The calculation on humidification is carried out at 423.15—573.15K, 5—15MPa. The results suggest that to produce high-enthalpy moist air, high water temperature and large water flow are needed. The water temperature is the most sensitive parameter to the humidification tower. And it is better for the humidification tower to work at temperature higher than 523 K when the system pressure is higher than 5 MPa. The comparison between the model used in this paper and ideal model shows that the ideal model can be used in simulation to simply the calculation when the temperature is lower than 473 K and pressure is lower than 5 MPa.展开更多

The results showed that the five cover patterns all showed significant ef- fects on soil properties in young Phoebe bournei forest under the condition of high temperature. Land cover increased land temperature in Phoebe boumei forest. Un- der the film mulching, the land temperature was increased most rapidly with the largest increment. However, weed covering, branches and leaves covering and growing grass covering decreased land temperature. Among them, growing grass covering showed the best cooling effect. The film mulching, weed covering, branch- es and leaves covering and growing grass covering all increased land humidity. The film mulching showed the best moisture-preserving effect in the early period, but in the late period, the humidity in the film mulching treatment group was lower than that in the clean tillage treatment group. Among the five mulching patterns, moisture loss in the film mulching treatment group was slowest and least, followed by those in the weed covering and branches and leaves covering treatment groups, and moisture loss in the growing grass covering treatment group was fastest and most.展开更多

The Fire Weather Index (FWI) System can be used in ap- plied forestry as a tool to investigate and manage all types of fire. Relative humidity (RH) is a very important parameter to calculate FWI. However, RH interpolated from meteorological data may not be able to provide precise and confident values for areas between far separated stations. The principal objective of this study is to provide high-resolution RH for FWI using MODIS data. The precipitable water vapor (PW) can be retrieved from MODIS using split window tech- niques. Four-year-time-series (2000-2003) of 8-day mean PW and specific humidity (Q) of Peninsular Malaysia were analyzed and the statistic expression between PW and Q was developed. The root-mean-square-error (RMSE) of Q es- timated by PW is generally less than 0.0004 and the correlation coefficient is 0.90. Based on the experiential formula between PW and Q, surface RH can be computed with combination of auxiliary data such as DEM and air temperature (Ta). The mean absolute errors of the estimated RH in Peninsular Malaysia are less than 5% compared to the measured RH and the correlation coefficient is 0.8219. It is proven to be a simple and feasible model to compute high-resolution RH using remote sensing data.展开更多

文摘High-efficiency formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI3)-based perovskite solar cells(PSCs)typically involve annealing in humid air during the fabrication process of perovskite films.However,the combined effects of humidity and relatively high temperature often result in the uncontrollable formation of a detrimental PbI_(2)phase in the perovskite films.As a result,the annealing process of perovskite films is highly sensitive to the relative humidity fluctuations of the environment.Under solar illumination,the undesired PbI_(2)tends to decompose,accelerating the degradation of perovskite materials and severely compromising the light stability of PSCs.This issue is particularly critical for the buried interface and bulk of the perovskite films,as these regions absorb the majority of the incident light.Pre-treatment and posttreatment strategies are generally confined to address the PbI_(2)issues at the buried interface and on the surface of the perovskite films,respectively.However,effectively addressing the effects of excess PbI_(2)at buried interface and grain boundaries within bulk in a single step remains challenging.In this study,we propose an intermediate-treatment strategy using phthalylglycyl chloride(PTC),which involves treating the wet films with PTC prior to annealing during the formation process of the perovskite films.This approach protects the grain boundaries of polycrystalline perovskite films in advance,effectively preventing moisture-induced degradation of the perovskites and thus significantly broadening the relative humidity window of annealing process.Our results demonstrate that this strategy can successfully suppress the formation of PbI_(2)at the grain boundaries and buried interface of perovskite films,thereby eliminating the PbI_(2)-induced degradation pathways.Our strategy significantly reduces the sensitivity to humidity fluctuations during annealing for fabricating stable PSCs,ensuring more consistent fabrication of stable PSCs.Consequently,the resulting PSCs achieve a champion power conversion efficiency of 26.1% and demonstrate excellent light stability.

文摘Halide solid-state electrolytes(HSSEs)with excellent ionic conductivity and high voltage stability are promising for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries(ASSLBs).However,they suffer from poor processability,mechanical durability and humidity stability,hindering their large-scale applications.Here,we introduce a dry-processing fibrillation strategy using hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)binder to encapsulate Li_(3)InCl_(6)(LIC)particles(the most representative HSSE).By manipulating the fibrillating process,only 0.5 wt%PTFE is sufficient to prepare free-standing LIC-PTFE(LIC-P)HSSEs.Additionally,LIC-P demonstrates excellent mechanical durability and humidity resistance.They can maintain their shapes after being exposed to humid atmosphere for 30 min,meanwhile still exhibit high ionic conductivity of>0.2m S/cm at 25℃.Consequently,the LIC-P-based ASSLBs deliver a high specific capacity of 126.6 m Ah/g at0.1 C and long cyclability of 200 cycles at 0.2 C.More importantly,the ASSLBs using moisture-exposed LIC-P can still operate properly by exhibiting a high capacity-retention of 87.7%after 100 cycles under0.2 C.Furthermore,for the first time,we unravel the LIC interfacial morphology evolution upon cycling because the good mechanical durability enables a facile separation of LIC-P from ASSLBs after testing.

