A southward withdrawal of the northern edge of the East Asian summer monsoon around the early1990s

The northern edge of the East Asian summer monsoon （EASM） is identified using the pentad total column water vapor obtained from ERA-Interim reanalysis data during 1979-2015.Empirical orthogonal function analysis is applied to study the meridional displacement of the northern edge of the EASM during the study period,and the results show an interdecadal southward shift around 1993/1994 and an indistinct northward displacement after 2007/2008.To focus on the interdecadal change around 1993/1994,composite analysis using the difference between 1979-1993 and 1994-2007 is employed.Through examination of the differences between these two periods,a significant anticyclonic anomaly is found over Mongolia,suggesting a pronounced interdecadal weakening of the Mongolian low during 1994-2007.Thus,northward advancement of the EASM may have been prevented by the anomalous northerly flow to the east of the weakened Mongolian low after 1993.Further study shows that the interdecadal weakening of the Mongolian low might be attributable to the meridional inhomogeneity of surface warming over the northern part of East Asia.Previous studies suggest that such meridional inhomogeneity would lead to a reduction in local atmospheric baroclinicity,and thus the suppression of extratropical cyclone activity over Mongolia,resulting in a southward withdrawal of the northern edge of the EASM on the interdecadal timescale.

Diffusion-Controlled Adsorption Kinetics of Triton X-100 at Air/Solution Interface

In this paper, the equilibrium surface tension and the dynamic surface tension of aqueous Triton X-100 solution at temperature 25 ℃ were measured by means of Wilhelmy plate method and maximal bubble pressure method respectively. The determined critical micellar concentration（cmc） of Triton X-100 at 25 ℃ is (2.2×10-4) mol/dm3. The adsorption mechanics of Triton X-100 at air/solution was determined. For the submicellar concentrations it is diffusion-controlled. The diffusion coefficient was calculated from the experimental data in the range of short limit. In the range of long time adsorption, the subsurface concentration is fitted from the measured dynamic surface tensions.

Effects of Pressure on Bubble Size and Separation of BSA by a Semi-batch Foaming Process

Experiments were conducted to obtain the values of the Sauter bubble size, enrichment and recovery of bovine serum albumin （BSA） in a semi-batch col- umn fitted with a stainless steel sparger at elevated pressure. The effects of Sur- face tension, surfactant concentration, foam/solution height ratio and air flow rate on the separation performance were investigated, and the results showed that good en- richments and recoveries can be achieved for bovine serum albumin operated at el- evated pressures. Especially the size of bubbles generated by the stainless steel sparger was smaller at higher pressures which is favorable to the foam separation process. Furthermore, the separation mechanism of bovine serum albumin operated at elevated pressure was also discussed.

Numerical simulation of gurney flaps lift-enhancement on a low reynolds number airfoil

Two-dimensional steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） equations with transition shear stress transport （SST） model were solved to investigate the effects of Gumey flaps on the aerodynamic performance of a low Reynolds number airfoil. This airfoil was designed for flight vehicles operating at 20 km altitude with freestream velocity of 25 rn/s. The chord length （C） of this airfoil is 5 m and the corresponding Reynolds number is 7.76× 10^5. Gurney flaps with the heights ranging from 0.25%C to 3%C were investigated. It has been shown that Gurney flaps can enhance not only the prestall lift but also lift-to-drag ratio in a certain range of angles of attack. Specially, at cruise angle of attack （3°）, Gurney flap with the height of 0.5%C can increase lift-to-drag ratio and lift coefficient by 1.6% and 12.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the mechanisms of Gumey flaps to improve the aerodynamic performance were illustrated by analyzing the surface pressure distribution, streamlines and trailing-edge flow structure for this low Reynolds number airfoil. Specially, distinguished from some other numerical researches, the flow details such as the laminar separation bubble and transition phenomena for low Reynolds number airfoil with Gumey flaps were investigated and it was found that Gurney flaps can delay the transition onset position at small angles of attack （≤2°）. However, with the increase of angles of attack, Gurney flaps will promote the boundary layer transition.

Experimental Research of Surface Roughness Effects on Highly-Loaded Compressor Cascade Aerodynamics

Aircraft engines deteriorate during continuous operation under the action of external factors including fouling, corrosion, and abrasion. The increased surface roughness of compressor passage walls limits airflow and leads to flow loss. However, the partial increase of roughness may also restrain flow separation and reduce flow loss. It is necessary to explore methods that will lower compressor deterioration, thereby improving the overall performance. The experimental research on the effects of surface roughness on highly loaded compressor cascade aerodynamics has been conducted in a low-speed linear cascade wind tunnel. The different levels of roughness are arranged on the suction surface and pressure surface, respectively. Ink-trace flow visualization has been used to measure the flow field on the walls of cascades, and a five-hole probe has been traversed across one pitch at the outlet. By comparing the total pressure loss coefficient, the distributions of the secondary-flow speed vector, and flow fields of various cases, the effects of surface roughness on the aerodynamics of a highly loaded compressor cascade are analyzed and discussed. The results show that adding surface roughness on the suction surface and pressure surface make the loss decrease in most cases. Increasing the surface roughness on the suction surface causes reduced flow speed near the blade, which helps to decrease mixing loss at the cascades outlet. Meanwhile, adding surface roughness on the suction surface restrains flow separation, leading to less flow loss. Various levels of surface roughness mostly weaken the flow turning capacity to various degrees, except in specific cases.

