The effects of fluxing agents on the thermogravimetric properties, phase evolution, and microstructure evolution of MAS/BPF composites were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyses. The results reveal that the addition of a fluxing agent highly reduces the decomposition rate of MAS/BPF composites. Fluxing agents lower the formation temperatures of liquid phases of ceramifiable MAS/BPF composites obviously, and then promote the ceramification and densification process. The final residues of composites are ceramic surrounded by large amount of glass phases.展开更多

Specimens of mixtures including clay and CCA (0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by mass) were used and fired respectively at 1050°C and 1100°C. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were carried out. γ-alumine, mullite, akermanite, anorthite and grossular are new crystalline phases formed. Also, technological properties were determined on fired specimens as a function of CCA mass percentage. The results showed that firing shrinkage increased up to 8.5% for specimens with 10% by mass of CCA, then lessened up to 2% for specimens with 30% by mass of CCA. When fired at 1100°C, the specimens that initially contained 10% by mass of CCA allowed the formation of compact bodies with water absorption of 2% and flexural strength of 32 MPa. Hence, mixed at low percentage with poorly fluxing kaolinite clay, CCA can be used successfully as flux for the production of vitrified ceramics such as stoneware at low temperatures. The mixture of CCA with kaolinitic clay also promotes the formation of mullite and anorthite at low temperature.展开更多

The irradiation capability, which hinges on parameters like neutron flux level, irradiation channels' volume, and fuel cycle duration, is a core indicator for high-flux reactors. We propose a conceptual design of an ultra-high flux fast reactor(UFFR) with strong irradiation capability, which utilizes U-20Pu-10Zr alloy fuel and employs lead-bismuth as the coolant. The maximum neutron flux in the core reaches 1.32×10^(16) cm^(-2)s^(-1), while the average neutron flux in the irradiation channels attains 1.19×10^(16) cm^(-2)s^(-1). The volume of the central irradiation channel exceeds 10000 cm^(3), and the fuel cycle duration is 165 d, placing all its performance indicators among the top in the world. Based on the analyses of reactor physics and thermalhydraulics, it has been demonstrated that all reactivity coefficients are negative and all physical parameters meet the design criteria, ensuring the inherent safety of UFFR. An assessment of the irradiation capability has been carried out based on californium-252(^(252)Cf) production, indicating that the irradiation capability of UFFR surpasses that of the high flux isotope reactor(HFIR). The yield of ^(252)Cf from UFFR is 14.39 times that of HFIR, and its nuclei conversion rate is 3.21 times that of HFIR.展开更多

文摘Fluxing agents of zinc borate, antimony oxide, galss frit A and glass frit B, with different melting or softening point temperatures, were added into MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2/boron phenol formaldehyde resin（MAS/BPF） composites to lower the formation temperature of eutectic liquid phase and promote the ceramification of ceramifiable composites. The effects of fluxing agents on the thermogravimetric properties, phase evolution, and microstructure evolution of MAS/BPF composites were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyses. The results reveal that the addition of a fluxing agent highly reduces the decomposition rate of MAS/BPF composites. Fluxing agents lower the formation temperatures of liquid phases of ceramifiable MAS/BPF composites obviously, and then promote the ceramification and densification process. The final residues of composites are ceramic surrounded by large amount of glass phases.
文摘The aim of this study is to use Cocoa Cortex Ash (CCA) as alternative fluxing agent to manufacture vitrified ceramics at low temperatures from alluvial clay. Specimens of mixtures including clay and CCA (0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by mass) were used and fired respectively at 1050°C and 1100°C. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were carried out. γ-alumine, mullite, akermanite, anorthite and grossular are new crystalline phases formed. Also, technological properties were determined on fired specimens as a function of CCA mass percentage. The results showed that firing shrinkage increased up to 8.5% for specimens with 10% by mass of CCA, then lessened up to 2% for specimens with 30% by mass of CCA. When fired at 1100°C, the specimens that initially contained 10% by mass of CCA allowed the formation of compact bodies with water absorption of 2% and flexural strength of 32 MPa. Hence, mixed at low percentage with poorly fluxing kaolinite clay, CCA can be used successfully as flux for the production of vitrified ceramics such as stoneware at low temperatures. The mixture of CCA with kaolinitic clay also promotes the formation of mullite and anorthite at low temperature.

