超临界机组发生FAC的因素及相互关系分析

为了减轻因流动加速腐蚀(FAC)引起的锅炉结垢加速、汽水系统管道厚度减小甚至爆裂现象，对超临界机组发生流动加速腐蚀的机理及其主要影响因素进行了研究，并讨论了管壁内表面粗糙度、蒸汽含汽率、pH值、溶氧量对FAC的影响，以及温度与pH值、温度与流速、pH值与溶解氧量、溶解氧量与氢电导率等影响因素之间的相互作用关系，最后结合实际电厂的运行数据验证了分析结果。研究表明：减小工质流速、管壁粗糙度和氢电导率，增大给水的pH值和溶解氧含量可以使FAC的腐蚀速率减小，超临界加氧处理时pH值应在8.9～9.2之间，溶解氧量范围为45～100μg/L,氢电导率的期望值在0.1μS/cm以下。由于各影响因素之间的作用十分复杂，本文只给出了大致范围和趋势，并未给出准确数据。

A new method for extrapolating the load-displacement response of drilled shaft foundations for interpretation of side capacity

In this study, the side capacity of drilled shaft foundations is estimated from partially-mobilized load–displacement field data using a new method in the extrapolation of load–displacement response. A dataset of 138 bi-directional load tests is used to evaluate the degree of mobilization of unit side resistance. A total of 612 unit side-resistance curves obtained from measured strain gauge recordings are utilized in this study. The proposed extrapolation approach is based on a new technique, the Double Tangent method, characterizing the extent of mobilization for each unit side-resistance curve. Roughly, 12% of the dataset exhibits a fully-mobilized load–displacement response, with the remainder exhibiting varying degrees of a partially-mobilized response. Fully-mobilized records are further characterized using the Double Tangent method over different ranges of mobilization, resulting in four regression models based on predominant soil types. Each model is assessed statistically, and a global regression model is found suitable to predict maximum unit side resistance. The global model is further validated using two independent load test datasets, comparing measured values of unit side resistance against predicted values. The model is then used to predict maximum unit side resistance for all partially-mobilized data within the dataset, and the results are compared to two extrapolation techniques currently used in practice. The corresponding resistance-displacement response is extrapolated using a proposed asymptotic curve-fitting function for side resistance, and an example extrapolation is illustrated to showcase how the proposed method can be used in engineering practice.     

Sequential alignment attention model for scene text recognition

Scene text recognition has been a hot research topic in computer vision due to its various applications. The state-of-the-art solutions usually depend on the attention-based encoder-decoder framework that learns the mapping between input images and output sequences in a purely data-driven way. Unfortunately, there often exists severe misalignment between feature areas and text labels in real-world scenarios. To address this problem, this paper proposes a sequential alignment attention model to enhance the alignment between input images and output character sequences. In this model, an attention gated recurrent unit (AGRU) is first devised to distinguish the text and background regions, and further extract the localized features focusing on sequential text regions. Furthermore, CTC guided decoding strategy is integrated into the popular attention-based decoder, which not only helps to boost the convergence of the training but also enhances the well-aligned sequence recognition. Extensive experiments on various benchmarks, including the IIIT5k, SVT, and ICDAR datasets, show that our method substantially outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.     

Benchmark value determination of energy efficiency indexes for coal-fired power units based on data mining methods

The operational optimisation of coal-fired power units is important for saving energy and reducing losses in the electric power industry. One of the key issues is how to determine the benchmark values of the energy efficiency indexes of the units. Therefore, a new framework for determining these benchmark values is proposed, based on data mining methods. First, the energy efficiency key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the net coal consumption rate (NCCR) were selected based on the domain knowledge. Second, the decision-making samples with minimal NCCR were acquired with the fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm, and the corresponding clustering centres were employed as the benchmark values. Finally, based on the support vector regression (SVR) algorithm, the target values of the NCCR were obtained with the KPIs as input, and the energy saving potential was evaluated by comparing the target values with the historical values of the NCCR. An actual on-duty 1000 MW unit was taken as study unit, and the results show that the energy saving potential is remarkable when the operators adjust the KPIs based on the calculated benchmark values.     

Revisiting CO2 emissions convergence in G18 countries

This study revisits whether CO₂ emissions converge in G18 countries over the period of 1950–2013. To work on this empirical analysis, we employ a more powerful quantile unit root test with per capita CO₂ emissions. While conventional unit root tests fail to reject convergence in CO₂ emissions in these G18 countries, quantile unit root test results demonstrate CO₂ emissions converged in 5 of these G18 countries (i.e., Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and India). Our empirical results have important policy implications for the governments of G18 countries to direct efficient and effective energy policies to reduce the CO₂ emissions.

Exergy analysis of the diesel pre-reforming solid oxide fuel cell system with anode off-gas recycling in the SchIBZ project. Part I: Modeling and validation

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems with anode off-gas recirculation (AGR) and diesel pre-reforming are advantageous because they can operate with the current fuel infrastructure. In the SchIBZ-project, the prototype of such a SOFC system for maritime applications has already been commissioned. In this first paper, we model the system devices to conduct an exergy analysis of this real SOFC plant and validate them with experimental values from experiments in laboratory scale. The results of our simulation agree well with the experimental values. The calculations with the validated results may be closer to the real thermodynamic behavior of such system components than previous literature.
