Biodiesel is a clean and renewable energy,and it is an effective measure to optimize engine combustion fueled with biodiesel to meet the increasingly strict toxic and CO_(2) emission regulations of internal combustion...Biodiesel is a clean and renewable energy,and it is an effective measure to optimize engine combustion fueled with biodiesel to meet the increasingly strict toxic and CO_(2) emission regulations of internal combustion engines.A suitable-scale chemical kinetic mechanism is very crucial for the accurate and rapid prediction of engine combustion and emissions.However,most previous researchers developed the mechanism of blend fuels through the separate simplification and merging of the reduced mechanisms of diesel and biodiesel rather than considering their cross-reaction.In this study,a new reduced chemical reaction kinetics mechanism of diesel and biodiesel was constructed through the adoption of directed relationship graph (DRG),directed relationship graph with error propagation,and full-species sensitivity analysis (FSSA).N-heptane and methyl decanoate (MD) were selected as surrogates of traditional diesel and biodiesel,respectively.In this mechanism,the interactions between the intermediate products of both fuels were considered based on the cross-reaction theory.Reaction pathways were revealed,and the key species involved in the oxidation of n-heptane and MD were identified through sensitivity analyses.The reduced mechanism of n-heptane/MD consisting of 288 species and 800 reactions was developed and sufficiently verified by published experimental data.Prediction maps of ignition delay time were established at a wide range of parameter matrices (temperature from 600 to 1 700 K,pressure from 10 bar to 80 bar,equivalence ratio from 0.5 to 1.5) and different substitution ratios to identify the occurrence regions of the crossreaction.Concentration and sensitivity analyses were then conducted to further investigate the effects of cross-reactions.The results indicate temperature as the primary factor causing cross-reactivity.In addition,the reduced mechanism with cross-reactions was more accurate than that without cross-reactions.At 700–1 000 K,the cross-reactions inhibited the consumption of n-heptane/MD,which resulted in a prolonged ignition delay time.At this point,the elementary reaction,NC_(7)H_(16)+OH<=>C_(7)H_(15)-2+H_(2)O,played a dominant role in fuel consumption.Specifically,the contribution of the MD consumption reaction to ignition decreased,and the increased generation time of OH,HO_(2),and H_(2)O_(2) was directly responsible for the increased ignition delay.展开更多

文摘Macroalgae dominate nutrient dynamics and function as high-value foods for microbial,meio-and macrofaunal communities in coastal ecosystems.Because of this vital role,it is important to clarify the physiological information associated with environmental changes as it reflects their growth potential.To evaluate the effects of the changes in salinity and nutrients,the photosynthetic efficiency of a green macroalga Ulva fasciata from the Daya Bay was tested at a range of salinity(i.e.,31 to 10 psu)and nitrogen content(i.e.,5 to 60μmol L^(-1)).The results showed that cellular chlorophyll a(Chl a),carbohydrate and protein contents of U.fasciata were increased due to reduced salinity,and were decreased by interactive nitrogen enrichment.Within a short culture period(i.e.,18 h),the reduced salinity decreased the maximum photosynthetic efficiency(rETRmax and Pmax)derived from the rapid light response curve and photosynthetic oxygen evolution rate versus irradiance curve,respectively,as well as the saturation irradiance(E_(K)).This reducing effect diminished with enlonged cultivation time and reversed to a stimulating effect after 24 h of cultivation.The nitrogen enrichment stimulated the rETRmax and Pmax,as well as the E_(K),regardless of salinity,especially within short-term cultivation period(i.e.,<24 h).In addition,our results indicate that seawater freshening lowers the photosynthetic efficiency of U.fasciata in the short term,which is mitigated by nitrogen enrichment,but stimulates it in the long term,providing insight into how macroalgae thrive in coastal or estuarine waters where salinity and nutrients normally covary strongly.

