A new air exchange rate (AER) monitoring method using continuous CO2 sensors was developed and validated through both laboratory experiments and field studies. Controlled laboratory simulation tests were conducted in a 1-m3 environmental chamber at different AERs (0.1-10.0 hr-1). AERs were determined using the decay method based on box model assumptions. Field tests were conducted in classrooms, dormitories, meeting rooms and apartments during 2-5 weekdays using CO2 sensors coupled with data loggers. Indoor temperature, relative humidity (RH), and CO2 concentrations were continuously monitored while outdoor parameters combined with on-site climate conditions were recorded. Statistical results indicated that good laboratory performance was achieved: duplicate precision was within 10%, and the measured AERs were 90%-120% of the real AERs. Average AERs were 1.22, 1.37, 1.10, 1.91 and 0.73 hr-l in dormitories, air-conditioned classrooms, classrooms with an air circulation cooling system, reading rooms, and meeting rooms, respectively. In an elderly particulate matter exposure study, all the homes had AER values ranging from 0.29 to 3.46 hr-1 in fall, and 0.12 to 1.39 hr-1 in winter with a median AER of 1.15.

To obtain high-entropy carbide (HEC) joints with excellent high-temperature performance, a (HfZrTiTaNb)C HEC joint featuring a direct diffusion-bonded interface with a Nb-based interlayer was successfully fabricated at relatively low temperatures of 1150-1250 degrees C for 60 min under 10 MPa. Starting from a modified Ni/Nb/Ni composite interlayer with a Nb content of > 64 at%, an alloyed Nb2Ni layer was constructed in situ by accelerating the directional diffusion of Ni atoms from the high-entropy interface into the remaining pure Nb through the Ni-Nb eutectic liquid. Moreover, the excess liquid phase was squeezed out of the bonding region, ensuring the absence of Ni-based compounds. Leveraging the intrinsic interfacial stability and sluggish diffusion effect, the HEC with its original lattice structure, was capable of developing diffusion bonding with the Nb2Ni layer instead of interacting with the liquid phase. The high reliability of the HEC/Nb2Ni bonded interface was confirmed by the coherence of (1 3) (HEC)// (141) (Nb2Ni) and a calculated lattice misfit of 0.044. The HEC joint had a high room-temperature strength of 174 MPa because of the homogenous Nb2Ni layer, which exhibited nanohardness (15.2 +/- 1.5 GPa) and an elastic modulus of 219.9 +/- 17.5 GPa. Furthermore, the strength of the HEC joint did not decrease at 1000 degrees C, increasing by similar to 49% over that of HEC/Ni/HEC diffusion-bonded joints, which have stringent surface flatness requirements. This suggested that the HEC/Nb2Ni interface had excellent resistance to high-temperature softening, even though it was invariably the initial failure location. This work is informative for designing bonding structures and preparing HEC components.

In this paper, two new efficient fully nonconforming polynomial finite element methods on arbitrary convex quadrilaterals are constructed to solve the Brinkman problem. Both elements have 12 local degrees of freedom and are uniformly first-order convergent. For the first element, we carefully design a shape function space of only degree four, which is convenient for practical computation. Meanwhile, the velocity solution obtained by our second element has O(h2) convergence order in the case of Darcy limit. These new elements can be regarded as modifications of a known element to effectively improve the computational efficiency, only the shape function space is properly changed. We verify our theoretical findings by numerical examples.
