In addition, sulfur trioxide （SO3）, water with dissolved salts, and particles in the wet flue gas form secondary pollution in the surrounding atmosphere. In this study, a deep purification technology for flue gas involving phase-transition agglom- eration and dehumidification （PAD） is proposed. This deep purification technology includes two technical routes： the integrated technology of phase-transition agglomeration and a wet electrostatic precipitator （PAW）; and the integrated technology of phase-transition agglomeration and a mist eliminator （PAM）. Industrial applications of PAW and PAM were carried out on 630 and 1000 MW coal-fired units, respectively. The results show that the average amount of recycled water obtained from wet flue gas by means of PAD is more than 4 g.（kg.℃）-1 Decreasing the wet flue gas temperature by 1.5-5.3 ℃ allows 5%-20% of the moisture in the flue gas to be recycled; therefore, this process could effectively save water resources and significantly reduce water vapor emissions. In addition, the moist plume is effectively elim- inated. With the use of this process, the ion concentration in droplets of flue gas is decreased by more than 65%, the SO3 removal efficiency from flue gas is greater than 75%, and the removal efficiency of par- ticulate matter is 92.53%.展开更多

The solution of this dilemma is the use of sacrosanct simplest calculation rules for the loading parabola (now FN = kh3/2) giving straight lines for cones, pyramids and wedges. They provide the physical penetration resistance hardness k with dimension [Nm-3/2] and allow for non-iterative calculations with closed formulas, using simple undeniable calculation rules. The physically correct FN versus h3/2 plot is universally valid. It separates out the most common surface effects and reveals gradients. It provides unmatched precision, including reliability checks of experimental data. Regression analysis of FN versus h3/2 plots reveals eventual unsteadiness kink phase-transition onset with the transition-energy. This is shown for all kinds of solid materials, including salts, silicon, organics, polymers, composites, and superalloys. Exothermic and endothermic single and consecutive multiple phase-transitions with their surface dependence are distinguished and the results compared in 5 Tables. The sharp phase-transition onsets and the transition energies provide unprecedented most important materials’ characteristics that are indispensable for safety reasons. ISO ASTM is thus urged to thoroughly revise ISO 14577 and to work out new standards for the mechanically (also thermally) stressed materials. For example, the constancy of the first phase-transition parameters must be controlled, and materials must only be admitted for maximal forces well below the first phase-transition onset. Such onset loads can now be easily calculated. The nevertheless repeated oppositions against the physical analysis of indentations rest on incredibly poor knowledge of basic mathematics, errors that are uncovered. The safety aspects caused by the present unphysical materials’ parameters are discussed.展开更多

The energies of some configurations exhibit long duration before those configurations reach the final state -- ground state or frozen stripe state. For ground-state dynamical realization, the duration occurs when the energy per spin is 4/L, where L is the lattice size. For stripe-state dynamical realization, the energy is slightly higher than 2/L when the duration appears in the last evolution stage. In addition, it is found that the average energy per spin in final state is approximately 2/3L.展开更多

The critical point of capillary phase-transition was extrapolated by the critical power law and the law of rectilinear diameter from the capillary phase-transition data in the near critical region. The effects of temperature and fluid density on the parallel self-diffusion coefficients of ethylene molecules confined in the slit carbon pores were examined. The results showed that the parallel selfdiffusion coefficients in the capillary phase transition area strongly depended on the fluids local densities in the slit carbon pores.展开更多

The separation point of the unbroken and broken PT-symmetric phases is called the PT-phase-transition point.Conventionally, given an arbitrary non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian, one has to solve the corresponding Schrodinger equation explicitly in order to determine which phase it is actually in. Here, we propose to use artificial neural network(ANN) to determine the PT-phase-transition points for non-Hermitian PT-symmetric systems with short-range potentials. The numerical results given by ANN agree well with the literature, which shows the reliability of our new method.展开更多

