On the thermal conductivity of bimodal SiC/A356 composites fabricated via powder metallurgy route

The present study investigates the thermal conductivity of bimodal SiC particulate distribution in aluminum matrix composites fabricated via powder metallurgy route. The effects of the SiC_p reinforcement size distribution and processing parameters such as sintering time and temperature on the thermal conductivity have been examined. The Box–Behnken experimental array was employed to identify the effects of selected variables on the thermal conductivity of the composite. A reasonable augmentation in the thermal conductivity was observed with an increase in sintering time and %volume fraction of fine SiC particulates. It has been demonstrated that the matrix doped with fine SiC particulates (37?µm) occupied interstitial positions and formed continuous SiC–matrix network resulting in minimizing the micropores that contributed for good thermal conductivity, that is, 235?W/mK. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to evaluate the microstructure architecture and interfacial phase formation.     

库水位变动下庄屋滑坡变形与稳定性分析

库水位变动是三峡库区滑坡等地质灾害频发的重要原因之一。为研究库水位变动对库岸涉水滑坡变形和稳定性的影响,以庄屋滑坡为例,结合GPS位移监测数据和数值模拟分析,探讨了该滑坡在库水升降过程中变形和稳定性的响应规律。结果表明,庄屋滑坡受库水影响滑坡后缘变形大于前缘,为推移式滑坡。水位变动过程中,滑坡渗流和稳定性变化具有动水压力型滑坡特点,即在水位上升时滑体内地下水浸润线呈内凹趋势,水位下降时滑体内地下水浸润线呈外凸趋势,且具有一定的滞后性;库水位上升时滑坡稳定性系数增大,水位下降时减小;当库水位保持在恒定水位时,稳定性系数也逐渐趋于稳定。

水利工程的特殊性,决定了其在安全管理构建中更加注重全过程管理机制的构建,以及危险源下的精准安全管控。在传统安全管理模式之下,水利工程安全管理盲点多、效率低,不利于全过程安全管理的高效实施。文章立足水利工程的危险辨识,分析了水利工程危险源全过程安全管理中的问题,并在此基础之上,从强化危险源精准辨识、构建危险源动态管理机制、优化危险源评价工作、加快危险源信息库建设等方面,具体论述了危险源下水利工程全过程安全管理措施。     

水射流表面改性对国产Zirlo锆合金包壳管加速腐蚀氧化膜形貌的影响

为进一步提高国产锆合金包壳管性能,提高反应堆安全性,对国产Zirlo锆合金进行水射流冲击强化,研究在高温高压水腐蚀条件下不同冲击压力对样品表面氧化膜的影响,并与未冲击样品进行对比。结果表明,样品表面在不同压力的冲击下耐蚀性差异较大,当冲击压力达到40 MPa时样品表面氧化膜状态较好,相比于未冲击样品氧化膜厚度减少4.3%,在10 MPa和20 MPa冲击下则出现腐蚀加速情况。     

基于GsMAP的尼洋河流域降水时空分布特征研究

鉴于尼洋河地区实测降雨资料缺乏,卫星降雨产品具有显著优势,基于GsMAP降雨产品数据和地面观测站点数据,利用降雨量年内分配特征的δ方法建立卫星降雨校正公式,分析流域降雨量的时空分布特征。结果表明,实测站点月降雨量校正结果较好,相关系数达0.954,年尺度的站点降雨相关系数为0.54,降雨量空间分布呈现出自西向东递增的特点。卫星降雨观测在西部地区存在低估,东部地区有一定程度的高估,在降雨梯度分布上,流域在3500~4000m高程段降雨量呈上升趋势,其他高程段均为显著下降,整体变化率为-104mm/km。流域的年均面平均降雨量为699mm,降雨多集中于夏季,且有逐年增加趋势。     

