Rheological and drag reduction properties of different concentrations of aqueous HXG and XG solution were studied. The micro-structure network of HXG and XG solutions was investigated by Cryo-FESEM. The results showed that HXG and XG solutions could exhibit shear thinning property. The apparent viscosity of6 g·L-1HXG solution was 1.25 times more than that of 6 g·L-1XG solution. The storage modulus G′ and the loss modulus G″ of HXG solutions were greater than those of XG solutions, and thixotropic and viscoelastic properties were more significant in HXG solutions. The HXG and XG solutions reduced the pressure drop of straight pipe, and the maximum drag reduction of 1 g·L-1HXG and XG in smooth tube reached 72.8% and 68.1%, respectively. Drag reduction rate was increased as the concentration increased. The HXG solution may become a new polymeric drag reducer.展开更多

ZX type scale inhibitors were tested at high temperature under the boiling conditions. The results indicate that ZX type scale inhibitors have remarkable scale preventing performance during evaporation of salt electrolyte even at the temperature up to 150℃. Among them, ZX Ⅲ type scale inhibitor is the best with the rate of scale-preventing reaching to 88.9%. In addition, the scale preventing mechanism of ZX type scale inhibitors was analyzed and its application prospect in the field of continuous commercial fouling preventing discussed.展开更多

Subsequently, the alkaline treatment process of calcium phosphate film in 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution was monitored on real time by the piezoelectric quartz crystal impedance （PQCI） technique. The variations of morphology and composition for the alkaline treatment products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）, respectively. The dynamic variations of calcium phosphate can be characterized by the change of equivalent circuit parameters. The results show that the forming process of hydroxyapatite （HA） is composed of three stages： （1） acidic calcium phosphate dissolution; （2） phase transformation; and （3） HA formation. Furthermore, the correlative kinetic equations and parameters are obtained by fitting the static capacitance （C8）-time curves.展开更多

Vagal fibers interact with peptidergic neurons of the enteric nervous system which stain immunohistochemically for cholecystokinin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and gastrin releasing peptide. The contribution of these peptidergicneurons in the pancreatic response to vagal stimulation is unknown. We tested the effect of specific inhibitor of these stimulants against vagally mediated exocrine secretion in rats. The response to vagal stimulation was blocked significantly by each of the following:the ganglionic blocker hexamethonium (l00% inhibition); the muscarinic, cholinergic blocker atropine (85% inhibition); the specific cholecystokinin-A receptor blocker (91 % inhibition); and a vasoactive intestinal polypeptide polyclonal antibody (89% inhibition). This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that potentiating interactions among several agonists mediate the vagal response. Our study, however, dose not exclude acetylcholine as the final commommediator.展开更多
