Numerical investigation of the effects of H2/CO/syngas additions on laminar premixed combustion characteristics of NH3/air flame

Co-firing NH₃ with H₂/CO/syngas (SYN) is a promising method to overcome the low reactivity of NH₃/air flame. Hence, this study aims to systematically investigate the laminar premixed combustion characteristics of NH₃/air flame with various H₂/CO/SYN addition loadings (0–40%) using chemical kinetics simulation. The numerical results were obtained based on the Han mechanism which can provide accurate predictions of laminar burning velocities. Results showed that H₂ has the greatest effects on increasing laminar burning velocities and net heat release rates of NH₃/air flame, followed by SYN and CO. CO has the most significant effects on improving NH₃/air adiabatic flame temperatures. The H₂/CO/SYN additions can accelerate NH₃ decomposition rates and promote the generation of H and NH₂ radicals. Furthermore, there is an evident positive linear correlation between the laminar burning velocities and the peak mole fraction of H + NH₂ radicals. The reaction NH₂ + NH <=> N₂H₂ + H and NH₂ + NO <=> NNH + OH have remarkable positive effects on NH₃ combustion. The mole fraction of OH × NH₂ radicals positively affects the net heat release rates. Finally, it was discovered that H radicals play an important role in the generation of NO. The H₂/CO/SYN additions can reduce the hydrodynamic and diffusional-thermal instabilities of NH₃/air flame. The NH₃ reaction pathways for NH₃–H₂/CO/SYN-air flames can be categorized mainly into NH₃–NH₂–NH–N–N₂, NH₃–NH₂–HNO–NO(?N₂O)–N₂ and NH₃–NH₂(?N₂H₂)–NNH–N₂. CO has the greatest influence on the proportions of three NH₃ reaction routes.     

Investigation on hydrogen-fueled combustion characteristics and thermal performance in a micro heat-recirculation combustor inserted with block

Numerical investigation on the premixed H₂/air combustion in a micro heat-recirculation combustor inserted with/without block is conducted. Effects of block setting, heat-recirculation, and flow rate on combustion characteristics and thermal performance are depicted and analyzed. The results demonstrate that the block enhances the flame stability and preheating effect, which also reduces the heat loss via exhaust gas, while it shortens reactants residence time. The combustor setting with a transverse block gains a better thermal performance than that inserted with a longitudinal block. With the increase of transverse block height, the high-temperature zone is broadened and radiation is improved. However, the block with a height of 10 mm separates the fluid field and weakens the effects of heat recirculation, leading to a lower outer wall temperature. Furthermore, the appropriate block insertion method and height contribute to the significant improvement of heat transfer, radiant efficiency and further optimization of micro power generator.     

Charging strategy through analysis of charging influence factors of ultra-light hydrogen storage with polyethylene terephthalate liner

A lightweight type 4 vessel with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) liner is analyzed. The derived heat transfer coefficients between the gas and wall are applied, and a parametric study is performed. An optimized charging strategy is also developed. Firstly, when the injected hydrogen temperature decreases, the charging time increases, and the charged gas temperature decreases. Secondly, the higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the charging time, and the higher the charged gas temperature. Thirdly, the larger the mass flow rate, the shorter the charging time, and the higher charged gas temperature. Fourthly, as the initial pressure inside the vessel increases, the charging time shortens, and the charged gas temperature decreases. Fifthly, using the formulated charging strategy, during summer, the charged gas temperature decreases by approximately 9 °C. In winter, the charging time is reduced by approximately 58 s. The results provide important information of temperature control for ensuring vessel safety.     

Effect of partial substitution of wheat flour with resistant starch on physicochemical,sensorial and nutritional properties of breadsticks

This study determined the physicochemical, sensorial and nutritional properties of breadsticks to which a resistant starch (RS)-rich ingredient was incorporated by partial substitution, that is, 40%–70%, of hard wheat flour in the control recipe. Wheat flour substitution at the levels exceeding 50% lightened the colour while decreasing the moisture content and hardness of breadsticks, which was explainable by the microstructure. Changes in properties of breadsticks also affected the suitability of its sensory attributes, particularly colour and texture. Breadsticks, of which half of wheat flour was substituted, contained less protein and calories but higher carbohydrate than the control formula. Such flour substitution increased RS content closed to its effective dose of 15 g in a 45-g serving, which led to approximately 15% reduction in in vitro glycaemic index. Therefore, incorporating effective dose of RS in breadsticks could be performed, without causing substantial changes in product quality, by partial substitution of wheat flour.     

