Shelf-cultivation of Strawberry with Mulch and Heat Preservation Technology with Natural Energy

It is proved that the treatment with white mulch and black thin films per- formed the best in terms of heat preservation in cultivation of strawberry with shelves. In winter, drip irrigation performed significantly in transporting hot water through solar energy. The combination of the two methods resolved the issue of heat preservation difficulty and guaranteed growth of strawberry in winter.

Principles and technology for stepwise utilization of resources for mitigating deep mine heat hazards

As is well known, deep mines are hot. As mining depth increases, the temperature of the surrounding rock also increases. This seriously affects mine safety and production and has restricted the exploitation of deep coal resources. Therefore, reducing the working face temperature to improve working conditions by controlling these heat hazards is an urgent problem. Considering problems in cooling deep mines both domestically and abroad along with the actual conditions of the Zhangshuanglou coal mine, we propose a HEMS technology that uses heat resources from deep mines in a stepwise manner. HEMS means a high temperature ex-change machinery system. Mine inrush-water is used as a source of cooling. Twice the energy is extracted from the mine inrush water. Heat is used for building heating in the winter and cold water is used for cooling buildings in the summer. This opens a new technology for stepwise utilization of heat energy in deep mines. Energy conservation and reduced pollution, an improved environment and sustainable economic development are realized by this technique. The economic and social effects are obvious and illustrate a good prospect for the application and extension of the method.

In-Vessel Melt Retention of Pressurized Water Reactors: Historical Review and Future Research Needs

After the first concrete was poured on December 9, 2012 at the Shidao Bay site in Rongcheng, Shandong Province, China, the construction of the reactor building for the world＇s first high-temperature gas- cooled reactor pebble-bed module （HTR-PM） demonstration power plant was completed in June, 2015. Installation of the main equipment then began, and the power plant is currently progressing well to- ward connecting to the grid at the end of 2017. The thermal power of a single HTR-PM reactor module is 250 MW,h, the helium temperatures at the reactor core inlet/outlet are 250/750 ℃, and a steam of 13.25 MPa/567 ~C is produced at the steam generator outlet. Two HTR-PM reactor modules are connect- ed to a steam turbine to form a 210 MW nuclear power plant. Due to China＇s industrial capability, we were able to overcome great difficulties, manufacture first-of-a-kind equipment, and realize series ma- jor technological innovations. We have achieved successful results in many aspects, including planning and implementing R＆D, establishing an industrial partnership, manufacturing equipment, fuel produc- tion, licensing, site preparation, and balancing safety and economics; these obtained experiences may also be referenced by the global nuclear community.

Pyrolysis Process in Aramid Fibers Investigated by Py-GC/MS & TGA-DTA/MS

Poly （ m-phenylene isophthalamine） （PMIA） and Poly（ p-phenylene terphthalamine） （PPTA） are among the most important high-temperature resistant aramid fibers. The pyrolysis behaviors of these two fibers under inert gases were studied using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry （Py-GC/MS） and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry （ TGA-DTA/MS ）. The pyrolysis processes of PMIA and PPTA are distinguishing, and the stepwise pyrolysates reflect these differences. A mechanism system of pyrolysis is suggested, which involving hydrolysis and homolysis, At low pyrolysis temperatures, hydrolysis is a primary reaction, and it is very noticeable in the first-step pyrolysis region of PMIA. Elevating pyrolysis temperature, homolysis is enhanced and keep a large advantage in the high temperature range. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, carbonization happens and the homolysis and carbonization of PPTA are emphasized more than of PMIA.

The Shandong Shidao Bay 200 MW_e High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Pebble-Bed Module(HTR-PM) Demonstration Power Plant: An Engineering and Technological Innovation

In 2005, the US passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandating the construction and operation of a high-temperature gas reactor （HTGR） by 2021. This law was passed after a multiyear study by national experts on what future nuclear technologies should be developed. As a result of the Act, the US Congress chose to develop the so-called Next-Generation Nuclear Plant, which was to be an HTGR designed to produce process heat for hydrogen production. Despite high hopes and expectations, the current status is that high temperature reactors have been relegated to completing research programs on advanced fuels, graphite and materials with no plans to build a demonstration plant as required by the US Con- gress in 2005. There are many reasons behind this diminution of HTGR development, including but not limited to insufficient government funding requirements for research, unrealistically high temperature requirements for the reactor, the delay in the need for a ＂hydrogen＂ economy, competition from light water small modular light water reactors, little utility interest in new technologies, very low natural gas prices in the US, and a challenging licensing process in the US for non-water reactors.

