Rare Events via Cross-Entropy Population Monte Carlo

Rare events are events that happen with very low frequency. Estimating rare event probabilities using Monte Carlo techniques is computationally expensive, often to the point of intractability, and special methods are required. Importance sampling (IS) is a well known technique that uses a proposal distribution in place of a target distribution to lower the variance of the estimator. Key to the success of IS methods is the choice of a proposal distribution, or the parameters governing the distribution. Adaptive importance sampling improves the parameters of a family or population of proposal distributions iteratively through trials. We present a novel cross-entropy population Monte Carlo algorithm, which adapts the parameters of proposals through the cross-entropy method. The proposed method stands apart from previous work in that we are not optimizing a mixture distribution. Instead, we leverage deterministic mixture weights and optimize the distributions individually through a reinterpretation of the typical derivation of the cross-entropy method. Demonstrations on rare event examples show that the algorithm can outperform existing resampling based population Monte Carlo methods, especially for higher-dimensional problems. Finally, we also demonstrate efficacy on a conjunction analysis problem.

Design by analysis rules for ASME Section III, Division 5, Class B components

The current rules for elevated temperature ASME Section III, Division 5, Class B components, other than piping, were basically adapted from the Design-by-Rule approach for Section VIII, Division 1 vessels. A goal of the proposed new rules is to explicitly account for the design life and cyclic service while recognizing the less-rigorous requirements commensurate with lesser safety consideration. Further goals are to maximize the use of modern computational technology, for example finite element analysis in conjunction with reference stress concepts, and to avoid the need for stress classification. This paper summarizes the work done to address these issues. A summary of the design-by-analysis for primary loads, strain limit evaluation, and creep-fatigue damage assessment is presented. The proposed design-by-analysis creep-fatigue damage calculation approach uses a new elastic follow-up-based Isochronous Stress Strain Curve stress relaxation procedure. A set of sample problems are selected to validate the proposed design-by-analysis rules for creep-fatigue damage assessment. The proposed Class B rules are evaluated against the Class A elastic design rules and the experimental data obtained from a family of a simplified model test-based key-feature test results. The proposed Class B creep-fatigue damage assessment methodology yields conservative design cycles estimates compared to the experimental results.

Atomic structure and grain shape evolution of nanodiamond during annealing in oxidizing atmosphere from neutron diffraction and MD simulations

In this work, real space pair-distribution function (PDF) analysis in conjunction with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was applied to characterize crystal structure, shape and surface structure of diamond nanoparticles annealed in air up to 880 °C. MD simulated models of individual nanodiamond particles of various shapes and sizes were used to calculate theoretical radial distribution functions G(r) for powders with different grain size distributions. The calculated curves, showing distinct differences for the explored parameter space, were compared to the experimental G(r) functions obtained from neutron scattering for annealed detonated nanodiamond samples in a search for a model best describing the actual powders. It was found that as-synthesized nanodiamond grains are terminated by equally abundant (100), (110) and (111) crystallographic faces and their structure does not change upon annealing in air up to 280 °C. The shape and size of grains annealed above 480 °C changes due to surface etching. The etching rate differs between crystals faces and depends on temperature, resulting in the observed differences in grain shape. Below 680 °C the share of the (110) facets gradually increases and at 680 °C the grains become rhombic dodecahedra terminated solely by (110) surfaces. Further increase of the annealing temperature promotes formation of (111) surfaces and at 880 °C the preferred grain shape becomes an octahedron terminated by a variant of (111) surfaces possessing three dangling sp3 bonds per atom. At lower temperatures all grains become smaller and the size distribution moves towards the lower values. Furthermore, as the annealing temperature increases, the smallest grains disappear entirely and the average grain size grows back.

Insights into the Oxidative Degradation Mechanism of Solid Amine Sorbents for CO 2 Capture from Air: Roles of Atmospheric Water

Abstract Direct air capture (DAC) processes for extraction of CO 2 from ambient air are unique among chemical processes in that they operate outdoors with minimal feed pretreatments. Here, the impact of humidity on the oxidative degradation of a prototypical solid supported amine sorbent, poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) supported on Al 2 O 3 , is explored in detail. By combining CO 2 adsorption measurements, oxidative degradation rates, elemental analyses, solid‐state NMR and in situ IR spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with 18 O labeling of water, a comprehensive picture of sorbent oxidation is achieved under accelerated conditions. We demonstrated that the presence of water vapor can play an important role in accelerating the degradation reactions. From the study we inferred the identity and kinetics of formation of the major oxidative products, and the role(s) of humidity. Our data are consistent with a radical mediated autooxidative degradation mechanism.

