Silicene Nanoribbons on an Insulating Thin Film

Silicene, a new 2D material has attracted intense research because of the ubiquitous use of silicon in modern technology. However, producing free-standing silicene has proved to be a huge challenge. Until now, silicene could be synthesized only on metal surfaces where it naturally forms strong interactions with the metal substrate that modify its electronic properties. Here, the authors report the first experimental evidence of silicene nanoribbons on an insulating NaCl thin film. This work represents a major breakthrough, for the study of the intrinsic properties of silicene, and by extension to other 2D materials that have so far only been grown on metal surfaces.     

Droplet dynamics in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell flow field design with 3D geometry

Water management is crucial to achieve both high-performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the dynamic behavior of droplets in PEMFC channel for water management. In this paper, we explore the kinetics of droplets in a 3D flow field by experimental and theoretical analysis. More specifically, we examine the following four perspectives: 1) the movement and falling of droplets, and their force and deformation, 2) the superiority of 3D flow field drainage, 3) the pressure and viscous force under different scenarios including varying droplet sizes and velocities, and 4) the expression describing the shape change of droplets. The results show that the 3D flow field has a greater driving force on droplets and that their deformation affects the discharge of liquid water. Throughout the study, we provide better understanding of droplet dynamic in PEMFC gas channels. It enables to optimize the design and working conditions of these channels.     

带扩张段构型超声速气流中横向射流数值模拟

针对带扩张段构型的发动机燃烧室,采用欧拉-拉格朗日仿真方法研究喷注方式、喷孔参数及隔离段燃烧室构型的改变对于射流雾化效果的影响,用以更好地指导发动机设计.结果表明,在保证发动机总体流量不变的条件下,喷孔孔径减小或者喷孔总数量减少使得液气动量通量比增大,有利于同时增大单孔射流穿透深度以及液滴展向宽度.贫燃工况下如当量比为0.7条件下,射流流量减小,混合效果可能变差.而在发动机结构设计方面,隔离段到燃烧室的过渡设计不宜采用大转角,15°转角是相对较为理想的设计方案.采用小角度突扩构型设计比渐扩构型更容易找到相对好的点火位置.     

Comparison of γ-aminobutyric acid accumulation capability in different mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varieties under heat and relative humidity treatment,and its correlation with endogenous amino acids and polyamines

In this study, the accumulation of GABA and its inherent factors across different varieties of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) in response to heat and relative humidity (HRH) were investigated. Results showed the average GABA content in mung bean varieties was increased 7.52 times following HRH treatment, and the black mung bean variety (A8) exhibited the highest GABA accumulation capability (1.76–84.57 mg per 100 g DW). From the perspective of GABA shunt metabolites, the free glutamic acid content of mung beans significantly decreased (P < 0.05) after HRH treatment and presented a significant correlation (P < 0.05) with GABA content. In polyamine degradation pathway, although the average levels of spermine and spermidine of mung bean varieties significantly decreased (P < 0.05) after HRH treatment, no significant correlation with GABA content was identified. Hence, the GABA accumulation was predominantly attributed to GABA shunt. Besides, free amino acids including glutamic acid, serine, ornithine, arginine and glycine in mung beans showed a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05) with GABA content and increment following HRH treatment, which suggested that mung beans enriched in these free amino acids might accumulate higher amounts of GABA after HRH treatment and be useful for industrial applications.

基于彩色图像处理的浮选尾煤灰分软测量研究

浮选尾煤灰分是浮选产品的一个重要指标。针对选煤厂浮选尾煤灰分多采用离线检测而无法实现在线准确测量，以及当前浮选软测量多采用单一的灰度图像从而导致软测量模型精度及适应性较差的问题，提出了一种基于彩色图像处理的浮选尾煤软测量方法，建立了基于最小二乘支持向量机(LSSVM)的浮选尾煤灰分软测量模型。模型以不同颜色空间的彩色特征、灰度均值以及浓度特征为输入变量，以尾煤灰分作为输出变量，采用粒子群优化算法对LSSVM模型参数进行优化。结果表明：所建立的尾煤灰分软测量模型可以较好地实现浮选尾矿灰分的在线预测，引入浮选尾矿图像的彩色特征可以提高尾煤图像分析的精度，预测精度达96.89%。研究成果在柳湾选煤厂现场应用，并取得了较好的尾矿灰分测量效果。     

Performance characteristics of an integrated power generation system combining gas turbine combined cycle,carbon capture and methanation

This study analyzes the performance of an integrated power generation system that combines a gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) with a methanation process. The methanation process uses hydrogen provided by a power-to-gas (PtG) process and carbon dioxide captured from the exhaust gas of the GTCC. The research aim was to maximize the GTCC performance through an effective integration between the GTCC and methanation. Two methods were proposed to utilize the steam generated from the methanation process. One was to supply it to the steam turbine bottoming cycle of the GTCC, and the other was to inject it into the GT combustor. Also investigated was the injection of oxygen generated in the PtG process into the gas turbine combustor. The largest improvements in the power and efficiency were predicted to be 19.3 % and 4.9 % through the combination of the steam supply to the bottoming cycle and the oxygen injection to the combustor.
