In order to visually illustrate how the vanadium-bearing minerals were separated from system, a loose-stratification model was established with Bagnold shear loose theory and Kelly stratification hypothesis. Through the model, it was inferred that fine fraction and coarse fraction of vanadium-bearing muscovite particles easily became the concentrate in roughing and scavenging stages, respectively. The type of the dominant effect on the loose-stratification was confirmed. In the roughing stage, gravity sedimentation played a leading role in the loose-stratification process. However, in the scavenging stage, shearing dispersion pressure caused by asymmetric motion of table deck took an important part in the loose-stratification process. Finally, the correction of the loose-stratification model was validated by the practical experiment.展开更多

Due to the viscosity and elasticity, the assembly force could relax when the silicone rubber is compressed in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. In this work, the stress relaxation behavior of silicone rubber samples is studied under different temperatures and simulated operating conditions. The results show that the stress relaxes exponentially with time at 25% strain level, especially at higher temperature or with higher acid concentration solution. The three-term Prony series can simulate the viscoelastic behavior well, and the Master curves are established by applying a time–temperature superposition method to estimate the life of the samples. It can save approximately 50% and 78% of the test time when an operating temperature and acid solution are chosen appropriately.展开更多

Time-varying relaxation loss was considered in the new model. Moreover, prestressed reinforcement with varying lengths(caused by the shrinkage and creep of concrete) might influence the final values and the time-varying function of the forecast relaxation loss. Hence, the effects of concrete shrinkage and creep were considered when calculating prestress loss, which reflected the coupling relation between these effects and relaxation loss in concrete. Hence, the forecast relaxation loss of prestressed reinforcement under the effects of different initial stress levels at any time point can be calculated using the modified model. To simplify the calculation, the integral expression of the model can be changed into an algebraic equation. The accuracy of the result is related to the division of the periods within the ending time of deriving the final value of the relaxation loss of prestressed reinforcement. When the time division is reasonable, result accuracy is high. The modified model works excellently according to the comparison of the test results. The calculation result of the modified model mainly reflects the prestress loss values of prestressed reinforcement at each time point, which confirms that adopting the finding in practical applications is reasonable.展开更多

Buffering capacity of soil Zn and Mn (b-Zn and Mn) was obtained from the ratio of ad-Zn and Mn to the solu-Zn and Mn. The concerned traces in pine seedling needles (ndls), stems(sts) and roots (rts) were simultaneously measured. The results obtained show that:About 60% of solu- and ad- Zn ranged from 0.2 to 0.4 and from 1 to 2μ/g soil respectively. About 70% of b-Zn was within) 3-10.The highest content of solu-Zn compared with the lowest showed a discrepancy of more than 10-fold. The two forms of soil Zn were commonly higher in Wilson than in Hayward Nursery.About 80% of solu-, ad- and b-Mn were within 3-10, 5-5.8 μg/ g soil and 1-2 respectively. Influence of low buffering capacity on solu-Zn and Mn was about 20 times stronger than that of the high.The E-value, a ratio of accumulated Zn and Mn in needles to those in the soil solution, is proved to be: E-Zn > E-Mn;E-sts> E-ndls or E-rts; and E-2y > E-3y.Curvilinear and/ or linear correlations between soil solu-, ad- and b-Zn and Mn and ndls-, sts-, rts-Zn and Mn were at very significant or significant levels.For predicting ndls-Zn and Mn, two realizable and simple models from two regression equations were established through the selection of related parameters and dependent variables. Binary regression analysis basically eliminated the influence of soil pH on the prediction of Zn and Mn in needles. Soil pH was thus thought to be excluded from the model.展开更多

