The diffusion of nano-confined fluids plays a crucial role in nano-energy research. We developed three molecular models to calculate the diffusion behavior of both supercritical water (SCW) at 673-1173 K, 250 atm, androom water (300 K, 1 atm), confined in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) ranging from 9.49 to 50.17 & Aring;. We analyzed the diffusion mechanism of water confined in various CNTs using the time coefficient. We calculated the self-diffusion coefficient of water in Fickian-like diffusion mode and examined the factors influencing it. The results indicate that in small-diameter CNT (7,7), SCW primarily follows a Fickian-like diffusion mode, while room temperature (300 K, 1 atm) water exhibits a superdiffusion mode. For CNT diameters larger than 20 & Aring;, both room temperature water and SCW predominantly exhibit Fickian-like diffusion. Additionally, the self-diffusion coefficient of SCW increases linearly with temperature, displaying clear Arrhenius behavior. The self-diffusion activation energy of SCW in different types of CNTs shows a strong correlation with the hydrogen bond structure. Finally, we combined the saturatedrelationship between CNT diameter and self-diffusion coefficient to propose a predictive model for the self-diffusion coefficient of confined SCW. The model is simple, requiring only three parameters, with a mean absolute relative error of less than 6.5%.

The changes of digestibility, several processing properties, and structure of highland barley starch induced by dry heat treatment (dHT), heat moisture treatment (HMT), and annealing treatment (AT) were investigated. And the interrelationship between modification conditions, structure, and functional properties was also investigated. FordHT, the starch was treated at 110 degrees C for 4 , 8, and 12 h, respectively. For HMT, the starch was adjusted to moisture contents of 20%, 25%, and 30%, and then heated at 110 degrees C for 4 h. For AT, the starch was treated at 50 degrees C for 12 and 24 h, respectively. The results indicated that dHT, HMT and AT all positively impacted the total content of slowly digestible starch (SdS) andresistant starch (rS) in the starch samples, and HMT was the best method in leading to the conversion of a portion of rapidly digestible starch (rdS) into SdS andrS. Among them, HMT-20% resulted in a decrease in the rdS content from 91.19% to 81.50%, while simultaneously causing an increase in the SdS andrS content from 5.54% and 3.27% to 8.73% and 9.77%. Moreover, HMT significantly affected the thermal properties, rheological properties, crystallinity, molecular structure, and particle morphology of starch. Therefore, ourresearch suggested that utilizing hydrothermal treatment or heat treatment could be a potential approach for controlling the digestibility of starch products according to desired specifications. This experiment innovatively focused on highland barley starch, a less-researched material. Using dHT, HMT, and AT, it measureddifferent digestible starch contents and explored the links between treatment conditions, rS contents, structure, and function, providing new ideas for its application in functional foods.

Biodiesel has a higher viscosity and poorer atomization effect compared to traditional diesel fuel, resulting in lower combustion efficiency. This study investigated the effects of exhaust gas recirculation and a diethyl carbonate additive on the combustion and emission of biodiesel blends. Biodiesel was blended with dEC (90% volume biodiesel + 10% volume dEC: B90dEC10). Experiments were conducted at various brake mean effective pressures (BMEP: 0.2, 0.6, 1.0, 1.6, and 2.0 MPa) and EGrrates (0, 5, and 15%) on a direct injection and high pressure common rail diesel engine that met Euro VI emission standards. The results revealed that the viscosity and atomization effects of B90dEC10 were improved, and the premixed combustion period was longer and the heat release rate (Hrr) was higher compared to traditional diesel. The maximum Hrr of B90dEC10 was 20% higher than that of diesel at 0.6 MPa. Compared to diesel, the particulate matter emissions of B90dEC10 were reduced by 92%, and total hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions were significantly reduced. However, there was an increase of 8-20% in nitrogen oxide emissions. At an EGrrate of 15%, the NOx emissions of B90dEC10 were reduced by 45%, while having minimal impact on PM emissions and brake thermal efficiency. Therefore, it was concluded that B90dEC10 is a potential alternative to diesel, and the combustion performance and emissions control were optimized when using a higher EGrrate (15%).

The wide applications of continuous silicon carbide fiber (SiCf) are constrained by the high cost of its common raw material, polycarbosilane (PCS). Polymethylsilane(PMS) exhibits higherreactivity and a lower production cost than PCS. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of pyrophoric nature and thermoset properties in raw PMS necessitate improvements for practical applications. Herein, benzoxazine resin (VBr) with vinyl functional groups is utilized to modify PMS via hydrosilylation. After modification, a stable preceramic polymer with excellent processability is obtained. The ordered and symmetrical molecular architecture of the initial PMS is changed. This results in an increase of the molecularrigidity, which in turn constrains the alteration of molecular conformation anddiminishes the tendency toward crystallization. The modified PMS exhibits a shear-thinning behavior and thermoplastic properties upon heating, making it suitable for melt-spinning. The molecular orientation of the newly formed network structure in the modified PMS is aligned with the shear force during melt-spinning, facilitating the extrusion of green fibers and thereby imparting superior spinnability to the modified PMS. By optimizing the temperature of melt-spinning to 210 degrees C, we produce continuous SiC green fibers with lengths exceeding 10 km. This work presents a promising candidate for the economic preparation of SiC fiber.

