Abstract:Hollowing of inorganic nano/micromaterials can be realized by well-known Ostwald ripening and Kirkendall processes. However, hollowing of organic polymer without sacrificial templates is seldom seen. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that conducting polymer nanofibers can be transformed into nanotubes by a simple, effective, and controllable swelling-evaporation strategy. By controlling swelling degree, surface-patterned poly(o-toluidine) (POT) nanofibers, and nanotubes with controllable inner diameter can be fabricated. Novel characteristics of such nanotubes, such as patterned surfaces and sealed tips, will endow them with enhanced properties when applied in fields as controlled drug delivery, noble metal nanocatalysts supporter, and adsorbent for heavy-metal ions. In this Communication, we demonstrate for the first time that conducting polymer nanofibers can be transformed to nanotubes by a simple, effective, and controllable SE strategy. By controlling swelling degree, surface-patterned POT nanofibers and nanotubes with controllable inner diameter can be fabricated. Novel characteristics of such nanotubes, such as patterned surfaces and sealed tips, will endow them with enhanced properties when applied in fields as controlled drug delivery, noble metal nanocatalysts support, and adsorbent for heavy-metal ions. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract:In order to supply better flow conditions for pump and improve pumping system efficiency, numerical simulations were conducted in this paper on 3 design schemes of a shaft tubular pumping system to compare their energy performances and investigate the relationship between the design scheme and the system characteristics. With the same design of suction box and discharge passage, the head losses of the outlet discharge passage and the pumping system efficiencies were compared between 2 design schemes of different size and shape of the shaft (pit). The flow conditions of pump, in terms of distribution uniformity of axial velocity and velocity-weighted bias angle of outflow field in the outlet cross-section of suction box, and the pumping system efficiencies were compared between the front and rear arrangement of the shaft while keeping the shaft and the pump unchanged. The computational results show that for the rear arrangement of shaft schemes the size and shape of the shaft affect not only the head loss of the discharge passage but also the pumping system efficiency. If just simply turning the pump around 180 degrees without changing pump and flow passages, the pumping system can be operated both in the rear arrangement scheme of shaft and front arrangement scheme. However, the flow conditions of pump become deteriorated in terms of distribution uniformity and bias angle when the rear arrangement scheme of shaft changed to front arrangement. As a result, the hydraulic losses of suction box and discharge passage in front arrangement increases, the best efficiency point drops and high efficiency zone moves toward smaller flow rates. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:There are many ways to improve flow conditions of pump, such as "ω" type rear wall, vertical columns and bottom sills as well as other engineering measures. They are widespread used and effective in regulating flow patterns and velocity distributions in forebay and sump, however, the difference affecting flow conditions of pump are never evaluated quantitatively before. In this paper, a series of specially designed "ω" type rear wall, vertical columns and bottom sills with different parameters are placed in different places of the sump in turn while keeping the water levels and pump discharge unchanged. A swirl meter is adopted to measure swirl intensities in the suction pipe of pump, and the effects of different intake design schemes and engineering measures on flow conditions of pump are compared quantitatively in terms of swirl angle. The experimental results show that under certain conditions vertical columns and bottom sills can improve flow conditions, but their design parameters and where they are placed in the sump need to be optimized in order to obtain better results. The "ω" type rear wall with bottom pilot cone can considerably reduce the intensity of swirl in the suction pipe of pump, the mechanism of which needs to be studied extensively. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:With the development of modern wind energy generation, higher requirements to the grid in case of a failure were raised. In order to faciliate the recovery of power, while voltage dips in a certain range, protecting the rotor side converter and providing reactive power to the grid are both needed according to the requirements.This paper takes DFIG for example, in order to protect the rotor side converter, we analyze different voltage phase angles and DFIG's electromagnetic transition process while the voltage dips. Proposing a method to eliminate harmonic components during transition process, that the proposed control strategy.Simulation results show that the control strategy can achieve the purpose of protecting the rotor side converter, while eliminating the harmonic currents of stator side and rotor side under voltage dips. © 2011 IEEE.
