为了提高质子交换膜燃料电池(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, PEMFC)的效率、延长其寿命，水管理是必须解决的问题。由于原位观测电堆内部水传递状态难度较大，研究PEMFC机理并进行建模，以此预测电堆内部水传递状态具有重要意义。 本研究利用COMSOL Multiphysics®建立了沿质子传递方向的PEMFC一维动态机理模型。模型采用多孔介质中的多相混合物传递理论描述两相流，并对催化剂层的Schroeder’s paradox进行了数学描述。模型将PEMFC划分为阳极GDL、质子交换膜和阴极GDL三个域 ... Read More
全球能源需求的不断增长，以及解决与日俱增的环境污染和气候变化的迫切需求，都在不断地刺激着更有效的能源获取技术。虽然在盐度梯度中发现了可提取的能量，即通过开发自然水生系统来获取蓝色能量(blue energy)，但单位面积上的能量功率(~5 W/m2)并不高。为了进一步提高能量转化效率，就不能单纯依靠吉布斯自由能(Gibbs free energy)，还应该充分利用磁场。故，探究磁场对带电纳米孔道中阴阳离子输运的影响，来启发实验取得进一步的突破。 应用了AC/DC模块和化学物质传递模块中的稀物质传递，以及对传递属性中的弱表达式进行修改。从而实现磁场 ... Read More
通讯作者：衡益，邮箱：hengyi@mail.sysu.edu.cn 热传导反问题已广泛应用于如航空航天工程、机械加工、化学工程、冶金等工程领域。数学不适定性使其很难快速稳定求解。我们近年来进行了一系列相关研究[1-5]。与传统的基于优化的方法不同，本工作针对薄板上三维瞬态热传导反问题，即通过薄板加热面上的温度测量信息估算上表面的瞬态热流分布，提出了两步直接法。基本思路是通过重构Dirichlet边界条件将该反问题转化为易于求解的正问题，以获得近似解。此外，我们提出了基于后验误差的时空自适应网格细化离散策略进一步提高计算效率。本工作采用COMSOL ... Read More
目前，很少有模型来描绘植被通对填埋场覆盖土甲烷传输、氧化和释放的影响。本研究的目的是利用模型分析的方法来分析植被对填埋场覆盖体甲烷传输、氧化和释放的影响。模型主要考察了植物关键生理特性如根结构、植物释氧强度、根长度、植物蒸腾速率以及环境因素如覆盖土初始含水率、环境温度等对甲烷氧化的影响。模型研究结果将有助于理解填埋场植被覆盖区甲烷释放机制以及选择合理填埋场管理方式减少温室气体排放。 本研究运用多孔介质稀物质传递、Richarcd 方程、达西定律、热对流等模块分析了植被覆盖条件下填埋场覆盖土中水、热、气传输耦合甲烷氧化 ... Read More