文摘Carbon-based foams with a three-dimensional structure can serve as a lightweight template for the rational design and control-lable preparation of metal oxide/carbon-based composite microwave absorption materials.In this study,a flake-like nickel cobaltate/re-duced graphene oxide/melamine-derived carbon foam(FNC/RGO/MDCF)was successfully fabricated through a combination of solvo-thermal treatment and high-temperature pyrolysis.Results indicated that RGO was evenly distributed in the MDCF skeleton,providing ef-fective support for the load growth of FNC on its surface.Sample S3,the FNC/RGO/MDCF composite prepared by solvothermal method for 16 h,exhibited a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-66.44 dB at a thickness of 2.29 mm.When the thickness was reduced to 1.50 mm,the optimal effective absorption bandwidth was 3.84 GHz.Analysis of the absorption mechanism of FNC/RGO/MDCF revealed that its excellent absorption performance was primarily attributed to the combined effects of conduction loss,multiple reflection,scattering,in-terface polarization,and dipole polarization.

文摘The iron and steel industry,standing as a quintessential manufacture example with high consumption,pollution and emissions,faces significant environmental and sustainable development challenges.Electric arc furnace(EAF)steelmaking process mainly uses scrap as raw material and is characterized by environmentally friendly and recyclable process.However,the further development of EAF route in China is limited by the reserve,supply,availability and quality of scrap resource.Direct reduced iron(DRI)is one of typical low-carbon and clean charges,which can effectively make up for the adverse effects caused by the lack of scrap.The physical and chemical properties,classifications,and production technologies of DRI are firstly reviewed.In particular,the reducing gas types,reduction temperature,and reduction mechanism of the DRI production with gas-based shaft furnace(SF)technology are detailed.Considering the crucial role played by DRI application in EAF,the influences of DRI addition on EAF smelting rules and operations including the blending and charging process,heat transfer and melting in molten bath,slag formation operation,refractory corrosion,and slag system evolution are then further discussed.Finally,the comparative analysis and assessment of the consumption level of material and energy as well as the cleaner production both covering the clean chemical composition of molten steel and the clean environment impact in EAF steelmaking with DRI charged are conducted.From perspectives of metallurgical process engineering,a suitable route of hydrogen generation and application(from coke oven gas,methanol,and clean energy power),CO_(2) capture and utilization integrated with SF–EAF process is proposed.In view of the difficulties in large-scale DRI application in EAF,the follow-up work should focus on the investigation of DRI charging and melting,slag system evolution and molten pool reaction rules,as well as the developments of the DRI standardized use technology and intelligent batching and control models.

文摘In this manuscript,we propose an analytical equivalent linear viscoelastic constitutive model for fiber-reinforced composites,bypassing general computational homogenization.The method is based on the reduced-order homogenization(ROH)approach.The ROH method typically involves solving multiple finite element problems under periodic conditions to evaluate elastic strain and eigenstrain influence functions in an‘off-line’stage,which offers substantial cost savings compared to direct computational homogenization methods.Due to the unique structure of the fibrous unit cell,“off-line”stage calculation can be eliminated by influence functions obtained analytically.Introducing the standard solid model to the ROH method enables the creation of a comprehensive analytical homogeneous viscoelastic constitutive model.This method treats fibrous composite materials as homogeneous,anisotropic viscoelastic materials,significantly reducing computational time due to its analytical nature.This approach also enables precise determination of a homogenized anisotropic relaxation modulus and accurate capture of various viscoelastic responses under different loading conditions.Three sets of numerical examples,including unit cell tests,three-point beam bending tests,and torsion tests,are given to demonstrate the predictive performance of the homogenized viscoelastic model.Furthermore,the model is validated against experimental measurements,confirming its accuracy and reliability.

