Visualizations of a specific hydrocarbon fuel in a horizontal tube with 2.0 mm inside diameter were investigated. The experiments were conducted at mass velocity of 213.4, 426.5 and 640.2 kg/ (m2⋅s), diabatic lengths of 140, 240 and 420 mm under the pressure from 2.0-2.7 MPa. In the sub-pressure conditions, bubbly, intermittent, stratified-wave, churn and annular flow patterns were observed. The frictional pressure drops were also measured to distinguish the patterns. The development of flow patterns and frictional pressure drop were positively related to the mass velocity and the heat flux. However, the diabatic length of the tube takes an important part in the process. The residence time of the fluid does not only affect the transition of the patterns but influence the composition of the fuel manifested by the fuel color and carbon deposit. The special observational phenomenon was obtained for the supercritical pressure fluid. The flow in the tube became fuzzier and pressure drop changed sharply near the pseudocritical point. The flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of the hydrocarbons were also discussed respectively. The curve of critical heat flux about onset of nucleate boiling was plotted with different mass velocities and diabatic tube lengths. And heat transfer characteristics of supercritical fuel were proved to be better than that in subcritical conditions.

Extensive investigations on the flow and heat transfer behavior in SCWR fuel assembly have been undertaken worldwide. However, stability analysis of supercritical water in the sub-channels of tight lattices is still lacking. In this paper, the flow stability of a fuel bundle channel with square pitches has been analyzed using commercial CFD code-ANSYS Fluent. Typical dynamic instability of Density Wave Oscillation (DWO) has occurred in heated channel containing fluids at supercritical pressure. A further discussion about the impacts of various operational parameters (e.g. power input, system pressure, mass velocity, inlet temperature, etc) shows that the system becomes more stable as system pressure and/or mass flow rate increases. An increase in inlet temperature also has a stabilizing effect on the system.

Ta-doped hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanorod array electrodes were successfully prepared on FTO substrates using the conventional method by adding TaCl 5 in the aqueous solution directly. With the increasing of TaCl 5 dopant content, the photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity of the Ta-dopedα-Fe 2 O 3 nanorod films firstly increased and then decreased. Compared with the undoped α-Fe2O3 nanorod films, the optimal content of Ta-doped hematite sample showed about 3.5 times higher photoelectrochemical activity under the irradiation of solar light (AM 1.5, 100 mW·cm-2), as high as 0.53 mA·cm -2 at 0.5V vs. SCE(saturated calomel electrode) in 0.5 M Na 2 SO 4 . In order to analyze the mechanism of tantalum ions in changing the photoelectrode performance, all films were characterized by Raman spectra, UV-visible spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum(EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results reveal that at low Ta doping contents, small amount of Ta is dopedinto the nanorods of α-Fe 2 O 3 films and the photocurrent improvement is mainly attributed to the reduced electron-hole recombination in the α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorod *** at high Ta doping contents, superfluous Ta dopant forms a thick tantalum oxide layer and the layer completely covers the nanorods of α-Fe 2 O 3 films. This special surface structure reduces the number of photogenerated electrons (or holes) and weakens the charge transfer ability to raise the surface charge recombination of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorods, leading to the decreased photoelectrochemical activity.

This work generalizes Evans' homogenous nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (HNEMD) algorithm for computing the thermal conductivity of strongly-coupled complex (dusty) plasma liquids (SCCDPLs) described by the Yukawa potential. The effects of external field strength along with different screening strengths on the conductivity of Yukawa liquids have investigated using HNEMD simulations. We have carried out some more linear and nonlinear molecular dynamics calculations of the thermal conductivity, and the obtained simulation results of SCCDPLs are presented for various plasma coupling and screening parameters. Our calculations show that Yukawa liquid exhibits a non-Newtonian behavior that the thermal conductivity increases with increasing field strength which explains interaction contributions in Yukawa conductivity, for the first time. The simulation results obtained with different external filed strengths are in reasonable agreement with earlier simulation results and with reference set of data showed deviations within less than ±10% for most of the present data point. It is shown that new simulations extended the range of field strength (0.001≤F*≤0.1) used in the earlier studies in order to find out the size of the linear regimes and to explain the nature of nonlinearity of SCCDPLs.

In this work, composites of silica and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) were conveniently synthesized through polymerization of melamine and ethyl silicate. Some basic physicochemical properties of these metal-free photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) spectra, transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum and N2 adsorption-desorption measurement. The XRD patterns of all the prepared materials were dominated by the characteristic (002) peak at 27.5° of a graphitic structure, indicating that the induced Si did not destroy the crystal structure of g-C3N4). As the initial molar ratio of Si to C increased, enhanced photocatalytic activity was observed for H2 evolution from a triethanolamine aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation over the series of composites. It was proved that the introduction of Si resulted in large surface area, which is favorable for reactant-transfer and charge-migration, beneficial for photocatalysis.

The solar cavity receiver is an important light-energy to thermal-energy convector in the tower solar thermal power plant system. The heat flux in the inner surface of the cavity will show the characteristics of non-continuous step change especially in non-normal and transient weather conditions, which may result in a continuous dynamic variation of the characteristic parameters. Therefore, the research of dynamic characteristics of the receiver plays a very important role in the operation and the control safely in solar cavity receiver system. In this paper, based on the non-continuous step change of radiation flux, a non-linear dynamic model is put forward to obtain the effects of the non-continuous step change radiation flux and step change feed water flow on the receiver performance by sequential modular approach. The subject investigated in our study is a 1MW solar power station constructed in Yanqing County, Beijing. This study has obtained the dynamic responses of the characteristic parameters in the cavity receiver, such as drum pressure, drum water level, main steam flow and main steam enthalpy under step change radiation flux. And the influence law of step-change feed water flow to the dynamic characteristics in the receiver also has been analyzed. The results have a reference value for the safe operation and the control in solar cavity receiver system.
