Diffusion bonding of TiAl based alloy to Ti–6Al–4V alloy using amorphous interlayer

Powder metallurgical TiAl based alloy and Ti–6Al–4V (TC4) alloy were diffusion bonded at 915 °C for 1 h under a pressure of 80 MPa. Single Ti‐based amorphous or Ni‐based amorphous foil was utilized as an interlayer during diffusion bonding process. The tensile mechanical properties of the diffusion bonded joints between TiAl based alloy and TC4 alloy were tested. The fracture surface and microstructure characteristic of these joints were also observed carefully by scanning electron microscope. The TiAl based alloy with a fully lamellar microstructure is more suitable for diffusion bonding to TC4 alloy. Adding a Ti‐based amorphous interlayer is more conducive to the element diffusion, giving rise to the improvement in the mechanical properties of the diffusion bonded joints. Results also show that the diffusion bonded joints form a metallurgical bond and fracture in a brittle manner.     

基于多维有限自动机的DFA改进算法

多个正则表达式规则编译成一个DFA(deter minister finite automata)时,会产生状态爆炸、存储急剧增加的现象。针对最严重的状态爆炸问题,从信息论的角度给出了解释,并提出多维数学模型,将冗余状态分为0维状态和1维状态,通过前者按照维度压缩,后者动态构建的方法将空间复杂度降到理论下界,并在此基础上提出多维有限自动机(MFA, multi-dimensional finite automata)。实验表明,MFA构造时间比XFA略少,比DFA、STT冗余压缩算法和Hybrid-FA降低了2~3个数量级;存储空间比XFA略高,比DFA、STT冗余压缩算法、mDFA、Hybrid-FA降低了1~2个数量级;匹配时间比DFA、Hybrid-FA略多,但是比XFA略少,比STT冗余压缩算法和mDFA降低了1~2个数量级。     

Applications of ground source heat pump systems in different temperature zones in China

An analysis of the application of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems to different temperature zones in China is presented in this paper. According to the climate characteristics, China is divided into six different temperature zones: the tropical zone, the subtropical zone, the warm temperate zone, the mid temperate zone, the cold temperate zone, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau vertical temperature zone. Six representative cities corresponding to the six temperature zones are chosen and their different climate and soil characteristics are studied. The results show that a GSHP system can be applied to the first four temperature zones above, but not the cold temperate zone and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau vertical temperature zone. However, in different temperature zones, different GSHP systems should be designed and built.     

Intercomparison of a portable and two stationary mobility particle sizers for nanoscale aerosol measurements

During occupational exposure studies, the use of conventional scanning mobility particle sizers (SMPS) provides high quality data but may convey transport and application limitations. New instruments aiming to overcome these limitations are being currently developed. The purpose of the present study was to compare the performance of the novel portable NanoScan SMPS TSI 3910 with that of two stationary SMPS instruments and one ultrafine condensation particle counter (UCPC) in a controlled atmosphere and for different particle types and concentrations.

The results show that NanoScan tends to overestimate particle number concentrations with regard to the UCPC, particularly for agglomerated particles (ZnO, spark generated soot and diesel soot particles) with relative differences >20%. The best agreements between the internal reference values and measured number concentrations were obtained when measuring compact and spherical particles (NaCl and DEHS particles). With regard to particle diameter (modal size), results from NanoScan were comparable < [± 20%] to those measured by SMPSs for most of the aerosols measured.

The findings of this study show that mobility particle sizers using unipolar and bipolar charging may be affected differently by particle size, morphologies, particle composition and concentration. While the sizing accuracy of the NanoScan SMPS was mostly within ±25%, it may miscount total particle number concentration by more than 50% (especially for agglomerated particles), thus making it unsuitable for occupational exposure assessments where high degree of accuracy is required (e.g., in tier 3). However, can be a useful instrument to obtain an estimate of the aerosol size distribution in indoor and workplace air, e.g., in tier 2.
