We report an intelligent catalyst sizing and morphological classification method based on the Mask-RCNN framework. A dataset of 9880 high-resolution images was captured by using a self-made fiber-optic endoscopic system for 13 kinds of silicoaluminophosphate-34 (SAPO-34) catalyst samples with different coke. Then there were approximately 877881 individual particles extracted from this dataset by our AI-based particle recognition algorithm. To clearly describe the morphology of irregular particles, we proposed a hybrid classification criterion that combines five different parameters, which are deformity, circularity, roundness, aspect ratio, and compactness. Therefore, catalyst morphology can be classified into two categories with four types. The first category includes regular types, such as the spherical, ellipsoidal, and rod-shaped types. And all the irregular types fall into the second category. The experimental results showed that a catalyst particle tends to be larger when its coke deposition increased. Whereas particle morphology remained primarily spherical and ellipsoidal, the ratio of each type varied slightly according to its coke. Our findings illustrate that this is a promising approach to be developing intelligent instruments for catalyst particle sizing and classification.展开更多

文摘Densely distributed coherent nanoparticles(DCN)in steel matrix can enhance the work-hardening ability and ductility of steel simultaneously.All the routes to this end can be generally classified into the liquid-solid route and the solid-solid route.However,the formation of DCN structures in steel requires long processes and complex steps.So far,obtaining steel with coherent particle enhancement in a short time remains a bottleneck,and some necessary steps remain unavoidable.Here,we show a high-efficiency liquid-phase refining process reinforced by a dynamic magnetic field.Ti-Y-Mn-O particles had an average size of around(3.53±1.21)nm and can be obtained in just around 180 s.These small nanoparticles were coherent with the matrix,implying no accumulated dislocations between the particles and the steel matrix.Our findings have a potential application for improving material machining capacity,creep resistance,and radiation resistance.

文摘The multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm(MOPSO)is widely used to solve multi-objective optimization problems.In the article,amulti-objective particle swarm optimization algorithmbased on decomposition and multi-selection strategy is proposed to improve the search efficiency.First,two update strategies based on decomposition are used to update the evolving population and external archive,respectively.Second,a multiselection strategy is designed.The first strategy is for the subspace without a non-dominated solution.Among the neighbor particles,the particle with the smallest penalty-based boundary intersection value is selected as the global optimal solution and the particle far away fromthe search particle and the global optimal solution is selected as the personal optimal solution to enhance global search.The second strategy is for the subspace with a non-dominated solution.In the neighbor particles,two particles are randomly selected,one as the global optimal solution and the other as the personal optimal solution,to enhance local search.The third strategy is for Pareto optimal front(PF)discontinuity,which is identified by the cumulative number of iterations of the subspace without non-dominated solutions.In the subsequent iteration,a new probability distribution is used to select from the remaining subspaces to search.Third,an adaptive inertia weight update strategy based on the dominated degree is designed to further improve the search efficiency.Finally,the proposed algorithmis compared with fivemulti-objective particle swarm optimization algorithms and five multi-objective evolutionary algorithms on 22 test problems.The results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance.

文摘To improve the wettability of hypereutectic Al−60Si alloy and enhance the mechanical properties of the joints,Al−60Si alloy was joined by ultrasonic soldering with Sn-9Zn solder,and a sound joint with in-situ Si particle reinforcement was obtained.The oxide film of Al−60Si alloy at the interface was identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analysis as amorphous Al_(2)O_(3).The oxide of Si particles in the base metal was also alumina.The oxide film of Al−60Si alloy was observed to be removed by ultrasonic vibration instead of holding treatment.Si particle-reinforced joints(35.7 vol.%)were obtained by increasing the ultrasonication time.The maximum shear strength peaked at 99.5 MPa for soldering at 330℃with an ultrasonic vibration time of 50 s.A model of forming of Si particles reinforced joint under the ultrasound was proposed,and ultrasonic vibration was considered to promote the dissolution of Al and migration of Si particles.
文摘Terrain Aided Navigation(TAN)technology has become increasingly important due to its effectiveness in environments where Global Positioning System(GPS)is unavailable.In recent years,TAN systems have been extensively researched for both aerial and underwater navigation applications.However,many TAN systems that rely on recursive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)position estimation methods,such as Extended Kalman Filters(EKF),often face challenges with divergence and instability,particularly in highly non-linear systems.To address these issues,this paper proposes and investigates a hybrid two-stage TAN positioning system for UAVs that utilizes Particle Filter.To enhance the system’s robustness against uncertainties caused by noise and to estimate additional system states,a Fuzzy Particle Filter(FPF)is employed in the first stage.This approach introduces a novel terrain composite feature that enables a fuzzy expert system to analyze terrain non-linearities and dynamically adjust the number of particles in real-time.This design allows the UAV to be efficiently localized in GPS-denied environments while also reducing the computational complexity of the particle filter in real-time applications.In the second stage,an Error State Kalman Filter(ESKF)is implemented to estimate the UAV’s altitude.The ESKF is chosen over the conventional EKF method because it is more suitable for non-linear systems.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed fuzzy-based terrain composite method achieves high positional accuracy while reducing computational time and memory usage.

