The effect of dried pellets, non-dried pellets, using an opened-vented hole, and using a closed-vented hole on the miscibility, morphology, thermal properties and mechanical properties of RPET/PC blends was investigated. The results indicated that no drying decreases dispersion, thermal properties, and mechanical properties of RPET/PC blends due to hydrolysis degradation of recycled-PET during the injection molding process. Using the venting system with non-dried RPET/PC blends partially improves dispersion, thermal properties and molecular weight of RPET/PC blends processed without drying, giving results that are similar to those processed with drying. Regarding the flexural properties, using the venting system without drying prevents the flexural properties from decreasing in RPET/PC blends, if the amount of RPET is less than 75 wt%. When the content of RPET is over 75 wt%, using the venting system does not eliminate the decrease in flexural properties of RPET/PC blends. When the venting system is applied to non-dried RPET, despite hydrolysis degradation of RPET not being completely eliminated, the damaging effects are nonetheless reduced compared with those samples processed without the venting system. As a result, vented barrel injection molding hardly prevents non-dried RPET/PC blends from having reduced flexural properties when the content of RPET is greater than 75 wt%.展开更多

The flame behavior of elevated fires was recorded. Various parameters including the fuel mass loss rate, the light extinction coefficient, the oxygen concentration and the gas temperature were measured. Results indicated that the variations of the flame behavior were consistent with that of the fuel mass loss rate. The fire location significantly impacted the light extinction coefficient, the oxygen concentration and the gas temperature, which all showed distinct stratification phenomena. For a higher elevated f＇we, the average fuel loss rate and the overall light extinction co- efficient were smaller, the oxygen concentration was higher and the gas temperature was lower. In addition, the smoke descending was slower. From the perspective of those parameters the fire was less hazardous if the fire was elevated higher, which was totally different from the elevated fires in closed compartments.展开更多

文摘Correlations of fire-induced temperature have been reviewed and revisited.The impact of XY factors,i.e.,the relative locations of the fire source and vent,on temperature models of ceiling-vented compartments could be reflected by the exponents of the two dimensionless terms which represent the ratio of the total energy to energy released through the ceiling vent,and the ratio of the energy lost through the walls to the energy released through the ceiling vent.For fires not located directly below the ceiling vent,the temperature rise was proportional to two thirds of the power of the heat release rate,while for fires immediately beneath this vent,the temperature rise was proportional to four thirds the power of the heat release rate,and was inversely proportional to one sixth the power of the ceiling vent size.

文摘The safety valve is an important component to ensure the safe operation of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,the effect of safety valve type on the thermal runaway(TR)and gas venting behavior of LIBs,as well as the TR hazard severity of LIBs,are not known.In this paper,the TR and gas venting behavior of three 100 A h lithium iron phosphate(LFP)batteries with different safety valves are investigated under overheating.Compared to previous studies,the main contribution of this work is in studying and evaluating the effect of gas venting behavior and TR hazard severity of LFP batteries with three safety valve types.Two significant results are obtained:(Ⅰ)the safety valve type dominates over gas venting pressure of battery during safety venting,the maximum gas venting pressure of LFP batteries with a round safety valve is 3320 Pa,which is one order of magnitude higher than other batteries with oval or cavity safety valve;(Ⅱ)the LFP battery with oval safety valve has the lowest TR hazard as shown by the TR hazard assessment model based on gray-fuzzy analytic hierarchy process.This study reveals the effect of safety valve type on TR and gas venting,providing a clear direction for the safety valve design.

文摘Many locations with concentrated hydrates at vents have confirmed the presence of abundant thermogenic gas in the middle of the Qiongdongnan Basin(QDNB).However,the impact of deep structures on gasbearing fluids migration and gas hydrates distribution in tectonically inactive regions is still unclear.In this study,the authors apply high-resolution 3D seismic and logging while drilling(LWD)data from the middle of the QDNB to investigate the influence of deep-large faults on gas chimneys and preferred gasescape pipes.The findings reveal the following:(1)Two significant deep-large faults,F1 and F2,developed on the edge of the Songnan Low Uplift,control the dominant migration of thermogenic hydrocarbons and determine the initial locations of gas chimneys.(2)The formation of gas chimneys is likely related to fault activation and reactivation.Gas chimney 1 is primarily arises from convergent fluid migration resulting from the intersection of the two faults,while the gas chimney 2 benefits from a steeper fault plane and shorter migration distance of fault F2.(3)Most gas-escape pipes are situated near the apex of the two faults.Their reactivations facilitate free gas flow into the GHSZ and contribute to the formation of fracture‐filling hydrates.

文摘Dissolved carbon(dissolved organic carbon and dissolved inorganic carbon)is the major component of the ocean carbon cycle,representing one of the largest carbon pools on Earth.Cold seeps and hydrothermal systems serve as the two main windows for the material and energy recycling exchange between the lithosphere and outer spheres(biosphere,hydrosphere and atmosphere).However,recent studies have found that the dynamic activities of fluids in these two extreme systems are a crucial source of‘new'carbon in the deep ocean.These carbon sources may become vital contributors to carbon and energy in marine ecosystems,which affect the global deep-sea carbon budget,and the marine ecosystems as well.In this review,we summarize the sources and formation mechanisms of dissolved carbon in the seep fluids from the cold seeps and hydrothermal vents,the contribution of methane oxidation to dissolved carbon,and the characteristics of the carbon isotope composition in the fluid.Furthermore,we analyze and discuss the influence of carbon discharged from seabed on the seawater carbon cycle by comparing and contrasting these two extreme environments.The research may assist in promoting a deeper understanding of the carbon cycle and material interaction in the ocean,particularly further carbon cycle research in the back-arc basin where cold seeps and hydrothermal vents commonly prevail.

文摘Eleven novel clerodane-type diterpenoids,grewiifopenes A-K(1-4 and 12-18),along with nine known compounds(5-11,19,and 20)were purified from the dichloromethane extract of the twigs and stems of Casearia grewiifolia Vent.(Salicaceae).Their spectroscopic data,including the NMR,HRESIMS,and electronic circular dichroism calculations were employed to completely characterize and elucidate the chemical structures and absolute configurations.The clerodane diterpenoids possessing a 6-OH group and no substitution at C-7 exhibited greater cytotoxic activity than others,with their IC50 values ranging from 0.3 to 2.9μM.Isocaseamembrin E(7)exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus,while isocaseamembrin E(7),corymbulosin X(8),caseargrewiin A(9),kurzipene A(10),and balanspene F(11)exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus.
