Generally, each silk-making dust-removing and package dust-removing outlet has a corresponding air suction port to absorb the dust and then centrally treat it. In the past, due to large-scale centralized production, the correlation between equipment was relatively high, and there was basically no no-load situation. In recent years, due to flexible production and group processing technology, even if a production line is used, there is an uneven production load, and no-load energy consumption. The situation is more prominent. Using hardware equipment such as solenoid valves, cylinders, and wind speed sensors, combined with PLC communication and control technology, energy-saving transformation of the dust removal system is simple, low cost, and effective, and can solve the problem of no-load energy consumption of the dust removal system.展开更多

Common protective methods such as painting or coating with rubber or other protective materials, etc. cannot provide full protection when used as supplementary protection because these traditional methods require strict pretreatment and sealing of the metallic surface from the corrosive mediums.and time for the protective coatings to solidify.

It is based on the enhanced evaporation by using solar, wind and air temperature energy and additional heat-electric energy. It consists of four parts: (1) evaporation carrier system (evaporation carrier and frame for evaporation carrier) for polluted water; (2)polluted water circulating system (pumping-spraying-collecting); (3)heating system; (4)workshop with polluted water reservoir-tanks and rainfall prevention roof. The polluted water was (heated in case necessary) sprayed to the evaporation carrier system and the water was evaporated when it moved in the space and downward along the carrier mainly by using natural (solar, wind and air temperature energy). In case, when there is no roof for the carrier system, the polluted water can be stored in the reservoirs (storage volume for about 20 days). The first 10-25 mm rainfall also need to be stored in the reservoirs to meet the state standard or discharging wastewater. The dye may be collected at the surface in the reservoir-tanks and the crystallized salt may be collected at the bottom plate. The black-color wastewater released by the factory is no more discharged to the surface water system of Taihu Lake Basin. About 2 kg dye and 200 kg industrial salt may be collected from each tone of the polluted water. The non-pollution production of dye may be realized by using this technology with environmental, economical and social benefits.展开更多

For laser additive manufacturing, aluminum-based materials are regarded as difficult-to-fabricate materials be- cause of their special physical properties, including low density, low laser absorption, high thermal conductivity, and ease of oxidation. Currently, LPBF-formed structural materials require high densification, fine grains, high specific strength, high ductility, and optimized physical or chemical properties. Therefore, comprehensive un- derstanding of the fabrication and performance of Al-based materials processed by LPBF is of significant value. This paper covers emerging research on aluminum-based materials using LPBF, providing an overall view of the basic scientific mechanisms behind manufacturing. The state-of-the-art researches of aluminum-based materials for LPBF formability as well as the microstructures, properties and corresponding metallurgical mechanisms are reviewed. The mechanisms of some of the main defects (pores, cracks, balling, and oxide inclusions) and control measures are also discussed. A summary and outlook for the further development of Al-based materials for LPBF are addressed.展开更多

文摘In modern engineering,enhancing boiling heat transfer efficiency is crucial for optimizing energy use and several industrial processes involving different types of materials.This study explores the enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer potentially induced by combining perforated copper particles on a heated surface with a sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)surfactant in saturated deionized water.Experiments were conducted at standard atmospheric pressure,with heat flux ranging from 20 to 100 kW/m2.The heating surface,positioned below the layer of freely moving copper beads,allowed the particle layer to shift due to liquid convection and steam nucleation.The study reports on the influence of copper bead diameter(2,3,4,and 5 mm),particle quantity,arrangement,and SDS concentration(20,200,and 500 ppm).It is shown that the combination of 5 mm particles and a 500 ppm SDS concentration can yield a remarkable 139%improvement in heat transfer efficiency.As demonstrated by direct flow visualization,bubble formation occurs primarily in the gaps between the particles and the heated surface,with the presence of SDS reducing bubble size and accelerating bubble detachment.