文摘The large-scale production of high-Ti steels is limited by the formation of Ti-containing oxides or nitrides in steel-slag reactions during continuous casting.These processes degrade mold flux properties,clog submerged entry nozzles,form floaters in the molds,and produce various surface defects on the cast slabs.This review summarizes the effects of nonmetallic inclusions on traditional CaO-SiO_(2)-based(CS)mold fluxes and novel CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-based(CA)low-or non-reactive fluxes containing TiO_(2),BaO,and B_(2)O_(3)additives to avoid undesirable steel,slag,and inclusion reactions,with the aim of providing a new perspective for research and practice related to balancing the lubrication and heat transfer of mold fluxes to promote smooth operation and reduce surface defects on cast slabs.For traditional CS mold flux,although the addition of solvents such as Na_(2)O,Li_(2)O,and B_(2)O_(3)can enhance flowability,steel-slag reactions persist,limiting the effectiveness of CS mold fluxes in high-Ti steel casting.Low-or non-reactive CA mold fluxes with reduced SiO_(2)content are a research focus,where adding other components can significantly change flux characteristics.Replacing CaO with BaO can lower the melting point and inhibit crystallization,allowing the flux to maintain good flowability at low temperatures.Replacing SiO_(2)with TiO_(2)can stabilize the viscosity and enhance heat transfer.To reduce the environmental impact,fluorides are replaced with components such as TiO_(2),B_(2)O_(3),BaO,Li_(2)O,and Na_(2)O for F-frce mold fluxes with similar lubrication,crystallization,and heat-transfer effects.When TiO_(2)replaces CaF_(2),it stabilizes the viscosity and enhances the heat conductivity,forming CaTiO_(3)and CaSiTiO_(5)phases instead of cuspidine to control crystallization.B_(2)O_(3)lowers the melting point and suppresses crystallization,forming phases such as Ca_(3)B_(2)O_(6)and Ca_(11)Si_(4)B_(2)O_(22).BaO introduces non-bridging oxygen to reduce viscosity and ensure flux flowability at low temperatures.However,further studies are required to determine the optimal mold flux compositions corresponding to the steel grades and the interactions between the various components of the mold flux.In the future,the practical application of new mold fluxes for high-Ti steel will become the focus of further verification to achieve a balance between lubrication and heat transfer,which is expected to minimize the occurrence of casting problems and slab defects.

文摘Frequent droughts pose considerable threat to global forest carbon uptake,but little is known about the response of forest carbon fluxes in climatic transition zones to seasonal drought.In this study,the responses of carbon fluxes to seasonal drought in two natural forests(Quercus aliena var.acute serrata Maxim and Pinus tabuliformis Carr.)in the Baotianman Nature Reserve were investigated.The Q.aliena forest exhibited a high resilience with stable gross primary productivity(GPP).However,ecosystem respiration(Re)significantly declined by 18.4%compared with normal years,leading to an increase in net carbon sequestration capacity of 4.1%.This resilience was attributed to its deep root system accessing soil water(SWC_(50cm))to sustain stomatal openness,coupled with the efficient utilization of photosynthetically active radiation to drive photosynthesis.In contrast,the P.tabuliformis forest,which relied on shallow soil moisture(SWC_(20cm)),experienced simultaneous decreases in both GPP and Re during drought,with a sharply greater decrease in GPP,resulting in low net carbon sink capacity.Further analysis revealed that the Q.aliena forest prioritized carbon assimilation through a deep water-stomatal synergy strategy(anisohydric behavior),whereas the P.tabuliformis forest adopted an isohydric strategy favoring water conservation at the expense of carbon fixation efficiency.These findings highlight distinct mechanisms underlying drought adaptation between forest types,providing critical insight into optimizing forest carbon cycle models and selecting drought-resistant species under the influence of climate change.
文摘An atmospheric general circulation model(AGCM)is used to analyze the different impact on the Barents Sea(BS)and Greenland Sea(GS)for a perturbation of sea-to-air DMS flux.We compare contemporary anthropogenic S and contemporary DMS sea-to-air flux(as baseline,B00)sulfur emissions,with contemporary anthropogenic S and a perturbed DMS flux(as modified,B01)sulfur emissions.Results show that the global mean surface DMS and DMS vertically integrated concentration all peaked in June and increases more than 63%in BS and increases about 58%in GS.The concentrations of atmospheric sulfur dioxide vertical integral(SO_(2))and sulfate vertical integral(SO_(4))only increase less than 12%in both regions.Sulfur emission(SEM)peaked in June and increased about 67%and 41%in GS and BS,respectively.Aerosol optical depth(AOD)increases less than 4%in GS and in BS.Surface temperature(TSC)peaked in July and reduces 0.25 K and 0.8 K in GS and BS,respectively.Satellite data from 2003 to 2023show that chlorophyll(CHL)concentration in BS exceeds that of GS by 51%.The AOD in GS is only 0.6%higher than in BS.The recent increased rate of DMS surface concentration in BS(from 6%during 1981–2002 to 18.8%in 2003–2023)is mainly caused by elevated CHL concentrations in BS.Finally,the perturbation on DMS flux leads to increase rate of DMS and related sulfur emissions especially in the BS,this tendency will have an offsetting effect on regional warming.

