Given that HEs play a critical role in building flexible RZIBs, it is urgent to summarize the recent advances in this field and elucidate the design principles of HEs for practical applications. This review systematically presents the development history, recent advances in the material fundamentals, functional designs, challenges, and prospects of the HEs-based RZIBs. Firstly, the fundamentals, species, and flexible mechanisms of HEs are discussed, along with their compatibility with Zn anodes and various cathodes. Then, the functional designs of hydrogel electrolytes in harsh conditions are comprehensively discussed, including high/low/wide-temperature windows, mechanical deformations(e.g., bending, twisting, and straining), and damages(e.g., cutting, burning, and soaking). Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives for advancing HEs-based RZIBs are outlined.展开更多

文摘Actuator faults can be critical in turbofan engines as they can lead to stall,surge,loss of thrust and failure of speed control.Thus,fault diagnosis of gas turbine actuators has attracted considerable attention,from both academia and industry.However,the extensive literature that exists on this topic does not address identifying the severity of actuator faults and focuses mainly on actuator fault detection and isolation.In addition,previous studies of actuator fault identification have not dealt with multiple concurrent faults in real time,especially when these are accompanied by sudden failures under dynamic conditions.This study develops component-level models for fault identification in four typical actuators used in high-bypass ratio turbofan engines under both dynamic and steady-state conditions and these are then integrated with the engine performance model developed by the authors.The research results reported here present a novel method of quantifying actuator faults using dynamic effect compensation.The maximum error for each actuator is less than0.06%and 0.07%,with average computational time of less than 0.0058 s and 0.0086 s for steady-state and transient cases,respectively.These results confirm that the proposed method can accurately and efficiently identify concurrent actuator fault for an engine operating under either transient or steady-state conditions,even in the case of a sudden malfunction.The research results emonstrate the potential benefit to emergency response capabilities by introducing this method of monitoring the health of aero engines.

文摘In cold regions,rock structures will be weakened by freeze-thaw cycles under various water immersion conditions.Determining how water immersion conditions impact rock deterioration under freeze-thaw cycles is critical to assess accurately the frost resistance of engineered rock.In this paper,freeze-thaw cycles(temperature range of-20℃-20℃)were performed on the sandstones in different water immersion conditions(fully,partially and non-immersed in water).Then,computed tomography(CT)tests were conducted on the sandstones when the freeze-thaw number reached 0,5,10,15,20 and 30.Next,the effects of water immersion conditions on the microstructure deterioration of sandstone under freezethaw cycles were evaluated using CT spatial imaging,porosity and damage factor.Finally,focusing on the partially immersed condition,the immersion volume rate was defined to understand the effects of immersion degree on the freeze-thaw damage of sandstone and to propose a damage model considering the freeze-thaw number and immersion degree.The results show that with increasing freeze-thaw number,the porosities and damage factors under fully and partially immersed conditions increase continuously,while those under non-immersed condition first increase and then remain approximately constant.The most severe freeze-thaw damage occurs in fully immersed condition,followed by partially immersed condition and finally non-immersed condition.Interestingly,the freeze-thaw number and the immersion volume rate both impact the microstructure deterioration of the partially immersed sandstone.For the same freeze-thaw number,the damage factor increases approximately linearly with increasing immersion volume rate,and the increasing immersion degree exacerbates the microstructure deterioration of sandstone.Moreover,the proposed model can effectively estimate the freeze-thaw damage of partially immersed sandstone with different immersion volume rates.

