文摘Kinetic impact is the most practical planetary-defense technique,with momentum-transfer efficiency central to deflection design.We present a Monte Carlo photometric framework that couples ejecta sampling,dynamical evolution,and image synthesis to compare directly with HST,LICIACube,ground-based and Lucy observations of the DART impact.Decomposing ejecta into(1)a highvelocity(~1600 m/s)plume exhibiting Na/K resonance,(2)a low-velocity(~1 m/s)conical component shaped by binary gravity and solar radiation pressure,and(3)meter-scale boulders,we quantify each component’s mass and momentum.Fitting photometric decay curves and morphological evolution yields size-velocity distributions and,via scaling laws,estimates of Dimorphos’bulk density,cratering parameters,and cohesive strength that agree with dynamical constraints.Photometric ejecta modeling therefore provides a robust route to constrain momentum enhancement and target properties,improving predictive capability for kinetic-deflection missions.

文摘The synthesis of propylene carbonate(PC)from CO_(2) and propylene oxide(PO)is a typical gas-liquid biphasic system,where gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency significantly influences CO_(2) cycloaddition reactions.Here,we proposed a microchannel reaction system for the CO_(2) cycloaddition reaction catalyzed by ionic liquid within an aqueous environment.The effect of liquid flow rate,temperature and residence time on gas-liquid flow pattern,catalytic performance and mass transfer were systematically investigated.The results revealed that the PC generation rate reached 560.11 mmol·ml^(−1)·h^(−1)at a 50 cm of flow distance under reaction conditions of 105℃,2.5 MPa,QG=176 ml·min^(−1) and QL=0.3 ml·min^(−1).Variations in mass transfer rate and reaction rate at different flow distances were experimentally studied.The reaction efficiency gradually decreased with increasing flow distance,which were attributed to the reduction of mass transfer caused by decreasing bubble velocity.Optimizing bubble velocity at an appropriate position enhanced reaction efficiency by improving mass transfer,achieving a 97.7%PC yield within 2.85 min.Furthermore,a kinetic model coupling intrinsic kinetics with gas-liquid mass transfer was developed for CO_(2) cycloaddition reaction.The kinetic model was applied to predict PC reaction rates in microchannel reactors at various temperatures and liquid flow rates,achieving an average relative error of 9.6%.

文摘In this study,copper extraction from low-grade oxide-sulfide ores was investigated using a leaching method combined with response surface methodology(RSM)to optimize operational conditions and assess leaching kinetics.Given copper's extensive industrial applications,sustainable recovery from low-grade ores is critical.Five key parameters-acid concentration,leaching time,particle size,temperature,and solids percentage-were identified as major influences on copper recovery.The results revealed that leaching time and solids percentage,along with interactions between temperature-time and temperature-solids percentage,had the most significant effects.Optimal conditions for 80% copper recovery while minimizing iron recovery below 3% included an acid concentration of 1.21 mol L^(-1),a leaching time of 108 min,a particle size of 438μm,a temperature of 45℃,and a solids percentage of 18.2%.Leaching kinetics were analyzed using shrinking core models,with the Dickinson model best describing the process,showing an activation energy of 32.63 kJ mol^(-1),indicative of mixed diffusion and chemical reaction control.The final kinetic model effectively predicted the influence of key parameters.These findings highlight the importance of optimizing process variables and selecting suitable kinetic models to enhance extraction efficiency,reduce costs,and improve sustainability in copper recovery.

文摘The sulfation and decomposition process has proven effective in selectively extracting lithium from lepidolite.It is essential to clarify the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of decomposition reactions.Accordingly,comprehensive kinetic study by employing thermalgravimetric analysis at various heating rates was presented in this paper.Two main weight loss regions were observed during heating.The initial region corresponded to the dehydration of crystal water,whereas the subsequent region with overlapping peaks involved complex decomposition reactions.The overlapping peaks were separated into two individual reaction peaks and the activation energy of each peak was calculated using isoconversional kinetics methods.The activation energy of peak 1 exhibited a continual increase as the reaction conversion progressed,while that of peak 2 steadily decreased.The optimal kinetic models,identified as belonging to the random nucleation and subsequent growth category,provided valuable insights into the mechanism of the decomposition reactions.Furthermore,the adjustment factor was introduced to reconstruct the kinetic mechanism models,and the reconstructed models described the kinetic mechanism model more accurately for the decomposition reactions.This study enhanced the understanding of the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of the lepidolite sulfation product decomposition reactions,further providing theoretical basis for promoting the selective extraction of lithium.

