Review of the phase change material (PCM) usage for solar domestic water heating systems (SDWHS)

The shortage in energy resources combined with the climb in greenhouse emissions is the main incentive beyond the deployment of solar energy resource in various applications. One of the most successful applications is the utilization of solar energy in the domestic water heating systems (DWHS) because 70% of the consumed energy in the residential segment is utilized for space heating and appliances in cold climates 1 . However, the full deployment of solar energy in domestic water heating is only possible when an energy storage system with acceptable price is available. Recently a new tendency for deploying phase change materials (PCMs) as an energy storage system is introduced in several solar DWHS. These systems are known as integrated PCM in solar DWHS and offer several advantages including high storage capacity, low storage volume, and isothermal operation during the charging and discharging phases. The present study reviews various techniques utilized for integrating the PCM in solar water heating systems and the utilized methods for enhancing the heat transfer characteristics of the PCM through the usage of extended surfaces and high conductive additives.

基于复合相变材料的梯级组合蓄热特性研究

针对潜热蓄热装置内部相变材料（PCM）导热系数偏小，蓄热速率过低的问题，对基于复合相变材料的两级串联式梯级蓄热装置的相变过程进行了数值研究。通过对不同热物性PCM工况的对比与分析，得到了装置在不同工况下的蓄热特性。结果表明，存在最佳的热扩散系数，使固定熔点的PCM实现“均匀等速相变”。同时，增大PCM的热扩散系数可以有效降低加热面温度，但随着热扩散系数的增大，加热面温度降低幅度减小。通过分析Stefan数，得到了装置最佳的参数，使工况蓄热效果最佳。最后，通过Stefan数为2.88时的实验工况验证了相关规律的正确性。

为研究行走弹性对工程车辆行走换挡过程的影响，建立了考虑驱动轮轮胎变形引起的车辆行走弹性影响的整车行走动力学模型，该模型适用于换挡过程分析。计算与分析了典型装载机动力换挡过程，将考虑或不考虑行走弹性时计算得到的整车加速度和瞬时冲击度的变化过程分别进行了对比，利用实车试验对单一换挡过程进行了验证；并将考虑行走弹性时升挡过程中变速箱输入输出转速变化过程、离合器滑摩功率特性的计算结果与不考虑行走弹性时换挡过程的计算结果进行了对比。研究结果表明：与不考虑行走弹性的情况相比，行走弹性变形使得换挡过程中整车加速度的变化更加平缓；换入挡离合器有两次滑摩过程，冲击度更小，换挡时间更长；离合器接合时的冲击度与其接入时间有关；滑摩功更小。

Corrosion behaviour of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Ag alloy components with different sizes after cooling

The corrosion behaviour of Mg-6Gd-3Y-1Zn-0.3Ag (wt.%) alloy components with different sizes after cooling was investigated. The alloys in the small components (SC) cooled fast, which were composed of α-Mg matrix and coarse long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases. The alloys in the large components (LC) cooled slowly, and there were thin lamellar LPSO phases precipitating inside the grains, except for α-Mg matrix and coarse LPSO phases. The hydrogen evolution test revealed that the corrosion rate of LC sample was higher than that of SC sample. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test showed that the surface film on LC alloys provided worse protection. The corrosion morphologies indicated that the precipitation of the thin lamellar LPSO phases in LC sample caused severe micro-galvanic corrosion, which accelerated the rupture of the surface film.     

Crystal structure,polarization properties and reverse nonlinearity of solid solutions of the KNN-PZT system in a wide range of external influences

Experimental research of the crystal structure, polarization properties, and reverse nonlinearity of ceramic solid solutions of the (1-x) (Na_0·5K_0.5)NbO₃-xPb(Ti_0·5Zr_0.5)O₃ (KNN-PZT) quasi-binary system with 0.0 = x ≤ 1.0 in a wide range of external influences (temperatures, strength of dc/ac fields) has been done. Based on the X-ray structural data, an x-T diagram of the system has been constructed, and correlations of the behavior of the macroproperties of solid solutions with the features of their phase states with the temperature change have been established. It has been concluded that it is advisable to use the proposed compositions when designing microelectronic devices operating in various extreme conditions.