文摘The potential of 2-amino-1-propanol(AP)as a novel depressant in selectively floating ilmenite from titanaugite under weakly acidic conditions was investigated.Micro-flotation results show that AP significantly reduces the recovery of titanaugite while having no evident impact on ilmenite flotation.Subsequent bench-scale flotation tests further confirm a remarkable improvement in separation efficiency upon the introduction of AP.Contact angle and adsorption tests reveal a stronger affinity of AP towards the titanaugite surface in comparison to ilmenite.Zeta potential measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyses exhibit favorable adsorption characteristics of AP on titanaugite,resulting from a synergy of electrostatic attraction and chemical interaction.In contrast,electrostatic repulsion hinders any significant interaction between AP and the ilmenite surface.These findings highlight the potential of AP as a highly efficient depressant for ilmenite flotation,paving the way for reduced reliance on sulfuric acid in the industry.
文摘Although time-dependent deformation of geomaterials underpins slope-failure prediction models,the influence of strain rate on shearing strength and deformation behavior of loess remains unclear.The consolidated undrained(CU)and drained(CD)triaxial testing elucidated the impact of strain rate(0.005–0.3 mm/min)on strength envelopes,deformation moduli,pore pressures,and dilatancy characteristics of unsaturated and quasi-saturated loess.Under drained conditions with a controlled matric suction of 50 kPa,increasing strain rates from 0.005 mm/min to 0.011 mm/min induced decreases in failure deviatoric stress(qf),initial deformation modulus(Ei),and cohesion(c),while friction angles remained unaffected.Specimens displayed initial contractive volumetric strains transitioning to dilation across varying confining pressures.Higher rates diminished contractive volumetric strains and drainage volumes,indicating reduced densification and strength in the shear zone.Under undrained conditions,both unsaturated and quasi-saturated(pore pressure coefficient B=0.75)loess exhibited deteriorating mechanical properties with increasing rates from 0.03 mm/min to 0.3 mm/min.For unsaturated loess,reduced contractive volumetric strains at higher rates manifested relatively looser structures in the pre-peak stress phase.The strength decrement in quasi-saturated loess arose from elevated excess porewater pressures diminishing effective stresses.Negative porewater pressures emerged in quasi-saturated loess at lower confining pressures and strain rates.Compared to previous studies,the qf and Ei exhibited rate sensitivity below threshold values before attaining minima with marginal subsequent influence.The underlying mechanism mirrors the transition from creep to accelerated deformation phase of landslides.

文摘Drains play an important role in seepage control in geotechnical engineering.The enormous number and one-dimensional(1D)geometry of drainage holes make their nature difficult to be accurately modeled in groundwater flow simulation.It has been well understood that drains function by presenting discharge boundaries,which can be characterized by water head,no-flux,unilateral or mixed water head-unilateral boundary condition.It has been found after years of practices that the flow simulation may become erroneous if the transitions among the drain boundary conditions are not properly considered.For this,a rigorous algorithm is proposed in this study to detect the onset of transitions among the water head,noflux and mixed water head-unilateral boundary conditions for downwards-drilled drainage holes,which theoretically completes the description of drain boundary conditions.After verification against a numerical example,the proposed algorithm is applied to numerical modeling of groundwater flow through a gravity dam foundation.The simulation shows that for hundreds of downwards-drilled drainage holes used to be prescribed with water head boundary condition,56%and 2%of them are transitioned to mixed water head-unilateral and no-flux boundary conditions,respectively.The phreatic surface around the drains will be overestimated by 25e33 m without the use of the mixed boundary condition.For the first time,this study underscores the importance of the mixed water head-unilateral boundary condition and the proposed transition algorithm in drain modeling,which may become more essential for simulation of transient flow because of groundwater dynamics.

文摘The northwestern margin of Junggar Basin is the region with the richest oil sand resources in China.For better understanding the enrichment rules and deployment of exploration and development of regional oil sand,it is of great scientific significance to study the accumulation conditions of oil sand in different strata and mining areas of the Junggar Basin.Through a large number of field investigations,drilling verification and sampling tests,it is found that the oil sand in the region covers an area of 2000 km^(2),with shallow and thick reservoir,and predicted resource of 180 million tons.The oil sand resources are mainly distributed in four geological strata,namely the Middle Triassic Karamay Formation,Early Jurassic Badaowan Formation,Late Jurassic Qigu Formation,and Early Cretaceous Qingshuihe Formation.The reservoir is mainly composed of sandstone with high porosity and permeability,and the reservoir space is mainly intergranular pores with a medium average oil content.The oil sand deposit in the region is a typical destructive oil reservoir.The crude oil in the oil sand layer is degraded and thickened from the deep to the shallow,the content of saturated hydrocarbon decreased,and the content of aromatic hydrocarbon,non-hydrocarbon and asphaltene increased.The oil source comes from the deep Permian hydrocarbon-generating depression.Unconformities,faults and marginal fan delta-braided river depositional systems constitute effective migration and storage systems.Caprocks of the Upper Triassic Baijiantan Formation,Lower Jurassic Sangonghe Formation and Lower Cretaceous Hutubihe Formation were formed by three large scale lake transgressions.The Indosinian,Yanshan and Late Yanshan movements are the main driving forces for the migration of deep oil and gas to the shallow edge to form oil sand deposits.It is considered that the oil sand in the northwestern margin of Junggar Basin is of a slope complex migration type.