文摘Diacylglycerol(DAG)is a functional oil that can reduce body fat accumulation and postprandial triglycerides.In this study,lipase-catalyzed esterification of oleic acid with glycerol was investigated to elucidate the kinetics and selectivity of each reaction step.1H NMR monitoring revealed equilibrated positional isomerization among acylglycerols:sn-1 monoolein comprised 97.3%of total monoacylglycerols,and sn-1,3 diolein comprised 73.3%of total diacylglycerols.Acyl migration(isomer equilibration)occurred faster than overall esterification.The observed rate constants for successive esterification steps(glycerol→monoacylglycerol,monoacylglycerol→diacylglycerol,diacylglycerol→triacylglycerol)were 0.01068,0.00615,and 0.00304 min^(-1),respectively,indicating progressively slower reaction rates for larger acylglycerol species.Furthermore,molecular distillation at 200–220℃ purified the DAG without altering its fatty acid profile.These findings establish a kinetic model of the three-step esterification and highlight the importance of acyl migration in enzymatic DAG synthesis.

文摘The hydrogen reduction kinetics of tungsten trioxide(WO_(3))was investigated via non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis.Under the local gas-solid reduction conditions,the particle morphology of tungsten powders was found to be consistent with that of raw material WO_(3).The removal of oxygen from tungsten oxide during hydrogen reduction led to the formation of porous structures between the reduced particles,which were obviously different from the polyhedral single-crystal configuration of tungsten powders obtained via chemical vapor deposition.Moreover,the two-stage hydrogen reduction mechanisms of WO_(3) under the local gas-solid reduction conditions can be described using the composite autocatalytic function.The activation energies of the first and second stages of the hydrogen reduction of WO_(3) were determined to be 121 and 135 kJ/mol,respectively.

文摘The crystallization and aggregation characteristics of the active layer components in organic solar cells(OSCs)are one of the core factors determining photovoltaic performance,influencing the entire process from light absorption to charge separation,transport,and ultimately charge collection.Dynamic changes in crystallization and aggregation states can also disrupt the microstructure of the active layer,thus shortening the lifetime of the cell.In this study,a morphology modulation strategy is proposed to regulate the crystallization kinetics of non-fullerene acceptors by employing the polymer molecule PYIT as a nucleating agent.An appropriate amount of PYIT was first completely dissolved with the non-fullerene acceptor Y6 and left to stand for 24 h,followed by the fabrication of layer-by-layer processed OSCs.Experiments demonstrated that high crystallinity of PYIT allows it to act as a crystallization nucleus,promoting the crystallization,orientation consistency,and ordered stacking of the acceptor.These nanoscale structural optimizations facilitate efficient charge transport,enhance exciton dissociation efficiency,and suppress unfavorable energetic disorder.Consequently,not only was the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of D18-Cl/Y6-based layer-by-layer processed OSC increased from 18.08%to 19.13%,but the atmospheric stability and long-term lifetime of the OSCs were also significantly improved.Notably,this strategy is also applicable to indoor OSCs,and the PYIT-optimized device can achieve a PCE of 27.0%under 1000 lux light-emitting diode(LED,3200K)irradiation,which is superior to that of the control device(24.2%).This work develops a crystal engineering strategy that is able to simultaneously optimize the microscopic morphology and charge dynamics properties in OSCs,thereby achieving simultaneous improvement in efficiency and stability.
文摘This study explores the thin-layer convective solar drying of Marrubium vulgare L.leaves under conditions typical of sun-rich semi-arid climates.Drying experiments were conducted at three inlet-air temperatures(40℃,50℃,60℃)and two air velocities(1.5 and 2.5 m·s^(-1))using an indirect solar dryer with auxiliary temperature control.Moisture-ratio data were fitted with eight widely used thin-layer models and evaluated using correlation coefficient(r),root-mean-square error(RMSE),and Akaike information criterion(AIC).A complementary heattransfer analysis based on Reynolds and Prandtl numbers with appropriate Nusselt correlations was used to relate flow regime to drying performance,and an energy balance quantified the relative contributions of solar and auxiliary heat.The logarithmic model consistently achieved the lowest RMSE/AIC with r>0.99 across all conditions.Higher temperature and air velocity significantly reduced drying time during the decreasing-rate period,with no constantrate stage observed.On average,solar input supplied the large majority of the thermal demand,while the auxiliary heater compensated short irradiance drops to maintain setpoints.These findings provide a reproducible dataset and a modelling benchmark for M.vulgare leaves,and they support energy-aware design of hybrid solar dryers formedicinal plants in sun-rich regions.

