Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Purge Flow and Main Flow Interaction in a Low-Speed Turbine Cascade Passage

In order to protect the vulnerable turbine components from extreme high temperature, coolant flow is introduced from the compressor to the disk cavity, inevitably interacting with the main flow. This paper describes an experimental investigation of the interaction between the main flow and the purge flow in a low-speed turbine cascade with three purge flow rates, Cm = 0, Cm = 1%, and Cm = 2%. In order to study the effect of the interaction between the main flow and the purge flow on the secondary flows, a Rortex method developed by Liu Chaoquan is introduced to identify the vortex in the flow field. In the meantime, a method to calculate the mean entropy production rate based on the particle image velocimetry (PIV) result is adopted to investigate the flow loss. The PIV result indicates that the purge flow has a prominent impact on the flow field of the cascade passage, changing the velocity distribution that induces a local blockage area. The results of vortex identification show that the purge flow promotes the generation of the passage vortex near the suction side. In addition, the purge flow makes the passage vortex migrate to the tip wall direction, enlarging the region affected by the secondary flow. The mean entropy production (MEP) result shows that the flow loss is mainly caused by the passage vortex. The coincidence of the high-MEP region and the location of the passage vortex indicates that the purge flow increases the secondary flow loss by affecting the formation and the migration of the passage vortex.     

Relationship between the radial dynamics and the chemical production of a harmonically driven spherical bubble

The sonochemical activity and the radial dynamics of a harmonically excited spherical bubble are investigated numerically. A detailed model is employed capable to calculate the chemical production inside the bubble placed in water that is saturated with oxygen. Parameter studies are performed with the control parameters of the pressure amplitude, the forcing frequency and the bubble size. Three different definitions of collapse strengths (extracted from the radius vs. time curves) are examined and compared with the chemical output of various species. A mathematical formula is established to estimate the chemical output as a function of the collapse strength; thus, the chemical activity can be predicted without taking into account the chemical kinetics into the bubble model. The calculations are carried out by an in-house code exploiting the high processing power of professional graphics cards (GPUs).The results shown that chemical activity can be approximated qualitatively from the values of relative expansion. This could be helpful in order to optimise chemical output of sonochemical reactors either from measurement data or simulations as well.     

甲烷在活性炭上裂解制氢研究

在连续流动石英固定床反应器上研究了甲烷在活性炭上裂解制氢的反应，并对反应前后活性炭的比表面积以及孔径分布等的变化进行了测定。结果表明，甲烷在五种活性炭上的裂解行为基本相同，反应初期转化率最高，随着反应进行转化率逐渐降低直至一个平稳的状态；降低甲烷分压和增加甲烷与活性炭的接触时间可提高甲烷转化率；温度的升高有利于初始转化率的提高，但不利于活性炭的稳定性；反应后活性炭比表面积、孔容及微孔孔容都明显降低，平均孔径增大，孔径分布向中孔方向迁移，说明甲烷的裂解导致了活性炭孔特别是微孔内的炭沉积以及进一步的孔堵塞。

Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 to Syngas with Controllable CO/H2 Ratios over Co and Ni Single‐Atom Catalysts

The electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) to yield synthesis gas (syngas, CO and H₂) has been considered as a promising method to realize the net reduction in CO₂ emission. However, it is challenging to balance the CO₂RR activity and the CO/H₂ ratio. To address this issue, nitrogen‐doped carbon supported single‐atom catalysts are designed as electrocatalysts to produce syngas from CO₂RR. While Co and Ni single‐atom catalysts are selective in producing H₂ and CO, respectively, electrocatalysts containing both Co and Ni show a high syngas evolution (total current >74 mA cm^?2) with CO/H₂ ratios (0.23–2.26) that are suitable for typical downstream thermochemical reactions. Density functional theory calculations provide insights into the key intermediates on Co and Ni single‐atom configurations for the H₂ and CO evolution. The results present a useful case on how non‐precious transition metal species can maintain high CO₂RR activity with tunable CO/H₂ ratios.     

