The arc, electrode and workpiece are integrated into one calculation domain to avoid both presumed distribution of the current density at the electrode tip and the assumption of constant conditions of interface between welding arc and workpiece. The distributions of electric potential, current density, magnetic flux density, electromagnetic force, velocity, temperature, and pressure of the arc plasma in the 3D space are analyzed by using the numerical model. Results indicate that the maximum gradient of the electric potential in the whole arc space exists around the electrode tip, where the electric current density, electromagnetic force, and temperature are also the maximum. However, maximum pressure is found at the velocity stagnation, which is above the workpiece.Comparison between predicted temperature and measured one in arc region shows a good agreement.展开更多

The approaches of numerical simulation and experimental verification were combined to conduct the further research on the bubble generation and movement behavior. The results show that ADMFB could display favorable expanded characteristics after steady fluidization. With different particle size distributions of magnetite powder as medium solids, we selected an appropriate prediction model for the mean bubble diameter in ADMFB. The comparison results indicate that the mean bubble diameters along the bed heights are 35 mm < D b < 66 mm and 40 mm < D b < 69 mm with the magnetite powder of 0.3 mm+0.15mm and 0.15mm+0.074mm, respectively. The prediction model provides good agreements with the experimental and simulation data. Based on the optimal operating gas velocity distribution, the mixture of magnetite powder and <1mm fine coal as medium solids were utilized to carry out the separation experiment on 6-50mm raw coal. The results show that an optimal separation density d P of 1.73g/cm 3 with a probable error E of 0.07g/cm 3 and a recovery efficiency of 99.97% is achieved, which indicates good separation performance by applying ADMFB.展开更多

Forest fires can be a hazard to the viability and sustainable management of forests with consequences for natural and cultural environments, economies, and the life quality of local and regional populations. Thus, the selection of strategies to manage forest fires, while considering both functional and economic efficiency, is of primary importance. The use of decision support systems(DSSs) by managers of forest fires has rapidly increased. This has strengthened capacity to prevent and suppress forest fires while protecting human lives and property. DSSs are a tool that can benefit incident management and decision making and policy, especially for emergencies such as natural disasters. In this study we reviewed state-of-the-art DSSs that use: database management systems and mathematical/economic algorithms for spatial optimization of firefighting forces; forest fire simulators and satellite technology for immediate detection and prediction of evolution of forest fires; GIS platforms that incorporate several tools to manipulate, process and analyze geographic data and develop strategic and operational plans.展开更多

This limitation maps only patial view of the problem to the device space at a time, and results in tedious and un natural interface of control. This paper uses the DataGlove interface for modeling and animating scene behaviors. The modeling interface selects, scales, rotates, translates,copies and deletes the instances of the prindtives. These basic modeling processes are directly performed in the task spacet using hand shapes and motions. Hand shapes are recoginzed as discrete states that trigger the commands, and hand motion are mapped to the movement of a selected instance. The interactions through hand interface place the user as a participant in the process of behavior simulation. Both event triggering and role switching of hand are experimented in simulation. The event mode of hand triggers control signals or commands through a menu interface. The object mode of hand simulates itself as an object whose appearance or motion inlluences the motions of other objects in scene. The involvement of hand creates a diversity of dyndric situations for testing variable scene behaviors. Our experiments have shown the potential use of this interface directly in the 3-D modeling and animation task space.展开更多

Due to the ambiguity of the low-valent Tc species in the catalytic process,the consumption mechanism remains to be further optimized. In this study,perrhenate (ReO4-) was used to simulate the redox behavior of TcO4- with hydrazine,and the consumption mechanism of hydrazine was examined. In batch experiments where different initial concentrations of ReO4- and hydrazine were used,the kinetic profile of hydrazine consisted of an induction period,a rapid reaction stage,and a termination stage. There was only a slight decrease in the hydrazine concentration during the induction period,and the length of the induction period was strongly dependent on the initial concentrations of hydrazine and ReO4-. Then,the hydrazine concentration significantly decreased during the rapid reaction stage,and was completely consumed after the termination stage. Because excess hydrazine was over-consumed,the Re species in the reaction were investigated to study the hydrazine consumption mechanism. ReO4- was slowly reduced to ReO42- and Re(IV) species during an induction period,with an absorption peak of 269 nm and 301 nm,respectively,and X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) also supported evidence of ReO42- and soluble Re(IV) species. Most Re(IV) species were hydrolyzed to ReO2·nH2O during the rapid reaction stage. Further experiments suggest that ReO2/ReO2·nH2O would catalyze the decomposition of hydrazine at room temperature,and lead to the excessive consumption of hydrazine in the reaction. Gas chromatography confirmed that hydrazine mainly decomposed into N2 and NH3.展开更多

摘要Based on the Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic(MHD) theory, a united three-dimensional(3D) transient numerical model is developed to investigate the dynamic behaviors of arc plasma for a magnesium alloy AZ61A gas tungsten arc welding(GTAW) arc. The arc, electrode and workpiece are integrated into one calculation domain to avoid both presumed distribution of the current density at the electrode tip and the assumption of constant conditions of interface between welding arc and workpiece. The distributions of electric potential, current density, magnetic flux density, electromagnetic force, velocity, temperature, and pressure of the arc plasma in the 3D space are analyzed by using the numerical model. Results indicate that the maximum gradient of the electric potential in the whole arc space exists around the electrode tip, where the electric current density, electromagnetic force, and temperature are also the maximum. However, maximum pressure is found at the velocity stagnation, which is above the workpiece.Comparison between predicted temperature and measured one in arc region shows a good agreement.

摘要The reaction between pertechnetate (99TcO4-) and hydrazine is considered to be that of a complex inorganic chain in the PUREX process,in which hydrazine is excessively consumed with a high stoichiometric ratio of [N2H4]/[Tc]. Due to the ambiguity of the low-valent Tc species in the catalytic process,the consumption mechanism remains to be further optimized. In this study,perrhenate (ReO4-) was used to simulate the redox behavior of TcO4- with hydrazine,and the consumption mechanism of hydrazine was examined. In batch experiments where different initial concentrations of ReO4- and hydrazine were used,the kinetic profile of hydrazine consisted of an induction period,a rapid reaction stage,and a termination stage. There was only a slight decrease in the hydrazine concentration during the induction period,and the length of the induction period was strongly dependent on the initial concentrations of hydrazine and ReO4-. Then,the hydrazine concentration significantly decreased during the rapid reaction stage,and was completely consumed after the termination stage.

ReO4- was slowly reduced to ReO42- and Re(IV) species during an induction period,with an absorption peak of 269 nm and 301 nm,respectively,and X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) also supported evidence of ReO42- and soluble Re(IV) species. Most Re(IV) species were hydrolyzed to ReO2·nH2O during the rapid reaction stage.
