    The adsorption of asymmetrical di-block copolymer on stripe-patterned surfaces has been investigated by off-lattice Monte Carlo(MC)simulation.The results showed that the polymer-surface binding of asymmetrical di-block copolymer was the same as symmetrical di-block copolymer proceeding in two steps;i.e.,adsorption and recognition.With studies on the configuration of polymers;the mean-square radius of gyration along z axis was always smaller than that along x or y axis regardless of the width of stripes.It was shown that tails firstly increasd and then kept unchanged with increasing adsorption energy when the width of stripes slit was fixed.When adsorption energy was fixed;tails increased with increasing number of stripes.Loops had a small trend to descend when the width of stripes was larger.But the downtrend of loops increased rapidly with narrower stripe width.

    The calculation of phase equilibrium with or without chemical reaction is an important problem in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering.One formulation of this problem is the minimization of Gibbs free energy with constraints.The often-used method, sequence quadratic programming(SQP)is easily trapped in the local point and depends on the initial point despite its quick convergence.The artificial immune system(AIS)is able to find the global point, but its local searching is poor and finding the trace solution is difficult.In this paper, a hybrid artificial immune system(HAIS) is constructed by making use of the advantages of AIS and SQP and adding the SQP operation to the AIS method.In order to quickly get the feasible solution or antibody and shorten the run time of HAIS, the variables of mole were transformed to the new variables of mole fraction,and an appropriate strategy is employed in dealing with the constraints.The antibodies are based on the basic feasible solution.Its performance is better than other methods, such as SQP and AIS ,as shown by analyzing several phase equilibrium cases.

    Multidimensional modeling of vertical upward subcooled boiling flow was performed and the local two-phase flow parameters (void fraction and bubble size) were calculated by using the computational fluid dynamics codeCFX4.4, in which lateral interfacial effects based on a three-dimensional two-fluid model were accounted for.A sensitivity analysis of the difference method, interfacial force and bubble-induced turbulence and bubble size was made.The method of using the CFD code for prediction of sub-cooled boiling flow in a pipe was established.The predicted lateral distributions of void fraction showed excellent agreement with the measurements at low void fraction, but somewhat larger difference at higher void fraction in vertical upward sub-cooled boiling flow.The predicted lateral distributions of vapor velocity and bubble diameter were not satisfactory.The results showed that a reasonable bubble diameter model and modeling of bubble coalescence and tearing would be necessary for improving calculation accuracy.

    PCFF and COMPASS force fields were used to describe PDMS and PS1 polymeric systems and to estimate the diffusion coefficient of N2 and O2 through the PDMS and PS1 matrices at 298 K by molecular dynamics simulation.It was found that the COMPASS force field was better in describing the transport behavior of the penetrants.The calculated densities after refinement were in good agreement with the experimental results.The group-based and Ewald summation skills were used to estimate the non-bonded interaction between atoms.Calculation using the Ewald summation method took much longer time without bringing in obvious improvement in density estimation.Various cut-offs in using the group-based summation method did not produce densities with much difference, and the cut-off of 1.3 nm was the best.Two types of diffusions of the small molecules in the polymers were discussed.The diffusion of O2 and N2 in PDMS could be transformed from anomalous to normal motion in 30 ps; while their diffusion in PS1 would take 300 ps transforming from anomalous to normal state.The trajectories of diffusion of N2 and O2 in PDMS or PS1 were different.The motion area of O2 in the PS1 was much larger than N2; however, the former in the PDMS matrix was only slightly larger than the latter.The diffusions of O2 and N2 in the PDMS and PS1 were consistent with the free volumes of polymers.

    A three-dimensional non-isothermal numerical model was developed for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with conventional and interdigitated flow fields.The heat and mass transfers and the electrochemical reactions of reactant gases in fuel cells were included in the model.The investigation was concentrated on the electro-osmotic drag and the diffusion effects of liquid water in the membrane, and the species transport in porous media.The effects of transport limit of oxygen and water transport in the membrane on the cell performance were analyzed and discussed.The results indicated that the interdigitated design of flow channel enhanced the mass transport of gases in porous media and improved the output performance of fuel cell.However, the reduction of water at the interface of cathode catalyst layer could deteriorate the hydration degree of membrane, which required more effective water management to keep the membrane from dehydration.

    Several inverse analysis methods were used to estimate linearly dependent thermal conductivity components of an orthotropic solid.The solutions of inverse heat conduction problems by using Bayesian approach, genetic algorithms and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm were compared.The inverse solution of estimating thermal conductivity components were obtained by computing the expectations of the posterior probability density functions of the thermal conductivity components.Genetic algorithm is a relatively new technique for optimization and estimation.This technique can also be applied to solving inverse problems.Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm can also be used to solve the nonlinear inverse problem of the parameter estimation.