文摘In order to explore the effects of CaO,lignite dust and sawdust on the drying characteristics ofmunicipal sludge at different concentrations,a three-factor three-level regression experiment was carried out based on the results of thermogravimetric experiment and single factor experiment.By fitting three common mathematical models,the Page model with the highest fitting degree was selected to determine the most suitable mathematical model to describe the municipal sludge drying process.In addition,the Box-Behnken design principle in the response surface method was used to analyze the interaction of three factors on the drying characteristics of municipal sludge.The results of the study show that below 100℃is the optimal drying temperature range for municipal sludge.The results of single factor experiments showed that the order of influence of the three factors on sludge drying time was CaO concentration>sawdust concentration>lignite dust concentration.In the single factor experiment,the optimal process parameterswere CaOconcentration 3%,lignite powder concentration 7%,and sawdust concentration 7%.In themulti-factor interaction analysis,the interaction between CaO and sawdust had the most significant effect on the reduction of drying time,and the order of influence was as follows:CaO interaction with sawdust>lignite dust interaction with sawdust>CaO interaction with lignite powder.Further analysis showed that the optimal process ratio was 3%CaO concentration and 3%sawdust concentration.

文摘Inorganic perovskite solar cells(IPSCs),due to their suitable bandgap and superior thermal stability,are ideal candidates for tandem solar cells combined with silicon.However,the development of inorganic perovskite solar cells has been hindered by suboptimal crystallization dynamics that generate detrimental defects in the perovskite lattice.Here,we propose 4-Methoxyphenylphosphonic Acid(4MPA)as a multifunctional additive to address this challenge.P=O in 4MPA establish strong coordination with undercoordinated Pb^(2+),while-OH engage in O...H-O hydrogen bonding interactions with DMSO,effectively weakening the solvent-[PbX_(6)]^(4-)octahedron interaction.This dual functionality facilitates complete and rapid DMA^(+)-to-Cs^(+)cation exchange while regulating crystallization kinetics,thereby optimizing crystal growth.Furthermore,π-π interactions between benzene rings significantly enhance the moisture resistance of the perovskite layer.The optimized device demonstrates a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 21.35%,with unencapsulated devices retaining 93,63%of their initial efficiency after 200-hour continuous operation under ambient conditions(35%relative humidity).

