摘要: Accurate measurements of the radon exhalation rate helps identify and evaluate radon risk regions in the environment. Among these measurement methods, the closed-loop method is frequently used. However, traditional experiments are insufficient or cannot analyze the radon migration and exhalation patterns at the gassolid interface in the accumulation chamber. The CFD-based technique was applied to predict the radon concentration distribution in a limited space, allowing radon accumulation and exhalation inside the chamber intuitively and visually. In this study, three radon exhalation rates were defined and two structural ventilation tubes were designed for the chamber. The consistency of the simulated results with the variation in the radon exhalation rate in a previous experiment or analytical solution was verified. The effects of the vent tube structure and flow rate on the radon uniformity in the chamber; permeability, insertion depth, and flow rate on the radon exhalation rate; and the effective diffusion coefficient on back diffusion were investigated. Based on the results, increasing the insertion depth from 1 to 5 cm decreased the effective decay constant by 19.55%, whereas the curve-fitted radon exhalation rate decreased (lower than the initial value) as the deviation from the initial value increased by approximately 7%. Increasing the effective diffusion coefficient from 2.7710-7 to 7.7710-6 m2 s-1 made the deviation expand from 2.14% to 15.96%. The conclusion is that an increased insertion depth helps reduce leakage in the chamber, subject to notable back-diffusion, and that the closed-loop method is reasonably used for porous media with a low effective diffusion coefficient in view of the back-diffusion effect. The CFD-based simulation is expected to provide guidance for the optimization of the radon exhalation rate measurement method and, thus, the accurate measurement of the radon exhalation rate.

摘要: Theoretical and numerical analysis on the fluid flow and heat transfer inside a LNG evaporator is conducted in this work. Methane is used instead of LNG as the operating fluid. This is because; methane constitutes over 80% of natural gas. The analytical calculations are performed using simple mass and energy balance equations. The analytical calculations are made to assess the pressure and temperature variations in the steam tube. Multiphase numerical simulations are performed by solving the governing equations (basic flow equations of continuity, momentum and energy equations) in a portion of the evaporator domain consisting of a single steam pipe. The flow equations are solved along with equations of species transport. Multiphase modeling is incorporated using VOF method. Liquid methane is the primary phase. It vaporizes into the secondary phase gaseous methane. Steam is another secondary phase which flows through the heating coils. Turbulence is modeled by a two equation tur- bulence model. Both the theoretical and numerical predictions are seen to match well with each other. Further pa- rametric studies are planned based on the current research.

摘要: In many high energy experiments, the physics quantities are obtained by measuring the cross sections at a few energy points over an energy region. This was referred to as scan experiment. The optimal design of the scan experiment (how many energy points, what the energies are, and what is the luminosity at each energy point) is of great significance both for scientific research and from economical viewpoint. Two approaches, one has recourse to the sampling technique and the other resorts to the analytical proof, are adopted to figure out the optimized scan scheme for the relevant parameters. The final results indicate that for爊爌arameters scan experiment,爊爀nergy points are necessary and sufficient for optimal determination of these爊爌arameters; each optimal position can be acquired by single parameter scan (sampling method), or by analysis of auxiliary function (analytic method); the luminosity allocation among the points can be determined analytically with respect to the relative importance between parameters. By virtue of the second optimization theory established in this paper, it is feasible to accommodate the perfectly optimal scheme for any scan experiment.

摘要: A new search signature for excited leptons is explored. Excited muons are sought in the channel pp→μμ∗→μμ jet jet, assuming both the production and decay occur via a contact interaction. The analysis is based on 20.3 fb−1 of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s√ = 8 TeV taken with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence of excited muons is found, and limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-muon mass mμ∗. For mμ∗ between 1.3 TeV and 3.0 TeV, the upper limit on σB(μ∗→μqq¯) is between 0.6 and 1 fb. Limits on σB are converted to lower bounds on the compositeness scale Λ. In the limiting case Λ=mμ∗, excited muons with a mass below 2.8 TeV are excluded. With the same model assumptions, these limits at larger μ∗ masses improve upon previous limits from traditional searches based on the gauge-mediated decay μ∗→μγ.

