In this work, NiSx was deposited on FTO by chemical bath and worked as the inner layer in order to enhance the photocurrent of CdS film. It is found the unannealed CdS/NiSx had a higher photocurrent than unannealed CdS, but after annealing, the photocurrent of CdS/NiSx showed dramatical decrease. The mechanism was discussed in detail by UPS and current-potential curves.

Based on selecting the proper formulas of thermal conductivity and viscosity for nanofluids, a three-dimensional fluid-solid conjugated model was developed to analyze the effect of the heat sink structure, the nanoparticle kind, diameter and volume fraction, and the base fluid kind on the cooling performance of microchannel heat sink. The results showed that: (1) thermal dispersion effect caused by nanoparticle random motion enhanced the thermal convection of nanofluid thus enhances significantly the cooling performance of heat sink;(2) the enhancement of nanofluids was closely dependent on the heat sink structure and the dependence was distinct from the pure fluid, hence the heat sink structure was needed to be optimized for nanofluids as coolants;(3) as the nanoparticle volume fraction increases, the thermal resistance reduced and the pressure increased, the water-based Al2O3 nanofluid with 0.5% volume fraction was the optimal coolant which caused 10.1% decrease in the thermal resistance and only 0.38% increased in the pressure drop;(4) although the nanoparticle size had a small effect on the thermal resistance, nanoparticles with small diameter were recommended with consideration of stability of nanofluids;(5) Al2O3 nanoparticle was superior to TiO2 and CuO, and water was the better base fluid than ethylene glycol and engine oil.

The Ni-doped (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 photocatalysts were prepared via a two-step ultrasonic-hydrothermal method under an environmental-friendly condition. XRD pattern profiles suggested that Ni2+ successfully doped into (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 lattice. UV-Vis spectra indicated that the optical properties of the photocatalysts greatly depended on the amount of Ni doped. SEM images show that the samples were microspheres. The microsphere structures were gradually damaged with the increment of Ni doping amount. The photoactivity of (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 was enhanced when Ni2+ was doped into the crystal structure. The H2 evolution performance over the prepared samples from inorganic/organic sacrificial solution was systematic investigated.

Deposition of cement kiln ash on the tubes of heat recovery boiler affects the heat exchange efficiency. The basic characteristic of cement kiln ash and the deposition on the tubes with different arrangements are presented. Numerical simulation and experiment measurement show that flow field feature, especially the low-velocity zone and vortex street, causes different shape of ash deposit around the tube. The effect of ash concentration, tube arrangement and gas velocity on the deposition is analyzed. The effect of the tube diameter and the gas composition is also discussed.

In this work a series of Eosin Y-ZnO(x%)/TiO2 were prepared. ZnO well dispersed on the surface of TiO2, which improves the adsorption of Eosin Y and the excited electron to transfer to the conduction band of TiO2. Therefore the visible light activity of 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y-ZnO(x%)/TiO2 is much higher than that of the 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y-TiO2 and 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y-ZnO. The 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y- ZnO(1.5%)/TiO2 has the highest visible light activity among the catalysts coupled with various ZnO amount, whose activity is increased by a factor of 3.5 compared to that of 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y-TiO2. It is proposed that, 0.2%Pt-Eosin Y-ZnO(1.5%)/TiO2 has the optimal trapping sites of carriers and thickness of the space-charge layer on the TiO2 particle surface, so these factors result a more efficient charge separation, an increased lifetime of the charge carriers, and the enhanced of hydrogen production.

Real-time simulation of industrial equipment is a huge challenge nowadays. The high performance and fine-grained parallel computing provided by graphics processing units (GPUs) bring us closer to our goals. In this article, an industrial-scale rotating drum is simulated using simplified discrete element method (DEM) without consideration of the tangential components of contact force and particle rotation. A single GPU is used first to simulate a small model system with about 8000 particles in real-time, and the simulation is then scaled up to industrial scale using more than 200 GPUs in a 1 D domain-decomposition parallelization mode. The overall speed is about 1/11 of the real-time. Optimization of the communication part of the parallel GPU codes can speed up the simulation further, indicating that such real-time simulations have not only methodological but also industrial implications in the near future.

Pt-Ni bimetallic catalysts and their corresponding monometallic catalysts supported on active carbon were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation or chelating formaldehyde reduction. The effect of feed/catalyst ratio and the metal impregnation sequence for active carbon supported bimetallic nanoparticle on dehydrogenation activity of decalin was investigated. The results showed that the conversion of decalin increased up to 72% over 3%Pt/C catalyst when the feed/catalyst ratio reached 3.3 mL/g, under which condition the catalyst was in the liquid film state, having a higher temperature and larger contact area. The Pt-Ni/C bimetallic catalyst showed higher activity than either Pt/C or Ni/C monometallic catalyst. The impregnation sequence has a significant effect on the catalytic performance of three bimetallic supported catalysts. Pt first catalyst displayed the best dehydrogenation activity and selectivity to naphthalene. It reveals that the impregnation sequence more likely altered the location of active metal species and the formation of Pt-Ni bimetallic bond, which lead to the different catalytic behavior for decalin dehydrogenation.