Targeted Rare Earth Element Extraction from Mine Drainage Treatment Solids Informed by Advanced Characterization

In support of a clean energy transition in the U.S., National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has collaborated with staff at Hedin Environmental and students at the University of Pittsburgh to characterize critical mineral content and recovery potential from acid mine drainage treatment solids (AMD solids). AMD solids in Appalachia are an unconventional feedstock of rare earth elements (REEs), with potential of suppling 1,102 tons REE/year. To inform recovery efforts, select AMD solids were examined using synchrotron microprobe analysis in conjunction with USGS-developed geochemical modeling to indicate likely phases hosting critical minerals (REE, Co, Ni, etc.) and associated metals . More than 100 AMD solids were collected from 94 passive AMD treatment systems in Pennsylvania, where limestone aggregates are used for acidity neutralization. As pH increases, dissolved metals and critical minerals in AMD are attenuated as surface coatings on limestone. The collected AMD solids contained up to 2000 mg/kg REE, up to 13,000 mg/kg transition metals (Co, Ni, Zn) and up to 440 mg/kg Li. Regardless of the diverse chemical compositions from AMD solids (Al-rich, Mn-rich, or Al,Fe,Mn-rich), REEs were mostly associated with Al and Mn (hydr)oxides, while select heavy REEs (e.g., Gd, Dy) were co-localized with Fe (hydr)oxides. Co and Ni have different distribution zones, while both co-localized with Mn (hydr)oxides. Based on this characterization, NETL developed a patent-pending innovative step-leaching protocol, “Targeted Rare Earth Extraction (TREE)” to effectively recover up to 90% REE and 60% Co in separate steps. In addition, select post-TREE solid residuals (purified Al oxides, or Mn oxides) can be further developed into functional materials (e.g., lithium and CO2 sorbents) needed for green energy transition and carbon management. This characterization-informed approach as well as TREE processing from AMD solids can be used for other legacy wastes (e.g., coal ash, oil and gas drill cutting, mine tailings), and offers an opportunity to transform waste streams into environmental and economic assets that meet U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency goals.

Developing Equivalent Surface Heat Transfer Input Parameters for Updated Standard 140/BESTEST Thermal Fabric Test Cases

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140, Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs, is widely cited for evaluating software for use with performance-path energy efficiency analysis in conjunction with well-known energy-efficiency standards, including: ASHRAE Standard 90.1, the International Energy Conservation Code, and other international standards. This paper summarizes recent work to develop improved equivalent surface heat transfer input parameters for the building thermal fabric comparative test cases that comprise a portion of Standard 140. The software-to-software comparative test method allows comparison of simulation results from a wide variety of building energy simulation programs to each other. In this type of test method, it is of great importance to specify inputs that are as well-equivalenced as possible to accommodate a wide variety of input schemes for the tested programs, and thereby reduce the potential for disagreements among them in the tests. Results include new alternative constant surface coefficients that are appropriate to the test cases and demonstrate their ability to approximate the more detailed surface heat transfer models from which they are derived.

Compilation of a Solar Mirror Materials Database and an Analysis of Natural and Accelerated Mirror Exposure and Degradation

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been conducting exposure experiments on solar reflectors for over four decades. Thousands of mirror samples from over one hundred suppliers have been exposed to and monitored in a range of relevant environments. These test conditions include outdoor test settings and several controlled laboratory environments. These samples have been rigorously individually characterized using a series of reflectance measurements, visual inspections, and in some cases, in-depth composition analysis to identify degradation modes, reflectance losses, and other mirror properties integral to understanding the solar reflector's life cycle. Here, this paper compiles the decades of measurement data into a concise statistical analysis. It includes exposure and degradation data for numerous reflector types, including secondary-surface reflector permutations of polymer and glass superstrates with silver and aluminum reflectors as well as front-surface reflectors. The results herein are intended to analyze environmental stressors and degradation trends among various historical and state-of-the-art solar reflectors. It may be used to support solar reflector design, effective testing methodology, and inform manufacturing decisions moving forward. Presented are the results of the compiled database and an initial analysis for degradation rate modeling using full-spectrum and wavelength-dependent approaches. The database is a growing resource hosted on a live, publicly accessible website. In conjunction with the analysis presented here, it provides a valuable resource to the solar reflector manufacturing and testing industry.

Training data selection for event classification in a highly variable environment

A problem of interest for nuclear nonproliferation is monitoring activities at nuclear facilities, where proliferation events may only take place a few times and often under variable conditions. Machine learning has revolutionized data analytics by enabling the use of measurable signatures to generate predictive models of facility operations. However, traditional methods for training these models require large, reliable data sets with labeled observations, a challenge for nonproliferation. Highly variable conditions further complicate this as events from training data may have occurred in conditions quite different from the event of interest. Our hypothesis is that when events occur in a highly variable environment, careful training data selection for each test event could outperform the standard approach of using all available training data. We developed a method to optimize training data selection for the given test event and applied it to predicting the power level of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this study, the reactor startup exhibits variability between occurrences due to natural variability in environmental conditions and operational procedures. Using a combination of analysis techniques, a similitude assessment was performed on data collected from HFIR to isolate clusters that were optimal for training a predictive model. Concepts such as dynamic time warping and Jaccard similarity were used in conjunction with clustering analysis. In order to validate this approach, the model was trained on every combination of unique training events and the predictive performance was compared to the performance using a subset of the training data selected by isolated clusters found through the similitude assessment.

