Experimental research on inorganic solidified foam for sealing air leakage in coal mines

In order to efficiently seal air leakages and control spontaneous combustion of coal, solidified foam was developed by adding a certain compound additive to fly coal ash and cement as the main materials. It was prepared basing on the foaming characteristic through physical and mechanical system. We studied the effects of the different types of foaming agents, the mass ratio of cement to fly ash, and the mass ratio of solid to water and content of cellulose on the performance of solidified foam. The results show that when adding the composite protein, surfactant and cellulose foaming agents. The cement-fly ash ratio of 0.75:1, the water solid ratio as large as 2:1, and the solidified foam with high properties and density of only 516 kg/m³ and compressive strength of up to 12.68 MPa were prepared. But the initial setting time, identity and compressive strength may be changed by varying the water solid ratio and/or the additives. We theoretically analyzed the influence mechanism of foam density, compressive strength and water solid ratio. The solidified foam is especially suitable for sealing surface leakage channels and filling the goaf with a wide application prospects.

A method for predicting the risk of virtual crashes in a simulated driving task using behavioural and subjective drowsiness measures

Abstract

This study proposed a procedure for predicting the point in time with high risk of virtual crash using a control chart methodology for behavioural measures during a simulated driving task. Tracking error, human back pressure, sitting pressure and horizontal and vertical neck bending angles were measured during the simulated driving task. The time with a high risk of a virtual crash occurred in 9 out of 10 participants. The time interval between the successfully detected point in time with high risk of virtual crash and the point in time of virtual crash ranged from 80 to 324 s. The proposed procedure for predicting the point in time with a high risk of a crash is promising for warning drivers of the state of high risk of crash.

Practitioner Summary: Many fatal crashes occur due to drowsy driving. We proposed a method to predict the point in time with high risk of virtual crash before such a virtual crash occurs. This is done using behavioural measures during a simulated driving task. The effectiveness of the method is also demonstrated.     

Musculoskeletal disorder risk during automotive assembly: current vs. seated

Musculoskeletal disorder risk was assessed during automotive assembly processes. The risk associated with current assembly processes was compared to using a cantilever chair intervention. Spine loads and normalized shoulder muscle activity were evaluated during assembly in eight regions of the vehicle. Eight interior cabin regions of the vehicle were classified by reach distance, height from vehicle floor and front to back. The cantilever chair intervention tool was most effective in the far reach regions regardless of the height. In the front far reach regions both spine loads and normalized shoulder muscle activity levels were reduced. In the middle and close reach regions spine loads were reduced, however, shoulder muscle activity was not, thus an additional intervention would be necessary to reduce shoulder risk. In the back far reach region, spine loads were not significantly different between the current and cantilever chair conditions. Thus, the effectiveness of the cantilever chair was dependent on the region of the vehicle.     

Learning to make errors: evidence from a driving task simulation

Human errors represent a mismatch between the demands of an operational system and what the operator does. If they cannot be reversed, their consequences may be severe. Errors are frequently classified as design-or operator-induced. A third class of errors may also be identified, namely process-induced errors. Such errors arise out of on-going processes which typically extend over time. One such process is that of learning. In relation to the acquisition of skills, for example, learning frequently involves a trial-and-error component. Accidents by inexperienced drivers may represent a severe consequence of such errors. Errors may also arise out of particular learning experiences which provide a distorted underestimate of objective risk and/or motivate high risk behaviour. These phenomena are investigated in a computer simulation of the driving task. The relationship is discussed between various kinds of learning experience and the development of situations in which the possibility of error recovery declines. Some suggestions for reducing the frequency of irreversible errors and for increasing the data base for human error in vehicle driving are made.

Destruction of trichloroethylene (TCE) and trichloromethane (TCM) in the presence of selected VOCs over Pt-Pd-based catalyst

Catalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE) and trichloromethane (TCM) oxidized alone and in two-component mixtures with selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, n-hexane, ethanol or acetone was investigated over a Pt-Pd-based catalyst on a monolithic, metallic, γ-Al₂O₃-washcoated support. TCE and TCM were more difficult to oxidize than VOCs and temperatures of their 50% conversion (T_50%) amouted to 420 and 330 °C, respectively. All the VOCs added were found to enhance the conversion of the two chlorinated compounds, drecreasing T_50% by 20 °C, at the most, for TCM in the presence of toluene and by 50 °C for TCE in the presence of acetone. Both the chlorinated compounds lowered the conversion of the VOCs added (except that of toluene), and this lowering was particularly distinct with n-heptane; they also raised the concentration of acetaldehyde formed during the oxidation of oxyderivative compounds.     

NOX removal in excess oxygen by plasma-enhanced selective catalytic reduction

In the off-gases of internal combustion engines running with oxygen excess, non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) have an oxidative potential, which results in an effective conversion of NO to NO₂. In combination with appropriate catalysts and ammonia (NH₃-SCR) or hydrocarbons (HC-SCR) as a reducing agent, this can be utilized to reduce nitric oxides (NO and NO₂) synergistically to molecular nitrogen.

The combination of SCR and cold plasma enhanced the overall reaction rate and allowed an effective removal of NO_X at low temperatures. Using NH₃ as a reducing agent, NO_X was converted to N₂ on zeolites or NH₃-SCR catalysts like V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂ at temperatures as low as 100–200 °C. Significant synergetic effects of plasma and catalyst treatment were observed both for NH₃ stored by ion exchange on the zeolite and for continuous NH₃ supply.

Certain modifications of Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂ have been found to be effective as catalysts in the plasma-assisted HC-SCR in oxygen excess. With an energy supply of about 30 eV/NO-molecule, 500 ppm NO was reduced by more than half at a temperature of 300 °C and a space velocity of 20 000 h⁻¹ at the catalyst. The synergistic combinations of NTP and both NH₃- and HC-SCR have been verified under real diesel engine exhaust conditions.
