A look into the voltage plateau signal for detection and quantification of lithium plating in lithium-ion cells

Voltage plateau during relaxation or discharge after charging is a distinct signal associated with stripping of deposited Li metal and hence a feasible tool for online detection of Li plating in Li-ion batteries. In this report we present a physics-based model with incorporation of Li plating and stripping to gain a fundamental understanding of the voltage plateau behavior. Specifically, we focus on the internal cell characteristics when voltage plateau occurs and on key factors affecting the shape and duration of voltage plateau. Furthermore, the validity of using the duration of voltage plateau for estimating Li plating amount is assessed. It is found that the duration of voltage plateau depends on the rate of Li stripping, while the stripping rate is restricted by the capability of Li+ intercalation into graphite. Parameters like intercalation kinetics, solid-state diffusivity of graphite and cell temperature can substantially influence the voltage curves even with the same amount of Li plating. Further, we report an interesting phenomenon that during Li stripping one part of anode near the separator has net oxidation current (local stripping rate > intercalation rate), providing Li+ ions and electrons to the other part of anode near the foil which has net reduction current.

Residue detection for real-time removal of paint from metallic surfaces

Paint stripping from large steel ships and other metallic surfaces is a major issue in the maintenance and refurbishing of structures, and environmental concerns are greatly limiting the possible options. As a result, waterjet with water recycling has become the leading form of paint stripping and robotic manipulators with scanning bridges were constructed by various manufacturers to address this need. The application of such scanning bridges is slow and their access is constrained by the complex shape of the ship hull and various features on the surface. To overcome these limitations, a robotic system that is called Ultrastrip (UltraStrip Systems, Inc., Stuart, FL) is developed. This system uses magnetic wheels to attach the stripper to the structure and travel on it while performing paint stripping. To assure efficient paint stripping feedback data is required to control the travel speed by monitoring the paint thickness before and during the stripping process. Efforts at JPL are currently underway to develop the required feedback capability to assure effective paint stripping. Various possible sensors were considered and issues that can affect the sensitivity, reliability and applicability of the sensors are being investigated with emphasis on measuring the initial conditions of the paint. Issues that affect the sensory data in dynamic conditions are addressed while providing real-time real feedback for the control of the paint stripper speed of travel.

Characterization, Mechanism and Control Measures of V Segregation in Continuous Casting Billet of C-Mn Steel

To eliminate V segregation, which significantly deteriorates the homogeneity of continuous casting steel billets, V segregation in the C-Mn steel billet was observed by microscope, SEM and EDS. The formation mechanism and control measures for V segregation were proposed. Results show that many slim V segregation strips are distributed on an inverted conical surface and that most segregation strips start from the vertex of the inverted conical surface. A series of inverted conical surfaces containing V segregation strips periodically appears along the longitudinal direction of the billet. The microstructures in the V segregation strip are fine granular structures, while the microstructures outside the V segregation strip are coarse Widmanstätten. The V segregation strip also contains many inclusions and porosities. The formation mechanism for V segregation, which is illuminated by a physical simulation of Al-5wt pctCu alloy, is attributed to the fissure in the equiaxed dendritic network torn by solidification contraction. By controlling the percentage and distribution of equiaxed grains, the V segregation in the billet of C-Mn steel is completely eliminated.

Extraction of lithium from battery recycling wastewater using synergistic D2EHPA and TBP

The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) poses significant challenges, including the generation of large volumes of chemically complex wastewater. The composition of this wastewater is influenced by both the intrinsic chemistry of the batteries and the specific recycling processes employed. Notably, this wastewater contains economically valuable components, such as lithium, which can be recovered. Here, in this study, a solvent extraction (SX) process was investigated as a method to recover lithium from battery recycling wastewater, especially from anode-washing stage. Initially, various commercial extractants were evaluated, including di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), mono-2-ethylhexyl (2-ethylhexyl)phosphonate (PC88A), bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272), 2-hydroxy-5-nonylacetophenone oxime (LIX 84-I), tri-butyl phosphate (TBP), and their combinations. Among these, D2EHPA + TBP demonstrated a synergism to advance and maximize the lithium extraction. Subsequently, the effects of key parameters, including D2EHPA concentration, TBP concentration, contact time, initial pH, and aqueous-to-organic (A/O) phase ratio, were systematically investigated and optimized. A two-stage SX approach was employed to enhance lithium recovery. Under the optimized conditions of 30.0 vol% D2EHPA, 10.0 vol% TBP, 10 min of contact time, and a 1:1 A/O phase ratio, a lithium extraction efficiency of more than 88% in a two-stage solvent extraction was achieved. Lithium was subsequently stripped from the loaded organic solution using sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ). Using 2.0 M H 2 SO 4 , lithium stripping was achieved after two counter-current stripping stages at an organic-to-aqueous (O/A) phase ratio of 6:1. This stripping process enriched the lithium concentration by a factor of four compared to the original lithium concentration in the anode-washing wastewater. The recyclability of the synergistic D2EHPA + TBP system was also evaluated over four extraction-stripping cycles. The results demonstrated that the system maintained high extraction and stripping efficiencies.

