Decomposition of Time Series Dynamic Linear Models

This paper derives the admissible decompositions for a time series dynamic linear model, assuming only that the model is observable. The decompositions depend on factorizations of the characteristic polynomial of the state evolution matrix G into relatively prime factors. This generalizes the method of West (1997 ) which considers one decomposition in the particular case where G is diagonalizable. Conditions are derived for a decomposition to be independent. These results show that no autoregressive process of order d has an independent decomposition for any integer d . Two illustrations of this procedure are discussed in detail.     

Time‐dependent heat transfer coefficient of a wall

A time‐dependent coefficient of heat transfer is proposed for the computation of thermal power required, so that a room temperature reaches a desired value within a given time. A mathematical formulation of the room heating transient phenomenon is constructed in a dimensionless form. Using an integral approximate solution an analytical expression for this coefficient is provided and it is verified by diagrams adopted by DIN 4701. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of a novel proton‐exchange membrane for fuel cells operating at high temperatures and low humidities

The synthesis of a p‐toluidine/formaldehyde (PTF) resin was performed, and the effects of the molar ratio of the individual monomers and the polymerization conditions on the structure of the PTF resin were studied. Fourier transform infrared and ¹³C‐NMR spectra were used to characterize the PTF. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction patterns revealed the crystalline structures of various PTFs. Polarized optical microscopy revealed that the molar ratio of the monomers had a strong effect on the crystalline morphologies. A longer polymerization time turned out a polymer with a higher intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight, which led to differences in the proton conductivity. All of the PTFs showed a higher proton conductivity than a commercial Nafion membrane at 90–100°C and 0% relative humidity. The proton conductivity of the PTF series could be improved by sulfonation with sulfuric acid and could be maintained after blending with polyurethane. Pure methanol could be used as a fuel source because of the insolubility and nonwetting properties of PTF in methanol to increase the output current density for a PTF membrane electrode assembly. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

我国制造业国有企业的现状与发展

制造业国有企业在我国国民经济中具有非常重要的地位,其发展状况因所处地区、行业的不同而存在很大差别。从总体上看,制造业国有企业在投入产出能力、企业运营能力、盈利能力和偿债能力等方面都有待于提高。制造业中大型国有企业保持了良好增长态势。国家重点企业通过增加研究与开发投入,发展后劲显著增强。制造业中国有企业的数量在大幅度减少,其所占的比重持续下降,在制造业的不少小行业中,非国有企业已经取代了国有企业,成为行业中的主要力量。     

静载荷和疲劳载荷作用下 C/Al 正交层压板的力学响应

本文讨论静载荷及疲劳载荷作用下 C/Al 正交层压板的力学响应,并考虑损伤过程中的临界现象,以此作为结构设计准则的基础。对静载荷作用的情况:(1)90°铺层的门槛应变ε_(FPF)随着约束程度增加而增加,而且开裂后的行为也受约束程度的影响。(2)经历加载-卸载再重新加载至断裂的过程后,初始试样存在一个剩余永久变形,其损伤状态可以用刚度的变化来表征;而疲劳试样在加载-卸载过程中刚度变化很小,反映其损伤达到一个稳定的状态。对疲劳载荷作用的情况:(1)对于给定的应力比 R,试样会趋于与它所承受的 S_(max)最大值相应的 SDS 状态。循环应力范围的不断增大,会引起基体损伤的增加,从而重新建立新的饱和损伤状态。(2)对于每一损伤状态均有一对应的循环应变范围 Δε。在 SDS 状态下,Δε保持不变。(3)以刚度下降为损伤参数对 C/Al 层压板进行了降级应力分析,并由此来预计在ΔS_(sh)以下,层压板不会发生疲劳损伤累积。

A prediction method for thermal conductivity of alternative refrigerants in the liquid phase

A prediction method for the thermal conductivity of halocarbon refrigerants in the saturated liquid state in the reduced temperature range 0.3 to well above 0.9 is presented in this paper. The aim of the method is to present a very simple calculation of the transport property useful for engineering purposes. The method determines thermal conductivity as a sole function of the reduced temperature and requires the knowledge of a parameter dependent upon easily available physical constants characteristic of each compound. The method is validated against experimental data available in the literature, giving average absolute deviations which are usually less than 5%, with maximum absolute deviations generally less than 10%. An extension of the method to estimate thermal conductivity of binary mixtures is also presented, along with a comparison with the few experimental data available in the literature.Paper presented at the Twelfth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 19–24, 1994, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
