Two Parameters

Shaped charges are widely used in the field of national defense because of their high energy density and strong directivity; however, one of their limitations is that the penetration diameter is small. Compared with a traditional shaped charge, an annular-shaped charge can create a larger penetration aperture at the target, thereby causing more damage to underwater targets. To enhance the damage effect of a shaped charge on an underwater structure, we designed an annular-shaped charge structure. To end this, we first established a velocity calculation model of the liner and analyzed its formation process. The hydrocode software Autodyn was used to simulate the jet formation process. Second, two parameters of the annular liner height and thickness of the bottom and their effect on the annular jet formation were analyzed. Finally, an experiment was conducted to validate the penetration capability of this charge. The experimental results indicate that the annular-shaped charge can penetrate a typical underwater structure and form a large penetration aperture with a diameter of 420 mm, which is 1.4 times the charge diameter. Furthermore, the numerical results show good agreement with the experimental data; only a 1.67% deviation was observed.

Effective Penetration

A new shaped charge annular cutter structure is put forward, and the process of annular jet formation and penetration into double plates is simulated by using ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The kinematic characteristic of annular jet in the air is analysed. The damage effect on the plates is got. The simulation results show that an intilted phenomenon exists on the forming process of annual jet, and the annular jet is stretched into several annular penetrators after penetrating the upper plate. The annular jet formed by annular cutter shaped charge in the paper can realize effective penetration into double plates, and the results can provide reference for the design of tandem warhead front shaped charge.

Solid Biofuel

Processes have been developed to produce a solid biofuel with high energy density and low ash content from kraft lignin precipitated from black liquor. Pilot-scale tests of the lignin biofuel were carried out with a 150 kW powder burner and a 12 MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler. Lignin powder could be fired in a powder burner with good combustion performance after some trimming of the air flows to reduce swirl. Lignin dried to 10% moisture content was easy to feed smoothly and had less bridging tendencies in the feeding system than did wood/bark powder. In the CFB boiler, lignin was easily handled and cofired together with bark. Although the filter cake was broken into smaller pieces and fines, the combustion was not disturbed. When cofiring lignin with bark, the sulfur emission increased compared with bark firing only, but most of the sulfur was captured by calcium in the bark ash. Conventional sulfur capture also occurred with addition of limestone to the bed. The sulfur content in the lignin had a significantly positive effect on reducing the alkali chloride content in the deposits, thus reducing the high temperature corrosion risk.

Low Grade Heat

Solar energy and ambient heat are two inexhaustible energy sources for addressing the global challenge of energy and sustainability. Solar thermal battery based on molecular switches that can store solar energy and release it as heat has recently attracted great interest, but its development is severely limited by both low energy density and short storage stability. On the other hand, the efficient recovery and upgrading of low-grade heat, especially that of the ambient heat, has been a great challenge. Here we report that solar energy and ambient heat can be simultaneously harvested and stored, which is enabled by room-temperature photochemical crystal-to-liquid transitions of small-molecule photoswitches. The two forms of energy are released together to produce high-temperature heat during the reverse photochemical phase change. This strategy, combined with molecular design, provides high energy density of 320-370 J/g and long-term storage stability (half-life of about 3 months). On this basis, we fabricate high-performance, flexible film devices of solar thermal battery, which can be readily recharged at room temperature with good cycling ability, show fast rate of heat release, and produce high-temperature heat that is >20<sup> o</sup>C higher than the ambient temperature. Our work opens up a new avenue to harvest ambient heat, and demonstrate a feasible strategy to develop high-performance solar thermal battery.
