文摘In order to find closed form solutions of nonintegrable nonlinear ordinary differential equations,numerous tricks have been proposed.The goal of this short review is to explain how a theorem of Eremenko on meromorphic solutions of some nonlinear ODEs together with some classical,19th-century results,can be turned into algorithms(thus avoiding ad hoc assumptions)which provide all(as opposed to some)solutions in a precise class.To illustrate these methods,we present some new such exact solutions,physically relevant.

文摘Morphology and growth rate of carbon dioxide hydrate on the interface between liquid carbon dioxide and humic acid solutions were studied in this work.It was found that after the growth of the hydrate film at the interface,further growth of hydrate due to the suction of water in the capillary system formed between the wall of the cuvette and the end boundary of the hydrate layer occurs.Most probably,substantial effects on the formation of this capillary system may be caused by variations in reactor wall properties,for example,hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance,roughness,etc.We found,that the rate of CO_(2) hydrate film growth on the surface of the humic acid aqueous solution is 4-fold to lower in comparison with the growth rate on the surface of pure water.We suppose that this is caused by the adsorption of humic acid associates on the surface of hydrate particles and,as a consequence,by the deceleration of the diffusion of dissolved carbon dioxide to the growing hydrate particle.

文摘In this paper,we mainly focus on a type of nonlinear Choquard equations with nonconstant potential.Under appropriate hypotheses on potential function and nonlinear terms,we prove that the above Choquard equation with prescribed 2-norm has some normalized solutions by introducing variational methods.

文摘This review details the advancement in the development of V–Ti-based hydrogen storage materials for using in metal hydride(MH)tanks to supply hydrogen to fuel cells at relatively ambient temperatures and pressures.V–Tibased solid solution alloys are excellent hydrogen storage materials among many metal hydrides due to their high reversible hydrogen storage capacity which is over 2 wt%at ambient temperature.The preparation methods,structure characteristics,improvement methods of hydrogen storage performance,and attenuation mechanism are systematically summarized and discussed.The relationships between hydrogen storage properties and alloy compositions as well as phase structures are discussed emphatically.For large-scale applications on MH tanks,it is necessary to develop low-cost and high-performance V–Ti-based solid solution alloys with high reversible hydrogen storage capacity,good cyclic durability,and excellent activation performance.

文摘Hydrogen-enriched ironmaking presents a promising approach to mitigate coke consumption and carbon emission in blast furnace(BF)operations.This work investigated the relationship between the structural features of cokes and their reactivity towards solution loss(SL),especially under hydrogen-enriched atmospheres.Six cokes were characterized,and their SL behaviors were examined under varying atmospheres to elucidate the effects of hydrogen enrichment.The results indicate that an increase in fixed carbon content leads to a decrease in the coke reactivity index(CRI)and an increase in coke strength after reaction(CSR),in the CO_(2) atmosphere,the CSR of coke increases from 35.76%−62.83%,while in the 90CO_(2)/10H_(2) atmosphere,the CSR of coke increases from 65.67%−84.09%.There is a good linear relationship between CRI and microcrystalline structure parameters of coke.Cokes with larger crystalline size,lower amorphous content,and smaller optical texture index(OTI)values show enhanced resistance to degradation and maintain structural integrity in BF.Kinetic analysis performed with the shifted-modified-random pore model(S-MRPM)reveals that alterations in pore structure and intrinsic mineral composition significantly influence the reaction rate.The introduction of a small amount of water vapor raises SL rates,whereas a minor addition of hydrogen(<10%)decelerates SL due to its incomplete conversion to water vapor and the reduced partial pressure of the gasifying agent.Thermodynamic calculations also indicate that the introduced hydrogen does not convert into the same fraction of water vapor.The shift from chemical reaction control to gas diffusion control as the rate-determining step with rising temperatures during SL process was confirmed,and the introduction of hydrogen does not notably alter SL behavior.This result demonstrated that introducing a small amount of hydrogen(<10%)can mitigate SL rates,thereby enhancing coke strength and reducing coke consumption and carbon emissions.
