Numerical Study on Entropy Generation of the Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump

The energy loss of the multi-stage centrifugal pump was investigated by numerical analysis using the entropy generation method with the RNG k-ε turbulence model. Entropy generation due to time-averaged motion and velocity fluctuation was mainly considered. It was found that the entropy generation of guide vanes and impellers account for 71.2% and 23.3% of the total entropy generation under the designed flow condition. The guide vanes are the main hydraulic loss domains and their entropy generation is about 9 W/K, followed by impellers. There are vortices at the tongue of the guide vane inlet as well as flow separations in the impellers, which lead to entropy generation. The fluid impacts the outer surface of the guide vanes, resulting in the increase in entropy generation. There are refluxes near the guide vane tongues which also increase the entropy generation of this part. The entropy generation distribution of the guide vanes and impellers was investigated, which found that the positive guide vane has more entropy generation compared with the reverse guide. The entropy generation of the blade suction surface is higher compared with the pressure surface. This study indicated that the entropy generation method has distinct advantages in the assessment of hydraulic loss.     

文学：概念建构与娱乐主题的沉浮

现代文学概念并非与生俱来,而是现代性理论运作的产物。现代文学概念的定型至少要完成四个方面的理论建构：不同知识体系对接带来的理论扩展,经世致用思想传统的承传,文学语言问题的再认识,叙事文类进入文学视野的中心。相对于现代文学概念的标准涵义,娱乐是一个倍受压抑的主题。尽管遭到了启蒙与革命两种文学观念的强大抵制,但是,作为审美愉悦的一个组成部分,娱乐主题顽强地存留于大众之中。20世纪80年代之后,娱乐主题在“文化产业”的名义下声势浩大地回归,并且获得经济效益参与的评价体系大力支持。对于现代文学概念说来,娱乐主题的重现意味了多方面的理论挑战：娱乐主题的位置,经典与“雅/俗”,大众的构成,商业、市场、传媒体系与文学。这些问题相互联系,持续发酵。现代文学概念应当开启多维的对话与争论,以主动的姿态回应现代社会制造的种种历史境遇。

Isolation and Structural Study on Carbohydrates from Cynanchum otophyllum and Cynanchum paniculatum

Three new carbohydrates were isolated from the acidic hydrolysis part of the ethyl acetate extract of Cynanchum otophyllum Schneid (Asclepiadaceae) and one new carbohydrate from the ethyl acetate extract of Cynanchum paniculatum Kitagawa. Their structures were determined as methyl 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-deoxy-3-O-methyl-β-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (1), ethyl 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-β-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-l-lyxo-hexopyranoside (2), met hyl 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-l-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-β-D-lyxo-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (3), and 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-β-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-d-arabino-hexopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α -d-arabino-hexopyranose (4), respectively, by spectral methods.     

Highly efficient oxidation of 2-imidazoline-5-carboxylic derivatives to imidazole-5-carboxylic derivatives by dioxygen

A highly efficient and environmental-benign oxidation by dioxygen (or air) as the sole oxidant was first applied for the conversion of 2-imidazoline-5-carboxylic derivatives to imidazole-5-carboxylic derivatives in very good and excellent yields. The substituent effect on 2-imidazoline ring was investigated. This protocol was also suitable for the synthesis of 2-imidazoles in relatively large scale.     

Polymeric ytterbium(ii) complex with pyridyl amido ligands

The reaction of potassium pyridyl amido ligand {L = [N(R)(2-C5H3N-6-Me)]–, R = CH2But} with YbI2(thf)2 afforded the linear polymeric complex [K0.5(L)3YbiiK0.5]n, which was characterized by X-ray structure analysis.
