Effect of the electrolyte composition on In and Ag–In alloy electrodeposition from cyanide electrolytes

A procedure for preparation of clear and stable indium cyanide electrolytes, containing indium salt, d(+)-Glucose and KCN is proposed. NMR investigations revealed that the formation of a complicated indium complex in which the products of the disintegration of d(+)-Glucose in the KCN-solution are closely situated to the indium ion ensures the clearness of the electrolyte. The effect of nitrate, chloride and sulphate ions on the electrochemical processes of indium and silver–indium alloy electrodeposition is studied by cyclic voltammetry. During alloy electrodeposition under galvanostatic conditions unique spatio–temporal structures are observed on the cathodic surface.     

In situ ellipsometric study of a palladium catalyst during the oxidation of methane

Ellipsometry is used to follow the growth of a PdO layer on the surface of a thick Pd-film catalyst during methane oxidation at 500°C. The oxide layer that develops under rich conditions (excess CH₄) is quite porous and roughens with time. Little CO is formed during this period, but the CO₂ formation rate increases until spontaneous oscillations develop, which correlate with changes in the ellipsometric data. These changes indicate that the porous oxide rapidly converts to a metal-rich state, which has decreased catalytic activity, and then slowly reoxidizes.     

Isolation of Whole-plant Multiple Oscillations via Non-negative Spectral Decompositio

Constrained spectral non-negative matrix factorization（NMF）analysis of perturbed oscillatory process control loop variable data is performed for the isolation of multiple plant-wide oscillatory sources.The technique is described and demonstrated by analyzing data from both simulated and real plant data of a chemical process plant. Results show that the proposed approach can map multiple oscillatory sources onto the most appropriate control loops,and has superior performance in terms of reconstruction accuracy and intuitive understanding compared with spectral independent component analysis（ICA）.     

Ultrasonic oscillations effect on rheological and processing properties of metallocene‐catalyzed linear low density polyethylene

The effects of ultrasonic oscillations and die materials on die pressure, productivity of extrusion, melt viscosity of metallocene‐catalyzed linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE), as well as their mechanism were studied in a special ultrasonic oscillations extrusion system developed in our lab. Die materials used in our experiment included steel, brass, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)_. The experimental results showed that ultrasonic oscillations as well as die materials have great influence on the rheological and processing behavior of mLLDPE. Ultrasonic oscillations can greatly increase the productivity of mLLDPE melt extruded through different dies, and can decrease the die pressure and the melt viscosity of mLLDPE. Compared with steel or brass die, mLLDPE melt extruded through PTFE die is more sensitive to ultrasonic oscillations. A possible mechanism for the improved processability of mLLDPE is proposed in this article. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 1873–1878, 2003     

ON THE CHEMICAL OSCILLATIONS IN DIFFERENTIAL REACTORS: A CASE STUDY OF AMMONIA OXIDATION ON PLATINUM

Trying to identify the mechanism(s) responsible for isothermal oscillatory behavior of heterogeneous catalytic reaction systems, many investigators have assumed low conversions with respect to the limiting reactant(s) so that the bulk phase concentrations of the reactants may be considered constant. In this study, it is shown that even in a differential catalytic CSTR, in which conversion of the reactants may be less than %, the changes of the gas phase concentrations of the reacting.species may play a key role in the overall dynamic behavior of a reaction system; for instance, they may drive the oscillations observed. The reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia on polycrystalline platinum is discussed in detail within this context. Several other oxidation reactions are also discussed     

On the forced vibration of the fiber partially immersed in fluid

In this paper an experimental and theoretical investigation of the forced vibration of a partially immersed fiber has been carried out. An optical method utilizing a forward light scattering pattern has been used to detect a small (<1.0 μm) vibration amplitude of the fiber. The physical and mathematical model of the partially immersed fiber vibration has been put forward. Based on an analytical solution of the model, natural frequencies of the partially immersed fiber vibration have been found; they are consecutive positive roots of the transcendental equation. An “effective” speed of the wave propagation over the fiber has been introduced, which allows one to find the physical meaning of normal modes of the partially immersed fiber vibration. Theoretical predictions agree well with experimental data. The sensor exhibits an excellent sensitivity and could be used for measuring physical properties of fluids and liquid level.

Forced consensus in networks of double integrator systems with delayed input

This communique presents forced second-order consensus protocols with communication time-delays for the network of agents with double integrator dynamics and gives a measure of the robustness of the protocols to the communication time-delays. By employing a frequency domain method, it is proven that the forced consensus is achieved asymptotically for appropriate time-delay if the network is connected. Particularly, the maximum fixed time-delay that can be tolerated by the network is found. The forced consensus protocols are distributed in the sense that each agent only needs information from its neighboring agents, which reduces the complexity of connections between agents significantly. Numerical simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the sharpness of the theoretical results.     

非Markov系统的可靠性仿真

在进行非Markov系统的可靠性仿真时,为获得准确的状态转移时间抽样,提出剩余分布的近似抽样(ASRD)方法,利用多个均匀分布拟合一般形式的剩余分布,通过拟合参数d调整抽样精度和抽样效率。在此基础上,提出基于强制转移(FT)策略的ASRD(FT-ASRD)仿真方法。多个算例结果表明,当5≤d≤10时,FT-ASRD相对于常规仿真方法具有更高的效率,而且仿真结果的相对误差较小。