文摘Solar-induced water oxidation reaction(WOR)for oxygen evolution is a critical step in the transformation of Earth's atmosphere from a reducing to an oxidation one during its primordial stages.WOR is also associated with important reduction reactions,such as oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),which leads to the production of hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)).These transitions are instrumental in the emergence and evolution of life.In this study,transition metals were loaded onto nitrogen-doped carbon(NDC)prepared under the primitive Earth's atmospheric conditions.These metal-loaded NDC samples were found to catalyze both WOR and ORR under light illumination.The chemical pathways initiated by the pristine and metal-loaded NDC were investigated.This study provides valuable insights into potential mechanisms relevant to the early evolution of our planet.

文摘In this study,laser-assisted plasma electrolytic oxidation(Laser/PEO)coating was prepared on AZ31B magnesium alloy for corrosion protection,due to insufficient corrosion protection caused by the inherent defects,cracks and poor quality of PEO coatings.The plasma discharge evolution,morphological characteristics,elemental composition during coating growth were characterized by high-speed camera,SEM,EDX,XRD and XPS,respectively.Meanwhile,Mott Schottky(M-S)curves,potentiodynamic polarization(PDP)curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)tests characterized the oxygen vacancy defects and corrosion resistance of the coatings.The results demonstrated that laser-assisted irradiation not only induced plasma discharge on the anode surface,but also limited the plasma discharge size in the post-processing stage,which significantly increased the proportion of corrosion-resistant phase Mg_(2)SiO_(4)(the proportion of Mg_(2)SiO_(4)increased from 23.70%to 39.22%),thickness and density in the coating,and obviously reduced the oxygen vacancy defects and microcracks in the coating.As a result,the corrosion resistance of the Laser/PEO coating(9.29(±0.76)×10^(-7)A·cm^(-2))was further enhanced in comparation with the PEO coating(3.06(±0.19)×10^(-6) A·cm^(-2)).

文摘Aqueous batteries,renowned for their cost-effectiveness and non-flammability,have attracted considerable attention in the realm of batteries featuring Zn-based and Sn-based configurations.These configurations employ Zn and Sn metal anodes,respectively.While the growth patterns of Zn under various current densities have been extensively studied,there has been a scarcity of research on Sn dendrite growth.Our operando imaging analysis reveals that,unlike Zn,Sn forms sharp dendrites at high current density emphasizing the crucial necessity for implementing strategies to suppress the dendrites formation.To address this issue,we introduced a carbon nanotube(CNT)layer on copper foil,effectively preventing the formation of Sn dendrites under high current density,thus enabling the high-current operation of Sn metal batteries.We believe that our work highlights the importance of suppressing dendrite formation in aqueous Sn metal batteries operating at high current density and introduces a fresh perspective on mitigating Sn dendrite formation.

文摘The corrosion behavior and microstructure characteristics of metal inert gas(MIG)welded dissimilar joints of the 6005A alloy modified with Sc(designated as 6005A+Sc)and the 5083 alloy were investigated using corrosion tests and microscopy techniques.Results show that the dissimilar joints exhibit strong stress corrosion cracking(SCC)resistance,maintaining substantial strength during slow strain rate tensile tests.Notably,the heat-affected zone(HAZ)and base metal(BM)on the 6005A+Sc side show superior performance in terms of inter-granular corrosion(IGC)and exfoliation corrosion(EXCO)compared to the corresponding zones on the 5083 side.The lower corrosion resistance of the 5083-BM and the 5083-HAZ can be attributed to the presence of numerous Al_(2)Mg_(3)phases and micro-scaled Al_(6)(Mn,Fe)intermetallics,mainly distributed along the rolling direction.Conversely,the enhanced corrosion resistance of the 6005A+Sc-BM and the 6005A+Sc-HAZ can be attributed to the discontinuously distributed grain boundary precipitates(β-Mg_(2)Si),the smaller grain size,and the reduced corrosive current density.

