Electrical characterization of waterside corrosion films formed on ZrNb(1%)O(0.13%)

Oxide films formed by water oxidation at 360°C on ZrNb(1%)O(0.13%) for several durations (50-300 days) were studied by impedance spectroscopy (IS) in gaseous atmosphere. The electrical behavior of oxide layers was investigated as a function of the temperature (25-300°C) at constant oxygen partial pressure (0.3 Pa). Cole-Cole diagrams suggest a frequency-temperature equivalence. A simple electrical model has been derived from the as-deduced 14 decade master curve. Equivalent circuit includes a series association of two layers exhibiting different dielectric properties: a dense layer near the oxide-metal interface and a porous layer at the waterside. Electronic conductivity is predominant within the whole temperature range, but ionic contribution was proposed to increase for temperature higher than 170°C. During the parabolic oxidation step, the oxide thickness of the barrier layer increases but oxide growth would not be only a geometrical one. The kinetic modification to a constant oxidation rate was observed to be correlated to the increase of the dense layer thickness. Such a behavior suggests that the mechanism controlling oxidation rate is not a pure mechanism of oxygen diffusion through this layer. Finally, a qualitative model of activated electrons transport based on an hopping mechanism was proposed in order to take into account that the Arrhenius diagrams of both total conductivity and dispersion factor are characterized by a break point with two activation energy values.     

Aqueous Processing and Stabilization of Manganese Zinc Ferrite Powders via a Passivation–Dispersion Approach

A dispersion scheme for aqueous processing of manganese zinc ferrite suspensions is presented. The addition of oxalic acid leads to the formation of a uniform negative charge on the surface such that a cationic polyelectrolyte, polyethyleneimine (PEI), adsorbs and provides electrosteric dispersion. At 0.5 w/w (weight percent with respect to the dry powder) oxalic acid addition, there is a relatively uniform negative surface charge (approximately −30 mV) within the suspension pH range investigated (3–10), eliminating the isoelectric point (pH ∼7.6) present for the as-received metal oxide powder. At the addition of 0.5 w/w PEI on an oxalate-treated surface, the surface charge is constant and positive (∼20 mV) through a wide pH range, ∼5–10. The resulting rheological data for passivation–dispersion of relatively high-solids manganese zinc ferrite suspensions (∼80 wt%) demonstrate improved colloid stability with improved rheological properties. The resulting apparent viscosity and Bingham yield point is 0.01 Pa·s (12.0 cP) and 0.24 Pa (2.4 dynes/cm²), respectively. A sulfonated napthalene-based dispersant, typically used in industry, gives an apparent viscosity and Bingham yield point of 0.03 Pa·s (32 cP) and 3.1 Pa (31 dynes/cm²), respectively.     

基于改进PSO算法的结构损伤检测

结构的损伤检测常转化为求解约束优化问题,针对粒子群算法容易出现早熟问题,增大算法后期的粒子位置的改变量,从而增加粒子位置的差异,因而能够增强其在求解约束优化问题时抵抗局部极小的能力。两层刚架单损伤和多损伤识别的数值结果和收敛曲线表明了改进后的粒子群算法优于传统的带惯性因子的粒子群算法。三层框架结构的4种损伤工况的试验研究进一步说明了该算法应用于结构损伤检测领域的有效性。     

Determination of gas dispersion in vapor extraction of heavy oil and bitumen

In this work, a mathematical model is developed and simulated to determine gas dispersion along with solubility during the vapor extraction (Vapex) of live oil from a laboratory scale physical model. The physical model is a rectangular block of homogenous porous medium saturated with heavy oil and bitumen. At a given temperature and pressure, the block is initially exposed on its side to a solvent gas, which diffuses into the medium and gets absorbed. The absorption of gas reduces the viscosity of heavy oil and bitumen causing it to drain under gravity. The low-viscosity “live oil” is produced at the bottom of the porous block. The production of live oil with time is accompanied by the shrinkage of oil in the block as well as its increased exposure to gas from top. These phenomena of Vapex are described by the mathematical model, which is used to calculate live oil production with various values of gas solubility and dispersion. Their optimal values are determined for the vapor extraction of Cold Lake bitumen with butane by matching calculated live oil production with its experimental values published earlier.     

Equivalent Control of Constrained Multibody Systems

This paper investigates the title problem from the perspective ofdetermining which forcesystems, although different, will have the same dynamic effectwhen applied to a mechanical system.A procedure is presented for determining how differences incontrol force/moment input are nullifiedby constraints on the system. This in turn provides a basis foroptimal control. The theoreticaldevelopment is illustrated by a series of examples with a model ofa redundant manipulator – a constrained/controlled triple pendulum.     

Dispersion characterization in layered double hydroxide/Nylon 66 nanocomposites using FIB imaging

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), a newly emerging 2D host material, consist of cationic brucite-like layers and exchangeable interlayer anions. In this work, the morphology and dispersion of LDH particles in LDH/Nylon 66 (salt) nanocomposites has been investigated using focused ion beam (FIB) techniques, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The FIB images show that LDHs are present in the polymer phase dispersed to different degrees, with partial intercalation, exfoliation, and aggregation all being observed. The most even dispersion was achieved in nanocomposites with the lowest loading (0.5 wt % LDH). Residual tactoids and agglomerates were most common in the samples made with the highest concentration of LDHs studied here (5 wt %). The dispersion observed using FIB was consistent with TEM and XRD analysis, yet this technique had significant benefits in terms of time and simplicity over these “conventional” technologies. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
