Crystal structure of the ligand revealed the ＂keto＂ form of ligand in solid state other than the ＂enor＇ one, and it was also found that two kinds of molecules with different conformations were connected by hydrogen bonding between amide N-H and phos- phoryl P=O. This ionic ligand was used to coordinate a variety of lanthanide ions, forming neutral 3：1 complexes.

In this study, cloud microphysical processes such as raindrop evaporation and cloud water accretion in a double-moment six-class cloud microphysics scheme were revised to enhance the simulation of low clouds using the Global-Regional Integrated Forecast System(GRIST)model. The validation of the revised scheme using a single-column version of the GRIST demonstrated a reasonable reduction in liquid water biases. The revised parameterization simulated medium-and low-level cloud fractions that were in better agreement with the observations than the original scheme. Long-term global simulations indicate the mitigation of the originally overestimated low-level cloud fraction and cloud-water mixing ratio in mid-to high-latitude regions,primarily owing to enhanced accretion processes and weakened raindrop evaporation. The reduced low clouds with the revised scheme showed better consistency with satellite observations, particularly at mid-and high-latitudes. Further improvements can be observed in the simulated cloud shortwave radiative forcing and vertical distribution of total cloud cover. Annual precipitation in mid-latitude regions has also improved, particularly over the oceans, with significantly increased large-scale and decreased convective precipitation.展开更多

文摘This article presents an adaptive intelligent control strategy applied to a lumped-parameter evaporator model,i.e.,a simplified dynamic representation treating the evaporator as a single thermal node with uniform temperature distribution,suitable for control design due to its balance between physical fidelity and computational simplicity.The controller uses a wavelet-based neural proportional,integral,derivative(PID)controller with IIR filtering(infinite impulse response).The dynamic model captures the essential heat and mass transfer phenomena through a nonlinear energy balance,where the cooling capacity“Qevap”is expressed as a non-linear function of the compressor frequency and the temperature difference,specifically,Q_(evap)=k_(1)u(T_(in)−T_(e))with u as compressor frequency,Te evaporator temperature,and Tin inlet fluid temperature.The operating conditions of the system,in general terms,focus on the following variables,the overall thermal capacity is 1000 J/K,typical for small-capacity heat exchangers,The mass flow is 0.05 kg/s,typical for secondary liquid cooling circuits,the overall loss coefficient of 50 W/K that corresponds to small evaporators with partial insulation,the temperatures(inlet)of 10℃and the temperature of environment of 25℃,thermal load of 200 W that corresponds to a small-scaled air conditioning applications.To handle system nonlinearities and improve control performance,aMorlet wavelet-based neural network(Wavenet)is used to dynamically adjust the PID gains online.An IIR filter is incorporated to smooth the adaptive gains,improving stability and reducing oscillations.In contrast to prior wavelet-or neural-adaptive PID controllers in HVAC applications,which typically adjust gains without explicit filtering or not tailored to evaporator dynamics,this work introduces the first PID–Wavenet scheme augmented with an IIR-based stabilization layer,specifically designed to address the combined challenges of nonlinear evaporator behavior,gain oscillation,and real-time implementability.The proposed controller(PID-Wavenet+IIR)is implemented and validated inMATLAB/Simulink,demonstrating superior performance compared to a conventional PID tuned using Simulink’s auto-tuning function.Key results include a reduction in settling time from 13.3 to 8.2 s,a reduction in overshoot from 3.5%to 0.8%,a reduction in steady-state error from 0.12℃ to 0.02℃and a 13%reduction in energy overall consumption.The controller also exhibits greater robustness and adaptability under varying thermal loads.This explicit integration of wavelet-driven adaptation with IIR-filtered gain shaping constitutes the main methodological contribution and novelty of the work.These findings validate the effectiveness of the wavelet-based adaptive approach for advanced thermal management in refrigeration and HVAC systems,with potential applications in controlling variable-speed compressors,liquid chillers,and compact cooling units.

文摘By combining the merits of radiative cooling(RC)and evaporation cooling(EC),radiative coupled evaporative cooling(REC)has attracted considerable attention for sub-ambient cooling purposes.However,for outdoor devices,the interior heating power would increase the working temperature and fire risk,which would suppress their above-ambient heat dissipation capabilities and passive water cycle properties.In this work,we introduced a REC design based on an all-in-one photonic hydrogel for above-ambient heat dissipation and flame retardancy.Unlike conventional design RC film for heat dissipation with limited cooling power and fire risk,REC hydrogel can greatly improve the heat dissipation performance in the daytime with a high workload,indicating a 12.0℃lower temperature than the RC film under the same conditions in the outdoor experiment.In the nighttime with a low workload,RC-assisted adsorption can improve atmospheric water harvesting to ensure EC in the daytime.In addition,our REC hydrogel significantly enhanced flame retardancy by absorbing heat without a corresponding temperature rise,thus mitigating fire risks.Thus,our design shows a promising solution for the thermal management of outdoor devices,delivering outstanding performance in both heat dissipation and flame retardancy.

