The decomposition of 1 m^3 of natural gas hydrates can release about 0.8 m^3 of water and 164 m3 of natural gas. Thus, natural gas hydrates are characterized by their high-energy density and huge resource potential. It is estimated that the world＇s total natural gas hydrates resource amount is equivalent to twice the total carbon amount of the global proven conventional fuels and can meet the human energy requirement in the future for 1000 years. They are thus the first choice to replace conventional energy of petroleum and coal.展开更多

So, it＇s impossible to have a quantitative analysis on the limit of conducted disturbance for electrical fast transient burst （EFT/B） in such dangerous environments. Transient conducted coupling model, which using EFT/B as its excitation source, can be built based on circuit and electromagnetic field theory. Furthermore, numerical analysis was performed. The results indicate that the capacitive coupling voltage is the same polarity as EFT/B, and is the main disturbance form of conducted coupling in mines. The inductive coupling voltage is reversed polarity with the ca- pacitive coupling voltage, and both peaks appear only in the rising time of EFT/B, which increase with the rising of load resistance. Moreover, the cable coupling voltage on the side of disturbance source is higher than the one on the other side in tunnel. To reduce the common resistance can suppress the resistive coupling disturbance.展开更多

In order to enable consistent evaluation of CEW performance, a systematic protocol for testing the electrical output of such weapons is required. In this paper, we propose a test specification for CEWs, designed to calculate the key performance and electrical safety parameters. The weapon is fired into a specified load, and current or voltage data are acquired, from which a set of electrical parameters are calculated and recorded. The protocol is based on experience of testing 6000 CEWs in the labs affiliated with the authors. This test protocol is designed to enable systematic testing, evaluation and research on CEW’s, including identification of weapons which are out of specification, determination of changes in weapon characteristics over time, and evaluation of weapons post-incident. Based on the proposed test protocol, we evaluate and report on electrical output produced by 208 X26TM and128 M26TM TASER? weapons. Results are shown in terms of proposed summary parameters and in terms of manufacturer’s performance specifications.展开更多

As electrical conductivity in the Earth's interior is highly sensitive to water content, it is an important geophysical parameter for understanding the deep Earth water content. Since its launch on May 21, 2023, the MSS-1(Macao Science Satellite-1) mission has operated for nearly one year, with its magnetometer achieving a precision of higher than 0.5 nT after orbital testing and calibration. Orbiting at 450 kilometers with a unique 41-degree inclination, the satellite enables high-density observations across multiple local times, allowing detailed monitoring of low-latitude regions and enhancing data for global conductivity imaging. To better understand the global distribution of water within the Earth's interior, it is crucial to study internal conductivity structure and water content distribution. To this aim, we introduce a method for using MSS-1 data to estamate induced magnetic fields related to magnetospheric currents. We then develop a trans-dimensional Bayesian approach to reveal Earth's internal conductivity, providing probable conductivity structure with an uncertainty analysis. Finally, by integrating known mineral composition, pressure, and temperature distribution within the mantle, we estimate the water content range in the mantle transition zone, concluding that this region may contain the equivalent of up to 3.0 oceans of water, providing compelling evidence that supports the hypothesis of a deep water cycle within the Earth's interior.展开更多

文摘The development of low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells(LT-SOFCs)is of significant importance for realizing the widespread application of SOFCs.This has stimulated a substantial materials research effort in developing high oxide-ion conductivity in the electrolyte layer of SOFCs.In this context,for the first time,a dielectric material,CaCu_(3)Ti_(4)O_(12)(CCTO)is designed for LT-SOFCs electrolyte application in this study.Both individual CCTO and its heterostructure materials with a p-type Ni_(0.8)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)LiO_(2−δ)(NCAL)semiconductor are evaluated as alternative electrolytes in LT-SOFC at 450–550℃.The single cell with the individual CCTO electrolyte exhibits a power output of approximately 263 mW cm^(-2) and an open-circuit voltage(OCV)of 0.95 V at 550℃,while the cell with the CCTO–NCAL heterostructure electrolyte capably delivers an improved power output of approximately 605 mW cm^(-2) along with a higher OCV over 1.0 V,which indicates the introduction of high hole-conducting NCAL into the CCTO could enhance the cell performance rather than inducing any potential short-circuiting risk.It is found that these promising outcomes are due to the interplay of the dielectric material,its structure,and overall properties that led to improve electrochemical mechanism in CCTO–NCAL.Furthermore,density functional theory calculations provide the detailed information about the electronic and structural properties of the CCTO and NCAL and their heterostructure CCTO–NCAL.Our study thus provides a new approach for developing new advanced electrolytes for LT-SOFCs.