Thermomechanical Design Optimization of Roll-to-Roll Manufactured Hybrid Metal Polymer Heat Exchanger

Metal based heat exchangers for ultra-low temperature (<100C) waste heat recovery (WHR) face high maintenance and material costs that surpass profits from recovery[1]. Low-cost polymer pipes suffer from poor thermal conductivity (~0.2 W/mK), and thus a low overall heat transfer coefficient. Thermal conductivity of polymers can be enhanced through systematic molecular alignment by stretching[2], chemical vapor deposition of extended polymers [3], surface grating [4], etc. However, these approaches suffer from scalability issues for WHR heat exchangers in terms of cost [3], and thermomechanical considerations [5]. In this work, we propose novel hybrid metal-polymer strips that are strategically designed to enhance thermal conductivity by cladding copper around polymer strips. The polymer strips with copper-clad edges are wound helically to form the pipes for a heat exchanger. Through finite element simulations, we optimize the design for enhanced thermal performance of the polymer-metal strips. We predict up to 20 % enhancement in overall heat transfer from a base polymer with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK. We show that the thermomechanical strains induced in the pipes can be reduced to < 0.2 % by strategically stacking and welding multiple polymer-metal strips. We verified the improved thermal performance of the roll-to-roll manufactured strips through a thermal conductivity measurement setup. The optimized design of hybrid metal-polymer pipes provides a scalable and cost-effective means for harvesting waste heat from ultra-low temperature sources. Thekdi, Arvind, and Sachin U. Nimbalkar.

Thermomechanical design optimization for low metal footprint in hybrid metal-polymer heat exchanger

Material and maintenance costs of metal-based heat exchangers surpass profits in waste heat recovery (WHR) from ultra-low temperature (<100C) sources [1]. A low-cost alternative like polymer pipes suffer from poor thermal conductivity (~0.2 W/mK), and a low overall heat transfer coefficient. Polymers’ thermal conductivity have previously been enhanced through systematic molecular alignment by stretching [2], chemical vapor deposition of extended polymers [3], surface grating [4], etc. However, these approaches suffer from scalability issues for WHR heat exchangers in terms of cost [3], and thermomechanical considerations [5]. In this work, we propose novel hybrid metal-polymer heat exchangers that are made from polymer-copper strips. Through finite element method (FEM) simulations, we first optimize the placement of copper around polymer strips to enhance the transverse thermal conductivity of the strips. The copper cladded polymer strips are wound helically in a roll-to-roll system to form the pipes for a heat exchanger. We then optimize the design of helically wound pipes to reduce thermomechanical strains to < 0.2 % at 100C and 40 psi working conditions. At 25 % volume fraction of copper in the pipe, we predict up to 20 % enhancement in overall heat transfer from a base polymer with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK. We also compare and contrast the thermomechanical performance of the optimized metal-polymer strips to random metal matrix composites. Finally, we experimentally verify the thermal conductivity of the optimized strips through bulk thermal conductivity and thermal interface resistance measurement setup. By systematically improving the design through FEM and experimental measurements, we provide an optimized design of hybrid metal-polymer pipes that provides a low metal footprint and cost-effective means for harvesting waste heat from ultra-low temperature sources.

Inviscid, nonadiabatic flow fields over blunt, sonic corner bodies for outer planet entry conditions by a method of integral relations

An investigation has been made into the ability of a method of integral relations to calculate inviscid zero degree angle of attack, radiative heating distributions over blunt, sonic corner bodies for some representative outer planet entry conditions is investigated. Comparisons have been made with a more detailed numerical method, a time asymptotic technique, using the same equilibrium chemistry and radiation transport subroutines. An effort to produce a second order approximation (two-strip) method of integral relations code to aid in this investigation is also described and a modified two-strip routine is presented. Results indicate that the one-strip method of integral relations cannot be used to obtain accurate estimates of the radiative heating distribution because of its inability to resolve thermal gradients near the wall. The two-strip method can sometimes be used to improve these estimates; however, the two-strip method has only a small range of conditions over which it will yield significant improvement over the one-strip method.

