The Memory Effect Of Mh-Ni Battery, De-Ming Xie, Jian-Ming Wang, Jian-Qing Zhang, Chu-Nan Cao

Journal of Electrochemistry

The memory effect of MH-Ni battery was investigated. The depth of discharge, discharge rate and cycle number influence the memory effect greatly. A few completely full charge/discharge cycles could eliminate it. The existence of the memory effect had nothing to do with zinc element. During the course of life cycling at low DOD (degree of discharge), the smaller the discharge current was, the lower was the maximum charge voltage. In addition, discharge voltage and discharge capacity drop fast at the beginning, gradually leveled off at about a value. If the discharge current was increased, the discharge capacity was obviously less …

Surface Extrapolation Length And Director Structures In Confined Nematics, Nikolai V. Priezjev, Robert A. Pelcovits Nov 2000

Surface Extrapolation Length And Director Structures In Confined Nematics, Nikolai V. Priezjev, Robert A. Pelcovits

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

We report the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the Lebwohl-Lasher model of nematic liquid crystals confined to cylindrical cavities with homeotropic anchoring. We show that the ratio of the bulk to surface couplings is not in general equal to the corresponding parameter K/W used in elastic theory (where K is the Frank elastic constant in the one-constant approximation and W is the surface anchoring strength). By measuring the temperature dependence of K/W (which is equivalent to the surface extrapolation length) we are able to reconcile the results of our simulations as well as others with the predictions of elastic …

Effect Of Foreign Object Damage On The Fatigue Strength Of An Xd™ Γ-Tial Alloy, Trevor S. Harding, J. Wayne Jones Sep 2000

Effect Of Foreign Object Damage On The Fatigue Strength Of An Xd™ Γ-Tial Alloy, Trevor S. Harding, J. Wayne Jones

Materials Engineering

High cycle fatigue has become the leading cause of failure in gas turbine engine blades in recent years [1]. The majority of these failures were associated with surface damage such as foreign object damage (FOD). Therefore, the ability of a material to resist impact damage and the subsequent fatigue propagation of any cracks that may result has become a crucial design consideration. Substantial research has been conducted on the effects of simulated FOD in conventional turbine blade materials where the formation of cracks at the impact site was not a common occurrence [2, 3 and 4]. However, impacts of more …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The mechanism of FeS electrode process has been investigated by using linear cyclic voltammetry. The electrode porcess of FeS is accompanied with the formation and dissolution of insoluble FeS and controlled by ohmic resistance. The peak currents and potentials on the cyclic voltammograms are dependent lineally on the square root of the scan rates. According to this, an ohmic resistance controlling model of FeS electrode has been put forward, and the relative functions between peak currents or potentials and scan rates have been deduced. The theoretical deduction is corresponding to the results of the experiments.

Cathodic Indirect Oxidation Of Organic Compounds(Ⅱ)——Cathodic Indirect Epoxidation Of Olefine, Xue-Ying Zhang, Bao-Qiu Cui, Deng-Ping Gu, Wei Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

We described a novel cathodic indirect epoxidation system in which O2 was first cathodically reduced to H2O2. Then VO(acac)2 was oxidized by H2O2 homogeneously to VO(acac)2OOH which was used to epoxidize some olefine such as maleic, fumaric and crotonic acids. Many affecting factors on the current efficiency were optimized. The research will contribute to the developments of organic electrosynthesis.