文摘This study investigates four Late Permian Gondwana coals from the Raniganj sub-basin,Damodar Valley and three Early Permian Gondwana coals from the Talcher sub-basin,Mahanadi Valley.The study aims to characterize the kerogen type,hydrocarbon generation potential,thermal maturity,and organic matter composition,as well as to explore the impact of organic matter characteristics on kerogen kinetic parameters,utilizing multi proxy approach.The study further investigates the influence of the mineral matrix on kerogen decomposition kinetics.Based on the Rock-Eval parameters,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)parameters,and vitrinite reflectance(R_(o)),the kerogen is primarily classified as immature/early mature TypeⅢkerogen derived from terrestrial land plants,with minor contribution from TypeⅡkerogen having mainly gas generating potential.The source of the organic matter,as determined by stable carbon isotopic composition(δ^(13)C_(org))values and C/N ratios indicates a primary input from C_(3) terrestrial plants.The presence of enriched collotelinites and liptinites,such as sporinite and resinite,provides evidence for the input of terrestrial higher plants,including both herbaceous and arborescent species.Various indices derived from maceral abundances,including the gelification index(GI),tissue preservation index(TPI),and vegetation index(VI),collectively indicate diverse depositional conditions which range from wet forest swamps to shallow water-covered wet forest swamps and even dry forest swamps.The variation in vitrinite macerals influenced the kerogen type and consequently impacted the kinetic parameters,viz.the distribution of activation energies(E_(a)),kerogen transformation ratio(KTR),and hydrocarbon generation rate(HGR).Among the Talcher coals,shaly coals exhibit different kerogen type and kerogen transformation.This dissimilarity can be attributed to variable maceral compositions.Unlike the Talcher samples,all Raniganj samples show consistent kinetic behaviour despite their sample type(coal/shaly coal)or kerogen type(TypeⅢ/mixed TypeⅡ/Ⅲ)owing to comparable liptinite/vitrinite maceral composition.This study reveals that whilst the presence of mineral matrix shifts the apparent E_(a) of kerogen through interactions like adsorption and catalysis,it does not significantly affect the kerogen type,HGR,or KTR of the studied coals.

文摘Layered double hydroxides(LDHs)hold great promise as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs).Nevertheless,they also face challenges of sluggish kinetics and rapid capacity loss.Herein,a conformational entropy regulation strategy has been applied to surmount the shortcomings.A medium-entropy iron-based metal organic framework(MIL-88)derived NiCoFeInZnV-based layered double hydroxide with carbon loaded(ME-NiCoFeInZnV-LDH/C)has been first proposed and prepared with a designed method.The increased entropy optimizes electron conductivity and alleviates structure alteration and diffusion barrier during interactions with charge carriers,due to electron-induced effect and“cocktail”effect.Moreover,the nanosheet assembled hollow prismatic structures could homogenize flux distribution and electric field distribution.Therefore,the electrochemical kinetics,crystal structure stability,and activity could be dramatically improved.Leveraging the advantages of structure and composition regulation,Zn||ME-NiCoFeInZnV-LDH/C zinc battery delivers high specific capacities,rate performance,and cycling stability.This work proposes a novel and feasible medium-entropy strategy to prepare a high-performance cathode for advanced AZIBs,which is of prominent significance for the development of charge storage devices.