文摘Heat and mass transfer within an electric arc furnace are strongly influenced by extreme temperatures and complex electromagnetic fields.Variations in temperature distribution play a crucial role in determining melt flow patterns and in the formation of stagnant regions,commonly referred to as dead zones.To better understand the internal flow dynamics and thermal behavior of the furnace,this study develops a multiphysics coupled model that integrates fluid heat transfer with Maxwell’s electromagnetic field equations.Numerical simulations are conducted to systematically examine how key operational parameters,such as electric current and arc characteristics,affect the heat transfer performance inside the furnace.The analysis reveals that arc length is the dominant factor governing both current density and heat distribution in the molten bath.Specifically,increasing the arc length from 200 mm to 400 mm results in a 16.1%rise in maximum current density within the titanium slag layer,from 7128 A/m^(2) to 8270 A/m^(2).However,a longer arc also introduces higher interfacial thermal resistance,which impedes heat transfer efficiency and leads to a significant drop in the peak temperature of the titanium slag,from 2618 K to 2125 K.These findings underscore the dual impact of arc length on both electrical and thermal behavior,highlighting the need for careful optimization.

文摘The complex sand-casting process combined with the interactions between process parameters makes it difficult to control the casting quality,resulting in a high scrap rate.A strategy based on a data-driven model was proposed to reduce casting defects and improve production efficiency,which includes the random forest(RF)classification model,the feature importance analysis,and the process parameters optimization with Monte Carlo simulation.The collected data includes four types of defects and corresponding process parameters were used to construct the RF model.Classification results show a recall rate above 90% for all categories.The Gini Index was used to assess the importance of the process parameters in the formation of various defects in the RF model.Finally,the classification model was applied to different production conditions for quality prediction.In the case of process parameters optimization for gas porosity defects,this model serves as an experimental process in the Monte Carlo method to estimate a better temperature distribution.The prediction model,when applied to the factory,greatly improved the efficiency of defect detection.Results show that the scrap rate decreased from 10.16% to 6.68%.

文摘The anode effect is a common failure in the aluminium electrolysis industry.If the anode effect cannot be accurately predicted,it will cause increased energy consumption,harmful gas generation and even equipment damage in the aluminium electrolysis.In this paper,an anode effect prediction framework using multi-model merging based on deep learning technology is proposed.Different models are used to process aluminium electrolysis cell condition parameters with high dimensions and different characteristics,and hidden key fault information is deeply mined.A stacked denoising autoencoder is utilized to denoise and extract features from a large number of longperiod parameter data.A long short-term memory network is implemented to identify the intrinsic links between the realtime voltage and current time series and the anode effect.By setting the model time step,the anode effect can be predicted precisely in advance,and the proposed method has good robustness and generalization.Moreover,the traditional Adam algorithm is improved,which enhances the performance and convergence speed of the model.The experimental results show that the classification accuracy and F1score of the model are 97.14% and 0.9579%,respectively.The prediction time can reach 15 min.

文摘Few‐shot image classification is the task of classifying novel classes using extremely limited labelled samples.To perform classification using the limited samples,one solution is to learn the feature alignment(FA)information between the labelled and unlabelled sample features.Most FA methods use the feature mean as the class prototype and calculate the correlation between prototype and unlabelled features to learn an alignment strategy.However,mean prototypes tend to degenerate informative features because spatial features at the same position may not be equally important for the final classification,leading to inaccurate correlation calculations.Therefore,the authors propose an effective intraclass FA strategy that aggregates semantically similar spatial features from an adaptive reference prototype in low‐dimensional feature space to obtain an informative prototype feature map for precise correlation computation.Moreover,a dual correlation module to learn the hard and soft correlations was developed by the authors.This module combines the correlation information between the prototype and unlabelled features in both the original and learnable feature spaces,aiming to produce a comprehensive cross‐correlation between the prototypes and unlabelled features.Using both FA and cross‐attention modules,our model can maintain informative class features and capture important shared features for classification.Experimental results on three few‐shot classification benchmarks show that the proposed method outperformed related methods and resulted in a 3%performance boost in the 1‐shot setting by inserting the proposed module into the related methods.