Beneficial effect of copper on pitting resistance of Ni-Cr-Fe alloys

This study examines the effect of copper alloying on pitting resistance in a model solid solution FCC Ni-13%Cr-10%Fe alloy through potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization in 0.1 M NaCl in conjunction with an analysis using first-principles competitive electro-chemisorption modeling. The pitting potential increased with increasing Cu content in the alloy. Furthermore, the extent of metastable pit growth was suppressed and the incubation time for metastable to stable pit transition increased with Cu content. The first-principles competitive adsorption calculations suggested that Cu alloying suppresses chloride ion adsorption on the alloy surface in a simulated pit environment, which inhibits active dissolution at the pit bottom, enhances proton adsorption, and thereby increases the local pH at the pit bottom. In conclusion, we propose that these two effects of Cu in solid solution combine to reduce pit stability and may act in addition to the enrichment of Cu on the corroding pit surface.

Comparison of volatiles evolving from selected highland and mare lunar regolith simulants during vacuum sintering

Volatiles evolving from JSC-1A, NU-LHT-4M and CSM-LHT-1G lunar regolith simulants during in vacuo thermal processing were analyzed using mass spectrometry as a function of temperature. Two high-fidelity simulants, JSC-1A (mare) and NU-LHT-4M (highland), were compared to a newly developed CSM-LHT-1G highland simulant, modified to closely match lunar geochemistry. Large autogenous gas loads were observed for all investigated materials. Mineralogical knowledge was used to identify and attribute individual volatile species to reacting, transforming, or decomposing constituents (hydrates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, clays, etc.) of the respective regolith simulant in the self-generated gas environment. Cumulative mass losses for individual simulant components as a function of temperature were quantified using mass spectrometry in conjunction with thermogravimetric analysis. Investigation of the four components of CSM-LHT-1G – anorthosite, basalt, augite, and glass – aided the attribution of volatile species to specific compounds and their respective sources. The results showed significant decomposition of non-lunar phases present in the man-made regolith simulants below the typical glass crystallization temperatures, which paves the way to devising methods for enhancing the fidelity of the simulants. Finally, high gas loads and corrosive gases (HF and HCl) were recognized as potential hazards, pertaining to the development of large testbed facilities.

Determination of the regeneration energy of direct air capture solvents/sorbents using calorimetric methods

Regeneration energy and recyclability are important parameters that dictate the viability of a CO 2 direct air capture (DAC) process. In this study, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used in conjunction with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to evaluate the regeneration energy required for CO 2 -loaded 3 M aqueous potassium sarcosinate (K-SAR) solvent and crystalline methyl-glyoxal-bisiminoguanidine (MGBIG) sorbent. Based on calorimetric measurements, for aqueous K-SAR, the sensible heat amounts to 1.5 GJ/tCO 2 and the enthalpy of desorption is estimated at 3.68 GJ/tCO 2 . The total energy of regeneration will also include the enthalpy of solvent vaporization, which will depend on the thermodynamic conditions and the level of regeneration. For MGBIG, the total regeneration energy required was measured at approximately 7.0 GJ/tCO 2 . Further, FTIR measurements were used to observe CO 2 and H 2 O release during the thermal regeneration process. For K-SAR, CO 2 release is seen to take place at temperatures greater than 80 °C and, for MGBIG, the CO 2 release takes place at temperatures greater than 100 °C. The moderate temperatures required for K-SAR and MGBIG regenerations compared to other DAC solvents/sorbents suggest that low-cost sources of heat, such as geothermal heat, could potentially be used for regeneration to drive down the cost of direct air capture.

Heterostructured Au–Ir Catalysts for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Electrochemical water splitting operated under acidic conditions provides a clean approach to generate hydrogen fuels. Currently, the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode is a bottleneck limiting the acidic water splitting. Here, we report that the OER activity of Ir, one of the most commonly used OER catalysts, can be boosted by forming phase boundaries with Au. Mixed Au and Ir catalysts were synthesized on carbon paper electrodes, which underwent structural evolution under the OER environment to form an Au-Ir interface-rich structure. Compared with Ir catalyst, which requires an overpotential of ~393 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 in 0.1 M HClO 4 electrolyte, the evolved Au-Ir catalyst shows a lower overpotential at ~351 mV. X-ray photoelectronic spectrum (XPS) study, in conjunction with electrochemical analysis on the surface-site-normalized activity, reveals that the improved OER performance is due to the presence of Au/Ir interfaces in the catalysts. In addition to Ir, the strategy of accelerating OER via Au/Ir interfaces has been further applied to IrCo, IrNi, and IrCu alloy catalysts. Here, with the broad applicability of the strategy demonstrated, this study opens a new route to design OER catalysts for efficient acidic water splitting.

