The objective of this study was to propose some spice formulations based on local ingredients in order to reduce the use of chemical spices in the preparation of different dishes. The Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology was used for the formulation of the spices and their physicochemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics were evaluated by standardized and standard methods. The results obtained showed lipid contents (g/100 g DM) ranging from 10.41 ± 0.26 to 15.64 ± 0.68, total sugars from 4.39 ± 0.32 to 5.46 ± 0.31, protein from 3.65 ± 0.17 to 12.04 ± 0.35 and ash from 5.83 ± 0.01 to 7.02 ± 0.01. The polyphenol content ranged from 9.09 ± 1.60 to 11.33 ± 0.90, and the flavonoid content ranged from 0.65 ± 0.03 to 1.08 ± 0.13. The sensory analysis carried out showed that the spices have generally satisfactory organoleptic characteristics. These results constitute new information in the diet of populations and are an alternative to the chemical spices used in their cooking.展开更多

Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.展开更多

文摘Hydraulic fracturing has become the main technology for the efficient development of geothermal energy in hot dry rock(HDR),however,few studies on the propagation behavior and mechanism of HDR hydraulic fractures under high-temperature conditions have investigated.In this paper,a large-size high-temperature true triaxial hydraulic fracturing physical modeling apparatus is designed,and hydraulic fracturing experiments with it are performed to investigate the fracture initiation and propagation behavior in natural granite samples collected from Gonghe Basin,thefirst HDR site in China.The experimental results show that the designed high-temperature apparatus provides a constant-temperature condition during the whole hydraulic fracturing process and the maximum temperature can reach 600℃,showing its ability to simulate realistic temperatures and pressures in both ultra-deep and HDR formations.Although the tensile strength of the rock samples remains almost unchanged at a temperature of 200℃,the cooling effects of the fracturingfluid in high-temperature rock can induce the formation of microfractures and significantly reduce the rock strength,thus lowering the breakdown pressure and increasing the complexity of the hydraulic fracture morphology.Compared with traditional oil and gas reservoirs,the hydraulic fractures in HDR are rougher and the specific surface area of a single fracture is larger,which can be helpful for heat extraction.This study provides a basis for understanding hydraulic fracture geometries andfield construction design in HDRs.

文摘The solubility of Au in silicate melts and fluids governs the enrichment and migration of Au during the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal Au deposits.Large Au deposits require vast amounts of Au to migrate from the upper mantle-lower crust to the shallow crust,and high Au solubility in magma and hydrothermal fluid facilitates the formation of Au-rich magma and fluid in the crust and mantle source and efficient transport.This paper reviews recent high-pressure and high-temperature experimental studies on Au species in magmas and hydrothermal fluids,the partitioning behavior of Au between silicate melts and fluids,and the effects of temperature,pressure,oxygen fugacity,sulfur fugacity,silicate melt composition,and volatiles(H2O,CO2,chlorine,and sulfur)on the solubility of Au in magma.We show that the solubility of Au in magma is largely controlled by the volatiles in the magma:the higher the content of reduced sulfur(S2-and HS-)in the magma,the higher the solubility of Au.Under high-temperature,high-pressure,H2O-rich,and intermediate oxygen fugacity conditions,magma can dissolve more reduced sulfur species,thus enhancing the ability of the magma to transport Au.If the ore-forming elements of the Au deposits in the North China Craton originate from mantle-derived magmas and fluids,we can conclude,in terms of massive Au migration,that these deep Au-rich magmas might have been generated under H2 O-rich and moderately oxidized conditions(S2-coexists with S6+).The big mantle wedge beneath East Asia was metasomatized by melts and fluids from the dehydration of the Early Cretaceous paleo-Pacific stagnant slab,which not only caused thinning of the North China Craton,but also created physicochemical conditions favorable for massive Au migration.

