文摘Pump valve pipeline vibration brings serious safety hazards to the operation of the equipment,for the pump valve system in the process of variable flow,variable speed,variable openings lead to excessive pipeline vibration.An active damping device(ADD)is used to the vibration of the pump valve pipeline system to apply the control force,to achieve the active control of the pipeline vibration.A pump-valve pipeline vibration test bench was built to compare the control effect of active damping device on pipeline vibration under different pump valve working conditions,and the results show that applying ADD control could effectively suppress the vibration of the pump valve pipeline and enhance the stability of the equipment during operation.At different pump operating rotation frequencies,the vibration amplitude of the pump valve pipeline in working frequency and its multiple frequencies are also effectively suppressed,with the maximum amplitude reduction of more than 60%.For the valve vibration caused by different operating openings,the vibration of the highest reduction of 68%,and the centrifugal pump drive shaft vi-bration reduced by up to 73%,which provides a new idea for vibration control of pump valve pipeline system.

文摘The conventional feedforward hybrid active noise control(FFHANC)system combines the advantages of the feedforward narrowband active noise control(FFNANC)system and the feedforward broadband active noise control(FFBANC)system.To enhance its adaptive adjustment capability under frequency mismatch(FM)conditions,this paper introduces a narrowband frequency adaptive estimation module into the conventional FFHANC system.This module integrates an autoregressive(AR)model and a linear cascaded adaptive notch filter(LCANF),enabling accurate reference signal frequency estimation even under significant FM.Furthermore,in order to improve the coherence between narrowband and broadband components in the system’s error signal and its corresponding control filter for the conventional FFHANC system,this paper proposes an algorithm based on autoregressive bandpass filter bank(AR-BPFB)for error separation.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FFHANC system maintains robust performance under high FM conditions and effectively suppresses hybrid-band noise.The AR-BPFB algorithm significantly elevates the convergence speed of the FFHANC system.

文摘To enhance the low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)capability of emerging power systems with increasing penetration of renewable energy while addressing issues such as the slow response speed of traditional proportional-integral(PI)control,high model accuracy requirements,and complex system parameter tuning,this paper proposes a droop-controlled converter reactive power support strategy based on first-order linear active disturbance rejection control(LADRC).First,a mathematical model of a droop-controlled grid-forming(GFM)converter is established.A model equivalence method is then proposed to transform the dynamic characteristics of the control loop into equivalent impedance parameters.Based on the equivalent impedance parameter model,the influencing factors of the converter terminal voltage and point of common coupling(PCC)voltage are derived.Next,a first-order linear active disturbance rejection control strategy is introduced into the traditional droop control framework,and the controller parameters are optimized via the bandwidth tuning method.Finally,a simulation model of the droop-controlled GFM converter based on the linear active disturbance rejection controller is constructed on the PSCAD/EMTDC platform,and through comparative experiments under typical grid fault conditions,the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in improving the system fault ride-through capability and voltage support is verified.

文摘Corrosion activities and related accidents are significant issues for marine facilities,leading to considerable economic losses.Waterborne epoxy(EP)coating has been seen as one of the optimal options for corrosion protection due to its stable properties and eco-friendliness(0 g/L volatile organic compounds).Nevertheless,several intrinsic deficiencies require improvement,such as fragile mechanical properties and defects(macro and micro),resulting in the continuous deterioration of comprehensive coating performances.In this work,a novel nanocomposite coating with mechanical enhancement,intelligent self-reporting,and active protection is fabricated by integrating the functionalized and compatible graphene oxide/cerium based metal-organic framework multiscale structure(GO-CeMOF-P/M).Notably,the homogenous dispersion of GO-CeMOF-P/M and its chemical interaction with the polymer matrix effectively reduces the defects resulting from solution volatilizing and enhances the compactness,which boosts the tensile strength(32.1 MPa/8.5%)and dry adhesion force(5.8 MPa)of the coating.Additionally,the controllable responsiveness and release of multiscale nanocomposite within external environments endow intelligent active protection and self-reporting characteristics for the GO-CeMOF-P/M-EP coating,making it especially suitable for a variety of practical marine applications.Furthermore,following immersion of 80 d in the aggressive environment,Zf=0.01 Hz value of GO-CeMOF-P/M-EP coating is 1.2×10^(10)Ωcm^(2),which is 164.4 times larger than that of EP coating(7.3×10^(7)Ωcm^(2)),demonstrating remarkably strengthened anti-corrosion ability.Consequently,by offering an intriguing design strategy,the current work anticipates addressing the inherent deficiencies of EP coating and facilitating its practicality and feasibility in real sea environments.

