Introduction Research on the ground effect of rotor can be traced back to the 1930s1.However, few studies have been conducted on the aerodynamic characteristics of rotors and ducted fans when hovering near a water surface for an extended period.With the emergence of cross-media rotorcraft, rotor wakes interact violently with the water surface to generate large-scale,air–water droplet mixed flows (hereafter referred to as mixed air–water flows). Rotors operating in mixed air–water flows always have aerodynamic performances that are different from those owing to the In-Ground Effect (IGE) and Out-of Ground Effect (OGE). Accordingly, this effect is called the Near-Water Effect (NWE) of the rotor2,and it usually causes thrust loss and torque increase.展开更多

As an in-situ and non-intrusive optical diagnostic technique, Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) has been increasingly applied for soot concentration quantification in various combustion environments such as laminar flame, vehicle exhaust, internal combustion chamber as well as aero-engine combustor. In this work, we experimentally measured the spatial and temporal distribution of SVF using two-color LII technique at the outlet of a single-sector dual-swirl aero-engine model combustor. The effect of inlet pressure and air preheat temperature on the SVF distribution was separately investigated within a pressure range of 241–425 kPa and a temperature range of 292–500 K. The results show that soot production increases with the inlet pressure but generally decreases with the air preheat temperature. Qualitative analysis was provided to explain the above results of parametric studies. The LII experiments were also conducted under 3 designed conditions to evaluate soot emission under practical operations. Particularly, weak soot emission was detected at the outlet under the idle condition. Our experimental results provide a valuable benchmark for evaluating soot emission in the exhaust plume of this aero-engine combustor during practical operations.展开更多

文摘In recent years,research focusing on synaptic device based on phototransistors has provided a new method for asso-ciative learning and neuromorphic computing.A TiO_(2)/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure-based synaptic phototransistor is fabricated and measured,integrating a TiO_(2)nanolayer gate and a two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG)channel to mimic the synaptic weight and the synaptic cleft,respectively.The maximum drain to source current is 10 nA,while the device is driven at a reverse bias not exceeding-2.5 V.A excitatory postsynaptic current(EPSC)of 200 nA can be triggered by a 365 nm UVA light spike with the duration of 1 s at light intensity of 1.35μW·cm^(-2).Multiple synaptic neuromorphic functions,including EPSC,short-term/long-term plasticity(STP/LTP)and paried-pulse facilitation(PPF),are effectively mimicked by our GaN-based het-erostructure synaptic device.In the typical Pavlov’s dog experiment,we demonstrate that the device can achieve"retraining"process to extend memory time through enhancing the intensity of synaptic weight,which is similar to the working mecha-nism of human brain.

文摘A high-temperature and high-pressure valve is the key equipment of a wind tunnel system;it controls the generation of high-temperature and high-pressure gas.To reduce the adverse impact of high-temperature and high-pressure gas on the strength of the valve body,a cooling structure is set on the valve seat.This can significantly reduce the temperature of the valve body and valve seat.The effects of its structure on the cooling characteristics and stress of the valve seat are studied,and six main parameters that can completely describe the geometry of the cooling structure are proposed.The central composite design method is used to select sample points,and the multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA)method is used for optimal structural design.A modification method according to the main parameters for the valve seat is proposed.The results show that the cooling structure weakens the pressure-bearing capability of the valve seat.Among the six main parameters of the valve seat,the distance from the end face of the lower hole to the Z-axis and the distance from the axis of the lower hole to the origin of the coordinates have the most obvious effects on the average stress of the valve seat.An optimum design value is proposed.This work can provide a reference for the design of high-temperature and high-pressure valves.

文摘1. Introduction Research on the ground effect of rotor can be traced back to the 1930s1.However, few studies have been conducted on the aerodynamic characteristics of rotors and ducted fans when hovering near a water surface for an extended period.With the emergence of cross-media rotorcraft, rotor wakes interact violently with the water surface to generate large-scale,air–water droplet mixed flows (hereafter referred to as mixed air–water flows). Rotors operating in mixed air–water flows always have aerodynamic performances that are different from those owing to the In-Ground Effect (IGE) and Out-of Ground Effect (OGE). Accordingly, this effect is called the Near-Water Effect (NWE) of the rotor2,and it usually causes thrust loss and torque increase.