文摘The research on high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption materials with high-temperature and oxidative stability in extreme environments is gaining popularity.Herein,the lightweight silicon carbide nanowires(SiC_(nws))/SiC composites are fabricated with in-situ SiC interface on one-dimensional oriented SiC_(nws)skeleton,which collaborative configuration by 3D printing and freeze casting assembly.The con-structed porous structure optimizes the impedance matching degree and scattering intensity,the maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))of 5.9 GHz and the minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−41.4 dB can be realized.Considering the inherent oxidation resistance of SiC,the composites present well-maintained absorption performance at 600℃.Even at 1100℃,the EAB_(max)of 4.9 GHz and RLmin of−30.4 dB also demonstrate the high-temperature absorption stability of the composites,indicating exceptional wave absorption properties and thermal stability.The slight attenuation can be attributed to the decrease in impedance matching capability accompanying the elevated dielectric constant.This work clarifies the impact of structure and component synergy on wave absorption behavior,and offers a novel approach to producing high-performance and high-temperature resistance ceramic-based electromagnetic wave absorption materials suitable for extreme environments.

文摘Powder metallurgy was used to fabricate TiC-NiCr cermets and the oxidation behavior at 900℃ was investigated.Results reveal that TiC-NiCr cermets have uniform structures with excellent mechanical properties,whose hardness is 65 HRC and flexural strength is 1450 MPa.The high-temperature oxidation mechanism of TiC-based cermets was investigated through an X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope.The added elements Ni and Cr along with their solid solutions not only bond with the hard phase TiC to ensure the physical performance of the cermet,but also impede the internal diffusion during oxidation by forming a dense composite oxide layer,thereby enhancing the oxidation resistance.The TiC-NiCr cermet exhibits a dense protective oxide layer at 900℃ and can endure continuous oxidation for approximately 1000 h.A methodology for fabricating TiC-NiCr metal matrix composites is proposed,and their oxidation resistance is evaluated,providing a theoretical and practical basis for simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance and reducing production costs.

文摘A high-temperature reduction roasting method was used to achieve metallic iron and zinc recovery from blast furnace gas ash(BFA).The reduction processes for Zn-containing and Fe-containing oxides were analyzed in detail by using ther-modynamic equilibrium calculation and the principle of minimum free energy.The results showed that the main reaction in the system is the reduction of ZnFe_(2)_(4)and iron oxides.Over the full temperature range,iron oxides were more easily reduced than zinc oxides.Regardless of the amount of CO contained in the system,the reduction of ZnO to Zn was difficult to proceed below the boiling point(906℃)of Zn.When the reduction temperature is below 906℃,the reduction process of zinc ferrate was ZnFe_(2)_(4)→ZnO;when the reduction temperature is above 906℃,its reduction process becomed ZnFe_(2)_(4)→ZnO→Zn(g).The metallization and dezincification rates of the BFA gradually increased with increasing reaction temperature.As the C/O ratio increased,the metallization and dezincification rates first increased and then decreased.The effect of reduction time on BFA reduction was similar to that of reaction temperature.

文摘(TiZrHf)_(50)Ni_(30)Cu_(20-x)Co_(x)(x=2,4,6,at%)high-entropy high-temperature shape memory alloys were fabricated by watercooled copper crucible in a magnetic levitation vacuum melting furnace,and the effects of Co content on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated.The results indicate that the grain size of the alloy decreases with increasing the Co content.In the as-cast state,the alloy consists primarily of the B19′phase,with a trace of B2 phase.The fracture morphology is predominantly composed of the B19′phase,whereas the B2 phase is nearly absent.Increasing the Co content or reducing the sample dimensions(d)markedly enhance the compressive strength and ductility of the alloy.When d=2 mm,the(TiZrHf)_(50)Ni_(30)Cu_(14)Co_(6) alloy demonstrates the optimal mechanical properties,achieving a compressive strength of 2142.39±1.8 MPa and a plasticity of 17.31±0.3%.The compressive cyclic test shows that with increasing the compressive strain,the residual strain of the(TiZrHf)_(50)Ni_(30)Cu_(14)Co_(6) alloy increases while the recovery ability declines.The superelastic recovery capability of the alloy is continuously enhanced.The superelastic recovery rate increases from 1.36%to 2.12%,the residual strain rate rises from 1.79%to 5.52%,the elastic recovery rate ascends from 3.86%to 7.36%,while the total recovery rate declines from 74.48%to 63.20%.

