Two experimental campaigns in the framework of a collaboration project between the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission(CEA) and Jožef Stefan Institute(JSI), Slovenia, have been performed at the JSI TRIGA reactor for the experimental assessment of nuclear heating in fission and fusion-relevant materials by the differential calorimetry technique, based on the CALMOS and CARMEN differential calorimeters, previously developed at CEA. The results of the first campaign performed at reactor powers between 100 and 250 kW have already been reported, highlighting some measurement difficulties. Therefore, the second campaign was performed at a lower reactor power of 30 kW to overcome these issues. Moreover, a computational analysis of the experiments was performed using the JSIR2S code package to calculate the nuclear heating levels. Both experiments and their reproduction by simulations are described in detail. We present a comparison of the previously reported measured nuclear heating values of the first campaign with the computational results, with consistent underestimation by simulations by 8–35%. We report the experimental and computational results for the second experimental campaign performed at a reactor power of 30 kW. The simulated heating values were in agreement with the measurements within the measured heating uncertainty, with simulated heating 2.7–11.3% lower than the experimental values.展开更多

However, their pressure frequency and cavitation characteristics remain unclear, resulting in an inability to fully utilize resonance and cavitation erosion to break coal and rock. In this study, high-frequency pressure testing, high-speed photography, and large eddy simulation(LES) are used to investigate the distribution of the pressure frequency band, evolution law of the cavitation cloud, and its regulation mechanism of a continuous waterjet, SOPW, and AFESOPW. The results indicated that the excitation of the plunger pump, shearing layer vortex, and bubble collapse corresponded to the three high-amplitude frequency bands of the waterjet pressure. AFESOPWs have an additional self-priming frequency that can produce a larger amplitude under a synergistic effect with the second high-amplitude frequency band. A better cavitation effect was produced after self-priming the annulus fluid, and the shedding frequency of the cavitation clouds of the three types of waterjets was linearly related to the cavitation number. The peak pressure of the waterjet and cavitation erosion effect can be improved by modulating the waterjet pressure oscillation frequency and cavitation shedding frequency.展开更多

文摘For a multi-frequency non-reciprocal optical device,we first realize multi-frequency optical non-reciprocal transmission using a non-Hermitian multi-mode resonator array.Practically,multi-frequency operation can add channels to the non-reciprocal optical device and the non-reciprocity can route optical signals and prevent the reverse flow of noise.Using the Scully–Lamb model and gain saturation effect,we accomplish dual-frequency non-reciprocal transmission by introducing nonlinearity into a linear array of four-mode resonators.The accomplishment is directly demonstrated by the non-reciprocal transmission phenomena present in the non-divergent peaks.For example,a directional cyclic amplifier is constructed with non-reciprocal units.Regarding potential applications,non-reciprocal optical systems can be employed in dual-frequency control,parallel information processing,photonic integrated circuits,optical devices and so on.
文摘This paper presents an experimental analysis of a solar-assisted powered underfloor heating system,designed primarily to boost energy efficiency and achieve reliable desired steady-state temperature in buildings.We thoroughly tested the system’s thermal and operational features by subjecting it to three distinct scenarios that mimicked diverse solar irradiance and environmental conditions.Our findings reveal a strong correlation between variations in solar input and overall system performance.The Solar Fraction(SF),our key energy efficiency metric,varied significantly across the cases,ranging from 63.1%up to 88.7%.This high reliance on renewables resulted in a substantial reduction in backup power;consequently,the auxiliary electric heater was only required to supply between 1.82 and 3.00 kWh over the test periods.The circulation pump operated on a precise control logic,engaging below 20℃ and disengaging at 21℃.Crucially,the experiments verified the system’s ability not only tomeet the air temperature setpoint but also to ensure the floor surface temperature stayed within required international comfort criteria.These robust results directly support the study’s main objective.For practical application,we advise increasing the total length of the embedded pipe network.This crucial adjustment would allow for a reduction in the required circulating water temperature,which in turn maximizes the utilization of low-grade solar heat and optimizes radiant heat delivery toward achieving the desired steady-state temperature.Ultimately,the study confirms that solar-assisted underfloor heating offers a technically viable,sustainable,and energy-efficient solution with the potential to significantly cut fossil fuel consumption.

