廢紙漿發酵產氫之探究

氫氣在燃燒後只會產生水而不產生溫室氣體之二氧化碳,可謂一種潔淨能源。 生質能源是屬於碳中性(Carbon neutral)型之利用方式,因此本研究著眼於如何建構一個操作簡便的共代謝系統,將生質料源從微生物之發酵反應中釋放氫氣出來。 實驗的主要方法是利用好氧性的Bacillus thermoamylovorans 與厭氧性的Clostridium butyricum 共培養分解廢紙漿以生產氫氣。廢紙漿是混合的基質,內富含纖維素、並含一些油墨及少許雜質。利用Bacillus thermoamylovorans 是好氧菌,同時也能將廢紙漿中的纖維素轉換成還原醣的特性,將原本有氧的環境轉換成絕對厭氧的環境,並將廢紙漿中的纖維素轉化成Clostridium butyricum 可以利用的還原醣。如此一來,原本不利於Clostridium butyricum 生長的環境,卻能透過簡單的共培養方式創造出有利於Clostridium butyricum 生長的環境並產生氫氣。除此之外,我們也對不同碳源、不同的植菌量、不同的氧氣量,比較其產氫能力差異,發現增加氧氣量可以提升最後的產氫量大約2.7 倍。 ;Our major goal is to develop a cost-effective biohydrogen production system by the co-culturing of Bacillus thermoamylovorans and Clostridium butyricum. The aerobic Bacillus thermoamylovorans will consume oxygen and converse waste paper pulp into reductant-sugar and the anaerobic Clostridium butyricum will generate hydrogen after oxygen is consumed. With the increase of aeration, the aerobic Bacillus thermoamylovorans growsappropriately leading to more biohydrogen production. However, in enhanced aeration condition, the Bacillus thermoamylovorans will consume sugars that can offer for the Clostridium butyricum. So we can conclude that the control of oxygen is the key point for the system to operate.

調幅超聲波解調高指向可聽音之研究

可聽聲有向四周擴散繞射特性,而超聲波具有指向性,改以超聲波載送可聽音訊號後,其載波與旁頻帶均在超聲波範圍,實驗中人耳卻可聽到高度指向性聲音,且調幅解調後的可聽聲衰減率比純超聲波來的低。那為什麼超聲波會解調可聽音?我們以非線性的數學轉換概念,成功以數學推導解釋實驗中所聽到的可聽聲,是由旁頻經由非線性轉換而來的。為了證實空氣中的超聲波有非線性現象,以發射40KHz單頻訊號,除了接收到40KHz訊號外還可接收80KHz訊號,而80KHz訊號振幅,會隨著發射強度而遞增,也會隨著傳輸距離增加至穩定狀態,這所我們從文獻中的非線性理論所吻合。接下來進行調幅超聲波實驗,我們經理論計算旁頻帶強度為頻率響應與調變率乘積的一半,而解調可聽聲的強度為調變率、頻率響應與非線性係數三者乘積,我們也由實驗數據證實理論計算結果,在實驗中,換能器在40KHz有最佳的頻率響應,其非線性係數與所載送可聽聲頻率高低約略成正相關,並且與換能器距離遞增而越遠而增加。此外在提高高指向可聽音輸出功率方面,除製作專屬的放大器、運用方波取代正弦波來載波、配合陣列換能器輸出;在改善音質方面,利用等化器調整訊源頻譜分佈,降低低頻振幅,增強高頻振幅,讓各頻率的原始訊號都能有適當的調變,達到最佳音質。The audible sound has the characteristics of spreading and diffracting. And ultrasonic is directive. We modulate sound into ultrasonic signal. The carrier and sideband are ultrasonic frequency bands. But in the experiment, human can hear highly directive sound. In terms of attenuation rate, AM demodulation sound is lower than pure ultrasonic wave. Why can human hear the directive sound? By using the nonlinear mathematical transform, we managed to explain the audible sound which is transformed from sideband with nonlinear effect in the experiment. In order to confirm that nonlinear phenomena in the air ultrasonic, we launch 40KHz single tone ultrasonic signal. Besides the 40KHz signal, we also received 80KHz signal. The amplitude of 80KHz signal will increase with the emission intensity, and also with the transmission distance to increase its stability. These are consistent with nonlinear theory in the literature. Next we began AM ultrasonic experiment. We calculated the sideband intensity that is the product of frequency response and modulation index. The demodulation sound intensity is the product of modulation index, frequency response, and nonlinear coefficient. We also proved the calculated consequence through the experiment. In the experiment, the ultrasonic transducer has a best frequency response in 40KHz. The nonlinear coefficient has positive correlation with the modulation frequency, and increases transmission distance. To boost the power of directive audible sound, we made an amplifier, using square wave to replace sine wave of carrier, and in conjunction with array transducer output. To improve the sound quality, We use the spectrum-Equalizer to adjust the frequency distribution of the origin signal. The EQ reduces the low-frequency amplitude, and boost high-frequency amplitude, which enables every frequency of the original signal to be properly modulated, achieving the best sound quality.

