Revealing the flow mechanism of cryogenic working fluid is the key to optimize heat exchanger structure and hydrogen liquefaction process(LH2). The methods of cryogenic visualization experiment, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are conducted to study the falling film flow characteristics with the effect of co-current gas flow in LH2spiral wound heat exchanger.The results show that the flow rate of mixed refrigerant has a great influence on liquid film spreading process, falling film flow pattern and heat transfer performance. The liquid film of LH2mixed refrigerant with column flow pattern can not uniformly and completely cover the tube wall surface. As liquid flow rate increases, the falling film flow pattern evolves into sheet-column flow and sheet flow, and liquid film completely covers the surface of tube wall. With the increase of shear effect of gas-phase mixed refrigerant in the same direction, the liquid film gradually becomes unstable, and the flow pattern eventually evolves into a mist flow.展开更多

The governing equations with appropriate boundaries and interfacial conditions describing the dehumidifying process are set up. Calcium chloride is applied as the desiccant. The dehumidifying process between falling liquid desiccant film and process air is analyzed and calculated by the control volume approach. Velocity field, temperature distribution and outlet parameters for both the process air and desiccant solution are obtained. The effects of inlet conditions and vertical wall height on the dehumidification process are also predicted. The results show that the humidity ratio, temperature and mass fraction of salt decrease rapidly at the inlet region but slowly at the outlet region along the vertical wall height. The dehumidification processes can be enhanced by increasing the vertical wall height, desiccant solution flow rates or inlet salt concentration in the desiccant solution, respectively. Similarly, the dehumidification process can be improved by decreasing the inlet humidity ratio or flow rates of the process air. The obtained results can improve the performance of the dehumidifier and provide the theoretical basis for the optimization design, and the ooeration and modulation of the solar liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems.展开更多

In order to determine the relationship between fall dormancy (FD) grade and hormone variation pattern and provide academic references for the variety improvement and production of alfalfa, the variations of gibberellins (GA3), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and abscisic acid (ABA) in alfalfa roots during regrowth period in spring were examined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The study involved seven alfalfa cultivars that belonged to four fall dormant grades, i.e., 2, 4, 6, and 8. The results showed that the differences in spring regrowth among the alfalfa cultivars were partially associated with their root hormone levels. The alfalfa cultivars that belonged to the same dormancy grades presented similar variation trends in endogenous hormone content in their roots during the spring regrowth stage. At the early regrowth stage, cultivars with a higher dormant grade had a higher GA3 concent and a lower ABA content in their roots than the cultivars with a lower dormant grade; and IAA content in roots of non- and semi-fall dormancy cultivars was higher than that of fall dormancy cultivars. During the whole period of spring regrowth, the root ABA content of fall dormancy alfalfa cultivar is significantly higher than those of semi- and non-fall dormancy cultivars. GA3 contents in the roots of all cultivars under study showed a double-peak dynamic curve; root IAA contents of the studied cultivars presented a downward trend. But the trend did not significantly differed among the different fall dormant cultivars. The higher GA3 content and lower ABA content in root of non-fall dormancy alfalfa lead to its earlier regrowth. Regrowth time and rate of alfalfa can be regulated by exogenous GA3 or ABA at the early regrowth stage to meet producing requirement.展开更多