    Experimental study and numerical simulation were performed for the averaged flow field of two closely spaced opposed jets with hot wire anemometer(HWA)and CFD software and the simulation was compared with the measurement and approximate analytic solution in the literature.The results showed that the exit velocity profile of the single jet was top-hat distribution due to the presence of boundary layers.At L<2D(where L is nozzle separation and D is nozzle diameter),bimodal distribution of exit velocity profile,low in the middle and high on both sides,was present,while such bimodal distribution of exit velocity profile was absent at L=2D.With increasing nozzle separation,the stagnation point offset of the impinging plane increased.With the same velocity ratio,stagnation point offset of the nozzles with uniform profiles was larger than that with top-hat profiles.The approximate analytic solution of the flow field of two opposed jets in the literature was only valid for the nozzles with uniform exit velocity profiles and the prediction accuracy became worse for the nozzles with top-hat exit velocity profiles.

    The gas-solid flow and mixing behavior in two dimensional downers with different entrance structures were simulated by using a CFD-DEM method.A gas-solid catalytic reaction model was incorporated in the governing equations to investigate the contact efficiency between phases.The simulations showed the dynamic and time-averaged flow structures characterized by the distributions of solids fraction, particle velocity and the reaction product in the whole downer as well as the residence time distributions (RTDs) of gas and solids, which were all heavily influenced by the design of the entrance structure.Non-ideal initial contact between gas and solids would cause wide RTDs of gas and worsen the reactor performance.

    A model of particle mass flowrate was proposed to explore the quantitative relationship between acoustic emission (AE ) energy, superficial gas velocity, and particle mass flowrate, by using wavelet transform and based on the mechanism that AE signals with different characteristic frequency band energies are emitted when the particles with different velocities impact with the wall.The system of air and polyethylene particles were used as an example and investigated in the superficial gas velocity range from 4.62 m·s-1 to 6.35 m·s-1 and with four kinds of single size LLDPE particles 0.84 mm, 0.59 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.21 mm in size respectively.AE signals were analyzed by using 7 scales wavelet transform in the frequency range from 0 to 500 kHz.It was found that the ratio of the characteristic frequency band energy to the square of the superficial gas velocity varied linearly with particle mass flowrate.Based upon the proposed model for predicting mass flowrate of single size particles, and according to the principle that the AE energy of multi-size particles is a linear superposition of the AE energies of single size particles, the prediction model for multi-size particles was obtained.The average absolute relative error between the values calculated with the prediction model and the experimental values obtained by weighing the polyethylene particles was 4.15 %.Therefore, this model could predict particle mass flowrate in an environmentally friendly way with fairly good accuracy.

    The characteristics of pressure fluctuation in a standpipe at negative pressure gradient were investigated based on measurement in the gas-solid two-phase circulating fluidized bed(CFB).When the solid particles flowed downward from low pressure part to high pressure part in the standpipe, the particles compressed the gas entrained by them, which resulted in the instability of gas-solid two-phase flow.This instability was shown as pressure fluctuation, undulating particle velocity and uneven concentration.The range of pressure fluctuation was related to the negative pressure gradient in the standpipe.

    Photocatalytic oxidation is a promising technique for drinking water treatment, but is still in the phase of laboratory or small scale test at the moment.The inadequacy of the data of organics photodegradation at trace concentration and the difficulty in detecting trace organics are two outstanding problems.In this work, the clustering analysis method was used according to the structure of organics and the sequencing of their photodegradation rate.The Freundlich kinetics model was used to establish the relations between different scales of organics concentrations, from relatively high concentration to trace or even ultra trace concentration, because there are abundant data of photodegradation at a relatively high concentration.Starting from these data, the combination of clustering analysis, sequencing and kinetics model could show adequate information of the photodegradation at trace concentration, which is critical in the treatment of drinking water.

    Magnetic field was employed in the absorption course of ammonia-water absorption refrigeration. The numerical model of falling film absorption outside vertical tube with ammonia-water in the presenting of magnetic field was set up. The macroscopic magnetic force was added in the equation of momentum. In the process of modeling, the variation of falling film thickness, the variation of physical characteristics of ammonia-water and the convection in the direction of the film thickness were considered. The distribution of temperature and concentration and temperature of falling film were obtained within 0-3T of magnetic induction intensity by numerical solving. The results show that the absorption heat, the absorption mass, the mass transfer coefficient increased with the increase of magnetic induction intensity. The falling film absorption with ammonia-water could be strengthened to some degree by external magnetic field.

    Hydrophilic surface modification of polysulfone hollow fiber membrane was performed by acrylic acid treatment.Stannic chloride was selected as the proper catalyst, and phosphoric acid as the co-catalyst.The modification conditions, such as the ratio of the reagents (acrylic acid∶catalyst=1∶0.05), temperature (30℃) and reaction time (60 min), were optimized based on the contact angle measurements.The grafting of carboxyl group to the membrane surface was confirmed by IR spectrum and wettability analysis, and no degradation of the modified membrane skin or framework was observed with scanning electron microscopy.The experimental results of filtrating bovine serum albumin solutions indicated that the property of resisting protein adsorption on the membrane surface for the modified membrane was much better than that for unmodified membrane.In the process of separating casein hydrolysates, the advantages of modified membrane were also shown by comparing the permeate flux and molecular mass distribution with those of unmodified membrane.