The general use of aluminium as an indentation standard for the iteration of contact heights for the determination of ISO-14577 hardness and elastic modulus is challenged because of as yet not appreciated phase-change...The general use of aluminium as an indentation standard for the iteration of contact heights for the determination of ISO-14577 hardness and elastic modulus is challenged because of as yet not appreciated phase-changes in the physical force-depth standard curve that seemed to be secured by claims from 1992. The physical and mathematical analyses with closed formulas avoid the still world-wide standardized energy-law violation by not reserving 33.33% (h2 belief) (or 20% h3/2 physical law) of the loading force and thus energy for all not depth producing events but using 100% for the depth formation is a severe violation of the energy law. The not depth producing part of the indentation work cannot be done with zero energy! Both twinning and structural phase-transition onsets and normalized phase-transition energies are now calculated without iterations but with physically correct closed arithmetic equations. These are reported for Berkovich and cubecorner indentations, including their comparison on geometric grounds and an indentation standard without mechanical twinning is proposed. Characteristic data are reported. This is the first detection of the indentation twinning of aluminium at room temperature and the mechanical twinning of fused quartz is also new. Their disqualification as indentation standards is established. Also, the again found higher load phase-transitions disqualify aluminium and fused quartz as ISO-ASTM 14577 (International Standardization Organization and American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for the contact depth “hc” iterations. The incorrect and still world-wide used black-box values for H- and Er-values (the latter are still falsely called “Young’s moduli” even though they are not directional) and all mechanical properties that depend on them. They lack relation to bulk moduli from compression experiments. Experimentally obtained and so published force vs depth parabolas always follow the linear FN = kh3/2 + Fa equation, where Fa is the axis-cut before and after the phase-transition branches (never “h2” as falsely enforced and used for H, Er and giving incorrectly calculated parameters). The regression slopes k are the precise physical hardness values, which for the first time allow for precise calculation of the mechanical qualities by indentation in relation to the geometry of the indenter tip. Exactly 20% of the applied force and thus energy is not available for the indentation depth. Only these scientific k-values must be used for AI-advises at the expense of falsely iterated indentation hardness H-values. Any incorrect H-ISO-ASTM and also the iterated Er-ISO-ASTM modulus values of technical materials in artificial intelligence will be a disaster for the daily safety. The AI must be told that these are unscientific and must therefore be replaced by physical data. Iterated data (3 and 8 free parameters!) cannot be transformed into physical data. One has to start with real experimental loading curves and an absolute ZerodurR standard that must be calibrated with standard force and standard length to create absolute indentation results. .展开更多

On the basis of the Nagel-Schreckenberg （NS） model, it further considers the effect of headway-distance between two successive cars on the randomization of the latter one. In numerical simulations, this model shows the following characteristics. （1） With a simple structure, this model succeeds in reproducing the hysteresis effect, which is absent in the NS model. （2） Compared with the slow-tostart models, this model exhibits a local fundamental diagram which is more consistent to empirical observations. （3） This model has much higher efficiency in dissolving congestions compared with the so-called NS model with velocitydependent randomization （VDR model）. （4） This model is more robust when facing traffic obstructions. It can resist much longer shock times and has much shorter relaxation times on the other hand. To summarize, compared with the existing models, this model is quite simple in structure, but has good characteristics.展开更多

An obvious turning point is observed on the Arrhenius curves. Since viscosity is one of the physical properties sensitive to structure, its discontinuous change with temperature reveals the possible liquidliquid structure transition in the metallic melts. Furthermore, an integrated liquid structure transition diagram of the Sn-Bi system is presented. The universality of liquid-liquid structure transition is also discussed simply.展开更多

The first one considers the mobilities of the individuals, the second one supposes that the individuals update their opinions independently. The results of the model indicate that the bounded confidence εc, separating consensus and incoherent states, of a scale-free network is much smaller than the one of a lattice. If the system can reach the consensus state, the sum of all individuals＇ opinion change Oc（t） quickly decreases in an exponential form, while if it reaches the incoherent state finally, Oc（t） decreases slowly and has the punctuated equilibrium characteristic.展开更多

Several abnormal resistivity changes can be found at room temperature when the pressure increases from ambient to 33 GPa. The abnormal resistivity changes at about 3.8 GPa and 10 GPa are caused by the structural phase transitions to the rock-salt phase and to the Cmcm phase, respectively. The other abnormal resistivity changes at about 6.5 GPa, 15.5 GPa, 22.2 GPa and about 30 GPa never observed before are due to the electronic phase transitions of CdTe. The origin of the abnormal change occurred at about 6.5 GPa is discussed. The temperature dependence of the resistivity of CdTe shows its semiconducting behaviour at least before 11.3 GPa.展开更多

These models can reproduce some realistic phenomena which are absent in the original NS model. But in these models, the size of cluster is still not considered as a useful parameter. In real traffic, the slow-to-start motion of a standing vehicle often depends on the degree of congestion which can be measured by the clusters＇ size. According to this idea, we propose a cluster-size dependent slow-to-start model based on the speed- dependent slow-to-start rule （VDR） model. It gives expected results through simulations. Comparing with the VDR model, our new model has a better traffic efficiency and shows richer complex characters.展开更多

The effects of temperature and fluid density on the parallel self-diffusion coefficients of ethylene molecules confined in the slit carbon pores were examined. The results showed that the parallel selfdiffusion coefficients in the capillary phase transition area strongly depended on the fluids local densities in the slit carbon pores.