文摘Objective:In addition to dyspnea and edema,gastrointestinal discomfort is common among patients with heart failure(HF).Reduced cardiac output can lead to inadequate perfusion of the intestinal mucosa and subsequent impairment of the intestinal barrier.Levosimendan,a novel inotropic agent,binds to cardiac troponin C to enhance calcium sensitivity,activates ATP-dependent potassium channels in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells,exerts positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects,and reduces free radical generation,thereby improving systemic hemodynamics including intestinal circulation.However,clinical evidence regarding its protective effects on the intestinal barrier in HF patients remains limited,and the underlying mechanisms require further clarification.This study aims to investigate whether levosimendan confers protective effects on the intestinal barrier in HF patients and to explore its potential mechanisms.Methods:Network pharmacology was first used to analyze potential mechanisms of levosimendan in treating intestinal barrier dysfunction among HF patients.A total of 62 hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of HF with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)were enrolled based on echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction.According to clinical medication regimens,patients were assigned to a conventional treatment group(n=31)or a levosimendan treatment group(n=31).The conventional treatment group received standard anti-HF therapy,while the levosimendan treatment group received levosimendan in addition to standard therapy.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure plasma levels and changes in the intestinal-barrier proteins zonulin,intestinal fatty acid binding protein(I-FABP),proinflammatory cytokines[interleukin(IL)-17,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α],anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10,and N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP).Improvements in cardiac function and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire(KCCQ)and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS).Results:Network pharmacology indicated that the effects of levosimendan on intestinal barrier dysfunction in HF patients may involve inflammation-related pathways such as IL-17 and TNF.Clinically,after treatment,zonulin decreased by 32.94 ng/mL in the levosimendan treatment group versus 15.05 ng/mL in the conventional treatment group(P<0.05).I-FABP decreased by 6.97 pg/mL in the levosimendan treatment group but increased by 35.16 pg/mL in the conventional treatment group(P<0.05).IL-6,IL-17,and TNF-αdecreased by 1.11 pg/mL,1.21 pg/mL,and 2.83 pg/mL,respectively,in the levosimendan treatment group,whereas they increased by 7.68 pg/mL,0.67 pg/mL,and 2.38 pg/mL in the conventional treatment group(all P<0.05).IL-10 decreased by 24.48 pg/mL in the conventional treatment group but increased by 24.98 pg/mL in the levosimendan treatment group(P<0.05).NT-proBNP increased by 7.35 pg/mL in the conventional treatment group but decreased by 4.73 pg/mL in the levosimendan treatment group(P<0.05).KCCQ scores increased by 0.36 in the conventional treatment group and 1.86 in the levosimendan treatment group,GSRS scores decreased by 1.00 in the conventional treatment group and 2.40 in the levosimendan treatment group,respectively,but the differences were not statistically significant(both P>0.05).Conclusion:Levosimendan not only improves HF and gastrointestinal symptoms in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of HFrEF but also reduces plasma intestinal barrier factor levels.These effects may be associated with decreased plasma proinflammatory cytokines and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines after treatment,potentially involving IL-17 and TNF signaling pathways.
文摘This paper delves into the theoretical mechanisms of the electronic structure and optical properties of aluminum-based semiconductors(AlX,X=N,P,As,Sb)and indium-based semiconductors(InX,X=N,P,As,Sb)as potential materials for optical devices.Band structure calculations reveal that,except for InSb,all other compounds are direct bandgap semiconductors,with AlN exhibiting a bandgap of 3.245 eV.The valence band maximum of these eight compounds primarily stems from the p-orbitals of Al/In and X.In contrast,the conduction band minimum is influenced by all orbitals,with a predominant contribution from the p-orbitals.The static dielectric constant increased with the expansion of the unit cell volume.Compared to AlX and InX with larger X atoms,AlN and InN showed broader absorption spectra in the near-ultraviolet region and higher photoelectric conductance.Regarding mechanical properties,AlN and InN displayed greater shear and bulk modulus than the other compounds.Moreover,among these eight crystal types,a higher modulus was associated with a lower light loss function value,indicating that AlN and InN have superior transmission efficiency and a wider spectral range in optoelectronic material applications.

