Crystal structure and hydrogen storage properties of a novel equiatomic TiZrNbCrFe high-entropy alloy (HEA) were studied. The selected alloy, which had a A3B2-type configuration (A: elements forming hydride, B: elements with low chemical affinity with hydrogen) was designed to produce a hydride with a hydrogen-to-metal atomic ratio (H/M) higher than those for the AB2- and AB-type alloys. The phase stability of alloy was investigated through thermodynamic calculations by the CALPHAD method. The alloy after arc melting showed the dominant presence of a solid solution C14 Laves phase (98.4%) with a minor proportion of a disordered BCC phase (1.6%). Hydrogen storage properties investigated at different temperatures revealed that the alloy was able to reversibly absorb and fully desorb 1.9 wt% of hydrogen at 473 K. During the hydrogenation, the initial C14 and BCC crystal structures were fully converted into the C14 and FCC hydrides, respectively. The H/M value was 1.32 which is higher than the value of 1 reported for the AB2- and AB-type HEAs. The present results show that good hydrogen storage capacity and reversibility at moderate temperatures can be attained in HEAs with new configurations such as A3B2/A3B2H7. 相似文献
Identification of the uncertain parameters, which affecting on the qualitative behavior of the aquifer, and determining their effect on the uncertainty of the simulated nitrate concentration (NC) is one of the major challenges in the qualitative monitoring of aquifers. In this study, in order to determine the quantitative amount of uncertainty related to the simulated nitrate, an approach based on a hybrid of Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) model and Fuzzy Vertex Method (FVM) method was developed using the developed code for the relationship between aquifer simulation model and MATLAB environment. In this model, hydraulic conductivity, NC in aquifer recharge sources, longitudinal dispersivity coefficient, and specific storage parameters were considered as uncertain parameters in the distributed simulation model of the Ardabil aquifer. In the proposed approach, first the quantitative and qualitative (QQ) model of the aquifer was prepared using the GMS model and calibrated. Then, using the FVM method and developed MATALB code, the uncertain values appropriate for each of the aquifer active cells were determined. The results obtained from the monthly NC uncertainty show that with increasing the level of uncertainty, the uncertainty of the simulated NC increases significantly. For example, can be mentioned a 14-fold increase in the number of cells with variation of NC less than 10% in the September month. Also, the lowest and highest variation in the deterministic amount of NC is related to the months of Nov. and Sep. with concentration variations equal to [??8.5, 8.35] and [??23.43, 19.8] mg/L, respectively. The findings of this study show that the application of at least 10% uncertainty in the deterministic values of the simulated NC is necessary to provide a suitable view for quality monitoring of aquifer. A quantitative amount of monthly uncertainty in areas with nitrate concentrations greater than 50 mg/L indicates that the amount of uncertainty in these areas is higher than areas with nitrate concentrations less than 50 mg/L. This leads to errors in the monitoring of contaminated areas to eliminate contamination and quality restoration. Also, centralization of uncertainty is mainly concentrated in the northeastern, western and southwestern parts of Ardabil plain and the severity of uncertainty in the mentioned areas increases with the intensification of uncertainty and continues to the central areas. Finally, it must be said that hydraulic conductivity and NC in aquifer recharge sources, respectively, play the most important role in creating uncertainty and is necessary to be considered in the NC simulation models.
The study of squeezing flow has attracted considerable interest in recent years for its important applications in industrial, biomedical and engineering domains such as fibre-reinforced, cell squeeze technology. The aim of this study is to analyze the flow and heat transfer of a squeezed particle fluid with thermal radiation effects between parallel plates. The governing partial differentials are reduced to ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation and solved numerically using the finite difference method. The effects of different physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are discussed with the help of graphs coupled with comprehensive discussions. The results indicate that the thermal radiation parameter enhanced the fluid and particle temperature distribution and for the plate oscillation case, reverse flow is observed. To show the biological relevance of the analysis, the results obtained analyzed the influence of the squeezed artery wall on the suspension blood flow for normal and diseased blood using the experimental data from the published literature. Finally, a comparison between the present similarity solutions and previously published results shows the accuracy of the current results. 相似文献

In practical situations, the underlying process distribution sometimes deviates from normality and their distribution is partially or completely unknown. In that instance, rather than staying with/depending on the conventional parametric control charts, we consider non-parametric control charts due to their exceptional performance. In this paper, a new non-parametric double homogeneously weighted moving average sign control chart is proposed with the least assumptions. This chart is based on a sign test statistic for catching the smaller deviations in the process location. Run-length (RL) properties of the proposed chart are studied with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. Both in-control and out-of-control RL properties show that the proposed chart is a better contender as compared to some existing charts from the literature. A real-life application for practical consideration of the proposed chart is also provided. 相似文献

The absorption efficiency of a solar collector using different types of nanofluids was improved. Experimental work was carried out to investigate the flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors under outdoor conditions to produce distilled water. A pilot plant was designed and installed. The yield of distilled water at different seawater flow rates and the physical properties of nanofluids were determined. Solar intensity, water mass flow rate, and temperature were measured. The performance of the desalination unit was evaluated in the presence of carbon nanotubes in paraffin wax and ethylene glycol nanofluids. The evaporation efficiency of the flat-plate collector was improved up to 36 % in the presence of ethylene glycol nanofluid at 80–100 °C. 相似文献
