Electrochemical performance of gel-cast NiO-SDC composite anodes in low-temperature SOFCs

NiO-Ce_0.8Sm_0.2O_1.9 (SDC) composites were synthesized using gel-casting technique. The electrochemical performance of the gel-cast (GC) Ni-SDC cermet as anode was investigated contrast with that fabricated from traditional mechanical mixing (MM) technique using fuel cells with about 35 μm-thick SDC electrolyte and Sm_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃-SDC cathode. Maximum power density of the cell with GC anode achieved 491 mW cm⁻² at 600 °C, over 100 mW cm⁻² larger than that with MM anode, inferring high catalytic activity of the GC anode. Impedance measurements on the fuel cell at open circuit showed that the anodic interfacial polarization resistance of the GC anode was 0.1 Ω cm² lower than that of the MM anode. Long-term stability of the cell with GC anode in hydrogen was also performed, which showed that it can stabilize at least 7 days.     

Evaluation of the performance of tight-UF membranes with respect to NOM removal using effective MWCO, molecular weight, and apparent diffusivity of NOM

Concepts for the effective MWCO of tight-UF membranes, and apparent diffusion coefficients for NOM, were introduced to determine the mechanisms influencing NOM removal and to explain the various behaviors of NOM removal by UF membranes with different hydrophobicities, permeability, and surface charges. Colloidal NOM (COM) and non-colloidal hydrophobic NOM (NCD HP) constituents were chosen for the evaluation of two different UF membranes. For a relatively hydrophobic, relatively high permeability, and less negatively charged UF membrane, the hydrophobic fractions of COM were preferentially removed and were also removed by a size exclusion mechanism (i.e., both hydrophobic interaction and size exclusion mechanisms). The NCD HP exhibited no such preferential removal of the hydrophobic fractions, but could be removed by a size exclusion mechanism (i.e., only size exclusion mechanism). With a relatively hydrophilic, relatively low permeability, and more negatively charged UF membrane, COM exhibited no preferential removal of the hydrophobic fractions, but could be removed by a size exclusion mechanism (i.e., only size exclusion mechanism). Whereas the hydrophobic fractions of the NCD HP were preferentially removed, these could not be removed by a size exclusion mechanism (i.e., only hydrophobic interaction mechanism). The apparent diffusion coefficients of NOM, as determined from NOM diffusion experiments using a diffusion cell equipped with a regenerated cellulose membrane, were much lower than those calculated by the Stokes-Einstein relation. The diffusion coefficient of NOM is expected to be used to predict and explain NOM transport behaviors in tight-UF membranes.     

APPLICATION OF LINEARIZED MODELS OF MULTICOMPONENT MASS TRANSFER FOR CALCULATION OF EVAPORATION-CONDENSATION PROCESS IN TERNARY SYSTEMS

Results of calculations based on a linearized multicomponent mass transfer theory developed by Burghardt and Krupiczka are compared with experimental data of Modine for condensation-evaporation process in ternary systems. These data have been obtained for acetone-benzene-nitrogen and acetone-benzene-helium in a welted wall column. Models I and II, which take into account diffusional interactions of components in a mullicomponent mixture show good agreement with the experiments as well as with other calculation methods (Krishna-Standart and Toor-Stewart-Prober). When multicomponent mass transfer occurs in the presence of inert species, a straightforward Model II is recommended. Model I, which is more universal, requires some iterative calculations with respect to the sum of mass fluxes. According to theoretical considerations the latter model is limited to the case of low total mass flux. The results of calculations for the systems studied were reasonably good though the total mass fluxes were not small. The calculation procedure based on the presented linearized models are convergent to the proper solutions in contrast to the Krishna-Standart Model IV which in some cases can be unstable.     

基于微观孔隙通道的饱和/非饱和土渗透系数模型及其应用

从微观角度揭示土体变形对饱和/非饱和渗透系数的影响机理,建立相应的预测方法,对于饱和/非饱和土的渗流分析及水力耦合研究具有重要的科学意义。利用流体力学理论,建立了微观孔隙通道渗透系数与等效孔径的关系,在此基础之上,结合毛细理论建立了饱和/非饱和渗透系数与土-水特征曲线的关系模型,并利用已有试验数据验证了模型的合理性。结合该模型与变形条件下土-水特征曲线预测方法,对变形条件下武汉黏性土饱和/非饱和渗透系数进行预测,结果表明黏性土在压缩变形条件下:饱和渗透系数呈数量级的减小,预测值与实测值均吻合较好;双对数坐标下,非饱和相对渗透系数在进气值之后随基质吸力增加而减小,不同初始孔隙比条件下其斜率近似不变,整体呈现"毛刷型"分布,相同基质吸力条件下,初始孔隙比越小,相对渗透系数越大;非饱和渗透系数,进气值之前近似为饱和渗透系数,进气值之后随基质吸力增大而减小,不同初始孔隙比的变化线近似重合。     

Some novel polymer-supported optically active phase transfer catalysts: 2. Use in displacement,reduction, epoxidation and addition reactions

The performance of 27 novel polymer-supported chiral phase transfer catalysts in a range of phase separated reactions has been studied. The later include a number of displacement reactions, sodium borohydride reductions of prochiral ketones, the epoxidation of chalcone, the addition of nitromethane to chalcone and the addition of thiophenol to cyclohexenone. Some of the reactions were performed under liquid/liquid conditions and others using solid/liquid. No systematic difference emerged between these. In general many of the catalysts provided fast reactions and good chemical yields of products. However, in no case was any significant enantiomeric excess achieved. The latter observation is discussed in the light of the reported behaviour of analogous non-supported catalytic systems, and suggestions proposed to explain these differences.

库水升降速率对老蛇窝滑坡稳定性影响分析

通过监测资料分析和滑坡稳定性数值计算,探讨了三峡库水位在不同升降速率下对老蛇窝滑坡稳定性的影响规律。研究结果表明,理论上库水位上升有利于老蛇窝滑坡的稳定,但实际运行中库水位上升是不利于滑坡稳定的,因为库水浸泡会使滑坡前缘塌岸;老蛇窝滑坡为动水压力型滑坡,最主要诱发因素为库水位的下(骤)降;老蛇窝滑坡稳定性的临界库水位调度速率为0.9 m/d,即当库水位下降速率大于0.9 m/d时,滑坡K值小于1。