Characterization of the structure and properties of processed alumina-graphene and alumina-zirconia composites

The onset of hybrid alumina-based composites, which combines two or more nano-particles within the alumina matrix has already shown promising improvements in the matrix material. However, variations in mechanical properties including the optimum compositions that give improved properties faced with the development of alumina-based composites require further studies to understand the underlying mechanisms and synergistic effects of the nano-particle additions on the alumina matrix. In the current study, the structure and properties of Al?O?-graphene (0.5 wt%) and Al?O?–ZrO? (4 wt% and 10 wt%) composites fabricated via hot-pressing was studied as a baseline for multiple combinations. Even though the addition of 10 wt%ZrO? resulted in a 23% reduction in the grain size of the alumina matrix, the 4 wt%ZrO? addition resulted in a 14% increase in grain size as compared to the parent alumina matrix. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that there was approximately 85% monoclinic (m-ZrO₂) vs. 15% tetragonal (t-ZrO₂) crystal structures in the A4ZrO? sample whilst the A₁₀ZrO? had approximately 93% m-ZrO₂ vs. 7% t-ZrO₂. The high-volume fraction of the monoclinic crystal structures in the A₁₀ZrO? accounts for the induced microcracks in the sample since the transition from the ductile-tetragonal to brittle-monoclinic is associated with the exertion of compressive stresses on the alumina matrix by the associated elastic volume expansion of m-ZrO₂. Also, the addition of 0.5 wt%graphene resulted in about 37% reduction in the grain size of the alumina matrix, and approximately 10% increase in hardness as a result of the distribution of graphene along the grain boundaries of the parent alumina matrix, which restricts grain coalescence and growth during processing. Furthermore, an increase up to 115% and 164% were observed in the fracture toughness (K_IC) with the inclusion of 0.5 wt%graphene and 10 wt%ZrO? respectively, which was primarily ascribed to the fine-grained microstructures and toughening mechanisms of the intergranular graphene and ZrO? particles.     

Novel non-stoichiometric (Ba0.91Ca0.09)x(Zr0.18Ti0.82)O3 ferroelectric ceramics with improved diffuse phase transition and dielectric tunable performance

Dielectric tunable properties in ferroelectric ceramics have been optimized by a variety of approaches, e.g., isovalent/aliovalent substitution, system composite et al., while the study of non-stoichiometric regulation on the performance of BCZT ceramics was rarely concerned. Herein, a series of novel non-stoichiometric (Ba_0·91Ca_0.09)_x (Zr_0·18Ti_0.82)O₃ (BCZTx) ceramic specimens were successfully prepared via solid-state reaction. The microstructures of BCZTx ceramics are simultaneously investigated through XRD and SEM. The diffuse phase transition (DPT) behaviour of BCZTx ceramics are studied by the Lorentz-type empirical formula. The significant enhancement of DPT behaviour is observed at x = 1.03, which probably due to the coaction of the generation of partial Schottky defects and prominent reduction of grain size. Furthermore, a high tunability (k) 87.80%, low dielectric loss (tan δ) 0.141%, and a remarkably enhanced FOM of 623 are achieved in x = 0.99 at a low DC bias electric fields (BEFs) of 7.28 kV/cm and room temperature (RT), which is superior to that of the stoichiometric BCZT ceramics and other available reported BT-based ceramics systems in term of the dielectric tunable properties. Meanwhile, it shows that the temperature dependent CQF value of x = 0.99 remained advantageous around the RT. These findings suggested that non-stoichiometric BCZTx ceramics with x = 0.99 are significantly competitive in the applications of dielectric tunable devices at RT. The non-stoichiometric regulation is an effective approach in improving the dielectric tunability properties of BCZT ceramics.