文摘Based on the Fluent numerical simulation method,this study systematically analyzed the structural parameters of the spiral tube heat exchanger and the influence of the external baffle on its heat transfer performance.The results show that when the equivalent diameter of the spiral tube increased from 16.68 to 21.23 mm,its surface heat transfer coefficient decreased from 22,040 to 17,230 W/m^(2)⋅K,and the outlet air temperature dropped from 822.3 to 807.3 K.However,the pressure loss decreased from 2.692 to 0.958 kPa.which reveals the contradiction between the heat transfer efficiency and the flow resistance.By adding a baffle to enhance the turbulent disturbance,the wall heat flux density is increased by 21.17%,the surface heat transfer coefficient is increased by 12.1%,and the outlet temperature is optimized,which verifies the significant improvement of the heat transfer performance by the countercurrent design.Comprehensive research shows that the collaborative optimization of spiral tube equivalent diameter parameters and baffle flow control is the key to improve the comprehensive performance of heat exchanger.Theresearch results provide a theoretical basis for energy-saving design of industrial heat exchangers.

文摘Nuclear heating plays an important aspect in design and deployment of both fission and fusion reactors and experimental devices in terms of cooling requirements. Two experimental campaigns in the framework of a collaboration project between the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission(CEA) and Jožef Stefan Institute(JSI), Slovenia, have been performed at the JSI TRIGA reactor for the experimental assessment of nuclear heating in fission and fusion-relevant materials by the differential calorimetry technique, based on the CALMOS and CARMEN differential calorimeters, previously developed at CEA. The results of the first campaign performed at reactor powers between 100 and 250 kW have already been reported, highlighting some measurement difficulties. Therefore, the second campaign was performed at a lower reactor power of 30 kW to overcome these issues. Moreover, a computational analysis of the experiments was performed using the JSIR2S code package to calculate the nuclear heating levels. Both experiments and their reproduction by simulations are described in detail. We present a comparison of the previously reported measured nuclear heating values of the first campaign with the computational results, with consistent underestimation by simulations by 8–35%. We report the experimental and computational results for the second experimental campaign performed at a reactor power of 30 kW. The simulated heating values were in agreement with the measurements within the measured heating uncertainty, with simulated heating 2.7–11.3% lower than the experimental values.
文摘Thetechnical,economic,and environmental performance of solar hot-water(SWH)systems for Swedish residential apartments—where approximately 80%of household energy is devoted to space heating and sanitary hotwater production—was assessed.Two collector types,flat plate(FP)and evacuated tube(ET),were simulated in TSOL Pro 5.5 for five major cities(Stockholm,Goteborg,Malmo,Uppsala,Linkoping).Climatic data and cold-water temperatures were sourced fromMeteonorm7.1,and economic parameters were derived fromrecent national statistics and literature.All calculations explicitly accounted for heat losses from collectors,storage tanks,and internal and external piping systems,and established solar-fraction equations and NPV methodology were applied.Sensitivity analyseswere conducted to determine optimal collector area and hot-water storage volume.Additionally,a Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis(10,000 iterations,±10%)and break-even subsidy/carbon-credit assessments were performed.The discount rate for NPV calculations was set at 0% for capital interest with a 5%reinvestment return over a 25-year lifespan.The highest annual solar heat yield(8017.5 kWh)was obtained in Malmo with 32 m^(2) of ET collectors,meeting 52.7%of total heating demand.Annual CO_(2) emissions were avoided by FP and ET systems by approximately~9.07 and~10.55 tonnes,respectively.Economic analysis showed that no payback was achieved without government allowance;however,at a$0.05/m^(2) allowance,positive NPV was exhibited at all stations.Lower levelized heat costs were delivered by FP systems,while ET systems demonstrated consistent superiority under climatic and economic variability according to the Monte Carlo analysis.Optimal design parameters were identified as 32 collectors and a 1680 L heating buffer tank,and Sankey diagrams highlighted collector losses as the dominant inefficiency.It was concluded that properly designed SWH systems,when supported by targeted subsidies,can significantly reduce fossil-fuel demand and CO_(2) emissions in Swedish residential buildings.This work provides the first city-specific technical–economic–environmental dataset for Sweden,establishes a foundation for a national solar-heating atlas,and informs policymaking toward 100%renewable energy targets;beyond the baseline evaluation,explicit subsidy and carbon-price thresholds,quantified uncertainty ranges,and loss-flow visualizations are also provided,reinforcing the robustness and policy relevance of the findings.

