In this study, the optimum operating conditions for efficient combustion in a singular Stirling engine combustor at different oxygen atmospheres were investigated and determined. Numerical simulations were performed to investigate the effects of ejection ratio and pressure on combustion performance. In an oxygen/carbon dioxide atmosphere, the results show that increasing the ejection ratio substantially alters the flame distribution in the Stirling engine combustor, increasing heat transfer and external combustion efficiency. In contrast, increasing the ejection ratio reduces the average and maximum temperatures of the Stirling engine combustor. Increased pressure affects the flame distribution in the Stirling engine combustor and impedes the flow and convective heat transfer in the combustor, reducing the overall external combustion efficiency at pressures above 6.5 MPa. In an air/carbon dioxide atmosphere, an increased ejection ratio reduces the average and maximum temperatures in the Stirling engine combustor. However, the overall flame distribution does not change substantially. The external combustion efficiency tends to increase and then decrease because of two opposing factors: the increase in the convective heat transfer coefficient and the decrease in the temperature difference. Increasing pressure inhibits forced convection heat transfer in the Stirling engine combustor, reducing external combustion efficiency, which drops from 78% to 65% when pressure increases from 0.2 MPa to 0.5 MPa.展开更多

The results indicate that the corrosion rates of NiFe2O4-based cermetanodes prepared in the vacuum and the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3 （volume fraction） are 6.46 and 2.71 cm/a,respectively. Though there is a transition layer with lots of holes or pores, a densified layer is formed on the surface of anode due tosome reactions producing aluminates. For the anode prepared in the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3, the thickness of thedensification layer （about 50 μm） is thicker than that （about 30 μm） formed on the surface of anode prepared in the vacuum. Thecontents of NiO and Fe（II） in NiFe2xO4-y-z increase with the decrease of oxygen content in sintering atmosphere, which reduces thecorrosion resistance of the material.展开更多

文摘Due to the high elevation and cold climate of the Tibetan Plateau,the western region retains extensive snow cover during the summer,which can exhibit rapid variability over the course of just a few days.This study utilizes numerical experiments to investigate the atmospheric response to extreme Tibetan Plateau snow cover(TPSC)events on a subseasonal timescale during summer.The results indicate that the subseasonal variations in TPSC exert limited impact on nonlocal atmospheric circulation and temperature during this period.Nevertheless,local surface energy and atmospheric temperature exhibit rapid cooling responses to increased snow cover.Specifically,an increase in snow cover over the western Tibetan Plateau leads to a sharp rise in surface albedo,resulting in a reduction in land surface energy and a negative response in the diabatic heating rate from the surface to 350 hPa locally.This negative diabatic heating response subsequently causes a decline in both surface and overlying atmospheric temperatures.The temperature response is confined to the western Tibetan Plateau and extends vertically from the surface to approximately 350 hPa.These extreme TPSC events and their associated atmospheric impacts occur within a two-week timescale.

文摘To explain the influence mechanism of MgO on the consolidation and reduction characteristics of roasted iron pellets,the properties and structure of pellets were investigated from multi-dimensions.It indicated that the MgO addition decreased the reduction swelling index(RSI)and reduction degree of pellets in both CO and H_(2)atmospheres.During the stepwise reduction process of Fe2O3→Fe3O4→FeO,the reduction behaviour of pellets in CO and H_(2)was similar,while the reduction rate of pellets in H_(2)atmosphere was almost twice as high as that in CO atmosphere.During the stepwise reduction process of FeO→Fe,the RSI of pellets showed a logarithmic increase in CO atmosphere and a linear decrease in H_(2)atmosphere.As investigated by first-principles calculations,C and Fe mainly formed chemical bonds,and the CO reduction process released energy,promoting the formation of iron whiskers.However,H and Fe produced weak physical adsorption,and the H_(2)reduction process was endothermic,inhibiting the generation of iron whiskers.With Mg2+doping in FexO,the nucleation region of iron whiskers expanded in CO reduction process,and the morphology of iron whiskers transformed from“slender”to“stocky,”reducing RSI of the pellets.
文摘The direct deoxygenative homo-coupling of benzyl alcohols holds great promise to build up bibenzyl motifs in organic synthesis,yet it remains a grand challenge in selectivity and activity control.Herein,we first discovered that iron carbide catalysts displayed high efficiency and selectivity in the catalytic deoxygenative homo-coupling of benzyl alcohols into bibenzyls using H_(2)as the reductant.Ir-promoted Fe0@Fe_(5)C_(2)gave the best performance among the investigated catalysts,and a broad scope of substrates with diverse functional groups could be smoothly converted into bibenzyls,with the yield up to 85%.In addition,in the presence of alkenes,three-component coupling reactions between alcohols and alkenes were also for the first time achieved to construct more complex multi-ring molecules.The radical-trapping experiment and FTIR measurements revealed the radical nature of the reaction and the significantly promoted C–O bond activation after carbonization,respectively.This work will provide guidelines for the rational design of efficient and selective catalysts for the alcohol-involved carbon-carbon coupling reactions.