文摘Lakes are carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and methane(CH_(4))emission hotspots,whose associated flux is spatially vari-able.Many studies have investigated the impact of microorganisms and environmental factors on CO_(2) and CH_(4) emissions between different lakes.However,the carbon emissions and their influencing factors of different areas within a single lake remain poorly understood.Accordingly,this study investigates CO_(2) and CH_(4) emission hetero-geneity in a large floodplain lake system and distribution characteristics of associated functional microorganisms.Findings show that mean CO_(2) and CH_(4) flux values in the sub lake area were 62.03±24.21 mg/(m2·day)and 5.97±3.2μg/(m2·day),which were greater by factors of 1.78 and 2.96 compared to the water channel and the main lake area,respectively.The alpha diversity of methanogens in the sub lake area was lower than that in the main lake and water channel areas.The abundance of methanogens in bottom water layer was higher compared with the middle and surface layers.Conversely,the abundance of methane(CH_(4))-oxidizing bacteria in the surface layer was higher than that in the bottom layer.Additionally,the composition of methanogen and CH_(4)-oxidizing bacterial community,chlorophyll a(Chl-a),pH,total phosphorus(TP)and dissolved organic carbon(DOC)con-tent constituted the dominate driving factors affecting lake C emissions.Results from this study can be used to improve our understanding of lake spatial heterogeneous of CO_(2) and CH_(4) emission and the driving mechanisms within floodplain lakes under the coupling effects of functional C microorganisms and environmental factors.

文摘Waste glass fibers were used as the main raw materials to prepare foamed glass-ceramics with 0-14 wt%H_(3)BO_(3)as a flux agent.The effects of H_(3)BO_(3)on the crystallization process,foaming behavior,and physical properties of CaO-MgO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)foamed glass-ceramics were investigated.The results showed that the main crystalline phase of the foamed glass-ceramics was anorthite with diopside as a minor crystalline phase,which exhibited a typical surface crystallization process.The addition of H_(3)BO_(3)modified the surface of glass powders and inhibited crystal precipitation obviously.The low melting point of H_(3)BO_(3)and the decrease of crystallinity jointly promoted the growth of pores,resulting in a reduction of bulk density and an increase in porosity.The compressive strength and thermal conductivity of the samples were linearly related to the bulk density.In particular,the sample added with 10 wt%H_(3)BO_(3)exhibited excellent properties,possessing a low coefficient of thermal conductivity 0.081 W/(m·K)and relatively high compressive strength 3.36 MPa.

文摘Cyperus esculentus(C.esculentus),a desert-adapted plant species with both ecological and economic value,has been widely cultivated in northern China's sandy regions.However,limited studies have investigated the performance of composite shelterbelts that integrate C.esculentus.This study systematically evaluated five shelterbelt models—Populus euphratica(P.euphratica),P.euphratica–C.esculentus composite,P.euphratica–nylon net–C.esculentus composite,Tamarix chinensis(T.chinensis),and T.chinensis–C.esculentus composite—using wind tunnel experiments and field observations.Sediment flux was measured at a normalized downwind distance(x/h)of 5,where x refers to the distance from the front edge(upwind side)of the shelterbelt for upwind measurements,and the distance from the rear edge(downwind side)for downwind measurements,and h represents the canopy height.Wind velocity was measured at x/h of–2,–1,1,2,3,5,and 7,and sand flux was measured at x/h=5,under initial wind velocities of 8.0 and 12.0 m/s.The results indicated that the P.euphratica–nylon net–C.esculentus composite was the most effective in reducing wind velocity,followed by the P.euphratica–C.esculentus composite.In contrast,the P.euphratica and T.chinensis exhibited relatively weaker wind reduction capabilities.Regarding sand flux,under moderate wind velocity(8.0 m/s),both the P.euphratica–C.esculentus composite and P.euphratica–nylon net–C.esculentus composite demonstrated the lowest sand flux values.However,under high wind velocity(12.0 m/s),the P.euphratica–nylon net–C.esculentus composite significantly outperformed the other shelterbelt models in sand retention,highlighting its superior windbreak and sand fixation efficacy.Field observations further validated the windbreak and sand fixation effects of C.esculentus.Comparisons between the bare sand plot and C.esculentus plot within protective forests demonstrated that planting C.esculentus can provide substantial ecological benefits in windbreak and sand-fixation.These findings,reinforced by field observations,strengthen the wind tunnel experiment results and highlight the critical role of C.esculentus in enhancing the performance of composite shelterbelts for desert ecological restoration.

