It finds that the splitting behaviour is greatly influenced by the initial shape of precipitates, the bulk free energy condition, the degree of supersaturation and the ratio of the interfacial energy to the elastic strain energy, etc. The simulated results demonstrate that the aspect ratio of the particle determines whether the splitting can occur and how many split plates can be obtained. The splitting of particle is sensitive to the interracial energy, i.e. the splitting becomes more and more difficult with increasing the ratio of the interracial energy to the elastic strain energy. And increasing the magnitude of the applied stress is favourable to the splitting. The splitting process is also explained from the point of view of the corresponding diffusion potential.展开更多

It is significant to exactly solve the coupling hydraulic transient problems of this type of multiphase mixed flow in pipelines. Presently, the method of characteristics is widely used to solve classical hydraulic transient problems. However, when it is used to solve coupling hydraulic transient problems, excessive interpolation errors may be introduced into the results due to unavoidable multiwave interpolated calculations. To deal with the problem, a finite difference scheme based on the Steger- Warming flux vector splitting is proposed. A flux vector splitting scheme is established for the coupling hydraulic transient model of gas-liquid-solid three-phase mixed flow in the pipelines. The flux subvectors are then discretized by the Lax-Wendroff central difference scheme and the Warming-Beam upwind difference scheme with second-order precision in both time and space. Under the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions and the corresponding boundary conditions, an effective solution to those points located at the boundaries is developed, which can avoid the problem beyond the calculation region directly induced by the second-order discrete technique. Numerical and experimental verifications indicate that the proposed scheme has several desirable advantages including high calculation precision, excellent shock wave capture capability without false numerical oscillation, low sensitivity to the Courant number, and good stability.展开更多

Due to the diffraction, however,the acquired nano-resolution phase signal may suffer splitting problem, which impedes the direct reconstruction of phase contrast CT(nPCT) images. To overcome, a new model-driven nPCT image reconstruction algorithm is developed in this study. In it, the diffraction procedure is mathematically modeled into a matrix B, from which the projections without signal splitting can be generated invertedly. Furthermore, a penalized weighted least-square model with total variation(PWLSTV) is employed to denoise these projections, from which nPCT images with high accuracy are directly reconstructed.Numerical experiments demonstrate that this new algorithm is able to work with phase projections having any splitting distances. Moreover, results also reveal that nPCT images of higher signal-to-noise-ratio(SNR) could be reconstructed from projections having larger splitting distances. In summary, a novel model-driven nPCT image reconstruction algorithm with high accuracy and robustness is verified for the Lau interferometer-based hard x-ray nano-resolution phase contrast imaging.展开更多

The experimental distributor mainly consists of a straight through section,a gas extraction line,a liquid extraction line and a side arm branch. A gas orifice and a liquid orifice are mounted at the gas and liquid extraction line respectively to control the outlet gas quality. The diameter of the liquid orifice was set to 2. 50 mm and three gas orifices with different size( dG= 2. 65,5. 00,10. 00 mm) were tested. The experiments were carried out at an air-water two-phase flow loop. The gas superficial velocity ranged from 6. 0 to 20. 0 m /s and the liquid superficial velocity was in the range of 0. 02- 0. 18 m /s. Flow patterns such as wave flow,slug flow and annular flow were observed. The gas quality of the side arm branch was found mainly determined by the flow area ratio of the gas orifice to the liquid orifice and independent of gas and liquid superficial velocity,flow patterns and extraction flux.展开更多

Transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs), especially MoS2, as one of the 2DMs most often studied, have shown superior activity in electrochemical applications. Recently, combinations of different 2DMs have been widely studied, and they appear to be the most promising strategy available to develop state of the art catalysts for different reactions.In this article, we review the interactions between MoS2 and other materials as well as the novel assembly induced phase transitions of TMDs and their underlying mechanisms. Several methods for inducing the phase transition of TMDs by building MoS2-based heterostructures have been introduced. The electronic coupling between these counterparts has significantly enhanced their conductivity and optimized the energy states of the materials, thus introducing enhanced activity as compared to their original counterparts. The ideas summarized in this article may shed new light on and help to develop next-generation green energy materials by designing and constructing highly active two-dimensional catalysts for efficient water splitting.展开更多
