Immersion cooling is known for high efficiency and excellent temperature uniformity. To address the high energy consumption of secondary cooling loops in vehicles for cooling immersion oil, this paper proposes a method of immersion coupled cooling tubes. Battery heat is directly absorbed by the immersion liquid and rapidly dissipated via cooling water in the S-type cooling tube(SCT). This work investigated the effects of structural parameters, immersion fluid medium, and operating parameters on the cooling performance of the BTMS. The results showed that the fin height(h_(f)) has no significant effect on the cooling performance. Both Transformer Oil and HFE-7100 delivered outstanding thermal management, reaching a maximum of 36.73℃ and 41.39℃ while maintaining narrow temperature differences of only 3.70℃ and 2.09℃ apart, respectively. When the ambient temperature reached 40℃ and HFE-7100 was used as the immersion liquid, the maximum temperature difference remained consistently below 3℃. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the respective influential parameters. It was found that inlet water temperature(T_(in)) and immersion fluids exert the most significant influence on the system performance. Finally, different immersion cooling schemes were compared, which demonstrated the advantages of the system proposed in this study under harsh condition, thereby supporting the application of different schemes under various scenarios. It can be directly integrated with the vehicle-mounted cooling circuit system, thereby reducing energy consumption and weight, and offering new insights for research on thermal management systems for EVs.展开更多

文摘Invasive pests and pathogens cause immense damage globally,costing an estimated US$248 billion to the agricultural industry alone.Vehicles,such as farming and timber harvesting machinery and transportation trucks,can facilitate the rapid spread of biological invaders over distances far greater and more quickly than their natural dispersal ability.Understanding how frequent trips by these vehicles increase the spread of invasive agricultural and forestry pests can help inform effective biosecurity procedures before,during,or after an incursion.We used a case study of timber transport trucks in Aotearoa New Zealand to examine whether and how vehicles facilitate the spread of soil-borne pathogens between commercial forest plantations.Our results show that long-distance dispersal associated with truck movement facilitated the introduction of oomycete-like pathogens in 97% of forest sites within only one year,with pathogen loads within infected sites predicted at 84%of the sites’carrying capacity.Implementing preventative management strategies to reduce the transportation of infected soil by logging trucks,however,can reduce the spread by up to 50% after one year and reduce the pathogen load within infested sites by more than three times.Mitigating other human-assisted dispersal pathways can also help reduce spread.Reducing movement of forest visitors not involved in forestry activities,for instance,by closing forest sites to the public,can help to further reduce spread in addition to management related to harvesting activities.These results highlight the benefits of preventative management strategies in reducing the spread rate of novel soil pathogens through a high-intensity commercial forestry network but show that pest spread is still likely even with significant investment.

文摘This study addresses the challenges confronting the ideological and political construction of general artificial intelligence curriculum-namely,the dilution of value guidance amid pluralistic intellectual currents,the superficial internalization of concepts resulting from didactic pedagogy,and the ineffectiveness of character cultivation stemming from fragmented and decontextualized techno-ethical cases.This paper proposes centering the value proposition on“Serving the Nation through Science and Technology”.Leveraging the deeply integrated industry-academia-research-application synergy,we integrate ideological and political elements into the comprehensive technological practice workflow.To achieve this,we(1)incorporate authentic enterprise project practicums to foster students’sense of responsibility;(2)construct a virtual debate platform on technology ethics dilemmas to develop ethical discernment;and(3)organize solution competitions targeting urgent social problems to incubate technology-for-good initiatives.Collectively,these approaches enhance students’technological mission awareness,ethical sensitivity,and social responsibility.
文摘Maintaining the structural integrity of parallel natural gas pipelines during leakage-induced jet fires remains a critical engineering challenge.Existing methods often fail to account for the complex interactions among heat transfer,material behavior,and pipeline geometry,which can lead to overly simplified and potentially unsafe assessments.To address these limitations,this study develops a multiphysics approach that integrates small-orifice leakage theory with detailed thermo-fluid-structural simulations.The proposed framework contributes to a more accurate failure analysis through three main components:(1)coupled modeling that tracks transient heat flow and stress development as fire conditions evolve;(2)risk assessment incorporating spatial layout,material property changes with temperature,and operational limits;and(3)sensitivity analysis to identify key design factors that influence structural performance under high thermal loads.Simulation results demonstrate that thermal radiation from neighboring jet fires significantly accelerates material degradation,with inter-pipeline spacing emerging as a critical determinant of structural response.Notably,increasing the spacing between pipelines reduces thermal interaction and mechanical stress transfer.As a result,systems with optimized spacing exhibit markedly lower deformation than conventional configurations.These findings provide a foundation for re-evaluating pipeline layout strategies and strengthening safety protocols,particularly in high-risk environments where fire exposure can severely compromise structural reliability.The proposed approach offers actionable guidance for engineers and policymakers seeking to enhance the resilience of pipeline infrastructure under extreme thermal conditions.