The Control Network of Mars: October 1984

Strips of Viking mapping pictures are being added to the planetwide control networks of Mars. These high resolution strips run from the Viking 1 lander site east to Airy-O, north along the 0 deg meridian to 60 deg latitude, southwest through the Viking 1 lander site to the equator, and along the equator encircling the planet. Everywhere along these strips, old points are incorporated in the measurements, thus assuring that the strips and planetwide net make a single large data set. The control points are much denser in the areas covered by the strips than in those regions not covered by strips and their coordinates of the control points is estimated to be less than 3 km and the error in longitude of a few points near Airy-O is less than 40 m. The horizontal coordinates of the control points on Mars have been updated with a single-block planetwide analytical triangulation. The standard error of measurement was 18.06 micron m. The longitude of the Viking 1 lander site was 47 deg.962 and the latitude 22 deg. 480. The latitude of Airy-O was -5 deg. 152.

Numerical-perturbation technique for stability of flat-plate boundary layers with suction

A numerical-perturbation scheme is proposed for determining the stability of flows over plates with suction through a finite number of porous suction strips. The basic flow is calculated as the sum of the Blasius flow and closed-form linearized triple-deck solutions of the flow due to the strips. A perturbation technique is used to determine the increment a(ij) in the complex wavenumber at a given location x(j) due to the presence of a strip centered at x(i). The end result is a set of influence coefficients that can be used to determine the growth rates and amplification factors for any suction levels without repeating the calculations. The numerical-perturbation results are verified by comparison with interacting boundary layers for the case of six strips and the experimental data of Reynolds and Saric for single- and multiple-strip configurations. The influence coefficient form of the solution suggests a scheme for optimizing the strip configuration. The results show that one should concentrate the suction near branch I of the neutral stability curve, a conclusion verified by the experiments.

Heat transfer in rotating serpentine passages with trips skewed to the flow

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of buoyancy and Coriolis forces on heat transfer in turbine blade internal coolant passages. The experiments were conducted with a large scale, multi-pass, heat transfer model with both radially inward and outward flow. Trip strips, skewed at 45 deg to the flow direction, were machined on the leading and trailing surfaces of the radial coolant passages. An analysis of the governing flow equations showed that four parameters influence the heat transfer in rotating passages: coolant-to-wall temperature, rotation number, Reynolds number, and radius-to-passage hydraulic diameter ratio. The first three of these four parameters were varied over ranges which are typical of advanced gas turbine engine operating conditions. Results were correlated and compared to previous results from similar stationary and rotating models with smooth walls and with trip strips normal to the flow direction. The heat transfer coefficients on surfaces, where the heat transfer decreased with rotation and buoyancy, decreased to as low as 40 percent of the value without rotation. However, the maximum values of the heat transfer coefficients with high rotation were only slightly above the highest levels previously obtained with the smooth wall models. It was concluded that (1) both Coriolis and buoyancy effects must be considered in turbine blade cooling designs with trip strips, (2) the effects of rotation are markedly different depending upon the flow direction, and (3) the heat transfer with skewed trip strips is less sensitive to buoyancy than the heat transfer in models with either smooth or normal trips. Therefore, skewed trip strips rather than normal trip strips are recommended and geometry-specific tests are required for accurate design information.

Defining the ATC Controller Interface for Data Link Clearances

The Controller Interface (CI) is the primary method for Air Traffic Controllers to communicate with aircraft via Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC). The controller, wearing a microphone/headset, aurally gives instructions to aircraft as he/she would with today's voice radio systems. The CI's voice recognition system converts the instructions to digitized messages that are formatted according to the RTCA DO-219 Operational Performance Standards for ATC Two-Way Data Link Communications. The DO-219 messages are transferred via RS-232 to the ATIDS system for uplink using a Mode-S datalink. Pilot acknowledgments of controller messages are downlinked to the ATIDS system and transferred to the Cl. A computer monitor is used to convey information to the controller. Aircraft data from the ARTS database are displayed on flight strips. The flight strips are electronic versions of the strips currently used in the ATC system. Outgoing controller messages cause the respective strip to change color to indicate an unacknowledged transmission. The message text is shown on the flight strips for reference. When the pilot acknowledges the message, the strip returns to its normal color. A map of the airport can also be displayed on the monitor. In addition to voice recognition, the controller can enter messages using the monitor's touch screen or by mouse/keyboard.

