In this work, a set of apparatus was set up to determine the Joule-Thomson effect of binary mixtures(CO2+ H2). The accuracy of the apparatus was verified by comparing with the experimental data of carbon dioxide. The Joule-Thomson coefficients(μJT) for(CO2+ H2) binary mixtures with mole fractions of carbon dioxide(x_(CO2)= 0.1, 0.26, 0.5,0.86, 0.94) along six isotherms at various pressures were measured. Five equations of state EOSs(PR,SRK, PR, BWR and GERG-2008 equation) were used to calculate the μJTfor both pure systems and binary systems, among which the GERG-2008 predicted best with a wide range of pressure and temperature.Moreover, the Joule-Thomson inversion curves(JTIC) were calculated with five equations of state. A comparison was made between experimental data and predicted data for the inversion curve of CO2. The investigated EOSs show a similar prediction of the low-temperature branch of the JTIC for both pure and binary systems, except for the BWRS equation of state. Among all the equations, SRK has the most similar result to GERG-2008 for predicting JTIC.展开更多

The simulated results were compared with experimental data from low load trials for a 400 kW inductor. The results,such as power factor and Joule heating power,show reasonable correlation with experimental data,and Joule heating rate reaches the maximum at the corners and the minimum at the centre of the cross-section area. With increasing relative permeability of iron core,length of coils,current frequency and resistivity of metal melt,the power factor and Joule heating power change. It is concluded that current frequency,the resistivity and length of the coil play a critical role in determining the power factor and Joule heating power,whereas relative permeability of the magnetic core shows no significant influence on them.展开更多

摘要With the continuous advancement of electronic devices,flexible thin films with both thermal manage-ment functions and excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding properties have received much attention.Hence,inspired by Janus,a CNF/MXene/ZnFe2O4@PANI composite film with an asymmetric gradient alternating structure was successfully prepared by adjusting the filler content of the conduc-tive and magnetic layers using a vacuum-assisted filtration method.Benefiting from the magnetic reso-nance and hysteresis loss of ZnFe2O4@PANI,conductive loss and dipole polarization of MXene,as well as the exclusive"absorption-reflection-reabsorption"shielding feature in the alternating multilayered films,CM&CZFP-4 G film has superior EMI shielding performance,with an EMI SE of up to 45.75 dB and shield-ing effectiveness of 99.99%.Surprisingly,the composite film maintains reliable EMI shielding properties even after prolonged erosion in harsh environments such as high/low temperatures,high humidity,acids and alkalis.Furthermore,the CM&CZFP-4 G responded quickly within about 50 s and reached a maximum steady-state temperature of 235.8℃ at an applied voltage of 9.0 V,indicating the obtained film acquired outstanding and controllable Joule heating performance.This result was attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of MXene to build up a conductive network and endow the CNF/MXene with high conduc-tivity.Meanwhile,the fire resistance of CM&CZFP-4 G was significantly improved compared to pure CNF,which guaranteed fire safety during its application.Additionally,contributed by long fiber entanglement of CNF,extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions and multilayer structural design,the CM&CZFP-4 G film exhibits excellent mechanical characteristics,with the tensile strength and fracture strain of 27.74 MPa and 6.21%,separately.This work offers a creative avenue to prepare multifunctional composite films with electromagnetic shielding and Joule heating for various application environments.

摘要Natural biomass-derived carbon material is one promising alternative to traditional graphene-based catalyst for oxygen electrocatalysis.However,their electrocatalytic performance were constrained by the limited modulating strategy.Herein,using N-doped commercial coconut shell-derived activated carbon(AC)as catalyst model,the controllably enhanced sp2-C domains,through an flash Joule heating process,effectively improve the edge defect density and overall graphitization degree of AC catalyst,which tunes the electronic structure of N configurations and accelerates electron transfer,leading to excellent oxygen reduction reaction performance(half-wave potential of 0.884 VRHE,equivalent to commercial 20%Pt/C,with a higher kinetic current density of 5.88 mA cm−2)and oxygen evolution reaction activity(overpotential of 295 mV at 10 mA cm2).In a Zn-air battery,the catalyst shows outstanding cycle stability(over 1200 h)and a peak power density of 121 mW cm−2,surpassing commercial Pt/C and RuO2catalysts.Density functional theory simulation reveals that the enhanced catalytic activity arises from the axial regulation of local sp2-C domains.This work establishes a robust strategy for sp2-C domain modulation,offering broad applicability in natural biomass-based carbon catalysts for electrocatalysis.
摘要Maximizing the efficiency of thermal engineering equipment involves minimizing entropy generation,which arises from irreversible processes.This study examines thermal transport and entropy generation in viscous flow over a radially stretching disk,incorporating the effects of magnetohydrodynamics(MHD),viscous dissipation,Joule heating,and radiation.Similarity transformations are used to obtain dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations(ODEs)from the governing coupled partial differential equations(PDEs).The converted equations are then solved by using the BVP4C solver in MATLAB.To validate the findings,the results are compared with previously published studies under fixed parameter conditions,demonstrating strong agreement.Various key parameters are analyzed graphically to assess their impact on velocity and temperature distributions.Additionally,Bejan number and entropy generation variations are presented for different physical parameters.The injection parameter(S0)reduces it,exhibiting similar effects on fluid velocity.The magnetic parameter(M)effectively decreases entropy generation within the range of approximately 0≤η≤0.6.Beyond this interval,its influence diminishes as entropy generation values converge,with similar trends observed for the Bejan number.Furthermore,increased thermal radiation intensity is identified as a critical factor in enhancing entropy generation and the Bejan number.

