Microstructure and mechanical properties of an Al–TiC metal matrix composite obtained by reactive synthesis

A metal matrix composite has been obtained by a novel synthesis route, reacting Al₃Ti and graphite at 1000 °C for about 1 min after ball-milling and compaction. The resulting composite is made of an aluminium matrix reinforced by nanometer sized TiC particles (average diameter 70 nm). The average TiC/Al ratio is 34.6 wt.% (22.3 vol.%). The microstructure consists of an intimate mixture of two domains, an unreinforced domain made of the Al solid solution with a low TiC reinforcement content, and a reinforced domain. This composite exhibits uncommon mechanical properties with regard to previous micrometer sized Al–TiC composites and to its high reinforcement volume fraction, with a Young’s modulus of ∼110 GPa, an ultimate tensile strength of about 500 MPa and a maximum elongation of 6%.     

A first-principles investigation on mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides under pressure

The titanium carbides are potential candidates to achieve both high hardness and refractory property. We carried out a structural search for titanium carbides at three pressures of 0 GPa, 30 GPa and 50 GPa. A phase diagram of the Ti-C system at 0 K was obtained by elucidating formation enthalpies as a function of compositions, and their mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides were investigated systematically. We also discussed the relation of titanium concentration to the both mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides. It has been found that the average valence electron density and tractility improved at higher concentrations of titanium, while the degree of covalent bonding directionality decreased. To this effect, the hardness of titanium carbide decreases as the content of titanium increases. Our results indicated that the titanium content significantly affected the metallic properties of the Ti-C system.     

Stability and thermophysical properties of fly ash nanofluid for heat transfer applications

Improving the performance of heat transfer fluids is altogether significant. The best approach for improving the thermal conductivity is the addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid. In the present study, specific heat, dynamic viscosity, and thermal conductivity of water-based Indian coal fly ash stable nanofluid for 0.1% to 0.5% volume concentration in the temperature range of 30 to 60°C has been investigated. To evaluate an average particle diameter of 11.5 nm, the fly ash nanoparticles were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Using zeta potential, the stability of nanofluid in the presence of surfactant Triton X-100 was tested. Thermal conductivity and viscosity of fly ash nanofluid increased, while specific heat decreased as volume concentration increased. The effect of temperature on the fly ash nanofluid was directly proportional to its thermal conductivity and specific heat and inversely proportional to viscosity.

咪唑啉型缓蚀剂的合成及其缓蚀性能研究

以棕榈酸、二乙烯三胺为原料合成咪唑啉，并对其进行水溶性改性制备了咪唑啉型缓蚀剂YG-1，与助剂硫脲复配得到复配缓蚀体系YG-2。应用静态挂片失重法、电化学法评价了该复配缓蚀体系YG-2的缓蚀性能，研究了缓蚀机理，并用扫描电镜分析了腐蚀前后及加入复配缓蚀体系YG-2后A3钢的表面形貌。研究结果表明，在30℃下加入复配缓蚀体系YG-2能有效地抑制饱和CO2的高矿化度盐水对A3钢的腐蚀，其使用浓度为20mg／L时，缓蚀率达到98．5％，腐蚀速率仅为0．009mm／a，远好于我国石油天然气行业标准规定的指标。     

低孔隙度低渗透率储层孔隙压力流体评价方法

针对鄂尔多斯盆地靖边气田上古生界地层特点,建立了一套全新的适合该地层的孔隙压力评价技术.孔隙压力流体评价方法所涉及到的孔覆比和裂缝延伸梯度等参数均为首次定义.该方法数据来源于常规测井的三孔隙度测井及相关测井曲线,利用重点井的地层孔隙压力实验测试结果,结合阵列声波测井,推出了利用地层孔隙压力参数评价储层的新方法.综合应用孔覆比、裂缝延伸梯度和地层孔隙压力梯度等3个重要的孔隙压力参数进行地层评价,可明显提高测井解释的符合率.在识别储层含流体性质和确定非储层岩性方面给出了孔隙压力参数具体判识数值.储层含可动流体时,孔覆比变化范围0.40～0.43,裂缝延伸梯度0.027～0.034,地层孔隙压力梯度0.09～0.110.在结合其它解释方法的基础上,孔隙压力参数的流体分析解释方法应用效果更佳.选取了靖边气田18口井的上古生界地层进行了实例效果评价,解释结果与地质实际吻合良好,使其解释符合率大幅度上升,该方法可推广到其他类似低孔隙度低渗透率地层.     

储层应力敏感性影响因素研究

全面分析储层应力敏感性产生的机理认为，外部因素的改变会引起储层产生应力敏感性．而储层岩石物性等内部因素对应力敏感性的强弱起决定性作用。室内岩心应力敏感性评价时．仪器与设备的精度、加载与卸载方式、实验用流体类型以及各种人为因素等都会对评价结果产生影响，其中岩心密封套在高压、高温条件下的密闭性会对实验结果产生较大影响。所以储层应力敏感性不应该从孔隙度和渗透率的高低进行简单评价，中、高渗储层和低渗储层在生产过程也都可能表现出较强的应力敏感性现象。     

Effects of genotype and treatment on the antioxidant activity of sweet potato in Taiwan

Six genotypes of sweet potato commercially available in Taiwan, including TNG57, TNG66, TNG68, TYY1, RP and WP, were used as samples in this study of the effects of steaming and kneading with pre-steaming treatments on the antioxidant components and antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts. Steam treatment increased the total phenols contents of all genotypes (2–13 times), flavonoids content of RP (1.3 times) and anthocyanins contents of RP and WP (5–6 times). Steam treatment also increased the reducing power and scavenging DPPH radical effect of sweet potato flours. For the methanolic extracts of steamed and kneaded flours, reducing powers were 0.02–1.70 at 5.0 mg ml⁻¹ and the scavenging effects on DPPH radicals were 19–92% at 2.5 mg ml⁻¹. Both showed the order of RP > WP > TYY1 and TNG66 > TNG57 and TNG68. However, the chelating effect of the six genotypes at 1.0 mg ml⁻¹ ranged from 50% to 73%. Contents of total phenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins of sweet potato flours were significantly positively correlated with the reducing power and scavenging DPPH radical effects. After steaming and kneading treatments, RP showed the highest increase in the contents of total phenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins among the six genotypes studied.