文摘Co-based alloy coating was prepared on Zr alloy using laser melting and cladding technique to study the difference in the high-temperature oxidation behavior between pure metal Co coatings and Co-T800 alloy coatings,as well as the wear resistance of the coatings.Besides,the effect of changing the laser melting process on the coatings was also investigated.The oxidation mass gain at 800–1200℃and the high-temperature oxidation behavior during high-temperature treatment for 1 h of two coated Zr alloy samples were studied.Results show that the Co coating and the Co-T800 coating have better resistance against high-temperature oxidation.After oxidizing at 1000℃for 1 h,the thickness of the oxide layer of the uncoated sample was 241.0μm,whereas that of the sample with Co-based coating is only 11.8–35.5μm.The friction wear test shows that the depth of the abrasion mark of the coated sample is only 1/2 of that of the substrate,indicating that the hardness and wear resistance of the Zr substrate are greatly improved.The disadvantage of Co-based coatings is the inferior corrosion resistance in 3.5wt%NaCl solution.
文摘A spice formulation study in Burkina Faso was carried out using local ingredients for the benefit of households. The objective of this study was to propose some spice formulations based on local ingredients in order to reduce the use of chemical spices in the preparation of different dishes. The Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology was used for the formulation of the spices and their physicochemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics were evaluated by standardized and standard methods. The results obtained showed lipid contents (g/100 g DM) ranging from 10.41 ± 0.26 to 15.64 ± 0.68, total sugars from 4.39 ± 0.32 to 5.46 ± 0.31, protein from 3.65 ± 0.17 to 12.04 ± 0.35 and ash from 5.83 ± 0.01 to 7.02 ± 0.01. The polyphenol content ranged from 9.09 ± 1.60 to 11.33 ± 0.90, and the flavonoid content ranged from 0.65 ± 0.03 to 1.08 ± 0.13. The sensory analysis carried out showed that the spices have generally satisfactory organoleptic characteristics. These results constitute new information in the diet of populations and are an alternative to the chemical spices used in their cooking.