自由基VS抗氧化物

自由基會產生在神經系統、免疫系統、血液循環系統等等,進而影響到人體各器官的運作,甚至於近年來許多醫生學者提出自由基病理:自由基是百病之源。本次實驗筆者挑選葡萄子、維生素C、綠茶來抑制清氧自由基(OH.)所採用的方法是將10%雙氧水製入注射筒並加亞鐵離子催化,,使其與抗氧化物反應,由於雙氧水分解會產生氫氣自由基與氧氣,因此筆者用倍率放大器(OPA)放大生成氧氣造成的電壓,並用Data Studio測量記錄,最後可由氧氣體積對電壓的趨勢圖看出抑制氫氣自由基的效果;Free radicals will be produced in our nerves system blood circulation immunization system etc. and they able to influene the operaion for our organs many medical scholars have even come up with "free radical pathology"-free radicals are sourse of all he diseases in recent years.In this study, I chose rape stone vitaminC and green tea to restrain hydroxide radicals(OH.)

足下天地大,掌中有乾坤─橙斑大龍蝨抱握足的形態與吸附力

有別於大多數龍蝨抱握足上所具有的圓形吸盤,橙斑大龍蝨具有特殊的掌形吸盤,吸盤內具有四排舌墊狀構造。藉由吸盤吸附與脫離機制的探討,發現吸盤內跗節的關節與舌墊在吸附時會發生形變以增加吸盤的吸附,而舌墊的不對稱性構造則可以使吸盤在脫離時較為容易。我們也利用自製的實驗裝置測量吸盤在水中的吸附力,結果顯示吸盤吸附力的主要來自於舌墊,其切向力大於法向力,且切向力具有方向性,推測與舌墊之不對稱性有關。這種掌形吸盤除了可重複在水中進行吸附之外,也具有方便脫離,以及可吸附不規則平面等特性,在仿生學上的應用極具潛力。

簡易方法測量擴散係數

溶液和水置於同一容器中,當溶液中的溶質向上擴散時,溶液的濃度會隨著\r 高度改變,形成濃度梯度以及折射率梯度dy/dn。\r 寬度a 的透明方形盒,下方盛溶液,上方加入水,雷射光照射和鉛直成45°\r 的玻璃棒,再照射方形盒時,由於溶液的折射率梯度,雷射光在屏上形成鐘形曲\r 線,向下偏Z 的距離,r 為容器至?的距離,ar/Z=dy/dn 。\r 兩液原始交界處(y=0)鐘形曲線最低位置(Z)隨著時間(t)改變,測量Z 及t 作1/Z平方-t圖,由其斜率可算出擴散係數D。\r 濃度較高的二元混合液,例如甘油水溶液,當其重量百分率濃度未超過70%\r 時,擴散係數仍不隨濃度改變;但在屏上所形成的鐘形曲線,其最大偏折點不但\r 逐漸上升,還向甘油方偏移。測量偏移點所對應的液高(y),以及經歷時間(t);\r y平方= 2Dt,作y-√?? 圖,由其斜率亦可算出甘油的擴散係數。