下荆江熊家洲至城陵矶弯曲型河段河床调整规律

三峡水库运用后, 坝下游水沙过程发生了较大调整, 对下荆江熊家洲至城陵矶弯曲型河段河床冲淤演变造成较大影响, 从而对本河段河势稳定、防洪、航运等可能造成不利的影响, 基于此, 根据最新实测资料分析水沙条件变 化及其对本河段河床调整规律的影响。研究成果显示: 三峡水库运用后, 水流含沙量大幅减小, 且水库调蓄导致熊 家洲至城陵矶河段在枯水期径流量明显增加, 使弯道主流长期偏向于凸岸, 引起凸岸边滩大幅冲刷, 这是近期该河段发生“撇弯切滩”的主要原因之一; 随着三峡上游干支流水库群陆续建成运用, 坝下游河道将会长期遭受清水冲 刷, 河床仍将呈单向冲刷下切的趋势, 弯顶段主流平面摆动仍将较大, 弯道顶冲点也将相应下移, 导致主流贴岸距离 进一步下延, 引起河道岸线的崩退, 未来一段时期内典型弯曲型河道的局部河势变化仍将明显。     

Effects of friction-stir processing with water cooling on the properties of an Al–Zn–Mg–Cu Alloy

An Al–Zn–Mg–Cu (Al-7B04) aluminium alloy in two conditions, i.e. with an artificial aging (7B04-AA) temper and with an annealing (7B04-O) temper, was friction-stir processed using water cooling, and the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the stir zone (SZ) were investigated. Compared with the samples subjected to air cooling, the SZs of water-cooled samples were strengthened, and the degree of strengthening depended on the initial base metal temper. For friction-stir-processed material after an 7B04-O temper, the efficiency of strengthening was relatively high due not only to the refinement of grains and strengthening precipitates but also due to the high solution level in the SZ. In contrast, the slight strengthening of friction-stir-processed 7B04-AA resulted solely from grain refinement.     

Oxygenated VOCs,aqueous chemistry,and potential impacts on residential indoor air composition

Dampness affects a substantial percentage of homes and is associated with increased risk of respiratory ailments; yet, the effects of dampness on indoor chemistry are largely unknown. We hypothesize that the presence of water‐soluble gases and their aqueous processing alters the chemical composition of indoor air and thereby affects inhalation and dermal exposures in damp homes. Herein, we use the existing literature and new measurements to examine the plausibility of this hypothesis, summarize existing evidence, and identify key knowledge gaps. While measurements of indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are abundant, measurements of water‐soluble organic gases (WSOGs) are not. We found that concentrations of total WSOGs were, on average, 15 times higher inside homes than immediately outside (N = 13). We provide insights into WSOG compounds likely to be present indoors using peer‐reviewed literature and insights from atmospheric chemistry. Finally, we discuss types of aqueous chemistry that may occur on indoor surfaces and speculate how this chemistry could affect indoor exposures. Liquid water quantities, identities of water‐soluble compounds, the dominant chemistry, and fate of aqueous products are poorly understood. These limitations hamper our ability to determine the effects of aqueous indoor chemistry on dermal and inhalation exposures in damp homes.     

基于介形类生态特征评价湖南某铀矿山地表水放射性环境

湖南某铀矿为我国一重要铀资源生产基地，长年的矿冶活动使该铀矿冶地域生态环境不可避免地遭到了一定程度破坏。本文以该铀矿冶地域介形类为研究对象，分析其分布与生态特征，并利用该生物评价本矿冶地域地表水放射性污染状况。结果表明，Cypridopsis vidua在溪流与河流中均有分布，Helerocypris incongruens仅发现于河流，两者丰度均不高。利用该两种介形类丰度及总丰度变化可指示水体铀浓度的变化，丰度越小，铀含量越大，反之亦然。Shannon-Wiener物种多样性指数与水体铀浓度呈明显负相关，表明也可利用介形类生物指数指示水体铀浓度。该生物指数明显偏低，说明该铀矿冶地域地表水环境质量需要改善，放射性污染应引起足够重视。
