Near-Infrared Light Triggered Sulfur Dioxide Gas Therapy of Cancer
摘要： The exploitation of gas therapy platforms holds great promise as a 'green' approach for selective cancer therapy, however, it is often associated with some challenges, such as uncontrolled or insufficient gas generation and unclear therapeutic mechanisms. In this work, a gas therapy approach based on near-infrared (NIR) light triggered sulfur dioxide (SO2) generation was developed, and the therapeutic mechanism as well as in vivo anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy was demonstrated. A SO2 prodrug-loaded rattle-structured upconversion@silica nanoparticles (RUCSNs) was constructed to enable high loading capacity without obvious leakage, and to convert NIR light into ultraviolet (UV) light so as to activate the prodrug for SO2 generation. In addition, SO2 prodrug-loaded RUCSNs showed high cell uptake, good biocompatibility, intracellular tracking ability, and high NIR light triggered cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the cytotoxic SO2 was found to induce cell apoptosis accompanied with the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the damage of nuclear DNA. Moreover, efficient inhibition of tumor growth was achieved, associated with significantly prolonged survival of mice. Such NIR light-triggered SO2 therapy may provide an effective strategy to stimulate further development of synergistic cancer therapy platforms.

‘Planetary’ silver nanoparticles originating from a magnetron sputter plasma
摘要： In a gas aggregation cluster source, nanoparticles are formed by aggregation of single atoms to particles as well as by agglomeration of smaller particles to form larger particles. Because the small particles are often electrically charged, it is possible that particles are mutually attracted or repelled by electric forces. In this work we report the observation of bound multi-nanoparticle systems which are the result of the electrical and centrifugal forces acting on nanoparticles in a magnetron sputtering cluster source. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the deposited ‘planetary’ nanoparticle systems exhibits characteristic inter-particle distances and sizes, consistent with different charge states of the particles. Simulations confirm the presence of metastable bound nanoparticle systems up to at least 7/8 satellites. The discovery of such ‘planetary’ nanoparticle systems inside a cluster source opens up possibilities for more research into their properties and how they can be further controlled and explored.

High sensitivity fiber optic sensor for hydrogen detection in gas and transformer oil
摘要： This paper reports on the characterisation of a palladium (Pd) based fiber optic hydrogen (H2) sensor for health monitoring of distribution and power transformers in the electrical grid. The sensor consists of a Pd foil, which expands due to H2 absorption, and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that measures this expansion. Fifteen sensors were manufactured and characterised in gas and oil environments at various H2 concentrations and temperatures. In gas, the sensors were evaluated at 60°C, 75°C, 90°C, 105°C and 120°C and H2 concentrations from 0.01 to 5%. In oil, the same sensors were evaluated at 90°C and dissolved H2 concentrations from 5 to 2700 ppm. Furthermore, the influence of carbon monoxide (CO), which is often present in transformers and can impact H2 response of the sensor, was investigated. At 90°C in gas, the response to 0.01%, and 5% H2 was on average 28 pm, and 719 pm respectively. At 90°C in oil, the response to 5 ppm, and 2700 ppm dissolved H2 was on average 11 pm, and 763 pm respectively. The average, relative accuracy is better than 20% over the whole measurement range in gas and for measurements above 100 ppm in oil. These specifications make the sensor a promising candidate for online monitoring of H2 in transformers.

[ASME ASME 2018 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (Friday 9 November 2018)] Volume 6A: Energy - Retrofitting Gas Turbine Units Parabolic Trough Concentrated Solar Power for Sustainable Electricity Generation
摘要： Shams1 is hybrid solar/natural-gas concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. The plant is also integrated with a booster gas-fired-heaters for steam superheating. In addition to direct fire-heaters to the heat transfer fluid (HTF) for supplying thermal energy during the night or whenever the solar irradiance level is dimmed. However, there is a more sustainable way to avoid power-generation-outages transient weather conditions without a significant plant reconstruction, i.e. integration with gas turbines. In this study, a thermodynamic model of Shams1 integration with gas turbines is developed to investigate the gas turbine capacity and the exergitic efficiency of the supplied gas with and without the gas turbine involvement. The HTF heaters will receive the needed thermal energy from the gas turbines exhaust gases instead of the direct fire-heater (case1). Another potential is replacing the booster fire heaters with the gas turbine system as well. (case2). A parametric study is conducted to determine the size and the requirements of a gas turbine system for the specified power target demand in addition to a feasibility study for the proposed system. The results showed that using two gas turbines for the HTF heater significantly improved the overall efficiency and reduces the CO2 emission. Replacing the booster heater with two gas turbines improves the efficiency up to excess air factor of 2.5.

