Abstract: To prepare shape-stabilized phase change material applicable in digester insulation, firstly to prepare composite phase change material by sol-gel method. Shape material was obtained by sol-gel with TEOS, in which phase change material was lauric acid/cetyl alcohol binary eutectic phase change materials. T he result s showed that the descending order of the influencing factors: ester-PCM ratio, ester -water ratio, pH, the react ion temperature, aging temperature. The best technology is: the ester -water ratio1:8, ester-PCM ratio1:2.3, pH3, aging temperature 85°C, the react ion temperature 60°C. When composite phase change material was prepared with the best technology, phase transition temperature of composite phase change material is 34°C, phase change enthalpy can reach 122.4J/g when the mass fraction of phase change material is 64%.

Abstract: The effect of compound modification and various kinds of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of the low chromium white cast iron was studied.The results showed that,after modification,the carbide morphology in cast iron has been greatly improved;the annealed modified cast iron is suitable for machining;both martensitic quenching and austempering can cause the hardness and the impact toughness of modified cast iron increase greatly.

Abstract: The effect of austenitizing temperature, heating time and tempering temperature on hardness and impact toughness of low chromium white cast iron was studied by orthogonal test. The optical microstructure was used to analyze the reasons of changes on mechanical properties. The results showed that the hardness increases at beginning and then decreases with the increase of each parameter, high impact toughness can be obtained at high tempering temperature and high austenitizing temperature, the descending order of influence on hardness and impact toughness is austenitizing temperature, heating time, tempering temperature.

Abstract: The moisture absorption characteristic of the humidity-controlled materials at different relative humidity was studied by experiment and the moisture equilibrium content under different humidity condition was obtained. At the same time, the humidity-controlled composite building blocks in greenhouse were successfully developed. The experiment of the humidity-controlled composite building blocks shows that the humidity-controlled composite building blocks can realize the humidity control without the high power consumption, operation inconvenience or polluted the environment etc. compared with the traditional dehumidification method. The humidity-controlled composite building blocks in greenhouse have the very good application prospects.

Abstract: According to internal heat and moisture transfer coupling equations for the humidity-controlled composite materials in greenhouse, the analytical solutions are obtained under the steady periodic conditions, then the moisture desorption and adsorption properties of humidity-controlled composite materials in a closed space are investigated. It shows that the air humidity ratio in the closed space changes periodically in consistent with the air temperature. The ratio of the absolute humidity amplitude to the air temperature amplitude is a constant, which can be taken as a criterion to evaluate the humidity control performance of the material. A simple method, the close box and heat impulse method is put forward to measure the constant value. It can directly embody humidity-controlled traits of materials under the condition of periodic heat and moisture.