文摘Metamaterials are defined as artificially designed micro-architectures with unusual physical properties,including optical,electromagnetic,mechanical,and thermal characteristics.This study investigates the compressive mechanical and heat transfer properties of AlSi10Mg gradient metamaterials fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(LPBF).The morphology of the AlSi10Mg metamaterials was examined using an ultrahigh-resolution microscope.Quasi-static uniaxial compression tests were conducted at room temperature,with deformation behavior captured through camera recordings.The findings indicate that the proposed gradient metamaterial exhibits superior compressive strength properties and energy absorption capacity.The Gradient-SplitP structure demonstrated better compressive performance compared to other strut-based structures,including Gradient-Gyroid and Gradient-Lidinoid structures.With an apparent density of 0.796,the Gradient-SplitP structure exhibited an outstanding energy absorption capacity,reaching an impressive 23.57 MJ/m^(3).In addition,heat conductivity tests were performed to assess the thermal resistance of these structures with different cell configurations.The gradient metamaterials exhibited higher thermal resistance and lower thermal conductivity.Consequently,the designed gradient metamaterials can be considered valuable in various applications,such as thermal management,load-bearing,and energy absorption components.
文摘OBJECTIVE:To determine the therapeutic effects of the Zhuangyao Jianshen pill(壮腰健肾丸,ZYJSP)against benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and investigate the underlying mechanism.METHODS:Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups:Control group,BPH model group,finasteride-treated group,ZYJSP low,medium and high dose groups.Except for the control group,40 rats were castrated and injected with testosterone propionate(TP)for 28 consecutive day to induce BPH.Meanwhile,the corresponding drugs were administered by gavage.The prostate wet weight,prostate index(PI),and the histopathological changes in the prostate were measured as the basis for examining the efficacy of ZYJSP against BPH.Levels of the serum sex hormones,oxidative stress markers,inflammatory markers,renal function markers,growth factors,and Cyclin D1 expression in prostate were measured to characterize the therapeutic mechanism of ZYJSP against BPH.RESULTS:ZYJSP administration significantly reduced prostate wet weight and PI and ameliorated histological changes of the prostate in TP-treated castrated rats.TP markedly increased the levels of creatinine,blood urea nitrogen and growth factors in the serum as well as the expression of the Cyclin D1 in the prostate.Most of these markers were significantly decreased by ZYJSP.ZYJSP significantly restored the dysregulation of testosterone,estradiol,and dihydrotestosterone caused by TP.Furthermore,ZYJSP relieved TP-induced prostate injury and exhibited both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity by decreasing interleukin-6,interleukin-8,and malondialdehyde levels and increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase in the serum.CONCLUSION:These findings indicate that ZYJSP can effectively ameliorate BPH induced by TP in castrated rats,and the underlying mechanism might be related to regulating sex hormone balance,reducing oxidative stress,and inhibiting the inflammatory response.

文摘Significant contributions have been made to understanding the processing of various metal materials using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) for the design and fabrication of high-performance metal components in many fields. For laser additive manufacturing, aluminum-based materials are regarded as difficult-to-fabricate materials be- cause of their special physical properties, including low density, low laser absorption, high thermal conductivity, and ease of oxidation. Currently, LPBF-formed structural materials require high densification, fine grains, high specific strength, high ductility, and optimized physical or chemical properties. Therefore, comprehensive un- derstanding of the fabrication and performance of Al-based materials processed by LPBF is of significant value. This paper covers emerging research on aluminum-based materials using LPBF, providing an overall view of the basic scientific mechanisms behind manufacturing. The state-of-the-art researches of aluminum-based materials for LPBF formability as well as the microstructures, properties and corresponding metallurgical mechanisms are reviewed. The mechanisms of some of the main defects (pores, cracks, balling, and oxide inclusions) and control measures are also discussed. A summary and outlook for the further development of Al-based materials for LPBF are addressed.