文摘The non-Hermitian PT-symmetric system can live in either unbroken or broken PT-symmetric phase. The separation point of the unbroken and broken PT-symmetric phases is called the PT-phase-transition point.Conventionally, given an arbitrary non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian, one has to solve the corresponding Schrodinger equation explicitly in order to determine which phase it is actually in. Here, we propose to use artificial neural network(ANN) to determine the PT-phase-transition points for non-Hermitian PT-symmetric systems with short-range potentials. The numerical results given by ANN agree well with the literature, which shows the reliability of our new method.
文摘At zero temperature, based on the Ising model, the phase transition in a two-dimensional square lattice is studied using the generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics. Using Monte Carlo （MC） renormalization group methods, the static critical exponents and the dynamic exponent are studied; the type of phase transition is found to be of the first order.
文摘The general use of aluminium as an indentation standard for the iteration of contact heights for the determination of ISO-14577 hardness and elastic modulus is challenged because of as yet not appreciated phase-changes in the physical force-depth standard curve that seemed to be secured by claims from 1992. The physical and mathematical analyses with closed formulas avoid the still world-wide standardized energy-law violation by not reserving 33.33% (h2 belief) (or 20% h3/2 physical law) of the loading force and thus energy for all not depth producing events but using 100% for the depth formation is a severe violation of the energy law. The not depth producing part of the indentation work cannot be done with zero energy! Both twinning and structural phase-transition onsets and normalized phase-transition energies are now calculated without iterations but with physically correct closed arithmetic equations. These are reported for Berkovich and cubecorner indentations, including their comparison on geometric grounds and an indentation standard without mechanical twinning is proposed. Characteristic data are reported. This is the first detection of the indentation twinning of aluminium at room temperature and the mechanical twinning of fused quartz is also new. Their disqualification as indentation standards is established. Also, the again found higher load phase-transitions disqualify aluminium and fused quartz as ISO-ASTM 14577 (International Standardization Organization and American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for the contact depth “hc” iterations. The incorrect and still world-wide used black-box values for H- and Er-values (the latter are still falsely called “Young’s moduli” even though they are not directional) and all mechanical properties that depend on them. They lack relation to bulk moduli from compression experiments. Experimentally obtained and so published force vs depth parabolas always follow the linear FN = kh3/2 + Fa equation, where Fa is the axis-cut before and after the phase-transition branches (never “h2” as falsely enforced and used for H, Er and giving incorrectly calculated parameters). The regression slopes k are the precise physical hardness values, which for the first time allow for precise calculation of the mechanical qualities by indentation in relation to the geometry of the indenter tip. Exactly 20% of the applied force and thus energy is not available for the indentation depth. Only these scientific k-values must be used for AI-advises at the expense of falsely iterated indentation hardness H-values. Any incorrect H-ISO-ASTM and also the iterated Er-ISO-ASTM modulus values of technical materials in artificial intelligence will be a disaster for the daily safety. The AI must be told that these are unscientific and must therefore be replaced by physical data. Iterated data (3 and 8 free parameters!) cannot be transformed into physical data. One has to start with real experimental loading curves and an absolute ZerodurR standard that must be calibrated with standard force and standard length to create absolute indentation results. .

文摘Electrochemistry with antifouling sensing interfaces that effectively resist the adsorption of nonspecific biomolecules provides a powerful mean for the accurate and sensitive detection of disease biomarkers tive dete in complex biofluids.However.there are few strategies to acquire a stable and solid antifouling coat-ing on any substrate by a simple way.Herein,a simple one-step assembly methød has been adopted to construct phase-transited bovine serum albumin(PTB)antifouling Layers.Prior to construction of the an-tifouling layers.the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)doped with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide(ionic liquid,IL)were firstly electrodeposited on bare electrodes,en-dowing good conductiviry and catalytic capability for the developed sensor.Subsequently.with the assist of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine(TCEP)the disulfide bonds of bovine serum albumin(BSA)were re-Im alb duced to form PTB,which can be coated on the PEDOT-It modified electrode to construct an antifouling electrochemical senor(PTB/PEDOT-ILCCE)for the detection of uric acid(UA)in human serum.The UA sensor demonstrated a good linear range from 1.11 umol/L to 798.9 umol/L with a high sensltivity of0,556 jA umolL^(-1)cm^(-2).The combination of conducting polymers with one-step assembly of PTB offers a universal and rellable method før the modification of various electrodes to determine target molecules in complex human body fluids.

文摘Disordered ferromagnets with a domain structure that exhibit a hysteresis loop when driven by the external magnetic field are essential materials for modern technological applications.Therefore,the understanding and potential for controlling the hysteresis phenomenon in thesematerials,especially concerning the disorder-induced critical behavior on the hysteresis loop,have attracted significant experimental,theoretical,and numerical research efforts.We review the challenges of the numerical modeling of physical phenomena behind the hysteresis loop critical behavior in disordered ferromagnetic systems related to the non-equilibriumstochastic dynamics of domain walls driven by external fields.Specifically,using the extended Random Field Ising Model,we present different simulation approaches and advanced numerical techniques that adequately describe the hysteresis loop shapes and the collective nature of the magnetization fluctuations associated with the criticality of the hysteresis loop for different sample shapes and varied parameters of disorder and rate of change of the external field,as well as the influence of thermal fluctuations and demagnetizing fields.The studied examples demonstrate how these numerical approaches reveal newphysical insights,providing quantitativemeasures of pertinent variables extracted from the systems’simulated or experimentally measured Barkhausen noise signals.The described computational techniques using inherent scale-invariance can be applied to the analysis of various complex systems,both quantum and classical,exhibiting non-equilibrium dynamical critical point or self-organized criticality.

