The knowledge of force response and mechanical specific energy (MSE) for the Stinger PDC cutter is of great importance for improving the cutter's performance and optimizing the hybrid PDC bit design. In this paper, 87 single cutter tests were conducted on the granite. A new method for precisely obtaining the rock broken volume was proposed. The influences of cutting depth, cutting angle, and cutting speed on cutting force and MSE were analyzed. Besides, a phenomenological cutting force model of the Stinger PDC cutter was established by regression of experimental data. Moreover, the surface topography and fracture morphology of the cutting groove and large size cuttings were measured by a 3D profilometer and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Finally, the rock-breaking mechanism of the Stinger PDC cutter was illustrated. The results indicated that the cutting depth has the greatest influence on the cutting force and MSE, while the cutting speed has no obvious effects, especially at low cutting speeds. As the increase of cutting depth, the cutting force increases linearly, and MSE reduces with a quadratic polynomial relationship. When the cutting angle raises from 10° to 30°, the cutting force increases linearly, and the MSE firstly decreases and then increases. The optimal cutting angle for breaking rock is approximately 20°. The Stinger PDC cutter breaks granite mainly by high concentrated point loading and tensile failure, which can observably improve the rock breaking efficiency. The key findings of this work will help to reveal the rock-breaking mechanisms and optimize the cutter arrangement for the Stinger PDC cutter.展开更多

However, for a non-uniform flow the relation between the mechanical energy loss in a volume of fluid and the kinematical and dynamical characteristics of the flow field is not clearly established. In this paper a new mechanical energy equation for the incompressible steady non-uniform pipe flow of homogeneous fluid is derived, which includes the variation of the mean turbulent kinetic energy, and the formula for the calculation of the mechanical energy transformation loss for the non-uniform flow between two cross sections is obtained based on this equation. This formula can be simplified to the Darcy-Weisbach formula for the uniform flow as widely used in Hydraulics. Furthermore, the contributions of the mechanical energy loss relative to the time averaged velocity gradient and the dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy in the turbulent uniform pipe flow are discussed, and the contributions of the mechanical energy loss in the viscous sublayer, the buffer layer and the region above the buffer layer for the turbulent uniform flow are also analyzed.展开更多

Effects of Ni content and milling time on the gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of as-milled alloys were investigated systematically. The electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the as-milled alloys were tested by an automatic galvanostatic system. And the gaseous hydrogen storage properties were investigated by Sievert apparatus and a differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) connected with a H_2 detector. Hydrogen desorption activation energy of alloy hydrides was estimated by using Arrhenius and Kissinger methods. It is found that the increase of Ni content significantly improves the gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetic performances of as-milled alloys. Furthermore, as ball milling time changes, the maximum of both high rate discharge ability(HRD) and the gaseous hydriding rate of as-milled alloys can be obtained. But the hydrogen desorption kinetics of alloys always increases with the extending of milling time. Moreover, the improved gaseous hydrogen storage kinetics of alloys are ascribed to a decrease in the hydrogen desorption activation energy caused by increasing Ni content and milling time.展开更多

The results show that, due to the shielding action between the heat-source and the superposition effect of thermal fields, the insulating effect is best in multi-heat-source synthesis furnace. The heat emission effect is good outside the common area between heat-sources, but the heat storage is poor. Compared with the synthesis furnace that heat source is parallelly arranged, the furnace of stereoscopic arrangement has a more obvious heat stacking effect and better heat preservation effect, but the air permeability of heat source connecting regions is worse. In the case with the same ingredients, the resistance to thermal diffusion and mass diffusion is higher in heat source connecting regions.展开更多

文摘Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs)have recently attracted increasing research interest due to their unparalleled safety,fantastic cost competitiveness and promising capacity advantages compared with the commercial lithium ion batteries.However,the disputed energy storage mechanism has been a confusing issue restraining the development of ZIBs.Although a lot of efforts have been dedicated to the exploration in battery chemistry,a comprehensive review that focuses on summarizing the energy storage mechanisms of ZIBs is needed.Herein,the energy storage mechanisms of aqueous rechargeable ZIBs are systematically reviewed in detail and summarized as four types,which are traditional Zn^(2+)insertion chemistry,dual ions co-insertion,chemical conversion reaction and coordination reaction of Zn^(2+)with organic cathodes.Furthermore,the promising exploration directions and rational prospects are also proposed in this review.