文摘Focusing on the state-of-the-art conducted EMI prediction, this paper presents a noise source lumped circuit modeling and identification method, an EMI modeling method based on multiple slope approximation of switching transitions, and dou-ble Fourier integral method modeling PWM conversion units to achieve an accurate modeling of EMI noise source. Meanwhile, a new sensitivity analysis method, a general coupling model for steel ground loops, and a partial element equivalent circuit method are proposed to identify and characterize conducted EMI coupling paths. The EMI noise and propagation modeling provide an accurate prediction of conducted EMI in the entire frequency range (0―10 MHz) with good practicability and generality. Finally a new measurement approach is presented to identify the surface current of large dimensional metal shell. The proposed analytical modeling methodology is verified by experimental results.

文摘Latent heat thermal energy storage(TES)effectively reduces the mismatch between energy supply and demand of renewable energy sources by the utilization of phase change materials(PCMs).However,the low thermal conductivity and poor shape stability are the main drawbacks in realizing the large-scale application of PCMs.Promisingly,developing composite PCM(CPCM)based on porous supporting mate-rial provides a desirable solution to obtain performance-enhanced PCMs with improved effective thermal conductivity and shape stability.Among all the porous matrixes as supports for PCM,three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting material has attracted considerable attention ascribing to its high ther-mal conductivity,desirable loading capacity of PCMs,and excellent chemical compatibility with various PCMs.Therefore,this work systemically reviews the CPCMs with three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting materials.First,a concise rule for the fabrication of CPCMs is illustrated in detail.Next,the experimental and computational research of carbon nanotube-based support,graphene-based support,graphite-based support and amorphous carbon-based support are reviewed.Then,the applications of the shape-stabilized CPCMs including thermal management and thermal conversion are illustrated.Last but not least,the challenges and prospects of the CPCMs are discussed.To conclude,introducing carbon-based porous materials can solve the liquid leakage issue and essentially improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs.However,there is still a long way to further develop a desirable CPCM with higher latent heat capacity,higher thermal conductivity,and more excellent shape stability.

文摘Improving and optimizing the target properties of ceramics via the high entropy strategy has attracted significant attention.Rare earth niobate is a potential thermal barrier coating(TBCs)material,but its poor high-temperature phase stability limits its further application.In this work,four sets of TBCs high-entropy ceramics,(Sm_(1/5)Dy_(1/5)Ho_(1/5)Er_(1/5)Yb_(1/5))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(5NbTa),(Sm_(1/6)Dy_(1/6)Ho_(1/6)Er_(1/6)Yb_(1/6)Lu_(1/6))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(6NbTa),(Sm_(1/7)Gd_(1/7)Dy_(1/7)Ho_(1/7)Er_(1/7)Yb_(1/7)Lu_(1/7))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(7NbTa),(Sm_(1/8)Gd_(1/8)Dy_(1/8)Ho_(1/8)Er_(1/8)Tm_(1/8)Yb_(1/8)Lu_(1/8))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(8NbTa)are synthesized using a solid-state reaction method at 1650℃for 6 h.Firstly,the X-ray diffractometer(XRD)patterns display that the samples are all single-phase solid solution structures(space group C 2/c).Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and the high-temperature XRD of 8NbTa cross-check that the addition of Ta element in 8HERN increases the phase transition temperature above 1400℃,which can be attributed to that the Ta/Nb co-doping at B site introduces the fluctuation of the bond strength of Ta-O and Nb-O.Secondly,compared to high-entropy rare-earth niobates,the introduction of Ta atoms at B site substantially reduce thermal conductivity(re-duced by 44%,800℃)with the seven components high entropy ceramic as an example.The low thermal conductivity means strong phonon scattering,which may originate from the softening acoustic mode and flattened phonon dispersion in 5–8 principal element high entropy rare earth niobium tantalates(5–8NbTa)revealed by the first-principles calculations.Thirdly,the Ta/Nb co-doping in 5–8NbTa systems can further optimize the insulation performance of oxygen ions.The oxygen-ion conductivity of 8NbTa(3.31×10^(−6)S cm^(−1),900℃)is about 5 times lower than that of 8HERN(15.8×10^(−6)S cm^(−1),900℃)because of the sluggish diffusion effect,providing better oxygen barrier capacity in 5–8NbTa systems to inhibit the overgrowth of the thermal growth oxide(TGO)of TBCs.In addition,influenced by lattice dis-tortion and solid solution strengthening,the samples possess higher hardness(7.51–8.15 GPa)and TECs(9.78×10^(−6)K−1^(-1)0.78×10^(−6)K^(−1),1500℃)than the single rare-earth niobates and tantalates.Based on their excellent overall properties,it is considered that 5–8NbTa can be used as auspicious TBCs.