摘要: Heat conduction through one-dimensional (1D) coupled rotator lattices is investigated in the presence of mass gradient. It is found that thermal current in the direction of mass increasing is not asymmetric with heat flux though mass decreasing system, which is called thermal rectification. Moreover, we find that the larger is the mass gradient, the more evident is the thermal rectification effect, which is consistent with FPU lattice with mass gradient. Based on the influences of the thermal rectification on shape parameters K and A of nearest-neighbor interactions, the average temperature of atomic chain and the system size, a optimum thermal rectifier is designed, which thermal rectification efficiency has reached 70. These investigations would contribute to controlling and manipulating thermal current.

摘要: In this article, a numerical analysis is done on the temperature of 4 plate-shaped battery cells with phase change material (PCM) chambers around each one in a rectangular shape. The batteries are placed in a channel with air flow. The study is done transiently in a time of ten minutes. The batteries are of lithium ion type and the analysis is provided in two dimensions. The battery cells are arranged in the form of two single battery cells at the beginning, and end of the channel and two battery cells in the middle of the channel. These two middle batteries are placed in parallel. By changing the distance between the two middle batteries from two to three cm, this study is conducted to investigate the temperature of each of the four battery cells and changes in the amount of frozen PCM. Finally, the results showed that the temperature of the two batteries at the beginning and the end, increased continuously during the ten minutes of the study. At a distance of three cm from the middle batteries, the lowest temperature occurred on the first and last batteries, while at the same distance, the highest temperature occurred on the middle ones. At a distance of two cm from the middle batteries, the lowest amount of frozen PCM was observed, while at a distance of three cm from the middle batteries, the highest amount of frozen PCM was found on the first and last batteries.

摘要: In order to study the effect of tensor force, we plan to perform a (p,d) reaction with a 4001600 MeV proton beam on the RIBLL2 at Lanzhou. Based on the experimental conditions of RIBLL2, a Monte Carlo method is used to simulate (p,d) reaction process. The distributions of primary beam and scattered deuterons are given on the target and at the F1, F2, F3, and F4 positions. Considering the yield of the deuteron, to separate the produced deuteron from the background particles, the target thickness is optimized. To obtain a clear particle identification spectrum by time of flight (TOF) and energy loss (E), the distance between the two detectors, as well as the energy and timing resolution of detectors are simulated. As a result, the distance between F2 and F4 is fit for that of TOF. After taking into account the particle distribution at F4, both sizes of Multi-Wire Drift Chamber, namely MWDC2 and MWDC3, are selected to be 50 mm50 mm.

摘要: Precision reducer is one of the key parts of an industrial robot, which generally incorporates cycloidal planetary drive. Engagement of the cycloidal wheel and the pins causes rolling friction between the wheel and the pins as well as sliding friction between the pins and the pin housing in the traditional cycloidal transmission of the reducer. In this paper, we present a new kind of design to make the pins and the pin housing a whole structure, thereby the cost of manufacturing and assembly can be significantly reduced. And in this new structure, we only need to consider sliding friction between the cycloidal wheel and the unibody of the pins and pin housing. The difference between the new structure and the conventional structure in the meshing properties was given. In addition, we used finite element method to analyze the friction and contact stress between the cycloidal wheel and the pins in the actual working condition, and compared it with the traditional structure. The simulation results proved the feasibility of the new structure and provided a theoretical basis for further design and manufacturing of this new kind of cycloidal planetary drive structure.

摘要: An electrostatic accelerating column was designed and fabricated by Lanzhou University for an intense D-T/D-D neutron generator. In order to achieve a neutron yield of 5.0�1012 n/s, a deuteron beam of 30 mA, accelerated to 400 kV, and transported in the electrostatic accelerating column smoothly are required. One particle-in-cell code BEAMPATH was used to simulate the beam transport, and the IONB1.0 code was used to simulate the intense beam envelopes. Emittance growths due to space charge effect and spherical aberration were analyzed. The simulation results show that the accelerating column can transport deuteron beam of 30 mA smoothly and the requirement for the neutron generator is satisfied.

摘要: The effects of the number of significant figures (NSF) in the interpolation polynomial coefficients (IPCs) of the weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGM) on results of numerical investigations and WSGM optimization were investigated. The investigation was conducted using numerical simulations of the processes inside a pulverized coal-fired furnace. The radiative properties of the gas phase were determined using the simple gray gas model (SG), two-term WSGM (W2), and three-term WSGM (W3). Ten sets of the IPCs with the same NSF were formed for every weighting coefficient in both W2 and W3. The average and maximal relative difference values of the flame temperatures, wall temperatures, and wall heat fluxes were determined. The investigation showed that the results of numerical investigations were affected by the NSF unless it exceeded certain value. The increase in the NSF did not necessarily lead to WSGM optimization. The combination of the NSF (CNSF) was the necessary requirement for WSGM optimization.

