目的探究硅烷偶联剂对缸套表面微坑复合PTFE微粒的减摩和缓释性能的影响。方法利用激光刻蚀机在缸套表面加工不同参数的微坑,并依据摩擦系数对表面微坑参数进行优化。选取最佳表面微坑参数,进行加工,并机械涂覆经硅烷偶联剂修饰的PTFE,制备复合润滑结构。采取往复式摩擦磨损试验机对复合润滑结构的减摩性能进行分析。利用SEM和EDS研究摩擦副的表面形貌和成分,采用三维共聚焦显微镜研究微坑内PTFE的释放情况。结果在热压复合方法下,直径为0.4 mm、深度为120μm的微坑复合PTFE具有最佳的减摩效果。硅烷偶联剂的加入会进一步改善摩擦副之间的减摩性能,其摩擦系数为0.1248。与未处理缸套试样、微坑处理缸套试样、热压复合PTFE缸套试样进行对比,其摩擦系数分别降低了24.3%、18.8%和11.2%。另外,硅烷偶联剂还可以减缓表面微坑内PTFE的释放,延长作用时效,与热压复合方法相比,微坑内PTFE颗粒的释放速率约降低96.3%。结论复合润滑结构能够改善摩擦副之间的摩擦状况,其减摩和缓释机理是固体自润滑材料、表面微坑和硅烷偶联剂协同作用的结果。     

方腔内耦合传热传质非对称流动数值模拟

对带有质热源的方腔内流体传热传质进行数值研究。针对不同Ra、Nc、Sr和Df，探究对称方腔内流体传热传质的分岔特性。结果表明：存在临界Ra_c使流体流动形态发生转变，当Ra<Ra_c时，流体流线、温度场和浓度场对称分布；当Ra>Ra_c时，流体发生偏斜。增大浮升力，流体更易发生分岔现象。增强Soret和Dufour效应可增强传热对称性并增大流体发生分岔的临界Rayleigh数。

Study on inhomogeneous cooling behavior of extruded profile with unequal and large thicknesses during quenching using thermo-mechanical coupling model

The interfacial heat transfer coefficient between hot profile surface and cooling water was determined by using inverse heat conduction model combined with end quenching experiment. Then, a Deform-3D thermo-mechanical coupling model for simulating the on-line water quenching of extruded profile with unequal and large thicknesses was developed. The temperature field, residual stress field and distortion of profile during quenching were investigated systematically. The results show that heat transfer coefficient increases as water flow rate increases. The peak heat transfer coefficient with higher water flow rates appears at lower interface temperatures. The temperature distribution across the cross-section of profile during quenching is severe nonuniform and the maximum temperature difference is 300 °C at quenching time of 3.49 s. The temperature difference through the thickness of different parts of profile first increases sharply to a maximum value, and then gradually decreases. The temperature gradient increases obviously with the increase of thickness of parts. After quenching, there exist large residual stresses on the inner side of joints of profile and the two ends of part with thickness of 10 mm. The profile presents a twisting-type distortion across the cross-section under non-uniform cooling and the maximum twisting angle during quenching is 2.78°.     

好氧发酵过程微界面传质耦合模拟分析

微生物好氧发酵过程是一个多相生化反应体系，空气中的氧在气液两相间的传质速率对生化发酵过程有重要影响。而气泡中氧的传递特性是气泡的形态、运动及体系温度、压力和物性综合影响的结果。通过建立两组分空气气泡上升及其氧传质耦合模型，进而采用数值模拟描述好氧发酵体系中微界面体系的强化效果。利用能量耗散理论评价制造微气泡体系的能耗，以获得高性价比的气泡形态和较高的氧利用率。计算结果表明，在预设的工况下，液面高度一定的反应器内，初始半径大于500 μm的气泡会在短时间内逸出体系，造成物料浪费；而气泡初始半径小于100 μm时，其停留时间、传质效率和氧利用率会显著提升。小气泡的生成需要较大的能耗，需要综合生产成本考虑。在不考虑其他因素影响的情况下，体系中的DO值如果维持在20%~30%，可以获得最大的氧气传质速率。     

Incentives and legal barriers for power-to-hydrogen pathways: An international snapshot

Rendering the energy system more sustainable can only be achieved through a combination of low-carbon energy production, energy efficiency, and coupling of energy sectors. In this context, Power-to-Hydrogen concepts for managing supply and demand, providing seasonal storage, and being the linking element between different sectors (electricity generation, gas grids, transport and industry), has attracted significant interest during the last decade. However, the deployment of technology is subject to legal barriers, which may differ from one region to another. On the contrary, there may be incentives to facilitate market introduction of a new technology.In this paper, an international network of experts under the umbrella of Task 38 of the International Energy Agency's Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Programme assesses the legal framework in ten countries regarding power-to-hydrogen applications. The most frequently considered pathway, from a legal standpoint, is using hydrogen for mobility applications. Only a few countries are implementing legal frameworks for diverse hydrogen applications.     

