Santanghu coal is used as a sample to measure the permeability and porosity of coal samples before and after microwave heating. The fracture changes of coal samples before and after heating are compared to observe the penetration effect of microwaves on coal samples. Based on the technology of directional drilling and continuous tubing technology in petroleum engineering, a technology of increasing the production of coalbed methane by microwave heating in a wide range of coal seams is proposed. The feasibility of this enhanced production method is validated through COMSOL Multiphysics simulations, which model the temperature field distribution within coal seams under various microwave parameters. This approach highlights the potential of microwave technology in coalbed methane recovery. The results show that: (1) the thermal field of coal samples under microwave heating is inhomogeneous. The average length and area of the cracks of the coal samples increased under microwave radiation, and the cracking of the coal samples confirmed the cracking effect of microwaves on the coal samples. (2) With prolonged microwave heating, coal samples exhibit an initial decrease followed by an increase in porosity and permeability, a trend attributed to the expansion of solid particles that occupy and reduce pore spaces. (3) The in-situ microwave heating technique for coalbed methane extraction overcomes the challenges of long-distance microwave transmission loss and methane backflow in transmission pipelines, utilizing continuous pipelines for extensive microwave heating of coal seams. (4) The microwave power and intermittent heating duration have a significant effect on the temperature field distribution of the coal seam, and when the heating duration is 60 days, 1600 W is used to have an effective temperature field distribution while avoiding the waste of heat. When the power is constant at 1600 W, the effective temperature range is wider when the intermittent heating duration is 60 days.","PeriodicalId":16821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Conference Series","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If a high speed conductive structure can be added to the colloidal phase, the performance of the flexible electrode material can be greatly improved. Here, we introduce redox graphene ribbons into the polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel loaded with polyaniline. The in situ three-dimensional conductive graphene network greatly enhanced the conductivity of the hydrogel electrode, thus increasing the specific capacitance to as high as 1117 F g−1 at 2 mg cm−2 mass loading, with a retention ratio of 66.96% from 0.5 A g−1 to 20 A g−1.

The exfoliated vermiculite was stripped by a physical one-step stripping method, with good water dispersion and dense lamellar structure. As the nano-filler, it can effectively fill the micro defects in the coating, make the coating structure more compact, and effectively prevent the intrusion of corrosive media. When exfoliated vermiculite was added at 1%, two orders of magnitude increased the electrochemical impedance modulus to 2.276×106 Ω cm2 and the corrosion current was correspondingly reduced to 1.186×10−8 A cm−2, showing excellent corrosion resistance. Adding 1% exfoliated vermiculite creates a “labyrinth effect” in the coating that extends the penetration path of the corrosion particles, thus effectively preventing corrosion of the underlying metal substrate. This enables the coating to better cope with harsh corrosive environments and provides a viable idea for coating protection.","PeriodicalId":16821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Conference Series","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the corrosion damage aspects are related to decontamination solutions which are essential for rapid degradation of toxic agents. The decontamination solutions should be non-corrosive to avoid deterioration of steel container. Decontamination solutions comprising have high chlorinating activity so they have a corrosive effect on mild which are used in fabrication of storage tanks. In this case, using inhibitors is one of the most effective strategies to limit the rate of corrosion. This work describes the effect of different compounds; (zinc chromate, cinnamaldehyde, sodium tripolyphosphate, zinc ortho-phosphate, ammonium molybdate and thiourea) on the rate of corrosion of mild steel within dichloroisocyanuric acid decontamination solution. Meanwhile, these inhibitors should not affect active chlorine content which is responsible for the decontamination process. By using kelthoff and AquaChec® methods for measuring active chlorine, it was found that only zinc chromate passed the tests. For measuring electrochemical behaviour of mild steel in decontamination solutions, different techniques were used. Zinc chromate inhibition on mild steel in a 0.5% dichloroisocyanuric acid solution at different temperatures (298–313 K) were studied utilising electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, weight loss, and potentiodynamic polarisation. The results reveal that zinc chromate is an excellent mild steel corrosion inhibitor in dichloroisocyanuric acid, with an inhibition efficacy of 96% at a concentration of 0.005 M. Finally, surface morphology of mild was also investigated using SEM.","PeriodicalId":16821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Conference Series","volume":"206 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on studying the coverage path planning problem under multi-UAV collaboration to maximize the coverage of the mission area within a given time. To address this problem, we propose a multi-objective optimization model and reformulate it with the framework of Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (Dec-POMDP). We then employ a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) method to solve the problem. Specifically, we introduce the <italic toggle=\"yes\">ε</italic>—Multi-Agent Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (<italic toggle=\"yes\">ε</italic>—MADT3), which incorporates an exploration coefficient based on MATD3.