文摘Flash Joule heating(FJH),as a high-efficiency and low-energy consumption technology for advanced materials synthesis,has shown significant potential in the synthesis of graphene and other functional carbon materials.Based on the Joule effect,the solid carbon sources can be rapidly heated to ultra-high temperatures(>3000 K)through instantaneous high-energy current pulses during FJH,thus driving the rapid rearrangement and graphitization of carbon atoms.This technology demonstrates numerous advantages,such as solvent-and catalyst-free features,high energy conversion efficiency,and a short process cycle.In this review,we have systematically summarized the technology principle and equipment design for FJH,as well as its raw materials selection and pretreatment strategies.The research progress in the FJH synthesis of flash graphene,carbon nanotubes,graphene fibers,and anode hard carbon,as well as its by-products,is also presented.FJH can precisely optimize the microstructures of carbon materials(e.g.,interlayer spacing of turbostratic graphene,defect concentration,and heteroatom doping)by regulating its operation parameters like flash voltage and flash time,thereby enhancing their performances in various applications,such as composite reinforcement,metal-ion battery electrodes,supercapacitors,and electrocatalysts.However,this technology is still challenged by low process yield,macroscopic material uniformity,and green power supply system construction.More research efforts are also required to promote the transition of FJH from laboratory to industrial-scale applications,thus providing innovative solutions for advanced carbon materials manufacturing and waste management toward carbon neutrality.
文摘Efficient thermal management in porous media is essential for advanced engineering applications,including solar energy systems,electronic cooling,and aerospace thermal control.This study presents a comprehensive analysis of ternary hybrid nanofluids,TiO_(2)-CdTe-MoS_(2) dispersed in water,flowing over a vertical stretching or shrinking surface in a Darcy-Brinkman porous medium.The investigation accounts for the combined effects of magnetohydrodynamics,thermal radiation,viscous dissipation,and internal heat generation.In contrast to previous studies that predominantly focused on single or binary nanofluids,the present work systematically examines the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of ternary hybrid nanofluids,highlighting their enhanced heat transport capabilities in porous structures.The governing momentum and energy equations are formulated in nondimensional form and solved numerically using the shifted Legendre collocation method.The results show that increasing the magnetic parameter,M=0-4,suppresses the fluid velocity by up to 28%,while stronger thermal radiation,R=0-5,raises the near-surface temperature by approximately 32%.Viscous dissipation and internal heat generation further enhance the Nusselt number,indicating improved heat transfer performance.Overall,the findings demonstrate the synergistic influence of the three nanoparticles in optimizing flow behavior and thermal characteristics,offering valuable insights for the design of high-performance thermal management systems in energy and aerospace applications.
