This type of tar separator can cool and condensing the tar, at the same time separates the droplets of the tar. It can be seen from the numerical simulation results of gas flow field, the results of gas movement of heat transfer show that wall cooling has a great influence on temperature field in the cyclone separator. The temperature field also presents the characteristics that the surrounding area gradually reducing with surrounding downward flow, and the central zone rising up with centering upward flow, and the radial temperature gradually reducing in the cyclone separator. The decrease of temperature leads to the increase in gas density and the decrease in gas viscosity and the increase in the tar droplets viscosity.

The results showed that the soil salinity content and EC value were in the following descending order: 380-450 cm loam soil layer, 0-120 cm loam soil layer, and 120-380 cm sandy soil layer. Soluble K and Cl- in reclaimed water had a strong leaching and migration ability, and reached the 450 cm depth, and the influences of reclaimed water irrigation on soluble K and Cl- changes were mainly in 0-450 cm soil layer and 0-250 cm soil layer, respectively. Soluble Ca2 and EC reached the 380 cm depth, but the influences of reclaimed water irrigation on soluble Ca2 and EC changes were mainly in 0-120 cm soil layer. The 380-450 cm soil layer played a role as a block layer for soil salinity leaching, and decreased the pollution risk of soil salinity ion to groundwater. It suggested that irrigation with reclaimed water with a quota of 52.5 mm, while irrigation 1time and 4 times or less during the summer maize and winter wheat growing seasons, respectively.

Results showed that with the delay of spark timing, flame development duration decreased gradually, and rapid burning duration increased gradually. Peak value of heat release rate and cylinder mean temperature showed a gradually decrease and backward shift, which induced a slow heat release process and high cylinder temperature in expansion stroke. Also, spark timing delay led to decrease in the peak cylinder pressure. Moreover, exhaust particles from GDI engine exhibited a bimodal size distribution including nucleation mode and accumulation mode particles. As the reduce of spark advance, total particle number concentration and peak value of particle number density in nucleation mode and accumulation mode decreased gradually, and peak size of accumulation mode particles showed a decreasing trend, but spark timing exhibited a slight influence on peak size of nucleation mode particles.

First, the algorithm was used in wavelet transform to generate image gradient according to the distribution and texture characteristics of buildings, and the generated gradient image was filtered through morphological reconstruction. Then, the background markers were extracted by local minimum and the building makers by adaptive global threshold. After both markers were fused, they were used to modify the weighted pixel Sobel gradient image for accurate image segmentation. The experimental results demonstrated that the algorithm could make up for a lack of the local extreme marker, and significantly inhibited both over-segmentation and the under-segmentation. As a result, the segmentation accuracy reached to 90.7%.

The soil core method and oven drying method were used to determine fine root dry weight density and soil water content. Sequential cluster analysis method was adopted to stratify the whole soil water profile into three layers, i.e. strong depletion layer (2.0-4.4 m), less strong layer (4.4-5.0 m) and weak depletion layer (5.0-7.0 m) based on the combined analysis of soil water content and the root dry weight density. This stratification result could well reflect soil water characteristic absorbed by root. In the strong depletion layer, fine root dry weight density decreased fluctuantly with the increase of soil depth, but soil water content was low and stable. While in the less strong layer, fine root dry weight density decreased continuously, soil water content presented increasing tendency. The maximum fine root depth was 5 m, there was no fine root in the weak depletion layer and soil water content increased obviously. This study determine the soil layer range of deep soil water depletion degree in densely jujube plantation. It shows that root distribution characteristic has an important effect on the deep soil water variation.

Due to gravity load, slop surface runoff was intercepted and stored in a hole through a slot to form a soil reservoir. By applying this method, the convergence of slop runoff was avoided, and water evaporation also decreased. The loss of soil and water was thus prevented. Some skills for application of this method were pointed out. Additionally, the design standard of "slot and hole" method was proposed. Based on the principle that the corresponding standard runoff was totally stored in the hole, the reasonable layout scheme was determined, and the relationship of the diameter of the hole to the distance between two adjacent slots was obtained. Moreover, the formatting process of the hole and seepage process were simulated by employing FEM, and then the variation laws of physical and mechanical parameters of the soil around the hole were obtained. The results demonstrated that the physical and mechanical parameters of the soil around the hole varied significantly in the area of 0.4 times diameter of the hole, and the porosity and permeability coefficient of soil decreased as the dry density and deformation modulus of soil increased.