Periodic law is restricted by astronomical factors, random law is restricted by atmospheric circulation, and basin-wide law is restricted by underlying surface. The commensurability method was used to identify the almost period law, the wave method was applied to deducing the random law, and the precursor method was applied in order to forecast runoff magnitude for the current year. These three methods can be used to assess each other and to forecast runoff. The system can also be applied to forecasting wet years, normal years and dry years for a particular year as well as forecasting years when floods with similar characteristics of previous floods, can be expected. Based on hydrological climate data of Baishan (1933-2009) and Nierji (1886-2009) in the Songhua River Basin, the forecasting results for 2010 show that it was a wet year in the Baishan Reservoir, similar to the year of 1995; it was a secondary dry year in the Nierji Reservoir, similar to the year of 1980. The actual water inflow into the Baishan Reservoir was 1.178 × 10 10 m 3 in 2010, which was markedly higher than average inflows, ranking as the second highest in history since records began. The actual water inflow at the Nierji station in 2010 was 9.96 × 10 9 m 3 , which was lower than the average over a period of many years. These results indicate a preliminary conclusion that the methods proposed in this paper have been proved to be reasonable and reliable, which will encourage the application of the chief reporter release system for each basin. This system was also used to forecast inflows for 2011, indicating a secondary wet year for the Baishan Reservoir in 2011, similar to that experienced in 1991. A secondary wet year was also forecast for the Nierji station in 2011, similar to that experienced during 1983. According to the nature of influencing factors, mechanisms and forecasting methods and the service objects, mid-to long-term hydrological forecasting can be divided into two classes:mid-to long-term runoff forecasting, and severe floods and droughts forecasting. The former can be applied to quantitative forecasting of runoff, which has important applications for water release schedules. The latter, i.e., qualitative disaster forecasting, is important for flood control and drought relief. Practical methods for forecasting severe droughts and floods are discussed in this paper.展开更多

This study proposes an approach applying the fundamental equation of earth moving mechanics for calculating the soil passive reaction acting on a rotating fiat disc blade as used on a zero-till single disc seeder. The study considers the effects of disc variable depth of cut, sweep and tilt angles, free rotation and a scrubbing reaction at the beveled edge. This paper outlines the modeling approach and prediction results for a fixed circular blade operating at 90° sweep angle over a range of speeds and at two tilt angles. To account for the varying depth across the circular disc shape width, elemental wide blade force reactions acting on wide blade segments of elemental width were integrated across the disc working width. By including inertia forces due to speed as well as additional bulldozing forces due to the loose soil accumulation in front of the blade the draught and upward vertical forces acting on the vertical disc blade were predicted with a deviation of 6%-19% and 1.5%-14% from measured data, respectively. The model was able to predict the effect of increasing the tilt angle from 0° to 20° on reducing both draught and upward vertical forces. Further development and validation of the model will be described in subsequent papers, reflecting a step by step approach of increasing complexity to model a disc blade as used on a zero-till single disc seeding system.展开更多

For comparison, the epoxy resin system with petroleum sourced hardener methylhexahydrophthalicanhydride （MHHPA） was also examined. The curing behaviour and mechanism were investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） analysis and Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectra. The results showed that the curing course of bio-based epoxy resin system containing RAM included two stages, which were the reaction between the free carboxyl group of RAM and oxirane ring under the acceleration of IMA, and the main reaction attributed to the reaction between anhydride and oxirane. According to Kissinger method, the reaction activation energy （E,） of two stages were 68.9 and 86.5kJmo1-1, respectively. The Eo of EP/MHHPA and EP/IMA resin system were 81.04 and 77.9kJmol-I. The processing property of EP/RAM/IMA system, i.e. the relationship between viscosity-temperature-time, was characterized by cone-plate viscometer aim to decide the processing parameter ofprepreg preparation. The effect of RAM content on mechanical performance and dynamic mechanical property was investigated. Noteworthily, compared with the laminates with EP/MHHPA as matrix, the laminates with RAM as hardeners achieved a 44%, 73% and 70℃ increase in bending strength, bending modulus and the glass transition temperature, respectively, due to the bulky hydrogenated phenanthrene ring structure incorporated into the cross-linking networks. When the fiber volume fraction reached 47%, the mechanical property of the laminates prepared with hot melt prepreg was superior or comparable to that of composites with pure petroleum sourced matrix. RAM as cross-linking agent of epoxy resin holds a great potential to satisfy the requirement of composites such as structure and secondary structure parts preparation.展开更多