文摘The eutrophication of rivers and lakes is becoming increasingly common,primarily because of pollution from agricultural non-point sources.We investigated the effects of optimized water and fertilizer treatments on agricultural non-point source pollution in the Nansi Lake basin.The water heat carbon nitrogen simulator model(WHCNS model)was used to analyze water and nitrogen transport in wheat fields in Nansi Lake basin.Four water and fertilizer treatments were set up:conventional fertilization and irrigation(CK),reduced controlled-release fertilizer and conventional irrigation(F2W1),an equal amount of controlled-release fertilizer and reduced irrigation(F1W2),and reduced controlled-release fertilizer and reduced irrigation(F2W2).The results indicated that the replacement of conventional fertilizers with controlled-release fertilizers,combined with reduced irrigation,led to reduced nitrogen loss.Compared with those of the CK,the cumulative nitrogen leaching and ammonia volatilization of F2W1 were reduced by 8.90 and 41.67%,respectively;under F1W2,the same parameters were reduced by 12.50 and 15.99%,respectively.Compared with the other treatments,F2W2 significantly reduced nitrogen loss while producing a stable yield.Compared with those of the CK,ammonia volatilization and nitrogen loss due to leaching were reduced by 29.17 and 27.13%,respectively,water and nitrogen use efficiencies increased by 11.38 and 17.80%,respectively.F2W2 showed the best performance among the treatments,considering water and fertilizer management.Our findings highlight the effectiveness of optimizing water and fertilizer application in improving the water and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat,which is of great significance for mitigating nitrogen loss from farmland in the Nansi Lake basin.

文摘TiO_(2)is a well-known photocatalyst with a band gap of 3.2 eV,yet its ability to absorb light is limited to the short wavelengths of ultraviolet light.To achieve a more effective photocatalytic material,we have designed two-dimensional semiconductor TiOS materials using swarm intelligence algorithms combined with first-principles calculations.Three stable low-energy structures with space groups of P2_(1)/m,P3m1 and P2_(1)/c are identified.Among these structures,the Janus P3m1 phase is a direct bandgap semiconductor,while the P2_(1)/m and P2_(1)/c phases are indirect bandgap semiconductors.Utilizing the accurate hybrid density functional HSE06 method,the band gaps of the three structures are calculated to be 2.34 eV(P2_(1)/m),2.24 eV(P3m1)and 3.22 eV(P2_(1)/c).Optical calculations reveal that TiOS materials exhibit a good light-harvesting capability in both visible and ultraviolet spectral ranges.Moreover,the photocatalytic calculations also indicate that both P2_(1)/m and P3m1 TiOS can provide a strong driving force for converting H_(2)O to H_(2)and O_(2)in an acidic environment with pH=0.The structural stabilities,mechanical properties,electronic structures and hydrogen evolution reaction activities are also discussed in detail.Our research suggests that two-dimensional TiOS materials have potential applications in both semiconductor devices and photocatalysis.

文摘The structural,relative stability,and electronic properties of two-dimensional AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)were predicted and studied using the particle-swarm optimization method and first principles calculations.We proposed two low energy structures with P312 and P-31m phases,both of which the structures are hexagonal in shape and show non-centrosymmetry for the P312 phase and centrosymmetry for the P-31m phase.According to our results,two structural phases are found to be stable thermally and dynamically.The P312 phase of AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)are indirect semiconductors with band gaps of 2.44 eV(AsP2S6)and 2.18 eV(AsP2Se6)at the HSE06 level,and their absorption coefficients are predicted to reach the order of 10^(5)cm^(-1)from visible light to ultraviolet region,but the main absorption is manly in the ultraviolet region.The P-31m phase of AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)exhibits metal character with the Fermi surface mainly occupied by the p orbital of S/Se.Remarkably,estimated by first principles calculations,the P-31m AsP2S6 is found to be an intrinsic phonon-mediated superconductor with a relatively high critical superconducting temperature of about 13.4 K,and the P-31m AsP2Se6 only has a superconducting temperature of 1.4 K,which suggest that the P-31m AsP2S6 may be a good candidate for a nanoscale superconductor.