The protein properties of germinated naked barley with infrared and hot air-drying and its noodle-making potential

The naked barley was germinated and then carried out with hot air- or infrared drying to explore the physicochemical and functional properties of protein isolated from barley. Moreover, the relationship between protein and the noodles made from wheat and germinated barley flour was evaluated. It was found that germination affected the protein properties, and the protein properties were correlated with the properties of noodles. The content of β-sheet in protein was first increased and then decreased with germination time increased, and the protein had larger emulsification and foaming properties. Besides, the protein isolated from hot air-dried germinated barley had higher gelatinisation enthalpy and secondary structure content. Furthermore, the wheat and germinated barley mixed noodles had increased elasticity and cohesiveness and reduced viscosity and water absorption. The hardness of noodles showed was positively correlated with water absorption capacity, and the extensibility of cooked noodles was positively correlated with the foaming capacity of proteins.

Human–Cyber–Physical Systems (HCPSs) in the Context of New-Generation Intelligent Manufacturing

An intelligent manufacturing system is a composite intelligent system comprising humans, cyber systems, and physical systems with the aim of achieving specific manufacturing goals at an optimized level. This kind of intelligent system is called a human–cyber–physical system (HCPS). In terms of technology, HCPSs can both reveal technological principles and form the technological architecture for intelligent manufacturing. It can be concluded that the essence of intelligent manufacturing is to design, construct, and apply HCPSs in various cases and at different levels. With advances in information technology, intelligent manufacturing has passed through the stages of digital manufacturing and digital-networked manufacturing, and is evolving toward new-generation intelligent manufacturing (NGIM). NGIM is characterized by the in-depth integration of new-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technology (i.e., enabling technology) with advanced manufacturing technology (i.e., root technology); it is the core driving force of the new industrial revolution. In this study, the evolutionary footprint of intelligent manufacturing is reviewed from the perspective of HCPSs, and the implications, characteristics, technical frame, and key technologies of HCPSs for NGIM are then discussed in depth. Finally, an outlook of the major challenges of HCPSs for NGIM is proposed.     

Association between patient psychosocial characteristics and receipt of in‐center nocturnal hemodialysis among prevalent dialysis patients

Introduction: Compared to traditional in‐center hemodialysis (HD), in‐center nocturnal dialysis (INHD) is characterized by longer sessions and nighttime administration, which may lead to better outcomes for some patients. Given the importance of patient choice in the decision to initiate INHD, we explored associations between patients’ psychosocial characteristics and their receipt of INHD. Methods: Among hemodialysis patients at a medium‐sized dialysis organization, we identified INHD patients as those for whom ≥80% of dialysis sessions were INHD sessions—starting at 6:30 pm or later and lasting ≥5 hours—over the 3 months (≥20 sessions total) after their first INHD session. We extracted dialysis session data from electronic medical records and psychosocial data from social worker assessments. We tested associations of patients’ psychosocial characteristics—as well as demographic and clinical characteristics—with INHD receipt among all hemodialysis patients (INHD and HD) in bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression models. Findings: Among 759 patients with complete data, we identified 47 (6.2%) as INHD patients. On average, these patients were more likely than HD patients to be employed (full‐time 10.6% vs. 5.2%; part‐time 17.0% vs. 4.2%; P < 0.001), and they were significantly less likely to require ambulatory assistance (14.9% vs. 39.6%, P < 0.001). In multivariable regressions, we found that part‐time employment (versus being unemployed) was associated with a 7.1 percentage‐point higher likelihood of being an INHD patient (P = 0.01), and the negative association with ambulatory assistance needs approached statistical significance (P = 0.056). No other psychosocial factors included in this main regression analysis were statistically significantly associated with INHD patient status. Discussion: Researchers comparing the outcomes of patients undergoing INHD versus other treatment modalities will need to account for differences in employment status—and other factors like requiring ambulatory assistance and age which may predict the ability to work—between INHD users and comparison patients to avoid bias in estimates.
