This paper studied the shell-side heat and mass transfer characteristics of vapor-liquid two-phase mixed refrigerants in an SWHE by combining a multi-component model in FLUENT software with a customized multicomponent mass transfer model. Besides, the mathematical model under the sloshing condition was obtained through mathematical derivation, and the corresponding UDF code was loaded into FLUENT as the momentum source term. The results under the sloshing conditions were compared with the relevant parameters under the steady-state condition. The shell-side heat and mass transfer characteristics of the SWHE were investigated by adjusting the component ratio and other working conditions. It was found that the sloshing conditions enhance the heat transfer performance and sometimes have insignificant effects. The sloshing condition is beneficial to reduce the flow resistance. The comprehensive performance of multi-component refrigerants has been improved and the improvement is more significant under sloshing conditions, considering both the heat transfer and pressure drop.These results will provide theoretical support for the research and design of multi-component heat and mass transfer enhancement of LNG SWHE under ocean sloshing conditions.展开更多

文摘Microneedle(MN)is a medical device containing an array of needles with a micrometer-scale.It can penetrate the human stratum corneum painlessly and efficiently for treatment and diagnosis purposes.Currently,the materials commonly used to manufacture MNs include silicon,polymers,ceramics and metals.Metallic MNs(MMNs)have drawn significant attention owing to its superior mechanical properties,machinability,and biocompatibility.This paper is a state-of-the-art review of the structure,fabrication technologies,and applications of MMNs.According to the relative position of the axis of MN and the plane of the substrate,MMNs can be divided into in-plane and out-of-plane.Solid,hollow,coated and porous MMNs are also employed to characterize their internal and surface structures.Until now,numerous fabrication technologies,including cutting tool machining,non-traditional machining,etching,hot-forming,and additive manufacturing,have been used to fabricate MMNs.The recent advances in the application of MMNs in drug delivery,disease diagnosis,and cosmetology are also discussed in-depth.Finally,the shortcomings in the fabrication and application of MMNs and future directions for development are highlighted.

文摘Theproliferation of Internet of Things(IoT)devices introduces substantial security challenges.Currently,privacy constitutes a significant concern for individuals.While maintaining privacy within these systems is an essential characteristic,it often necessitates certain compromises,such as complexity and scalability,thereby complicating management efforts.The principal challenge lies in ensuring confidentiality while simultaneously preserving individuals’anonymity within the system.To address this,we present our proposed architecture for managing IoT devices using blockchain technology.Our proposed architecture works on and off blockchain and is integrated with dashcams and closed-circuit television(CCTV)security cameras.In this work,the videos recorded by the dashcams and CCTV security cameras are hashed through the InterPlanetary File System(IPFS)and this hash is stored in the blockchain.When the accessors want to access the video,they must pass through multiple authentications which include web token authentication and verifiable credentials,to mitigate the risk of malicious users.Our contributions include the proposition of the framework,which works on the single key for every new video,and a novel chaincode algorithm that incorporates verifiable credentials.Analyses are made to show the system’s throughput and latency through stress testing.Significant advantages of the proposed architecture are shown by comparing them to existing schemes.The proposed architecture features a robust design that significantly enhances the security of blockchain-enabled Internet of Things(IoT)deviceswhile effectively mitigating the risk of a single point of failure,which provides a reliable solution for security concerns in the IoT landscape.Our future endeavors will focus on scaling the system by integrating innovative methods to enhance security measures further.
