Study on the Effect of Hydrocarbon Group Composition on Physical and Chemical Properties of Jet Fuel by Jialin DAI, Yuteng DU, Tongtong HU, Ming LI, Lusheng LI, Chunsheng HUANG

“…An increase or decrease in paraffin mass fraction led to a decrease in flash point and naphthalene hydrocarbon volume fraction, whereas paraffin and naphthene mass fractions had negligible effects on net calorific value per mass, corrosiveness, thermal stability, gum mass concentration, water reaction interface condition, water reaction separation degree, and water separation index. When blending aviation alternative fuels with traditional jet fuel, the physicochemical properties of the blended fuel can be predicted to a certain extent based on the influence rules of hydrocarbon group composition on jet fuel properties, thereby reducing experimental trials and improving efficiency.…”

Ballistic Testing of an Aerogel/Starch Composite Designed for Use in Wearable Protective Equipment by John LaRocco, Taeyoon Eom, Tanush Duggisani, Ian Zalcberg, Jinyi Xue, Ekansh Seth, Nicolas Zapata, Dheeraj Anksapuram, Nathaniel Muzumdar, Eric Zachariah

“…Notably, aerogels are light, but traditionally fragile, non-Newtonian fluids, such as shear-thickening fluids, which generate more resistance when compressive force is applied. Herein, a composite material was developed by baking a shear-thickening fluid (i.e., starch) and combining it with a commercially available aerogel foam, thus maintaining a low cost. …”

Evaluation method of hydrophobicity of composite insulators based on improved Mask R-CNN by SHENG Fei, CAO Liu, LIU Yulong, HUANG Jie, HUANG Yaqian, ZHU Yanqing

“…To ensure the safe operation of power system, it is necessary to discriminate the hydrophobicity level online of composite insulators in time. In order to improve the generalization ability of composite insulator hydrophobicity state evaluation model, and solve the problem that the existing classification models only focus on the parts with good hydrophobicity when evaluating the composite insulators with uneven hydrophobicity degree. …”
