The calculated region was spitted by structure grid and the numerical simulation of whole flow field was performed. The results showed that due to the mouth ring leakage, turbulent kinetic energy was the greatest near this region, and the turbulent kinetic energy in the volute was greater than one in the impeller at the design condition. In addition, comparisons between experiment results of pump performance, PIV test results and CFD computations showed that they were in good agreement, which also validated the numerical result. At last the following conclusions were obtained: affected by the fact that the angle between relative velocity and circumferential direction was became larger with the increasing of the flow rate, when the flow rate was 0.6 Qopt and Qopt, partial fluid in the eighth section return to the first section through the volute, so, there were great velocity and velocity gradient in the region between the tongue and volute inlet. For 1.4 Qopt, this phenomenon disappeared, and at the region near the eighth section, its velocity was maximum, which leaded to a larger velocity gradient. Besides, at the flow rate of 1.4 Qopt, in the region between the first section and the fifth section, three high-speed wake regions from the impeller outlet could be obviously observed.

To deal with this problem, a desired compensation robust controller (DCRC) with friction compensation was constructed. First, based on the frequency domain analysis of the friction data, a new friction model, which is the combination of Stribeck model and sine/cosine functions, was involved to model the friction of harmonic-drive-based joint. Second, DCRC was designed to handle the effect of joint friction and model uncertainties. In this control scheme, a feed-forward term calculated off-line using desired motion data was designed to avoid introducing measurement noise and improve the real-time performance. In this term, the joint friction compensation was also included. A robust term was designed utilizing the bounds of the uncertainty to guarantee the robustness. In addition, the globally uniformly ultimately bounded stability of the resulting closed-loop system was proved by using Lyapunov theory. Finally, experimental results illustrate that adopting the proposed friction model and controller, stable trajectory tracking at low speed can be achieved, and the average tracking error in joint space is less than 0.005°.

The head of the pump at SOC was predicted based on CFD results. Through the comparison and analyses, it was concluded that the average head prediction errors was 4.7% compared with test result. There were two eddies in impeller flow passage No.1 and the rotation direction was opposite. The velocity at volute diffusion part was very small. The high speed area of the pressure surface in impeller flow passage No.1 increased first and then decreased. The pressure distribution in the volute changes evidently, and the high pressure area of the pressure surface in impeller flow passage No.1 at the exit area constantly decrease as the impeller rotates. There are always six different sizes of vortexes at the impeller inlet and the vortexes nearly block the whole impeller passage.

The noble cycle was analyzed by thermodynamic method and the forums to calculate performance indexes were deduced. Take water as the phase-changing fluid for example, the influence rules between injection parameters and cycle performance were studied. The result demonstrates that the injection of water could alleviate heat load and enhance the power of engine, while the efficiency would be decreased compared with the traditional dual cycle. When the injection mass of water and fuel are equal at one cycle, the efficiency drops by 5.79% and the power rises by 6.36%.

Raman spectrums at different points were measured, and characterizations of the spectrums were compared. The results showed that the Raman spectrum of engine particulates was composed of five peaks and the Raman shift of the peaks changed within a very small range. Every characterization parameter describing the structure and components of particulates varied with the different measuring points, i.e. as the measuring point shifted backward, the ID1/IG decreased, ID2/IG increased, ID3/IG, ID4/IG and IALL/IG had the trend of first increase and then decrease, which indicated that the changing process of structure and components of the particulates was not only a physical process but also a chemical one. On behalf of the degree of graphitization of the particulates of ID1/IG increased with the backward shift of the measuring point, but the organic fractions in the particulates reached maximum.

A computational model was established for solving the temperature field distribution of the refrigerated truck. The model took the wind speed at the air conditioning outlet, air temperature, cars wall and cargo area temperature of the refrigerated truck as the initial boundary conditions. The unsteady shear stress transport (SST) k-ω model of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the temperature field distribution on different boundary conditions and stack methods in the refrigerated truck. Under specific boundary conditions with alternating the wind speed in the outlet and the cargo stack mode, the model could determine the best outlet wind speed and stack way of cargo through comparative analysis. The results showed that when the wind speed was 5 m/s and stack methods was void in the middle and two sides, the temperature field distribution in the refrigerated truck was the best uniform. The tests showed that the simulated values were in a sound agreement with the measured ones and the average absolute error of the temperature was not higher than 1°C.