文摘Precipitation is often used for the preparation of La(OH)_(3)with precipitants of liquid alkali and ammonia.To solve the problems of high cost and wastewater pollution caused by common precipitants,the active MgO synthesized by pyrolysis was used as the precipitant to prepare La(OH)_(3).The species distribution of LaCl_(3)and LaCl_(3)-MgCl_(2)mixed system solution was calculated,and the kinetic analysis of the precipi-tation process was carried out to confirm the key factors influencing the precipitation of La(OH)_(3).The results show that La(OH)_(3)with D_(50)of 5.57μm,a specific surface area of 25.70 m^(2)/g,a rod-like shape,and MgO content of 0.044 wt%,was successfully prepared by adding active MgO.The precipitation ratio of La reaches 99.92%.The La(OH)_(3)precipitation is controlled by the diffusion process.The activity of MgO has a significant influence on MgO content in the precipitate.The preparation of La(OH)_(3)by active MgO provides a potential way for an eco-friendly preparation method of rare earth.

文摘In clinical practice,antibiotics have historically been utilized for the treatment of pathogenic bacteria.However,the gradual emergence of antibiotic resistance among bacterial strains has posed a significant challenge to this approach.In 2022,Escherichia coli,a Gram-negative bacterium renowned for its widespread pathogenicity and high virulence,emerged as the predominant pathogenic bacterium in China.The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant E.coli strains has rendered antibiotics insufficient to fight E.coli infections.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has made remarkable contributions to the health of Chinese people for thousands of years,and its significant therapeutic effects have been proven in clinical practice.In this paper,we provide a comprehensive review of the advances and mechanisms of TCM and its active ingredients against antibiotic-resistant E.coli infections.First of all,this review introduces the classification,antibiotic resistance characteristics and mechanisms of E.coli.Then,the TCM formulas and extracts are listed along with their active ingredients against E.coli,including extraction solution,minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC),and the antibacterial mechanisms.In addition,there is growing evidence supporting the synergistic therapeutic strategy of combining TCM with antibiotics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant E.coli infections,and we provide a summary of this evidence and its underlying mechanisms.In conclusion,we present a comprehensive review of TCM and highlight its potential and advantages in the prevention and treatment of E.coli infections.We hold the opinion that TCM will play an important role in global health,pharmaceutical development,and livestock farming in the future.

文摘The output feedback active disturbance rejection control of a valve-controlled cylinder electro-hydraulic servo system is investigated in this paper.First,a comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model that encompasses both matched and mismatched disturbances is formulated.Due to the fact that only position information can be measured,a linear Extended State Observer(ESO)is introduced to estimate unknown states and matched disturbances,while a dedicated disturbance observer is constructed to estimate mismatched disturbances.Different from the traditional observer results,the design of the disturbance observer used in this study is carried out under the constraint of output feedback.Furthermore,an output feedback nonlinear controller is proposed leveraging the aforementioned observers to achieve accurate trajectory tracking.To mitigate the inherent differential explosion problem of the traditional backstepping framework,a finite-time stable command filter is incorporated.Simultaneously,considering transient filtering errors,a set of error compensation signals are designed to counter their negative impact effectively.Theoretical analysis affirms that the proposed control strategy ensures the boundedness of all signals within the closed-loop system.Additionally,under the specific condition of only time-invariant disturbances in the system,the conclusion of asymptotic stability is established.Finally,the algorithm’s efficacy is validated through comparative experiments.

文摘Gallium nitride(GaN)single crystal with prominent electron mobility and heat resistance have great potential in the high temperature integrate electric power systems.However,the sluggish charge storage kinetics and inadequate energy densities are bottlenecks to its practical application.Herein,the self-supported GaN/Mn_(3)O_(4) integrated electrode is developed for both energy harvesting and storage under the high temperature environment.The experimental and theoretical calculations results reveal that such integrated structures with Mn-N heterointerface bring abundant active sites and reconstruct low-energy barrier channels for efficient charge transferring,reasonably optimizing the ions adsorption ability and strengthening the structural stability.Consequently,the assembled GaN based supercapacitors deliver the power density of 34.0 mW cm^(-2) with capacitance retention of 81.3%after 10000 cycles at 130℃.This work innovatively correlates the centimeter scale GaN single crystal with ideal theoretical capacity Mn_(3)O_(4) and provides an effective avenue for the follow-up energy storage applications of the wide bandgap semiconductor.

