Developing a comprehensive understanding of the shear fracture mechanisms and crack propagation behaviors in rocks under the influence of cyclic heating is imperative for optimizing geothermal energy extraction. This study encompasses several critical aspects under cyclic heating conditions, including the assessment of stress distribution states, the characterization of two-dimensional fracture paths, the quantitative analysis of three-dimensional damage characteristics on fracture surfaces, and the determination of the fractal dimension of debris generated after the failure of granite. The test results demonstrate that cyclic heating has a pronounced adverse effect on the physical and mechanical properties of granite. Consequently, stress tends to develop and propagate in a direction perpendicular to the two-dimensional fracture path. This leads to an increase in the extent of tensile damage on the fracture surface and accelerates the overall rock failure process. This increases the number of small-sized debris, raises the fractal dimension, and enhances the rock’s rupture degree. In practical enhanced geothermal energy extraction, the real-time monitoring of fracture propagation within the reservoir rock mass is achieved through the analysis of rock debris generated during the staged fracturing process.展开更多

文摘Seepage in coarse-grained soil exhibits distinct non-Darcy characteristics,and the transition from linear to nonlinear seepage significantly affects the hydraulic characteristics and geotechnical applications.Due to the complexity of pore structure in heterogeneous coarse-grained soil,identifying the critical threshold for the transition from Darcy to non-Darcy seepage is challenging.This paper introduces equivalent particle size(dep)and relative roughness(λt)as indirect indicators reflecting the pore characteristics,quantifying the complex pore structure of heterogeneous coarse-grained soil.The formulae for the derivation of Reynolds number and resistance coefficient for heterogeneous coarse-grained soil are presented.By conducting permeability tests on coarse-grained soils with different pore structures,the effect of particle composition heterogeneity on seepage characteristics was analyzed.The flow regime of heterogeneous coarse-grained soil is divided into laminar,transitional,and turbulent stages based on the relationship between Reynolds number and resistance coefficient.The energy loss patterns in each stage are closely related to pore structure.By setting the permeability ratio k∗=0.95 as the critical threshold for the transition from Darcy to non-Darcy seepage,a method for calculating the critical Reynolds number(Recr)for heterogeneous coarse-grained soil is proposed.Furthermore,we applied this method to other published laboratory data,analyzing the differences in the critical threshold for seepage transition between homogeneous and heterogeneous coarse-grained soil.This study aims to propose a more accurate and general criterion for the transition from Darcy to non-Darcy seepage in heterogeneous coarse-grained soil.

文摘This study aims to investigate the intricate dynamic characteristics of the high-speed duct during the over-under Turbine-Based Combined Cycle(TBCC)inlet mode transition process while operating in an off-design state under throttled conditions.A typical over-under TBCC inlet,designed for a working Mach number range of 0–6 with a transition Mach number of 3.5,is examined through experimental studies in a supersonic wind tunnel with a freestream Mach number of2.9.The investigation focuses on the complex oscillatory flow and unique hysteresis observed in the mode transition process of the high-speed duct under the mildly throttled condition,utilizing highspeed schlieren and dynamic pressure acquisition system.The findings reveal that the high-speed duct undergoes four distinct oscillation stages akin to those in a higher throttled state during the mode transition,albeit with smaller dominant frequency and energy.Moreover,an irregular alternating“big/little buzz”mode is observed in the early stage of the large oscillation stage.Notably,the mildly throttled state exhibits three intriguing hysteresis properties compared to the unthrottled and higher throttled states.Firstly,hysteresis is observed in the shock train motion stage in the duct before unstart,along with the corresponding inverse process.Subsequently,hysteresis is noted in the unstart and restart of the high-speed duct,with a smaller hysteresis interval than in the unthrottled state.Finally,the hysteresis characteristics of oscillation mode switching and the corresponding inverse process are explored.Based on the analysis,the first two hysteresis phenomena are associated with the formation and dissipation of the separation bubble.The significant adverse pressure gradient constrains the cross-sectional capacity of the channel,rendering the disappearance of the separation bubble more challenging.The hysteresis in oscillation mode switching is linked to not only the channel cross-sectional capacity but also the state of the incoming boundary layer.