Through building a model of water evaporation at high temperature, heat and mass transfer coupling for litchi multi-layer structure, using the Fluent software to simulate the temporal variations of temperature, pressure and velocity in litchi drying process, the difference between simulation result of water volume fraction in this process and experimental value was compared. The results show that the pore structure exists a self similarity in each surface of litchi shell, average porosity is 0.516±0.032; when litchi is dehydrated at 70°C, temperature of the fruit body conducts from shell towards its interior and reaches the equilibrium state gradually; a negative pressure is gradually increasing on its inner surface; water vapor on the flesh surface is with low velocity and small pressure difference, but with the time increase of loss water, the fluctuation of vapor velocity and differential pressure increase too. It's showed that the simulation result can be better corresponded with the experimental value. These research results would provide a reference for other multi-layer structure fruit drying process.

Then the data was extracted through image processing methods. A part of the original line scan image was selected as a template. The ear image with exactly 360° views was cropped according to the normalized cross correlation of the template with the original image. Otsu method was used to segment the maize kernels, but the kernels on the image borders were split into two parts. The connectivity of those two parts of one kernel on both borders was taken as a clue to merge them into ones. This process improved the counting accuracy of kernel numbers. The row number of the kernel was obtained from the image projection method. The profile of projection was smoothed to solve the extreme points as the row number. Experiment results showed the counting accuracy of kernels numbers and kernel rows numbers were 94.6% and 99.1%, respectively.

Single-, double-and four-component of bio-oil was investigated to evaluate the adsorption behavior. The results showed that the adsorption characteristics of each component were different. For single-component adsorption in 24 h, the adsorption capacity of each component by bamboo charcoal in declining order was furfural, acetic acid, phenol and glucose. When adsorption equilibrium achieved, the adsorption capacity of phenol would exceed that of acetic acid. In double-component of furfural and glucose system, furfural was showed strongly selective adsorption characteristics by bamboo charcoal. In four-component system, the adsorption capacity of each component was declined especially for acetic acid. Further more, concentration mutation was presented among acetic acid and some component which suggested that the well adsorbed furfural displaced some of the weak adsorbate. The adsorption capacity of glucose was little under all the experimental operating conditions.

According to the concrete structural characteristics of 5-DOF apple picking robot manipulator and obstacle, the manipulator model and obstacle model were analyzed. On the basis of retaining the merits of the traditional artificial potential field method which had simple structure and easy implement, for some of the shortcomings of its existence, such as local minimum points, the stuck district, combined with the characteristics of obstacles in the apple growing environment, a virtual target point was introduced to help the search process escape local optimal minimum point and obtain an optimization smooth motion curve. This method was applied in the obstacle avoidance path planning experiment for the apple picking robot manipulator, which included end-effector, obstacle and targets position. The experimental result showed that the proposed method was simple and enabled to overcome the shortcoming of traditional artificial potential field method.

The results showed that O2 concentration in high oxygen package decreased from initial 80 kPa to 50 kPa after 50 h, while it declined slowly in control. The CO2 concentration under both treatments increased gradually, and it reached the maximum value at the end of storage. The predicted concentration of O2 and CO2 fitted well with the experimental value. The respiration of mushroom under high oxygen was well described by the CO2 production rate.

All wall boundaries were set as free slip wall conditions. Under the fraction volume of 0.1, the effect of the different diameters (0.1 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.75 mm) of solid particles on the slip velocity on the wall of flow-passage parts was studied. The results show that the slip velocity of solid particles increases along with the increase of the particle diameter. And solid particles gradually accumulate near the wall of press surface. There are three places where slip velocity of solid particles is larger and erosion of wall is more serious, such as the head of blade and the blade trailing edge, also the shroud part close to the back pressure side of blade.

Image acquired with acommercially available digital camera were used to make measurements on 10 Platanus orientalis stems. Laser spot was used as scale instead of pole. The laser spot was extracted from the background by the 2-D Otsu algorithm. Error studies showed that the laser spot should be set at 1.3 m high to improve the measurement accuracy. The accuracy of this method for measuring diameters at breast height was tested by comparing the results with those obtained from caliper. The comparison showed that the photographic method provided a good assessment of standing tree diameters at breast height and the maximum error was 1.22%.

The proposed model took the axial, torsional and bending vibrations of the screw into consideration by the Euler-Bernoulli beam elements with axial and torsional theories. The servo subsystems and the other more rigid components were modeled by the lumped parameter method. The flexible ball screw feed drive servomechanism was proposed, including the friction, backlash and the cutting disturbance. Compared with the experimental results, the hybrid model could accurately capture the structural dynamics of ball screw drives. Numerical simulation indicated that the nonlinearities of friction and backlash could cause velocity fluctuations at the low speed. The torsional and axial vibrations made the servo system unstable, especially in the high speed application.

On the basis of rigid body dynamic model, a dynamic optimization objective was proposed to minimize the maximum driven torque based on target trajectory and determined motion law. Based on this, a multi-objective planning problem under certain constraining condition was constructed and then through shortest distance ideal point method converted to single-objective optimization problem. An example revealed that the robot's dynamic performance was great improved by optimizing the robot's scale parameter. The decreasing range of upper and lower arm's joint torque peak were 9.782% and 8.207% respectively, which show that the optimal dynamic design method is reasonable and effective.

