文摘High-concentration photovoltaic(HCPV)systems present significant thermal management challenges due to the intense heat fluxes generated under concentrated solar irradiation,especially in arid environments.Effective heat dissipation is critical to prevent performance degradation and structural failure.This study investigates the thermal performance and design optimization of an enhanced HCPV module,integrating numerical,analytical,and experimental methods.A coupled optical-thermal-electrical model was developed to simulate ray tracing,heat transfer,and temperature-dependent electrical behaviour,with predictions validated under real-world desert conditions.Compared to a baseline commercial module operating at 106℃,the optimized design achieved a peak temperature reduction of 16℃,lowering the cell temperature to 90℃under a concentration ratio of 961×and direct normal irradiance(DNI)of 950 W/m^(2).The total thermal resistance was reduced from 0.25 to 0.15 K/W(a 40%improvement),and the electrical efficiency increased from 37.5%to 38.6%,representing a relative gain of approximately 3.1%.The system consistently maintained a fill factor exceeding 78%,underscoring stable performance under high thermal load.These findings demonstrate that targeted thermal design,informed by integrated modeling,is essential for unlocking the reliability and efficiency of high-flux solar energy systems.

文摘The integration of the intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT)has emerged as a cost-effective and efficient solution to enhance the performance of information and energy transfer.In this research,a hybrid active/passive IRS-assisted SWIPT system is proposed.Specifically,an active IRS(AIRS)and a passive IRS(PIRS)are deployed in the SWIPT system to facilitate a multiantenna base station(BS)in simultaneously delivering information and energy to multiple information users(IUs)and energy users(EUs).The objective is to maximize the sum throughput by jointly optimizing the transmitter beamforming and the reflection coefficient matrices of the AIRS and the PIRS while satisfying the transmitter power constraints,the energy harvesting(EH)requirements of EUs,and the AIRS amplification power limitations.However,the optimization variables are highly coupled and cannot be solved directly.To tackle this complex problem,we propose an efficient algorithm based on alternating optimization(AO)and semi-definite relaxation(SDR)techniques to obtain high-quality solutions.Simulation results demonstrate that the hybrid active/passive IRSassisted SWIPT system significantly enhances throughput performance and outperforms benchmark systems.

文摘Mitochondria play a crucial role as organelles,managing several physiological processes such as redox balance,cell metabolism,and energy synthesis.Initially,the assumption was that mitochondria primarily resided in the host cells and could exclusively transmit from oocytes to offspring by a mechanism known as vertical inheritance of mitochondria.Recent scholarly works,however,suggest that certain cell types transmit their mitochondria to other developmental cell types via a mechanism referred to as intercellular or horizontal mitochondrial transfer.This review details the process of which mitochondria are transferred across cells and explains the impact of mitochondrial transfer between cells on the efficacy and functionality of cancer cells in various cancer forms.Specifically,we review the role of mitochondria transfer in regulating cellular metabolism restoration,excess reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation,proliferation,invasion,metastasis,mitophagy activation,mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)inheritance,immune system modulation and therapeutic resistance in cancer.Additionally,we highlight the possibility of using intercellular mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic approach to treat cancer and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.

文摘Accurate satellite data assimilation under all-sky conditions requires enhanced parameterization of scattering properties for frozen hydrometeors in clouds.This study aims to develop a nonspherical scattering look-up table that contains the optical properties of five hydrometeor types—rain,cloud water,cloud ice,graupel,and snow—for the Advanced Radiative Transfer Modeling System(ARMS)at frequencies below 220 GHz.The discrete dipole approximation(DDA)method is employed to compute the single-scattering properties of solid cloud particles,modeling these particles as aggregated roughened bullet rosettes.The bulk optical properties of the cloud layer are derived by integrating the singlescattering properties with a modified Gamma size distribution,specifically for distributions with 18 effective radii.The bulk phase function is then projected onto a series of generalized spherical functions,applying the delta-M method for truncation.The results indicate that simulations using the newly developed nonspherical scattering look-up table exhibit significant consistency with observations under deep convection conditions.In contrast,assuming spherical solid cloud particles leads to excessive scattering at mid-frequency channels and insufficient scattering at high-frequency channels.This improvement in radiative transfer simulation accuracy for cloudy conditions will better support the assimilation of allsky microwave observations into numerical weather prediction models.·Frozen cloud particles were modeled as aggregates of bullet rosettes and the optical properties at microwave range were computed by DDA.·A complete process and technical details for constructing a look-up table of ARMS are provided.·The ARMS simulations generally show agreement with observations of MWTS and MWHS under typhoon conditions using the new look-up table.

