Geometrical effect on laminar mixed convection in the entrance region of shrouded arrays of heated rectangular blocks

Abstract

The effect of geometric parameter on laminar mixed convection in the entrance region of shrouded arrays of heated rectangular blocks is approached numerically for large Prandtl number fluid. The problem considered is related to convective cooling of electronic components mounted on horizontal circuit boards. Typical development of streamline and isotherm, block wall temperature distribution, and local Nusselt number are presented. It is found that the secondary flow leads to a significant enhancement in heat transfer. The multiple eddies above the block, induced by the combined geometric and buoyancy effect, lead to a more uniform block wall temperature distribution and then reduce the magnitude of the highest wall temperature.     

A Bayesian approach for sleep and wake classification based on dynamic time warping method

Sleep plays a significant role in human’ smental and physical health. Recently, the associations between lack of sleep and weight gain, development of cancer and many other health problems have been recognized. Then monitoring the sleep and wake state all night is becoming a hotspot issue. Traditionally it classified by a PSG recording which is very costly and uncomfortable. Nowadays, with the advance of internet of things, many convenient wearable devices are being used for medical use, like measuring the heart rate (HR), blood pressure and other signals. With the sleep quality monitor problem, the key question is how to discriminate the sleep and weak stage from these signals. This paper proposed a Bayesian approach based on dynamic time warping (DTW) method for sleep and wake classification. It used HR and surplus pulse O2 (SPO2) signals to analyze the sleep states and the occurrence of some sleep-related problems. DTW is an algorithm that searches an optimal alignment between time series with scaling and shifting and Bayesian methods have been successfully used for object classification in many study. In this paper, a three-step process is used for sleep and wake classification. In the first step, the DTW is used to extract features of the original HR and SPO2 signals. Then a probabilistic model is introduced for using the Bayesian classification for uncertain data. And in the classification step, the DTW features are used as the training dataset in the Bayesian approach for sleep and wake classification. Finally, a case study form a real-word applications, collected from the website of the Sleep Heart Health Study, is presented to shown the feasibility and advantages of the DTW-based Bayesian approach.     

液渣成分和硅酸二钙颗粒含量对铁水预处理非均相脱磷剂脱磷能力的影响简

 高磷铁水预处理脱磷的难题是脱磷剂用量太大、温降太多，急需研究脱磷能力强的脱磷剂。含有固体颗粒和液渣的非均相脱磷剂比仅含液渣的均相脱磷剂的脱磷能力强很多。为此，针对磷的质量分数为0. 5%的高磷铁水，应用FactSageTM热力学软件优选出脱磷能力强的3种液渣，添加不同数量的硅酸二钙颗粒配制非均相脱磷剂试样，脱磷剂和熔铁在1560℃下反应6h，测定熔铁中的平衡磷含量，用以评价其脱磷能力，然后在1400℃下进行了铁水脱磷预处理试验。研究结果表明，随着硅酸二钙颗粒含量的增加，非均相脱磷剂的脱磷能力明显改善；采用非均相脱磷剂有助于减少渣量和控制反应器内衬的侵蚀；采用非均相脱磷剂对铁水脱磷，仍然需要控制较高的渣铁界面FetO浓度。     

Design of three-dimensional gradient nonwoven composites with robust dust holding capacity for air filtration

Air pollution has seriously threatened public health in developing countries. However, it is still a big challenge for fabricating a filter with high filtration efficiency, low air resistance, and long service life. Herein, we report a facile strategy to fabricate a multilayered nonwoven composite with a functionally gradient structure for air filtration by a combined method of needle-punch, melt blown, and corona charging techniques. Our integrated multilayer needle-punched/melt blown composite filter could achieve a high filtration efficiency up to 99.52 ± 0.01%, a low pressure drop of 136.87 ± 0.49 Pa, and a satisfied quality factor of 0.03898 ± 0.0001 Pa⁻¹ for sodium chloride particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.26 μm at the airflow rate of 85 L min⁻¹. More importantly, the resultant filter exhibited a large dust holding capacity of 23.5 ± 0.41 g m⁻², which indicates a long service life. It is expected that our multilayer needle-punched/melt blown composite fabric may not only serve as a good candidate for air filtration, but also provide a new sight for designing the air filtration materials. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of phase separation on spherulitic growth rate of PP/EPR in‐reactor alloys

In this work, the effect of phase separation on the spherulitic growth rate of a polypropylene/ethylene–propylene random (PP/EPR) copolymer in‐reactor alloy was investigated. The PP/EPR in‐reactor alloy was either directly quenched from homogeneous melt to crystallization temperature or held at various temperatures for phase separation prior to crystallization. It is found that at lower crystallization temperatures previous phase separation in the melt retards the crystallization rate. The higher the phase separation rate, the smaller the spherulitic growth rate. This can be attributed to faster crystallization rate than the rate of secondary phase separation. The composition of the PP‐rich phase and corresponding depression of the equilibrium melting temperature of PP vary with phase separation temperature. On the other hand, at higher crystallization temperature, previous phase separation in the melt has little effect on the spherulitic growth rate because secondary phase separation can take place prior to crystallization. The transition temperature from regime II to regime III also shifts to lower temperature as the phase separation temperature increases. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

A review of CO2 sorbents for promoting hydrogen production in the sorption-enhanced steam reforming process

Sorption-enhanced-steam-reforming (SESR) is a thermochemical conversion technology that produces a high-purity hydrogen stream by utilizing in-situ removal of CO₂ with a sorbent. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of CaO based sorbents, alkali-metal based sorbents (Na₂ZrO₃, Li₂ZrO₃ and Li₄SiO₄), hydrotalcite based sorbents, bifunctional materials and sorbents prepared from wastes are briefly discussed, and the techniques to improve the sorption properties of these CO₂ sorbents are summarized. In the process of hydrogen production by sorption-enhanced-steam-reforming, the selection of suitable high-temperature CO₂ sorbent is the key to produce high purity hydrogen. Furthermore, the hydrogen-production performance of the above-mentioned sorbents in the SESR process is investigated and summarized. Finally, a future perspective and some suggestions regarding these five types of sorbents are put forward.