文摘The wireless signals emitted by base stations serve as a vital link connecting people in today’s society and have been occupying an increasingly important role in real life.The development of the Internet of Things(IoT)relies on the support of base stations,which provide a solid foundation for achieving a more intelligent way of living.In a specific area,achieving higher signal coverage with fewer base stations has become an urgent problem.Therefore,this article focuses on the effective coverage area of base station signals and proposes a novel Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization(EPSO)algorithm based on collective prediction,referred to herein as ECPPSO.Introducing a new strategy called neighbor-based evolution prediction(NEP)addresses the issue of premature convergence often encountered by PSO.ECPPSO also employs a strengthening evolution(SE)strategy to enhance the algorithm’s global search capability and efficiency,ensuring enhanced robustness and a faster convergence speed when solving complex optimization problems.To better adapt to the actual communication needs of base stations,this article conducts simulation experiments by changing the number of base stations.The experimental results demonstrate thatunder the conditionof 50 ormore base stations,ECPPSOconsistently achieves the best coverage rate exceeding 95%,peaking at 99.4400%when the number of base stations reaches 80.These results validate the optimization capability of the ECPPSO algorithm,proving its feasibility and effectiveness.Further ablative experiments and comparisons with other algorithms highlight the advantages of ECPPSO.
文摘Jet agitation is known as a maintenance-free stirring technique for nuclear wastewater treatment and demonstrates great potential in transport of radioactive particles.Removal processes of horizontal sediment beds driven by impinging jets were experimentally investigated using image capture and processing technique.The beds were composed of heavy fine particles with particle density ranging from 3700 to 12600 kg·m^(-3) and particle diameter from 5 to 100 μm.The jet Reynolds number varied between 4300 and 9600.The single-phase large eddy simulation method was used for calculating both jet flow characteristics and wall shear stresses.The effects of jet strength,particle density,particle diameter,and bed thickness on bed mobility in terms of the critical Shields numbers were considered.Specifically,the critical Shields number was found to be intricately related to properties of particles,and independent of jet intensity.A new Shields number curve for stainless-steel particles was found,and a model was proposed to predict the transport rate of thin beds,with R^(2)=0.96.

文摘This work investigated the pyrolysis reaction of waste resin in a fluidized bed reactor.It was found that the pyrolysis-generated ash would adhere to the surface of ceramic particles,causing particle agglomeration and defluidization.Adding kaolin could effectively inhibit the particle agglomeration during the fluidized pyrolysis reaction through physical isolation and chemical reaction.On the one hand,kaolin could form a coating layer on the surface of ceramic particles to prevent the adhesion of organic ash generated by the pyrolysis of resin.On the other hand,when a sufficient amount of kaolin(-0.2%(mass))was added,the activated kaolin could fully contact with the Na+ ions generated by the pyrolysis of resin and react to form a high-melting aluminosilicate mineral(nepheline),which could reduce the formation of low-melting-point sodium sulfate and thereby avoid the agglomeration of ceramic particles.

文摘Based on the experimental results of casting thin section,low temperature nitrogen adsorption,high pressure mercury injection,nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum,contact angle and oil-water interfacial tension,the relationship between pore throat structure and crude oil mobility characteristics of full particle sequence reservoirs in the Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation of Mahu Sag,Junggar Basin,are revealed.(1)With the decrease of reservoir particle size,the volume of pores connected by large throats and the volume of large pores show a decreasing trend,and the distribution and peak ranges of throat and pore radius shift to smaller size in an orderly manner.The upper limits of throat radius,porosity and permeability of unconventional reservoirs in Fengcheng Formation are approximately 0.7μm,8%and 0.1×10^(−3)μm^(2),respectively.(2)As the reservoir particle size decreases,the distribution and peak ranges of pores hosting retained oil and movable oil are shifted to a smaller size in an orderly manner.With the increase of driving pressure,the amount of retained and movable oil of the larger particle reservoir samples shows a more obvious trend of decreasing and increasing,respectively.(3)With the increase of throat radius,the driving pressure of reservoir with different particle levels presents three stages,namely rapid decrease,slow decrease and stabilization.The oil driving pressures of various reservoirs and the differences of them decrease with the increase of temperature and obviously decrease with the increase of throat radius.According to the above experimental analysis,it is concluded that the deep shale oil of Fengcheng Formation in Mahu Sag has great potential for production under geological conditions.