文摘The tensile strength of rocks under real-time high-temperatures is essential for enhanced geothermal system development.However,the complex occurrence and deep burial of hot dry rocks limit the quantity and quality of standard samples for mechanical testing.This paper compared the tensile strengths obtained from Brazilian splitting tests on standard samples(with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 25 mm)and micro-tensile samples(with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 25 mm)of two types of granites.A power-law size effect model was established between the two sets of data,validating the reliability of the testing method.Then,miniature Brazilian splitting under real-time high-temperature,combined with X-ray diffraction(XRD)revealed temperature-dependent strength variations and microstructural damage mechanisms.The results show that:(1)The comparison error between the tensile strength obtained by the fitting model and that of the measured standard samples was less than 6%.(2)In real-time high-temperature conditions,tensile strength of granite exhibited non-monotonic behavior,increasing below 300°C before decreasing,with sharp declines at 400–500°C and 600–700°C.(3)Thermal damage stems from the differences in the high-temperature behavior of minerals,including dehydration,phase transformation,and differential expansion.
文摘With the rapid advancement of science and technology,along with an increasing global focus on space exploration,there is a growing concern for addressing friction and wear issues in surface coatings for components operating in high-temperature environments within the aerospace sector.However,typical high-temperature coatings currently face challenges in effectively integrating excellent oxidation resistance,wear resistance,and lubrication properties in high-temperature settings.Studies have demonstrated the significant potential of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides(TMDCs)as lubricant additives in high-temperature lubrication,attributable to their distinctive crystal structures.Thus,this review concentrates on the compositional design of individual MX_(2)-type(M=W,Mo,Nb,Ta;X=S,Se)TMDCs(molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2)),tungsten disulfide(WS2),niobium diselenide(NbSe_(2)),molybdenum diselenide(MoSe_(2)),tungsten diselenide(WSe_(2)))and their composites,including inorganic oxygen-containing sulfides,and explores the utilization of TMDCs in self-lubricating coatings.Furthermore,conventional preparation methods(mechanical exfoliation,liquid-phase ultrasonic exfoliation,chemical vapour deposition)for synthesizing TMDCs are outlined.Finally,an analysis of the lubrication mechanism of MX_(2)-type TMDCs is provided,along with future directions for enhancing the high-temperature lubrication performance of composite coatings.
文摘Investigating highly effective electrocatalysts for high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells(HT-PEMFC)requires the resistance to phosphate acid(PA)poisoning at cathodic oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Recent advancements in catalysts have focused on alleviating phosphoric anion adsorption on Pt-based catalysts with modified electronic structure or catalytic interface and developing Fe-N-C based catalysts with immunity of PA poisoning.Fe-N-C-based catalysts have emerged as promising alternatives to Pt-based catalysts,offering significant potential to overcome the characteristic adsorption of phosphate anion on Pt.An overview of these developments provides insights into catalytic mechanisms and facilitates the design of more efficient catalysts.This review begins with an exploration of basic poisoning principles,followed by a critical summary of characterization techniques employed to identified the underlying mechanism of poisoning effect.Attention is then directed to endeavors aimed at enhancing the HT-PEMFC performance by well-designed catalysts.Finally,the opportunities and challenges in developing the anti-PA poisoning strategy and practical HT-PEMFC is discussed.Through these discussions,a comprehensive understanding of PA-poisoning bottlenecks and inspire future research directions is aim to provided.

文摘In this work,the selected icebreaker model experiment is performed in a towing tank.We focus on the influence of seawater salinity on ship ice resistance in the ice floe field and the innovative ice model and ship model test technology,including the similitude rule of ship model tests,test principles,and validation with full-scale ship data.A formula for calculating the relationship between the temperature and salinity of the water is constructed,which can be used to simulate the role of seawater in freshwater ice pools.On this basis,the effect of salinity on the resistance of ships sailing in broken ice fields is studied.A technique in which artificial ice made of polyethylene spheres is used to simulate ice resistance is proposed.With a series of ship model experiments in spherical and triangular ice fields,the effects of salinity and velocity on the ice resistance test of the ship model are analyzed.A relationship of the ice resistance of the ship model to the spherical ice field and the triangular ice field is proposed.The conversion results are consistent with onsite data of the full-size ship,which verifies the method of converting the test results of the ship model to the prototype.