文摘Single-pass and double-pass high-temperature deformation experiments were conducted on 40Cr10Si2Mo steel using a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator.The static recrystallization(SRX)behavior and recrystallization mechanisms of 40Cr10Si2Mo steel were investigated under deformation temperatures of 900-1100℃,deformation strains of 10%,20%,and 30%,and inter-pass times of 1-120 s.A static recrystallization fraction model was developed.The results showed that the SRX volume fraction increased with higher deformation temperature,larger deformation amount,and longer inter-pass time,with the deformation temperature having the most significant effect on SRX.During the deformation process,different process parameters led to different internal deformation mechanisms of the material.Static recovery and continuous static recrystallization(CSRX)dominated deformation at lower temperatures through progressive lattice rotation.In comparison,at higher temperatures,the deformation mechanism was dominated by CSRX and discontinuous static recrystallization(DSRX).The nucleation mechanisms of the SRX process were grain boundary bulging nucleation and subgrain merging nucleation,with grain boundary bulging present under all conditions.Subgrain merging nucleation could provide an additional nucleation mode at lower deformation temperatures or lower deformation amounts.Based on the traditional Avarmi equation,a modified model coefficient was used to establish the SRX kinetic model for 40Cr10Si2Mo steel.The linear correlation coefficient R^(2) between the predicted and experimental static recrystallization volume fraction was 0.96702,indicating high prediction accuracy.
文摘Hydrocarbon generation kinetics are influenced by complex factors,including temperature,reaction time,pressure,and molecular structure,which render simple modeling approaches inadequate for accurately simulating methane generation.The closed-system pyrolysis experiment,a common method to study hydrocarbon generation,poses challenges for kinetic parameter regression due to limited data points.This limitation necessitates the application of sophisticated data analysis techniques to extract meaningful insights from sparse experimental data.This paper establishes a quantitative relationship between methane production and the thermal process through closed system pyrolysis experiments.A nonlinear regression model using multiple algorithms is established based on this quantitative relationship.Accordingly,a method that can quantitatively invert the methane generation kinetic parameters corresponding to the samples based on the experimental data is provided.Based on this theoretical model,a computer program capable of processing experimental data is designed and implemented.Practical analyses are performed using the method above for three samples:a coal sample from the Yulong,Guizhou;a solid bitumen sample from Guangyuan,Sichuan;and a marlstone sample containing type Ⅰ kerogen from Luquan,Yunnan.The results obtained agree with the qualitative estimates based on hydrocarbon generation kinetic theory using the previous method.Thus,the validity of the new data processing method,the new mathematical model,and the data processing procedures are verified.

文摘The utilization of iron coke provides a green pathway for low-carbon ironmaking.To uncover the influence mechanism of iron ore on the behavior and kinetics of iron coke gasification,the effect of iron ore on the microstructure of iron coke was investigated.Furthermore,a comparative study of the gasification reactions between iron coke and coke was conducted through non-isothermal thermogravimetric method.The findings indicate that compared to coke,iron coke exhibits an augmentation in micropores and specific surface area,and the micropores further extend and interconnect.This provides more adsorption sites for CO_(2) molecules during the gasification process,resulting in a reduction in the initial gasification temperature of iron coke.Accelerating the heating rate in non-isothermal gasification can enhance the reactivity of iron coke.The metallic iron reduced from iron ore is embedded in the carbon matrix,reducing the orderliness of the carbon structure,which is primarily responsible for the heightened reactivity of the carbon atoms.The kinetic study indicates that the random pore model can effectively represent the gasification process of iron coke due to its rich pore structure.Moreover,as the proportion of iron ore increases,the activation energy for the carbon gasification gradually decreases,from 246.2 kJ/mol for coke to 192.5 kJ/mol for iron coke 15wt%.

文摘Electrical energy can be harvested from the rotational kinetic energy of moving bodies,consisting of both mechanical and kinetic energy as a potential power source through electromagnetic induction,similar to wind energy applications.In industries,rotational bodies are commonly present in operations,yet this kinetic energy remains untapped.This research explores the energy generation characteristics of two rotational body types,disk-shaped and cylinder-shaped under specific experimental setups.The hardware setup included a direct current(DC)motor driver,power supply,DC generator,mechanical support,and load resistance,while the software setup involved automation testing tools and data logging.Electromagnetic induction was used to harvest energy,and experiments were conducted at room temperature(25℃)with controlled variables like speed and friction.Results showed the disk-shaped body exhibited higher energy efficiency than the cylinder-shaped body,largely due to lower mechanical losses.The disk required only two bearings,while the cylinder required four,resulting in lower bearing losses for the disk.Additionally,the disk experienced only air friction,whereas the cylinder encountered friction from a soft,uneven rubber material,increasing surface contact losses.Under a 40 W resistive load,the disk demonstrated a 17.1%energy loss due to mechanical friction,achieving up to 15.55 J of recycled energy.Conversely,the cylinder body experienced a 48.05%energy loss,delivering only 51.95%of energy to the load.These insights suggest significant potential for designing efficient energy recycling systems in industrial settings,particularly in manufacturing and processing industries where rotational machinery is prevalent.Despite its lower energy density,this system could be beneficially integrated with energy storage solutions,enhancing sustainability in industrial practices.