文摘Accurately acquiring catalyst size and morphology is essential for supporting catalytic reaction process design and optimal control. We report an intelligent catalyst sizing and morphological classification method based on the Mask-RCNN framework. A dataset of 9880 high-resolution images was captured by using a self-made fiber-optic endoscopic system for 13 kinds of silicoaluminophosphate-34 (SAPO-34) catalyst samples with different coke. Then there were approximately 877881 individual particles extracted from this dataset by our AI-based particle recognition algorithm. To clearly describe the morphology of irregular particles, we proposed a hybrid classification criterion that combines five different parameters, which are deformity, circularity, roundness, aspect ratio, and compactness. Therefore, catalyst morphology can be classified into two categories with four types. The first category includes regular types, such as the spherical, ellipsoidal, and rod-shaped types. And all the irregular types fall into the second category. The experimental results showed that a catalyst particle tends to be larger when its coke deposition increased. Whereas particle morphology remained primarily spherical and ellipsoidal, the ratio of each type varied slightly according to its coke. Our findings illustrate that this is a promising approach to be developing intelligent instruments for catalyst particle sizing and classification.

文摘Biocompatible amphiphilic nanoparticles(NPs)with tunable particle morphology and surface property are important for their applications as functional materials.However,previously developed methods to prepare amphiphilic NPs generally involve several steps,especially an additional step for surface modification,greatly hindering their largescale production and widespread applications.Here,a versatile one-step strategy is developed to prepare biocompatible amphiphilic dimer NPs with tunable particle morphology and surface property.The amphiphilic dimer NPs,which consist of a hydrophobic shellac bulb and a hydrophilic poly(lactic acid)(PLA)bulb with PLA-poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)on the bulb surface,are prepared in a single step by controlled co-precipitation and self-assembly.Amphiphilic PLA-PEG/shellac dimer NPs demonstrate excellent tunability in particle morphology,thus showing good performances in controlling the interfacial curvature and emulsion type.In addition,temperatureresponsive PLA-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)(PNIPAM)/shellac dimer NPs are prepared following the same method and emulsions stabilized by them show temperature-triggered response.The applications of PLA-PEG-folic acid(FA)/shellac dimer NPs for drug delivery have also been demonstrated,which show a very good performance.The strategy of preparing the dimer NPs is green,scalable,facile and versatile,which provides a good platform for the design of dimer NPs with tunable particle morphology and surface property for diverse applications.

文摘High purity and ultrafine DAAF(u-DAAF)is an emerging insensitive charge in initiators.Although there are many ways to obtain u-DAAF,developing a preparation method with stable operation,accurate control,good quality consistency,equipment miniaturization,and minimum manpower is an inevitable requirement to adapt to the current social technology development trend.Here reported is the microfluidic preparation of u-DAAF with tunable particle size by a passive swirling microreactor.Under the guidance of recrystallization growth kinetics and mixing behavior of fluids in the swirling microreactor,the key parameters(liquid flow rate,explosive concentration and crystallization temperature)were screened and optimized through screening experiments.Under the condition that no surfactant is added and only experimental parameters are controlled,the particle size of recrystallized DAAF can be adjusted from 98 nm to 785 nm,and the corresponding specific surface area is 8.45 m^(2)·g^(-1)to 1.33 m^(2)·g^(-1).In addition,the preparation method has good batch stability,high yield(90.8%-92.6%)and high purity(99.0%-99.4%),indicating a high practical application potential.Electric explosion derived flyer initiation tests demonstrate that the u-DAAF shows an initiation sensitivity much lower than that of the raw DAAF,and comparable to that of the refined DAAF by conventional spraying crystallization method.This study provides an efficient method to fabricate u-DAAF with narrow particle size distribution and high reproducibility as well as a theoretical reference for fabrication of other ultrafine explosives.

文摘Brake wear particle(BWP)emissions are considered one of the dominant sources of particulate matter pollution in urban environments.BWP emissions have increased significantly under high-temperature conditions,emerging as a focal point of research interest.This study investigates the effect of brake temperatures on BWP emissions.The brake pad materials undergo violent decomposition and oxidation reactions and generate large amounts of incompletely oxidized organic products at temperatures above 475℃.These organic products cause particles below 200 nm to proliferate,and nanoparticles below 40 nm account for the largest contribution of total BWPs.When the friction surface temperature exceeds 475℃,the high-concentration BWPs below 200 nm will agglomerate into larger particles.High temperatures also cause the brake pad surface to delaminate and fragment into particles above 2.5μm.In addition,when the initial brake speed is above 160 km/h,or the brake pressure is above 7 bar,there is a sharp increase in particles below 200 nm.The results suggest that a significant number of nanoparticles below 40 nm are inferred to be generated as the flash temperature of the friction surface reaches the violent reaction temperature.This study provides guidelines for designing low-emission brake pads,as improving the high-temperature resistance of brake pad material components possibly reduces BWP generation.