    The space-charge(SC)model and Teorell-Meyer-Sievers(TMS)model combined with irreversible thermodynamics model are applied to predict the transport coefficients of nanofiltration membranes in single electrolyte solution.The reflection coefficient has been numerically calculated by the SC model and analytically calculated by TMS model.The results show that the reflection coefficient approaches unit in the range of low-concentration regime and approaches zero in the range of high-concentration.While the diffusion coefficients ratio of co-ion over counterion is less than 1.0;the reflection coefficient is positive over the whole concentration range.When the ratio is larger than 1.0;the reflection coefficient is negative in a certain intermediate concentration region.And the increase of the surface charge density and the decrease of the pore radius cause the increase in the reflection coefficient.The SC model and TMS model show good agreement in the calculation of the reflection coefficient when the dimensionless potential gradient in the pore surfaces is less than 1.0 and the pore radius is less than 5.0 nm.

    Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) based on structural risk minimization, which is a simplified version of standard support vector machine (SVM), is easy to be trained and has good modeling performance.The model precision of LSSVM is decided by its hyper parameters, while it is difficult to find the optimal hyper parameters of LSSVM via grid search and cross validation method.Based on the fast leave one out (LOO) method selecting hyper parameters of LSSVM, with the LOO prediction error on the entire training sample being the object of optimization, the gradient-based optimal algorithm was proposed in this paper to find the optimal hyper parameters of LSSVM.The LSSVM model whose hyper parameters found in this way is called G-LSSVM.To validate the performance of G-LSSVM, a citric acid fermentation process was taken as the benchmarking problem.The result showed that the modeling was time-economized and stable;while both the fitting and predicting performance of G-LSSVM were superior to standard SVM and artificial neural network whose hyper parameters and net structure are chosen by trial.G-LSSVM is recommended to model the chemical engineering process with high non-linearity and small size training sample whose mechanism is not clear.

    A modified kernel Hebbian algorithm (MKHA) was proposed to integrate with the kernel principal component regression (KPCR) method for recursive product quality modeling of a two-stage hydro-dearomatization process.The approach to calculating the eigenvalues of centering kernel matrix was derived and the whole algorithm is formulated in a recursive mode.The proposed modeling strategy has an advantage of no need to calculate and store the kernel matrix.The obtained recursive nonlinear dynamic flash point model showed satisfying precision under both normal and faulty operations, and comparison studies with traditional offline KPCR modeling were presented.

    Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural antioxidant, and nowadays it has been used in medicine, food processing and cosmetic industry.However, to a certain extent its application is restricted because it is only soluble in water but is lipo-insoluble.In this research, liposoluble chlorogenic laurate(CGL) was synthesized by acylation with lauroyl chloride (LC) in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) in non-water phase.It was found that the optimized synthesis conditions were as follows: with dimethylformamide (DMF) as the dissolution agent and thinner, n CGA∶n LC∶n TEA=1∶1∶1.5, temperature(35±1)℃ and reaction time 8 h.Under these conditions a light yellowish powder was obtained and the yield of CGL was 81.24 %.The structure of CGL was characterized by UV-Vis, IR, ESI-MS and H NMR. Theoretically, the method of quantum chemistry calculation was used to demonstrate the feasibility and rationality of molecular modification for CGA.Meanwhile, the result of the test of the use of CGL on Guangdong-type sausage showed that 0.05% of CGL could increase the antioxidant ability of the products.

    Gas production from hydrate reservoir by depressurization is considered the most feasible approach up to date.However, the study on the theory and law of production is fairly scarce.In this paper, experimental work of the decomposition of methane gas hydrate by depressurization in porous media was carried out with the 1D experimental apparatus.A one-dimensional mathematic model was built, which considered natural gas hydrate dissociation kinetics and flow inporous media.This model was used to fit the experimental data, and the derived intrinsic dissociation kinetics constant was in the order of 10 mol·m-2·Pa-1·s-1, which was three orders of magnitude lower than that derived from bulk hydrate dissociation.The model also suggested that the hydrate dissociation kinetics had a great effect on the gas production behavior for the laboratory scale hydrate reservoir.However for a field scale reservoir, the hydrate dissociation kinetics had little effect while the flowability dominated the gas production behavior.

    The inhibitory effect of different concentrations of phenol on anaerobic granular sludge was investigated.It suggested that the higher the concentration of phenol, the worse the methanogenic activity, the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the activity co-enzyme F420 of the anaerobic granular sludge. At the same time, the activity of anaerobic granular sludge might be rejuvenated completely or partly in case the phenol concentration was relatively low (less than 200 mg·L-1).

    Warpage is a serious defect for the injection-molded parts.In this work, an approximate optimization method based on the Kriging model was proposed to do warpage optimization.Molflow software was used to analyze the warpage deformation of the injection-molded parts, and mold temperature, melt temperature, injection time and packing pressure were regarded as process parameters.The Kriging model provided the approximate mapping relationship between warpage and the parameters, replacing the warpage analysis of Moldflow in the optimization.Taking the cover of a phone for example, the result of the example showed that the optimization method could decrease effectively warpage deformation.Moreover, the optimization result and influence factors were analyzed in detail.
