Simulation of the tubular positive electrode of the lead-acid battery

The discharge performance of a tubular electrode of the lead-acid battery based on a pseudo steadystate approach was simulated. It was found that the discharge reaction started from the central interior region instead of from the outer surface as in the usual plate-type electrodes. This is due to the fact that the central region has a smaller reaction surface than the outer region of the tubular electrode. This consequently causes a higher current density near the center. A comparison of the theoretical prediction and experimental result shows that the model is fairly accurate except for very high rate discharge conditions.     

Rapid Reactive Synthesis and Sintering of Submicron TiC/SiC Composites through Spark Plasma Sintering

Submicrometer TiC/SiC composites were fabricated by a rapid reactive sintering process through spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique using the carbon, titanium, and nanosized-SiC powders without any additive. It was found that the composite could be sintered in a relatively short time (8 min at 1480°C) to 97.9% of theoretical density. After sintering, the phase constituents and microstructures of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction techniques and observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of nanosized and microsized SiC additives on the microstructure of TiC/SiC composites was investigated.

Alternative hydrocarbon solvents for cottonseed extraction

Hexane has been used for decades to extract edible oil from cottonseed. However, due to increased regulations affecting hexane because of the 1990 Clean Air Act and potential health risks, the oil-extraction industry urgently needs alternative hydrocarbon solvents to replace hexane. Five solvents,n-heptane, isohexane, neohexane, cyclohexane, and cylopentane, were compared with commercial hexane using a benchscale extractor. The extractions were done with a solvent to cottonseed flake ratio of 5.5 to 1 (w/w) and a miscella recycle flow rate of 36 mL/min/sq cm (9 gal/min/sq ft) at a temperature of 10 to 45°C below the boiling point of the solvent. After a 10-min single-stage extraction, commercial hexane removed 100% of the oil from the flakes at 55°C; heptane extracted 100% at 75°C and 95.9% at 55°C; isohexane extracted 93.1% at 45°C; while cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and neohexane removed 93.3, 89.4, and 89.6% at 35, 55, and 35°C, respectively. Each solvent removed gossypol from cottonseed flakes at a different rate, with cyclopentane being most and neohexane least effective. Based on the bench-scale extraction results and the availability of these candidate solvents, heptane and isohexane are the alternative hydrocarbon solvents most likely to replace hexane.

Effect of Addition of Oxides on Low-Temperature Oxidation of Molybdenum Disilicide

A type of aluminosilicate that has a good wetting property for molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) was added to a MoSi₂ matrix to study the effects on the microstructure and low-temperature oxidation. It was found that the composites had not only good low-temperature oxidation resistance but also high thermal shock resistance when the added oxides formed a network microstructure in the matrix. There was no appreciable oxidation gain for MoSi₂/oxide composites with a network microstructure at 773 K for 2500 h. The results indicate that microstructure design is a simple and effective solution to preventing the low-temperature oxidation of MoSi₂.     

Scaling Analysis for the Axial Displacement and Pressure of Flextensional Transducers

We have examined the axial displacement, Δ h , and maximum axial pressure, P _max, of flextensional transducers such as the moonies and the rainbows with both scaling and mechanical analyses. For a constant electric field E across the transducer, Δ h / t ∝ E / t ² where t is the thickness of the rainbow or the thickness of the metal end cap of the moonie and Δ h / t , the relative axial displacement. Thus, for a constant voltage V across the transducer, Δ h / t ∝ V / t ³. As for the maximum pressure, P _max t ² for the rainbows and P _max∝ wt for the moonies where t is the thickness of the rainbow or the thickness of the metal end cap of the moonie and w the thickness of the piezoelectric disk of the moonie. These predictions agree well with the experimental results found in the rainbows and the moonies. Our analysis showed that although the rainbows and the moonies differ in design and processing, the underlying physics for the enhancement in the axial displacement are essentially the same: The nonuniform distribution of d ₃₁ through the thickness of the transducer causes the transducer to arch or flatten with an applied electrical field, which leads to the enhancement in the axial displacement. The only difference is that, for the transducer to arch, the applied field is in the opposite direction to the polarization in the rainbows but in the same direction as the polarization in the moonies.
