An eigenfunction expansion-variational method in prediction of the transverse thermal conductivity of fiber reinforced composites considering interfacial characteristics

An eigenfunction expansion-variational method based on a unit cell is developed to deal with the steady-state heat conduction problem of doubly-periodic fiber reinforced composites with interfacial thermal contact resistance or coating. The numerical results show a rapid convergence of the present method. The present solution provides a unified first-order approximation formula of the effective thermal conductivity for different interfacial characteristics and fiber distributions. A comparison with the present high-order results, available experimental data and micromechanical estimations demonstrates that the first-order approximation formula is a good engineering closed-form formula. An engineering equivalent parameter reflecting the overall influence of the thermal conductivities of the matrix and fibers and the interfacial characteristic on the effective thermal conductivity, is found. The equivalent parameter can greatly simplify the complicated relation of the effective thermal conductivity to the internal structure of a composite. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Universal Biot number determining stress duration and susceptibility of ceramic cylinders to quenching

A universal Biot number, which not only describes the susceptibility of ceramic cylinders to quenching but also determines the duration that ceramic cylinders are subjected to thermal stress during thermal shock, is theoretically obtained. The analysis proves that thermal shock failure of ceramic cylinders with a Biot number greater than the critical value is a rapid process, which only occurs in the initial heat conduction regime. The results provide a guide to the selection of ceramic materials for thermostructural engineering, with particular reference to thermal shock.

微重力细胞生物学实验地面模拟技术研究

<正>微重力对细胞的影响是空间生命科学研究的重要环节,(哺乳动物)细胞感受重力变化的机制是其中的一个基本问题。由于空间实验机会稀少且成本昂贵,必须辅助以相关的地面微重力效应模拟方法。旋转培养器在微重力细胞生物学实验中一直是模拟微重力效应的主要手段,其前提假设是,旋转可以"迷惑"细胞对固定重力方向的感知,并且重力方向改变的速度快于细胞对重力方向感知的响应时间阈值。严格上说旋

遮阴对黄波罗幼苗的光合特性及光能利用效率的影响

一直以来黄波罗(Phellodendron amurense)被认为是不耐阴树种,然而引入美国纽约后,发现它具有一定的耐阴性,在全光和林下均能更新,在纽约已经成为生物入侵种。为了探讨黄波罗的耐阴性问题,通过设置自然光与遮阴(15%自然光)两种光环境,观测了三年生黄波罗幼苗(遮阴1a后)光合生理参数、光能利用效率、叶绿素和比叶重的变化。结果表明,与自然光处理相比,遮阴处理的黄波罗幼苗最大光合速率、表观量子效率和暗呼吸速率略有下降,但差异不显著(p>0.05),光补偿点下降显著(p<0.05);同时,单位面积叶绿素含量无显著差异(p>0.05),而单位干重叶绿素含量显著升高,比叶重显著下降,叶面积显著增大(p<0.05)。上述结果说明:遮阴的黄波罗幼苗通过降低光补偿点和暗呼吸速率利用环境中的弱光,同时通过减小比叶重、增大叶面积和提高叶绿素b相对含量来增强对光的捕获,使其在弱光时的光能利用效率提高。由此推断,黄波罗幼苗能适应一定程度的遮阴。

基于县域要素的三江源地区旅游扶贫模式探讨

随着我国旅游业的兴起,人们越来越认识到旅游在消除贫困上的潜力和能力,然而,要让旅游真正朝着有利于消除贫困的方向发展,必须对旅游的发展方式加以调整,因地制宜地选择旅游扶贫的模式。本文构建了三江源地区各县贫困程度和旅游资源禀赋评价指标体系,定量测度了各评价区的贫困度和旅游资源禀赋综合得分,并采用四象限法划分出资高贫低、双高、双低、资低贫高4种旅游扶贫类型区,在此基础上,提出适用于整个三江源地区的旅游扶贫基本模式为政府主导模式,以及各类型区的旅游扶贫辅助模式,即资高贫低区的政企合作模式,双高区的项目推动模式,双

超细Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能

报道了一种新型的、用NH4F作络合剂的络合还原法制备的Ir催化剂及其对氨氧化的电催化性能.结果表明,由于溶液中的Ir3+和NH4F形成络合物,因此用这种络合法制得Ir催化剂中Ir粒子的平均粒径为2.8nm,要比不加络合剂时制得的Ir催化剂中Ir粒子的平均粒径(7.5nm)小很多.所以,用络合还原法制得的Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化活性和稳定性都比不加络合剂时制得的Ir催化剂好很多.且该制备方法简单、实用,适用于催化剂的实际生产.