Cation-doped ZnS catalysts for polysulfide conversion in lithium–sulfur batteries

Catalytic conversion of polysulfides is regarded as a crucial approach to enhancing kinetics and suppressing the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, the activity prediction of Li-S catalysts remains elusive owing to the lack of mechanistic understanding of activity descriptors. Here, we report a volcano-shaped relationship between polysulfide adsorption ability and catalytic activity. In conjunction with theoretical analysis, we distinguish catalytic and anchoring effects to delineate the role of adsorption and emphasize the passivation of catalysts. These findings enable us to develop a composite catalyst, Co0.125Zn0.875S, which shows higher performance than simple binary compounds. Such a fundamental understanding of the intrinsic link between polysulfide adsorption and catalytic activity offers a rational viewpoint for designing Li-S catalysts and tuning their activities.

Thermal expansion of LaB 6 from 298 to 998 K

We propose LaB 6 as a temperature calibration standard for high-temperature (HT) X-ray diffractometry owing to its high temperature stability. Such HT applications require a reliable HT lattice parameter or, equivalently, peak position data, which have not been readily accessible to the diffraction community to date. As such, the thermal expansion behavior of NIST SRM 660a LaB6 was assessed in the temperature range 298–998 K using HT Bragg–Brentano parafocusing θ:θ X-ray diffractometry in conjunction with Rietveld analysis. Data were collected in the 2θ range 20–150° at a data collection rate of 0.5° θ min −1 in air and at 1 atm. The temperature was stepped in 50 K increments. The cubic unit-cell lattice parameter [a(T)] of LaB 6 in Å was found to vary as a(T) = 4.15678 (±0.00001) + Ξ(T − 298 K) + Ψ(T − 298 K) 2 , where Ξ = 2.4645 × 10 −5 (±4.8904 × 10 −8 ) Å K −1 and Ψ = 1.0325 × 10 −8 (±6.7376 × 10 −11 ) Å K −1 . The isobaric volume thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) was obtained as α V P = (5.9291 × 10 −6 ) + (4.9680 × 10 −9 )(T − 298 K) K −1 , from which the corresponding linear TEC was obtained as α L P = (1.9764 × 10 −6 ) + (1.6560 × 10 −9 )(T − 298 K) K −1 . The 3 × 3 matrix representations of the single-crystal isobaric linear TEC and the volume expansivity were obtained for the cubic crystal class to which LaB 6 belongs. Also, the temperature dependence of the lattice parameter data of this study was compared with past landmark studies on LaB 6 by Dutchak et al. [Inorg. Mater. (1972), 8, 1877–1880] and Aivazov et al. [Inorg. Mater. (1979), 15, 1015–1016].

Zymomonas diversity and potential for biofuel production

Abstract Background Zymomonas mobilis is an aerotolerant α-proteobacterium, which has been genetically engineered for industrial purposes for decades. However, a comprehensive comparison of existing strains on the genomic level in conjunction with phenotype analysis has yet to be carried out. We here performed whole-genome comparison of 17 strains including nine that were sequenced in this study. We then compared 15 available Zymomonas strains for their natural abilities to perform under conditions relevant to biofuel synthesis. We tested their growth in anaerobic rich media, as well as growth, ethanol production and xylose utilization in lignocellulosic hydrolysate. We additionally compared their tolerance to isobutanol, flocculation characteristics, and ability to uptake foreign DNA by electroporation and conjugation. Results Using clustering based on 99% average nucleotide identity (ANI), we classified 12 strains into four clusters based on sequence similarity, while five strains did not cluster with any other strain. Strains belonging to the same 99% ANI cluster showed similar performance while significant variation was observed between the clusters. Overall, conjugation and electroporation efficiencies were poor across all strains, which was consistent with our finding of coding potential for several DNA defense mechanisms, such as CRISPR and restriction–modification systems, across all genomes. We found that strain ATCC31821 (ZM4) had a more diverse plasmid profile than other strains, possibly leading to the unique phenotypes observed for this strain. ZM4 also showed the highest growth of any strain in both laboratory media and lignocellulosic hydrolysate and was among the top 3 strains for isobutanol tolerance and electroporation and conjugation efficiency. Conclusions Our findings suggest that strain ZM4 has a unique combination of genetic and phenotypic traits that are beneficial for biofuel production and propose investing future efforts in further engineering of ZM4 for industrial purposes rather than exploring new Zymomonas isolates.