Effects of gas compressibility and surface roughness on the flow in microfluidic devices

With the development of the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS),the flow characteristics in micro-channels have drawn increasing attention.In this paper,numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of compressible flow through micro-channels and micronozzles.An improved surface roughness viscosity model is used to simulate the effect of surface roughness on micro-channels flow characteristics.Using this model,better agreements between the computational results and the experimental data are found.The result indicates that the surface roughness is one of the important factors affecting the flow characteristics of gas through micro-channels.The numerical investigation on the expansion channel shows that by using the laminar model that considers surface roughness,the computational results and experimental data are consistent when Re<450,whereas deviation increases when Re>450.Based on the synthetic model with considerations of turbulence viscosity and surface roughness,the numerical results and the experimental data are identical.

Wrinkle-free graphene with spatially uniform electrical properties grown on hot-pressed copper

The chemical vapor deposition （CVD） of graphene on Cu substrates enables the fabrication of large-area monolayer graphene on desired substrates. However, during the transfer of the synthesized graphene, topographic defects are unavoidably formed along the Cu grain boundaries, degrading the electrical properties of graphene and increasing the device-to-device variability. Here, we introduce a method of hot-pressing as a surface pre-treatment to improve the thermal stability of Cu thin film for the suppression of grain boundary grooving. The flattened Cu thin film maintains its smooth surface even after the subsequent high temperature CVD process necessary for graphene growth, and the formation of graphene without wrinkles is realized. Graphene field effect transistors （FETs） fabricated using the graphene synthesized on hot-pressed Cu thin film exhibit superior field effect mobility and significantly reduced device-to-device variation.

Surface pressure anisotropy and complex relaxation of silica nanoparticle monolayer at the air-water interface

We report the anisotropy effect and the relaxation dynamics of surface pressure of silica nanoparticle monolayer at the air-water interface. The anisotropy of surface pressure occurs when the water surface is fully covered by particles and becomes more prominent with the increase of surface concentration. Hence, the conception of surface tensor was proposed to characterize the monolayer properties. The dynamics of pressure relaxation involves three timescales which are related to the damping of surface fluctuation, rearrangement of particle rafts and particle motion inside each raft. The anisotropy decays when the layer is kept static and the process is accelerated remarkably by barrier oscillation. The underlying physics mechanism is also discussed in detail for the origin of pressure anisotropy and its decay dynamics.

Study on PECVD SiO_2 /Si_3 N_4 double-layer electrets with different thicknesses

In this paper, performance of PECVD SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 double layers electrets with different thicknesses were investigated detailedly in respect of chargeability, storage charge stability in high temperature and reliability in high humidity environment. Samples with different thicknesses of Si 3 N 4 and SiO 2 were prepared on Pyrex 7740 glass substrates and characterized by isothermal and high humidity charge decay. The results of experiment approved that the PECVD SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 double layers electrets on glass substrate has as good chargeability and charge stability in high temperature and high humidity environment as thermal oxidation or APCVD/LPCVD ones on silicon substrates. The experiment results indicated that a Si 3 N 4 layer no less than 50 nm is necessary for good charge stability in high temperature and a Si 3 N 4 layer thicker than 500 nm decreases the chargeability. Even a 2 nm Si 3 N 4 layer is enough to significantly improve the charge stability in high humidity environment. Thick SiO 2 layer can increase the surface potential of electrets under the same charging condition and its charge stability in high temperature. However, the electrets with high surface potential also exhibit poor uniformity of charge stability in high humidity environment.

Thermal Characteristics of Air-Water Spray Impingement Cooling of Hot Metallic Surface under Controlled Parametric Conditions

Experimental results on the thermal characteristics of air-water spray impingement cooling of hot metallic surface are presented and discussed in this paper.The controlling input parameters investigated were the combined air and water pressures,plate thickness,water flow rate,nozzle height from the target surface and initial temperature of the hot surface.The effects of these input parameters on the important thermal characteristics such as heat transfer rate,heat transfer coefficient and wetting front movement were measured and examined.Hot flat plate samples of mild steel with dimension 120 mm in length,120 mm breadth and thickness of 4 mm,6 mm,and 8mm respectively were tested.The air assisted water spray was found to be an effective cooling media and method to achieve very high heat transfer rate from the surface.Higher heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficients were obtained for the lesser i.e,4 mm thick plates.Increase in the nozzle height reduced the heat transfer efficiency of spray cooling.At an inlet water pressure of 4 bar and air pressure of 3 bar,maximum cooling rates670℃/s and average cooling rate of 305.23℃/s were achieved for a temperature of 850℃ of the steel plate.