文摘From an engineering feasibility standpoint, what level of performance metrics can be ultimately achieved when designing a reactor using well-established nuclear fuels and structural materials that have already undergone irradiation testing? The irradiation capability, which hinges on parameters like neutron flux level, irradiation channels' volume, and fuel cycle duration, is a core indicator for high-flux reactors. We propose a conceptual design of an ultra-high flux fast reactor(UFFR) with strong irradiation capability, which utilizes U-20Pu-10Zr alloy fuel and employs lead-bismuth as the coolant. The maximum neutron flux in the core reaches 1.32×10^(16) cm^(-2)s^(-1), while the average neutron flux in the irradiation channels attains 1.19×10^(16) cm^(-2)s^(-1). The volume of the central irradiation channel exceeds 10000 cm^(3), and the fuel cycle duration is 165 d, placing all its performance indicators among the top in the world. Based on the analyses of reactor physics and thermalhydraulics, it has been demonstrated that all reactivity coefficients are negative and all physical parameters meet the design criteria, ensuring the inherent safety of UFFR. An assessment of the irradiation capability has been carried out based on californium-252(^(252)Cf) production, indicating that the irradiation capability of UFFR surpasses that of the high flux isotope reactor(HFIR). The yield of ^(252)Cf from UFFR is 14.39 times that of HFIR, and its nuclei conversion rate is 3.21 times that of HFIR.
文摘The radiative heat flux of the plume from reusable rockets is a critical parameter during the launch and return processes.This paper proposes a method for calculating radiative heat flux with higher accuracy than previously reported for a recoverable nine-engine liquid-propellant rocket.Based on the Radiative Transfer Equation(RTE),this study employs the discrete transfer method to solve the transient RTE problem using physical properties to describe the problem while avoiding the need to directly solve mathematical equations.The proposed method can effectively determine the radiative heat flux of the flow field and is applicable to problems involving various geometries.Calculations reveal that during the ascent phase of the rocket,the radiative heat flux at the base of the vehicle reaches its maximum in the initial stages of the lift-off,reaching a maximum of~50 kW/m^(2),which is 2.24 times the maximum value during the return phase.During the deceleration stage of re-entry into the atmosphere,the maximum radiative heat flux recorded on the sidewall of the rocket is 29.1 kW/m^(2);the maximum heat flux on the bottom surface is approximately 22.3 kW/m^(2),accounting for 76.6%of that on the rocket's sidewall.This provides a basis for the thermal protection design of the rocket's bottom and walls as well as for the thermal management of cryogenic propellant tanks.Future research will involve ground engine testing and flight experiments to further validate the proposed model.

文摘Lacustrine groundwater discharge(LGD)plays an important role in water resources management.Previous studies have focused on LGD process in a single lake,but the differences in LGD process within the same region have not been thoroughly investigated.In this study,multiple tracers(hydrochemistry,𝛿D,𝛿18O and 222Rn)were used to compare mechanisms of LGD in Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake in Inner Mongoli1,Northwest China.The hydrochemical types showed a trend from groundwater to lake water,indicating a hydraulic connection between them.In addition,the𝛿D and𝛿18O values of sediment pore water were between the groundwater and lake water,indicating the LGD processes.The radon mass balance model was used to estimate the average groundwater discharge rates of Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake,which were 2.79 mm/day and 3.02 mm/day,respectively.The total nitrogen(TN),total phosphorus(TP),and fluoride inputs associated with LGD in Daihai Lake accounted for 97.52%,96.59%,and 95.84%of the total inputs,respectively.In contrast,TN,TP and fluoride inputs in Ulansuhai Lake were 53.56%,40.98%,and 36.25%,respectively.This indicates that the pollutant inputs associated with LGD posed a potential threat to the ecological stability of Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake.By comparison,the differences of LGD process and associated pollutant flux were controlled by hydrogeological conditions,lakebed permeability and human activities.This study provides a reference for water resources management in Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake basins while improving the understanding of LGD in the Yellow River basin.

