But there is less scholars study on asymmetric dual-rotor small axial fan, which is one of the contra-rotating dual-rotor axial fans. Like axial fan, many factors have influence on the performance of the asymmetric dual-rotor small axial flow fan, such as the wheel hub ratio, blade shape, blade number, stagger angle and the tip clearance. Because wheel hub ratio has great impact on the performance of the fan, we choose the size of wheel hub ratio as a variable factor to study the model change. There is a different wheel hub ratio between front stage impeller and rear stage of asymmetric dual-rotor small axial fan, so it is very beneficial to select the greater wind area that the fan area of external diameter minuses the area occupied by the blades and the hub as front stage impeller. In this paper, the hub-ratio of front stage impeller is 0.72, and that of rear stage is 0.72, 0.67 and 0.62 respectively along with the front stage impeller. Three kinds of models with different hub ratio of rear stage are simulated using the CFD software and the static characteristics are obtained. Based on the experimental test results, the internal flow field of the asymmetric dual-rotor small axial fan is analyzed in detail, the impact trends of different hub-ratio on the performance of asymmetric dual-rotor small axial fan are obtained and the argument of structure optimization for dual-rotor small axial fan is provided.展开更多

文摘The chemo-,regio-,and enantio-controlled synthesis of P-chiral phosphines in a general and efficient manner remains a significant synthetic challenge.In this study,a Pd-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization is developed for the highly selective synthesis of P-stereogenic alkenylphosphinates and alkenylphosphine oxides via conjugate addition of enynes.Notably,this methodology is suitable for both phosphine oxide and phosphinate nucleophiles,providing a versatile approach for the construction of diverse P-chiral organophosphosphorus compound.

文摘An enantioselective catalytic method for the direct [4 + 1] annulation of yne–allylic acetates with pyrazolones has been realized by a copper-catalyzed remote strategy. A variety of enantioenriched spiropyrazolones are rapidly accessed in high yields with moderate to good enantiocontrol. The facile follow-up transformations highlight its potential utility in the synthesis of diverse spiropyrazolones building blocks.

文摘The Meinwald rearrangement has proven to be one of the most useful tools in organic synthesis.However,examples of asymmetric Meinwald rearrangements are quite scarce,and these reactions have so far been limited to the use of chiral Br?nsted acids as catalysts.Here,we report a copper-catalyzed asymmetric cascade cyclization/Meinwald rearrangement reaction,allowing the practical and atom-economic synthesis of a range of chiral tricyclic pyrroles bearing a chiral oxa-quaternary carbon stereocenter in high yields and enantioselectivities.Thus,this protocol not only represents the first transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective Meinwald rearrangement,but also constitutes the first example of asymmetric formal monocarbon insertion into C-O bond of ester.Moreover,theoretical calculations provide further evidence for this multiple cascade cyclization and elucidate the origin of enantioselectivity.

文摘Electrocatalytic oxidation of surplus ethylene glycol(EG)to high-value glycolic acid(GA)represents a promising approach for sustainable resource utilization,though critical challenges persist in developing durable electrocatalysts and achieving effective recovery of the free acid product from its salt derivatives in alkaline electrolytes.In this work,a PdNi/NF catalyst was rationally synthesized via a one-step electrodeposition method.Systematic characterization revealed that the electron transfer from Ni to Pd modulates *OH adsorption to accelerate EG oxidation reaction(EGOR)while preventing Pd deactivation through oxidation.The optimized system demonstrated exceptional alkaline performance with a glycolic acid Faraday efficiencyof 95%and a current density of 666 mA·cm^(-2).When implemented in an asymmetric EGOR||HER flowcell configuration where only the cathodic electrolyte contains alkaline,the system demonstrated exceptional operational stability by sustaining 70 mA·cm^(-2) current density at a low cell voltage of 0.9 V in neutral media for over 100 h,with product glycolic acid requiring no further acidification.This investigation provides a practical framework for designing efficientelectrocatalytic systems that simplifiesproduct separation steps.

文摘The concept of non-Hermitian mechanics introduces new dimensions to metamaterial research,yet current studies have primarily focused on wave manipulation,neglecting the vibration transmittance characteristics of finite-size metamaterials with boundary reflections.This paper explores the asymmetric vibration transmittance characteristics of a simply supported NonHermitian Metamaterial Panel(NHMP)with two lossy resonators,under the impact of supersonic aerodynamic forces.By examining the non-Hermiticity of a non-aerodynamically loaded NHMP and a host panel aeroelastic system separately,we demonstrate that the NHMP subjected to supersonic aerodynamic force is a complex non-Hermitian system,exhibiting asymmetric vibration transmittance driven by both the fluid-structure interaction effect and lossy resonators.We theoretically and numerically clarify that an ideal aeroelastic system,such as a host panel aeroelastic system,functions as a non-Hermitian mechanical system due to the fluid-structure interaction effect,with the critical flutter point aligning with the Exceptional Point(EP).The results of this study indicate that at low dynamic pressures,the lossy resonators primarily govern asymmetric vibration transmittance,whereas at high dynamic pressures,the fluid-structure interaction effect becomes the dominant factor.Notably,at the EP,asymmetric vibration transmittance is unaffected by the mass ratio of lossy resonators,which is attributed to the invariance of the operational deflection shapes of the NHMP at the EP.This study offers a novel perspective on panel aeroelastic systems and nonHermitian metamaterials,advancing the field through its comprehensive analyses.