A Study on Ship Deperming Coil System Using High Temperature Superconducting Cable Technology

Naval ship deperming is effective to reduce the potential damage from sea mines some of which sense magnetic field of the ship, and thus, is an important treatment of naval ships in the recent world. Large electric current is required to impose the magnetic field on the ship hull, which in turn means that the deperming coil needs to be wound on ship hull when the coil is composed of conventional conductive materials, such as copper. We considered a few HTS （high temperature superconducting） coil systems to deperm naval ships because we expect the shorter deperming time and lower manual workload for ship deperming operation, compared conventional conductor coil systems. We have in the past presented a solution using a fiat two-coil system arranged on seabed with tightly bound HTS conductor by analytical calculation of magnetic field on the conductor. By considering present and already developed technologies, a conductor with cylindrically wound on the core arranged as fiat multi-turn coils on seabed was designed using analytical methods.

The definition analyses of radiation temperature measurement area

In the research of primary spectrum pyrometry, this paper discussed the definition problem of radiation temperature measurement area based on the measurement coordinates. For the linear spectrum emissivity model and improved monotonic spectrum emissivity model, the characteristics of radiation temperature measurement area restricted by the measurement coordinates were theoretically analyzed, through the investigations of the temperature and emissivity coordinate axes. Choosing the specific primary spectrum pyrometer as an example in applications, the theoretical area of radiation temperature measurement of this pyrometer was given and it was verified through blackbody experiments. The discussions of this paper will provide the necessary foundation for the theory research development of primary spectrum pyrometry and the realization of technical applications.

Numerical Approach to the Mechanism of Cellulose Pyrolysis

A detailed mechanism analysis of cellulose pyrolysis was carried out according to the previous experimental results. On the basis of the Brodio-Shafizadeh model, a modified two-stage model was proposed to simulate the formation and decomposition of active cellulose (AC) and several main organic compounds, such as levoglucosan (LG), hydroxyl-acetaldehyde (HAA), acetol and furfural etc. During pryolysis, the temperature rise of cellulose can be divided into three stages. In the second stage, cellulose undergoes a main decomposition process in which the reaction temperature remains rather low because of the endothermic cracking of glucosidic bond of AC during the formation of LG. The components density of bio-oil, including LG and other competitive compounds, increased rapidly with the increase of temperature during the first stage. However, in the main decomposition process, LG density in bio-oil had an obvious decrease, while the competitive products appeared to increase gradually, which means the ring-opening and reforming reaction of pyranoid ring are superior to LG formation in high temperature.The secondary reaction of volatile components occurs largely in gaseous phase rather than in the solid phase. Short residence time of volatile materials in high temperature region will be advantageous to a high production of LG,which may otherwise decompose quickly under high temperature. An optimum yield of LG could be obtained when radiant source temperature is in the range of 730---920K and gas residence time is less than 1 s. In addition, the reaction temperature has a stronger effect than gas residence time on the formation of HAA, acetol, formaldehyde and furfural etc.

Mechanism Study of Rice Straw Pyrolysis by Fourier Transform Infrared Technique

The pyrolysis mechanism of rice straw (RS) was investigated using a tube reactor with Fourier trans-form infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyzer. The results show that the maximum pyrolysis rate increases with increasing heating rate and the corresponding temperature also increases. The three-pseudocomponent model could describe the pyrolysis behavior of rice straw accurately. The main pyrolysis gas products are H2O, CO2, CO, CH4, HCHO (formaldehyde), HCOOH (formic acid), CH3OH (methanol), C6H5OH (phenol), etc. The releasing of H2O, CO2, CO and CH4 mainly focuses at 220-400°C. The H2O formation process is separated into two stages corresponding to the evaporation of free water and the formation of primary volatiles. The release of CO2 first increases with increasing temperature and gets the maximum at 309°C. The releasing behavior of CO is similar to H2O and CO2 between 200 and 400°C. The production of CH4 happens, compared to CO2 and CO, at higher temperatures of 275-400°C with the maximum at 309°C. When the temperature exceeds 200°C, hy-droxyl and aliphatic C H groups decrease significantly, while C O, olefinic C C bonds and ether structures in-crease first in the chars and then the aromatic structure develops with rising temperature. Above 500°C, the material becomes increasingly more aromatic and the ether groups decreases with an increase of temperature. The aromati-zation process starts at ≈350°C and continues to higher temperatures.

Utilizing Solar Thermal Energy for Post-Combustion C02 Capture

Post-combustion amine absorption and stripping can remove 90% of the CO2 from power plant flue gas, but systems can reduce electrical output by approximately 30% due to energy requirements for stripping CO2 from solvent and CO2 compression. The CO2 capture energy penalty can be reduced while developing renewable energy technologies by meeting CO2 capture energy requirements with a solar thermal energy system, particularly when electricity demand and prices are the highest. This study presents an initial review of solar thermal technologies for supplying CO2 capture energy, with a focus on high temperature systems. Parabolic troughs and central receivers are technically able to provide energy for CO2 capture. However, the solar system＇s capital costs would be roughly half that of the base coal-fired plant with CO2 capture, and high electricity prices are required to offset the costs of operating the solar thermal system. For high temperature solar thermal systems, direct electricity generation is likely a more efficient way to use solar energy to replace output lost to CO2 capture energy. However, low temperature solar thermal systems might integrate better with solvent stripping equipment, and more rigorous analysis is required to definitively assess the feasibility of using solar energy for CO2 capture.