磁粉探傷原理探討-鐵粉在靜磁場中的受力與運動情形

磁粉探傷過程包含兩個重要的物理現象,其一是磁力線於工作瑕疵處的漏磁現象而形成邊緣磁場,其二是鐵粉顆粒受邊緣磁場的影響而向工作瑕疵處附近聚集現象分別反應出磁場在通過不同介質時所遵循的折射原哩,以及磁場分佈對鐵粉顆粒產生的磁力原理。本研究以電磁通電產生靜磁場,並利用兩電磁鐵間的氣隙來模擬工件瑕疵,因電磁鐵的磁導係數遠大於空氣之磁導係數而造成漏磁場方向機與漏磁面垂直,形成一單純的邊界條件使得邊緣磁通密度的解析解可直接利用馬克斯威爾方程式求得。我們亦導出空氣中的磁通分佈對微小的鐵粉顆粒所產生的磁力公式,發現鐵粉顆粒受靜磁力的大小與該顆粒的體積、磁通密度與磁通密度之梯度成正比,而其方向則與磁通密度之梯度一致,此結論與磁粉探傷過程中,鐵粉向工件瑕疵處聚集的現象吻合。實驗設計採用螢光粉混合鐵粉以獲致明顯的鐵粉顆粒運動軌跡,用數位錄影機紀錄後再擷取影像圖檔判讀其位置與時間之關係,進而反算鐵粉顆粒之位置與所受之靜磁力的關係,以定量的方式證實所推導的邊緣磁場分佈公式以及磁力公式。Two important physical phenomena are observed in the practice of magnetic particle inspection (MPI). The first one is that leakage flux is present in the defect area of the work-piece under inspection. The second one is that magnetic particles aggregate in the vicinity of the defect. These phenomena manifest the theory of flux refraction, which occurs in the intersection area of two different magnetic materials, and the theory of magneto-static force, which is experienced by the iron powder in a magnetic field distribution. Two electromagnets, made of cast steel, are aligned together such that the leakage flux in the air gap forms a fringing field distribution. It is this magnetic field distribution that simulates a defect area in a magnetized magnetic work-piece. Since the permeability of cast steel is far larger than that of air, the direction of the fringing field at the surface of the electromagnets is almost perpendicular to the surface. Such a simple geometry renders an analytical solution to the Maxwell’s equations. The magnetic force of the magneto-static field exerting on the magnetic particle, an iron powder in this case, can be derived by using the principle of virtual displacement. We obtain a formula of magnetic force, whose direction coincides with the gradient of the magnetic flux density and whose magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of the particle volume, the magnetic flux density and its gradient. This formula also agrees with the observation in MPI that the magnetic particles aggregate in the vicinity of the defect.

懸浮前進吧!磁浮列車

我們用樂高積木自製磁浮列車,卻發現懸浮平穩沒有想像中容易,於是開始一系列有關單面牆懸浮、摩擦力與綜效磁力的實驗,想找出列車懸浮平穩的秘密。在不同材質的單面牆摩擦力實驗中,利用列車可移動的最小軌道傾斜角度畫圖估算摩擦力,並與掛砝碼最大靜摩擦力的實驗數據比較,得到一致的摩擦力結果:木頭磨光滑 < 木頭 < 壓克力 < 砂紙。 列車的懸浮高度與重量有關,懸浮平穩會有一靠牆的力,須鋪置寬軌道,列車外側磁鐵對齊軌道正上方,靠牆內側磁鐵對齊軌道左側。列車在單面牆(木頭磨光滑)成功懸浮的力平衡狀態為:靜摩擦係數0.28,重力59gw,正向力12.5 gw,列車與軌道的綜效磁力60 gw,水平夾角78 度。最後運用電池或太陽能板加裝風扇驅動磁浮列車前進。

奈米溶膠製成蓮花效應及應用

Lotus effect(蓮花效應)是蓮葉表面化學組成(wax)與物理組成(微纖維結構)兩者所造成。本研究是以模擬Lotus effect,採用Sol-Gel 製成,將氟化矽聚合為奈米膠體。實驗結果發現,以異丙醇為溶劑,再依序加入氟化矽、硝酸以製成的Sol-Gel,將其塗覆於玻璃表面,可得到最高的接觸角(114.71°),且少量的氟化矽可製成大量的成品,已具有實用價值又兼顧成本的優點,最重要的是,本研究克服了目前Sol-Gel 製程與應用的四大難題(機械強度、與基材接著問題、透明度、溶膠凝固問題),可說是一大創舉。利用所研發出來的奈米溶膠,我們能成功地將Sol-Gel 附著於布料、玻璃、釉表面、粉體,也能成功地研發出具有自潔透氣的布料、救生衣、雪衣、棉被及自潔功能的玻璃、磁磚與市面上尚未研發出的防水粉體(接觸角>140°),因此我們研發出的Sol-Gel 應用甚廣,有無限的發展潛力。Chemical composition (wax) and physical characteristics (microstructure) of lotus leaves are both responsible of the so call Lotus Effect. In this study we intend to demonstrate louts effect by applying Sol-Gel method to polymerize fluorosilane into nano-scale colloid. Our experimental results shown that the sol-gel made based on isopropanol solvent with fluorosilane and nitric acid added in order, when coated on glass plate, can achieve highest (liquid-surface) contact angle of 114.7 degrees. In addition, only small quantity of fluorosilane is sufficient to produce large amount of product, making this method feasible and cost-effective. More importantly, this procedure overcome the four major difficulty of sol-gel processing and application, namely mechanical toughness, adhesion with substrate, transparency, and consolidation. Using the nano-sol-gel developed in this study, we have successfully coated the sol-gel onto fabric, glass, ceramic grazing surface, and powder, which allow one to make self-cleaning breathable clothes, life jacket, snow cloth, futon and self-cleaning glass and tiles, as well as water-proof powder (contact angle > 140 degrees) which is brand new on market. We therefore believe that there is a great potential for the application of sol-gel developed in this study.