文摘In order to enhance the off-peak performance of gas turbine combined cycle(GTCC)units,a novel collaborative power generation system(CPG)was proposed.During off-peak operation periods,the remaining power of the GTCC was used to drive the adiabatic compressed air energy storage(ACAES),while the intake air of the GTCC was heated by the compression heat of theACAES.Based on a 67.3MW GTCC,under specific demand load distribution,a CPG system and a benchmark system(BS)were designed,both of which used 9.388% of the GTCC output power to drive the ACAES.The performance of the CPG and the BS without intake air heating was compared.The results show that the load rate of the GTCC in the CPG system during off-peak periods is significantly enhanced,and the average operating efficiency of the GTCC is increased by 1.19 percentage points.However,in the BS system,due to the single collaborativemethod of load shifting,the GTCC operative efficiency is almost increased by 1.00 percentage points under different ambient temperatures.In a roundtrip cycle at an ambient temperature of 288.15K,the systemefficiency of the CPG reaches 0.5010,which is 0.62 percentage points higher than the operative efficiency of 0.4948 in the standalone GTCC;while the system efficiency of the BS is slightly inferior to that of the standalone GTCC.The findings confirm the technical feasibility and performance improvement of the ACAES-GTCC collaborative power generation system.

文摘Under submerged conditions, compared with traditional self-excited oscillating pulsed waterjets(SOPWs), annular fluid-enhanced self-excited oscillating pulsed waterjets(AFESOPWs) exhibit a higher surge pressure through self-priming. However, their pressure frequency and cavitation characteristics remain unclear, resulting in an inability to fully utilize resonance and cavitation erosion to break coal and rock. In this study, high-frequency pressure testing, high-speed photography, and large eddy simulation(LES) are used to investigate the distribution of the pressure frequency band, evolution law of the cavitation cloud, and its regulation mechanism of a continuous waterjet, SOPW, and AFESOPW. The results indicated that the excitation of the plunger pump, shearing layer vortex, and bubble collapse corresponded to the three high-amplitude frequency bands of the waterjet pressure. AFESOPWs have an additional self-priming frequency that can produce a larger amplitude under a synergistic effect with the second high-amplitude frequency band. A better cavitation effect was produced after self-priming the annulus fluid, and the shedding frequency of the cavitation clouds of the three types of waterjets was linearly related to the cavitation number. The peak pressure of the waterjet and cavitation erosion effect can be improved by modulating the waterjet pressure oscillation frequency and cavitation shedding frequency.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)are critical for the rapid growth of electric vehicles(EVs),but their inherent lifespan leads to numerous retirements and resource challenges.The efficacy of conventional recycling techniques is increasingly compromised by their high energy consumption and secondary pollution,rendering them less responsive to greener and more sustainable requirement of rapid development.Thus,the direct recycling process emerged and was considered as a more expedient and convenient method of recycling compared to the conventional recycling modes that are currently in study.However,due to the reliance on the indispensable sintering process,direct recycling still faces considerable challenges,motivating researchers to explore faster,greener,and more cost-effective strategies for LIBs recycling,Inspiringly,Joule heating recycling(JHR),an emerging technique,offers rapid,efficient impurity removal and material regeneration with minimal environmental impact,addressing limitations of existing methods.This method reduces the time for direct recycling of spent LIBs by a factor of at least three orders of magnitude and exhibits significant potential for future industrial production.Unfortunately,due to the lack of systematic organization and reporting,this next generation approach to direct recycling of spent LIBs has not yet gained much interest.To facilitate a more profound comprehension of rising flash recycling strategy,in this study,JHR is distinguished into two distinctive implementation pathways(including flash Joule heating and carbon thermal shock),designed to accommodate varying pretreatment stages and diverse spent LIBs materials.Subsequently,the advantages of the recently developed JHR of spent LIBs in terms of material performance,environmental friendliness,and economic viability are discussed in detail.Ultimately,with the goal of achieving more attractive society effects,the future direction of JHR of spent LIBs and its potential for practical application are proposed and envisaged.