Elevated temperature oxidation behavior of HVOF sprayed TiB_2 cermet coating

Oxidation behaviors of Ni(Cr)-TiB2 coating deposited by HVOF technique were studied at 800,900 and 1 000℃in air. The microstructures of as-sprayed and oxidized coatings were characterized by X-ray diffractometry(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).After oxidation at 800℃,a thin and adherent oxide layer was formed on the surface of the coating.With increasing exposure temperature,the thickness of the oxide layer increased;and at 1 000℃the oxide layer separated from the coating.Investigation of the kinetics of oxidation by using the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)technique shows a parabolic oxidation rate.

Structure Characterization of Fluorosilicone Oils

Fluorosilicone oil is polysiloxane with alkyl side chains containing fluorine, and because of its excellent thermal oxidation stability, cold flow property and cryogenic property, it can be widely used as a high temperature lubricant in the field of military aerospace industry. Two kinds of fluorosilicone oils, FSiO-a and FSiO-b, were synthesized by different pro- cessing means. FTICR MS was used to collect the information on composition and structure of the two polymers, respec- tively. The test results show that the two fluorosilicone oils have different contents of fluorine-containing chain segments (m/ n value), the maximum distribution of m/n value of FSiO-a oil ranges from 0.22 to 0.25, and that of FSiO-b oil ranges from 0.4 to 0.67. Difference in synthesis techniques makes this discrepancy and affects the quality and thermal stability of the fluoro- silicone oils.

冶金工程专业简介

我国是世界第一的冶金大国,钢铁产量、有色金属产量均居世界第一,钢铁产量占世界钢铁总产量的三分之一还多。说起冶金工程,在我国可以追溯到商周时期的青铜器时代。那时,丰富的冶铜技术就成为了中国冶金工业的源头,并迅速把整个青铜技术推到更高的阶段,建立了世界上最为光辉灿烂的"青铜文明"。之后,我国的冶金技术在世界上又率先取得了突破:在漫长的冶炼过程中,人们逐渐掌握了金属冶炼所需要的高温技术和较高水平的冶金处理技术,如柔化处理技术、炒钢技术、百炼钢技术、灌钢技术等。公元十五世纪,在明代中叶我国已开始大量生产金属锌。在宋应星的《天工开物·五金》中,有关于密封加热冶炼"倭铅"(即锌)方法的记载。明代的钱币"永乐通宝"也具有较高的含锌量。而欧洲到了十八世纪才开始冶炼锌。此外,宋应星的《天工开物》记载了我国古代冶金技术的许多成就,如冶炼生铁和熟铁的连续生产工艺,退火、正火、淬火等钢铁热处理工艺等。

Influence of Bark Pyrolysis Technology on Yield

With the self-made pyrolysis equipment in miniature, we experimented in different pyrolysis conditions to get different pyrolyzate yields ( carbon, vinegar and gas). It proved that with the rise of temperature, the average yield of carbon descends gradually while the yields of vinegar and gas rise gradually. As the temperature rises, the yield of gas increases much more than that of vinegar. When speeding up the rising temperature, yield of carbon goes down while yields of vinegar and gas go up.

Experimental investigation of three-dimensional mixed-mode fracture of a titanium alloy at room and elevated temperatures

Damage tolerance of titanium alloy structures is very important for the safety of modern aircraft under complex loading and environmental conditions. However, there is no available systematic knowledge about the effect of alloy thickness under mixed-mode loading at elevated temperatures. In the present study, a newly developed fracture experimental technique based on high-temperature moiré interferometry was employed to investigate experimentally I-II mixed-mode fracture in titanium alloy TC11 of various thicknesses at room and elevated temperatures. Compact shear specimens with thickness ranging from 1.8 to 7.1 mm were tested. The effects of temperature, thickness, and loading angle on the load capacity and crack initiation angle were investigated systematically. The TC11 alloy was shown to possess varied fracture performance at elevated tem-perature, and an opposite thickness effect at room temperature. Increasing temperature would enhance the fracture load capacity of thick specimens but reduce the fracture load capacity of thin specimens. Crack initiation angles under I-II mixed-mode loading showed the thickness-temperature coupling effects. These complex effects call for new development in three-dimensional mixed-mode fracture theory and technologies for damage tolerance assessment.
