A compact shock-assisted free-piston driver for impulse facilities

A free-piston driver that employs entropy-raising shock processes with diaphragm rupture has been constructed, which promises significant theoretical advantages over isentropic compression. Results from a range of conditions with helium and argon driver gases are reported. Significant performance gains were achieved in some test cases. Heat losses are shown to have a strong effect on driver processes. Measurements compare well with predictions from a quasi-one-dimensional numerical code.

Advanced kinetic tools for the evaluation of decomposition reactions

Summary An advanced kinetic study on the thermal behaviour of pyrotechnic ignition mixtures has been carried out by differential scanning calorimetry using different B/KNO3 mixtures (50:50, 30:70, 20:80) as a model reaction. The experimental conditions applied (isochoric conditions/closed crucibles and isobaric conditions/open crucibles) as well as the composition of the mixtures noticeably influences the relative thermal stabilities of the energetic materials. The kinetic study focused on the prediction of the thermal stability of the different mixtures both in extended temperature ranges and under temperature conditions at which ordinary investigation would be very difficult. Using advanced numerical tools [1], thermal ageing and influence of the complex thermal environment on the heat accumulation conditions were computed. This can be done for any surrounding temperature profile such as isothermal, non-isothermal, stepwise, modulated, shock, adiabatic conditions and additionally for temperature profiles reflecting real atmospheric temperature changes (yearly temperature profiles of different climates with daily minimal and maximal fluctuations). Applications of accurate decomposition kinetics enabled the determination of the time to maximum rate under adiabatic conditions (TMR_ad) with a precision given by the confidence interval of the predictions. This analysis can then be applied for the examination of the effects of the surrounding temperature for safe storage or transportation conditions (e.g. determination of the safe transport or storage temperatures).     

Investigation on spontaneous ignition of two kinds of organic material with water

A systematic investigation was performed to elucidate the cause of spontaneous ignition of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and Meat Bone Meal (MBM). Heat generation in both RDF and MBM with addition of water liquid and vapor at room temperature was determined by isothermal calorimetry. Compared with water liquid, the heat of wetting by sorption of water vapor at 80% relative humidity and 25 °C was larger, which can raise the temperature of RDF and MBM more than 30 and 56 °C, respectively. Heat generation due to fermentation occurred and the temperature of RDF and MBM reached or exceeded 80 °C after 5 days for RDF and 4 days for MBM at 100% RH. The spontaneous ignition for RDF and MBM results from heat of wetting and fermentation at room temperature and a further exothermic reaction at higher temperature.     

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of a Pulsed Microwave Excited Ar/CF4 Plasma

The present work deals with a pulsed microwave discharge in an Ar/CF ₄ gas mixture under a low pressure (1–10 mbar). The discharge chamber developed has a cylindrical geometry with a coupling window alternatively made of quartz or alumina. The setup allows one to investigate the plasma–wall interactions (here etching of the quartz window) and the ignition process of the pulsed microwave plasma. Microwave pulses with a duration of 50–200 s and repetition rate between 1 and 10 kHz are typical for the experiments. The space-time behavior of the fluorine number density in the discharge has been investigated experimentally by optical actinometry. The discharge kinetics is modeled using electron-transport parameters and rate coefficients derived from solutions of the Boltzmann equation. Together with the solution of the continuity and electron balance equations and the rate equations describing the production of CF _x (x=2, 3, 4) radicals and F atoms, a good agreement between experimental and theoretical data can be achieved.

“言文一致”：从词汇看现代汉语的现代性

汉语的现代化进程始于20世纪的第一个十年,经五四新文化运动的强力推动,20年代末初具规模。近代汉语和现代汉语的区分标志是什么？王力认为语音、语法、词汇三者中,应将语法作为主要依据,关注的是汉语本体的变化;吕叔湘则强调言文一致的实现是汉语现代化的分水岭,着眼于语言在社会运用上的变化。随着书面语使用者的爆发式增长、语言内容和话语行为的质变,以及传媒的多样化成为汉语近现代转型的重要动机,新增词语引发的词汇体系的重构是汉语之为现代的最重要的体现形式。新增词语有一个共同的形态特征：二字词。二字词具有两种语言功能,一、精密描写,二、讲述与听解。只有二字词才能应对科学的进步和日益复杂的人类社会,也只有二字词才能对非日常的内容做到说得出、听得懂。这种本文称之为“科学叙事”的话语行为以“言文一致”为基本条件,是语言现代化的本质所在。本文的主要观点是,言文一致是汉语现代化的重要标志,而言文一致需要词语上的基础;汉语的词语新增得以在短时期内完成,是东亚域内语言接触与词汇交流的结果。从词汇体系现代重构的视角对汉语进行考察是必不可少的,因为语言的现代性是由词语的现代性决定的。     

“工作组”模式：国家治理现代化的中国经验

“工作组”作为一个广泛出现在中国政治实践中的重要现象和运作机制,在中国政治发展道路上发挥了举足轻重的作用。研究表明,“工作组”总是围绕党中央的中心任务,在不断常规化的权力运作中,提升“政党−国家”的现代化治理水平。“工作组”模式能够在实践层面联结一统体制和有效治理,在理论层面回应有关国家治理能力的讨论,从而以一种治理模式形成了国家治理现代化的中国经验。     

国家治理的家户逻辑：基于田野政治学的分析进路

家户是中国社会的细胞,也是国家治理的基本单元。从历史上看,家户单元以独立的个体家庭的产生为基础,并经由“编户齐民”制度而成熟定型。与其他治理单元不同,家户具有极强的自主性,并从中汲取动能与活力。家户自主性是基于家户自身生存和发展需要而产生的内在能动性,包括意识自主性、目标自主性和行动自主性。中国国家治理的重要特征,不是对家户单元的控制与形塑,而是对家户自主性的认同与调适。家户自主性的产生,主要源于家户单元的自组织特性,包括联结方式的血缘性、个体需求的内生性、组织形态的灵活性以及国家权力的外在性。从历史上看,正是家户单元的自主性治理,为“集家为国”的中国国家治理提供了动力,其不仅创造了灿烂的农业文明,也实现了国家的长治久安。进入近代以后,家户作为国家治理单元的功能不断弱化甚至一度被取代,但其内在价值并未因此消解,反而在改革实践中展现独特魅力与光芒。在推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的进程中,应当高度重视家户单元及其蕴含的自主性价值,并赋予其新的时代意义。     

Quantitative measurement of hard X-ray spectra from laser-driven fast ignition plasma

Absolute Kα line spectroscopy is proposed for studying laser–plasma interactions taking place in the Au cone-guided fast ignition targets. X-ray spectra ranging from 20 to 100 keV were quantitatively measured with a Laue spectrometer composed of a cylindrically curved crystal and a filter-absorption method for Bremsstrahlung continuum emission. The absolute sensitivities of the Laue spectrometer systems were calibrated using pre-characterized laser-produced X-ray sources and radioisotopes. The integrated reflectivity for the crystal is in good agreement with predictions by an X-ray diffraction code. The energy transfer efficiency from incident laser beams to hot electrons, as the energy transfer mechanism, is derived from this work. The absolute yield of Au and Ta Kα lines were measured in the fast ignition experimental campaign performed at Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University. Applying the hot electron spectrum information from electron spectrometer and scaling laws, the energy transfer efficiency from the incident LFEX, a kJ-class PW laser, to hot electrons was derived for the first time.
