A helical drive in-pipe robot based on compound planetary gearing

The modern society is fuelled by very comprehensive grids of gas and liquid pipelines. In recent years, various in-pipe robots have been developed for inspection and maintenance tasks inside such pipes. In this paper, a novel in-pipe robot is proposed and developed for gas/oil well interventions at thousands of meters downhole. Due to the nature of such intervention, in-pipe robot design must be capable of carrying a very large payload, as large as 2500?N inside a pipe with diameter as small as 54?mm. The proposed design concept is based on a compound planetary gearing system. One of the major novelties of this design is the use of pipe wall as a ring gear for one stage of the compound planetary gear system; the other novelty is the generation of helical angle when the planetary gears are expanded to press on the pipe wall. The proposed concept is compact, efficient, and has never been reported before. In this paper, the helical angle, the velocity, and load capability of the proposed system will be analyzed. The load transportation capability of the proposed robot is also measured based on an experiment. Initial data have shown great potential in carrying large payloads.

Predicting N mineralized in a Georgia Coastal Plain field

The N mineralized from soil organic matter provides an important portion of N available for crop production. The objective of this study was to determine the amount of spatial variability in N mineralization potential in a field and to evaluate three different methods that might be used to estimate this variability. The three methods tested included predicting the N mineralized from surface soil properties as well as from a biological and a chemical procedure. Three soils varying in N mineralization potential were selected for the study from a field in the Georgia Coastal Plain. The N mineralized from these soils was determined by an N balance of unfertilized and cropped plots. The amount of N mineralized could not be reliably predicted from surface soil organic C, although surface soil clay concentration was positively correlated with the N mineralized. The N mineralized that was predicted using mineralization parameters determined by aerobic incubation, adjusted daily for soil water content and temperature, was approximately 50% of the field measurements of N mineralized. The values of NH₄-N extracted with hot 2 M KCl were related significantly to N mineralized in the field (r²= 0.60) and also to the zero order rate constant of mineralization, k₀ (r²= 0.77), determined from the N mineralized in the aerobic laboratory incubation.

负离子分解室内有机化合物的测试

低浓度、高毒性的挥发性有机化合物(VOC)污染大气,造成“病态建筑综合症(SBS)”,严重威胁着人们的身体健康。空气中的负离子除有利于人体生理健康以外,还能有效分解空气中的VOC。将一种负离子添加剂添加到墙体涂料中,可以得到一种能有效释放负离子的涂料。本文测试了涂刷负离子添加剂涂料的测试小室中负离子分解总挥发性有机化合物(TVOC)及甲醛的性能,结果证明:涂料释放的负离子能有效分解VOC,使室内VOC的浓度在较短时间内满足GB/T—18883—2002的要求。

带取代基硝酮化合物光环化反应的研究

本工作合成了一系列取代的硝酮类化合物。其中部分化合物仅一侧的苯环上带有取代基,而另部分化合物则两个苯环上均带有取代基。研究工作表明:取代基处于一侧的硝酮类化合物,不论取代基是给出电子或接受电子的,均有利于化合物光环化反应的进行。而当两个苯环分别带有给电子及接受电子的取代基形成推拉结构时,则大大减弱了化合物光环化反应的发生。文章对上述结果进行了初步讨论。     

基于MPI高性能计算的方法研究

并行处理在计算能力方面与单处理器的串行处理相比有着无可比拟的优势。个人计算机和网络成本的下降使得使用分布式系统进行并行处理的现象越来越普遍,而分布式网络系统中多采用MPI作为并行编程标准。为了减少程序运行时间,改善MPI计算的性能,负载均衡方法尤为重要,本文提出一种在MPI并行处理中负载均衡的方法,可以按照节点的计算能力和负载情况,在节点之间分配和迁移任务。实验表明,本文提出的方法可有效提高MPI并行处理的性能。