Three raw materials in mixture design were independent variables. The ratio of chicken manure and swine manure and the ratio of carbon and hydrogen in central composite design were independent variables. The methane potential was the response variable. The results indicated that the methane potential under co-digestion of three materials performed better than single and two components. The synergy effect of several materials improved the methane potential. Under optimized proportions, the actual methane potential was 1.62, 1.70, 1.66 and 1.73 higher than the expected value. Both mixture and central composite design were suitable for optimization the proportions of raw materials, but central composite design was more appropriate.

The results showed that when hydraulic retention time was 40 d, organic loading rate was 3 g/(L·d), daily methane yield of the reactor with trace elements and control reactor reached to 7.1 L/d and 6.7 L/d, respectively. The methane concentration in two reactors was 62.7% and 61.6%, respectively. When organic loading rate increased to 4 g/(L·d), the methane concentration of the control reactor decreased to 19.5%. However, it could keep stable at around 60% in the reactor with trace elements. Moreover, pH value in the control reactor dropped to 5.24 rapidly which demonstrated the failure of anaerobic digestion process, but it could perform stably at around 7.2 in the reactor with trace elements. A conclusion could be easily drawn that trace elements could improve the methane production efficiency and stability of anaerobic digestion process of food waste under the investigated conditions.

Based on the analysis of input and output function of the spherical four bar crank slider mechanism, the immanent connection between output function and its corresponding harmonic characteristic parameters was discovered. Based on this discovery, a numerical atlas with variable step size database of output angle function, which contains 42 185 groups of basic dimensional types, could be created by the harmonic characteristic components and associated basic dimensional type of spherical four bar crank slider mechanism. The best suitable basic dimensional type of spherical four bar crank slider mechanism for prescribed function was decided by using fuzzy identification method and numerical atlas database. Thus the function synthesis of spherical four bar crank slider mechanism was made possible. In order to improve the precision, the result could be optimized by genetic algorithm. The ventilation device of the greenhouse was taken as an example to illustrate the analysis process and application of this method.

For the fuels of different cetane number, the particle size was mostly between 5 nm and 300 nm and the particle size distributions were unimodal with peaks at 30 nm with medium or small load. Increasing cetane number appropriately could make the ignition delay period shorter and the sustained combustion period longer, which would drop the number of nuclei mode particles. Meanwhile, the number of nucleation mode particles increased with more sulphur in the fuel. With the cetane number increased, the percentage of SOF decreased and the percentage of DS increased.

The results of numerical simulation show that compared with CR17.5, CR16.8 and 16.2 can enhance in-cylinder turbulent kinetic energy, promote the mixture of air and fuel and lead to more homogeneous mixtures. The tested results show that compared with CR17.5 and CR16.2, CR16.8 can reduce BSFC because it can enhance burning rate, shorten combustion duration. CR16.2 will lead to an increase in BSFC due to its much lower compression ratio. The results of numerical simulation and test demonstrate that NOx and soot emissions of CR17.5 are highest of all at a given EGR rate under high load conditions. However, the final soot level of CR17.5 is lower than that of CR16.2.Compared with other combustion chambers, CR16.8 can reduce soot and improve the trade-off of NOx-soot due to its higher turbulent kinetic energy. The tested results concerning fuel injector matching show that relative to the fuel injector with straight holes, soot can be reduced and the trade off of NOx-soot can be improved greatly via using S4 and S5, both of which have taper holes.

Capacity and the energy consumption modeling were done, and isolines of capacity and energy consumption at different equipment technical parameters and material properties were drawn, based on the analysis of forming process and mechanics. Isoline distribution show that the greater mould diameter and mould rotation speed are, the more obvious influences of them on capacity and energy consumption become. Compared with other parameters, the frictions coefficient between material and roller as well as between material and circular mould have greater influence on equipment capacity, it can enhance the equipment capacity to improve the surface structure or surface material of the roller and circular mould; the influence of diameter ratio of roller to circular mould on the equipment capacity was larger than its influence on the energy consumption, the larger the parameter is, the lower the energy consumption for certain capacity becomes, so it is necessary to enlarge the parameter as much as possible.

And 7S was grafted with maltodextrin by using ultrasound-assisted to modify its properties. Taking the emulsifying activity (EAI) and emulsion stability (ESI) of the modified products as indexes, Box-Behnken model was used to optimize reaction conditions. In addition, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis were also investigated to verify that 7S molecule was grafted with the saccharide molecule. Response surface analysis revealed that the optimized modified conditions were as follows: the amount of maltodextrin of 9.5%, ultrasound time of 30 min, ultrasound power of 450 W. On these conditions, the emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) reached to 1.142 and 27.13 min, which were 60.59% and 57.06% times against the native β-conglycinin, respectively.

