Ice on aircraft wing changes the aircraft aerodynamic shape, and has negative effects on flight dynamic characteristics, seriously threatening flight safety. Plasma ice shape regulation is a new de-icing method. Plasma actuator produces an apparent thermal effect, which is designed to dissolve the continuous ice into intermittent ice pieces. How to achieve the optimal regulation ice shape to improve the flight dynamics characteristics under icing conditions is a technical problem restricting the application of this method. A simulation ice shape based on previous ice tunnel experiments and a scale model of swept wing were established. The aerodynamic parameters of no ice, full ice, and two regulation ice schemes were obtained based on wind tunnel. Six degrees of freedom flight dynamics model was established, and flight simulation had been carried out. As the analysis of trim characteristics, dynamic stability, and maneuverability, flight dynamics characteristics were better improved when the ratio of ice width to the mean aerodynamic chord was 0.15. The evaluation method of plasma ice shape regulation schemes was proposed. The proposed method, which can compare and optimize the arrangement of plasma actuators, realized the optimal regulation ice shape on the premise of balancing flight safety and energy consumption.

Hydrogels are popular materials for desalination and can significantly reduce the vaporization enthalpy of water; however, there are few reports on hydrogels with a controllable multilevel structural design for water evaporation. Herein, a calcium alginate and traditional Chinese ink-based evaporator (CIE) are proposed and fabricated using directed freezing technology to construct radial channels, followed by freeze-drying and physical cross-linking. Because of the squeezing of ice crystals and the shaping effect of the PDMS template, the prepared evaporator exhibits a sea-urchin-shaped highly geometrical centrosymmetric structure with numerous multilevel pore channels, which promotes the rapid transport of water under different solar incidence angles as the sun rotates as well as overcomes the structural shrinkage of the hydrogel caused by insufficient water supply.

Mountain lakes are particularly fragile ecosystems undergoing important ecological and depositional transformations associated with ongoing global change. However, the history of anthropogenic impacts on mountain lakes and their catchments is much longer, in many cases featuring millennia of summer pastoral farming. More recently, the growing demand for raw materials and energy linked to industrialization, particularly accelerated since the 19th century CE, meant a further increase in human impact on mountain areas.

Glycosylated peptides isolated from cheese whey have antifreezing activity.

Food Chem

December 2024

Department of Food Science, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), TN 37996, United States. Electronic address:

The glycomacropeptide (GMP) present in the cheese whey byproduct can be an excellent antifreezing agent due to its unique molecular structure. The objective of this study was to concentrate this peptide and investigate its ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) ability. Heat denaturation of the non-GMP proteins and preparative liquid chromatography were used to create fraction 1 (F1) and fraction 2 (F2) and these were tested using the splat assay and a modified sucrose sandwich assay to investigate their IRI activity.
