Abstract: Provided are a nickel-nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite catalyst and a preparation method and use thereof. The method for preparing the nickel-nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite catalyst includes: mixing a nickel salt metal precursor, an aluminum salt metal precursor, a calcium salt metal precursor, and an organic fuel to obtain a mixed precursor; drying and calcining the mixed precursor sequentially to obtain a nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite precursor; and placing the nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite precursor in a flowing hydrogen atmosphere, and subjecting the nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite precursor to reduction reaction to obtain the nickel-nickel aluminum spinel-calcium hexaaluminate composite catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combustion system design method based on a target heat release rate, which belongs to the technical field of diesel engine combustion chamber design. The method includes: obtaining an ideal heat release rate based on Sabathe-Miller cycle; simulating the ideal heat release rate based on a double-Wiebe function and obtaining the target heat release rate; constructing a mapping relation among the heat release rate, piston geometric parameters and fuel injection parameters, which includes target start of combustion being an function of fuel injection timing and ignition delay, premixed combustion parameters being functions of throat radius, injection pressure and nozzle diameter, and diffusion combustion being a function of piston pit depth; solving target piston geometric parameters and target fuel injection parameters based on the mapping relation; and then designing a combustion system.

Abstract: Materials and methods for creating canola (e.g., Brassica napus) lines having oil with increased oleic acid content are provided herein. For example, a Brassica plant, plant part, or plant cell having an induced mutation in one or more FAD2 gene copies, oil produced from the plant, plant part, or plant cell has increased oleic acid content and decreased linolenic acid content as compared to oil produced from a corresponding wild type Brassica plant, plant part, or plant cell, wherein the mutation was induced by one or more rare cutting endonucleases targeted to the one or more FAD2 gene copies, and methods of making and using the Brassica plant, plant part or plant cell, are provided.