文摘The characteristics of conducted disturbances via current transformer(CT)caused by switch operations in 1000 kV UHV substations are studied in this paper.Since the broadband circuit models might have limitations on the stability and accuracy for CT conducted disturbance simulation,a frequencydomain simulation method without circuit synthesis is proposed based on VFTC spectrum and CT transfer characteristics.To improve VFTC simulation accuracy,both the bushing radiation loss and frequency-dependent earth impedance are taken into consideration.Transfer characteristics of three types of windings for the 1000 kV GIS CT are ingeniously measured from a combination of fast and slow impulse tests.Through conducted disturbances simulations in UHV Wuhu substation,bushing radiation loss is found to have a suppression effect on the highfrequency response but the effect of frequency-dependent earth impedance can be ignored.As a result,the maximum amplitude of 84.5 A for the conducted disturbance is obtained,thus a fast damped oscillatory wave immunity test with no lower than Level 4 from IEC standard is suggested to test the anti-interference performance of the secondary equipment in UHV substation.

文摘Water content, whether as free or lattice-bound water, is a crucial factor in determining the Earth's internal thermal state and plays a key role in volcanic eruptions, melting phenomena, and mantle convection rates. As electrical conductivity in the Earth's interior is highly sensitive to water content, it is an important geophysical parameter for understanding the deep Earth water content. Since its launch on May 21, 2023, the MSS-1(Macao Science Satellite-1) mission has operated for nearly one year, with its magnetometer achieving a precision of higher than 0.5 nT after orbital testing and calibration. Orbiting at 450 kilometers with a unique 41-degree inclination, the satellite enables high-density observations across multiple local times, allowing detailed monitoring of low-latitude regions and enhancing data for global conductivity imaging. To better understand the global distribution of water within the Earth's interior, it is crucial to study internal conductivity structure and water content distribution. To this aim, we introduce a method for using MSS-1 data to estamate induced magnetic fields related to magnetospheric currents. We then develop a trans-dimensional Bayesian approach to reveal Earth's internal conductivity, providing probable conductivity structure with an uncertainty analysis. Finally, by integrating known mineral composition, pressure, and temperature distribution within the mantle, we estimate the water content range in the mantle transition zone, concluding that this region may contain the equivalent of up to 3.0 oceans of water, providing compelling evidence that supports the hypothesis of a deep water cycle within the Earth's interior.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted significant interest as self-templates and precursors for the synthesis of carbon-based composites aimed at electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption.However,the utilization of high-temperature treatments has introduced uncertainties regarding the compositions and microstructures of resulting derivatives.Additionally,complete carbonization has led to diminished yields of the produced carbon composites,significantly limiting their practical applications.Consequently,the exploration of pristine MOF-based EMW absorbers presents an intriguing yet challenging endeavor,primarily due to inherently low electrical conductivity.In this study,we showcase the utilization of structurally robust Zr-MOFs as scaffolds to build highly conductive Zr-MOF/PPy composites via an inner-outer dual-modification approach,which involves the production of conducting polypyrrole(PPy)both within the confined nanoporous channels and the external surface of Zr-MOFs via post-synthetic modification.The interconnection of confined PPy and surface-lined PPy together leads to a consecutive and extensive conducting network to the maximum extent.This therefore entails outstanding conductivity up to~14.3 S cm^(-1) in Zr-MOF/PPy composites,which is approximately 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that for conductive MOF nanocomposites constructed from either inner or outer modification.Benefiting from the strong and tunable conduction loss,as well as the induced dielectric polarization originated from the porous structures and MOF-polymer interfaces,Zr-MOF/PPy exhibits excellent microwave attenuation capabilities and a tunable absorption frequency range.Specifically,with only 15 wt.%loading,the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)can reach up to-67.4 dB,accompanied by an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)extending to 6.74 GHz.Furthermore,the microwave absorption characteristics can be tailored from the C-band to the Ku-band by adjusting the loading of PPy.This work provides valuable insights into the fabrication of conductive MOF composites by presenting a straightforward pathway to enhance and reg-ulate electrical conduction in MOF-based nanocomposites,thus paving a way to facilely fabricate pristine MOF-based microwave absorbers.

文摘Modular multilevel converters(MMCs)have been widely used owing to their superior performance.However,the rapid switching of power electronics devices causes serious electromagnetic interference(EMI).There are a large number of obvious EMI peaks in the frequency spectrum of the carrier phase-shifted constant-switching-frequency pulse-width modulation(CSFPWM).Spreading the EMI across a wider frequency range can help to reduce the EMI peaks.In this study,we designed a uniform distribution(UD)spread-spectrum modulation technology using the principle of uniform switching frequency distribution and minimum switching loss for MMC.Its feasibility is verified by theoretical derivation and simulation.Then,the effectiveness of UDPWM in reducing the EMI is verified in experiments with a prototype MMC testbed in the lab.Compared with traditional CSFPWM,UDPWM can reduce conducted EMI by 10-20 dB.Also,compared with random PWM(RPWM),UDPWM can improve efficiency and reduce total harmonic distortion(THD)of output voltage and current in MMC.