文摘This paper studies the coupling mechanism between the nonlinear stiffness and damping coefficients of Active Elastic Support/Dry Friction Damper(AESDFD)and rotor system.First,parameters for evaluating the vibration reduction characteristics are proposed to facilitate the design of the AESDFD.To achieve this,the nonlinear friction force is initially represented as equivalent stiffness and damping coefficients,based on the ball-plate friction model.Second,three evaluation parameters—optimal slipping displacement,loss factor,and controllability—are proposed to reveal the vibration reduction characteristics of the AESDFD,alongside determining the optimal normal force.Subsequently,the finite element method,in conjunction with the ball-plate friction model,is introduced to formulate the governing equation of a low-pressure rotor system equipped with AESDFDs.The steady-state responses of the AESDFDs-rotor system are solved using the harmonic balance method combined with an efficient iteration method.Finally,the solutions are validated on the AESDFDs-rotor system both numerically and experimentally.The results indicate that controllability effectively assesses the vibration reduction performance of the AESDFD and is relatively insensitive to variations in low normal force.Away from the critical speed,the AESDFD suppresses vibration by altering the resonance position of the rotor system through its stiffness coefficient.Near the critical speed,vibration reduction is achieved primarily through energy dissipation by the damping coefficient.If the loss factor is less than one,the stiffness coefficient can diminish the vibration reduction effect of the damping coefficient.Notably,the optimal normal force of the AESDFD achieves optimal vibration reduction effect.This study reveals that changes in rotor system unbalance do not affect the vibration reduction characteristics of the AESDFD,with the same upper limit to the vibration reduction effect of the AESDFD.

文摘Natural gas hydrate(NGH)has a bright future as a clean energy source with huge reserves.Coring is one of the most direct methods for NGH exploration and research.Preserving the in-situ properties of the core as much as possible during the coring process is crucial for the assessment of NGH resources.However,most existing NGH coring techniques cannot preserve the in-situ temperature of NGH,leading to distortion of the physical properties of the obtained core,which makes it difficult to effectively guide NGH exploration and development.To overcome this limitation,this study introduces an innovative active temperature-preserved coring method for NGH utilizing phase change materials(PCM).An active temperature-preserved corer(ATPC)is designed and developed,and an indoor experimental system is established to investigate the heat transfer during the coring process.Based on the experimental results under different environment temperatures,a heat transfer model for the entire ATPC coring process has been established.The indoor experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the heat transfer model,confirming its validity.This model has reconstructed the temperature changes of the NGH core during the coring process,demonstrating that compared to the traditional coring method with only passive temperature-preserved measures,ATPC can effectively reduce the core temperature by more than 5.25℃.With ATPC,at environment temperatures of 15,20,25,and 30℃,the duration of low-temperature state for the NGH core is 53.85,32.87,20.32,and 11.83 min,respectively.These findings provide new perspectives on temperature-preserving core sampling in NGH and provide technical support for exploration and development in NGH.

文摘In recent years,numer-ous single-atom catalysts(SACs)have been synthesized to activate persulfate(PS)by a non-radical pathway because of its high se-lectivity,and activity for the cata-lyst.Metal-nitrogen-carbon(M-N_(x)-C)has been identified as the key active site in SACs.Although methods for preparing SACs have been extensively reported,a systematic summary of the direct construction of M-N_(x)-C,espe-cially unconventional metal-nitrogen-carbon(UM-N_(x)-C,x≠4),on SACs for PS non-radical activation has still not been reported.The role of the M-N_(x)-C active sites on PS non-radical activation is discussed and methods for the formation of M-N_(x)-C and UM-N_(x)-C active sites in SACs and the effect of catalyst carriers such as carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4)),MOFs,COFs,and other car-bon materials are reviewed.Direct and indirect methods,especially for UM-N_(x)-C active site formation,are also elaborated.Factors affecting the formation of a M-N_(x)-C active site on SACs are also discussed.Prospects for the use of M-N_(x)-C active sites for the non-radical activation of PS by SACs to remove organic contaminants from wastewater are evaluated.
