In situ electron-induced reduction of NOx via CNTs activated by DBD at low temperature

• An in situ electron-induced deNO_x process with CNT activated by DBD was achieved. • Carbon atoms on CNT surface were verified to be excited by plasma in DBD-CNT system. • Reactions between NO_x and excited C result in synergistic effect of DBD-CNT system. In this study, a new in situ electron-induced process is presented with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a reduction agent activated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) for nitrogen oxide (NO_x) abatement at low temperature (<407 K). Compared with a single DBD system and a DBD system with activated carbon (DBD-AC), a DBD system with carbon nanotubes (DBD-CNT) showed a significant promotion of NO_x removal efficiency and N₂ selectivity. Although the O₂ content was 10%, the NO_x conversion and N₂ selectivity in the DBD-CNT system still reached 64.9% and 81.9% at a specific input energy (SIE) of 1424 J/L, and these values decreased to 16.8%, 31.9% and 43.2%, 62.3% in the single DBD system and the DBD-AC system, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to investigate surface changes in the CNTs after activation by DBD to explore the NO_x reduction abatement mechanism of this new process. Furthermore, the outlet gas components were also observed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to help reveal the NO_x reduction mechanism. Experimental results verified that carbon atoms excited by DBD and the structure of CNTs contributed to the synergistic activity of the DBD-CNT system. The new deNO_x process was accomplished through in situ heterogenetic reduction reactions between the NO_x and carbon atoms activated by the plasma on the CNTs. In addition, further results indicated that the new deNO_x process exhibited acceptable SO₂ tolerance and water resistance.

变压器油池火燃烧规律的实验研究*

为对变压器油池火灾进行准确有效的灭火，研究不同尺寸和不同厚度下变压器油的火灾动力学特征和基本燃烧特性，具体分析变压器油的燃烧过程和变压器油燃烧速率、火焰温度以及辐射热流随油池直径以及厚度的变化规律。结果表明:整个油品的燃烧过程分为预热燃烧阶段、稳定燃烧阶段和火焰熄灭阶段。对于厚度大于10 mm的油池燃烧，稳定阶段的燃烧速率与油层厚度无关，稳定阶段的燃烧速率随着油池直径的增加而增加。同时，变压器油火灾连续火焰区温度接近750 ℃。对于稳定燃烧阶段下的变压器油燃烧，基于辐射通量可得出在燃烧过程中，辐射热量占总燃烧热的占比约为1/3。研究结果可丰富变压器油燃烧的基础数据，为变压器火灾的灭火提供参考。     

热力耦合作用对桩及桩间土拱效应的影响研究*

为研究负温对桩侧应力及桩间土拱效应的影响，通过FLAC3D软件模拟热力耦合作用下新型排桩冻结法中桩间土拱效应的变化及温度效应下的桩间距，并根据巴霍尔金单排管冻结稳态温度场解析解，建立冻结壁平均温度区域解。研究结果表明:桩土接触面的应力分量τxy近似线性变化，应力分量σx近似均匀分布，温度降低对应力分量τxy的分布影响较小，但对应力分量σx的影响较大；负温使桩间距发生变化，且整体平均应力的分布也更加均匀化；通过与巴霍尔金解析解对比，证明单排管冻结温度场模型的可行性，在此基础上建立的单排管冻结壁平均温度区域解，其与数值模拟结果相差不超过1 ℃，计算误差满足工程要求；随着冻结时间的增加，单排管冻结壁温度场呈抛物线形式降低。