The spatial-temporal structures of bottom reverberation are associated with seafloor features. In a bistatic bottom reverberation experiment involving a vertical transmitting array and a towed horizontal receiving array, stable stripe structures were observed within the beam-time domain. In this study, a bistatic reverberation model based on ray theory is presented to interpret the experimental phenomena. The conventional empirical scattering function is primarily applicable to small grazing angles. Moreover, the regional segmentation method simulates reverberations across various receiving beams, ignoring scatterers in other areas. To address these issues, we substitute the empirical scattering function with a small-slope approximation (SSA) that is appropriate for full grazing angles. Furthermore, we utilize the beam pattern of arrays to incorporate the effects of each scatterer, andderive the expression for bottom reverberation intensity in both the array and beam domains. The established model demonstrates its applicability in simulating and interpreting the stripe structures of bottom reverberation, and the comparison shows that the model outputs are in agreement with the experimental results. The analysis indicates that the vertical stripes within the structures originate from eigenrays in the mirrorreflection direction. Furthermore, the convex stripes are predominantly affected by the direct ray and the surface reflection ray among the scattered eigenrays, whereas the concave and elliptical stripes are primarily affected by the bottom-surface reflection ray and the surface-bottom-surface reflection ray within the scattered eigenrays.

This analysis utilizeddata mining and knowledge discovery techniques through Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software. The results revealed a rising trend in annual publication numbers, with china leading in the number of publications. The primary journals in this field included the Journal of Hazardous Materials, Chemosphere, and Separation and Purification Technology. The primary disciplines contributed to this field included "Environmental Sciences", "Engineering, Environmental", "Engineering, Chemical", and "Electrochemistry". keyword co-occurrence and burst analysis indicated that current EKr-relatedresearch mainly focuses on the remediation of soil/sediments contaminated by heavy metals (HMs) and organic pollutants (OPs). Furthermore, the EKrremediation improvement method emerged as the prevailing and future research hotspots anddevelopment directions. Future research could integrate numerical simulations and various methodologies to predict and assess the migration of pollutants and the efficiency of remediation efforts. Additionally, these studies could explore the effects of EKr on the physicochemical properties and microbial diversity of soil/sediment to provide a theoretical foundation for applying EKr in soil/sediment remediation.

UiO-66-NH2(Ti/Zr) modified by Ti metal oxide (TiO2) was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose to prepare 5-HMF. Under the optimal reaction conditions of H2O(NaCl)/THF(1/4 mL), 190 degrees C, 2 h and 50 mg UNT-3(Ti/Zr) (TiO2 and UiO-66-NH2 with mass of 1.5 and 0.1 g, respectively), the yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural reached 59.88%. UiO-66-NH2(Ti/Zr) nanocomposites with different mass ratios were successfully prepared by simple solvent evaporation method. SEM and TEM have shown that the modified UiO-66-NH2(Ti/Zr) are wrapped into sphere by TiO2 densely attached to the surface of UiO-66-NH2, which provides favorable conditions for the uniform dispersion of TiO2 and coordination of the Lewis acidic site of UiO-66-NH2. NH3-TPdresults confirmed the existence of super-strong, strong, middle and weak acid sites in UiO-66-NH2(Ti/Zr), and Py-FTIr confirmed the existence of Bronsted and Lewis acids. After four cycles, the yield of 5-HMF and FUrdecreased slightly from 59.88 to 51.89% and 9.11 to 7.66%, respectively, and the yield of 5-HMF could still remain above 50%. The results showed that the modified composite treatment of TiO2 with rich Lewis acid/base and UiO-66-NH2 could provide a certain idea for the extensive application of biomass research in the future.

Micro-flow control valves are critical for precise propellant regulation in aerospace propulsion systems, yet existing designs face challenges in flow stability and accuracy under small openings where rarefied gas effects dominate. This study presents a novel zonal design micro-flow control valve optimized via Knudsen number (Kn)-based flow regime partitioning. A gas flow model was established to correlate valve openings (10-50 mu m) with flow characteristics, enabling derivation of a polynomial-fitted spool profile that aligns with dynamic flow area requirements. Comparative simulations revealed that the polynomial-section spool significantly enhances flow field stability at a 50 mu m opening, reducing maximum throttle velocity by 35.5% and suppressing turbulent vortices compared to conventional trapezoidal designs. Numerical analysis demonstrated progressive flow stabilization as the opening increased: maximum throttle velocity rose from 7.99 to 52.46 m/s, while vortex count decreased from four to one. A prototype was fabricated and tested, achieving a maximum flow deviation of < 0.5% under varying voltages (15-55V dC), validating precision control. By integrating Knudsen number-driven zonal modeling, polynomial spool optimization, and experimental verification, this work advances the design of micro-flow valves for high-accuracy aerospace applications, particularly in slip and transition flow regimes.

316 L stainless steel powder with varying particle sizes was chosen as the raw material for the fabrication of metal hollow spheres using powder metallurgy techniques. The powder's particle size, composition, and micro-morphology were examined, followed by porosity and capillary force calculations, compressive testing, and fracture analysis. The findings reveal significant disparities in the micro-morphology and mechanical properties among the metal powders with different particle sizes. Smaller particle sizes result in denser bonding of the hollow spheres, leading to higher compressive yield strength. Conversely, larger powder particle sizes substantially increase the porosity of the hollow sphere wall, resulting in a sharp decline in mechanical properties and a transition from ductile fracture to brittle fracture in its failure mode. This study's innovation lies in its meticulous examination of the relationship between particle size distribution and the resulting microstructural and mechanical properties of 316 L stainless steel hollow spheres, providing valuable data that enhances the understanding of powder metallurgy processes anddrives the development of advanced materials for aerospace applications.