The relationship between drying medium conditions and drying rate of wood reveals that, firstly, compared with process of air-drying, time needed to be preheated under vacuum-floating decreased dramatically, meanwhile,the magnitude of condensation on the surface is relatively larger. Secondly, drying rate of wood under vacuum-floating pressure increases coupled with temperature of medium, reduction of absolute pressure,and raise of fluctuation rate of pressure. The sequence of factors contribution to drying rate is listed as following: temperature of medium (t) > fluctuation rate of pressure (f)> absolute pressure (p).展开更多

A total of 54 oil/heavy-oil samples and 17 oil sands were analyzed and quantified using both comprehensive 2D gas chromatog raphy （GCxGC） and comprehensive 2D gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry （GCxGC/TOFMS）. The results show that crude oil in the West slope is mainly heavy oil and its hydrocarbon composition is characterized overall by paraf fins 〉 mono-aromatics 〉 naphthenes 〉 non-hydrocarbons 〉 di-aromatics 〉 tri-aromatics 〉 tetra-aromatics. Aromatics are most abundant and non-hydrocarbons are least abundant, whilst content differences among paraffins, naphthenes, aromatics, and non-hydrocarbons are less than 15%. There are two types of heavy oil, secondary type and mixing type. Biodegradation is the main formation mechanism of heavy oil. Biodegradation levels cover light biodegradation, moderate biodegradation, and se- vere biodegradation. With increasing biodegradation, paraffin content decreases while contents of aromatics and non- hydrocarbons increase. In contrast, naphthene content increases first and then decreases with increasing biodegradation. In se- vere biodegradation stage, naphthenes decrease more quickly than aromatics and non-hydrocarbons. This provides a new method for studying oil/heavy-oil biodegradation mechanism and biodegradation resistance of different hydrocarbons at dif- ferent biodegradation stages. In the Longhupao-Daan terrace and Qijia-Gulong depression, most crude oil is conventional oil. Its composition is dominated by paraffins with the lowest content of aromatics. In some casual oil wells from the Long- hupao-Daan terrace, crude oil from Saertu oil reservoirs is moderately biodegraded whereas crude oil from Putaohua oil reser voir is lightly biodegraded. Chemical parameters using saturate hydrocarbons and aromatics are usually not suitable for deter mining organic type and thermal maturity of biodegraded oil, especially of moderately or severely biodegraded oil, whilst Ts/（Ts＋Tm） ratio can be used to determine thermal maturity of both conventional crude oil and heavy oil.展开更多

With increasing biodegradation, paraffin content decreases while contents of aromatics and non- hydrocarbons increase. In contrast, naphthene content increases first and then decreases with increasing biodegradation. In se- vere biodegradation stage, naphthenes decrease more quickly than aromatics and non-hydrocarbons. This provides a new method for studying oil/heavy-oil biodegradation mechanism and biodegradation resistance of different hydrocarbons at dif- ferent biodegradation stages. In the Longhupao-Daan terrace and Qijia-Gulong depression, most crude oil is conventional oil. Its composition is dominated by paraffins with the lowest content of aromatics. In some casual oil wells from the Long- hupao-Daan terrace, crude oil from Saertu oil reservoirs is moderately biodegraded whereas crude oil from Putaohua oil reser voir is lightly biodegraded. Chemical parameters using saturate hydrocarbons and aromatics are usually not suitable for deter mining organic type and thermal maturity of biodegraded oil, especially of moderately or severely biodegraded oil, whilst Ts/（Ts＋Tm） ratio can be used to determine thermal maturity of both conventional crude oil and heavy oil.