文摘The hurdle technology for food preservation effectively addresses the limitations of individual antimicrobial technologies by integrating their strengths.It can not only prolong the storage time of food but also maintains its high quality.In this study,three antimicrobial and bactericidal technologies,namely soluble gas stabilization(SGS),modified atmosphere packaging(MAP),and cold plasma(CP),were applied to chilled chicken breasts.The packaging,total viable count(TVC),and physicochemical properties of chilled chicken breasts after treatments and storage at 4℃were monitored.The microbial diversity at the initial and end points of the storage time of each group was also analyzed.The results indicated that a 3−5 h SGS treatment can effectively increase the proportion of carbon dioxide in the MAP during the storage process of chilled chicken breasts,thereby alleviating the packaging collapse problem.Simultaneously,the effect of SGS,MAP,and CP combinational treatments significantly extended the storage time of chilled chicken breasts while maintaining the physicochemical qualities of samples.Compared to the control group,the TVC of chicken breast treated with SGS,MAP,and CP treatments decreased by 0.58(lg(CFU/g))at 0 day.The shelf life was extended by 5 days.After 8 days,the total volatile basic nitrogen(TVB-N)was 26.67 vs.19.50 mg/100 g,thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS)was 0.99 vs.0.72 mg MDA/kg,and TVC was 8.22 vs.6.52(lg(CFU/g)).High-throughput sequencing results showed that SGS and MAP treatments significantly reduce the proportion of Pseudomonas and Psychrobacter,which are sensitive to carbon dioxide,in the total bacterial genera.This study underscores the potential of integrating multiple antimicrobial technologies for effective food preservation.

文摘Knowing the optimal operating parameters of Stirling engines is important for efficient combustion through adaptability to changed pressures and oxygen atmospheres. In this study, the optimum operating conditions for efficient combustion in a singular Stirling engine combustor at different oxygen atmospheres were investigated and determined. Numerical simulations were performed to investigate the effects of ejection ratio and pressure on combustion performance. In an oxygen/carbon dioxide atmosphere, the results show that increasing the ejection ratio substantially alters the flame distribution in the Stirling engine combustor, increasing heat transfer and external combustion efficiency. In contrast, increasing the ejection ratio reduces the average and maximum temperatures of the Stirling engine combustor. Increased pressure affects the flame distribution in the Stirling engine combustor and impedes the flow and convective heat transfer in the combustor, reducing the overall external combustion efficiency at pressures above 6.5 MPa. In an air/carbon dioxide atmosphere, an increased ejection ratio reduces the average and maximum temperatures in the Stirling engine combustor. However, the overall flame distribution does not change substantially. The external combustion efficiency tends to increase and then decrease because of two opposing factors: the increase in the convective heat transfer coefficient and the decrease in the temperature difference. Increasing pressure inhibits forced convection heat transfer in the Stirling engine combustor, reducing external combustion efficiency, which drops from 78% to 65% when pressure increases from 0.2 MPa to 0.5 MPa.

文摘Cement production,while essential for global infrastructure,contributes significantly to carbon dioxide emissions,accounting for approximately 7%of total emissions.To mitigate these environmental impacts,flash calcination of kaolinitic clays has been investigated as a sustainable alternative.This technique involves the rapid heating of clays,enabling their use as supplementary cementitious materials.The primary objective of this study was to modify the color of calcined clay in various atmospheres(oxidizing,inert,and reducing)to achieve a grayish tone similar to commercial cement while preserving its reactive properties.The experimental procedure employed a tubular reactor with precise control of gas flows(atmospheric air,nitrogen,and a carbon monoxide–nitrogen mixture).Physicochemical characterization of the raw clay was conducted before calcination,with analyses repeated on the calcined clays following experimentation.Results indicated that clay calcined in an oxidizing atmosphere acquired a reddish hue,attributed to the oxidation of iron in hematite.The Clay exhibited a pinkish tone in an inert atmosphere,while calcination in a reducing atmosphere yielded the desired grayish color.Regarding pozzolanic activity,clays calcined in oxidizing and inert atmospheres displayed robust strength,ranging from 82%to 87%.Calcination in a reducing atmosphere resulted in slightly lower strength,around 74%,likely due to the clay’s chemical composition and the calcination process,which affects compound formation and material reactivity.

文摘This study employs Principal Component Analysis(PCA)and 13 years of SD-WACCM-X model data(2007-2019)to investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of Inter-hemispheric Coupling(IHC)triggered by sudden stratospheric warming(SSW)events.IHC in both hemispheres leads to a cold anomaly in the equatorial stratosphere,a warm anomaly in the equatorial mesosphere,and increased temperatures in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere(MLT)region of the summer hemisphere.However,the IHC features during boreal winter period are significantly weaker than during the austral winter period,primarily due to weaker stationary planetary wave activity in the Southern Hemisphere(SH).During the austral winter period,IHC results in a warm anomaly in the polar mesosphere of the SH,which does not occur in the NH during boreal winter period.This study also examines the possible influence of quasi-two-day waves(QTDWs)on IHC.We found that the largest temperature anomaly in the summer polar MLT region is associated with a large wind instability area,and a well-developed critical layer structure of QTDW in January.In contrast,during July,despite favorable conditions for QTDW propagation in the Northern Hemisphere,weaker IHC response is observed,suggesting that IHC features and the relationship with QTDWs during July would be more complex than during January.