文摘This paper presents a cellular automaton model for single-lane traffic flow. On the basis of the Nagel-Schreckenberg （NS） model, it further considers the effect of headway-distance between two successive cars on the randomization of the latter one. In numerical simulations, this model shows the following characteristics. （1） With a simple structure, this model succeeds in reproducing the hysteresis effect, which is absent in the NS model. （2） Compared with the slow-tostart models, this model exhibits a local fundamental diagram which is more consistent to empirical observations. （3） This model has much higher efficiency in dissolving congestions compared with the so-called NS model with velocitydependent randomization （VDR model）. （4） This model is more robust when facing traffic obstructions. It can resist much longer shock times and has much shorter relaxation times on the other hand. To summarize, compared with the existing models, this model is quite simple in structure, but has good characteristics.

文摘Temperature dependence of viscosity for more than ten kinds of metallic melts is analysed based on viscosity measurements. An obvious turning point is observed on the Arrhenius curves. Since viscosity is one of the physical properties sensitive to structure, its discontinuous change with temperature reveals the possible liquidliquid structure transition in the metallic melts. Furthermore, an integrated liquid structure transition diagram of the Sn-Bi system is presented. The universality of liquid-liquid structure transition is also discussed simply.

文摘A continuum opinion dynamic model is presented based on two rules. The first one considers the mobilities of the individuals, the second one supposes that the individuals update their opinions independently. The results of the model indicate that the bounded confidence εc, separating consensus and incoherent states, of a scale-free network is much smaller than the one of a lattice. If the system can reach the consensus state, the sum of all individuals＇ opinion change Oc（t） quickly decreases in an exponential form, while if it reaches the incoherent state finally, Oc（t） decreases slowly and has the punctuated equilibrium characteristic.

文摘In situ resistivity measurement has been performed to investigate the electron transport property of powered CdTe under high pressure and moderate temperature in a designed diamond anvil cell. Several abnormal resistivity changes can be found at room temperature when the pressure increases from ambient to 33 GPa. The abnormal resistivity changes at about 3.8 GPa and 10 GPa are caused by the structural phase transitions to the rock-salt phase and to the Cmcm phase, respectively. The other abnormal resistivity changes at about 6.5 GPa, 15.5 GPa, 22.2 GPa and about 30 GPa never observed before are due to the electronic phase transitions of CdTe. The origin of the abnormal change occurred at about 6.5 GPa is discussed. The temperature dependence of the resistivity of CdTe shows its semiconducting behaviour at least before 11.3 GPa.

文摘In order to exhibit the meta-stable states, several slow-to-start rules have been investigated as modification to Nagel-Schreckenberg （NS） model. These models can reproduce some realistic phenomena which are absent in the original NS model. But in these models, the size of cluster is still not considered as a useful parameter. In real traffic, the slow-to-start motion of a standing vehicle often depends on the degree of congestion which can be measured by the clusters＇ size. According to this idea, we propose a cluster-size dependent slow-to-start model based on the speed- dependent slow-to-start rule （VDR） model. It gives expected results through simulations. Comparing with the VDR model, our new model has a better traffic efficiency and shows richer complex characters.

文摘The non-ionizing and penetrative characteristics of terahertz(THz)radiation have recently led to its adoption across a variety of applications.To effectively utilize THz radiation,modulators with precise control are imperative.While most recent THz modulators manipulate the amplitude,frequency,or phase of incident THz radiation,considerably less progress has been made toward THz polarization modulation.Conventional methods for polarization control suffer from high driving voltages,restricted modulation depth,and narrow band capabilities,which hinder device performance and broader applications.Consequently,an ideal THz modulator that offers high modulation depth along with ease of processing and operation is required.In this paper,we propose and realize a THz metamaterial comprised of microelectromechanical systems(MEMS)actuated by the phase-transition material vanadium dioxide(VO_(2)).Simulation and experimental results of the three-dimensional metamaterials show that by leveraging the unique phase-transition attributes of VO_(2),our THz polarization modulator offers notable advancements over existing designs,including broad operation spectrum,high modulation depth,ease of fabrication,ease of operation condition,and continuous modulation capabilities.These enhanced features make the system a viable candidate for a range of THz applications,including telecommunications,imaging,and radar systems.
