Human reliability analysis of high-temperature molten metal operation based on fuzzy CREAM and Bayesian network.

ABSTRACT: Human errors are considered to be the main causation factors of high-temperature molten metal accidents in metallurgical enterprises. The complex working environment of high- temperature molten metal in metallurgical enterprises has an important influence on the reliability of human behavior. A review of current human reliability techniques confirms that there is a lack of quantitative analysis of human errors in high-temperature molten metal operating environments. In this paper, a model was proposed to support the human reliability analysis of high-temperature molten metal operation in the metallurgy industry based on cognitive reliability and error analysis method (CREAM), fuzzy logic theory, and Bayesian network (BN). The comprehensive rules of common performance conditions in conventional CREAM approach were provided to evaluate various conditions for high-temperature molten metal operation in the metallurgy industry. This study adopted fuzzy CREAM to consider the uncertainties and used the BN to determine the control mode and calculate human error probability (HEP). The HEP for workers involved in high-temperature melting in steelmaking production process was calculated in a case with 13 operators being engaged in different high-temperature molten metal operations. The human error probability of two operators with different control modes was compared with the calculation result of basic CREAM, and the result showed that the method proposed in this paper is validated. This paper quantified point values of human error probability in high-temperature molten metal operation for the first time, which can be used as input in the risk evaluation of metallurgical industry.

Spontaneous colloidal metal network formation driven by molten salt electrolysis.

Project description:The molten salt-based direct reduction process for reactive solid metal outperforms traditional pyrometallurgical methods in energy efficiency. However, the simplity and rapidity of this process require a deeper understanding of the interfacial morphology in the vicinity of liquid metal deposited at the cathode. For the first time, here we report the time change of electrode surface on the sub-millisecond/micrometre scale in molten LiCl-CaCl2 at 823?K. When the potential was applied, liquid Li-Ca alloy droplets grew on the electrode, and the black colloidal metal moved on the electrode surface to form a network structure. The unit cell size of the network and the number density of droplets were found to depend on the applied potential. These results will provide important information about the microscale mixing action near the electrode, and accelerate the development of metallothermic reduction of oxides.

High-temperature operation of a silicon qubit.

Project description:This study alleviates the low operating temperature constraint of Si qubits. A qubit is a key element for quantum sensors, memories, and computers. Electron spin in Si is a promising qubit, as it allows both long coherence times and potential compatibility with current silicon technology. Si qubits have been implemented using gate-defined quantum dots or shallow impurities. However, operation of Si qubits has been restricted to milli-Kelvin temperatures, thus limiting the application of the quantum technology. In this study, we addressed a single deep impurity, having strong electron confinement of up to 0.3?eV, using single-electron tunnelling transport. We also achieved qubit operation at 5-10?K through a spin-blockade effect based on the tunnelling transport via two impurities. The deep impurity was implemented by tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) instead of conventional FETs. With further improvement in fabrication and controllability, this work presents the possibility of operating silicon spin qubits at elevated temperatures.

Estimating uncertainty and reliability of social network data using Bayesian inference.

Project description:Social network analysis provides a useful lens through which to view the structure of animal societies, and as a result its use is increasingly widespread. One challenge that many studies of animal social networks face is dealing with limited sample sizes, which introduces the potential for a high level of uncertainty in estimating the rates of association or interaction between individuals. We present a method based on Bayesian inference to incorporate uncertainty into network analyses. We test the reliability of this method at capturing both local and global properties of simulated networks, and compare it to a recently suggested method based on bootstrapping. Our results suggest that Bayesian inference can provide useful information about the underlying certainty in an observed network. When networks are well sampled, observed networks approach the real underlying social structure. However, when sampling is sparse, Bayesian inferred networks can provide realistic uncertainty estimates around edge weights. We also suggest a potential method for estimating the reliability of an observed network given the amount of sampling performed. This paper highlights how relatively simple procedures can be used to estimate uncertainty and reliability in studies using animal social network analysis.

A Novel Molten Salt Mediated Synthesis of Mesoporous Metal Oxides with High Crystallization.

Project description:The controlled synthesis of mesoporous metal oxides remains a great challenge because the uncontrolled assembly process and high-temperature crystallization can easily destroy the mesostructure. Herein, we develop a facile, versatile, low-cost, and controllable molten salt assisted assembly strategy to synthesize mesoporous metal oxides (e.g., CeO2, ZrO2, SnO2, Li2TiO3) with high surface area (115-155 m2/g) and uniform mesopore size (3.0 nm). We find this molten salt mediated assembly enables the desolvation of the precursors and forms bare metal ions, enhances their coordination interaction with the surfactant, and promotes their assembly into a mesostructure. Furthermore, the molten salt assisted crystallization process can lower the collision probability of the target metal atom, inhibit its further growth into large crystals, and achieve a well-maintained mesostructure with high crystallization. Furthermore, this method can be expanded to synthesize various structured mesoporous metal oxides, including hollow spheres, nanotubes, and nanosheets by introducing the carbon template. The obtained mesoporous CeO2 microspheres loaded with Cu species exhibit excellent antibacterial performance and superior catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrophenol with high conversion and cycling stability.