文摘Friction rolling additive manufacturing(FRAM)is a solid-state additive manufacturing technology that plasticizes the feed and deposits a material using frictional heat generated by the tool head.The thermal efficiency of FRAM,which depends only on friction to generate heat,is low,and the thermal-accumulation effect of the deposition process must be addressed.An FRAM heat-balance-control method that combines plasma-arc preheating and instant water cooling(PC-FRAM)is devised in this study,and a temperature field featuring rapidly increasing and decreasing temperature is constructed around the tool head.Additionally,2195-T87 Al-Li alloy is used as the feed material,and the effects of heating and cooling rates on the microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated.The results show that water cooling significantly improves heat accumulation during the deposition process.The cooling rate increases by 11.7 times,and the high-temperature residence time decreases by more than 50%.The grain size of the PC-FRAM sample is the smallest,i.e.,3.77±1.03μm,its dislocation density is the highest,and the number density of precipitates is the highest,the size of precipitates is the smallest,which shows the best precipitation-strengthening effect.The hardness test results are consistent with the precipitation distribution.The ultimate tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the PC-FRAM samples are the highest(351±15.6 MPa,251.3±15.8 MPa and 16.25%±1.25%,respectively)among the samples investigated.The preheating and water-cooling-assisted deposition simultaneously increases the tensile strength and elongation of the deposited samples.The combination of preheating and instant cooling improves the deposition efficiency of FRAM and weakens the thermal-softening effect.

文摘Self-regulating heating and self-powered flexibility are pivotal for future wearable devices.However,the low energy-conversion rate of wearable devices at low temperatures limits their application in plateaus and other environments.This study introduces an azopolymer with remarkable semicrystallinity and reversible photoinduced solid-liquid transition ability that is obtained through copolymerization of azoben-zene(Azo)monomers and styrene.A composite of one such copolymer with an Azo:styrene molar ratio of 9:1(copolymer is denoted as PAzo9:1-co-polystyrene(PS))and nylon fabrics(NFs)is prepared(composite is denoted as PAzo9:1-co-PS@NF).PAzo9:1-co-PS@NF exhibits hydrophobicity and high wear resistance.Moreover,it shows good responsiveness(0.624 s^(−1))during isomerization under solid ultraviolet(UV)light(365 nm)with an energy density of 70.6 kJ kg^(−1).In addition,the open-circuit voltage,short-circuit current and quantity values of PAzo9:1-co-PS@NF exhibit small variations in a temperature range of−20℃ to 25℃ and remain at 170 V,5 μA,and 62 nC,respectively.Notably,the involved NFs were cut and sewn into gloves to be worn on a human hand model.When the model was exposed to both UV radiation and friction,the temperature of the finger coated with PAzo9:1-co-PS was approximately 6.0°C higher than that of the other parts.Therefore,developing triboelectric nanogenerators based on the in situ photothermal cycles of Azo in wearable devices is important to develop low-temperature self-regulating heating and self-powered flexible devices for extreme environments.
文摘Grain-oriented silicon steels were prepared at different heating rates during high temperature annealing,in which the evolution of magnetic properties,grain orientations and precipitates were studied.To illustrate the Zener factor,the diameter and number density of precipitates of interrupted testing samples were statistically calculated.The effect of precipitate ripening on the Goss texture and magnetic property was investigated.Data indicated that the trend of Zener factor was similar under different heating rates,first increasing and then decreasing,and that the precipitate maturing was greatly inhibited as the heating rate increased.Secondary recrystallization was developed at the temperature of 1010℃when a heating rate of 5℃/h was used,resulting in Goss,Brass and{110}<227>oriented grains growing abnormally and a magnetic induction intensity of 1.90T.Furthermore,increasing the heating rate to 20℃/h would inhibit the development of undesirable oriented grains and obtain a sharp Goss texture.However,when the heating rate was extremely fast,such as 40℃/h,poor secondary recrystallization was developed with many island grains,corresponding to a decrease in magnetic induction intensity to 1.87 T.At a suitable heating rate of 20℃/h,the sharpest Goss texture and the highest magnetic induction of 1.94 T with an onset secondary recrystallization temperature of 1020℃were found among the experimental variables in this study.The heating rate affected the initial temperature of secondary recrystallization by controlling the maturation of precipitates,leading to the deviation and dispersion of Goss texture,thereby reducing the magnetic properties.