具有高稳定性以及光催化产氢活性的奇数环状异金属钛氧纳米团簇

利用太阳能是解决当前能源危机和环境问题的有效途径.二氧化钛是一种稳定性高、环境友好的新型光催化剂.近年来,具有精确结构信息的晶态钛氧团簇(PTCs)作为TiO₂的分子结构模型受到广泛关注.目前大多数PTCs含有烷氧基,在空气中易发生水解.这在很大程度上限制了对其光催化性能的研究.在无机钛氧簇的外围修饰大量的共轭有机配体是一种有效提升PTCs稳定性的方法.此外,异金属的嵌入有助于修饰微观电子结构,从而也将影响光催化性能.铝是地球上最丰富的金属元素,其水解产物也大量存在于地壳表面.因此,Ti和Al的水解和光催化研究引起了我们的兴趣.目前,只有少数几例低核的Al掺杂PTCs晶态材料被报道,且其制备过程都需要多步反应.因此,合成高核的包含Al的PTCs材料是一项有趣且充满挑战的工作.本文利用有机配体的保护和异金属离子的掺杂成功地提高了PTCs晶体材料的稳定性.通过研究Ti和Al离子的水解,制备了一例核-壳型的纳米轮簇[Al₇Ti₁₄(μ2-O)₇(μ3-O)₁₄(L)₃₅]·2CH₃CN(1;L=苯甲酸).该轮簇中包含罕见的奇数环状结构,是目前核数最高的包含Al的PTC.借助单晶X射线衍射可以清晰观察到无机{Al₇Ti₁₄}核与有机保护配体之间的配位模式.此外,利用红外光谱、热重和漫反射光谱对该化合物进行了进一步表征.有机配体层和Al³⁺占据了T_i⁴⁺周围的烷氧基位点,使得该化合物呈现较高的空气、热以及酸碱稳定性.在已报道的PTCs晶态材料中,该化合物也展现出较高的光催化产氢速率(402.88μmol g^-1h^-1).借助催化过程中的光致变色现象、电子顺磁共振谱、荧光光谱以及光电流响应,我们推测了该化合物催化水分解产氢机理.该项工作不仅为制备稳定的PTCs材料提供了基础,也为新型光催化剂的设计提供了新的思路.

Novel Methods to Manipulate Autolysis in Sparkling Wine: Effects on Yeast

Sparkling wine made by the traditional method (Méthode Traditionelle) develops a distinct and desirable flavour and aroma profile attributed to proteolytic processes during prolonged ageing on lees. Microwave, ultrasound and addition of β-glucanase enzymes were applied to accelerate the disruption of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and added to the tirage solution for secondary fermentation in traditional sparkling winemaking. Scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry analyses were used to observe and describe yeast whole-cell anatomy, and cell integrity and structure via propidium iodide (PI) permeability after 6-, 12- and 18-months post-tirage. Treatments applied produced features on lees that were distinct from that of the untreated control yeast. Whilst control yeast displayed budding cells (growth features) with smooth, cavitated and flat external cell appearances; microwave treated yeast cells exhibited modifications like ‘doughnut’ shapes immediately after treatment (time 0). Similar ‘doughnut’-shaped and ‘pitted/porous’ cell features were observed on progressively older lees from the control. Flow cytometry was used to discriminate yeast populations; features consistent with cell disruption were observed in the microwave, ultrasound and enzyme treatments, as evidenced by up to 4-fold increase in PI signal in the microwave treatment. Forward and side scatter signals reflected changes in size and structure of yeast cells, in all treatments applied. When flow cytometry was interpreted alongside the scanning electron microscopy images, bimodal populations of yeast cells with low and high PI intensities were revealed and distinctive ‘doughnut’-shaped cell features observed in association with the microwave treatment only at tirage, that were not observed until 12 months wine ageing in older lees from the control. This work offers both a rapid approach to visualise alterations to yeast cell surfaces and a better understanding of the mechanisms of yeast lysis. Microwave, ultrasound or β-glucanase enzymes are tools that could potentially initiate the release of yeast cell compounds into wine. Further investigation into the impact of such treatments on the flavour and aroma profiles of the wines through sensory evaluation is warranted.