文摘Xiyu conglomerate is a significant and extensively distributed geological formation in western China.A clear understanding of its properties and the establishment of a classification system are essential for selecting appropriate research methods to investigate its engineering mechanical behavior.Based on geological data from eight typical Xiyu conglomerate geological belts and seven hydropower projects,this study summarizes the main engineering geological characteristics,and analyzes the fabric characteristics of various components of the conglomerate through laboratory tests and statistical analysis.A comprehensive classification system is proposed for Xiyu conglomerate based on two key criteria:(1)grain size distribution,quantified by the d_(50)(median grain diameter),and(2)cementation type,identified via mineralogical and geochemical analysis.This system divides Xiyu conglomerate into nine distinct categories,each defined by specific engineering geological and petrofabric properties.The results reveal that,even within the same region,the grain size composition and distribution of Xiyu conglomerate are highly heterogeneous.While the chemical composition of the cementing materials is generally consistent,notable differences in cement properties arise primarily from variations in mineral content,particularly the proportion of calcareous material(dolomite,calcite,and quartz).Conglomerates with gray or grayish-blue matrices typically exhibit higher calcareous content,whereas those with earth-yellow or khaki matrices contain less calcareous material and are predominantly argillaceous-cemented.Additionally,Xiyu conglomerate shows higher porosity compared to conventional rocks.The proposed classification method based on engineering geological and fabric characteristics offers a geological basis for further determining the engineering mechanical properties of various Xiyu conglomerate types.This approach holds potential for addressing the challenges related to unclear classification and difficulty in accurately defining mechanical parameters for Xiyu conglomerate across different regions.

文摘The Lower Cambrian shales in the Sichuan Basin are considered one of the most promising shale gas resources in China.However,large-scale commercial development has not been achieved due to the relatively low and significantly variable gas contents of the drilled shales.Excitingly,the first major breakthrough in deep and ultra-deep Lower Cambrian shale gas was made recently in the well Z201 in the southern Sichuan Basin,with a gas yield exceeding 73×10^(4)m^(3)/d.The success of well Z201 provides a favorable geological case to reveal the distinct enrichment mechanism of deep and ultra-deep Lower Cambrian shale gas.In this study,at drilling site of well Z201,fresh shale core samples with different gasin-place contents were collected,and their geochemical,pore development and water-bearing characteristics were analyzed systematically.The results showed that the Z201 organic-rich shales reached an overmature stage,with an average Raman maturity of 3.70%.The Z201 shales with high gas-in-place contents are mainly located in the Qiongzhusi 12section and the upper Qiongzhusi 11section,with an average gas-in-place content of 10.08 cm^(3)/g.Compared to the shales with low gas-in-place contents,the shales with high gas-in-place contents exhibit higher total organic carbon contents,greater porosities,and lower water saturations,providing more effective pore spaces for shale gas enrichment.The effective pore structures of the deep and ultra-deep Lower Cambrian shales are the primary factors affecting their gas-in-place contents.Similar to the shales with high gas-in-place contents of well Z201,the deep and ultra-deep Lower Cambrian shales in the Mianyang-Changning intracratonic sag,especially in the Ziyang area,generally developed in deep-water shelf facies with high total organic carbon contents and thick sedimentary thickness,providing favorable conditions for the development and preservation of effective pores.Therefore,they are the most promising targets for Lower Cambrian shale gas exploration.

文摘Using the ultra-low permeability reservoirs in the L block of the Jiangsu oilfield as an example,a series of experiments,including slim tube displacement experiments of CO_(2)-oil system,injection capacity experiments,and high-temperature,high-pressure online nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)displacement experiments,are conducted to reveal the oil/gas mass transfer pattern and oil production mechanisms during CO_(2) flooding in ultra-low permeability reservoirs.The impacts of CO_(2) storage pore range and miscibility on oil production and CO_(2) storage characteristics during CO_(2) flooding are clarified.The CO_(2) flooding process is divided into three stages:oil displacement stage by CO_(2),CO_(2) breakthrough stage,CO_(2) extraction stage.Crude oil expansion and viscosity reduction are the main mechanisms for improving recovery in the CO_(2) displacement stage.After CO_(2) breakthrough,the extraction of light components from the crude oil further enhances oil recovery.During CO_(2) flooding,the contribution of crude oil in large pores to the enhanced recovery exceeds 46%,while crude oil in medium pores serves as a reserve for incremental recovery.After CO_(2) breakthrough,a small portion of the crude oil is extracted and carried into nano-scale pores by CO_(2),becoming residual oil that is hard to recover.As the miscibility increases,the CO_(2) front moves more stably and sweeps a larger area,leading to increased CO_(2) storage range and volume.The CO_(2) full-storage stage contributes the most to the overall CO_(2) storage volume.In the CO_(2) escape stage,the storage mechanism involves partial in-situ storage of crude oil within the initial pore range and the CO_(2) carrying crude oil into smaller pores to increase the volume of stored CO_(2).In the CO_(2) leakage stage,as crude oil is produced,a significant amount of CO_(2) leaks out,causing a sharp decline in the storage efficiency.

