RESUMO
Coaxial nozzles are widely used to produce fibers with core-shell structures. However, conventional coaxial nozzles cannot adjust the coaxiality of the inner and outer needles in real-time during the fiber production process, resulting in uneven fiber wall thickness and poor quality. Therefore, we proposed an innovative semi-flexible coaxial nozzle with a dynamic self-centering function. This new design addresses the challenge of ensuring the coaxiality of the inner and outer needles of the coaxial nozzle. First, based on the principles of fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction, a self-centering model for a coaxial nozzle is established. Second, the influence of external fluid velocity and inner needle elastic modulus on the centering time and coaxiality error is analyzed by finite element simulation. Finally, the self-centering performance of the coaxial nozzle is verified by observing the coaxial extrusion process online and measuring the wall thickness of the formed hollow fiber. The results showed that the coaxiality error increased with the increase of Young's modulus E and decreased with the increase of flow velocity. The centering time required for the inner needle to achieve force balance decreases with the increase of Young's modulus ( E ) and fluid velocity ( v f ). The nozzle exhibits significant self-centering performance, dynamically reducing the initial coaxiality error from 380 to 60 µm within 26 s. Additionally, it can mitigate the coaxiality error caused by manufacturing and assembly precision, effectively controlling them within 8 µm. Our research provides valuable references and solutions for addressing issues such as uneven fiber wall thickness caused by coaxiality errors.
RESUMO
In this research, a molecular dynamics (MD) model was adopted to investigate the essence of the effect of strain rate on the mechanical behavior of the Fe14.6Ni (at%) elastocaloric refrigeration alloy. The study showed that the mechanical behavior of the Fe14.6Ni (at%) alloy was dependent on the strain rate. Besides, the investigation of temperature demonstrated that the strain rate influenced mechanical behavior by changing the transient temperatures. Furthermore, it was found that the adiabatic temperature change (ΔTadi) was high and up to 51 K, which was a 1.57 times improvement. Finally, the conclusion was drawn that the strain rate influenced the mechanical behavior by changing the transient total kinetic energy and the phase content evolution processes, which was the essence of the effect of strain rate on the mechanical behavior. This work has clarified the essence and enriched the theory of the effect of strain rate on the mechanical behavior of elastocaloric refrigeration alloys.
RESUMO
A selective oxidative [4+2] annulation of alkenes with imidazo-fused heterocycles has been developed by using the synergistic combination of photoredox and cobaloxime catalysts. It allows facile access to various imidazole-fused polyaromatic scaffolds accompanied by H2 evolution. This protocol features high regioselectivity as well as a broad substrate scope. Detailed mechanistic studies indicate that twice the electron/H transfer processes facilitated by this catalytic system achieve the annulation π-extension of imidazo-fused heterocycles with alkenes.