The flow of working fluid in intake port and cylinder were analyzed. The cylinder mixture concentration distribution at 20°CA between the before and after improvement of combustion chamber under different injection timings were compared. The effect of ignition timing on engine combustion process was discussed. Results show that the overall uniformity of cylinder mixture concentration distribution at 20°CA is better than the original engine, and the mixture concentration for stable ignition could be formed in the two spark plugs gap with the injection timings of 420°CA and 440°CA. With the advance of ignition timing, combustion advances gradually, the maximum cylinder pressure and the maximum pressure rise rate increase. In addition, with the delay of ignition timing, flame development duration decreases gradually, while rapid burn duration decreases at the beginning and then increases.

The formation mechanism of the noise excitation sources of hydraulic noise and structural noise for axial piston pump was discussed. Then, aiming at elimination of the pressure overshoot in piston chamber, and control of the peak value and position of backflow into piston chamber, a forward design theory of distribution method with damping orifice and damping groove for axial piston pump was proposed. Finally, a valve plate was designed based on this design theory. The noise reduction effect of this valve plate was analyzed. Results showed that the application of this design method could reduce the flow ripple amplitude apparently and the pressure overshot could be almost eliminated. Because the structure of the damping groove was not appointed, this design theory can be used in the valve-plate design of different domestic axial piston pumps.

In the common rail fuel injection system, the injection temperature under engine working condition was simulated. With the Malvin particle measuring instrument, the variation of droplet diameter distribution was measured under different injection temperatures. The experimental results showed that the injection temperature was 281°C at fuel injection beginning under the stable rated conditions of S195 engine, and presented a downtrend during the injection duration.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs), at 1940 nm and 1800 nm respectively, were used as measurement and reference light sources. The photodiode received the light reflected from the soil surface to produce an output electronic signal, which was related to the soil moisture content. The received signals were put into a two stage pre-amplifier, an analogue/digital (A/D) transfer, and then were displayed and stored. A certain relationship was found between the output reflected light and soil moisture content. The experiment results showed that the distance from light sensor to soil surface had some influences on the intensity of received signal. According to the sensor structure, a certain distance could be chosen to make a better intensity and stability of reflected signal. The reflectance of the two light sources decreased with increase of soil particle size. There was a strong linear correlation between the relative absorption depth and soil moisture content, and the determination coefficient was 0.863.

Based on pump product testing system and image acquisition system, the cavitation pattern at impeller inlet under three different conditions were measured on the centrifugal pump closed experimental rig. Experimental results showed that the vapors generated at suction side of blade near the leading edge at first, but the location varied with the operation condition. With the decrease of NPSHa, the vapors generated at plurality of blades. The generation, development and collapse process obviously appeared with the rotation of impeller. When the head dropped seriously, the distribution of the vapors hardly varied with the rotation of impeller, and the vapor volume fraction near impeller hub was less than that at shroud side.

Under a series of given rotordynamic parameters, the RNG k-Ε turbulence model was applied in the simulation of whole flow field including front and back shrouds of pump. The influence of eccentricity on the external characteristics of the centrifugal pump and the impact of whirl frequency ratio on the internal flow field were analyzed. Then the distribution of the fluid-induced forces in the centrifugal pump and the effect of eccentricity and whirl frequency ratio on the fluid-induced forces in the centrifugal pump were investigated. According to the results, it could be drawn that the high efficiency area of centrifugal pump narrows as the eccentricity increases. Normal fluid force component Fn and tangential fluid force component Ft were both approximate into a quadratic function relation against the whirl frequency ratio ω/Ω, influenced by the eccentricity. The fluid-induced forces acting on the impeller were mainly generated by the internal fluid of impeller and uneven circumferential pressure distribution inside. In the centrifugal pump, when ω/Ω>0, vortexes within the impeller were less, hydraulic loss was lower and so restrained the whirling motion; when ω/Ω<0, vortexes within the impeller were more, hydraulic loss was higher and thus promoted the whirling motion.

