A pilot-operated solenoid valve is used to control ultra-high pressure vessels. However, it is difficult to understand its dynamic behavior because the valve operates under ultra-high pressure conditions and the driving unit moves in a multi-step fashion in a tight hidden space. This study aims to identify the system coefficient, especially the damping coefficient, required to analyze the dynamic behavior of a solenoid driving unit. Experiments to measure the dynamic behavior of the driving unit are conducted using two laser sensors and one accelerator. The damping coefficient is estimated using Matlab Simulink, by varying the damping coefficient to match the experimental results. The obtained system coefficients are modeled as equations of motion. It is verified that the valve motion consists of two sequential movements—Phase 1 by pilot plunger and Phase 2 by main plunger, pilot plunger, and the valve initiation time is as fast as 9.9 ms. The damping coefficient of each phase is estimated 0.001 N ∙ s/mm for Phase 1, 0.004 N ∙ s/mm for Phase 2.

Abstract GB/T 34019-2017 “Ultra High Pressure Vessels” is the most important national standard that applies to pressure vessel which design pressure value is greater than or equal to 100MPa (14.5ksi). There is no standard for Ultra-high Pressure Vessel, Then this standard fills the gap in the standard system of pressure equipment in China. This paper mainly introduces the concept and main content of the new national standard, including the materials, design methods and nondestructive testing of ultra-high pressure vessel.

Maraging stainless steels offer a large panel of high strength materials with good ductility and stress corrosion cracking resistance. Their mechanical properties compared to conventional 15-5 PH and 17-4 PH martensitic stainless steels show much better yield strength / toughness compromise for yield strength exceeding 1300 MPa. In the same time, fatigue resistance is significantly increased at high strength stress levels and material keeps good resistance to stress corrosion. These properties make them particularly suitable for ultra-high pressure equipment or high pressure rotating components submitted to high cyclic stresses. Their application for Pascalisation pressure vessels and ultra-high pressure compressors for ethylene gas is briefly presented.

Lettuce is an economically important crop that can be grown either in the field or greenhouse. Different challenges are present in either environment; therefore, cultivar selection is important. For hydroponic greenhouse lettuce there is relatively little published information on cultivar selection under different lighting sources. The objective of phase 1 was to determine the influence of lighting using high pressure sodium (HPS) or light emitting diodes (LED) on plant fresh weight, height, tip burn index, bolting, and Brix. Phase 2 was similar to phase 1 but with fewer cultivars (1) to allow for greater number of replicates per treatment per crop cycle. Each experiment consisted of three crop cycles over time per phase. Light sources were controlled using an algorithm, Light and Shade System Implementation (LASSI), to achieve a constant average daily light integral under each treatment and crop cycle. Electrical consumption and efficacy (fresh weight per kWh) from each treatment was estimated using data collected on power consumption from representative lamps multiplied by the number of fixtures and the hours fixtures were on per crop cycle. In phase 1, the fresh weight of 2 to 3 cultivars was greater under HPS and 1 to 2 cultivars under LED, depending on production cycle. The HPS-grown lettuce tended to have more tip burn and bolting in crop cycles 1 and 2, with cycle 3 showing similar tip burn incidence. Bolting was only consistently observed in one cultivar, ‘Teodore’. The LED array used less than half as much electricity as the HPS array, while producing relatively similar size lettuce, therefore, leading to electrical efficacies two- to three-times higher in LED than in HPS treatments. In phase 2, significant differences in height were found in ‘Greenstar’ and ‘Xandra’, with HPS producing larger plants than LED. Significant differences were also found in diameter in ‘Greenstar’, ‘Xandra’, ‘Locarno’, and ‘Crunchita’, with HPS again being larger than LED.

A review of conventional and optical measurement methods of ultra high pressure vessels (UHPVs) in-service was introduced. Typical engineering applications of these technologies were illustrated. The new trends of inspection methods of UHPVs were discussed. Owe to full-field, non-destructive imaging characteristics with high precision and sensitivity, optical measurement methods had gained more and more attention in recent years. Therefore, DIC was suggested to be developed for experimental inspection of UHPVs in 2D or 3D surface shape and deformations.

A novel structure of rigid package container (RPC) used in ultra high pressure food processing was presented, due to single and flexible food package occupying large volume and less repeat usage. This new container was designed in details, such as mechanical analysis on sealing process of o-rings and structural optimization on its key components of RPC. Experiments on the sealing properties had proved that this structure was reasonable and reliable in sealing, easy to assembly and disassembly, compact structure and light weight. Thus, the RPC could be applicable in many ultra high pressure vessels in food industry.

After having been told they were free to accept or refuse, pupils aged 6–7 and 10–11 (tested individually) were led to agree to taste a soup that looked disgusting (phase 1: initial counter-motivational obligation). Before tasting the soup, they had to state what they thought about it. A week later, they were asked whether they wanted to try out some new needles that had supposedly been invented to make vaccinations less painful. Agreement or refusal to try was noted, along with the size of the needle chosen in case of agreement (phase 2: act generalization). The main findings included (1) a strong dissonance reduction effect in phase 1, especially for the younger children (rationalization), (2) a generalization effect in phase 2 (foot-in-the-door effect), and (3) a facilitatory effect on generalization of internal causal explanations about the initial agreement. The results are discussed in relation to the distinction between rationalization and internalization.