摘要: Small-break superposed station blackout (SBO) accidents are the basic design accidents of nuclear power plants. Under the condition of a small break in the cold leg, SBO further increases the severity of the accident, and the steam bypass discharging system (GCT) in the second circuit can play an important role in guaranteeing core safety. To explore the influence of the GCT on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the primary circuit, RELAP5 software was used to establish a numerical model based on a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant. Five different small breaks in the cold-leg superposed SBO were selected, and the impact of the GCT operation on the transient response characteristics of the primary and secondary circuit systems was analyzed. The results show that the GCT plays an indispensable role in core heat removal during an accident; otherwise, core safety cannot be guaranteed. The GCT was used in conjunction with the primary safety injection system during the placement process. When the break diameter was greater than a certain critical value, the core cooling rate could not be guaranteed to be less than 100 K/h; however, the core remained in a safe state.

摘要: The Coulomb barrier and electron screening cause difficulties in directly measuring nuclear reaction cross sections of charged particles in astrophysical energies. The Trojan-horse method has been introduced to solve the difficulties as a powerful indirect tool. In order to understand experimental spectra better, Geant4 is employed to simulate the method for the first time. Validity and reliability of the simulation are examined by comparing the experimental data with simulated results. The Geant4 simulation can give useful information to understand the experimental spectra better in data analysis and is beneficial to the design for future related experiments.

摘要: Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are promising self-powering suppliesfor a diverse range of intelligent sensing and monitoring devices, especially due to their capability of harvesting electric energy from low frequency and small-scale mechanical motions. Inspired by the fact that contact-separation mode TENGs with small contact areas harvest high electrical outputs due to fringing effect, this study employed discontinuity on the dielectric side of contact-separation mode TENGs to promote fringing electric fields for the enhancement of electrical outputs. The results reveal that the TENGs with more discontinuities show higher overall electric performance. Compared to pristine TENGs, the TENGs with cross discontinuities increased the surface charge by 50% and the power density by 114%. However, one should avoid generating discontinuities on tribonegative side of TENGs using metal blade within a positive-ion atmosphere due to the neutralization through electrically conductive metal blade. The computational simulation validated that the TENGs with discontinuities obtained higher electrical outputs, and further investigated the effect of discontinuity gap size and array distance on TENGs performance. This study has provided a promising method for the future design of TENGs using discontinuous structures.

摘要: The HIRFL-CSR external-target experiment (CEE) under construction is expected to provide novel opportunities to the studies of the thermodynamic properties, namely the equation of state of nuclear matter (nEOS) with heavy ion collisions at a few hundreds MeV/u beam energies. Based on Geant 4 packages, the fast simulations of the detector responses to the collision events generated using transport model are conducted. The overall performance of CEE, including spatial resolution of hits, momentum resolution of tracks and particle identification ability has been investigated. Various observables proposed to probe the nEOS, such as the production of light clusters, $\rm t/^3He$ yield ratio, the radial flow, $\pi^{-}/\pi^{+}$ yield ratio and the neutral kaon yields, have been reconstructed. The feasibility of studying nEOS beyond the saturation density via the aforementioned observables to be measured with CEE has been demonstrated.

摘要: The average absorbed dose in glandular tissue is the most appropriate parameter for the assessment of the radiation-induced risk during breast imaging. The aims of this work concern: (1) the investigation of the variation effect of any related update to photon cross-section data-bases on the computation of the normalized glandular dose (DgN) for mammography quality control tests and (2) the proposition of a parameterization method leading to provide DgN values function of the breast thickness (T) and the particle energy (E) instead of E alone, as normally known. We analyzed the change effect of the photon cross-section data-bases on the computation of DgN. Those coefficients, generated using the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit, were studied over a range of compressed breast thickness of 28 cm for monoenergetic (1120 keV by 1 keV intervals) and polyenergetic (2335 kVp by 2 kVp intervals) X-ray beams. Moreover, breast tissue composition ranging from about 0% glandular (about 100% adipose) to 100% glandular (0% adipose) was also covered. The successful parameterization of DgN look-up table function of the breast thickness and energy, will compact its analytical form without loss of accuracy. All parameterization fits resulted in r2 values of 0.999 or better.