Many factors including blood pressure and anti-hypertensive medication application were reported as hazards of fall. The purpose of this study was to determine if age related systemic functional decline related with increased fall risks in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 342 elderly hypertension patients (age 79.5 + 6.7 years, male 63.8%) were recruited to the study. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), including measurements about activity of daily living (ADL), nutrition, cognition, depression, numbers of prescription medication and number of clinical diagnosis, was conducted to evaluate the physical and mental status of each participants. Fall risk was evaluated by Morse fall scale, Tinetti perform- ance oriented mobility assessment (POMA) and history of fall in the recent years. Participants were grouped into tertiles according to CGA score. Correlation between CGA and fall risk was analyzed through SPSS 18.0. Results Participants with higher CGA score were likely to be older, had a lower body mass index (BMI), and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease and osteoarthropathia. Participants in higher tertile of CGA score got increased prevalence of fall risk than those in lower tertile (P 〈 0.01 T3 vs. T1, P 〈 0.01 T3 vs. T2). Correlation analysis and regression analysis showed significant association between CGA and Morse fall scale (P 〈 0.001), as well as CGA and POMA (P 〈 0.001). Meanwhile, CGA components also showed co-relationships with increase fall risks. After adjusting age, BMI, benzodiazepine use, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, COPD and osteoarthropathia, both history of fall in the recent year and rising Morse fall scale were significantly associated with ADL im- pairment (OR: 2.748, 95%CI: 1.598-4.725), (OR: 3.310, 95%CI: 1.893-5.788). Decreased Tinetti POMA score was associated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (OR: 4.035, 95%CI: 2.100-7.751), ADL (OR: 2.380, 95%CI: 1.357-4.175) and shortened MNA form (MNA-SF) impairment (OR: 2.692, 95%CI: 1.147-6.319). Conclusions In elderly adults with hypertension, impaired physical and mental function is associated with increased fall risk. Further study is required to investigate possible mediators for the association and effec- tive interventions.展开更多

The effects of the tube length, tube diameter, and annular gap on the falling film flow characteristics were determined, respectively. The results indicated that under a certain spray density, the falling film thickness in the region of the steady section was almost constant with different structural parameters for the tube diameter, tube length, and annular gap. In addition, a smaller tube diameter resulted in a steadier film flow. When the tube diameter decreased to a specific value, the film thickness showed a uniform distribution along the wall surface. This indicated that a best falling tube diameter exists. Meanwhile, the film fluctuation was enhanced with an increase in the tube length. When the tube length was greater than 1.2 m, the falling film splashed and could not completely wet the wall surface. The film fluctuation was enhanced by decreasing the annular gap, and the film could not be formed when the annular gap was smaller than 1.2 mm.展开更多

Through this approach,it finds the approximate solution to the quadratic equation of time-togo,which is used for the formula derivation of the flying time control command. In this guidance law design,the acceleration rate control command is adopted. The guidance law is composed of a PN guidance command and a flying time control command. Firstly,it obtains a desired falling angle with accurate guidance. Secondly,it introduces to satisfy the constraint of flying time. The flying time control requires an assumption on the future evolution of missile,which is called time-to-go. To cope with the time-varying speed of missiles,a method of compensating the estimation of time-to-go is presented. The new guidance law is evaluated by using a simulation of typical terminal guidance for rocket-propelled torpedo. The simulation results show that the guidance achieves excellent control performance and exhibits insensitivity to initial trajectory parameter over a widen flight envelope.展开更多

After studying the linear conditions, a generalized nonlinear kine- matic model is then derived to present the physical system. Applying the boundary conditions, analytical solutions are obtained using the long-wave perturbation method. In the first step, the normal mode method is used to characterize the linear behaviors. In the second step, the nonlinear film flow model is solved by using the method of multiple scales, to obtain Ginzburg-Landau equation. The influence of some physical parameters is discussed in both linear and nonlinear steps of the problem, and the results are displayed in many plots showing the stability criteria in various param- eter planes.展开更多

It is crucial to prevent grape from berry falling during storage. In this article, the structure change of grape cells in the abscission zone was observed, the ABA content and the activities of cellulase and polygalacturonase (PG) were measured, and the relationship of ABA and berry falling was investigated. The results suggest that cells in the abscission zone grow into a separation layer soon after the grapes are cut off. According to the level of development, we designed 6 grades to sort the different development stages. The grade 3 plays an important role in berry falling. ABA enhances the activities of cellulase and polygalacturonase, and accelerates the decomposition of cellulose and pectin, which determines the level of development of abscission zone and berry falling. If ABA ratio is less than 20 ng g-i flesh weight (FW), the abscission zone is not developed to the grade 3, and the berry falling is effectively stopped. We treated grape bunches with nine plant growth regulators and two chemicals. The results indicated that 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) can (a) inhibit the generation of ABA significantly, (b) inactivate the activities of cellulase and PG, (c) delay the development of the grade 3 of abscission zone, and (d) stop berry falling. Indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) caused similar results as TIBA. Chlorocholine chloride (CCC), dimethyl amino succinamic acid (B9), chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA) and exogenous ABA showed opposite effects.展开更多