摘要1.Introduction B4C ceramics have high potential for use in aerospace,military,nuclear energy,and other fields owing to their excellent properties such as low density,high melting point,high hardness,high chem-ical stability,excellent wear resistance,and good neutron absorp-tion ability[1-3].However,the fracture toughness(1.9 MPa·m1/2)of B4C is poor[2].Furthermore,the low diffusion coefficient asso-ciated with the strong covalent bond of B4C makes it very difficult to achieve densification through traditional pressureless sintering.For example,after the pressureless sintering of B4C at 2375℃ for 1 h,Roy et al.[4]achieved a relative density of only 87%.

摘要Combining interfacial solar evaporation with a three-phase photocatalytic system can theoretically improve the production efficiency of ammonia.Herein,we designed a simple solar evaporator via in situ growth of TiO2onto hydrophilic carbon paper using a fast Joule heating method.This system had porous channels for high water evaporation rates,wide light-responsive wavelength range,effective light absorption,and potentially high catalytic activity.The lattice disorder and oxygen vacancies created by the rapid heating and cooling process could be reaction sites for nitrogen adsorption and activation.The ammonia yield in the three-phase system was up to 360.37 mol·g-1·h-1,which was higher than the two-phase system(17.14μmol·g-1·h-1).Additionally,the ammonia yield rate was 73.65μmol·g-1·h-1in an outdoor test,demonstrating the potential for large-scale solar nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR).As detected,the activation energy for N2 reduction to NH3 was reduced to 26.3 kJ·mol-1,indicating that this process was facilitated by the design of the photothermal-photocatalytic system.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculations confirmed the roles of oxygen vacancies as active sites in promoting the NRR.This work provided a new approach to applying solar evaporators for the highly efficient ammonia production by the synergistic effects of photothermal and photocatalytic processes.

摘要To overcome the shortage of complex equipment,large volume,and high energy consumption in space capsule manufacturing,a novel sliding pressure Joule heat fuse additive manufacturing technique with reduced volume and low energy consumption was proposed.But the unreasonable process parameters may lead to the inferior consistency of the forming quality of single-channel multilayer in Joule heat additive manufacturing process,and it is difficult to reach the condition for forming thinwalled parts.Orthogonal experiments were designed to fabricate single-channel multilayer samples with varying numbers of layers,and their forming quality was evaluated.The influence of printing current,forming speed,and contact pressure on the forming quality of the single-channel multilayer was analyzed.The optimal process parameters were obtained and the quality characterization of the experiment results was conducted.Results show that the printing current has the most significant influence on the forming quality of the single-channel multilayer.Under the optimal process parameters,the forming section is well fused and the surface is continuously smooth.The surface roughness of a single-channel 3-layer sample is 0.16μm,and the average Vickers hardness of cross section fusion zone is 317 HV,which lays a foundation for the subsequent use of Joule heat additive manufacturing technique to form thinwall parts.

摘要This study investigates the heat transfer and flow dynamics of a ternary hybrid nanofluid comprising alumina,copper,and silicaitania nanoparticles dispersed in water.The analysis considers the effects of suction,magnetic field,and Joule heating over a permeable shrinking disk.Amathematicalmodel is developed and converted to a systemof differential equations using similarity transformation which then,solved numerically using the bvp4c solver in Matlab software.The study introduces a novel comparative analysis of alumina-copper-silica and alumina-coppertitania nanofluids,revealing distinct thermal conductivity behaviors and identifying critical suction values necessary for flow stabilization.Dual solutions are found within a specific range of parameters such that the minimum required suction values for flow stability,with Sc=1.2457 for alumina-copper-silica/water and Sc=1.2351 for alumina-coppertitania/water.The results indicate that increasing suction by 1%enhances the skin friction coefficient by up to 4.17%and improves heat transfer efficiency by approximately 1%,highlighting its crucial role in stabilizing the opposing flow induced by the shrinking disk.Additionally,the inclusion of 1%silica nanoparticles reduces both skin friction and heat transfer rate by approximately 0.28%and 0.85%,respectively,while 1%titania concentration increases skin friction by 3.02%but results in a slight heat transfer loss of up to 0.61%.These findings confirm the superior thermal performance of alumina-copper-titania/water,making it a promising candidate for enhanced cooling systems,energy-efficient heat exchangers,and industrial thermal management applications.