文摘As mining activities expand deeper,deep high-temperature formations seriously threaten the future safe exploitation,while deep geothermal energy has great potential for development.Combining the formation cooling and geothermal mining in mines to establish a thermos-hydraulic coupling numerical model for fractured formation.The study investigates the formation heat transfer behaviour,heat recovery performance and thermal economic benefits influenced during the life cycle.The results show that the accumulation of cold energy during the cold storage phase induces a decline in formation temperature.The heat recovery phase is determined by the extent of the initial cold domain,which contracts inward from the edge and decelerates the heat recovery rate gradually.With groundwater velocity increases,the thermal regulation efficiency gradually increases,the production temperature decreases,while the effective radius and thermal power increase first and then decrease.The injected volume and temperature significantly affect,with higher injection temperatures slowing thermal recovery,and the thermal regulation efficiency is more sensitive to changes in formation permeability and thermal conductivity.The heat extraction performance is positively correlated with all factors.The levelized cost of electricity is estimated at 0.1203$/(kW·h)during the cold storage.During the heat recovery,annual profit is primarily driven by cooling benefits.

文摘Current research on rail vehicle system vibrations primarily relies on numerical methods,with vibration transfer functions commonly derived through data fitting.However,the physical mechanisms underlying these vibrations are not well understood.To clarify the vibration transfer function and its characteristics,four basic input vectors are defined,and an analytical method is proposed.The vibration transfer functions of the vehicle system are solved,and their spatial coherence is analyzed.The results show that there are two spatial scales and four coherent modes in the vehicle system.The track irregularity wavelengths are combined with two spatial scales to alter the proportions of basic input vectors and then show the characteristics of spatial coherence.Four coherent modes are involved in wheel-rail force and primary suspension force;two coherent modes are involved in bogie vertical motion;and their dominant modes vary with the input frequency.On the other hand,the coherent modes involved in the bogie pitching motion and vehicle body motion are single and fixed over the whole range of frequency.This study presents an analytical method for the rapid solution of dynamic responses in vehicle systems and systematically analyzes the coherence behavior of vibration transfer functions with respect to tracking irregularity wavelengths.

文摘The excited state dynamics and critically regulated factors of reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)in through-space charge transfer(TSCT)molecules have received insufficient attention.Here,five molecules of through space/bond charge transfer inducing thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)are prepared,and their excited state charge transfer processes are studied by ultrafast transient absorption and theoretical calculations.DM-Z has a largerΔEST,leading to a longer lifetime of intersystem crossing(ISC),resulting in the lowest photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY).Oppositely,ISC and RISC are demonstrated to take place with shorter lifetimes for TSCT molecules.The face-to-faceπ-πstacking interactions and electron communication enable DM-B and DM-BX to have an efficient RISC,increasing the weight coefficient of RISC from 1.7%(DM-X)to close to 50%(DM-B and DM-BX)in the solvents,which make DM-BX and DM-B to have a high PLQY.However,partial local excitation in the donor center is observed and the charge transfer is decreased for DM-G and DM-X.The triplet excited state(DM-G)or singlet excited state(DM-X)mainly undergoes inactivation through a non-radiative relaxation process,resulting in less RISC and low PLQY.This work provides theoretical hints to enhance the RISC process in the TADF materials.

文摘Solar hydrogen production via water splitting is pivotal for solar energy harnessing,addressing key challenges in energy and environmental sustainability.However,two critical issues persist with single-component photocatalysts:suboptimal carrier transport and inadequate light absorption.While heterojunction-based artificial photosynthetic systems like Z-scheme photocatalysts have been explored,their charge recombination and light harvesting efficiency are still unsatisfactory.S-scheme heterojunctions have gained attention in photocatalysis,owing to their pronounced built-in electric field and superior redox capabilities.In this study,we introduce a MXene-based S-scheme H-TiO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)/Ti_(3)C_(2)heterojunction(TCMX),synthesized through electrostatic self-assembly.The as-prepared TCMX exhibited an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 53.67 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1)surpassing the performance of commercial Rutile TiO_(2),H-TiO_(2),g-C_(3)N_(4),and HTCN.The effectiveness of TCMX is largely due to the builtin electric field in the S-scheme heterojunction and the cocatalytic activity of MXene promoting rapid separation of photogenerated charges and resulting in well-separated electron and hole enriched sites.This study offers a new approach to enhance photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency and paves the way for the future design of S-scheme heterojunctions.

