Simultaneous measurement of velocity profile and liquid film thickness in horizontal gas–liquid slug flow by using ultrasonic Doppler method

Horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flows widely exist in chemical engineering,oil/gas production and other important industrial processes.Slug flow pattern is the main form of horizontal gas-liquid flows and characterized by intermittent motion of film region and slug region.This work aims to develop the ultrasonic Doppler method to realize the simultaneous measurement of the velocity profile and liquid film thickness of slug flow.A single-frequency single-channel transducer is adopted in the design of the field-programmable gate array based ultrasonic Doppler system.A multiple echo repetition technology is used to improve the temporal-spatial resolution for the velocity profile.An experiment of horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow is implemented in an acrylic pipe with an inner diameter of 20 mm.Considering the aerated characteristics of the liquid slug,slug flow is divided into low-aerated slug flow,high-aerated slug flow and pseudo slug flow.The temporal-spatial velocity distributions of the three kinds of slug flows are reconstructed by using the ultrasonic velocity profile measurement.The evolution characteristics of the average velocity profile in slug flows are investigated.A novel method is proposed to derive the liquid film thickness based on the instantaneous velocity profile.The liquid film thickness can be effectively measured by detecting the position and the size of the bubbles nearly below the elongated gas bubble.Compared with the time of flight method,the film thickness measured by the Doppler system shows a higher accuracy as a bubble layer occurs in the film region.The effect of the gas distribution on the film thickness is uncovered in three kinds of slug flows.

Forming process chain for manufacturing complex conical-section profiled rings:On a co-design method

The final quality of complex conical-section rings depends on co-design of multiple processes in forming process chain.In this study,for a complex aeroengine casing ring with a large slope and a flange on its end,a co-design method of the forming process chain is put forward towards the objective of precision forming,which not only proposes a standard process route composed of multiple processes of upsetting,punching,rectangular ring rolling,loose tooling forging and profiled ring rolling,but also presents co-design methods of dies and blanks for all the processes.For profiled ring rolling,a design method of preformed blank that makes the blank and the target conical-section ring have the same axial volume distribution is proposed.By the method,the axial metal redistribution during the process can be alleviated greatly thus improving the forming stability and precision of the ring.Based on the geometric features of designed preformed blank,design methods of blanks and dies for loose tolling forging,rectangular ring rolling,punching and upsetting are proposed sequentially.In view of the key roles of loose tooling forging(manufacturing the preformed blank)and profiled ring rolling on the final quality of the conical ring parts,inherited FE simulations for these two processes are performed to verify the proposed design methods and determine appropriate design parameter.It is demonstrated that the proposed design method has significant advantages in improving forming precision.Besides,a suggestive value 1.5 of the rolling ratio for profiled ring rolling(a key design parameter)is given based on comprehensive consideration of multiple indicators such as ring roundness,deformation uniformity and forming load.The corresponding industrial experiments performed illustrate that a high forming precision of the conical-section aeroengine casing ring is achieved.

Investigation of the Aroma Profile of Green Tea Leaves Using Organic Synthesis and Conventional Analytical Techniques

Although many aroma components have been identified in green tea leaves, the aroma compounds contributing to green tea＇s characteristic odor have not yet been reported. The authors recently reported that aroma components with a matcha-like odor are present in both green tea and black tea prepared from the Sayamakaori tea cuttivar. This matcha-like odor is similar to the odor of commercial available matcha （high-quality powdered green tea）, and is a specific odor feature of green tea leaves. At present, the green-tea odor is thought to arise from the combination of a large number of constituents. Recent reports indicate that a complex interaction between olfactory receptors and odorants is important for the evaluation of the odors. Taking into consideration these findings, the authors investigated the aroma profile of green tea, focusing on the characteristic molecular structures of the constituents that give matcha-like odor. Using a combination of organic synthesis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry plus gas chromatography-olfactometry, the authors identified aroma components with matcha-like odors in five other tea cultivars. This investigation also revealed that several compounds with a formyl group were important constituents of the aroma of green tea leaves, although the odor of each constituent was not individually similar to the tea＇s overall aroma. The authors found for the first time a group of key components that have the matcha-like odor.