文摘Carbon fluxes are essential indicators assessing vegetation carbon cycle functions.However,the extent and mechanisms by which climate change and human activities influence the spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon fluxes in arid oasis and non-oasis area remains unclear.Here,we assessed and predicted the future effects of climate change and human activities on carbon fluxes in the Hexi Corridor.The results showed that the annual average gross primary productivity(GPP),net ecosystem productivity(NEP),and ecosystem respiration(Reco)in the Hexi Corridor oasis increased by 263.91 g C·m^(-2)·yr^(-1),118.45 g C·m^(-2)·yr^(-1)and 122.46 g C·m^(-2)·yr^(-1),respectively,due to the expansion of the oasis area by 3424.84 km^(2) caused by human activities from 2000 to 2022.Both oasis and non-oasis arid ecosystems in the Hexi Corridor acted as carbon sinks.Compared to the non-oasis area,the carbon fluxes contributions of oasis area increased,ranging from 10.21%to 13.99%for GPP,8.50%to11.68%for NEP,and 13.34%to 17.13%for Reco.The contribution of the carbon flux from the oasis expansion area to the total carbon flux change in the Hexi Corridor was 30.96%(7.09 Tg C yr^(-1))for GPP,29.57%(3.39 Tg C yr^(-1))for NEP and 32.40%(3.58 Tg C yr^(-1))for Reco.The changes in carbon fluxes in the oasis area were mainly attributed to human activities(oasis expansion)and temperature,whereas non-oasis area was mainly due to climate factors.Moreover,the future increasing trends were observed for GPP(64.99%),NEP(66.29%)and Reco(82.08%)in the Hexi Corridor.This study provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of carbon cycle in the arid oasis and non-oasis area.

文摘Effective motors are crucial for driving astronomical telescopes,especially for those operating in Antarctica,where the harsh environment and operating conditions,including extreme low temperature,ice/snow accumulation,low power consumption,and unattended operation,introduce challenges to the design and development of motor drives.We present the design of a permanent magnet synchronous motor suitable for this environment,conducting a quantitative analysis on the impacts of cryogenic conditions on lubricant performance,differential thermal contraction of metallic components,and remanent flux density of neodymium iron boron(N52)permanent magnets.We also implement a labyrinth seal structure,combined with silicone sealing rings,to mitigate ice crystal intrusion risks.Finite element analysis and laboratory tests demonstrate a maximum torque output of 25 Nm.This kind of motor is used in the Antarctic 15 cm Near Infrared Telescope at Dome A,Antarctica.Operation data shows a total encoder feedback error of 0.0678"for the telescope control system with 15"s^(−1)tracking speed at−56.79°C.These results comprehensively validate the high reliability and precision of the motor under the extreme conditions of the polar environment.

文摘To explore the relationship between dynamic characteristics and wake patterns,numerical simulations were conducted on three equal-diameter cylinders arranged in an equilateral triangle.The simulations varied reduced velocities and gap spacing to observe flow-induced vibrations(FIVs).The immersed boundary–lattice Boltzmann flux solver(IB–LBFS)was applied as a numerical solution method,allowing for straightforward application on a simple Cartesian mesh.The accuracy and rationality of this method have been verified through comparisons with previous numerical results,including studies on flow past three stationary circular cylinders arranged in a similar pattern and vortex-induced vibrations of a single cylinder across different reduced velocities.When examining the FIVs of three cylinders,numerical simulations were carried out across a range of reduced velocities(3.0≤Ur≤13.0)and gap spacing(L=3D,4D,and 5D).The observed vibration response included several regimes:the desynchronization regime,the initial branch,and the lower branch.Notably,the transverse amplitude peaked,and a double vortex street formed in the wake when the reduced velocity reached the lower branch.This arrangement of three cylinders proved advantageous for energy capture as the upstream cylinder’s vibration response mirrored that of an isolated cylinder,while the response of each downstream cylinder was significantly enhanced.Compared to a single cylinder,the vibration and flow characteristics of this system are markedly more complex.The maximum transverse amplitudes of the downstream cylinders are nearly identical and exceed those observed in a single-cylinder set-up.Depending on the gap spacing,the flow pattern varied:it was in-phase for L=3D,antiphase for L=4D,and exhibited vortex shedding for L=5D.The wake configuration mainly featured double vortex streets for L=3D and evolved into two pairs of double vortex streets for L=5D.Consequently,it well illustrates the coupling mechanism that dynamics characteristics and wake vortex change with gap spacing and reduced velocities.