文摘The latent heat thermal energy storage system with solid-liquid phase-change material(SLPCM-LHTES)as energy storage medium provides outstanding advantages such as system simplicity,stable temperature control,and high energy storage density,showing great potential toward addressing the energy storage problems associated with decentralized,intermittent,and unstable renewable energy sources.Notably,effective heat transfer within the SLPCM-LHTES is crucial for extending its application potential.Therefore,a comprehensive understanding of the heat transfer processes in SLPCM-LHTES from a theoretical perspective is necessary.In this review,we propose a three-stage heat transfer pathway in SLPCM-LHTES,including external heating,interfacial heat transfer,and intrinsic phase transition processes.From the perspective of this three-stage pathway,the theoretical basis of heat transfer processes and typical efficiency enhancement strategies in SLPCM-LHTES are summarized.Moreover,an overview of the typical applications of SLPCM-LHTES in various fields,such as building energy efficiency,textiles and garments,and battery thermal management,is presented.Finally,the remaining challenges and possible avenues of research in this burgeoning field will also be discussed.

文摘Achieving artificial simulations of multi-step energy transfer processes and conversions in nature remains a challenge.In this study,we present a three-step sequential energy transfer process,which was constructed through host-vip interactions between a piperazine derivative(PPE-BPI)with aggregationinduced emission(AIE)and cucurbit[7]uril(CB[7])in water to serve as ideal energy donors.To achieve multi-step sequential energy transfer,we employ three distinct fluorescent dyes Eosin B(EsB),Sulforhodamine 101(SR101),and Cyanine 5(Cy5)as energy acceptors.The PPE-PBI-2CB[7]+EsB+SR101+Cy5 system demonstrates a highly efficient three-step sequential energy transfer mechanism,starting with PPEPBI-2CB[7]and transferring energy successively to EsB,SR101,and finally to Cy5,with remarkable energy transfer efficiencies.More interestingly,with the progressive transfer of energy in the multi-step energy transfer system,the generation efficiency of superoxide anion radical(O_(2)•-)increased gradually,which can be used as photocatalysts for selectively photooxidation of N-phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline in an aqueous medium with a high yield of 86%after irradiation for 18 h.This study offers a valuable investigation into the simulation of multi-step energy transfer processes and transformations in the natural world,paving the way for further research in the field.
文摘Furfuryl ethyl ether(FEE)is considered as one of the most important candidates for biofuels due to its high-octane number.However,it is still challenging to produce FEE via the biomass-based route under mild conditions.Here,we developed a photoinduced catalytic transfer hydrogenation(CTH)process for the efficient production of FEE through the reduction etherification of furfural(FF)using Na_(4)W_(10)O_(32)(NaDT),Pd/C,and ethanol as the hydrogen atom transfer(HAT)catalyst,hydrogenation catalyst,and the H donor,respectively.Notably,the introduction of brominated benzene(PhBr)as an additive significantly promoted the yield of FEE to 92.7%.A series of experiments and characterization results indicated that the attachment and detachment of Br atoms on Pd/C catalyst surface effectively regulate the balance between H^(+)sites and Pd sites in the NaDT+Pd/C catalytic system.The balance facilitates the preferential acetalization of FF catalyzed by H^(+)sites,followed by hydrogenation to efficiently produce FEE catalyzed by Pd sites.This photoinduced CTH process exhibits good stability and recyclability as well as universality for the transformation of various organic substrates under mild conditions.

文摘The present study was conducted to examine the trophic transfer of potentially toxic elements(PTEs)in a closed arsenic mine.Eight PTEs in a soil-plant-leaf litter-earthworm-top predators(free-range local chicken and wild passerine bird)system were analyzed for nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes,PTE concentrations,bioaccumulation factors(BAFs),and transfer factors(TFs).The PTE concentrations in soils from mining areas were generally higher than a adjacent controlled area,with As and Cd in soils showing the prominent compared to other six PTEs,as seen for the indices of geo-accumulation index(I_(geo)),pollution index(PI)and potential ecological risk index(RI).The relatively high BAF and TF values suggested a distinct biotransfer of PTEs along the soil-plant-leaf litter-earthworm system.BAFs were mostly<1 except in earthworms,indicating that earthworms had a strong capacity to take up these metals.The TFs varied both among PTEs and organism’s species,e.g.,the transfer capacities of As in Pteris vittata and Pteris cretica,Cd in Miscanthus sinensis,and Pb,Cr and Mn in moss were the highest.For local free-range chicken and wild passerine bird,the concentrations of PTEs were higher in gastric contents and feather than in internal tissue(stomach,liver and heart),with lower contents in muscle and egg.Bioaccumulation of PTEs generally decreased from decomposer earthworms,to primary producer plants,to top predator,indicating a potential bio-dilution tendency in higher trophic levels in the terrestrial food chain.