文摘The spatiotemporal distribution of soot concentration in aero-engine combustor is important for assessing its combustion performance.Here,we report experimental measurements of soot concentration in terms of Soot Volume Fraction(SVF)and its spatiotemporal distribution in a single-sector dual-swirl aero-engine combustor using Two-Color Laser-Induced Incandescence(2C-LII).It is shown that soot predominantly forms in the symmetrical vortices of the primary combustion zone,exhibiting a V-type distribution with higher concentration in the lower half of the zone than the upper half,with a small amount distributed in the secondary recirculation zone.Soot emissions at the combustor outlet are relatively low under three typical operating conditions by LII experiments,which is aligned with Smoke Number(SN)from gas analysis.The effect of inlet air temperature on SVF distribution and dynamics in the primary combustion zone is studied,which suggests that the SVF level in the primary combustion zone monotonically increases with the temperature.Meanwhile,the SVF distribution becomes more symmetrical as the inlet temperature increases,although the overall SVF level in the lower half of the zone is still higher.We also investigate the influence of the inlet air pressure on the SVF distribution at the combustor outlet.The soot concentration at the combustor outlet increases with inlet pressure,mainly distributed irregularly across both sides and the center.On both sides,the distribution is continuous,while the center exhibits dot-like and linear patterns.Numerical simulations correlated SVF distribution with the flow field in the primary combustion zone,qualitatively explaining the observed SVF distribution behavior.These results under various conditions can provide valuable insights for improving the performance of this specific combustor and designing high-temperature-rise combustors in the future.

文摘To facilitate the low-noise design of tandem lift bodies as applied in aeroengines and aircraft,the acoustic features of tandem blades are investigated by wind-tunnel experiments.This is further specialized for the rotating blades applied in contra-rotating open rotors under the concept of frozen-rotor.A 70-channel phased microphone array and nine high-precision free-field microphones are employed.The beamforming method,enhanced by a source filtering technique,is employed to locate noise sources,providing insights into the source patterns of blade-blade interaction noise concerning flow speed,blade spacing,and aft blade clipping.The results show the following:(A)Sources of tandem-blade noise exist in the form of concentrated source clusters,resulting in two major clusters:the mid-span interaction noise and the tip-induced noise.(B)These source clusters tend to separate as flow speed or blade spacing increases.(C)By increasing blade spacing,the band-pass filtered overall sound pressure level is reduced by 2.9 dB.(D)A two-phase noise suppression pattern is observed with blade clipping,resulting in a total reduction of 3.0 dB for the interaction noise through the removal of tip-induced noise sources and the replacement of mid-span noise sources.Based on these findings,suggestions concerning blade spacing and clipping are discussed.

文摘It is well known that appropriate aerobic exercise can effectively alleviate fatty liver and enhance brain function.The concept of multi-organ crosstalk coordinating disease progression has become the current research hot topic.However,there remains an urgent need to elucidate its specific mechanisms.This study aimed to explore the impact of a high-fat diet(HFD)on liver health and cognitive function,and to further uncover the regulatory effect of aerobic exercise by liver-specific activating transcription factor 3(Atf3)knockout(ATF3cKO)mice in a“liver-brain”axis mode.The 5-week-old C57BL/6 and ATF3cKO mice were fed with HFD for 32 weeks,and sequentially subjected to aerobic exercise intervention at the 20th week for another 12 consecutive weeks.Meanwhile,C57BL/6 mice were provided with a normal diet as the control group.The functional parameters of liver and brain of all mice were assessed.Cognitive capacity of all mice was assessed by the Morris water maze(MWM).Inflammatory factors in the serum and brain of mice were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the expression of inflammasomes was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Additionally,the activation of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)signal pathways was analyzed by Western blotting.In this study,HFD impaired hepatic and brain functions,while aerobic exercise and liver-specific Atf3 knockout suppressed inflammatory factors in the peripheral circulation through hepatoprotective mechanisms,thereby attenuating cerebral inflammation and preserving neurological integrity,as well as mitigating HFD-induced cognitive decline.