文摘Deep geothermal extraction processes expose rock masses to frequent and significant temperature fluctuations. Developing a comprehensive understanding of the shear fracture mechanisms and crack propagation behaviors in rocks under the influence of cyclic heating is imperative for optimizing geothermal energy extraction. This study encompasses several critical aspects under cyclic heating conditions, including the assessment of stress distribution states, the characterization of two-dimensional fracture paths, the quantitative analysis of three-dimensional damage characteristics on fracture surfaces, and the determination of the fractal dimension of debris generated after the failure of granite. The test results demonstrate that cyclic heating has a pronounced adverse effect on the physical and mechanical properties of granite. Consequently, stress tends to develop and propagate in a direction perpendicular to the two-dimensional fracture path. This leads to an increase in the extent of tensile damage on the fracture surface and accelerates the overall rock failure process. This increases the number of small-sized debris, raises the fractal dimension, and enhances the rock’s rupture degree. In practical enhanced geothermal energy extraction, the real-time monitoring of fracture propagation within the reservoir rock mass is achieved through the analysis of rock debris generated during the staged fracturing process.

文摘Water use efficiency(WUE),as a pivotal indicator of the coupling degree within the carbon–water cycle of ecosystems,holds considerable importance in assessment of the carbon–water balance within terrestrial ecosystems.However,in the context of global warming,WUE evolution and its primary drivers on the Tibetan Plateau remain unclear.This study employed the ensemble empirical mode decomposition method and the random forest algorithm to decipher the nonlinear trends and drivers of WUE on the Tibetan Plateau in 2001–2020.Results indicated an annual mean WUE of 0.8088 gC/mm·m^(2)across the plateau,with a spatial gradient reflecting decrease from the southeast toward the northwest.Areas manifesting monotonous trends of increase or decrease in WUE accounted for 23.64%and 9.69%of the total,respectively.Remarkably,66.67%of the region exhibited trend reversals,i.e.,39.94%of the area of the Tibetan Plateau showed transition from a trend of increase to a trend of decrease,and 26.73%of the area demonstrated a shift from a trend of decrease to a trend of increase.Environmental factors accounted for 70.79%of the variability in WUE.The leaf area index and temperature served as the major driving forces of WUE variation.

