Device for detecting degradation of a component

An apparatus for monitoring the structural integrity of a component. A monitoring structure is applied to a component that is subject to structural degradation. The monitoring structure includes an electrical conductor that becomes cracked if the component becomes structurally degraded. When the component is a ductile metal component that may be degraded by bending, the electrical conductor is formed of a brittle material that cracks when the ductile metal component is bent. When the component is a brittle ceramic heat shield wherein a crack having a critical length is of concern, the electrical conductor is located at a predetermined location wherein a critical length crack in the component will propagate into the conductor. A crack in the electrical conductor is detected with a monitoring device to indicate a degraded structural condition in the component.

Catalyst roasting - plastic dual-purpose rotary kiln

The invention relates to two processes of roasting and shaping in a preparation process of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst (SPAC). The catalyst is applied to reactions such as oligomerization of low-carbon olefins and alkylation of propylene. In the past, SPAC preparation, roasting and shaping processes were carried out separately. The static method was used for roasting, and the materials could not be fully and evenly heated; the shredder was used for shaping, resulting in low yield of finished products, high crushing loss, high broken particles and powder, and "memory" inside the particles. crack. The inventor proposed the concept of critical strip length and defined the probability function of particle fracture: ζi=k·(Li‑Lcri)α. During the rotation of the kiln, homogeneous strips fall from the top of the built-in lifting board and hit the bottom. The strip length tends to be the same, and the dual-purpose rotary kiln is designed for roasting and shaping. The obtained SPAC particles have a narrow distribution of length and strength, which improves the conversion rate of the catalytic reaction and the selectivity of oligomers, reduces its muddy tendency, and prolongs the operating life. The particle length of the product of the present invention depends on the effective radius (rbs) of the roasting kiln. The present invention can be implemented industrially.