文摘Regrowth traits of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in spring are closely related to its fall dormancy before winter. In order to determine the relationship between fall dormancy (FD) grade and hormone variation pattern and provide academic references for the variety improvement and production of alfalfa, the variations of gibberellins (GA3), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and abscisic acid (ABA) in alfalfa roots during regrowth period in spring were examined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The study involved seven alfalfa cultivars that belonged to four fall dormant grades, i.e., 2, 4, 6, and 8. The results showed that the differences in spring regrowth among the alfalfa cultivars were partially associated with their root hormone levels. The alfalfa cultivars that belonged to the same dormancy grades presented similar variation trends in endogenous hormone content in their roots during the spring regrowth stage. At the early regrowth stage, cultivars with a higher dormant grade had a higher GA3 concent and a lower ABA content in their roots than the cultivars with a lower dormant grade; and IAA content in roots of non- and semi-fall dormancy cultivars was higher than that of fall dormancy cultivars. During the whole period of spring regrowth, the root ABA content of fall dormancy alfalfa cultivar is significantly higher than those of semi- and non-fall dormancy cultivars. GA3 contents in the roots of all cultivars under study showed a double-peak dynamic curve; root IAA contents of the studied cultivars presented a downward trend. But the trend did not significantly differed among the different fall dormant cultivars. The higher GA3 content and lower ABA content in root of non-fall dormancy alfalfa lead to its earlier regrowth. Regrowth time and rate of alfalfa can be regulated by exogenous GA3 or ABA at the early regrowth stage to meet producing requirement.

文摘Background Fall and serious fall injuries have become a major health concern for elders. Many factors including blood pressure and anti-hypertensive medication application were reported as hazards of fall. The purpose of this study was to determine if age related systemic functional decline related with increased fall risks in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 342 elderly hypertension patients (age 79.5 + 6.7 years, male 63.8%) were recruited to the study. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), including measurements about activity of daily living (ADL), nutrition, cognition, depression, numbers of prescription medication and number of clinical diagnosis, was conducted to evaluate the physical and mental status of each participants. Fall risk was evaluated by Morse fall scale, Tinetti perform- ance oriented mobility assessment (POMA) and history of fall in the recent years. Participants were grouped into tertiles according to CGA score. Correlation between CGA and fall risk was analyzed through SPSS 18.0. Results Participants with higher CGA score were likely to be older, had a lower body mass index (BMI), and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease and osteoarthropathia. Participants in higher tertile of CGA score got increased prevalence of fall risk than those in lower tertile (P 〈 0.01 T3 vs. T1, P 〈 0.01 T3 vs. T2). Correlation analysis and regression analysis showed significant association between CGA and Morse fall scale (P 〈 0.001), as well as CGA and POMA (P 〈 0.001). Meanwhile, CGA components also showed co-relationships with increase fall risks. After adjusting age, BMI, benzodiazepine use, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, COPD and osteoarthropathia, both history of fall in the recent year and rising Morse fall scale were significantly associated with ADL im- pairment (OR: 2.748, 95%CI: 1.598-4.725), (OR: 3.310, 95%CI: 1.893-5.788). Decreased Tinetti POMA score was associated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (OR: 4.035, 95%CI: 2.100-7.751), ADL (OR: 2.380, 95%CI: 1.357-4.175) and shortened MNA form (MNA-SF) impairment (OR: 2.692, 95%CI: 1.147-6.319). Conclusions In elderly adults with hypertension, impaired physical and mental function is associated with increased fall risk. Further study is required to investigate possible mediators for the association and effec- tive interventions.