文摘Background There is a growing focus on using various plant-derived agricultural by-products to increase the benefits of pig farming,but these feedstuffs are fibrous in nature.This study investigated the relationship between dietary fiber physicochemical properties and feedstuff fermentation characteristics and their effects on nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,and gut microbiota in growing pigs.Methods Thirty-six growing barrows(47.2±1.5 kg)were randomly allotted to 6 dietary treatments with 2 apparent viscosity levels and 3β-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios.In the experiment,nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,fecal microbial community,and production and absorption of short-chain fatty acid(SCFA)of pigs were investigated.In vitro digestion and fermentation models were used to compare the fermentation characteristics of feedstuffs and ileal digesta in the pig’s hindgut.Results The production dynamics of SCFA and dry matter corrected gas production of different feedstuffs during in vitro fermentation were different and closely related to the physical properties and chemical structure of the fiber.In animal experiments,increasing the dietary apparent viscosity and theβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased the apparent ileal digestibility(AID),apparent total tract digestibility(ATTD),and hindgut digestibility of fiber components while decreasing the AID and ATTD of dry matter and organic matter(P<0.05).In addition,increasing dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased gas exchange,heat production,and protein oxidation,and decreased energy deposition(P<0.05).The dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucanto-arabinoxylan ratios had linear interaction effects on the digestible energy,metabolizable energy,retained energy(RE),and net energy(NE)of the diets(P<0.05).At the same time,the increase of dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased SCFA production and absorption(P<0.05).Increasing the dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios increased the diversity and abundance of bacteria(P<0.05)and the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria.Furthermore,increasing the dietaryβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios led to a linear increase in SCFA production during the in vitro fermentation of ileal digesta(P<0.001).Finally,the prediction equations for RE and NE were established.Conclusion Dietary fiber physicochemical properties alter dietary fermentation patterns and regulate nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,and pig gut microbiota composition and metabolites.
文摘Aircraft disturbs the adjacent atmospheric environment in flight,forming spatial distribution features of atmospheric density that differ from the natural background,which may potentially be utilized as tracer characteristics to introduce new technologies for indirectly sensing the presence of aircraft.In this paper,the concept of a long-range aircraft detection based on the atmospheric disturbance density field is proposed,and the detection mode of tomographic imaging of the scattering light of an atmospheric disturbance flow field is designed.By modeling the spatial distribution of the disturbance density field,the scattered echo signal images of active light towards the disturbance field at long distance are simulated.On this basis,the characteristics of the disturbance optical signal at the optimal detection resolution are analyzed.The results show that the atmospheric disturbance flow field of the supersonic aircraft presents circular in the light-scattering echo images.The disturbance signal can be further highlighted by differential processing of the adjacent scattering images.As the distance behind the aircraft increases,the diffusion range of the disturbance signal increases,and the signal intensity and contrast with the background decrease.Under the ground-based observation conditions of the aircraft at a height of 10000 m,a Mach number of1.6,and a detection distance of 100 km,the contrast between the disturbance signal and the back-ground was 30 d B at a distance of one time from the rear of the fuselage,and the diffusion diameter of the disturbance signal was 50 m.At a distance eight times the length of the aircraft,the contrast decreased to 10 dB,and the diameter increased to 290 m.The contrast was reduced to 3 dB at a distance nine times the length of the aircraft,and the diameter was diffused to 310 m.These results indicate the possibility of long-range aircraft detection based on the characteristics of the atmospheric density field.

文摘VOCs(Volatile organic compounds)exert a vital role in ozone and secondary organic aerosol production,necessitating investigations into their concentration,chemical characteristics,and source apportionment for the effective implementation of measures aimed at preventing and controlling atmospheric pollution.FromJuly to October 2020,onlinemonitoringwas conducted in the main urban area of Shijiazhuang to collect data on VOCs and analyze their concentrations and reactivity.Additionally,the PMF(positive matrix factorization)method was utilized to identify the VOCs sources.Results indicated that the TVOCs(total VOCs)concentration was(96.7±63.4μg/m^3),with alkanes exhibiting the highest concentration of(36.1±26.4μg/m^3),followed by OVOCs(16.4±14.4μg/m^3).The key active components were alkenes and aromatics,among which xylene,propylene,toluene,propionaldehyde,acetaldehyde,ethylene,and styrene played crucial roles as reactive species.The sources derived from PMF analysis encompassed vehicle emissions,solvent and coating sources,combustion sources,industrial emissions sources,as well as plant sources,the contribution of which were 37.80%,27.93%,16.57%,15.24%,and 2.46%,respectively.Hence,reducing vehicular exhaust emissions and encouraging neighboring industries to adopt low-volatile organic solvents and coatings should be prioritized to mitigate VOCs levels.

文摘The reaction rate constant is a crucial kinetic parameter that governs the charge and discharge performance of batteries,particularly in high-rate and thick-electrode applications.However,conventional estimation or fitting methods often overestimate the charge transfer overpotential,leading to substantial errors in reaction rate constant measurements.These inaccuracies hinder the accurate prediction of voltage profiles and overall cell performance.In this study,we propose the characteristic time-decomposed overpotential(CTDO)method,which employs a single-layer particle electrode(SLPE)structure to eliminate interference overpotentials.By leveraging the distribution of relaxation times(DRT),our method effectively isolates the characteristic time of the charge transfer process,enabling a more precise determination of the reaction rate constant.Simulation results indicate that our approach reduces measurement errors to below 2%,closely aligning with theoretical values.Furthermore,experimental validation demonstrates an 80% reduction in error compared to the conventional galvanostatic intermittent titration technique(GITT)method.Overall,this study provides a novel voltage-based approach for determining the reaction rate constant,enhancing the applicability of theoretical analysis in electrode structural design and facilitating rapid battery optimization.