文摘Geothermal energy,a form of renewable energy,has been extensively utilized for building heating.However,there is a lack of detailed comparative studies on the use of shallow and medium-deep geothermal energy in building energy systems,which are essential for decision-making.Therefore,this paper presents a comparative study of the performance and economic analysis of shallow and medium-deep borehole heat exchanger heating systems.Based on the geological parameters of Xi’an,China and commonly used borehole heat exchanger structures,numerical simulationmethods are employed to analyze performance and economic efficiency.The results indicate that increasing the spacing between shallow borehole heat exchangers can effectively reduce thermal interference between the pipes and improve heat extraction performance.As the flow rate increases,the outlet water temperature ranges from 279.3 to 279.7 K,with heat extraction power varying between 595 and 609 W.For medium-deep borehole heat exchangers,performance predictions show that a higher flow rate results in greater heat extraction power.However,when the flow rate exceeds 30 m^(3)/h,further increases in flow rate have only a minor effect on enhancing heat extraction power.Additionally,the economic analysis reveals that the payback period for shallow geothermal heating systems ranges from 10 to 11 years,while for medium-deep geothermal heating systems,it varies more widely from 3 to 25 years.Therefore,the payback period for medium-deep geothermal heating systems is more significantly influenced by operational and installation parameters,and optimizing these parameters can considerably shorten the payback period.The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the efficient and cost-effective utilization of geothermal energy for building heating.

文摘This study investigates the nonlinear resonance responses of suspended cables subjected to multi-frequency excitations and time-delayed feedback.Two specific combinations and simultaneous resonances are selected for detailed examination.Initially,utilizing Hamilton’s variational principle,a nonlinear vibration control model of suspended cables under multi-frequency excitations and longitudinal time-delayed velocity feedback is developed,and the Galerkin method is employed to obtain the discrete model.Subsequently,focusing solely on single-mode discretization,analytical solutions for the two simultaneous resonances are derived using the method of multiple scales.The frequency response equations are derived,and the stability analysis is presented for two simultaneous resonance cases.The results demonstrate that suspended cables exhibit complex nonlinearity under multi-frequency excitations.Multiple solutions under multi-frequency excitation can be distinguished through the frequency–response and the detuning-phase curves.By adjusting the control gain and time delay,the resonance range,response amplitude,and phase of suspended cables can be modified.
文摘This study investigates the feasibility and efficiency of geothermal energy for heating applications in Azerbaijan,with a specific focus on the Khachmaz region.Despite the country’s growing interest in sustainable energy,limited research has addressed the potential of ground-source heat pump(GSHP)systems under local climatic and soil conditions.To address this gap,the study employs GeoT*SOL simulation to evaluate systemperformance,incorporating site-specific parameters such as soil thermal conductivity,heating demand profiles,and regional weather data.The results show that the GSHP system achieves a maximum seasonal performance factor(SPF)of 5.62 and an average SPF of 4.86,indicating high operational efficiency.Additionally,the system provides an estimated annual CO_(2) emissions reduction of 1956 kg per household,highlighting its environmental benefits.Comparative analysis with conventional heating systems demonstrates considerable energy savings and emissions mitigation.The study identifies technical(e.g.,initial installation complexity)and economic(e.g.,high upfront costs)challenges to widespread implementation.Based on these insights,practical recommendations are proposed:policymakers are encouraged to support financial incentives and policy frameworks;urban planners should consider GSHP integration in regional heating plans;and engineers may adopt the simulation-based approach presented here for feasibility studies.This research contributes to the strategic advancement of renewable heating technologies in Azerbaijan.