文摘Monolithic catalysts with excellent O_(3)catalytic decomposition performance were prepared by in situ loading of Co-doped KMn_(8)O_(16)on the surface of nickel foam.The triple-layer structure with Co-doped KMn_(8)O_(16)/Ni6MnO_(8)/Ni foam was grown spontaneously on the surface of nickel foam by tuning the molar ratio of KMnO_(4)to Co(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O precursors.Importantly,the formed Ni6MnO_(8)structure between KMn_(8)O_(16)and nickel foam during in situ synthesis process effectively protected nickel foam from further etching,which significantly enhanced the reaction stability of catalyst.The optimum amount of Co doping in KMn_(8)O_(16)was available when the molar ratio of Mn to Co species in the precursor solution was 2:1.And the Mn2Co1 catalyst had abundant oxygen vacancies and excellent hydrophobicity,thus creating outstanding O_(3)decomposition activity.The O_(3)conversion under dry conditions and relative humidity of 65%,90%over a period of 5 hr was 100%,94%and 80%with the space velocity of 28,000 hr^(−1),respectively.The in situ constructed Co-doped KMn_(8)O_(16)/Ni foam catalyst showed the advantages of low price and gradual applicability of the preparation process,which provided an opportunity for the design of monolithic catalyst for O_(3)catalytic decomposition.

文摘This paper presents a multi-scale experimental investigation of the weathering degradation of red mudstone.Natural rocks were extracted from the surface ground to 120 m,inwhich three sets of samples were selected to consider the different initial rock fabrics.The long-term relative humidity(RH)cycles under two amplitudes were imposed on red mudstone to simulate the weathering process.After RH cycles,a series of uniaxial compression tests,Brazilian splitting tests and bender-extender element tests were carried out to examine the reduction in strength and stiffness.The objective of this study is to develop an extended stress-volume framework characterizing the degradation of natural red mudstone both at microscale and macroscale.Accompanied by the irreversible swelling of the rock specimen is the progressive degradation of strength,stiffness and Poisson's ratio.A unified exponential degradation model in terms of the irreversible volumetric strain was thus proposed to capture such a degradation pattern.The effect of the initial rock fabric was evident.The highest degradation rate and potential were identified in slightly weathered specimens.Significant slaking of aggregates and crack propagation were confirmed by scanning electron microscope(SEM)micrographs,which were considered as the main consequence of structure damage leading to degradation of mechanical properties.The structure damage during RH cycles denoted the hysteresis nature in the response to the cycling hydraulic reaction,in turn causing the increase in volumetric strain.Thus,the stress-volume relation rather than the suction relation was found in more reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

文摘Enhanced mass concentrations of aromatic-derived secondary organic aerosol(SOA)are frequently observed during humid-haze events.However,the influencing mechanism of relative humidity(RH)in aromatic-derived SOA formation remains incompletely understood.Here,the RH dependence of SOA formation in the presence of NOx was explored by a series of chamber experiments for toluene(TOL)and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene(TMB)photooxidation.The yield of TOL SOA and TMB SOA increased by 221%and 52%with increasing RH from~8%to~70%,respectively.Analytical results from a high-resolution mass spectrometer showed that SOA constituents with high oxygen content(O/C>0.6)were more abundant in SOA formed in the~70%RH experiment.The elevated yields and O/C of SOA could be attributed to the promoted formation and particle-phase diffusivity of highly oxidized molecules.In addition,in comparison with TMB,TOL could produce more unsaturated aldehydes,which are oxidized into carboxylic acids with high O/C,leading to a more sensitive response of TOL SOA formation to the change in RH.Our work provides mechanistic insights into RH roles in aromatic SOA formation and is helpful for a better understanding of humid-haze events.
文摘Based on ground observation data of relative humidity,the prediction performance of STNF and MIFS in each competition area during February 13-26,2024 was tested and evaluated by using two intelligent forecasting methods(STNF and MIFS).The results show that STNF had better performance in forecasting relative humidity in high-altitude areas,and was suitable for fine forecasting under complex terrain.MIFS improved the short-term forecast of some low-altitude stations,but the long-term reliability was insufficient.STNF method performed better than MIFS during 0-24 h.As the prediction time extended to 24-72 h,the errors of both methods showed a systematic increase trend.STNF had higher precision,lower root mean square error and smaller mean error in most regions under the background of most weather systems,showing its superiority as a forecasting method of relative humidity.However,the precision of MIFS was slightly higher than that of STNF in Liangcheng without system background,revealing that MIFS may also be an effective option in some specific conditions.

