Effect of heat loss on the syngas production by fuel-rich combustion in a divergent two-layer burner

The effect of heat loss on the syngas production from partial combustion of fuel-rich in a divergent two-layer burner is numerically studied using two-dimensional model with detailed kinetics GRI-Mech 1.2. Both the radiation and wall heat losses to the surrounding are considered in the computations. It is shown that two types heat losses have different effects on the syngas production. The radiation heat loss has significant effect on the syngas temperature and the syngas temperature is dropped as radiation heat loss is increased, but it has neglected effect on the reforming efficiency and methane conversion efficiency. The wall heat loss has a comprehensive effect on the syngas production. The wall heat loss not only reduces the conversion efficiency, but also significantly decreases the syngas temperature. The effect of wall heat loss becomes weak as the equivalence is increased. The reforming efficiency drops from 0.440 to 0.424 for equivalence ratio of 2 and mixture velocity of 0.17 m/s for the predictions between adiabatic wall and non-adiabatic conditions.     

Silica-based ceramics toward electromagnetic microwave absorption

Silica-based ceramics have been explored extensively as a class of versatile materials for various applications in architecture, catalysis, energy, machinery, and biomedical engineering. Nevertheless, comprehensive information on silica-based ceramic and electromagnetic microwave (EMW) absorption is scarce, although excellent progress has been made in this field. Here, recent progress in the investigation of silica-based ceramics toward EMW absorption is reviewed. We first introduced the basis of ceramics (characteristics, classification, synthetic methods, potential applications). Subsequently, the silica-based ceramics, including Si-based oxides and alloys, SiOC/SiC/Si₃N₄/SiCN-based composite, Ti₃SiC₂ and composite for EMW absorption were systematically summarized. Notably, the fabrication strategies, absorption properties, and mechanisms of silica-based ceramics are described in detail, with a focus on structure and component design. Lastly, the prospects and ongoing challenges of this field in the future are presented. This review is expected to learn from the past and achieve progress toward the future of silica-based ceramic for EMW absorption.     

Simulations of NBI fast ion loss in the presence of toroidal field ripple on EAST

NBI fast ion losses in the presence of the toroidal field ripple on EAST have been investigated by using the orbit code GYCAVA and the NBI code TGCO. The ripple effect was included in the upgraded version of the GYCAVA code. It is found that loss regions of NBI fast ions are mainly on the low field side near the edge in the presence of ripple. For co-current NBIs, the synergy effect of ripple and Coulomb collision on fast ion losses is dominant, and fast trapped ions located on the low field side are easily lost. The ripple well loss and the ripple stochastic loss of fast ions have been identified from the heat loads of co-current NBI fast ions. The ripple stochastic loss and the collisioninduced loss are much larger than the ripple well loss. Heat loads of lost fast ions are mainly localized on the right side of the radio frequency wave antennas from the inside view toward the first wall. For counter-current NBIs, the first orbit loss due to the magnetic drift is the dominant loss channel. In addition, fast ion loss fraction with ripple and collision for each NBI linearly increases with the effective charge number, which is related to the pitch angle scattering effect.     

Cd-substituted NiZnCo ferrite with high dielectric constant and low coercivity for high-frequency electronic devices

This work investigated the effect of replacing Zn²⁺ ions with Cd²⁺ ions on the microstructure and electromagnetic properties of NiZnCo ferrites. The studies show that the Cd²⁺ ions substituted for Zn²⁺ ions at the A sites (tetrahedral sites) of the ferrite lattice. The large ionic radius of the Cd²⁺ ions can cause lattice distortion. Concurrently, the low melting point of CdO can effectively reduce the sintering temperature of NiZnCo ferrite, thereby significantly changing the magnetoelectric properties of NiZnCo ferrite. These changes are mainly manifested as the decrease in the saturation magnetization (Ms) from 66.6 to 58.5 emu/g and the increase in coercivity (Hc) from 31.2 to 34.8 Oe. The dielectric constant increases considerably, dielectric loss tanδ gradually decreases from 4.71 to 0.83 at 10 kHz, and DC resistivity ρ decreases considerably from 8.0 × 10⁴ to 1.61 × 10⁴ Ω m. Therefore, the substitution of Cd²⁺ ions in NiZnCo ferrite provides excellent electrical and magnetic properties, which provide a reference for the development of high-frequency miniaturized electronic equipment.

In this work, an ultralight nanocomposite of graphene oxide aerogels as a matrix and nickel-zinc ferrite (Ni_0.7Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄) nanoparticles as a second phase for the absorption of electromagnetic waves in the frequency of 1–18 GHz were fabricated by the hydrothermal - freeze-drying method. α-Al₂O₃ nanoparticles were used for further impedance matching for applications in electromagnetic wave absorption. XRD, SEM, EDS, and VNA analyses were used to characterize the sample. The effects of the amount of Ni_0.7Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄ (NZF) nanoparticles (GO: NZF volume percent ratio = 5:1 and 2:1) on the absorption of electromagnetic waves were investigated.

基于边缘和局部熵融合的视觉安全性评估方法

针对基于局部熵进行加密图像视觉安全性评估存在块效应的局限性，引入图像的边缘特征，通过共有边缘来衡量加密图像与原始图像的边缘相似度，消除了块效应。由于局部熵对加密等级低的图像不敏感，边缘相似度对加密等级高的图像不敏感，将两个评估方法进行自适应融合，提出[SLEES]（Local Entropy and Edge Similarity，[SLEES]）指标。通过改变图像像素位置和图像像素值的加密方式处理图像和视频帧进行测试，实验结果表明，[SLEES]指标相比传统评估指标有更好的鲁棒性，评估范围更广。