NASA/Air Force/Environmental Protection Agency Interagency Depainting Study

Many popular and widely used paint stripping products have traditionally contained methylene chloride as their main active ingredient. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has critically curved the allowable use of methylene chloride under the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants regulating Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities . Compliance with this rule was mandatory by September 1998 for affected facilities. An effort is underway to identify and evaluate alternative depainting technologies emphasizing those believed both effective and environmentally benign. On behalf of the EPA and in cooperation with the United States Air Force, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is conducting a technical assessment of several alternative technologies ( i.e. : chemical stripping, two CO2 blasting processes, CO2 xenon lamp coating removal, CO2 Laser stripping, plastic media blasting, sodium bicarbonate wet stripping, high pressure water stripping, and wheat starch blasting). These depainting processes represent five removal method categories, namely abrasive, impact, cryogenic, thermal, and/or molecular bonding dissociation. This paper discusses the test plan and parameters for this interagency study. Several thicknesses of clad and non-clad aluminum substrates were used to prepare test specimens. Each depainting process has been assigned a specimen lot, all of which have completed three to five stripping cycles. Numerous metallurgical evaluations are underway to assess the impact of these alternative depainting processes upon the structural integrity of the substrate.

Subsonic and Supersonic Flutter Analysis of a Highly Tapered Swept-Wing Planform, Including Effects of Density Variation and Finite Wing Thickness, and Comparison with Experiments

The flutter characteristics of several wings with an aspect-ratio of 4.0, a taper ratio of 0.2, and a quarter-chord sweepback of 45 deg. have been investigated analytically for Mach numbers up to 2.0. The calculations were based on the modified-strip-analysis method, the subsonic-kernel-function method, piston theory, and quasi-steady second-order theory. Results of t h e analysis and comparisons with experiment indicated that: (1) Flutter speeds were accurately predicted by the modified strip analysis, although accuracy at t h e highest Mach numbers required the use of nonlinear aerodynamic theory (which accounts for effects of wing thickness) for the calculation of the aerodynamic parameters. (2) An abrupt increase of flutter-speed coefficient with increasing Mach number, observed experimentally in the transonic range, was also indicated by the modified strip analysis. (3) In the low supersonic range for some densities, a discontinuous variation of flutter frequency with Mach number was indicated by the modified strip analysis. An abrupt change of frequency appeared experimentally in the transonic range. (4) Differences in flutter-speed-coefficient levels obtained from tests at low supersonic Mach numbers in two wind tunnels were also predicted by the modified strip analysis and were shown to be caused primarily by differences in mass ratio. (5) Flutter speeds calculated by the subsonic-kernel-function method were in good agreement with experiment and with the results of the modified strip analysis. (6) Flutter speed obtained from piston theory and from quasi-steady second-order theory were higher than experimental values by at least 38 percent.

Backed Bending Actuator

Bending actuators of a proposed type would partly resemble ordinary bending actuators, but would include simple additional components that would render them capable of exerting large forces at small displacements. Like an ordinary bending actuator, an actuator according to the proposal would include a thin rectangular strip that would comprise two bonded layers (possibly made of electroactive polymers with surface electrodes) and would be clamped at one end in the manner of a cantilever beam. Unlike an ordinary bending actuator, the proposed device would include a rigid flat backplate that would support part of the bending strip against backward displacement; because of this feature, the proposed device is called a backed bending actuator. When an ordinary bending actuator is inactive, the strip typically lies flat, the tip displacement is zero, and the force exerted by the tip is zero. During activation, the tip exerts a transverse force and undergoes a bending displacement that results from the expansion or contraction of one or more of the bonded layers. The tip force of an ordinary bending actuator is inversely proportional to its length; hence, a long actuator tends to be weak. The figure depicts an ordinary bending actuator and the corresponding backed bending actuator. The bending, the tip displacement (d(sub t)), and the tip force (F) exerted by the ordinary bending actuator are well approximated by the conventional equations for the loading and deflection of a cantilever beam subject to a bending moment which, in this case, is applied by the differential expansion or contraction of the bonded layers. The bending, displacement, and tip force of the backed bending actuator are calculated similarly, except that it is necessary to account for the fact that the force F(sub b) that resists the displacement of the tip could be sufficient to push part of the strip against the backplate; in such a condition, the cantilever beam would be effectively shortened (length L*) and thereby stiffened and, hence, made capable of exerting a greater tip force for a given degree of differential expansion or contraction of the bonded layers. Taking all of these effects into account, the cantilever-beam equations show that F(sub b) would be approximately inversely proportional to d(sup 1/2) for d less than a calculable amount, denoted the transition displacement (dt). For d less than d(sub t), part of the strip would be pressed against the backplate. Therefore, the force F(sub b) would be very large for d at or near zero and would decrease as d increases toward d(sub t). At d greater than d(sub t), none of the strip would be pressed against the backplate and F(sub b) would equal the tip force F of the corresponding ordinary bending actuator. The advantage of the proposal is that a backed bending actuator could be made long to obtain large displacement when it encountered little resistance but it could also exert a large zero-displacement force, so that it could more easily start the movement of a large mass, throw a mechanical switch, or release a stuck mechanism.