文摘An effective lithium-ion battery thermal management system(BTMS) ensures the safety of electric vehicles(EVs) and energy storage systems. Immersion cooling is known for high efficiency and excellent temperature uniformity. To address the high energy consumption of secondary cooling loops in vehicles for cooling immersion oil, this paper proposes a method of immersion coupled cooling tubes. Battery heat is directly absorbed by the immersion liquid and rapidly dissipated via cooling water in the S-type cooling tube(SCT). This work investigated the effects of structural parameters, immersion fluid medium, and operating parameters on the cooling performance of the BTMS. The results showed that the fin height(h_(f)) has no significant effect on the cooling performance. Both Transformer Oil and HFE-7100 delivered outstanding thermal management, reaching a maximum of 36.73℃ and 41.39℃ while maintaining narrow temperature differences of only 3.70℃ and 2.09℃ apart, respectively. When the ambient temperature reached 40℃ and HFE-7100 was used as the immersion liquid, the maximum temperature difference remained consistently below 3℃. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the respective influential parameters. It was found that inlet water temperature(T_(in)) and immersion fluids exert the most significant influence on the system performance. Finally, different immersion cooling schemes were compared, which demonstrated the advantages of the system proposed in this study under harsh condition, thereby supporting the application of different schemes under various scenarios. It can be directly integrated with the vehicle-mounted cooling circuit system, thereby reducing energy consumption and weight, and offering new insights for research on thermal management systems for EVs.

文摘Ground penetrating radar(GPR)offers a rapid and non-destructive approach to evaluating asphalt mixtures by capturing variations in their dielectric constant.As a critical electromagnetic parameter,the dielectric constant demonstrates significant potential for assessing the material composition and mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures.However,the relationship between the dielectric constant and mechanical properties remains unclear.To investigate the factors affecting the dielectric constant and its correlation with the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures,a systematic analysis of the influencing parameters was conducted.Fitting equations were established to quantify the relationships between the dielectric constant and mechanical properties.Firstly,the effects of compaction state,testing frequency,and testing temperature on the dielectric constant were evaluated.Subsequently,forward simulations of GPR were executed on asphalt pavements with diverse air voids and detection frequencies.Finally,a fitting analysis was performed to determine the correlation between the dielectric constant and the dynamic modulus,compressive strength,and splitting tensile strength.The results indicated that the dielectric constant increased with the compaction state,decreased with increasing testing frequency until stabilized,and was insignificantly affected by changes in testing temperature.The change of air void in asphalt pavement has significantly affected the amplitude and timing of electromagnetic wave reflection.A linear positive correlation was identified between the dielectric constant and dynamic modulus as well as compressive strength,while a quadratic positive correlation existed with splitting tensile strength.This study provided theoretical and practical foundations for enhancing the reliability and accuracy of non-destructive testing in asphalt pavement.

文摘Aiming at the problem of insufficient recognition of implicit variants by existing Chinese sensitive text detection methods,this paper proposes the IPKE-MoE framework,which consists of three parts,namely,a sensitive word variant extraction framework,a sensitive word variant knowledge enhancement layer and a mixture-of-experts(MoE)classification layer.First,sensitive word variants are precisely extracted through dynamic iterative prompt templates and the context-aware capabilities of Large Language Models(LLMs).Next,the extracted variants are used to construct a knowledge enhancement layer for sensitive word variants based on RoCBert models.Specifically,after locating variants via n-gram algorithms,variant types are mapped to embedding vectors and fused with original word vectors.Finally,a mixture-of-experts(MoE)classification layer is designed(sensitive word,sentiment,and semantic experts),which decouples the relationship between sensitiveword existence and text toxicity throughmultiple experts.This framework effectively combines the comprehension ability of Large Language Models(LLMs)with the discriminative ability of smaller models.Our two experiments demonstrate that the sensitive word variant extraction framework based on dynamically iterated prompt templates outperforms other baseline prompt templates.TheRoCBert models incorporating the sensitive word variant knowledge enhancement layer and a mixture-of-experts(MoE)classification layer achieve superior classification performance compared to other baselines.

文摘The water hammer problem is an important issue in the dynamics of liquid propulsion system.This paper aims to use the Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM)with entropy limiter to study the water hammer problems in propellant feedlines.The dynamic characteristics of valve-closing water hammer and filling water hammer are investigated by this method,and the sensitivity of filling water hammer is analyzed with a single factor sensitivity analysis with 8 factors and 9 levels and a multi-factor sensitivity analysis with L_(27)(3^(13))orthogonal experiment based on range method.It is found that the solving result of LBM with entropy limiter is basically in good agreement with finite volume method,and using the entropy limiter can eliminate numerical oscillations when solving valve-closing water hammer problems and solve the numerical"blow up"when solving filling water hammer problems.It can be seen that the dynamic characteristics of valve-closing water hammer are relatively simple,while there are many factors that affect the filling water hammer and the degree of these effects varies.The effects on the maximum water hammer pressure are relatively uniform,but those on the water hammer response time vary greatly through the skewness analysis.

文摘Conductive elastomers combining micromechanical sensitivity,lightweight adaptability,and environmental sustainability are critically needed for advanced flexible electronics requiring precise responsiveness and long-term wearability;however,the integration of these properties remains a significant challenge.Here,we present a biomass-derived conductive elastomer featuring a rationally engineered dynamic crosslinked network integrated with a tunable microporous architecture.This structural design imparts pronounced micromechanical sensitivity,an ultralow density(~0.25 g cm^(−3)),and superior mechanical compliance for adaptive deformation.Moreover,the unique micro-spring effect derived from the porous architecture ensures exceptional stretchability(>500%elongation at break)and superior resilience,delivering immediate and stable electrical response under both subtle(<1%)and large(>200%)mechanical stimuli.Intrinsic dynamic interactions endow the elastomer with efficient room temperature self-healing and complete recyclability without compromising performance.First-principles simulations clarify the mechanisms behind micropore formation and the resulting functionality.Beyond its facile and mild fabrication process,this work establishes a scalable route toward high-performance,sustainable conductive elastomers tailored for next-generation soft electronics.