文摘Rechargeable zinc(Zn)-ion batteries(RZIBs) with hydrogel electrolytes(HEs) have gained significant attention in the last decade owing to their high safety, low cost, sufficient material abundance, and superb environmental friendliness, which is extremely important for wearable energy storage applications. Given that HEs play a critical role in building flexible RZIBs, it is urgent to summarize the recent advances in this field and elucidate the design principles of HEs for practical applications. This review systematically presents the development history, recent advances in the material fundamentals, functional designs, challenges, and prospects of the HEs-based RZIBs. Firstly, the fundamentals, species, and flexible mechanisms of HEs are discussed, along with their compatibility with Zn anodes and various cathodes. Then, the functional designs of hydrogel electrolytes in harsh conditions are comprehensively discussed, including high/low/wide-temperature windows, mechanical deformations(e.g., bending, twisting, and straining), and damages(e.g., cutting, burning, and soaking). Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives for advancing HEs-based RZIBs are outlined.

文摘ZnO is a highly significant II-VI semiconductor known for its excellent optoelectronic properties,making it widely applicable and promising for use in light-emitting devices,solar cells,lasers,and photodetectors.The methods for preparing ZnO are diverse,and among them,the hydrothermal method is favored for its simplicity,ease of operation,and low cost,making it an optimal choice for ZnO single-crystal growth.Most studies investigating the effects of different hydrothermal experimental parameters on the morphology and performance of ZnO nano-materials typically focus on only 2—3 variable parameters,with few examining the impact of all possible experimental parameter changes on ZnO nano-mate-rials.The principles of the hydrothermal method and its advantages in nano-material preparation were briefly introduced in this article.The detailed discussion on the influence of various experimental parameters on the preparation of ZnO nano-materials was provided,which including reaction materials,Zn^(2+)/OH^(-)ratio,reaction time and temperature,additives,experimental equipment,and annealing conditions.The review co-vers how different experimental parameters affect the morphology and performance of the materials,as well as how different rare earth doping elements influence the performance of ZnO nano-materials.It is hoped that this work will contribute to future research on the hydrothermal synthesis of nano-materials.

文摘In addition to the organic matter type,abundance,thermal maturity,and shale reservoir space,the preservation conditions of source rocks play a key factor in affecting the quantity and quality of retained hydrocarbons in source rocks of lacustrine shale,yet this aspect has received little attention.This paper,based on the case analysis,explores how preservation conditions influence the enrichment of mobile hydrocarbons in shale oil.Research showns that good preservation conditions play three key roles.(1)Ensure the retention of sufficient light hydrocarbons(C_(1)–C_(13)),medium hydrocarbons(C_(14)–C_(25))and small molecular aromatics(including 1–2 benzene rings)in the formation,which enhances the fluidity and flow of shale oil;(2)Maintain a high energy field(abnormally high pressure),thus facilitating the maximum outflow of shale oil;(3)Ensure that the retained hydrocarbons have the miscible flow condition of multi-component hydrocarbons(light hydrocarbons,medium hydrocarbons,heavy hydrocarbons,and heteroatomic compounds),so that the heavy hydrocarbons(C_(25+))and heavy components(non-hydrocarbons and asphaltenes)have improved fluidity and maximum flow capacity.In conclusion,in addition to the advantages of organic matter type,abundance,thermal maturity,and reservoir space,good preservation conditions of shale layers are essential for the formation of economically viable shale oil reservoirs,which should be incorporated into the evaluation criteria of shale oil-rich areas/segments and considered a necessary factor when selecting favorable exploration targets.