基于流固耦合的柱面气膜密封支撑结构性能研究

利用流固耦合分析方法,研究一种波箔结构柔性支撑柱面气膜密封,探讨气膜厚度、浮环与转子的偏心率以及柔性支撑结构的泊松比、弹性模量、波箔数量等参数对支撑结构等效应力及变形量的影响。结果表明:柔性支承结构满足柱面气膜密封的正常运作,不会造成因为气膜刚度过大而使得浮环与波箔发生破坏性变形,并且变形量远小于波箔高度;柔性支撑的等效应力和变形量随平均气膜厚度的增大而减小,随偏心率的增加而增大,随支撑材料泊松比的增大而增大;弹性模量的增加并不影响柔性支撑结构的等效应力,但是会使变形量减小;增加波箔数量,柔性支撑的等效应力略有减小,变形量显著减小。     

A hybrid material-point spheropolygon-element method for solid and granular material interaction

Capturing the interaction between objects that have an extreme difference in Young's modulus or geometrical scale is a highly challenging topic for numerical simulation. One of the fundamental questions is how to build an accurate multiscale method with optimal computational efficiency. In this work, we develop a material-point-spheropolygon discrete element method (MPM-SDEM). Our approach fully couples the material point method (MPM) and the spheropolygon discrete element method (SDEM) through the exchange of contact force information. It combines the advantage of MPM for accurately simulating elastoplastic continuum materials and the high efficiency of DEM for calculating the Newtonian dynamics of discrete near-rigid objects. The MPM-SDEM framework is demonstrated with an explicit time integration scheme. Its accuracy and efficiency are further analyzed against the analytical and experimental data. Results demonstrate this method could accurately capture the contact force and momentum exchange between materials while maintaining favorable computational stability and efficiency. Our framework exhibits great potential in the analysis of multi-scale, multi-physics phenomena.     

Improved oxidation resistance of expanded graphite through nano SiC coating

Expanded graphite with nano SiC and amorphous SiC_xO_y coating was successfully prepared through pyrolysing silane coupling agent (SCA), where the grafting of SCA dominated the final products. The results show that mainly amorphous SiC_xO_y coating covers expanded graphite at 1000 °C, regardless of the SCA concentration. In comparison, nano SiC coating can be synthesized at 1200 °C depending on the good dispersion of SCA (with a SCA concentration of 50 vol%). The formed SiC coating contributes to much higher peak oxidation temperature (812.1 °C) than 678.0 °C of the pure expanded graphite. Meanwhile, the oxidation activation energies of expanded graphite are remarkably improved from 149.15 kJ/mol to 176.16 kJ/mol (based on Kissinger method), attributing to the derived nano SiC and SiC_xO_y coating.     

Preparation and properties of fluorinated silicon two‐component polyurethane hydrophobic coatings

A polyurethane (PU) hydrophobic coating was prepared by the two‐component method, polycarbonate diol and isophorone diisocyanate becoming a two‐phase composition. The PU films with hydrophobic surface were prepared by establishing a rough structure on the surface of silica (SiO₂) modified with silane coupling agents (γ‐(2,3‐epoxypropoxy)propytrimethoxysilane (KH560) and (heptadecafluoro‐1,1,2,2‐tetradecyl)trimethoxysilane (FAS)). First, the surface of SiO₂ was covered by a layer of hydrophobic methyl and fluorocarbon (C–F) groups. Then, the SiO₂ and modified SiO₂ were obtained by the introduction of KH560 and FAS with the silanol reaction by ultrasonic stirring. The effect of SiO₂ and modified SiO₂ on the structure and hydrophobic properties of PU was investigated by a series of test instruments. The results showed that the introduction of SiO₂ and modified SiO₂ was beneficial for increasing the roughness of the PU coating surface; the roughness of FAS/SiO₂‐PU could reach up to 14.790 nm, four times better than pure PU. A hydrophobic modified PU coating with water contact angle 123° was fabricated by using the hydrophobic C–F group FAS as a low surface energy material and establishing a micro rough structure on the surface of PU. Moreover, PU modified with KH560 and FAS can reduce the glass transition temperature (T_g) of soft segments, resulting in improvement of micro‐phase separation. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