Microbial Characterization of Solid-Wastes Treated with Heat Melt Compaction Technology

The research purpose of the project was to determine the fate of microorganisms in space-generated solid wastes after processing by a Heat Melt Compactor (HMC), which is a candidate solid waste treatment technology. Five HMC product disks were generated at Ames Research Center (ARC), Waste Management Systems element. The feed for two was simulated space-generated trash and feed for three was Volume F compartment wet waste returned on STS 130. Conventional microbiological methods were used to detect and enumerate microorganisms in HMC disks and in surface swab samples of HMC hardware before and after operation. Also, biological indicator test strips were added to the STS trash prior to compaction to test if HMC processing conditions, 150 C for approx 3 hr and dehydration, were sufficient to eliminate the test bacteria on the strips. During sample acquisition at KSC, the HMC disk surfaces were sanitized with 70% alcohol to prevent contamination of disk interiors. Results from microbiological assays indicated that numbers of microbes were greatly reduced but not eliminated by the 70% alcohol. Ten 1.25 cm diameter cores were aseptically cut from each disk to sample the disk interior. The core material was run through the microbial characterization analyses after dispersal in sterile diluent. Low counts of viable bacteria (5 to 50 per core) were found but total direct counts were 6 to 8 orders of magnitude greater. These results indicate that the HMC operating conditions might not be sufficient for complete waste sterilization, but the vast majority of microbes present in the wastes were dead or non-cultivable after HMC treatment. The results obtained from analyses of the commercial spore test strips that had been added fo the wastes prior to HMC operation further indicated that the HMC was sterilizing the wastes. Nearly all strips were recovered from the HMC disks and all of these were negative for spore growth when run through the manufacturer's protocol. The 10(exp 6) or so spores impregnated into the strips were no longer viable. Control test strips, i.e., not exposed to the HMC conditions, were all strongly positive. All isolates from the cultivable counts were identified, leading to one concern: several were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, a human pathogen. The project reported here provides microbial characterization support to the Waste Management Systems element of the Life Support and Habitation Systems program.

Methods and apparatus for making magnetic skyrmions

A system and a method for the deterministic generation of magnetic skyrmions includes a magnetic strip configured to store and transport skyrmions. The magnetic strip includes one or more spatial inhomogeneities configured to generate a skyrmion at known locations when excited by a current pulse. A current pulse generator is used to inject current pulses into the magnetic strip via contact pads electrically coupled to both the current pulse generator and the magnetic strip. The system also includes a magnetic field source to apply an out-of-plane magnetic field across the magnetic strip to facilitate generation of skyrmions. Skyrmions can be generated by applying an out-of-plane magnetic field to the magnetic strip and injecting a current pulse with sufficient current density towards the spatial inhomogeneities. Once a skyrmion is generated, another current pulse with sufficient current density can be injected to move the skyrmion.

The Co-evolution of a Magnetized Intracluster Medium and Hot Galactic Coronae: Magnetic Field Amplification and Turbulence Generation

We use adaptive-mesh magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the effect of magnetic fields on ram pressure stripping of galaxies in the intracluster medium (ICM). Although the magnetic pressure in typical clusters is not strong enough to affect the gas mass loss rate from galaxies, magnetic fields can affect the morphology of stripped galaxies. ICM magnetic fields are draped around orbiting galaxies and aligned with their stripped tails. Magnetic fields suppress shear instabilities at the galaxy-ICM interface, and magnetized tails are smoother and narrower than tails in comparable hydrodynamic simulations in Vijayaraghavan and Ricker. Orbiting galaxies stretch and amplify ICM magnetic fields, amplifying magnetic power spectra on 10–100 kpc scales. Galaxies inject turbulent kinetic energy into the ICM via their turbulent wakes and g-waves. The magnetic energy and kinetic energy in the ICM increase up to 1.5--2 Gyr of evolution, after which galaxies are stripped of most of their gas, and do not have sufficiently large gaseous cross sections to further amplify magnetic fields and inject turbulent kinetic energy. The increase in turbulent pressure due to galaxy stripping and generation of g-waves results in an increase in the turbulent volume fraction of the ICM. This turbulent kinetic energy is not a significant contributor to the overall ICM energy budget, but greatly impacts the evolution of the ICM magnetic field. Additionally, the effect of galaxies on magnetic fields can potentially be observed in high resolution Faraday rotation measure (RM) maps as small-scale fluctuations in the RM structure.
