Effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on 3D magneto slip flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow over a slendering sheet with binary chemical reaction and Arrhenius activation energy

An analysis is performed to study the combined effects of nonlinear thermal radiation, Arrhenius activation energy, chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption on the steady three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow over a slendering stretchable sheet with velocity, thermal and solutal slips. The prevailing partial differential equations are transmuted into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations via with the suitable similarity transformations. The resultant non-linear coupled differential equations are solved numerically by using the R-K 4^th order method along with shooting scheme. The results are calculated to measure the influence of sundry parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, shear stress, temperature gradient and concentration gradient are presented graphically and in tabular form. It is noticed that the temperature is more impactable for higher values of radiative heat transport. The local Sherwood number decays exponentially for all the values of the chemical reaction parameter. We compared the present results for the limiting cases with previously published results, which has shown reliability and efficiency.     

The isothermal reduction kinetics of chromium-bearing vanadium–titanium magnetite sinter

The reduction of chromium-bearing vanadium–titanium magnetite sinter (CVTMS) by CO was investigated at 1123–1223?K. The reduction degree increased with increasing temperature. The isothermal reduction kinetics of CVTMS was analysed, according to Sharp analysis and ln–ln analysis, the kinetic mechanism of reduction process for all samples in different basicity can be represented as f(α)?=?1.61(1?α)[?ln(1?α)]^1–1/1.61. The reaction activation energy of all samples (R?=?1.9, 2.1, 2.3, obtained according to the components of the materials burdening used in sintering process) at different reaction degrees were calculated by the model-free method. And the pre-exponential factors of reaction also were calculated by the mathematical method. The rate controlling step for the reduction process under the present reduction condition was chemical reaction.     

脱硫胶粉在乳化改性沥青中的应用

考察了不同规格胶粉及不同脱硫程度的脱硫胶粉对橡胶改性乳化沥青性能的影响,结果表明,采用100目胶粉即可制备出橡胶改性乳化沥青,但乳化沥青的性能较差;采用活化度为50%左右的100目脱硫胶粉制备乳化沥青时,脱硫胶粉的用量相比于胶粉可大幅提高;在通过外掺100目50%左右活化度的脱硫胶粉(质量分数15%,以沥青计,下同)和质量分数2%的苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物改性的乳化沥青中添加质量分数1%的丁苯胶乳,所制备橡胶改性乳化沥青无筛上剩余物,5 d储存稳定性为2.9%,蒸发残留物的25℃针入度、软化点和5℃延度分别为55 (0.1 mm)、64.5℃和22.5 cm,能够满足乳化改性沥青的技术指标要求。     

氮气对复采工作面遗煤复燃的防治效能

为探究不同体积分数N₂对复采工作面遗煤复燃过程的防治效果，采用自主研发的程序升温试验装置，对煤样分别通入体积分数为10%、20%、30%和40%的N₂，以氧化反应过程中耗氧速率V_O2、一氧化碳产生率V_CO和表观活化能E的变化情况来反映煤自燃的发展程度。试验表明:不同体积分数的N₂对煤氧化升温过程均具有抑制作用，相比于煤在纯空气条件下的氧化自燃，通入的N₂体积分数越大，煤初次自燃和二次氧化升温过程的V_O2和V_CO更低、E更高，说明通入的氮气体积分数越大，对煤氧化升温过程的抑制效率越好。其中，在煤初次自燃阶段，当N2体积分数C_N2≥20%时抑制效果更佳；在煤二次氧化复燃阶段，当N₂体积分数C_N2≥40%时抑制效果更佳。     

Towards Efficient Nonenzymatic DNA Ligation: Comparing Key Parameters for Maximizing Ligation Rates and Yields with Carbodiimide Activation**

Chemical ligation is an important tool for the generation of synthetic DNA structures, which are used for a wide range of applications. Surprisingly, reported chemical ligation yields can range from 30 to 95 % for the same chemical activating agent and comparable DNA structures. We report a systematic study of DNA ligation by using a well-defined bimolecular test system and a water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC) as a phosphate-activating agent. Our results emphasize the interplay between template-substrate complex stability and the rates of the chemical steps of ligation, with 3′ phosphate substrates providing yields near 100 % after 24 hours for particularly favorable reaction conditions. Ligation rates are also shown to be sensitive to the identity of the base pairs flanking a nick site, with as much as threefold variation. Finally, the observation that DNA substrates are modified by EDC at rates that can be comparable with ligation rates emphasizes the importance of considering side reactions when designing protocols to maximize ligation yields.

