An analytic model and computational method were established based on the process of gas diffusion in boundary layer and the equilibrium relations in surface chemical reactions. Simultaneously, an engineering equation to predict the oxygen partial pressure of active-to-passive transition was derived under the specific temperature zone. The results indicated that the active-to-passive oxidation transition of C/SiC is closely related to the composition of the material. At certain temperature and oxygen partial pressure conditions, the composite with high carbon content is prone to cause active oxidation which is negative to the oxidation resistance of the material.展开更多

文摘Hydrogen energy is very likely to benefit the next generation of technology,owing to its unparalleled energy efficiency,intrinsic clean nature,and renewable properties[1].With the application of the photovoltaic industry and water electrolysis,H_(2)production with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions becomes feasible.At present,the key obstacle to the large-scale and safe application of H_(2)fuel lies in its transportation and storage.Herein,developing inexpensive liquid H_(2)storage media,such as methanol or ammonia,and the relevant catalytic techniques are of vital significance[2].