摘要Ultrafast Joule heating(JH)has emerged as a powerful and scalable platform for rapid thermal processing of advanced nanomaterials.By delivering transient,high-intensity electrical pulses,JH induces ultrafast heating and cooling rates on the order of milliseconds,facilitating nonequilibrium phase transitions,defect modulation,and tailored nanostructural evolution.This technique offers unprecedented control over material synthesis and has been successfully applied to a broad spectrum of functional property-driven materials,including graphene,single-atom catalysts,transition metal carbides,oxides,nitrides,phosphides,and chalcogenides,as well as complex multicomponent frameworks such as high-entropy alloys.This review systematically explores the principles governing JH,highlights recent advances in its application to diverse materials systems,and critically assesses current limitations related to process uniformity,scalability,and mechanistic understanding.Particular attention is given to its intrinsic advantages,including energy efficiency,fast rate,environmental sustainability,and compatibility with sustainable manufacturing.Finally,we propose guidance for expanding the utility of JH for new materials discovery,including integration with in-situ diagnostics,theoretical compatibility and data-driven optimization of synthesis to effectively correlate structure-property relationships.

摘要The Joule-Thomson effect is one of the important thermodynamic properties in the system relevant to gas switching reforming with carbon capture and storage(CCS). In this work, a set of apparatus was set up to determine the Joule-Thomson effect of binary mixtures(CO2+ H2). The accuracy of the apparatus was verified by comparing with the experimental data of carbon dioxide. The Joule-Thomson coefficients(μJT) for(CO2+ H2) binary mixtures with mole fractions of carbon dioxide(x_(CO2)= 0.1, 0.26, 0.5,0.86, 0.94) along six isotherms at various pressures were measured. Five equations of state EOSs(PR,SRK, PR, BWR and GERG-2008 equation) were used to calculate the μJTfor both pure systems and binary systems, among which the GERG-2008 predicted best with a wide range of pressure and temperature.Moreover, the Joule-Thomson inversion curves(JTIC) were calculated with five equations of state. A comparison was made between experimental data and predicted data for the inversion curve of CO2. The investigated EOSs show a similar prediction of the low-temperature branch of the JTIC for both pure and binary systems, except for the BWRS equation of state. Among all the equations, SRK has the most similar result to GERG-2008 for predicting JTIC.

摘要Although MXene sheets possess high electrical conductivity and rich surface chemistry and are well suit-able for fabricating electrically conductive nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference(EMI)shield-ing applications,it remains challenging for MXene nanocomposites to achieve tunable EMI shielding per-formances and customized geometries.Herein,an aqueous MXene/sodium alginate ink is developed to print aerogel meshes with customized geometries using a direct ink writing approach.An ion-enhanced strategy is proposed to reinforce the printed aerogel meshes by multi-level cross-linking.The resultant 3D printed aerogel mesh exhibits an ultrahigh electrical conductivity of 2.85×103S m−1,outstanding mechanical properties,and excellent structural stability in wet environment.More importantly,a wide range of tunable EMI shielding efficiencies from 45 to 100 dB is achieved by the structural design of the 3D printed ion-enhanced MXene/sodium alginate aerogel meshes.As a Joule heater,in addition,the printed aerogel meshes can achieve a wide temperature range of 40-135℃at low driving voltages.This work demonstrates a direct ink writing approach for the fabrication of ion-enhanced MXene/sodium al-ginate aerogel meshes with tunable EMI shielding properties and multi-functionalities for applications in many scenarios.

摘要In order to investigate Joule heating power,a three-dimensional finite element model(FEM) was developed to predict Joule heating power in the channels of double-loop inductor. The simulated results were compared with experimental data from low load trials for a 400 kW inductor. The results,such as power factor and Joule heating power,show reasonable correlation with experimental data,and Joule heating rate reaches the maximum at the corners and the minimum at the centre of the cross-section area. With increasing relative permeability of iron core,length of coils,current frequency and resistivity of metal melt,the power factor and Joule heating power change. It is concluded that current frequency,the resistivity and length of the coil play a critical role in determining the power factor and Joule heating power,whereas relative permeability of the magnetic core shows no significant influence on them.

摘要The titanium carbide nanosheets(MXene)hold great potential for fabricating high-performance electronics due to their two-dimensional layered structure,high electrical conductivity,and versatile surface chemistry.However,assembling the small MXene nanosheets into flexible macroscopic films for wearable electronics still remains a challenge.Herein,we report the hierarchical assembling of MXene nanosheets and cellulose nanofibers into high-performance composite films via an electrostatic self-assembly strategy induced by polyethyleneimine.Benefited from the nacre-like microstructure of MXene"bricks"and cellulose nanofibers"mortars"interlocked by polyethyleneimine via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction,composite films possess integrated superior flexibility,high tensile strength,and stable electrical conductivity,which are advantageous for wearable electronic applications.To provide a proof-of-concept design,a symmetric quasi-solid-state supercapacitor with the as-prepared composite film as electrode is fabricated,which exhibits a specific capacitance of 93.9 mF cm-2at a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2and almost constant capacitive behavior under different bending states.In addition,the composite film possesses capacities of electrothermal conversion and complete degradation in a hydrogen peroxide solution.These results demonstrate that the electrostatically self-assembled composite films hold great promise in the development of highly flexible,mechanically robust,and environmentally friendly energy storage and conversion devices.