文摘Rare earth(RE)doped ferrites with the chemical formula Cu_(0.3)Zn_(0.3)Mg_(0.4)T_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)(x=0,0.1;T=La,Ce,Sr)were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method.The structural,optical,electrical and humidity sensing properties of Cu-Mg-Zn ferrites with rare earth element doping were investigated.Single-phase cubic spinel structure was confirmed via X-ray diffraction(XRD),and the crystal size ranges fro m 22.12 to 63.17 nm according to the Scherrer formula and from 25.66 to 67.46 nm according to the Williamson-Hall method.Po rous structure and elemental characterization of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The optic band gap varies between 2.21 and 2.49 eV.Electrical measurements were conducted in the frequency range of 1 Hz-20 MHz and temperature range of 25-400℃.It has been determined that the dielectric results are consistent with the Maxwell-Wagner method and exhibit a non-Debye relaxation model,as observed from the Nyquist plots.At a minimum frequency value of 1 Hz,the dielectric constants for pure,Ce,Sr,and La samples are 9×10^(4),5×10^(4),1×10^(8),and 2×10^(5) at 25℃,and 1.85×10^(8),1.34×10^(8),1.15×10^(10),and 4.4×10^(8)at 400℃.In the same order,for the maximum frequency value of 20 MHz,the dielectric constants at 25℃are 169,166,3799,and 60,while at 400℃they are 734,624,12108,and 774.The La doped sample's low dielectric loss makes it suitable for high-frequency applications.Humidity measurements were performed at room temperature and in the 5%-95%relative humidity range.The humidity properties of the samples were investigated through humidity mapping,sensitivity,hysteresis,and long-term stability tests.Compared to other samples,the results indicate that Ce exhibits better humidity performance with 99%sensitivity and the highest repeatability(91.2%).These results show that Ce-doped ferrite can be used as a low-cost,high-performance humidity sensor.

文摘The large dynamic range and high performance of temperature and humidity profile lidar made it a popular tool for monitoring the atmospheric environment.In this study,we carried out an accurate analysis of the key components of the lidar system,including lasers,the emitting and receiving light paths,and photodetectors.We combined the validation of simulations with experimental testing,and then the applicability indicators and necessary conditions in accordance were suggested.For the frequency stability of the laser,when the wavelength shift is less than 0.15%,the measurement accuracy of the system can be guaranteed to be less than 5%.The degree of near-field signal distortion will be significantly impacted by the size of the geometric factor’s transition zone.The introduced measurement error is less than 2%when the deviation angle of the emission axis is less than 0.1 mrad.It has been tested that selecting a low-sensitivity detector can help to improve the sensitivity of temperature detection since this channel is sensitive to the detector’s nonlinearity.To enhance lidar’s detection capabilities and direct the lidar system design process,it is beneficial to analyze the precision of the key components.

文摘Under the condition of high temperature, the effects of five cover patterns （clean tillage, film mulching, weed covering, branches and leaves covering and growing grass covering） on soil properties in young Phoebe boumei forest were in- vestigated. The results showed that the five cover patterns all showed significant ef- fects on soil properties in young Phoebe bournei forest under the condition of high temperature. Land cover increased land temperature in Phoebe boumei forest. Un- der the film mulching, the land temperature was increased most rapidly with the largest increment. However, weed covering, branches and leaves covering and growing grass covering decreased land temperature. Among them, growing grass covering showed the best cooling effect. The film mulching, weed covering, branch- es and leaves covering and growing grass covering all increased land humidity. The film mulching showed the best moisture-preserving effect in the early period, but in the late period, the humidity in the film mulching treatment group was lower than that in the clean tillage treatment group. Among the five mulching patterns, moisture loss in the film mulching treatment group was slowest and least, followed by those in the weed covering and branches and leaves covering treatment groups, and moisture loss in the growing grass covering treatment group was fastest and most.

文摘Forest fire is a serious disaster all over the world. The Fire Weather Index (FWI) System can be used in ap- plied forestry as a tool to investigate and manage all types of fire. Relative humidity (RH) is a very important parameter to calculate FWI. However, RH interpolated from meteorological data may not be able to provide precise and confident values for areas between far separated stations. The principal objective of this study is to provide high-resolution RH for FWI using MODIS data. The precipitable water vapor (PW) can be retrieved from MODIS using split window tech- niques. Four-year-time-series (2000-2003) of 8-day mean PW and specific humidity (Q) of Peninsular Malaysia were analyzed and the statistic expression between PW and Q was developed. The root-mean-square-error (RMSE) of Q es- timated by PW is generally less than 0.0004 and the correlation coefficient is 0.90. Based on the experiential formula between PW and Q, surface RH can be computed with combination of auxiliary data such as DEM and air temperature (Ta). The mean absolute errors of the estimated RH in Peninsular Malaysia are less than 5% compared to the measured RH and the correlation coefficient is 0.8219. It is proven to be a simple and feasible model to compute high-resolution RH using remote sensing data.