Flip factors of the double-blade centrifugal pump were calculated with Stodola formula, Weisner formula and Stechkin formula and all the results were compared with experimental values at the seven conditions. Weisner formula, whose calculation errors were the smallest, was corrected on the basis of experimental values. And a double-blade impeller was redesigned to verify correct formula. The results showed that the calculation errors of corrected slip factors at the seven conditions were less than 3.5% and the maximum error was 3.23%.

A technology of in-situ unpowered biofiltration was studied to remove ammonia gas in chick houses. Analytical parameters included inorganic nitrogen compounds, pH value, and electrical conductivity (EC) of the superficial and inner media. Results of 37 d operation in synchronization with a whole circle for chick brooding showed that, in the superficial media, the maximum ammonia elimination capacity was higher than 4.03 g/kg, the maximum ammonium nitrogen absorption ability achieved 1.59 g/kg, the highest nitrate nitrogen content achieved 2.69 g/kg, and nitrite nitrogen content was nearly 0, pH value showed a decreasing trend in the range of 8.81-7.39, and EC kept increasing with the highest increment of 2.30 mS/cm. However, the contents of ammonium, nitrate and total inorganic nitrogen as well as EC in inner media were far lower than those in superficial media. It suggested that further work should be done towards optimization of media depth setting. In conclusion, in-situ unpowered biofilter exhibited high ammonia elimination capacity and could be applied for contaminated air degradation in chick houses.

The surfaces of fibers were pretreated by five methods, such as NaOH, soaked in acetic acid solution, hydrothermal treatment, steam explosion treatments and microwave treatment. Then, they were compounded with coupling agent treatment. The wheat straw/PP composites were prepared by melt blending and molding. The microstructure of wheat fibers after different surface treatments was observed by stereo microscope. The infrared spectroscopy of wheat straw fibers after different surface treatments was examined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technology. The tribological properties of PP composites filled with different surface treated wheat straw fibers were investigated by using M-2000A abrasion testing machine. The results showed that NaOH, hydrothermal treatment and steam explosion treatments had significant impact on the chemical composition of wheat straw fiber. The tribological properties of PP composites filled with combined treated fibers excelled than that of the composites filled with coupling agent treated fibers.

The full-coupled working process simulation model with variable altitude adaptation on certain heavy-duty vehicle propulsion (diesel engine and auxiliary system) was set up. According to the quasi steady state flow uniformity resistance and heat transfer equations, air intaken system resistance model were established. Based on 1-D unsteady compressible fluid dynamics theory and heat transfer theory, the working model of fuel injection system was erected. Considering the effect of lubricating oil on heat transfer, the engine cooling system model was established. Auxiliary system model and the working process of the engine were coupled, that means, the boundary conditions was two-way delivered. Simulation model were verified by experiment. The results show that the power reduces by 45% and fuel consumption increases by 71% at maximum at 4500 m altitude under external characteristic working condition. The heat quantity of cooling liquid in heat-flux distribution increases by 48.6%. The temperature field of piston-cylinder sleeve-cylinder head raises apparently, the peak temperature increases by 85-91 K. The delivery lift of water pump drops by 3.9 m at most at 3700 m altitude.

Fruit cucumber Deitastar was chosen as the object. A CCD camera with special filters was used to collect cucumber leaves' images in different growth time. After eliminating noise of image with wavelet transform, the images were separated based on grey theory. Correlation analysis between nitrogen content and each kind of vegetation index of cucumbers was conducted, and t tests to those coefficients of correlation were executed. The result showed that CNDVI, GNDVI, NDVI and NDGI were significantly related to nitrogen content of cucumber leaves.

The results showed that the operation of the free-piston engine generator could be seen as a single degree of freedom damping system with forced excitations. Combining the energy conservation principle of the working process, the matching between the structure parameters and the performance parameters of free-piston engine generator was studied. Some necessary qualifications to achieve stable operation of the free-piston engine generator were obtained through coupling analysis calculation by using an energy equilibrium method. The analysis conclusion was validated on a prototype by simulation.

