17  Experimental Study on Frequency Doubling of Femtosecond Pulses

LIN Xiaoxuan, CHEN Liming, LI Yutong, et al.

Abstract: This paper studies the frequency doubling of femtosecond laser pulses with a wavelength of 790 nm using a 2 mm thick KDP crystal. The energy conversion efficiency is better than 40% after the energy and chirp of the fundamental harmonic are optimized. Moreover, the frequency doubling is analyzed as a function of laser pulse frequency chirp. It is found that the frequency doubling conversion efficiency reaches a maximum when there is no frequency chirp; for the same grating position, the frequency conversion efficiency is better by using positively chirped fundamental laser pulses than by using negatively chirped pulses.

Key Words: nonlinear physics; femtosecond laser pulses; frequency doubling

21  Investigation of the Chord Wise Distribution of Temperature in Dielectric Barrier-Discharge Plasmas

LI Hanming, LI Yingjun, MAO Lingtao, et al.

Abstract: The heat exchange is accompanied by the formation of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma. As the power with high amplitude and frequency repeatedly ionizes the air, the chord wise distribution of the temperature in the interactive region is an important indicator. Using the infrared imager, we investigate the influencing factors of the chord wise distribution of the temperature in the interactive region and the heating and cooling processes of the plasma are measured too. A Gaussian distribution of the chord wise distribution is observed experimentally, which provides a promising way to increase the induced air flow to realize the flow control with the dielectric barrier discharge plasma.

Key Words: dielectric barrier discharge; infrared imager; distribution of the temperature; heat exchange

27  Research on the Box Dimension of Blasting Seismic Wave Based on the Fractal Theory

LONG Yuan, YAN Junwei, LOU Jianwu, et al.

Abstract: Based on the characteristics of the blasting seismic wave and the fractal theory, this paper proposes a fractal box dimension model. By using the test data of the deep-hole blasting experiments carried out on a rock site, the fractal box dimension values D of blasting seismic signals is calculated according to this model. An analysis on the relationship between box dimension values D and the medium characteristics shows that the fractal box dimension value D of the blasting seismic wave can be used as a new important parameter to describe the blasting seismic wave. It reflects some important information concerning the properties of rock, the medium of the blasting seismic wave.

Key Words: mechanics of explosion; fractal theory; blasting seismic wave; box dimension model; no-dimensional parameter

32  Human Serum Albumin and A Rat's Model for D-Galactosamine/Lipopolysaccharide Induced Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure

LIU Xuhua, CHEN Yu, ZHANG Jing, et al.

Abstract: There was no report on experimental model for acute-on-chronic liver failure, which is most commonly found in China.  Immunological hepatic fibrosis was induced by human serum albumin in Wistar rats, then D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide was administered. 90% of rats died from acute liver failure after administration of D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide, with mean survival time of (16.1¡À3.7) hours. The kinetic changes of AST and TBil were compatible with massive necrosis of hepatocytes. Histopathological studies revealed massive or submassive necrosis in regenerative nodules, with fibrosis septa being kept intact. Plasma level of TNF-¦Á was significantly increased 8 hours after administration of D-galactosamine /lipopolysaccharide, in association with apoptosis shown by TUNEL, while the profile of plasma IL-10 level was consistent with immunosuppression as seen in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure. Animal model for acute-on-chronic liver failure can be established by treating human serum albumin-induced rat's cirrhosis with D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide. This model duplicated partly pathophysiological process as seen in acute liver failure developed on the chronic liver disease. TNF-¦Á-mediated liver cell apoptosis plays a very important role in the pathogenesis.

Key Words: acute-on-chronic liver failure; animal model; lipopolysaccharide; D-galactosamine

38  Residual-Based Modal Analysis Based on Phase Measurement System

ZHANG Xiuying, ZHANG Chuanmin, ZHANG Chuanli, et al.

Abstract: In this paper, GPS-based phase measurement system is introduced including the hardware and the architecture of the system based on Internet/Intranet. A new algorithm, the residual-based method, is developed to identify the system modes. The measurement system has been applied in Australian Network and have successfully identified the oscillatory frequency and damping values of the power system. Results from the analysis show that the residual-based method is able to completely extract the oscillatory information of the system.

Key Words: modal analysis; power system oscillation; voltage angle

42  Experimental Research and Application of Skewed Gas Flow Technology

HE Jian, ZHANG Yuhai, XU Guosheng

Abstract: Skewed gas flow technology (SGFT), which is less researched at home, is one of the new technologies for improving ESP performances, and applied into actual ESP by foreign experts which obtained a significantly achievement. This paper studies the feasibility of SGFT by analyzing the particle distribution and on this basis the optimal gas distribution is gained by utilizing properly adjusting scheme. At the end of this paper, the results of SGFT used in industry programs are analyzed.

Key Words: skewed gas flow technology; particle distribution analyzing; ESP; renovation and improving

47  Effects of Chemical Additives on Compressive Strength of Fly Ash-Desulphogypsum

YUAN Yongtao, WANG Fangqun, QI Liqiang, et al.

Abstract: In order to explore the comprehensive disposal and use of two kinds of solid waste-fly ash and desulphogypsum, in power plant, the ratios of fly ash/desulphogypsum and water/solid between fly ash and desulphogypsum, with respect to the two major solid wastes in coal-fired power plants, are studied by experiments, while they are being naturally cured in the air and the influences of chemical additives such as sulfates, lime, NaOH and acid exciting agents on cementitious material strength are analyzed. The results indicate that the optimum reaction mass ratio between fly ash and desulphogypsum is 3:2; the compressive strength of corresponding cementitious material is the highest with 1% K2SO4, 1% lime, 3% NaOH, 10% HCl solution being, respectively, added into fly ash-desulphogypsum system. And when the ratio of water/solid is 0.23, the compressive strength is the best.

Key Words: fly ash; desulphogypsum; solidification; additives; cementitious material

52  Design of Electrostatic Precipitator for Orimulsion-fired Boiler

FU Bohe

Abstract: Orimulsion is an emulsified fuel, consisting of Orinoco natural bitumen (70%), fresh water (30%) and a small amount of surfactant. Compared with heavy oil, it contains higher amounts of sulfur, water, vanadium and ash. It is still in a preliminary stage in using orimulsion and studying its environment in China. This paper discusses the design principle of the electrostatic precipitator for orimulsion-fired boiler, which can serve as a reference for power plant in using heavy oil and orimulsion.

Key Words: Orimulsion; electrostatic precipitator

63  Study on the Viticultural Climatic Zoning in China (I)

LI Hua, WANG Hua, FANG Yulin, et al.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the climatic index systems used in the viticultural zoning and the climatic characteristics in China. It is shown that all climatic zoning index systems are based on the Mediterranean and para-Mediterranean climatic conditions, therefore, are not necessarily suitable for the climate conditions in China, which are dominant with continental features. The principles in the viticultural climatic zoning in China are proposed based on the conditions demanded by the growth of grapevines and related problems are discussed.

Key Words: grapevine; climatic zoning; viticulture