Dim Moving Small Target Detection by Local and Global Variance Filtering on Temporal Profiles in Infrared Sequences

In this paper, the temporal different characteristics between the target and background pixels are used to detect dim moving targets in the slow-evolving complex background. A local and global variance filter on temporal profiles is presented that addresses the temporal characteristics of the target and background pixels to eliminate the large variation of background temporal profiles. Firstly, the temporal behaviors of different types of image pixels of practical infrared scenes are analyzed.Then, the new local and global variance filter is proposed. The baseline of the fluctuation level of background temporal profiles is obtained by using the local and global variance filter. The height of the target pulse signal is extracted by subtracting the baseline from the original temporal profiles. Finally, a new target detection criterion is designed. The proposed method is applied to detect dim and small targets in practical infrared sequence images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good detection performance for dim moving small targets in the complex background.

Zircon age depth-profiling sheds light on the early Caledonian evolution of the Seve Nappe Complex in west-central J?mtland

The Scandinavian Caledonides comprise nappe stacks of far-travelled allochthons that record closure of the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continental collision of Baltica and Laurentia.The Seve Nappe Complex(SNC)of the Scandinavian Caledonides includes relics of the outermost Baltoscandian passive margin that were subducted to mantle depths.The earliest of the deep subduction events has been dated to ca.500-480 Ma.Evidence of this event has been reported from the northern exposures of the SNC.Farther south in the central and southern segments of the SNC,(ultra)high-pressure rocks have yielded younger ages in the range of ca.470-440 Ma.This study provides the first record of the early Caledonian event in the southern SNC.The evidence has been obtained by depth profiling of zircon grains that were extracted from the Tv?r?klumparna microdiamond-bearing gneiss.These zircon grains preserve eclogite facies overgrowths that crystallized at 482.6±3.8 Ma.A second,chemically-distinct zircon overgrowth records granulite facies metamorphism at 439.3±3.6 Ma,which corroborates previous geochronological evidence for granulite facies metamorphism at this time.Based on these results,we propose that the entire outer margin of Baltica was subducted in the late Cambrian to early Ordovician,but the record of this event may be almost entirely eradicated in the vast majority of lithologies by pervasive late Ordovician to early Silurian metamorphism.

Alginate-based complex fibers with the Janus morphology for controlled release of co-delivered drugs

Hydrogels are soft materials consisting of a three-dimensional network of polymer chains.Over the years,hydrogels with different compositions have been developed as drug carriers for diverse biomedical applications,ranging from cancer therapy and wound care to the treatment of neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases.Most of these carriers,however,are designed only to deliver single agents.Carriers based on hydrogels for co-delivery of multiple agents,with the release rate of each of the co-delivered agents tunable,are lacking.This study reports a one-pot method of fabricating alginate-based complex fibers with the Janus morphology,with carboxymethyl cellulose sodium functioning as a polymeric modifier of the properties of each of the fiber compartments.By using malachite green and minocycline hydrochloride as model drugs,the generated fibers demonstrate the capacity of enabling the release profile of each of the co-delivered drugs to be precisely controlled.Along with their negligible toxicity and the retention of the activity of the loaded drugs,the complex fibers reported in this study warrant further development and optimization for applications that involve co-delivery of multiple agents.

Profiling the Change of Key Chemical Ingredients in Combination of Aconitum carmichaeli Debx. and Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f. by UPLC-QTOF/MS with Multivariate Statistical Analysis