文摘The fall armyworm(FAW),Spodoptera frugiperda(J.E.Smith),is native to the Americas.It has rapidly invaded 47 African countries and 18 Asian countries since the first detection of invasion into Nigeria and Ghana in 2016.It is regarded as a super pest based on its host range(at least 353 host plants),its inherent ability to survive in a wide range of habitats,its strong migration ability,high fecundity,rapid development of resistance to insecticides/viruses and its gluttonous characteristics.The inherently superior biological characteristics of FAW contribute to its invasiveness.Integrated pest management(IPM)of FAW has relied on multiple applications of monitoring and scouting,agricultural control,chemical pesticides,viral insecticides,sex attractants,bio-control agents(parasitoids,predators and entomopathogens)and botanicals.Knowledge gaps remain to be filled to:(1)understand the invasive mechanisms of S.frugiperda;(2)understand how to prevent its further spread and(3)provide better management strategies.This review summarizes the biological characters of FAW,their association with its invasiveness and IPM strategies,which may provide further insights for future management.

文摘The flow pattern behaviour of falling liquid film over three horizontal cylinders was evaluated.These flows can take three forms:discrete droplets,individual jets,and continuous sheet,and special attention is paid to the effects of the physical properties and geometrical parameters of the first two forms(droplets and jets) because these forms are more important in heat-transfer behaviour and less research has been published for these forms,The flow modes and experimental results were successfully compared with previous experimental literatures,and also the effects of liquid flow rate,tube diameter,and tube spacing on departure site spacing,in both drop and jet modes,were evaluated in the low Galileo number and high viscosity fluid(cooking oil),to help developing criteria for determining falling film modes and their transitions,and to understand the heat transfer characteristics associated with each mode.

文摘In this paper,the open-sourced computational fluid dynamics software,OpenFOAM~?,is used to study the fluctuation phenomenon of the water body inside a horizontally one-dimensional enclosed harbor basin with constant water depth triggered by falling wedges with various horizontal falling positions,initial falling velocities and masses.Based on both Fourier transfo rm analysis and wavelet spectrum analysis for the time series of the free surface elevations inside the harbor basin,it is found for the first time that the wedge falling inside the harbor can directly trigger harbor resonance.The influences of the three factors(including the horizontal falling position,the initial falling velocity,and the mass)on the response amplitudes of the lowest three resonant modes are also investigated.The results show that when the wedge falls on one of the nodal points of a resonant mode,the mode would be remarkably suppressed.Conversely,when the wedge falls on one of the anti-nodal points of a resonant mode,the mode would be evidently triggered.The initial falling velocity of the wedge mainly has a remarkable effect on the response amplitude of the most significant mode,and the latter shows a gradual increase trend with the increase of the former.While for the other two less significant modes,their response amplitudes fluctuate around certain constant values as the initial falling velocity rises.In general,the response amplitudes of all the lowest three modes are shown to gradually increase with the mass of the wedge.

文摘The flow in a liquid falling film is predominantly laminar,and the liquid-side mass transfer is limited by molecular diffusion.The effective way to enhance the mass transfer is to improve the liquid film flow behavior.The falling film behaviors of water,ethanol and ethylene glycol in nine different wavy microchannels were simulated by Computational Fluid Dynamics.The simulation results show that the falling film thickness exhibits a waveform distribution resulting in a resonance phenomenon along the wavy microchannel.The fluctuation of liquid film surface increases the gas-liquid interface area,and the internal eddy flow inside the liquid film also improves the turbulence of liquid film,the gas-liquid mass transfer in falling film microchannels is intensified.Compared with flat microchannel,the CO_(2) absorption efficiency in water in the wavy microchannel is improved over 41%.Prediction models of liquid film amplitude and average liquid film thickness were established respectively.