Three-Stage Method Energy–Mass Coupling High-Efficiency Utilization Process of High-Temperature Molten Steel Slag

Project description:High-temperature molten steel slag is a large amount of industrial solid waste containing available heat energy and resources. This paper introduces an efficient and comprehensive utilization process of high-temperature molten steel slag. The waste heat energy in the high-temperature molten steel slag can be fully recovered through the three-stage heat exchange. Through mass balance and energy balance, the theoretical heat recovery rate can reach 81.42 pct when the waste heat stored in steel slag is converted into usable heat energy, and the exergy efficiency of the overall system is 27.93 pct. When the waste heat stored in the steel slag is converted for electric energy, the theoretical heat recovery rate can reach 24.49 pct, and the exergy efficiency of the overall system is 33.83 pct. When the waste heat stored in steel slag is used for cogeneration, the theoretical heat recovery rate can reach 83.98 pct, and the exergy efficiency of the overall system is 38 pct. The normal-temperature solid steel slag produced by the process is easy for iron selection and subsequent high value-added utilization. The solidification of steel slag in this process consumes a large amount of CO2 so that the free calcium oxide (f-CaO) in the steel slag is fixed, which is more conducive to subsequent utilization, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction. Compared with the utilization of traditional steel slag, this process can better utilize the energy and resources contained in steel slag and provides a new method for fully utilizing the waste heat energy and resource attributes of high-temperature molten steel slag.

Nanoscale Vacuum Diode Based on Thermionic Emission for High Temperature Operation.

Project description:Vacuum diodes, based on field emission mechanisms, demonstrate a superior performance in high-temperature operations compared to solid-state devices. However, when considering low operating voltage and continuous miniaturization, the cathode is usually made into a tip structure and the gap between cathode and anode is reduced to a nanoscale. This greatly increases the difficulty of preparation and makes it difficult to ensure fabrication consistency. Here, a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structural nanoscale vacuum diode, based on thermionic emission, was numerically studied. The results indicate that this device can operate at a stable level in a wide range of temperatures, at around 600 degrees Kelvin above 260 K at 0.2 V voltage bias. Moreover, unlike the conventional vacuum diodes working in field emission regime where the emission current is extremely sensitive to the gap-width between the cathode and the anode, the emission current of the proposed diode shows a weak correlation to the gap-width. These features make this diode a promising alternative to vacuum electronics for large-scale production and harsh environmental applications.

High-temperature operation of gallium oxide memristors up to 600 K.

Project description:Memristors have attracted much attention for application in neuromorphic devices and brain-inspired computing hardware. Their performance at high temperatures is required to be sufficiently reliable in neuromorphic computing, potential application to power electronics, and the aerospace industry. This work focuses on reduced gallium oxide (GaOx) as a wide bandgap memristive material that is reported to exhibit highly reliable resistive switching operation. We prepared amorphous GaOx films to fabricate Pt/GaOx/indium tin oxide memristors using pulsed laser deposition. Stable resistive switching phenomena were observed in current-voltage properties measured between 300 and 600 K. The conduction mechanism analysis revealed that the resistive switching is caused by the transition between ohmic and space charge limiting current conductions. We elucidated the importance of appropriate control of the density of oxygen vacancies to obtain a high on/off resistance ratio and distinct resistive switching at high temperatures. These results indicate that GaOx is a promising memristor material that can be stably operated even at the record-high temperature of 600 K.

In situ high-temperature EXAFS measurements on radioactive and air-sensitive molten salt materials.

Project description:The development at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, The Netherlands) of an experimental set-up dedicated to high-temperature in situ EXAFS measurements of radioactive, air-sensitive and corrosive fluoride salts is reported. A detailed description of the sample containment cell, of the furnace design, and of the measurement geometry allowing simultaneous transmission and fluorescence measurements is given herein. The performance of the equipment is tested with the room-temperature measurement of thorium tetrafluoride, and the Th-F and Th-Th bond distances obtained by fitting of the EXAFS data are compared with the ones extracted from a refinement of neutron diffraction data collected at the PEARL beamline at TU Delft. The adequacy of the sample confinement is checked with a mapping of the thorium concentration profile of molten salt material. Finally, a few selected salt mixtures (LiF:ThF4) = (0.9:0.1), (0.75:0.25), (0.5:0.5) and (NaF:ThF4) = (0.67:0.33), (0.5:0.5) are measured in the molten state. Qualitative trends along the series are discussed, and the experimental data for the (LiF:ThF4) = (0.5:0.5) composition are compared with the EXAFS spectrum generated from molecular dynamics simulations.

Fuzzy-clustering and fuzzy network based interpretable fuzzy model for prediction.

Project description:Interpretability is the dominant feature of a fuzzy model in security-oriented fields. Traditionally fuzzy models based on expert knowledge have obtained well interpretation innately but imprecisely. Numerical data based fuzzy models perform well in precision but not necessarily in interpretation. To utilize the expert knowledge and numerical data in a fuzzy model synchronously, this paper proposed a hybrid fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm and Fuzzy Network (FN) method-based model for prediction. The Mamdani rule-based structure of the proposed model is identified based on FCM algorithm from data and by expert-system method from expert knowledge, both of which are combined by FN method. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized to optimize the fuzzy set parameters. We tested the proposed model on 6 real datasets comparing the results with the ones obtained by using FCM algorithm. The results showed that our model performed best in interpretability, transparency, and accuracy.

High-throughput Bayesian Network Learning using Heterogeneous Multicore Computers.

Project description:Aberrant intracellular signaling plays an important role in many diseases. The causal structure of signal transduction networks can be modeled as Bayesian Networks (BNs), and computationally learned from experimental data. However, learning the structure of Bayesian Networks (BNs) is an NP-hard problem that, even with fast heuristics, is too time consuming for large, clinically important networks (20-50 nodes). In this paper, we present a novel graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated implementation of a Monte Carlo Markov Chain-based algorithm for learning BNs that is up to 7.5-fold faster than current general-purpose processor (GPP)-based implementations. The GPU-based implementation is just one of several implementations within the larger application, each optimized for a different input or machine configuration. We describe the methodology we use to build an extensible application, assembled from these variants, that can target a broad range of heterogeneous systems, e.g., GPUs, multicore GPPs. Specifically we show how we use the Merge programming model to efficiently integrate, test and intelligently select among the different potential implementations.