In the present study, an ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF/MS) based chemical profiling approach to rapidly evaluate chemical diversity after codecocting of the combination of Aconitum carmichaeli Debx.(wu-tou in Chinese, WT) and Bletilla striata(Thunb.) Reichb.f.(bai-ji in Chinese, BJ) incompatible pair. Two different kinds of decoctions, namely WT-BJ mixed decoction: mixed water extract of each individual herbs, and WT-BJ co-decoction: water extract of mixed two constituent herbs, were prepared. Batches of these two kinds of decoction samples were subjected to UPLC-QTOF/MS analysis, the datasets of tR-m/z pairs, ion intensities and sample codes were processed with supervised orthogonal partial least squared discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) to holistically compare the difference between these two kinds of decoction samples. Once a clear classification trend was found in score plot, extended statistical analysis was performed to generate S-plot, in which the variables(tR-m/z pair) contributing most to the difference were clearly depicted as points at the two ends of "S", and the components that correlate to these ions were regarded as the most changed components during co-decocting of the incompatible pair. The identities of the changed components can be identified by comparing the retention times and mass spectra with those of reference compounds and/or tentatively assigned by matching empirical molecular formulae with those of the known compounds published in the literatures. Using the proposed approach, global chemical difference was found between mixed decoction and co-decoction, and hypaconitine, mesaconitine, deoxyaconitine, aconitine, 10-OH-mesaconitine, 10-OH-aconitine and deoxyhypaconitine were identified as the most changed toxic components of the combination of WT-BJ incompatible pair during co-decocting. It is suggested that this newly established approach could be used to practically reveal the possible toxic components changed/increased of the herbal combination taboos, e.g. the Eighteen Incompatible Medications(Shi Ba Fan), in traditional Chinese medicines.

钢轨断面轮廓检测装备能够测量钢轨的磨耗情况,为铁路维修保养提供重要参考。能否及时准确地从普通轨道、道岔、接头等复杂路况条件下识别出有效钢轨廓形制约了检测装备的实际应用性能。通过对二维线激光采样数据的统计分析,实现对有效廓形和异常廓形的分类识别。首先,对比线路中不同区域的钢轨轮廓形态,选择轨头与轨腰的间断性和轨头与轨腰的形态相关性作为有效轮廓的识别依据。其次,利用不同路况条件下的钢轨轮廓点云数据分布情况,实现对原始数据中难以评估磨耗程度的异常轮廓数据进行识别分类。现场实验测试结果表明,该方法识别出的有效轮廓分布和实际路况基本一致,在行车测试速度8.3 km/h的条件下,单个轮廓平均识别时间为9.78 ms,识别准确率达到97%以上。

不同类型复合添加剂对全株玉米青贮发酵品质、有氧稳定性和细菌区系的影响

本研究旨在评价不同类型的复合添加剂对全株玉米青贮发酵品质、有氧稳定性和细菌区系结构的影响,以探究复合添加剂改善青贮饲料品质的机制。在干物质含量为30.8%时将整株玉米收获并切碎,在鲜样基础上分别进行以下四种处理:(1)对照组(CON组):不进行任何处理;(2)复合乳酸菌剂接种组(CLB组):调制青贮时添加0.002 g/kg由布氏乳酸菌、植物乳杆菌和粪肠球菌组合而成的复合乳酸菌剂;(3)复合有机酸盐处理组(MS组):添加0.1 g/kg以苯甲酸钠和山梨酸钾为主要活性成分的复合有机酸盐;(4)菌酸复配组(CLBMS组):同时进行(2)和(3)处理。每个处理3个生物学重复,抽真空并密封后室温贮藏42 d,开窖后分析玉米青贮的常规养分、发酵参数、有氧稳定性和细菌区系结构。结果表明:CON组玉米青贮的pH显著高于3个处理组(P<0.05),同时CON组和CLB组的乳酸浓度和乳酸/乙酸比显著高于MS和CLBMS处理组(P<0.05),表明CLB和MS处理均能增加玉米青贮pH的下降速度和程度,且MS能够使青贮发酵模式向乙酸型发酵转变;CLBMS处理组玉米青贮的有氧稳定为66.2 h,较CLB组的50.2 h提高了31.9%(P<0.05),而二者与CON组(60.2 h)和MS处理组(65.3 h)之间均无统计学差异(P>0.05)。细菌区系结构分析显示,与CON组相比,CLB组乳酸片球菌的相对丰度显著升高(P<0.05,LDA score>2),而MS组的魏斯氏菌属和鞘氨醇单胞菌属的相对丰度显著增加(P<0.05,LDA score>2),这些变化可能与玉米青贮发酵品质和有氧稳定性的改变密切相关。综上表明,与复合乳酸菌剂相比,复合有机酸盐对全株玉米青贮发酵品质和有氧稳定性的改善效果更佳,且二者具有一定的协同增效作用,但作用机制需要进一步研究。
