We demonstrate a neonlike argon-ion x-ray laser, using a short-pulse laser-irradiated gas puff target. The gas puff target was formed by pulsed injection of gas from a high-pressure solenoid valve through a nozzle in the form of a narrow slit and irradiated with a combination of long, 600-ps and short, 6-ps high-power laser pulses with a total of 10 J of energy in a traveling-wave excitation scheme. Lasing was observed on the 3p (1)S(0)?3s (1)P(1) transition at 46.9 nm and the 3d (1)P(1)?3p (1)P(1) transition at 45.1 nm. A gain of 11 cm(-1) was measured on these transitions for targets up to 0.9 cm long.

Understanding the puff-by-puff delivery mechanisms of key components of heated tobacco products is critical to developing product designs. This study investigates the puff-by-puff release patterns of key components in Natural Smoke Cigarettes (NSCs), which are designed to deliver nicotine without combustion by reducing oxygen content, utilizing a 30-s puff interval, a 2-s puff duration, and a 55 mL puff volume to simulate realistic smoking conditions. By establishing models to analyze the variation of nicotine, glycerol, 1,2-propylene glycol (PG), and water in different functional sections of the cigarette under controlled smoking conditions.

CO injection in shale reservoirs is more suitable than the conventional recovering methods due to its easier injectivity and higher sweep efficiency. In this work, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation is employed to investigate the adsorption/desorption behavior of CH-CH and CH-CH-CO mixtures in organic and inorganic nanopores during pressure drawdown and CO huff and puff processes. The huff and puff process involves injecting CO into the micro- and mesopores, where the system pressure is increased during the huffing process and decreased during the puffing process.

In response to challenges such as the rapid rise of water content, the rapid decline of periodic production, and the serious intrusion of edge and bottom water in heavy oil reservoirs after multicycle profile control, the flue gas-assisted steam huff and puff technology is proposed. By focusing on Block Cao128 in the L Oilfield as a research subject, the feasibility of applying the flue gas-assisted steam huff and puff technology in heavy oil reservoirs has been verified through the establishment of a three-dimensional geological model. Additionally, the injection and production parameters in steam huff and puff have been optimized.

A system for studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of fluctuations in the boundary of the W7-X plasma using the "Gas-Puff Imaging" (GPI) technique has been designed, constructed, installed, and operated. This GPI system addresses a number of challenges specific to long-pulse superconducting devices, such as W7-X, including the long distance between the plasma and the vacuum vessel wall, the long distance between the plasma and diagnostic ports, the range of last closed flux surface (LCFS) locations for different magnetic configurations in W7-X, and management of heat loads on the system's plasma-facing components. The system features a pair of "converging-diverging" nozzles for partially collimating the gas puffed locally ≈135 mm radially outboard of the plasma boundary, a pop-up turning mirror for viewing the gas puff emission from the side (which also acts as a shutter for the re-entrant vacuum window), and a high-throughput optical system that collects visible emission resulting from the interaction between the puffed gas and the plasma and directs it along a water-cooled re-entrant tube directly onto the 8 × 16 pixel detector array of the fast camera.

The technology of CO-enhanced gas recovery (CO-EGR) plays a pivotal role in the CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) industry, which helps to achieve a win-win situation of economic benefit and environmental benefit for gas fields. Shale gas reservoirs, with their unique geological and surface engineering advantages, are one of the most promising options for CCUS implementation. Focusing on shale formations within the mid-deep blocks of the Sichuan Basin, this study conducted competitive adsorption experiments using multicomponent gases.