文摘As the global exploration and development of oil and gas resources advances into deep formations,the harsh conditions of high temperature and high salinity present significant challenges for drilling fluids.In order to address the technical difficulties associated with the failure of filtrate loss reducers under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions.In this study,a hydrophobic zwitterionic filtrate loss reducer(PDA)was synthesized based on N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAA),2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid(AMPS),diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride(DMDAAC),styrene(ST)and a specialty vinyl monomer(A1).When the concentration of PDA was 3%,the FLAPI of PDA-WBDF was 9.8 mL and the FLHTHP(180℃,3.5 MPa)was 37.8 mL after aging at 240℃for 16 h.In the saturated NaCl environment,the FLAPI of PDA-SWBDF was 4.0 mL and the FLHTHP(180℃,3.5 MPa)was 32.0 mL after aging at 220℃ for 16 h.Under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions,the combined effect of anti-polyelectrolyte and hydrophobic association allowed PDA to adsorb on the bentonite surface tightly.The sulfonic acid groups of PDA increased the negative electronegativity and the hydration film thickness on bentonite surface,which enhanced the colloidal stability,maintained the flattened lamellar structure of bentonite and formed an appropriate particle size distribution,resulting in the formation of dense mud cakes and reducing the filtration loss effectively.

文摘Biodiesel is a clean and renewable energy,and it is an effective measure to optimize engine combustion fueled with biodiesel to meet the increasingly strict toxic and CO_(2) emission regulations of internal combustion engines.A suitable-scale chemical kinetic mechanism is very crucial for the accurate and rapid prediction of engine combustion and emissions.However,most previous researchers developed the mechanism of blend fuels through the separate simplification and merging of the reduced mechanisms of diesel and biodiesel rather than considering their cross-reaction.In this study,a new reduced chemical reaction kinetics mechanism of diesel and biodiesel was constructed through the adoption of directed relationship graph (DRG),directed relationship graph with error propagation,and full-species sensitivity analysis (FSSA).N-heptane and methyl decanoate (MD) were selected as surrogates of traditional diesel and biodiesel,respectively.In this mechanism,the interactions between the intermediate products of both fuels were considered based on the cross-reaction theory.Reaction pathways were revealed,and the key species involved in the oxidation of n-heptane and MD were identified through sensitivity analyses.The reduced mechanism of n-heptane/MD consisting of 288 species and 800 reactions was developed and sufficiently verified by published experimental data.Prediction maps of ignition delay time were established at a wide range of parameter matrices (temperature from 600 to 1 700 K,pressure from 10 bar to 80 bar,equivalence ratio from 0.5 to 1.5) and different substitution ratios to identify the occurrence regions of the crossreaction.Concentration and sensitivity analyses were then conducted to further investigate the effects of cross-reactions.The results indicate temperature as the primary factor causing cross-reactivity.In addition,the reduced mechanism with cross-reactions was more accurate than that without cross-reactions.At 700–1 000 K,the cross-reactions inhibited the consumption of n-heptane/MD,which resulted in a prolonged ignition delay time.At this point,the elementary reaction,NC_(7)H_(16)+OH<=>C_(7)H_(15)-2+H_(2)O,played a dominant role in fuel consumption.Specifically,the contribution of the MD consumption reaction to ignition decreased,and the increased generation time of OH,HO_(2),and H_(2)O_(2) was directly responsible for the increased ignition delay.

文摘The relative permeability of oil and water is a key factor in assessing the production performance of a reservoir.This study analyzed the impact of injecting a viscosity reducer solution into low-viscosity crude oil to enhance fluid flow within a low-permeability reservoir.At 72°C,the oil-water dispersion solution achieved a viscosity reduction rate(f)of 92.42%,formulated with a viscosity reducer agent concentration(C_(VR))of 0.1%and an oil-water ratio of 5:5.The interfacial tension between the viscosity reducer solution and the crude oil remained stable at approximately 1.0 mN/m across different concentrations,with the minimum value of 4.07×10^(-1)mN/m recorded at a C_(VR)of 0.2%.As the CVR increased,the relative permeability curve of the oil phase gradually decreased while the oil-water two-phase region(Ro-wtp)expanded significantly.At a C_(VR)of 0.1%,the R_(o-wtp)peaked,making an increase of 7.93 percentage points compared to water flooding.In addition,the final displacement efficiency(E_(R),final)achieved with a 0.1%viscosity reducer solution reached 48.64%,exceeding water flooding by 15.46 percentage points,highlighting the effectiveness of the viscosity reducer solution in enhancing oil recovery.