Software of simulating sprinkler water distribution was developed by Visual Basic 6.0. With the radial water distribution data of single sprinkler, the software could simulate water distribution of single sprinkler or sprinkler irrigation system and calculate combined application rate, uniformity coefficient and evaporation loss rate of sprinkler irrigation system. Taking the sprinkler 9708A as example, radial water distribution of single sprinkler and water distribution of sprinkler irrigation system with the combined spacings of 14 m × 14 m and 14 m × 12 m were simulated and compared with the measured values under the pressures of 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 MPa. The results showed that the simulated values of radial water distribution of single sprinkler had the same tendency as the measured values on the whole, the relative error between simulated and measured values of flow rate ranging from 0.83% to 8.01%, that of the uniformity coefficient (Cu) ranging from 0.44% to 7.77%, and the simulated evaporation loss rate ranging from 0.51% to 1.75%. Several cases of sprinkler water distribution with different combined spacing were compared by using the developed software and other software. The relative error of the simulated values of Cu varied from 0.11% to 2.44%.

It has important significance on the precision irrigation. The variable nozzle with fan-shaped hole and static vane regulator was studied. Hydraulic performance, such as irrigation distribution and irrigation uniformity of variable nozzle under different pressure conditions was analyzed. Comparing with the traditional round nozzle spray domain, influence of variable vane regulator on nozzle performance and sensitivity to the working pressure were studied. The results of double factors repeated test showed that the single nozzle control area of variable precision irrigation sprinkler was reduced by 15.4% than the traditional round nozzle. The sprinkler irrigation evenness was increased by 9.5%. The sprinkler irrigation intensity was reduced by 15.7%. The range was reduced by 5.9%. The spraying domain coefficients reached to 64.0%. Combination evenness variance analysis results showed that the regulator and pressure as well as the interaction between them had significant influence.

The cell morphology, colony morphology, growing conditions, cultural characteristics and physiological characteristics were compared with the reference strain A. acidoterrestris DSM3922T. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis was constructed. The genetic location of eight isolated strains was clear. The isolated strain LC-4 was basically consistent with the reference stain Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM3922T in morphology and physiological characteristics. By 16S rDNA sequence analysis, isolated strain LC-4 shared a homology of 99% with the reference strain, so it belonged to A. acidoterrestris and the other seven strains belonged to Bacillus ginsengihuimi. The results suggested Alicyclobacillus was distributed in orchard soil, which might pose a threat to the quality of fruit juice, and needed to be controlled.

A calculating method of tree crown volume, named voxel simulation method, was presented based on 3-D laser scanning point clouds data. The main idea of this method was to use a certain size of voxel to estimate tree crown. Firstly, tree crown was cut into segments with a k step-length along tree height. For each segments, all the points were projected to a plane that perpendicular to tree height. Subsequently, the plane was divided into pixels with size of k×k. The effectiveness of each pixel depend on whether there were points projected in it. Then the effective pixels were counted and recorded as T. Finally, formula T×k×k×k was used to calculate the tree crown volume. When the k was equal to a tenth of crown diameter, the calculated crown volume was tending to stability. This algorithm did not need to consider the crown shapes of different tree species, which could reduce human's subjective factor influence. It could be used to calculate tree crown volume based on 3-D laser scanning technology.

In order to obtain the best frequency of 7-probes FDR with length of 28 mm and needle-to-needle spacing of 10 mm, scattering parameters of LF-UHF wave bands (1 MHz-3 GHz) in four kinds of soil were measured by using VNA. Though transformation based on Logsdon model and Laird model, four soil apparent dielectric permittivities were calculated and figured in Matlab. The mechanism of soil polarization was analyzed by soil dielectric spectrum analysis. The relationship between soil dielectric property and frequency was discussed. The working frequency of 44-398 MHz for FDR sensor was confirmed. Taking temperature into consideration, the ideal working frequency band was 62-110 MHz in which 75 MHz was the best. The soil dielectric value was only sensitive to soil moisture content under the best frequency. It was the ideal frequency for eliminating the effect of temperature and other factors on FDR sensor.

The experimental design included three PAM application rates (0, 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg) and four fly ash application rates (0, 5%, 10% and 15%). The treatment without fly ash and PAM was prepared as a control. The results showed that the addition of fly ash increased the concentrations of Cr and Ni in the surface sandy soil, while there was a decline in As concentration at high fly ash application rates (15%). The addition of PAM could stabilize a large quantity of heavy metals within topsoil to control their leaching risk as well as reduce the amounts of Cr, As and Ni absorbed by corn.