文摘The development of efficient and clean heating technologies is crucial for reducing carbon emissions in regions with severe cold regions.This research designs a novel two-stage phase change heat storage coupled solar-air source heat pump heating system structure that is specifically designed for such regions.The two-stage heat storage device in this heating system expands the storage temperature range of solar heat.The utilization of the two-stage heat storage device not onlymakes up for the instability of the solar heating system,but can also directlymeet the building heating temperature,and can reduce the influence of low-temperature outdoor environments in severe cold regions on the heating performance of the air source heat pump by using solar energy.Therefore,the two-stage phase change heat storage coupled to the solar energy-air source heat pump heating system effectively improves the utilization rate of solar energy.A numerical model of the system components and their integration was developed using TRNSYS software in this study,and various performance aspects of the system were simulated and analyzed.The simulation results demonstrated that the two-stage heat storage device can effectively store solar energy,enabling its hierarchical utilization.The low-temperature solar energy stored by the two-stage phase change heat storage device enhances the coefficient of performance of the air source heat pump by 11.1%in severe cold conditions.Using the Hooke-Jeeves optimization method,the annual cost and carbon emissions are taken as optimization objectives,with the optimized solar heat supply accounting for 52.5%.This study offers valuable insights into operational strategies and site selection for engineering applications,providing a solid theoretical foundation for the widespread implementation of this system in severe cold regions.
文摘The advancement of imaging resolution has made the impact of multi-frequency composite jitter in satellite platforms on non-collinear time delay and integration(TDI)charge-coupled device(CCD)imaging systems increasingly critical.Moreover,the accuracy of jitter detection is constrained by the limited inter-chip overlap region inherent to non-collinear TDI CCDs.To address these challenges,a multi-frequency jitter detection method is proposed,achieving sub-pixel level error extraction.Furthermore,a multi-frequency jitter fitting approach utilizing a scale-adjustable sliding window is introduced.For composite multi-frequency jitter,spectral analysis decomposes the relative jitter error curve,while the scale-adjustable sliding window enables frequency-division fitting and modeling.Validation experiments using Gaofen-8(GF-8)remote sensing satellite imagery detected jitter at 0.65,20,and 100 Hz in the cross-track direction and at 0.5,100,and 120 Hz in the along-track direction,demonstrating the method’s precision in detecting platform jitter at sub-pixel accuracy(<0.2 pixels)and its efficacy in fitting and modeling for non-collinear TDI CCD imaging systems subject to multi-frequency jitter.
文摘The aim of this paper was to characterize through experiment the moisture and temperature kinetic behavior of Eucalyptus gomphocephala wood samples using microwave heating(MWH)in two scenarios:intermittently and continuously.The mechanical properties and surface appearance of the heated samples were also investigated.Continuous and intermittent microwave drying kinetic experiments were conducted at a frequency of 2.45 GHz using a microwave laboratory oven at 300,500,and 1000 watts.Drying rate curves indicated three distinct phases of MWH.Increasing the microwave power with a shorter drying time led to rapid increases in internal temperature and water evaporation rates of the heated samples.Mechanical results indicated that samples heated under continuous MW(Microwave)power at 300 watts had a modulus of rupture(MOR)and modulus of elasticity(MOE)in three static bending tests higher than 29%and 36%,respectively,than samples heated at 1000 watts.Intermittent microwave heating(IMWH)of samples at 300 and 1000 watts produced the highest MOR and MOE values of 31%and 51%,respectively,unlike those heated under continuous microwave heating(CMWH).External qualitative observation showed that samples heated at high microwave power had severe surface checks.These defects were missing when using IMWH.An analysis of variance(ANOVA)showed that mechanical properties were linked to both microwave power level and the heating scenario,except for MOR in axial compression under CMWH.