文摘Aiming at the global design issue of transpiration cooling thermal protection system,a self-driven circulation loop is proposed as the internal coolant flow passage for the transpiration cooling structure to achieve adaptive cooling.To enhance the universality of this internal cooling pipe design and facilitate its application,numerical studies are conducted on this systemwith four commonly used cooling mediums as coolant.Firstly,the accuracy of the numerical method is verified through an established experimental platform.Then,transient numerical simulations are performed on the flow states of different cooling mediums in the new self-circulation system.Based on the numerical result,the flow,phase change,and heat transfer characteristics of different cooling mediums are analyzed.Differences in fluid velocity and latent heat of phase change result in significant variation in heat exchange capacity among different coolingmediums,with the maximumdifference reaching up to 3 times.Besides,faster circulation speed leads to greater heat transfer capacity,with a maximum of 7600 W/m^(2).Consequently,the operating mechanism and cooling laws of the natural circulation system is further investigated,providing a reference for the practical application of this system.

文摘This study presents an emergency control method for sub-synchronous oscillations in wind power gridconnected systems based on transfer learning,addressing the issue of insufficient generalization ability of traditional methods in complex real-world scenarios.By combining deep reinforcement learning with a transfer learning framework,cross-scenario knowledge transfer is achieved,significantly enhancing the adaptability of the control strategy.First,a sub-synchronous oscillation emergency control model for the wind power grid integration system is constructed under fixed scenarios based on deep reinforcement learning.A reward evaluation system based on the active power oscillation pattern of the system is proposed,introducing penalty functions for the number of machine-shedding rounds and the number of machines shed.This avoids the economic losses and grid security risks caused by the excessive one-time shedding of wind turbines.Furthermore,transfer learning is introduced into model training to enhance the model’s generalization capability in dealing with complex scenarios of actual wind power grid integration systems.By introducing the Maximum Mean Discrepancy(MMD)algorithm to calculate the distribution differences between source data and target data,the online decision-making reliability of the emergency control model is improved.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed emergency control method for multi-scenario sub-synchronous oscillation in wind power grid integration systems based on transfer learning is analyzed using the New England 39-bus system.

文摘Continuing advancement in astronomy,space exploration,and scientific detection,has increased demand for infrared multi-band detection systems.Traditional three-band optical systems,designed to simultaneously image at infrared short-wave,mid-wave,and long-wave bands typically rely on dispersive elements,leading to bulky sizes,complex system architectures,low efficiency,and challenges in rapid assembly.To overcome these obstacles,in combination with the latest third-generation infrared detectors,we propose a design for a compact and lightweight three-band optical system,with infrared capabilities in all three required bands.The core of this approach is an integrated design philosophy that emphasizes the high steepness of mirror surfaces.This design achieves uniform correction and optimization of chromatic aberration and off-axis aberration across the spectral range.We introduce a novel integration of optical and mechanical elements to replace traditional assembly,reducing manufacturing and assembly errors,and degrees of freedom,associated with high-power optical elements.Confirming the effectiveness through a combination of simulations and experimental comparisons,the measured mid-wave full-field transfer function exceeds 0.405 at 17 lp/mm,satisfying the imaging requirements of the system.The optical system is lightweight and compact,with a total mass under 408 g and a compact volume of justΦ112 mm×117 mm.This serves as a valuable reference for the engineering application of high-performance,compact multi-band infrared composite detection systems for astronomy and space exploration.

文摘Electrochemically switched ion exchange(ESIX)is an effective technology for extracting high-valueadded ions from dilute solutions.This study focuses on Li^(+)extraction by employing a comprehensive model to analyze interaction between fluidic dynamics,electric field and ion transport.The model combines Butler-Volmer equation modified by electroactive site concentration,Nernst-Planck equation and Navier-Stokes equation.It is found that the chamber width affects solution phase resistance,thereby altering the pote ntial distribution and influencing the current distribution within the membrane.A narrow chamber increases current density in the solid phase of the membrane,enhancing Li^(+) extraction.The solution flow-field not only enhances convective transport but also increases the current density in the solid phase,promoting Li^(+) extraction.There is a synergistic effect between fluid-flow-field and electric-field for ion separation,which is only significant when the chamber width is greater than 2 mm.The synergistic mechanism differs from that in the capacitive deionization system.Therefore,the performance decline caused by a wide chamber can be compensated for by increasing the fluid-flow rate,utilizing the synergistic effect between the flu id-flow-field and electric-field to optimize the lithium extraction efficiency in the ESIX system.