Optical analysis of flame inception and propagation in a lean-burn natural-gas spark-ignition engine with a bowl-in-piston geometry
摘要： Heavy-duty diesel engines can convert to lean-burn natural-gas spark-ignition operation through the addition of a gas injector in the intake manifold and of a spark plug in place of the diesel injector to initiate and control combustion. However, the combustion phenomena in such converted engines usually consist of two distinct stages: a fast-burning stage inside the piston bowl followed by a slow-burning stage inside the squish area. This study used flame luminosity data and in-cylinder pressure measurements to analyze flame propagation inside a bowl-in-piston geometry. The experimental results showed a low coefficient of variation and standard deviation of peak cylinder pressure, moderate rate of pressure rise, and no knocking for the lean-burn (equivalence ratio 0.66), low-speed (900 r/min), and medium-load (6.6 bar IMEP) operating condition. Flame inception had a strong effect on the flame expansion velocity, which increased fast once the flame kernel established, but it reduced near the bowl edge and the entrance of the narrow squish region. However, the burn inside the bowl was very fast. In addition, the long duration of burn inside the squish indicated a much lower flame propagation speed for the outside-the-bowl combustion, which contributed to a long decreasing tail in the apparent heat release rate. Furthermore, cycles with fast flame inception and fast burn inside the bowl had a similar end of combustion with cycles with delayed flame inception and then a retarded burn inside the bowl, which indicated that the combustion inside the squish region determined the combustion duration. Overall, the results suggested that the spark event, the flame development inside the piston bowl, and the start of the second combustion stage affected the phasing and duration of the two combustion stages, which (subsequently) can affect engine efficiency and emissions of diesel engines converted to a lean-burn natural-gas spark-ignition operation.

Sensitivity-Selectivity Trade-Offs in Surface Ionization Gas Detection
摘要： Surface ionization (SI) provides a simple, sensitive, and selective method for the detection of high-proton affinity substances, such as organic decay products, medical and illicit drugs as well as a range of other hazardous materials. Tests on different kinds of SI sensors showed that the sensitivity and selectivity of such devices is not only dependent on the stoichiometry and nanomorphology of the emitter materials, but also on the shape of the electrode configurations that are used to read out the SI signals. Whereas, in parallel-plate capacitor devices, different kinds of emitter materials exhibit a high level of amine-selectivity, MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-systems) and NEMS (nanowire) versions of SI sensors employing the same kinds of emitter materials provide significantly higher sensitivity, however, at the expense of a reduced chemical selectivity. In this paper, it is argued that such sensitivity-selectivity trade-offs arise from unselective physical ionization phenomena that occur in the high-field regions immediately adjacent to the surfaces of sharply curved MEMS (NEMS) emitter and collector electrodes.

WO3 Based Gas Sensors
摘要： WO3 is a commonly used material for gas sensing. Although a great deal of research has been done on how to tune sensors based on WO3, no clear consensus exists on what characteristics are inherent to the metal oxide: This work looks at six different WO3 samples and aims to identify which characteristics are common to all materials. Specifically, the interaction of the samples with humidity is examined.

Gas Sensing with Iridium Oxide Nanoparticle Decorated Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： The properties of multi-wall carbon nanotubes decorated with iridium oxide nanoparticles (IrOx-MWCNTs) are studied to detect harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide and ammonia. IrOx nanoparticles were synthetized using a two-step method, based on a hydrolysis and acid condensation growth mechanism. The metal oxide nanoparticles obtained were employed for decorating the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes. Iridium-oxide nanoparticle decorated carbon nanotube material showed higher and more stable responses towards NH3 and NO2 than bare carbon nanotubes under different experimental conditions, establishing the optimal operating temperatures and estimating the limits of detection and quantification. Furthermore, the nanomaterials employed were studied using different morphological and compositional characterization techniques and a gas sensing mechanism is proposed.

Ambient Tracer-LIF for 2-D quantitative measurement of fuel concentration in gas jets
摘要： A novel ambient tracer LIF technique with addition of tracer into ambient gas is proposed in this study to quantitatively measure the two dimensional (2-D) fuel concentration distribution in high-pressure gas jets. Firstly, the fundamental principle of the ambient tracer-LIF technique is described, and the equation of fuel concentration in a jet is deduced from the ambient fluorescence intensity. In the ambient tracer-LIF technique, the on-site calibration can be performed, and much more degrees of freedom in selection of tracers or target fuels can be achieved in principle. Then, the experiments are carried out with the high pressure gas injected into the environment doped with acetone in an optical accessible constant volume vessel. The fluorescence in the ambient is induced by using the 266 nm laser, and is recorded by the ICCD camera. The dedicated image processing is implemented to reduce the uncertainty and obtain the quantitative fuel concentration distribution in the jet. The uncertainties of the measurement results are evaluated, including both the systematic and random errors. The uncertainty propagation analysis shows that the measurement uncertainty increases with the local fuel concentration decreasing, and at the boundary regions of the jet, where the mixture is over lean, the relative uncertainty goes up to 26%. Finally, the temporal variations of the fuel concentration distribution in the gas jet are presented, and the effects of injection pressure are discussed. These results are believed to be valuable for development of numerical models and combustion system designs.