文摘While desalination is a key solution for global freshwater scarcity,its implementation faces environmental challenges due to concentrated brine byproducts mainly disposed of via coastal discharge systems.Solar interfacial evaporation offers sustainable management potential,yet inevitable salt nucleation at evaporation interfaces degrades photothermal conversion and operational stability via light scattering and pathway blockage.Inspired by the mangrove leaf,we propose a photothermal 3D polydopamine and polypyrrole polymerized spacer fabric(PPSF)-based upward hanging model evaporation configuration with a reverse water feeding mechanism.This design enables zero-liquiddischarge(ZLD)desalination through phase-separation crystallization.The interconnected porous architecture and the rough surface of the PPSF enable superior water transport,achieving excellent solar-absorbing efficiency of 97.8%.By adjusting the tilt angle(θ),the evaporator separates the evaporation and salt crystallization zones via controlled capillary-driven brine transport,minimizing heat dissipation from brine discharge.At an optimal tilt angle of 52°,the evaporator reaches an evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) with minimal heat loss(0.366 W)under 1-sun illumination while treating a 7 wt%waste brine solution.Furthermore,it sustains an evaporation rate of 2.71 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) over 72 h while ensuring efficient salt recovery.These results highlight a scalable,energy-efficient approach for sustainable ZLD desalination.

文摘Stable isotope analysis of water(δD and δ^(18)O)is widely used to trace water cycle processes in aquatic ecosystems,based on the established assumption that biological activity does not cause isotopic fractionation of water.Here,we found that phytoplankton photosynthesis elevated ambient water δ^(18)O and δD values,a conclusion supported by a large-scale survey across extensive spatiotemporal environmental gradients and further confirmed by a laboratory culture experiment.This biological effect depended on phytoplankton biomass and light utilization efficiency and could result in a deviation of at least 16.7% in the slope of the water δD-δ^(18)O regression line.We termed this phenomenon the“biological evaporation effect”.Given the potential universality of this effect across aquatic ecosystems,our findings challenge the conventional paradigm in isotope hydrology.

文摘Clouds play an important role in global atmospheric energy and water vapor budgets, and the low cloud simulations suffer from large biases in many atmospheric general circulation models. In this study, cloud microphysical processes such as raindrop evaporation and cloud water accretion in a double-moment six-class cloud microphysics scheme were revised to enhance the simulation of low clouds using the Global-Regional Integrated Forecast System(GRIST)model. The validation of the revised scheme using a single-column version of the GRIST demonstrated a reasonable reduction in liquid water biases. The revised parameterization simulated medium-and low-level cloud fractions that were in better agreement with the observations than the original scheme. Long-term global simulations indicate the mitigation of the originally overestimated low-level cloud fraction and cloud-water mixing ratio in mid-to high-latitude regions,primarily owing to enhanced accretion processes and weakened raindrop evaporation. The reduced low clouds with the revised scheme showed better consistency with satellite observations, particularly at mid-and high-latitudes. Further improvements can be observed in the simulated cloud shortwave radiative forcing and vertical distribution of total cloud cover. Annual precipitation in mid-latitude regions has also improved, particularly over the oceans, with significantly increased large-scale and decreased convective precipitation.

文摘Solar-driven interfacial evaporation presents a promising approach to address global freshwater scarcity.Current challenges in photothermal membrane design lie in achieving concurrent optimization of high solar absorption,low thermal conductivity,and water transport,where existing materials fail to establish effective“water-heat-salt”synergistic regulation at the evaporation interface.This study develops a seamlessly integrated Janus membrane through growing hydrophilic Cu_(2−x)S nanostructure on a hydrophobic carbon cloth substrate with carbon black coating(CB/CC).By precisely engineering the submicron pore architecture within the Cu_(2−x)S layer,we established a synergistic optimization mechanism for interfacial water transport,heat management,and salt rejection.The resulting Janus membrane demonstrates a high evaporation rate of 2.22 kg m^(−2)h^(−1)under 1 sun with an energy efficiency of about 88.4%.Notably,the system maintains stable operation in hypersaline environments(20 wt%NaCl)and achieves continuous 5-h salt-resistant evaporation.Moreover,the Janus membranes can effectively purify various industrial wastewater,including acidic,alkaline,and organic pollutants.This study provides a new strategy for developing high-efficiency portable desalination systems through interfacial engineering of pore architecture.

文摘S and Co co-doped carbon catalysts were prepared via pyrolysis of MOF-71 and thiourea mixtures at 800℃at a mass ratio of MOF-71 to thiourea of 1:0.1 to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for methylene blue(MB)degradation.The effects of two different mixing routes were identified on the MB degradation performance.Particularly,the catalyst obtained by the alcohol solvent evaporation(MOF-AEP)mixing route could degrade 95.60%MB(50 mg/L)within 4 min(degradation rate:K=0.78 min^(-1)),which was faster than that derived from the direct grinding method(MOF-DGP,80.97%,K=0.39 min^(-1)).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Co-S content of MOF-AEP(43.39at%)was less than that of MOF-DGP(54.73at%),and the proportion of C-S-C in MOF-AEP(13.56at%)was higher than that of MOF-DGP(10.67at%).Density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption energy of Co for PMS was -2.94 eV when sulfur was doped as C-S-C on the carbon skeleton,which was higher than that when sulfur was doped next to cobalt in the form of Co-S bond(-2.86 eV).Thus,the C-S-C sites might provide more contributions to activate PMS compared with Co-S.Furthermore,the degradation parameters,including pH and MOF-AEP dosage,were investigated.Finally,radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements revealed that ^(1)O_(2)might be the primary catalytic species,whereas·O~(2-)might be the secondary one in degrading MB.

