Structural,morphological, dielectric and magnetic properties of Zn-Zr co-doping yttrium iron garnet

In this study, yttrium iron garnet co-doped with Zn and Zr atoms with a chemical formula Y₃Zn_xZr_xFe_(5−2x)O₁₂ (x = 0.0-0.3) has been successfully prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The effects of doping concentration on the microstructure, crystal structure, magnetic properties, and dielectric properties of Y₃Zn_xZr_xFe_(5−2x)O₁₂ were investigated. The microstructure analysis indicates that co-doping of YIG with Zn and Zr can effectively reduce the grain size of the ceramic. The crystal structure results reveal that the doping concentration of Zn–Zr has substantial influence on the lattice parameters of YIG, such as, increases the lattice constant, crystal cell size, and interplanar spacing. However, the second phase of ZrO₂ appears once x ≥ 0.15. Additionally, the dielectric properties of YIG ferrite can be regulated using this Zn–Zr co-doping method. Zn–Zr co-doping can improve the dielectric stability and reduce the dielectric loss at high temperature. The magnetization measurement shows that the saturation magnetization is stabilized at x < 0.15, and the magnetic loss is decreased with the increase in the doping concentration. Overall, the findings show that the ceramic with x = 0.1 exhibits better properties included high saturation magnetization (24.607 emu/g), low magnetic loss (0.0025 @ 1 MHz), and relatively low dielectric loss (496 @ 400°C).     

Effect of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth behaviour of a near-α Ti alloy

Fatigue crack growth behaviour of Ti–6Al–2Zr–1.5Mo–1.5V (VT-20 a near-α Ti alloy) was studied in lamellar, bimodal and acicular microstructural conditions. Fatigue crack growth tests at both increasing and decreasing stress intensity factor range values were performed at ambient temperature and a loading ratio of 0.3 using compact tension samples. Lamellar and acicular microstructures showed lower fatigue crack growth rates as compared to the bimodal microstructure due to the tortuous nature of cracks in the former and the cleavage of primary α in the latter. The threshold stress intensity factor range was highest for acicular microstructure.     

动态高压微射流处理对方竹笋膳食纤维理化及结构特性的影响

以方竹笋中提取的膳食纤维为研究对象，采用动态高压微射流（dynamic high-pressure micro-fluidization, DHPM）在不同压力条件（0，50，100，150，200 MPa）下进行处理，探究其对竹笋膳食纤维（bamboo shoots dietary fiber, BSDF）理化和结构特性的影响。结果表明，随着处理压力的增大，BSDF粒径先增大后减小，当处理压力为150 MPa时，粒径最小，为（370±11） nm，此条件下BSDF的持水力、持油力和膨胀力达到最大，较对照组分别提高了47.74%，50.54%，61.27%，且差异显著（P<0.05）。红外光谱分析表明DHPM处理不会改变BSDF的官能团，但会使BSDF内部的部分氢键断裂和半纤维素、木质素等发生降解；X射线衍射和热重分析表明DHPM处理不会引起BSDF的晶体结构改变，但晶体有序度会下降，进而导致其热稳定性降低；微观结构分析显示DHPM处理会使BSDF颗粒尺寸减小、表面粗糙、组织松散，且当处理压力为200 MPa时，颗粒发生团聚。综上，DHPM可以有效改善BSDF的理化性质，在膳食纤维改性方面具有一定的应用价值。     

A first-principles investigation on mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides under pressure

The titanium carbides are potential candidates to achieve both high hardness and refractory property. We carried out a structural search for titanium carbides at three pressures of 0 GPa, 30 GPa and 50 GPa. A phase diagram of the Ti-C system at 0 K was obtained by elucidating formation enthalpies as a function of compositions, and their mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides were investigated systematically. We also discussed the relation of titanium concentration to the both mechanical and metallic properties of titanium carbides. It has been found that the average valence electron density and tractility improved at higher concentrations of titanium, while the degree of covalent bonding directionality decreased. To this effect, the hardness of titanium carbide decreases as the content of titanium increases. Our results indicated that the titanium content significantly affected the metallic properties of the Ti-C system.     

Stability and thermophysical properties of fly ash nanofluid for heat transfer applications

Improving the performance of heat transfer fluids is altogether significant. The best approach for improving the thermal conductivity is the addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid. In the present study, specific heat, dynamic viscosity, and thermal conductivity of water-based Indian coal fly ash stable nanofluid for 0.1% to 0.5% volume concentration in the temperature range of 30 to 60°C has been investigated. To evaluate an average particle diameter of 11.5 nm, the fly ash nanoparticles were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Using zeta potential, the stability of nanofluid in the presence of surfactant Triton X-100 was tested. Thermal conductivity and viscosity of fly ash nanofluid increased, while specific heat decreased as volume concentration increased. The effect of temperature on the fly ash nanofluid was directly proportional to its thermal conductivity and specific heat and inversely proportional to viscosity.

催化裂化装置沉降器内结焦物的基本特性分析及其形成过程的探讨

采用扫描电镜（SEM）和X射线能谱分析仪对催化裂化装置（FCCU）沉降器内结焦物的微观组织结构和成分进行了分析，将结焦物划分为软焦和硬焦。焦的硬度与油气液滴和催化剂颗粒的沉积过程有关，尤其是结焦部位的油气流动方式和催化剂颗粒的运动状态，决定着未汽化的重质油组分液滴和催化剂颗粒的沉积形式和沉积物的构成，从而影响着焦的软硬程度。软焦是催化剂颗粒或油气在油气静止空间以自由沉降和扩散方式堆积在器壁表面而产生的结焦，形成的焦块松散，易粉碎，含催化剂比较多，颗粒粒径比较大，是一种堆积型结焦；而硬焦是油气液滴和细小催化剂颗粒在油气流动状态下，在器壁表面的附面层内以沉积方式粘附在器壁表面形成的结焦，焦块质地坚硬，含催化剂比较少。颗粒粒径细小，足沉积型结焦。还有相当一部分结焦物介于软焦和硬焦之间。