The strategy of first stockpile water and then irrigation was applied. Before irrigation every time, in accordance with the DTW-ILC algorithm, the irrigation water was calculated and then stored in the irrigation tank. The calculated irrigation water stored in pool was modified repeatedly close to the actual water consumption in agricultural irrigation. At the same time, the next irrigation water stored in the reservoir could be useful for preventing anhydrous irrigation. The simulation results showed that the actual water use in agriculture irrigation could be tracked well after several times of irrigation process.

In order to quantitatively analyze the influence of joint friction acted as non-conservative force on the mechanism dynamics, the calculation of the normal force corresponding to joint friction was important. For simplifying the dynamics model, the driving chain was treated as a rigid body so the driving friction could be seemed as internal force. Based on the "Coulomb viscous" friction model, the dynamics model with joint friction of up platform, driving chain and driven chain were built respectively by using Newton-Euler formulation, which could obtain the joint constraint forces/torques with giving motion trajectory of the mechanism's up platform. Subsequently, the driving friction models were established on account of the relationship between the driving chain's normal forces and joint constraint reactions. The iterative procedure of complicated dynamics equations was formulated for the effective simulation. The research results showed that joint friction forces significantly impacted on the driving forces of the mechanism.

The head coefficient, the efficiency and the shaft power were predicted by the simulation and then compared with the test data. In addition, the pressure and the relative velocity distributions were also analyzed. The results showed that the performance curves predicted based on the four selected turbulence models had basically consistent trends with the test data curves. Among the obtained results, the prediction results based on the standard k-Ε and RNG k-Ε model were more close to each other and the prediction results based on the k-ω and SST k-ω model were more close to each other. For the head coefficient and the efficiency, the prediction results based on the k-ω and SST k-ω model were more accurate under (0.6-0.9)Qd and the prediction results based on the standard k-Ε and RNG k-Ε model were more accurate under (0.9-1.3)Qd. For the mixed-flow pump model designed, it could be ensured that the performance prediction accuracy was within ±5%, which could meet the requirements of engineering calculation, by choosing k-ω model under (0.7-0.9)Qd and the standard k-Ε model under (0.9-1.2)Qd.

Compared with the traditional BP neural network, the root mean square error with ELM algorithm is less than 0.97, while the coefficient of determination is more than 0.92 and each training time is less than 0.03 s. This method provided the scientific basis for greenhouse environmental regulating and was verified to be feasible.

Technical design of the auto-picking seedling was carried out in order to acquire the theoretical relationship between pulling force, compressive strength of the bowl, gripping angle, gripping size and friction coefficient for the picking seedling end-effector of two-needle gripping type. The picking seedling end-effector adapting to mechanical properties of plug seedlings was designed according to the mechanical characteristics of plug seedling by using gripping parameters relationship. Gripping forces were studied by the physical prototype testing. Test results showed that there was no significant difference between gripping force testing data and calculated data, which demonstrated the reliability of the theoretical design. When the frequency of picking seedlings was 30 plants per minute, the success rate of picking seelings in the testing moisture contents was up to 95.16%.

External characteristic curves and head performances of cavitation were obtained. Through the analysis, critical NPSHc of three impellers, whose blade number were 3, 4, 5, was respectively 6.19 m, 5.122 m and 4.765 m. In severe cavitation area, the more blades the impeller had, the faster head declined with NPSH reducing. Aiming at the two cavitation type in axial flow pump: fixed cavitation on suction side and vortex cavitation in tip region, the cavitating distribution rule in different NPSH value was found. Compared among three impellers, in the same NPSH, the five blades impeller got smaller cavitating distribution on suction side, which meant lower cavitation degree. However, this impeller would get a sharp head decline when it came to severe cavitation area. Low pressure zone caused by tip leakage vortex moved and expanded to upstream with the decreasing number of impeller blades. Moreover, cavitating volume in the impeller with smaller blade number was larger than the others, and it indicated that this impeller's cavitation degree was severer than others. So the effect of blades number on different cavitation types and different NPSH was not the same.

The results showed that irrigation pattern correction coefficient was available to be indicated by the relative amount transpiration and having a good relationship of 6 times a function with the days after sowing. With different furrow irrigation ways, single crop coefficient showed the same pulse fluctuations trend, but in alternative furrow irrigation crop coefficient was smaller than conventional furrow irrigation. The crop water requirement deviations between that calculated by using single crop coefficient method and the measured value were less than 10%, which was in good agreement.