文摘Quantitative measurement of Soot Volume Fraction (SVF) is an essential prerequisite for controlling soot particle emissions from aero-engine combustors. As an in-situ and non-intrusive optical diagnostic technique, Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) has been increasingly applied for soot concentration quantification in various combustion environments such as laminar flame, vehicle exhaust, internal combustion chamber as well as aero-engine combustor. In this work, we experimentally measured the spatial and temporal distribution of SVF using two-color LII technique at the outlet of a single-sector dual-swirl aero-engine model combustor. The effect of inlet pressure and air preheat temperature on the SVF distribution was separately investigated within a pressure range of 241–425 kPa and a temperature range of 292–500 K. The results show that soot production increases with the inlet pressure but generally decreases with the air preheat temperature. Qualitative analysis was provided to explain the above results of parametric studies. The LII experiments were also conducted under 3 designed conditions to evaluate soot emission under practical operations. Particularly, weak soot emission was detected at the outlet under the idle condition. Our experimental results provide a valuable benchmark for evaluating soot emission in the exhaust plume of this aero-engine combustor during practical operations.

文摘This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the theory and methods for differentiating and treating insomnia in Bu Ju Ji by Wu Cheng,a physician of the Qing Dynasty.By systematically sorting out the origin of Wu Cheng’s academic thoughts,this study explores his unique perspective on differentiating and treating insomnia,analyzes the compatibility rules of his core formulas and herbs,and reveals the characteristics of his medication use as well as its guiding value for later clinical practice.Research shows that Wu Cheng integrated the principles of the I Ching(Book of Changes)with medical theories to construct a theoretical system for consumptive diseases.In the differentiation and treatment of insomnia,he emphasized the dynamic balance of zang-fu organs,Qi,blood,Yin and Yang,with special attention to the impact of spleen-Yin deficiency on insomnia.He thus formed distinctive academic features,including treating both deficiency and excess,taking into account both Qi and blood,and regulating the spleen to protect the body’s defense system.In terms of medication,he was skilled in using herbs that are sweet and warm in nature for tonification,harmonizing Qi and blood,and invigorating the spleen to nourish Yin.These insights hold significant reference value for modern TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine)in the treatment of insomnia.

文摘Aqueous ammonium-ion batteries(AAIBs)showed great potential in large-scale energy storage systems due to their low-cost,ultrafast kinetics,plentiful resources,inherent security and environmental friendliness.Herein,the well-dispersed Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)nanorods and agglomerated MnV_(2)O_(4)nanoparticles were prepared and firstly used as anodes for AAIBs.The ultrafast reaction kinetics and NH_(4)^(+)diffusion kinetics of Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)were confirmed by systematically contrasting with MnV_(2)O_(4).Specifically,Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)delivered perfect cyclic performances with 82.6%capacity retention after 500 cycles.When coupled with theβ-MnO_(2)cathode,theβ-MnO_(2)//Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)full batteries submitted a maximum energy density of 86 Wh.kg^(-1)and a maximum power density of 677W.kg^(-1).The phase transformation from Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)to Zn_(3)(OH)_(2)V_(2)O_(7).2H_(2)O during the first charge process and the reversible building/breaking behaviors of hydrogen bonds during the NH_(4)^(+)insertion/extraction processes were discussed by ex situ technology analyses.Thus,the fresh perceptions on the phase transformation laws and the hydrogen bonds evolution mechanisms could enrich the fundamental understanding of the NH_(4)^(+)storage mechanism,and promote the development of the practical applications for Zn_(3)V_(3)O_(8)in aqueous ammonium-ion batteries.

文摘With brick-wall solar greenhouses in Changli area as the research object,using temperature dynamic monitoring and statistical methods,the greenhouse structure suitable for promoting early cultivation of local peach trees was selected by studying the temperature data of the solar greenhouses during the winter solstice,and a prediction model for daily average temperature was constructed.The results showed that greenhouse Ⅰ had reasonable structural parameters and good daylight during the day.However,due to the low wall thickness and poor insulation material,the minimum temperature was significantly lower than other greenhouses.The thermal insulation performance of greenhouse Ⅱ and Ⅲ was better than that of greenhouse Ⅰ,but the depth-span ratio and the front roof lighting angle were smaller.During the winter solstice,the average temperature of the three greenhouses was between 10 and 15℃,which was suitable for early cultivation of peach trees.The prediction model of daily average temperature was obtained:Daily average temperature=1.02+0.69×Daily average temperature of the previous day+0.02×Maximum temperature of the previous day-0.01×Minimum temperature of the previous day.To sum up,the structural parameters of brick-wall solar greenhouses suitable for early cultivation of peach trees in Changli area were as follows:span 6.5-8.5 m,depth-span ratio 0.47,front roof lighting angle 30°and wall thickness greater than 55 cm.