文摘The stress concentration and failure at chamber intersections in coal mine are intense,especially in deepburied,super-large section conditions.In this paper,the plastic radius of super-large section chamber under unequal pressure was corrected on the basis of the size effect.Then,stress and failure evolution of intersections under different crossing angles and equivalent angular bisectors were revealed.Furthermore,2 trajectory curves of failure and stress were analytically expressed,which divided the intersection into 5 influencing zones in the light of stress superposition degree.After determining instability trigger point and instability path,instability energy criterion of intersection can be obtained as K>1,which means that the external energy is greater than the sum of energy consumed by surrounding rock instability and supporting structure failure.Taking coal-gangue separation system of Longgu Coal Mine as example,it was found that there was instability risk under original parameters.For long-term stability,an optimization design method was proposed by considering safety factor,and optimal support scheme was obtained.Field monitoring showed intersections deformations were relatively small with the maximum of 125 mm,which verified the rationality of theoretical analysis.This study provides guidance for the stability control of the intersections under the same or similar conditions.

文摘Nano structured WC Co composite powders were prepared by high energy mechanical milling. The microstructure of as milled WC Co composite powders (including grain size, lattice strain, Co distribution and lattice defects) was investigated by X ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy (EDS). Nano structured WC co vered and separated by cobalt thin layers with average grain size less than 10 nm was obtained by high energy mechanical milling. The morphology of WC grains is almost spherical. High energy mechanical milling could also bring about a large number of lattice defects in WC grains.

文摘As a promising anode material in supercapacitors,vanadium nitride has been widely concerned due to its ultra-high theoretical specific capacitance.However,its routine test capacitance value is still far from the theoretical value and its energy storage mechanism is controversial.In order to solve these two key problems,here we prepare interplanar spacing expanded vanadium nitride materials with different impurity atoms intercalation from two anionic precursors of vanadium-based metal organic frameworks with different functional groups.The obtained vanadium nitride reaches a higher specific capacitance;and further,through ex situ X-Ray diffraction and in situ Raman,the charge storage of vanadium nitride is contributed by two processes:the first benefit is from the K^(+) de/intercalation in the interplanar spacing,and the other one is derived from the redox reaction with OH−by adsorption on surface.Furthermore,both of the first principle calculation and extended experiments support this idea.We believe that such detailed research on the energy storage mechanism can provide a clear idea for the application of metal nitrides in supercapacitors and other energy storage devices.

文摘Nanocrystalline and amorphous LaMg_(12)-type LaMg_(11)Ni + x wt% Ni(x = 100, 200) alloys were synthesized by mechanical milling. Effects of Ni content and milling time on the gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of as-milled alloys were investigated systematically. The electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the as-milled alloys were tested by an automatic galvanostatic system. And the gaseous hydrogen storage properties were investigated by Sievert apparatus and a differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) connected with a H_2 detector. Hydrogen desorption activation energy of alloy hydrides was estimated by using Arrhenius and Kissinger methods. It is found that the increase of Ni content significantly improves the gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetic performances of as-milled alloys. Furthermore, as ball milling time changes, the maximum of both high rate discharge ability(HRD) and the gaseous hydriding rate of as-milled alloys can be obtained. But the hydrogen desorption kinetics of alloys always increases with the extending of milling time. Moreover, the improved gaseous hydrogen storage kinetics of alloys are ascribed to a decrease in the hydrogen desorption activation energy caused by increasing Ni content and milling time.

文摘Through the experiments and the numerical simulation of temperature field in multi-heatsource synthesis Si C furnace, in order to research the feature point in multi-heat-source synthesis furnace, the variation law of heat fl ux was studied and the multi-directional energy fl ow diffusion mechanism was revealed. The results show that, due to the shielding action between the heat-source and the superposition effect of thermal fields, the insulating effect is best in multi-heat-source synthesis furnace. The heat emission effect is good outside the common area between heat-sources, but the heat storage is poor. Compared with the synthesis furnace that heat source is parallelly arranged, the furnace of stereoscopic arrangement has a more obvious heat stacking effect and better heat preservation effect, but the air permeability of heat source connecting regions is worse. In the case with the same ingredients, the resistance to thermal diffusion and mass diffusion is higher in heat source connecting regions.
