Published: February 2015

We present a simple and inexpensive design for a multichannel effusive oven nozzle which provides improved atomic beam collimation and thus extended oven lifetimes. Using this design, we demonstrate an atomic lithium source suitable for trapped-atom experiments. At a nozzle temperature of 525 °C, the collimated atomic beam flux directly after the nozzle is 1.2 × 10(14) atoms/s with a peak beam intensity greater than 5.0 × 10(16) atoms/s/sr. This suggests an oven lifetime of several decades of continuous operation.

Investigation on 3D printing of shrimp surimi under different printing parameters and thermal processing conditions.

Curr Res Food Sci

April 2024

College of Food Science and Technology, Guangdong Ocean University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Products Processing and Safety, Guangdong Province Engineering Laboratory for Marine Biological Products, Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Seafood, Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Prefabricated Seafood Processing and Quality Control, Zhanjiang, 524088, China.

Improving the printing accuracy and stability of shrimp surimi and finding appropriate printing parameters and suitable thermal processing method can help to develop high value-added 3D printing products of shrimp surimi. It was found that in order to make the 3D printing products of shrimp surimi have higher printing adaptability (printing accuracy and printing stability reach more than 97%), by choosing nozzle diameter of 1.20 mm and setting the printing height of the nozzle to 2.

The feasibility of using microwaves to quickly stimulate automatic color change in 3D-printed food containing curcumin or anthocyanins was studied. Firstly, with a dual-nozzle 3D printer, stacked structures included mashed potatoes (MPs, upper part, containing anthocyanins) and lemon juice-starch gel (LJSG, lower part) were 3D-printed and post-treated using a microwave. The results indicated that the viscosity and gel strength (indicated by the elastic modulus (G') and complex modulus (G*)) of LJSG were improved with the increase in starch concentration, while water mobility was reduced.

Study on Soot Emission Characteristics of Methane/Oxygen Inverse Diffusion Flame.

ACS Omega

State Key Laboratory of High-efficiency Utilization of Coal and Green Chemical Engineering, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Ningxia University, Yinchuan 750021, China.

Inverse diffusion flame (IDF) is an effective and widely used reaction form in the process of noncatalytic partial oxidation (NC-POX) of gaseous hydrocarbons (such as natural gas and coke oven gas). However, soot is generated in the combustion chamber in the case of unreasonable feeding conditions, and thus causes serious damage to the wall and nozzle. In this study, the effects of the equivalence ratio ([O/C]), the oxygen flow rate, and the Reynolds number on the soot and CH* emission characteristics of CH/O inverse diffusion flame were comprehensively analyzed based on a hyperspectral imaging system.

A new instrument that bridges the gap between gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) mass spectrometry (MS) was developed. In this instrument GC-MS and electron ionization LC-MS were combined in one MS system with method based mode changing. The LC pneumatic spray formation interface to MS was mounted on top of an otherwise unused GC detector slot and was connected with a flow restriction capillary to the MS through the GC oven and into the MS transfer line, parallel to the GC capillary column.

Design and comparison of the Cs ovens for the test facilities ELISE and SPIDER.

Negative ion sources for fusion rely on the formation of negative hydrogen (or deuterium) ions by conversion of atomic hydrogen and positive hydrogen ions at a low work function caesiated surface. Cs is thus evaporated into the source to decrease the surface work function, which may change due to the removal and redistribution of Cs during plasma phases. To maintain a temporarily stable low work function during 1 h plasma, continuous evaporation of caesium is required, and this is performed by temperature controlled Cs ovens.
