The grid electroplating mask is crucial for forming well-defined copper grids with high aspect ratios. This paper introduces a novel process for fabricating grid electroplating masks for silicon heterojunction solar cells using inkjet printing, which indirectly prepares the masks through two rounds of inkjet printing. Initially, hot-melt wax lines are printed to define the grid pattern, wherein the effects of piezoelectric nozzle waveform configurations on inkjet droplet morphology and size, the printing height on droplet stacking patterns, and the printing speed on hot-melt wax line widths are investigated. The results show that reducing the rise, fall, and retention time of the waveform will reduce the droplet volume, the inkjet printing height of 2.2 μm is conducive to the cooling of hot melted wax droplets and obtaining better droplet stacking morphology, and the inkjet printing speed of 50 mm/s is conducive to the obtaining of narrower hot-melt wax lines. Consequently, hot-melt wax lines with an average line width of 22.67 μm and a line height of 18 μm are successfully obtained on the seed layer silicon wafers. Subsequently, mask printing and hot-melt wax line removal are performed, yielding grid electroplating masks with trench widths of 20.254 μm, heights of 12.241 μm, and an aspect ratio reaching 0.6. This approach significantly simplifies the electroplating mask process and is of great significance for achieving copper grids with higher aspect ratios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":335,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 109729"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The typical intake manifold burner, however, has some drawbacks, including unreliable fuel delivery, insufficient combustion, and poor windproof performance. In this study, a novel intake manifold burner with boosted fuel dispersion was designed, and tests were carried out to investigate the effects of injection pressure, injection frequency, injection duration, and airflow velocity on flame behavior. In addition, the fuel–air mixing process was simulated using a three-dimensional CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). To explore the impacts of operating conditions on the gas mixture, the variation tendency of gas/liquid fuel mass was analyzed, and the flame area was quantified. According to the findings, optimization of fuel supply parameters and intake parameters is conducive to flame development and intake air heating. Increasing the amount of fuel injection raises the local and global equivalency ratio, expands the fuel vapor distribution region behind the burner, boosting the flame growth. Airflow velocity and combustion heat release both have an impact on flame evolution. The effects of heat release on flame growth are nearly comparable at low airflow velocity (3–5 m/s), however at high airflow velocity, airflow becomes the dominant factor. High-velocity airflow (greater than 9 m/s) increases heat dissipation, limits flame growth, delays ignition and even blow-out phenomenon.

The use of swirl injector was observed to improve regression rate and other performance parameters, but it is expected to change with the varying L/D ratio of the hybrid rocket motor. It was further compared with the conventional showerhead injector for the same L/D ratios. Gaseous oxygen was used as an oxidizer while paraffin wax was used as the fuel. Three different L/D ratio motors, specifically 9.5, 13.5 and 17 were used for the experiments. For the regression rate study, the three major factors responsible for the increment in regression rate are longer residence time due to larger motor length, diminishing effect of swirling flow with increasing motor length and the behaviour of mass flux exponent. The investigation revealed that the 13.5 L/D ratio motor can be said to have a better regression rate performance as it gives a balanced results for all three factors. Also, considering the other performance parameters such as chamber pressure, combustion efficiency and thrust generation for the showerhead as well as swirl injector, 13.5 L/D ratio motor showed superior results compared to other two L/D ratio motors. The increment observed for 13.5 L/D ratio motor were 27 %, 11 % and 25 % for chamber pressure, combustion efficiency and thrust generated values, respectively when compared with the base case of 9.5 L/D ratio motor for the swirl injector study. These experimental findings for pressure and thrust values are in corelation with the thrust equation where the thrust value is directly proportional to the chamber pressure value and the nozzle throat area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":335,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 109734"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While deep learning has been harnessed for physical field reconstruction and has demonstrated impressive performance, it faces the challenge of achieving enhanced precision and computational efficiency, particularly when dealing with intricate, nonlinear problems. Inspired by the observation that numerous physical phenomena exhibit distinct behaviors within isolated regions of the spatial domain, such as boundary layers and separated flows, we introduce a novel deep learning approach that employs a “divide-and-conquer” strategy. In this methodology, the entire spatial domain is partitioned into various subdomains, each of which is entrusted to a dedicated neural network for precise reconstruction of the flow and temperature fields. Initially, the physical domain is segmented into discrete subdomains using K-means clustering based on cosine distance. Subsequently, individual deep neural networks are constructed to map from limited sensor measurements to the physical field within each subdomain. Finally, the separately reconstructed fields are amalgamated to constitute the ultimate physical field representation. To validate the efficacy of our approach, numerical experiments were conducted across four diverse cases: flow around a cylinder, turbulent channel flow, transonic flow, and conduction involving multiple heat sources. The results demonstrate the superior accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. In comparison to the non-partitioned approach, our method achieves a minimum reduction of 44.6% in mean absolute error, simultaneously enhancing training efficiency by approximately 30.0% under the premise that the model can utilize multi-GPUs parallel training, all while maintaining a manageable model complexity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":335,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 109707"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