文摘The Al-Cu alloy is a historical model alloy system in the physical metallurgy of engineering aluminum al-loys.Nevertheless,a few fundamental phenomena of phase transformation occurring in this simple alloy are still not adequately understood.Among all,for instance,the formation mechanisms of its key harden-ingθ'-phase remain mysterious.There is strong evidence thatθ'-precipitates can form from a different high-temperature precipitation pathway,while their formation mechanism via the conventional pathway well-known since 1938 remains to be clarified.Using state-of-the-art electron microscopy,here we report a secondary high-temperature precipitation pathway ofθ'-precipitates.It is demonstrated that led by a secondary high-temperature precursor,namedθ'_(S-HTP),very fineθ'-precipitates can form in the unde-formed bulk Al-Cu alloys at elevated temperatures(≥250℃).Interestingly is that with Sc-microalloying the surviving rate of meta-stableθ'_(S-HTP) precipitates increases drastically and the formedθ'-precipitates become much finer,significantly enhancing the alloys’strength and thermal stability.It is also revealed that aθ'_(S-HTP) precipitate can genetically evolve into aθ'-precipitate without having to change its mor-phology and orientation.Our study provides new insights into understanding the industry bulk alloys’microstructures and properties.
文摘Considering the fracture problem of the silica-based ceramic core in the integrated casting of hollow turbine blades during directional solidification,the influence of various whiskers,including silicon carbide whiskers,silicon nitride whiskers,and mullite whiskers,on the high-temperature strength of the silica-based ceramic core was investigated.Additionally,the formation of microstructure morphology and phase structure was analyzed.Research results show that silicon carbide whiskers can reduce the microcracks caused by the shrinkage of cristobalite.During the sintering process,some of the silicon carbide whiskers oxidize and react with aluminum powder to form mullite,which can improve the high-temperature strength of the ceramic cores.When the content of silicon carbide whiskers is 3wt.%,the high-temperature bending strength of the cores reaches the maximum value of 21 MPa.Silicon nitride whiskers decompose in a high-temperature environment and react with aluminum powder in the matrix material to form mullite whiskers.When the content of silicon nitride whiskers is 5wt.%,the high-temperature bending strength of the cores reaches 20 MPa.By adding mullite whiskers,a structure of cristobalite wrapped mullite whiskers can be formed to achieve toughening.When the content of mullite whiskers is 4wt.%,the high-temperature bending strength can reach 17.2 MPa.By comparing the performance of silicon carbide whiskers,silicon nitride whiskers,and mullite whiskers,along with conducting slurry viscosity tests and casting experiments,it is determined that a ceramic slurry containing 4wt.%mullite whiskers is the most suitable for making the cores used in the integrated casting of hollow turbine blades.

文摘The launch of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project paves the way to wide adoption of DT fusion energy as future energy source.Efficient fuel cycle to minimize strategic tritium inventory proves crucial for commercially viable fusion technologies.ZrCo alloy is considered as a promising candidate for fast isotope handling.However,cycling degradation caused by hydrogen-induced disproportionation results in severe tritium trapping,thus impeding its practical application.Herein,an isostructural transition is successfully constructed with low hysterisis,ameliorated plateau flatness of pressure-composition isotherms and improved high-temperature durability for hydrogen trapping minimization.Specifically,the optimal Zr_(0.7)Hf_(0.15)Nb_(0.15)Co_(0.6)Cu_(0.15)Ni_(0.25) alloy adopts Hf-Nb and Cu-Ni as Zr and Co side doping elements,exhibiting substantial thermodynamic destabilization with nearly 90℃ reduction of delivery temperature,and significant kinetic promotion with a threefold lower energy barrier.More importantly,both hydrogen utilization and cycling retention of optimal alloy are increased by about twenty times compared with pristine alloy after 100 cycles at 500℃.Minimized disproportionation driving force from both isostructural transition and suppressed 8e hydrogen occupation realizes full potential of optimal alloy.This work demonstrates the effectiveness of combining isostructural transformation and high-temperature durability improvement to enhance the hydrogen utilization of ZrCo-based alloys and other hydrogen storage materials.

文摘Surface recrystallization(RX) is a typical grain defect observed in directionally solidified(DS) Ni-based superalloys. Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.

文摘By using fatigue crack propagation testing and microstructural characterization,the crack fracture and propagation mechanisms of K4169 superalloy under various loads were investigated.The results demonstrate that the grain sizes of K4169 superalloy significantly increase,and the precipitation of the needle-likeδphase and the Laves phase is observed.Voids and microcracks form at location of Laves phase enrichment,creating conditions for crack propagation.By the a−N(a is the crack length,and N is the number of cycles)relationship curve,the change in the fatigue crack growth rate with the increasing number of cycles progresses through three separate stages.The fracture process of K4169 superalloy under low-stress cyclic loading(3 kN)exhibits the ductile fracture.Subsequently,the fracture process starts to change from the ductile fracture to the brittle fracture as the stress increases to 4.5 kN.In the microstructures of fractures in both stress states,intergranular propagation is the mechanism responsible for crack propagation.Moreover,the Laves phase exists near the fracture crack,which is in line with the post-service structural phenomenon.