文摘Atmospheric escape plays a critical role in shaping the long-term climate evolution of Mars.Among the various escape mechanisms,energetic neutral atoms(ENAs)generated through charge exchange between solar wind ions and exospheric neutrals serve as an important diagnostic for ion-neutral interactions and upper atmospheric loss.This study presents direct observations of hydrogen ENAs(H-ENAs)on the dayside of Mars by using the Mars Ion and Neutral Particle Analyzer(MINPA)onboard China’s Tianwen-1 orbiter.By analyzing H-ENA data during a coronal mass ejection and a stream interaction region from December 29,2021,to January 1,2022,and comparing these data with MAVEN/SWIA(Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN/Solar Wind Ion Analyzer)solar wind measurements,we examine the temporal evolution of H-ENA flux and the associated sputtered escape of atmospheric constituents.The observed H-ENA velocity is consistent with upstream solar wind ions,and the H-ENA-to-ion intensity ratio is used to infer variations in exospheric density,revealing a delayed response to enhanced solar wind activity.Penetrating H-ENA intensities reach up to 5.3×10^(6)s^(−1) cm^(−2),with energy fluxes on the order of(0.5-8.1)×10^(−3) mW/m^(2).The estimated oxygen sputtered escape rate driven by penetrating H-ENAs ranges from 5.5×10^(23)s^(−1) to 5.2×10^(24)s^(−1),comparable to or exceeding previous estimates based on penetrating ions.The findings highlight the need for low-altitude H-ENA observations to better quantify their atmospheric interactions and refine our understanding of nonthermal escape processes at Mars.

文摘CaBaCo_(4)O_(7)has been widely studied because of its distinctive structure and magnetic properties.This study examined the influence of different cooling atmospheres on the structure,magnetic properties,and dielectric behavior of CaBaCo_(4)O_(7).Samples were cooled under different atmospheric conditions to assess these influences.Our findings indicate that reduced oxygen content leads to increased lattice distortion.Since oxygen atoms play a crucial role in mediating magnetic exchange,oxygen deficiency disrupts long-range magnetic order and promotes short-range antiferromagnetic interactions.Additionally,the cooling atmosphere significantly impacts grain size,thereby affecting the dielectric constant and dielectric loss.In the argon-cooled CaBaCo_(4)O_(7)(Ar)sample,oxygen deficiency reduced dielectric permittivity and increased dielectric loss.
文摘Arsenic(As),classified as a Group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC),poses severe risks to ecosystems and human health through atmospheric exposure.This review synthesizes current knowledge on the sources,health impacts,and control strategies of atmospheric arsenic,with an emphasis on its global transport and toxicity.Natural sources,such as volcanic eruptions and soil erosion,contribute approximately 2.1 Gg/year;however,anthropogenic activities,notably metal smelting and coal combustion,dominate emissions,with global anthropogenic releases reaching approximately 28.6 Gg/year.Atmospheric arsenic primarily exists in two forms:particulate matter(PM_(2.5)-bound As(Ⅴ)/As(Ⅲ)and methylated species)and gaseous forms(e.g.,AsH_(3),As_(2)O_(3)),facilitating long-range transport and cross-continental pollution,as evidenced by Asian emissions contributing 39% of Arctic deposition.Advanced techniques,such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)and models like GEOS-Chem,enhance emission tracking;however,gaps persist in monitoring gaseous arsenic and refining emission inventories.Health risks include lung cancer,neurotoxicity,and cardiovascular diseases,exacerbated by inhalation and dietary exposure via contaminated crops.Control technologies,including calcium-and iron-based adsorbents and industrial scrubbers,show promise but face challenges related to efficiency and cost.Regional strategies,such as China’s tightened emission limits(0.5 mg/m^(3))and the EU’s Best Available Techniques(BAT),highlight progress,yet global cooperation remains vital for transboundary mitigation.Future research should prioritize low-cost sensors,elucidating speciation-toxicity relationships,and AI-driven emission management to address data gaps and optimize policies.Integrating multidisciplinary approaches—advanced science,stringent regulations,and international collaboration—is crucial to mitigate the environmental and public health impacts of arsenic amid growing industrialization and climate change.

文摘A comparative study on the corrosion resistance of 17Ni/（NiFe2O4-10NiO） cermet inert anode prepared in differentsintering atmospheres was conducted in Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melt. The results indicate that the corrosion rates of NiFe2O4-based cermetanodes prepared in the vacuum and the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3 （volume fraction） are 6.46 and 2.71 cm/a,respectively. Though there is a transition layer with lots of holes or pores, a densified layer is formed on the surface of anode due tosome reactions producing aluminates. For the anode prepared in the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3, the thickness of thedensification layer （about 50 μm） is thicker than that （about 30 μm） formed on the surface of anode prepared in the vacuum. Thecontents of NiO and Fe（II） in NiFe2xO4-y-z increase with the decrease of oxygen content in sintering atmosphere, which reduces thecorrosion resistance of the material.
