Adsorption of heterocyclic sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds by mesostructure adsorbent (MSU-S) and its modified form with cobalt oxide is studied using model fuel. The results of characteristic tests (XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, FTIR, and SEM) indicate that CoO impregnation causes a negative impact on mesoporous structure, crystalline phase, and particle shape along with a positive effect on surface ion exchange. CoO modification increased the adsorption loadings of DBT and BT to about 33.6% and 45.7%, respectively. For nitrogen compounds adsorption with the model fuel, adsorption loadings of quinoline and carbazole increase by 6.7% and 8.6%, respectively. Data fitting for carbazole, DBT, and BT is achieved better by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model, and the data of quinoline fitted very well to the Freundlich model for CoO-MSU-S. 相似文献
The safe design of piping systems in a nuclear power plant requires structural analysis for all specified static and dynamic loads, including fluid dynamic forces due to operational and loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) transients. For the reliable prediction of fluid forces, boundary conditions such as the characterisation of a closing isolation valve with the proper friction coefficient need to be carefully chosen.
A valve model is described which implicitly determines the downstroke of the valve piston. Pre- and postcalculations were performed for the valve closure tests carried out during start-up at the BWR nuclear power plant at Krümmel, West Germany. The dynamic friction coefficient in a valve is introduced and its influence on the fluid dynamic forcing function in piping systems is examined. 相似文献
In this letter, we consider a power allocation problem for digital subscriber line (DSL) systems. The goal of this problem is to minimize the total transmit power under some constraints on minimum data-rate and maximum transmit power for each modem where we take into account various sources of interference. We convert our problem into an auxiliary geometric programming (GP) which gives the optimum solution for transmit powers in a neighborhood of a given feasible point. Then, we use an iterative scheme for obtaining the solution to our original problem by exploiting this auxiliary GP problem. Numerical examples show that the proposed method outperforms the existing schemes. 相似文献
Time-dependent Maxwell's equations in differential and conservation form are solved numerically, and field components are computed for scattering and penetration involving arbitrary 2-D objects using upwind computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based techniques. The Lax-Wendroff explicit scheme, which is second-order accurate in time and space, is used. The object and surrounding space are divided into a number of zones, and the Cartesian coordinate system is converted to local body-fitted coordinate systems in those zones, to handle more conveniently arbitrary geometry cross sections as well as to facilitate implementation of the boundary conditions. The method of characteristic subpath integration, better known as the Riemann solver in CFD, is then applied to the transformed Maxwell's equations, yielding the solution for the field components in the time domain. Both steady-state and transient fields can be computed. A fast Fourier transform is used to obtain frequency-domain information. Both radar cross sections and near field distributions are presented for some canonical geometries 相似文献
The thawing effect due to backfilling in permafrost mining rocks is investigated. The heat transfer equation in rock and backfill is obtained by considering the effect of phase change, heat generation due to cement hydration and temperature dependent material properties. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume numerical method and the phase change phenomenon is modeled based on the manipulation of specific heat, thermal conductivity and density of rock and backfill. The harmonic mean method was employed to handle the change of thermal properties. The effects of different influential parameters such as cement content of backfill, water content of rock and backfill, thermal conductivity of rock and filling material, and the number of adjacent stopes are investigated. Eventually, using the resulting temperature and phase field, a new parameter regarded as the radius of thawing, is introduced. 相似文献
A search for genetic alterations within the XPG gene has been conducted on skin and blood cells cultured from a newly characterized xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patient (XP20BE). This patient is the ninth known case that falls into the extremely rare XP complementation group G. Four genetic markers within the XPG gene (including two polymorphisms) demonstrated the Mendelian distribution of this gene from the parents to the patient and to an unaffected sibling. The patient (XP20BE) inherited a G to T transversion from his father in exon 1 of the XPG gene that resulted in the conversion of a glutamic acid at codon 11 to a termination codon. The patient also inherited an XP-G allele from his mother that produces an unstable or poorly expressed message. The cause of the latter defect is still uncertain. In addition to these alterations, XP20BE cDNA contained an mRNA species with a large splicing defect that encompassed a deletion from exon 1 to exon 14. This splicing defect, however, appears to be a naturally occurring low-frequency event that results from abnormal splicing that occurs between certain conserved non-consensus splicing signals within the human XPG gene. 相似文献
This paper presents a study on the effects of the SMA wires’ characteristics on tuning the stability of a capacitive micro-resonator. In the proposed model, pre-strained SMA wires have been embedded in a double clamped resonant microbeam which is actuated electrostatically. The governing equations of the system have been introduced and then an eigen-value problem has been adopted to investigate stability. Galerkin-based numerical methods have been used to solve the governing equation of motion for obtaining the motion trajectories of the beam. The effects of the number of SMA wires, their diameter, pre-strain and temperature on the pull-in instability and frequency response of the resonator have been shown. Critical values of recovery stress and SMA temperature for avoiding instability, with and without applying DC voltage have been obtained. The results have shown that by changing each of the SMA parameters, one can reach a needed magnitude of recovery stress as well as transmitted longitudinal force to the host beam, and consequently control and tune the stability and resonance frequency of the micro-resonator.
