Photocatalytic evolution of hydrogen over mesoporous TiO2 supported NiO photocatalyst prepared by single-step sol–gel process with surfactant template

Photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titania supported nickel oxide photocatalyst synthesized by single-step sol–gel (SSSG) process combined with surfactant-assisted template method was investigated for hydrogen evolution from an aqueous methanol solution, in comparison with one prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) method. In single-step sol–gel process, nickel precursor was introduced into the titania sol prepared with the aid of a surfactant template behaving as pore-controlling agent to attain meso-scaled pore. The single-step sol–gel photocatalyst was experimentally found to enhance the photocatalytic evolution of hydrogen rather than the impregnated one. The optimum level of nickel loading in photocatalytic activity test for single-step sol–gel method was slightly higher than that for incipient wetness impregnation method. Characterization results demonstrated the significant modification of physical characteristics of the single-step sol–gel photocatalyst, anticipated to relating to the observation of higher photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity.

Magnetic Field Analysis of Disk Coreless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Based on Thickness Variation Halbach Array

Being a new permanent magnets(PMs) arrangement, the Halbach array could approve the magnetic flux density effectively, through weakening the magnetic flux density in one side of the PMs array, meanwhile strengthening the magnetic flux density in the other side. In the disk coreless PM synchronous motor (PMSM), the magnetic flux density is required to be sine wave and the peak value should be as high as possible. The paper deals with the application of the 90° Halbach array in the disk coreless PMSM, adopting NdFeB PMs. For the thickness of PMs influences the magnetic flux density in the air gap, the thickness variation technology is adopted. Through altering the adjacent PMs thickness, nine different PMs thickness combination is analyzed by FEM methods. And the conclusion is that when the thickness of tangential magnetization PMs is great than that of the radial magnetization PMs, the magnetic flux density wave is closer to sine wave than when the thickness of the tangential magnetization PMs is smaller than that of the radial magnetization PMs. Furthermore, when the thickness of the tangential magnetization PMs is great than that of the radial magnetization PMs, keeping the thickness of the tangential magnetization PMs being 0.006 m and the thickness of the radial magnetization PMs variation from 0.0048 m to 0.006 m, the magnetic flux density in the air gap will become closer to sine wave gradually, and then it becomes nonsinusoidal again. And when the thickness of radial magnetization PMs is 0.0054 m and 0.0055 m, the waves of magnetic flux density in the air gap are better than others.     

Effect of residual surface stress on the fatigue behavior of a low-alloy powder metallurgy steel

In this study we have characterized the fatigue behavior of a low-alloy powder metallurgy (P/M) sintered steel, composed mainly of martensite and bainite with 10.4% porosity. After each processing step, the residual axial surface stress was measured by X-ray diffraction. Significant compressive surface stresses were generated during the machining of the fatigue specimens. A heat-treatment at 175 °C after machining had no effect on these residual stresses, but polishing the surface resulted in a 20% reduction in compressive stresses. The residual surface stresses had no apparent effect on the fatigue behavior of the sintered steel. Rather, the fatigue behavior was controlled by sub-surface defects consisting of weakly bonded particles located in regions of high porosity.

Performance of miniaturized direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) devices using micropump for fuel delivery

A fuel cell is a device that can convert chemical energy into electricity directly. Among various types of fuel cells, both polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) can work at low temperature (<80 °C). Therefore, they can be used to supply power for commercial portable electronics such as laptop computers, digital cameras, PDAs and cell phones. The focus of this paper is to investigate the performance of a miniaturized DMFC device using a micropump to deliver fuel. The core of this micropump is a piezoelectric ring-type bending actuator and the associated nozzle/diffuser for directing fuel flow. Based on the experimental measurements, it is found that the performance of the fuel cell can be significantly improved if enough fuel flow is induced by the micropump at anode. Three factors may contribute to the performance enhancement including replenishment of methanol, decrease of diffusion resistance and removal of carbon dioxide. In comparison with conventional mini pumps, the size of the piezoelectric micropump is much smaller and the energy consumption is much lower. Thus, it is very viable and effective to use a piezoelectric valveless micropump for fuel delivery in miniaturized DMFC power systems.