A novel route for synthesis of alumina–chromium carbide composites from PTFE-activated Cr2O3/Al/C combustion

Fabrication of alumina-chromium carbide composites was investigated by PTFE-activated Cr₂O₃/Al/C combustion synthesis. PTFE was employed as not only a reaction promoter, but a carburizing agent. Three reaction systems were prepared with different contents of carbon for the synthesis of Cr₂₃C₆, Cr₇C₃, and Cr₃C₂. The amounts of PTFE were selected to ensure combustion synthesis in the SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) mode and to provide carbon in quantities of 15 and 25?mol% of the total carbon. Experimental results showed that the combustion wave velocity and temperature decreased with increasing carbon, but increased with PTFE. A correlation between combustion wave velocity and temperature contributed to determination of the activation energy E_a =?89.15?kJ/mol for the combustion reaction. The increase of PTFE also improved formation of chromium carbides. As a result, the Cr₂₃C₆– and Cr₇C₃–Al₂O₃ composites were produced with almost no impurities. Due to a loss of carbon in carbothermic reduction, the Cr₃C₂–Al₂O₃ composite was obtained with Cr₇C₃ as the secondary carbide. SEM micrographs and DES analyses indicated that spherical carbide grains with a size of 0.5–3.0 μm were synthesized.     

PREPARATION AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF NANOSCALE POROUS CARBON ELECTRODE MATERIALS BASED ON RICE PLANT SOOT

Supercapacitors are a kind of novel energy storage devices with long cycle stability and high power density. Electrode materials selection is one of the key factors that affect the properties of supercapacitors. Biomass-derived electrode materials – being low cost, renewable and environmentally friendly – are therefore attracting researchers’ attention. In this work, we adopted a simple process of carbonization and activation with rice plant soot, a common biomass material, as carbon source, and finally obtained the nanoscale porous carbon electrode (NPCE) materials. Then, the electrochemical properties of the as-prepared NPCE materials were tested in 6 M KOH, and the results indicated that the specific capacitance could reach 216?Fg^?1. Therefore, this low-cost, highly efficient technique is a significant milepost towards environmentally sustainable and commercially feasible fabrication of carbon electrode materials from biomass sources.     

高铁酸盐-亚硫酸盐体系氧化降解水中污染物阿特拉津

针对目前日益严峻的农药污染问题，本文以阿特拉津（ATZ）为目标污染物，利用高铁酸盐活化亚硫酸盐的方式对其进行降解。探究了亚硫酸盐浓度、高铁酸盐浓度、ATZ浓度、pH以及亚硫酸盐投加方式对ATZ去除率的影响。研究结果表明，在pH为7、高铁酸盐浓度为100μmol/L、亚硫酸盐浓度为400μmol/L、ATZ的浓度为5μmol/L的条件下，10s时间内可以去除95%的ATZ。利用自由基淬灭实验对体系中的活性物质进行鉴定，结果表明，高铁酸盐-亚硫酸盐体系中起主要作用的是硫酸根自由基（SO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{·-}），其对ATZ降解的贡献约占53%；其次是羟基自由基（·OH），约占36%。通过改变亚硫酸盐投加方式，减少了SO{}_{\mathrm{4}}^{·-}的自我消耗，提高了高铁酸盐-亚硫酸盐降解ATZ的效率。这些实验结果有助于高铁酸盐-亚硫酸盐体系的实际水处理应用。
