Influence of the two different anion structures viz. bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI?) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (TFSI?), on the thermophysical, dielectric and electrochemical properties of ZrO2-nanoparticle tethered pyrrolidinium based nanoscale hybrid ionic fluids (NHIFs) was investigated. Thermal and mechanical properties of NHIFs were found to depend strongly upon the structure of anions and TFSI? comprising NHIF showed better thermal and mechanical stability then its FSI? analogue. Temperature dependent electrical conductivity, dielectric and electrochemical properties of different NHIFs were studied. FSI-NHIF displayed higher ionic conductivity, associated with faster structural relaxation dynamics. At all the measured temperature, FSI-NHIF displayed superior electrochemical cycling performance than its TFSI-equivalent. While, electrochemical cell with TFSI-NHIF showed 81% capacitance retentivity after 5000 charge/discharge cycles, FSI-NHIF cell was found to retain >90% of its initial specific capacitance value after the same. Results obtained from the study optimize the applicability of pyrrolidinium based hybrid ionic fluids as electrolytes in secondary energy storage devices. 相似文献
In recent years,iron(Fe)based degradable metal is explored as an alternative to permanent fracture fixation devices.In the present work,copper(Cu)is added in Fe-Mn system to enhance the degradation rate and antimicrobial properties.Fe-Mn-xCu(x=0.9,5 and 10 wt.%)alloys are prepared by the melting-casting-forging route.XRD analysis confirms austenite phase stabilization due to the presence of Mn and Cu.As predicted by Thermo-Calc calculations,Cu rich phase precipitations are noticed along the austen-ite grain boundaries.Degradation behaviours of Cu added Fe-Mn alloys are investigated through static immersion and electrochemical polarization where enhanced degradation is found for higher Cu added alloys.When challenged against E.Coli bacteria,the Fe-Mn-Cu alloy media extract shows a significant bac-tericidal effect compare to the base alloy.In vitro cytocompatibility studies,as determined using MG63 and MC3T3-E1 cell lines,indicate increased cell density as a function of time for all the alloys.When implanted in rabbit femur,the newly developed alloy does not show any kind of tissue necrosis around the implants.Better osteogenesis and higher new bone formation are observed with Fe-Mn-10Cu alloy as evident from micro-computed tomography(μ-CT)and fluorochrome labelling. 相似文献

Environmental concerns continue to pose the challenge to replace petroleum-based products with renewable ones completely or at least partially while maintaining comparable properties. Herein, rigid polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared using soy-based polyol for structural and thermal insulation applications. Cell size, density, thermal resistivity, and compression force deflection (CFD) values were evaluated and compared with that of petroleum-based PU foam Baydur 683. The roles of different additives, that is, catalyst, blowing agent, surfactants, and different functionalities of polyol on the properties of fabricated foam were also investigated. For this study, dibutyltin dilaurate was employed as catalyst and water as environment friendly blowing agent. Their competitive effect on density and cell size of the PU foams were evaluated. Five different silicone-based surfactants were employed to study the effect of surface tension on cell size of foam. It was also found that 5 g of surfactant per 100 g of polyol produced a foam with minimum surface tension and highest thermal resistivity (R value: 26.11 m2·K/W). However, CFD values were compromised for higher surfactant loading. Additionally, blending of 5 g of higher functionality soy-based polyol improved the CFD values to 328.19 kPa, which was comparable to that of petroleum-based foam Baydur 683. 相似文献
A wind turbine drive has been designed and built for full scale trials in order to assess the use of this type of propulsion for commercial craft. This wind turbine rig is fitted to the 5.6m long Blackwater sloop ‘Falcon’.
Test results from this boat are presented over a range of operating wind conditions up to Beaufort force 6 (11.5m/s) for two different wind turbine rotors. Maximum boatspeeds reached were 3.5 knots upwind (in 7.2m/s wind), 5.0 knots across the wind (9.8m/s wind) and 5.2 knots downwind (8m/s wind). The ‘hull speed’ of this boat is around 5.0 knots. 相似文献
The present work investigates the effect of using TiO2 Nanoparticles at a different proportion of Azolla algae methyl ester, in a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine. Biodiesel can be obtained from Azolla algae due to the presence of high oil content. The oil was extracted from Azolla algae by means of the Soxhlet extraction method which was compared to be more effective than the oil obtained by means of hydraulic pressing machine. The obtained oil was converted to biodiesel by means of transesterification process. The fuel properties of the prepared Azolla methyl ester found to confirm with the ASTM standards. TiO2 Nanoparticles were synthesized by means of ball milling process and characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. In the present study, the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine were analyzed with the addition of TiO2 Nanoparticles to Azolla oil methyl ester (25,50,75 and100 ppm) and compared with that of diesel. The % decrease in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 7.81, 12.05, 19.71, and 23.53, respectively, when compared to B20. The % increase in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 2.60, 8.49, 8.79 and 13.38, respectively, when compared to B20. The % decrease in Carbon monoxide (CO) for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 21.15, 51.92, 54.80, and 57.30, respectively, when compared to B20. The % decrease in Hydro Carbon (HC) for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 7.53,8.36,10.04 and 12.97, respectively, when compared to B20. The % increase in Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 5.44, 7.85, 8.67, and 9.16, respectively, when compared to B20. The % decrease in smoke for B20 + 25, B20 + 50, B20 + 75 and B20 + 100 were found to be 18.02, 30.18, 31.98 and 36.04, respectively, when compared to B20. Addition of TiO2 Nanoparticles with the Azolla biodiesel is found to be an effective approach to improve the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine without any modification. 相似文献
WSN consists of independent device spatially distributed in the wireless network with sensor that observes the environment conditions. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for transmission head and its function. The cluster head (CH) activities, the role of transmission head (TH) and the selection of TH in various scenarios are discussed. Moreover the residual energy of the head nodes, signal–noise ratio for CH and TH are analysed with simulation results. Section 3 defines the cluster region and the active nodes of the cluster. It defines the identity of each cluster node. Section 3 deals with the selection of CH and the role of TH. Also, the algorithmic approach of TH is explained in this section. Section 4 explains the process of TH to TH communication. The communication of the various clusters is discussed in this section. The final section presents the analysis of TH and CH work with a comparison based on simulation.
