Quantitative analysis of fuel-saving potential for waste heat recovery system integrated with hybrid electric vehicle

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) with low fuel consumption, low emissions, and long driving range are the ideal transition models between conventional fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles. The growing demand for increased vehicle efficiency has motivated the introduction of waste heat recovery (WHR) technology in the automotive industry, with the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) as the most promising measure for recycling waste energy. Currently, only a few studies have been conducted to couple HEV and WHR systems. These studies have mainly focused on the hybrid powertrain control strategy, but lack quantitative methods to comprehensively analyze the fuel-saving potential due to the WHR system. In this study, an HEV-WHR integrated system that includes a mechanism-based dynamic model of ORC and a hybrid diesel-electric truck model is established. Further, a quantitative evaluation method that simultaneously considers the negative integrated effects (increased vehicle weight and increased exhaust back pressure) and the positive impact values of the engine, motor, and WHR system on the fuel-saving potential is proposed. Finally, the influence of two environmental factors (wind speed and ambient temperature) on the fuel-saving performance is analyzed. The results reveal that under the standard highway driving cycle (HWY), the negative integrated effects reduce the ideal fuel-saving potential of the HEV-WHR system from 6.10% to 5.42%. However, the optimized performances of the engine, motor, and WHR system improve the fuel-saving rate by 0.39%, 1.81%, and 3.22%, respectively. The results also indicate that the fuel-saving potential increases from 1.62% to 8.60% with increasing wind speed and decreases from 6.70% to 4.25% with increasing ambient temperature.

Processing map and hot deformation behavior of Ta-particle reinforced TiAl composite

The hot deformation behavior of a Ta-particle reinforced TiAl composite was studied. Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb– 0.2W(at.%)/20vol.%Ta metal matrix composite was fabricated by spark plasma sintering. The deformation behavior was investigated by hot compression tests at the temperature ranging from 1050 to 1200 °C and the strain rate ranging from 1×10⁻³ to 1 s⁻¹. The constitutive equation containing true strain variables was established. The values of activation energy Q under different strain degrees are between 240 and 280 kJ/mol, which are lower than that of pure TiAl. Based on dynamic material modeling, the processing maps at various strain degrees were established, and the optimized parameters for hot working are 1050–1100 °C and 0.005–0.01 s⁻¹. The microstructural evolution during deformation was characterized, which indicated that the dynamic recrystallization plays an important role in this process.     

Characteristics of as-prepared biochar derived from catalytic pyrolysis within moderate-temperature ionic liquid for CO2 uptake

A promising biochar as solid adsorbent for CO₂ uptake was prepared by the catalytic pyrolysis of coconut shell in moderate-temperature ionic liquid (IL). Then, it was characterized by means of SEM, EDS, BPEA, BET, NLDFT, FTIR, and TG-DSC, and a mechanism interpretation of the porous biochar formation was conducted. In addition, the adsorption characteristics of CO₂ on the as-prepared biochar, such as adsorption capacity, adsorption potential, isosteric heat, and static selectivity at different adsorption temperatures and pressures, were systematically evaluated. The results indicated that the as-prepared biochar exhibited an adequate CO₂ adsorption with a capacity of 4.5 mmol/g at 273 K and 100 kPa. Then, a significant number of slit-like pores were revealed to exist on the as-prepared biochar with a peak pore size between a range of 0.6 nm-2 nm. The porous structure formation was ascribed to the release of carbon-, hydrogen-, oxygen-, sulphur-, and nitrogen-containing compounds during biochar preparation. Meanwhile, both the adsorption potential and isosteric heat of the CO₂ uptake under the tested conditions decreased with an increase in the adsorption capacity, which ranged from 33 kJ/mol-21 kJ/mol and 23 kJ/mol-7 kJ/mol, respectively. Therefore, the isosteric heat could be considered as a piecewise function of adsorption capacity. In addition, the molar ratios of CO₂ over N₂ adsorbed under the tested conditions were above 11 and were accompanied by molar ratio peaks of 26 at 273 K and 19 at 298 K, respectively. Moreover, an interesting phenomenon occurred: the static adsorptive selectivity of CO₂ over N₂ first increased and then decreased and there was an increase in the adsorption pressure at the tested adsorption temperatures.     

负载羧基化球状介孔纳米颗粒TFN膜的研究

在薄层复合膜(thin-film composite membrane, TFC膜)中引入无机纳米颗粒，形成薄层纳米复合膜(thin-film nanocomposite membrane, TFN膜)，近几年作为反渗透膜开始应用于水处理研究。但是无机纳米颗粒在TFC膜中的性能的不稳定性和膜的机械强度等变成了突出问题。合成制备了粒径约为110 nm修饰羧基的介孔氧化硅球状纳米颗粒(MSN—COOH)，并将其成功地化学键合在TFC膜的表面功能层交联网络中。与TFC膜相比，键合有MSN—COOH的TFN膜，水通量提高了56.2%，保持高脱盐率；由于单分散介孔纳米颗粒表面亲水官能团的引入，使膜表面的亲水性有很大程度提高，单分散介孔纳米颗粒在基体中的有序排列，使膜表面粗糙度降低，提高了膜的抗污染能力。与普通TFN膜相比较，具有更好的稳定性和柔韧性，可以在长时间高压过滤操作下保持稳定。