文摘Global warming and nitrogen(N)deposition have a profound impact on greenhouse gas(GHG)fluxes and consequently,they also affect climate change.However,the global combined effects of warming and N addition on GHG fluxes remain to be fully understood.To address this knowledge gap,a globalmeta-analysis of 197 datasets was performed to assess the response of GHG fluxes to warming and N addition and their interactions under various climate and experimental conditions.The results indicate that warming significantly increased CO_(2)emissions,while N addition and the combined warming and N addition treatments had no impact on CO_(2)emissions.Moreover,both warming and N addition and their interactions exhibited positive effects on N_(2)O emissions.Under the combined warming and N addition treatments,warming was observed to exert a positive main effect on CO_(2)emissions,while N addition had a positive main effect on N_(2)O emissions.The interactive effects of warming and N addition exhibited antagonistic effects on CO_(2),N_(2)O,and CH_(4)emissions,with CH_(4)uptake dominated by additive effects.Furthermore,we identified biome and climate factors as the two treatments.These findings indicate that both warming and N addition substantially impact soil GHG fluxes and highlight the urgent need to investigate the influence of the combination of warming and N addition on terrestrial carbon and N cycling under ongoing global change.

文摘Theoretically,copper–niobium(Cu-Nb)composite superconducting cavities have excellent potential for high thermal and mechanical stability.They can appropriately exploit the high-gradient surface processing recipes developed for the bulk niobium(Nb)cavity and the thick copper(Cu)layer’s high thermal conductivity and rigidity,thereby enhancing the operational stability of the bulk Nb cavities.This study conducted a global review of the technical approaches employed for fabricating Cu-Nb composite superconducting cavities.We explored Cu-Nb composite superconducting cavities based on two technologies at the Institute of Modern Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences(IMP,CAS),including their manufacturing processes,radio-frequency(RF)characteristics,and mechanical performance.These cavities exhibit robust mechanical stability.First,the investigation of several 1.3 GHz single-cell elliptical cavities using the Cu-Nb composite sheets indicated that the wavy structure at the Cu-Nb interface influenced the reliable welding of the Cu-Nb composite parts.We observed the generation and trapping of magnetic flux density during the T_c crossing of Nb in cooldown process.The cooling rates during the T_c crossing of Nb exerted a substantial impact on the performance of the cavities.Furthermore,we measured and analyzed the surface resistance R_(s)attributed to the trapped magnetic flux induced by the Seebeck effect after quenching events.Second,for the first time,a low-beta bulk Nb cavity was plated with Cu on its outer surface using electroplating technology.We achieved a high peak electric field E_(pk)of~88.8 MV/m at 2 K and the unloaded quality factor Q_(0)at the E_(pk)of 88.8 MV/m exceeded 1×10^(10).This demonstrated that the electroplating Cu on the bulk Nb cavity is a practical method of developing the Cu-Nb composite superconducting cavity with superior thermal stability.The results presented here provide valuable insights for applying Cu-Nb composite superconducting cavities in superconducting accelerators with stringent operational stability requirements.

文摘During the continuous casting process of high-Mn high-Al steels,various types of gases such as Ar need to escape through the top of the mold.In which,the behavior of bubbles traversing the liquid slag serves as a restrictive link,closely associated with viscosity and the thickness of liquid slag.In contrast to two-dimensional surface observation,three-dimensional(3D)analysis method can offer a more intuitive,accurate,and comprehensive information.Therefore,this study employs a 3D X-ray microscope(3D-XRM)to obtained spatial distribution and 3D morphological characteristics of residual bubbles in mold flux under different basicity of liquid slag,different temperatures,and different holding times.The results indicate that as basicity of slag increases from 0.52 to 1.03,temperature increases from 1423 to 1573 K,the viscosity of slag decreases,the floating rate of bubbles increases.In addition,when holding time increases from 10 to 30 s,the bubbles floating distance increases,and the volume fraction and average equivalent sphere diameter of the bubbles solidified in the mold flux gradually decreases.In one word,increasing the basicity,temperature,and holding time leading to an increase in the removal rate of bubbles especially for the large.These findings of bubbles escape behavior provide valuable insights into optimizing low basicity mold flux for high-Mn high-Al steels.
