Simulation of the transient behavior of tubular solid oxide electrolyzer cells under fast load variations

Solid oxide electrolyzer cells pose a promising technology for the production of hydrogen gained from renewables, such as wind and PV. Due to the fluctuating nature of these sources, the transient behavior of SOECs under various load cases plays a crucial role in terms of their long-time stability, degradation behavior, conversion efficiency and application. This study presents a dynamic, 2D-FEM model of a single tubular SOEC. The transient operational behavior of the cell under fast load variations and different flow configurations is assessed based on the conducted simulations.     

Anhydride‐Assisted Spontaneous Room Temperature Sintering of Printed Bioresorbable Electronics

Bioresorbable electronic devices are promising replacements for conventional build‐to‐last electronics in implantable biomedical systems and consumer electronics. However, bioresorbable devices are typically achieved by complex complementary metal oxide semiconductor fabrication processes that minimize exposure to humidity. Emerging printable techniques for bioresorbable electronics demand further improvement in electrical conductivity and mechanical robustness. This paper presents a room‐temperature spontaneous sintering method of bioresorbable inks that contain zinc nanoparticles and anhydride. The entire process can be conducted in atmosphere environment under 90% humidity within 300 min. It has minimum requirement for external heating and special ambient conditions, allowing humidity to trigger the surface chemistry of zinc nanoparticles and spontaneous welding between neighboring nanoparticles. The resulting bioresorbable patterns are highly conductive (σ = 72 400 S m^?1) and mechanically robust (>1500 bending cycles) to enable practical applications. A radio circuit achieved through the above method can operate stably over 14 days in air and disappear in water for less than 30 min. The spontaneous room‐temperature sintering represents a rapid and energy‐efficient approach to achieve high‐performance bioresorbable electronics with improved mechanical robustness and electrical performance, leading to broader impacts in the areas of healthcare, information security, and consumer electronics.

抗振条-传热管大间隙多跨直管束流致振动试验研究

针对抗振条-传热管大间隙的4跨传热管直管束开展了流致振动试验研究。传热管束转角正三角形排列，3处抗振条将直管束分为4跨，中间其中1跨的局部区域受到横向流体的冲刷。试验测试获得了管间流速在3.3～14.7 m/s区间内传热管振动位移和振动频率响应特性。结果表明，随着管间流速逐渐增大，传热管在来流方向和升力方向的振动频率依次增大，传热管的振动模态从抗振条1处有效支撑、2处未有效支撑的状态，转换为3处抗振条均有效支撑的状态。试验观测到传热管流弹失稳，其临界流速为14.5 m/s，与5种经验关系式预测结果的对比表明，Chen关系式能较好地预测流弹失稳的发生，预测结果较保守，与试验值间的相对偏差为21.4%。     

煤矿井下探测中影响不含水断层视电阻率变化的单一主控因素分析

选取晋城矿区典型3号无烟煤试样，在实验室进行单轴加载条件下的电阻率测试实验，并开展矿井瞬变电磁法探测不含水断层现场试验，研究了不含水断层的视电阻率变化特征。结果表明:煤样加载全过程，经过压密阶段、弹性变形阶段、塑性变形阶段、峰值后破裂阶段、残余变形阶段5个阶段；煤样应力应变曲线表现为由低到高再到低的特征，煤样电阻率曲线表现为由高到低再到高的特征；加载过程中，压密阶段、弹性变形阶段应力越大电阻率越小，应力为影响电阻率变化的主控因素；塑性变形阶段，电阻率先减小后增大，应力和裂隙共同影响电阻率变化，由应力为主要因素逐渐转变到裂隙为主要因素；峰值后破裂阶段和残余变形阶段电阻率急速增大，裂隙为影响电阻率变化的主控因素；通过瞬变电磁法探测不含水断层试验，发现不含水断层导致视电阻率明显升高，表明裂隙为影响断层视电阻率单一变化的主要因素。     

一种低信噪比环境下的语音端点检测算法

端点检测技术是语音信号处理的关键技术之一，为提高低信噪比环境下端点检测的准确率和稳健性，提出了一种非平稳噪声抑制和调制域谱减结合功率归一化倒谱距离的端点检测算法。该算法首先通过抑制非平稳噪声再采用调制域谱减消除残余噪声来提升信噪比，减少语音失真。然后再提取每帧信号的功率归一化倒谱系数，计算每帧信号与背景噪声的功率归一化倒谱距离。最后将该倒谱距离作为检测参数，采用双门限判决方法进行端点检测。实验结果表明，该端点检测算法对语音帧和噪声帧具有较好的区分性。此外，在低信噪比环境下，所提出的算法对于不同类型的噪声都具有较好的稳健性。     

Transient parametric pilot study on thermosyphon heat transport device: A computational fluid dynamics hypothesis and experimental exploration

This study aims to examine the practicality of a novel passive heat transport system “thermosyphon heat transport device” (THTD). It is a fluid-filled unit, with both source and sink amalgamated within it. A vertical tube-in-tube design has been incorporated, consisting of heat source, adiabatic height, and sink. To showcase the performance, a transient numerical analysis is performed using ANSYS Fluent, which is compared with the simple closed thermosiphon (SCT) for heat transport capability (1 kW) and different adiabatic heights (0.25, 1, and 1.5 m). Also, the influence of axial conduction is examined. The proposed Therminol VP1-based THTD has better heat transport capability over SCT due to a uniform flow pattern. Although the time response diminishes with adiabatic height, the novelty is justified as the heat gained by THTD (adiabatic height: 1.5 m) is 1.5 times more than SCT. Furthermore, the THTD performance is experimentally analyzed by varying the coolant flow rate (0.01, 0.02, and 0.03 kg/s), heat load (100−600 W), and transport distance (0.25 and 0.75 m), which yielded 80%−90% energy efficiency. As the THTD is crucial for a conceptual solar indoor cooker, the response under transient heating/cooling conditions is also investigated, which depicted 300 s for transient heating and 10−50 s for transient cooling.     

Experimental investigation of unconfined spherical and cylindrical flame propagation in hydrogen-air mixtures

This paper presents results of experimental investigations on spherical and cylindrical flame propagation in pre-mixed H₂/air-mixtures in unconfined and semi-confined geometries. The experiments were performed in a facility consisting of two transparent solid walls with 1 m² area and four weak side walls made from thin plastic film. The gap size between the solid walls was varied stepwise from thin layer geometry (6 mm) to cube geometry (1 m). A wide range of H₂/air-mixtures with volumetric hydrogen concentrations from 10% to 45% H₂ was ignited between the transparent solid walls. The propagating flame front and its structure was observed with a large scale high speed shadow system. Results of spherical and cylindrical flame propagation up to a radius of 0.5 m were analyzed. The presented spherical burning velocity model is used to discuss the self-acceleration phenomena in unconfined and unobstructed pre-mixed H₂/air flames.
