Study on single and binary catalytic systems of pyridine-imine catalysts based on nickel and iron in synthesis of reactor blends and low-density polyethylene nanocomposites

In the presence of modified methylaluminoxane as cocatalyst, the behavior of a binary catalytic system based on pyridine-imine nickel ( N ) and iron ( F ) catalysts was evaluated in order to reach a proper mixture of polyethylene (PE). A computational study along with kinetic profile suggested that the catalyst F with higher electron affinity (A) and electrophilicity (ω) in the methyl cationic active center and stronger interaction with the monomer led to high integrated monomer consumption and higher activity. In addition, the samples produced by the mixture of catalysts showed a higher value of [19.4 × 10⁴ g (PE) mol (Fe+Ni)⁻¹ h⁻¹)], melting point (127.8 °C), and crystallinity extent (41.29%) than the samples produced by the single catalysts. The addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into the polymerization media reduced the activity of catalysts [from 7.50 × 10⁴ to 0.66 × 10⁴ g (PE) mol (Fe+Ni)⁻¹ h⁻¹] and the thermal properties of the low-density polyethylene nanocomposite samples. However, the sample containing 2.33% MWCNT_20-30 improved the total thermal stability of the neat polyethylene blend up to 400 °C. Scanning electron microscope images of the samples demonstrated irregular to virtually uniform morphologies were obtained through the in situ and solution-mixing techniques. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the modeling of bending responses of graphene-reinforced higher order annular plate via two-dimensional continuum mechanics approach

This research presents bending responses of FG-GPLRC plates based upon higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for various sets of boundary conditions. The rule of the mixture and modified Halpin–Tsai model are engaged to provide the effective material constant of the composite layers. By employing Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of the structure are derived and solved with the aid of the differential quadrature method (DQM). Afterward, a parametric study is done to present the effects of three kinds of FG patterns, weight fraction of the GPLs, radius ratio, and thickness to inner radius ratio on the bending characteristics of the FG-GPLRC disk. Numerical results reveal that in the initial value of the \(Zt/h\), using more GPLs for reinforcing the structure provides an increase in the normal stresses but this matter is inverse for the higher value of the \(Zt/h\). The results show that considering the smaller radius ratio is a reason for boosting the shear stresses of the structure for each \(Zt/h\). Another consequence is that for the negative value of \(Zt/h\), it is true that by increasing \(h/{R}_{i}\) , the normal stresses increases but if there is positive value for \(Zt/h\), the radial and circumferential stresses fall down by having an increase in the \(h/{R}_{i}\).

Three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter based on the SOGI filter and Lyapunov function for DC bus control

The three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) was developed to suppress the harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads, and for the compensation of unbalanced nonlinear load currents, reactive power, and the harmonic neutral current. In this work, we consider instantaneous reactive power theory (PQ theory) for reference current identification based on the following two algorithms: the classic low-pass filter (LPF) and the second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) filter. Furthermore, since an important process in SAPF control is the regulation of the DC bus voltage at the capacitor, a new controller based on the Lyapunov function is also proposed. A complete simulation of the resultant active filtering system confirms its validity, which uses the SOGI filter to extract the reference currents from the distorted line currents, compared with the traditional PQ theory based on LPF. In addition, the simulation performed also demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach, for DC bus voltage control based on the Lyapunov function, compared with the traditional proportional-integral (PI) controller. Both novel approaches contribute towards an improvement in the overall performance of the system, which consists of a small rise and settling time, a very low or nonexistent overshoot, and the minimization of the total harmonic distortion (THD).     

Appraisal of Agriglass in Promoting Maize Production Under Abiotic Stress Conditions

An agriglass composition containing different oxides acts as a slow release for macro and micro nutrients and was chosen to improve maize yield under most important abiotic stresses which affecting agriculture development; salinity and drought. A field experiment was performed in salt affected soil (EC =?7.5 dSm^??1) by using different water deficit rates (I1 = 100, I2 = 85 and I3 = 70% of maize water requirements). Irrigation levels were located in main plots. Every main-plot divided into six sub-plots contained glassy fertilizer treatments [F1 = 55 kg fed^?1 with 1/2 mm diameter of agriglass (fed. =?4200 m²), F2 = 55 kg fed^?1 with 1 mm diameter, F3 = 80 kg fed^?1 with 1/2 mm diameter, F4 = 80 kg fed^?1 with 1 mm diameter, F5 = Recommendations of Ministry of Agriculture and F6 = control]. The experimental results demonstrated that, ears, straw, grains and biological yields increased with increasing both water and agriglass rates. Application of agriglass as a slow release fertilizer improved yield more than mineral fertilizer. Some growth parameters, water use efficiency (IWUE), macronutrients concentration and their relations were included. Other studies on residual effect of agriglass and the annual application rates to withstand salinity and drought stress by strategic crops are required.
