications including different dihedral angles and contact angles. This modification is validated with the data provided by the references using capillary tube and drop tower. Besides, the errors between the theory and experiment value are analyzed for the case of small viscosity and the long-time flow, finding that the main reason causing the error is the transformation of the flow resistance along the flow path. At last, the theory of interior comer flow is applied to the primary design of the Propellant Management Device in satellite tank, and optimum design of the vanes is given in terms of maximum flow rate.展开更多