文摘The Taklimakan Desert,located in the heart of central Asia,covers approximately 330000 km^(2),making it China's largest desert and the world's second-largest shifting desert(Dong et al.,2024).With an average annual precipitation of less than 100 mm and evaporation rates ranging from 2000 to 3000 mm(Yang et al.,2020),it is recognized as one of the driest regions on Earth,often referred to as the“sea of death”.
文摘Using the new soft X-ray data from the Macao Science Satellite-1,we studied a solar flare that occurred on 22 June 2023.We found that the centroids of the Ca(around 3.9 keV)and Fe(around 6.7 keV)line features exhibit a rapid shift toward higher energy channels during the flare's rising phase,followed by a gradual decrease during the decay phase.Through precise energy calibration,the centroids are determined with high accuracy.Temperature and velocity are then self-consistently derived by comparing the centroids with those calculated from the synthesized line features using the latest CHIANTI atomic database(ver.10.1).The calculated maximum velocity reaches up to 710±60 km s-1,which significantly exceeds the previously reported values.Our results suggest that the entire shift of soft X-ray lines may occur during the process of chromospheric evaporation.

文摘Combustion dynamics are a critical factor in determining the performance and reliabilityof a chemical propulsion engine.The underlying processes include liquid atomization,evaporation,mixing,and chemical reactions.This paper presents a high-fidelity numerical study of liquidatomization and spray combustion under high-pressure conditions,emphasizing the effects of pres-sure oscillations on the flow evolution and combustion dynamics.The theoretical framework isbased on the three-dimensional conservation equations for multiphase flows and turbulent combus-tion.The numerical solution is achieved using a coupling method of volume-of-fluid and Lagran-gian particle tracking.The Zhuang-Kadota-Sutton(ZKS)high-pressure evaporation model andthe eddy breakup-Arrhenius combustion model are employed.Simulations are conducted for amodel combustion chamber with impinging-jet injectors using liquid oxygen and kerosene as pro-pellants.Both conditions with and without inlet and outlet pressure oscillations are considered.Thefindings reveal that pressure oscillations amplify flow fluctuations and can be characterized usingkey physical parameters such as droplet evaporation,chemical reaction,and chamber pressure.The spectral analysis uncovers the axial variations of the dominant and secondary frequenciesand their amplitudes in terms of the characteristic physical quantities.This research helps establisha methodology for exploring the coupling effect of liquid atomization and spray combustion.It alsoprovides practical insights into their responses to pressure oscillations during the occurrence ofcombustion instability.This information can be used to enhance the design and operation ofliquid-fueled propulsion engines.

文摘Interfacial solar evaporation,which captures solar energy and localizes the absorbed heat for water evaporation,is considered a promising technology for seawater desalination and solar energy conversion.However,it is currently limited by its low photothermal conversion efficiency,salt accumulation,and poor reliability.Herein,inspired by human intestinal villi structure,we design and fabricate a novel intestinal villi-like nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes solar steam generator(N-CNTs SSG)consisting of three-dimensional(3D)hierarchical carbon nanotube matrices for ultrahigh solar evaporation efficiency.The 3D matrices with radial direction nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube clusters achieve ultrahigh surface area,photothermal efficiency,and hydrophilicity,which significantly intensifies the whole interfacial solar evaporation process.The new solar evaporation efficiency reaches as high as 96.8%.Furthermore,our ab initio molecular dynamics simulation reveals that N-doped carbon nanotubes exhibit a greater number of electronic states in close proximity to the Fermi level when compared to pristine carbon nanotubes.The outstanding absorptivity in the full solar spectrum and high solar altitude angles of the 3D hierarchical carbon nanotube matrices offer great potential to enable ultrahigh photothermal conversion under all-day and all-season circumstances.
文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid clusters with strong X-ray radioluminescence have exhibited great potential in scintillator field.However,fabricating the X-ray imaging screens of the clusters without sacrificing the scintillation performance is challenging.Herein,we report an effective way to prepare high-quality scintillation films of two synthesized Cu(Ⅰ)clusters through vacuum evaporation deposition.The developed Cu(Ⅰ)clusters with rigid molecular structures show excellent scintillation performance with a high light yield of up to 19356.7 photons/MeV and a low detection limit of 158 nGy/s.The scintillation film based on the Cu(Ⅰ)clusters made by vacuum evaporation deposition is highly uniform with a small surface roughness value of 1.04 nm,which can be applied to X-ray imaging for various objects.These results not only provide important guidance to develop high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid scintillators,but also pave a straightforward way to prepare non-doped scintillation screens for remarkable X-ray imaging applications.
