Simulation Analysis and Optimization Design of Pilot-operated Proportional Directional Valve

High-performance pilot-operated proportional directional valves, as critical foundational components in China's manufacturing industry, hold significant importance. However, these valves, widely utilized across various sectors in China, are predominantly monopolized by companies such as Bosch Rexroth from Germany and Atos from Italy. This monopoly situation has led to constraints on China's autonomous development in terms of technology, pricing, supply cycles, and other aspects, posing a bottleneck problem for the independent development of many major equipment in China. In addressing pilot-operated proportional directional valves, a comprehensive design of proportional valves is undertaken. Simulation and optimization analyses are conducted on proportional valves with different shapes of throttle slots to explore the impact of various slot shapes on the valves. Main valve flow validation is performed, and dynamic and static characteristics analyses are carried out on the proportional valves. Structural optimization of the valves is conducted using orthogonal experiments, and an acceleration test load spectrum is compiled based on the actual usage conditions of the proportional valve product.

Real-Time Detection of CO2 Leakage in Transparent Subsurface Formations

Climate change poses a critical global challenge, and CO2 geological sequestration is an effective strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While the successful injection of CO2 into subsurface formations is important, ensuring that it remains securely stored without leakage is crucial for the success of sequestration efforts. Immediate detection and remediation of any leakage are essential to prevent atmospheric release. Current methods, such as seismic monitoring, are often not real-time, have low accuracy, and are costly. Delayed detection means CO2 could be released for an extended period, undermining sequestration efforts. Therefore, real-time leakage detection is crucial. Experts from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Saudi Aramco have collaborated to develop a novel technology for this purpose. The major innovations include: 1. Automatic Interpretation Techniques: These techniques analyze large volumes of geological data, and stochastic discrete fracture network methods simulate various geological scenarios to enhance accuracy. 2. Deep-Learning Based Upscaling: This method generates computationally efficient geological models. 3. Bayesian Inversion Methods: Combined with deep learning algorithms, these methods identify potential leakage sites in real time. This innovative approach has been successfully adopted by Saudi Aramco and implemented in the largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the MENA region.

Cross Culture for Global South

Cross-cultural engagement in the Global South involves the sharing of ideas, norms, values, and beliefs among societies with diverse cultural backgrounds. It is crucial in a globalized world to foster mutual understanding and respect between different cultural spheres. However, issues like cultural imperialism, misinterpretation, and underdevelopment can arise. Cultural diplomacy advocates for balanced cross-cultural relations by sharing cultural heritage and resources, while intercultural competence promotes cognitive, affective, and behavioral capabilities. Local context-based development focuses on leveraging local values, norms, and belief systems to adapt development projects to local needs. Collaborative global governance ensures a multi-directional and cooperative decision-making process, reducing the influence of neo-colonial power dynamics and creating a more inclusive space for the exchange of ideas, skills, and knowledge. Addressing cross-cultural issues in the Global South requires addressing cultural imperialism, misinterpretation, and underdevelopment.
