Structure and Performance of Fe-N_x-C Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction Prepared by Vacuum Casting Method and the Second Pyrolysis

Affordable non-precious metal（NPM） catalysts played a vital role in the wide application of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells（PEMFC）. In current work, a facile vacuum casting reacting method based on vacuum casting was introduced to prepare Fe-N_x-C oxygen reduction reaction（ORR） catalysts with high efficient in acid medium. The catalysts were prepared with ammonium ferrous sulfate hexahydrate（AFS） and 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate utilizing homemade mesoporous silica template. The heat treatment and its influence on structure and performance were systematically evaluated to achieve superior ORR performance and some clues were found. And 850 ℃ was found to be the best temperature for the first and second pyrolysis. The linear sweep voltammetry（LSV） results showed that there were only 18 mV slightly negative shifts of half-wave potential（E_（1/2）） of the optimal catalyst（749 mV） compared with the commercial Pt/C（20 μg·Pt·cm^-2）. Besides, I850 R also showed better electrochemical stability and methanol-tolerance than that of Pt/C. All evidences proved that our vacuum casting reacting strategy and heat treatment process were prospective for the future R＆D of high performance Fe-N_x-C ORR catalysts.

Two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems

A two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems is proposed and analyzed. The standard two-grid method is a local and parallel method usually leading to a discontinuous solution in the entire computational domain. Partition of unity method is employed to glue all the local solutions together to get the global continuous one, which is optimal in HI-norm. Furthermore, it is shown that the L^2 error can be improved by using the coarse grid correction. Numerical experiments are reported to support the theoretical results.

Explicit Iterative Methods of Second Order and Approximate Inverse Preconditioners for Solving Complex Computational Problems

Explicit Exact and Approximate Inverse Preconditioners for solving complex linear systems are introduced. A class of general iterative methods of second order is presented and the selection of iterative parameters is discussed. The second order iterative methods behave quite similar to first order methods and the development of efficient preconditioners for solving the original linear system is a decisive factor for making the second order iterative methods superior to the first order iterative methods. Adaptive preconditioned Conjugate Gradient methods using explicit approximate preconditioners for solving efficiently large sparse systems of algebraic equations are also presented. The generalized Approximate Inverse Matrix techniques can be efficiently used in conjunction with explicit iterative schemes leading to effective composite semi-direct solution methods for solving large linear systems of algebraic equations.

A combined approximate scheme is defined for convection-diffusion-reaction equations. This scheme is constructed by two methods. Standard mixed finite element method is used for diffusion term. A second order characteristic finite element method is presented to handle the material derivative term, that is, the time derivative term plus the convection term. The stability is proved and the L2-norm error estimates are derived for both the scalar unknown variable and its flux. The scheme is of second order accuracy in time increment, symmetric, and unconditionally stable.

The second molar dislocation is more common clinically.To investigate the related factors of the second permanent molar dislocation,and provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of orthodontics.From the current clinical research,the clinical methods of orthodontic erect secondary molars are also diverse and clinical.The narrower first molar alveolar arch width,smaller ANB angle,and crowded maxillary posterior segment arch are the factors that cause the maxillary second permanent molar dislocation.The narrow alveolar arch width,the smaller SNB angle,the larger ANB angle,and the crowded lower mandibular arch are the factors leading to the dislocation of the mandibular second permanent molar.In addition,for the second mandibular molar malposition,it is particularly important to select the corrective treatment plan.It is especially important to improve the treatment.

Application of diflerential constraint method to exact solution of second-grade fluid

A differential constraint method is used to obtain analytical solutions of a second-grade fluid flow. By using the first-order differential constraint condition, exact solutions of Poiseuille flows, jet flows and Couette flows subjected to suction or blowing forces, and planar elongational flows are derived. In addition, two new classes of exact solutions for a second-grade fluid flow are found. The obtained exact solutions show that the non-Newtonian second-grade flow behavior depends not only on the material viscosity but also on the material elasticity. Finally, some boundary value problems are discussed.

Second-order two-scale computational method for ageing linear viscoelastic problem in composite materials with periodic structure

The correspondence principle is an important mathematical technique to compute the non-ageing linear viscoelastic problem as it allows to take advantage of the computational methods originally developed for the elastic case. However, the correspon- dence principle becomes invalid when the materials exhibit ageing. To deal with this problem, a second-order two-scale （SOTS） computational method in the time domain is presented to predict the ageing linear viscoelastic performance of composite materials with a periodic structure. First, in the time domain, the SOTS formulation for calcu- lating the effective relaxation modulus and displacement approximate solutions of the ageing viscoelastic problem is formally derived. Error estimates of the displacement ap- proximate solutions for SOTS method are then given. Numerical results obtained by the SOTS method are shown and compared with those by the finite element method in a very fine mesh. Both the analytical and numerical results show that the SOTS computational method is feasible and efficient to predict the ageing linear viscoelastic performance of composite materials with a periodic structure.

P-and S-wavefield simulations using both the firstand second-order separated wave equations through a high-order staggered grid finite-difference method

In seismic exploration, it is common practice to separate the P-wavefield from the S-wavefield by the elastic wavefield decomposition technique, for imaging purposes. However, it is sometimes difficult to achieve this, especially when the velocity field is complex. A useful approach in multi-component analysis and modeling is to directly solve the elastic wave equations for the pure P- or S-wavefields, referred as the separate elastic wave equa- tions. In this study, we compare two kinds of such wave equations： the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） separate elastic wave equa- tions, with the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） full （or mixed） elastic wave equations using a high-order staggered grid finite-differ- ence method. Comparisons are given of wavefield snap- shots, common-source gather seismic sections, and individual synthetic seismogram. The simulation tests show that equivalent results can be obtained, regardless of whether the first-order or second-order separate elastic wave equations are used for obtaining the pure P- or S-wavefield. The stacked pure P- and S-wavefields are equal to the mixed wave fields calculated using the corre- sponding first-order or second-order full elastic wave equations. These mixed equations are computationallyslightly less expensive than solving the separate equations. The attraction of the separate equations is that they achieve separated P- and S-wavefields which can be used to test the efficacy of wave decomposition procedures in multi-com- ponent processing. The second-order separate elastic wave equations are a good choice because they offer information on the pure P-wave or S-wave displacements.
