Effect of Agglomeration on Mechanical Properties of Porous Zirconia Fabricated by Partial Sintering

Porous ZrO₂ ceramics were fabricated by compacting a fine ZrO₂ powder, followed by pressureless sintering. Two unidirectional pressures of 30 and 75 MPa were used to prepare the green compacts. The strength and the fracture toughness of porous ZrO₂ specimens sintered from the compacts prepared by 75 MPa were substantially higher than those by 30 MPa, especially for the specimens with low porosity. However, the corresponding Young's moduli were identical. This caused the strain to failure of these porous bodies to increase significantly with increasing compaction pressure. Microstructural analyses showed that a number of voids and small flaws existed in the green compacts prepared by the lower pressure, due to the agglomeration of fine ZrO₂ grains. It was revealed that the ZrO₂ agglomeration resulted in a localized nonuniform shrinkage and degraded the mechanical properties of porous ZrO₂ ceramics.     

Fatty acid esterification by reactive distillation: Part 2—kinetics-based design for sulphated zirconia catalysts

In a previous study on the basis of reaction equilibrium, it was demonstrated that the synthesis of fatty acids esters of heavy alcohols by catalytic reactive distillation (RD) is basically feasible. Presently, the analysis is expanded to the kinetics-based design applied to the synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl dodecanoate. Experimental data for a super-acidic sulphated zirconia catalyst are employed. It is shown that this catalyst is highly selective even for the high alcohol/acid ratios as prevail in a RD column. To avoid catalyst deactivation, liquid-liquid segregation into an organic and an aqueous phase must be prevented, and operating temperatures beyond must be chosen. A kinetic model based on liquid activities is proposed, with parameters determined from both kinetic and equilibrium measurements. A typical column design has 13 reactive stages with a catalyst loading of , temperature profile of 400-, and a space velocity of for 99.9% purity product ester. A modified Damköhler number is proposed.

Al2TiO5-ZrTiO4-ZrO2 Composites: A New Family of Low-Thermal-Expansion Ceramics

The characterization and properties of ceramic composites containing the phases Al₂TiO₅, ZrTiO₄, and ZrO₂ are described. The range of compositions investigated gives very low average thermal expansions (α_24–1000°C as low as −2.0 × 10⁻⁶°C⁻¹) and excellent high-temperature stability. The low thermal expansions are apparently due to a combination of microcracking by the titanate phases and a contractive phase transformation by the ZrO₂. The crystal chemistry and microstructure of the product are processing dependent. Although the composites represent a complex microcracking system, the low thermal expansions and high-temperature stability make them potential candidates for commercial applications requiring thermal shock resistance.     

自适应收扩系数的双中心协作QPSO算法

针对量子粒子群优化(QPSO)算法迭代后期种群多样性下降、收敛速度慢、易陷入局部最优的缺点,提出一种自适应收缩-扩张系数的双中心协作最子粒子群优化算法。该算法从2个方面进行改进:(1)自适应调节收缩-扩张系数,其目的是帮助粒子跳出局部最优点,提高粒子的全局搜索能力;(2)双重更新全局最优位置,即在每次迭代中,先后分别采用2种不同的方式更新全局最优位置。第1种方式与QPSO算法一致,第2种方式则引入双中心粒子,使其和当前全局最优位置在相应维度上合作,从而达到更新全局最优位置的目的。从固定迭代次数和固定精度角度分析算法性能,仿真结果表明,相比于QPSO算法,该算法在保证复杂度较低的情况下,可提高收敛速度,增强全局和局部搜索能力。

一种基于混合量子粒子群的快速运动目标跟踪算法研究

量子粒子群算法在优化过程中需要权衡局部探索性和全局开拓性,进化后期由于全局开拓能力的丧失使得种群多样性减少,设计了一种基于欧式距离的混合量子粒子群算法,通过计算粒子的种群多样性,当种群多样性低于阈值范围时加入基于欧式距离的种群划分策略划分子种群,从而保证获得全局最优解。利用标准测试函数验证提出的混合量子群算法有效性。提出了基于混合量子粒子群的Mean Shift算法(HQPSO Mean Shift)完成目标快速跟踪,克服传统Mean Shift算法的在跟踪快速移动目标时出现"跟丢"的问题。     

SYNTHESIS OF ACICULAR GOETHITE PARTICLES BY OXIDATION OF AQUEOUS FERROUS HYDROXIDE SUSPENSION IN A BUBBLE COLUMN WITH DRAFT TUBE

Acicular goethite particles were synthesized by oxidation of an alkaline suspension of ferrous hydroxide using a bubble column with draft tubes of different diameters at a constant temperature of 40°C. The oxidation rate increased with decreasing draft tube diameter. The mean size based on the major axis of acicular particle decreased with increasing oxidation rate and decreasing draft tube diameter. The major axis was found to grow preferentially compared with the minor axis. The mean size of major axis was correlated well to the modified reaction rate defined as a product of the reaction rate per unit volume of the reactor multiplied by the ratio of the column diameter to the draft tube diameter, irrespective of the draft tube diameter.
