In reliability analysis, the stress-strength model is often used to describe the life of
a component which has a random strength (X) and is subjected to a random stress (Y). In this
paper, we considered the problem of estimating the reliability R=P [Y<X] when the
distributions of both stress and strength are independent and follow exponentiated Pareto
distribution. The maximum likelihood estimator of the stress strength reliability is calculated
under simple random sample, ranked set sampling and median ranked set sampling methods.
Four different reliability estimators under median ranked set sampling are derived. Two
estimators are obtained when both strength and stress have an odd or an even set size. The
two other estimators are obtained when the strength has an odd size and the stress has an
even set size and vice versa. The performances of the suggested estimators are compared
with their competitors under simple random sample via a simulation study. The simulation
study revealed that the stress strength reliability estimates based on ranked set sampling and
median ranked set sampling are more efficient than their competitors via simple random
sample. In general, the stress strength reliability estimates based on median ranked set
sampling are smaller than the corresponding estimates under ranked set sampling and simple
random sample methods. 相似文献
The vast chemical and structural tunability of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are beginning to be harnessed as functional supports for catalytic nanoparticles spanning a range of applications. However, a lack of straightforward methods for producing nanoparticle-encapsulated MOFs as efficient heterogeneous catalysts limits their usage. Herein, a mixed-metal MOF, NiMg-MOF-74, is utilized as a template to disperse small Ni nanoclusters throughout the parent MOF. By exploiting the difference in Ni O and Mg O coordination bond strength, Ni2+ is selectively reduced to form highly dispersed Ni nanoclusters constrained by the parent MOF pore diameter, while Mg2+ remains coordinated in the framework. By varying the ratio of Ni to Mg in the parent MOF, accessible surface area and crystallinity can be tuned upon thermal treatment, influencing CO2 adsorption capacity and hydrogenation selectivity. The resulting Ni nanoclusters prove to be an active catalyst for CO2 methanation and are examined using extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By preserving a segment of the Mg2+-containing MOF framework, the composite system retains a portion of its CO2 adsorption capacity while continuing to deliver catalytic activity. The approach is thus critical for designing materials that can bridge the gap between carbon capture and CO2 utilization. 相似文献

A comparative photocatalytic analysis was carried out on TiO2 made in a Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) process and flame-made Degussa P25. Both have similar crystallinity, phase composition,
phase segregation and a non-porous surface. Hence comparison was made based on their difference in specific surface area,
organic adsorption and the amount of OH• generated upon illumination. The photocatalytic activity tests were carried out using
the following series of organic compounds: sucrose, glucose, fructose, maleic acid, glyoxylic acid, oxalic acid, isobutyric
acid, phenol and methanol. FSP-made TiO2 outperformed P25 for saccharides mineralisation, while for phenol and methanol mineralisation P25 was better than FSP-made
TiO2. Similar mineralisation rates were observed for both FSP-made and P25 TiO2 for the mineralisation of carboxylic acids. This shows that the relative performance of the photocatalysts depends on the
type of organic compounds to be degraded. The high surface area and possibly a more efficient interfacial charge transfer
of FSP-made TiO2 provided an efficient pathway for saccharides mineralisation. As for phenol and methanol, the mineralisation rates were higher
when using P25 due to the greater amount of OH• radicals generated by this photocatalyst. The fast mineralisation rates of
carboxylic acids made degradation of these organic compounds to be less affected by the TiO2 photocatalyst properties and conditions tested in this work. 相似文献
The catalytic filter, V2O5-WO3-TiO2 supported on a ceramic filter, is known as a promising material for treating particulates and NOx simultaneously at optimum temperatures around 320°C. In order to improve its catalytic activity at low temperatures, the
effect of Pt addition on the catalytic filter has been investigated. Catalytic filters, Pt-V2O5-WO3-TiO2/SiC, were prepared by co-impregnation of Pt, V, and W precursors on TiO2 coated-SiC filter by vacuum aided-dip coating. The Pt-added catalytic filter shifted the optimum working temperature from
280–330°C (for the non Pt-impregnated filter) to 180–230°C, providing Nx slip concentration less than 20 ppm for the treatment of 700 ppm NO at a face velocity of 2 cm/s with the same value over
the non Pt-added catalytic filters. The promotional effect following the addition of Pt is believed to result from electrical
modification of the catalyst maintaining a high electron transfer state. Ammonia oxidation was also observed to be dominant
above the optimal temperature for SCR. 相似文献
The effect of shear on floc properties was observed through population balance to comprehend the mechanisms of flocculation, in particular the role of restructuring. Little fundamental attention has been given before to the shear influence responsible for creating compact aggregates, while the floc characteristics might differ in other conditions. It is crucial to understand how aggregates evolve to steady state, if their properties are to be ‘tailored’ to suit subsequent solid-liquid separation. From a previous experimental study (Langmuir 18(6) (2002) 1974), restructuring was observed to occur extensively in the flocculation of latex particles in couette-flow, and was proposed to be responsible for the decrease in floc size on their transition to equilibrium. On the other hand, flocs of larger primary particles were more susceptible to breakage, with densification occurring as a result of fragmentation and re-aggregation. Denser flocs were found when structural deformation dominated, particularly in the initial stage of the process, while comparatively tenuous ones were observed when formation and breakage kinetics were the governing mechanisms. The distinct manners in which aggregates of different primary particle sizes evolved with time, were replicated with a population balance that incorporated the floc structural variation; verifying that restructuring indeed played a crucial role under certain flocculation conditions. 相似文献
The effects of platinum (Pt) and silver (Ag) metallisation in the photocatalytic oxidation of resorcinol at pH 3 ± 0.5 have been investigated. The photocatalytic degradation of resorcinol was significantly improved by Pt/TiO2, while the presence of Ag/TiO2 enhanced the initial photocatalytic degradation rate of resorcinol slightly. Likewise, the photocatalytic mineralisation of resorcinol continued to be enhanced by Pt/TiO2, but it was retarded when Ag/TiO2 was used.
The function of Pt and Ag deposits on the surface of TiO2 has been found to be markedly influenced by the interaction of resorcinol and its degradation products with the metal deposits. The presence of Pt or Ag on the surface of TiO2 altered the distribution of degradation products of resorcinol as well as the production of photoactive species for the photocatalytic oxidation of resorcinol. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses have indicated that the contrasting effect of Pt and Ag deposits were governed by the oxidation states and the catalytic property of metal deposits. In addition to that, it has been found that the roles of metal deposits are specific and should not be generalised. 相似文献
In a competitive business environment, the textile industrialists intend to propose diversified products according to consumers
preference. For this purpose, the integration of sensory attributes in the process parameters choice seems to be a useful
alternative. This paper provides fuzzy and neural models for the prediction of sensory properties from production parameters
of knitted fabrics. The prediction accuracy of these models was evaluated using both the root mean square error (RMSE) and
mean relative percent error (MRPE). The results revealed the models ability to predict tactile sensory attributes based on
the production parameters. The comparison of the prediction performances showed that the neural models are slightly powerful
than the fuzzy models. 相似文献
