Enhancement of natural ventilation in rectangular enclosure with two openings by thin fin

A numerical method was used to study the natural ventilation in a rectangular enclosure with two symmetrical openings. In order to improve the natural ventilation efficiency, a fin was introduced into the enclosure. Steady-state heat transfer by laminar natural ventilation in a partially divided rectangular enclosure was investigated by numerically solving equations of mass, momentum and energy. Streamlines and isotherms were produced and heat transfer rate were calculated. A parametric study was carried out using the following parameters: Rayleigh number (1×10³ − 1×10⁶), dimensionless length (0–0.7) and position values (−0.7−0.7). It is found that the Nusselt number is an increasing function of Rayleigh number. By comparing with no-fin case, it is concluded that fin can effectively enhance the natural ventilation in the enclosure.

水平管道过冷沸腾换热的非稳态数值计算

为研究循环式冷却系中涉及的过冷沸腾流动传热特性,基于VOF多相流模型和Lee相变模型对一水平管道中的过冷流动沸腾过程进行非稳态数值计算。考虑到沸腾起始点的影响,在Lee模型的基础上引入Bergles提出的沸腾起始点关联式以对其进行修正。从热边界层发展和沸腾阶段的发展两方面分析水平管道过冷沸腾换热过程中的流动换热特性及其波动规律,总结了不同热流密度工况下相关参数的分布关系以及对流换热系数沿流动方向的分布规律。结果表明：热边界层的发展和沸腾不断加剧使得流场的不稳定性增加,加热区域后部对流换热系数的波动幅值是入口附近的2倍;热流密度的增加使得流动和换热参数沿流动方向的变化速度加快,热流密度为250 kW/m²工况下,热边界层发展所影响区域约为150 kW/m²工况下的60%;热边界层的发展使得加热段前部的对流换热系数呈现前高后低的特点。当受热区域热流密度较大时,换热设备可以通过减小换热通道长度的方式,在提升换热效率同时减小沸腾带来的换热系数波动的影响。

Analysis of the effects of the heat of sorption on the process of heat transfer in moisture exchange across a membrane

A theoretical study has been conducted to investigate the effects of mass transfer on heat transfer in moisture exchange across a membrane and a mathematical model describing the heat transfer process with consideration of the heat of sorption was established. A dimensionless variable, Ψ =JLλ /δ (T ₁₀−T ₂₀), which controls the effect of the heat of sorption on the heat transfer in membrane process, was obtained through theoretical analysis, and the effects of Ψ on the heat transfer process were analyzed. Results showed that in the case that the temperature gradient and mass transfer are in the same direction, the effective heat flux changes the direction at Ψ=1. For Ψ<1, the heat transfers from high to low temperature sides through the membrane, and the total thermal resistance increases with increasing the moisture flux across membrane or reducing the temperature difference between the bulk flows on the two sides of membrane. For Ψ>1, the overall effect of the heat and mass transfer is that the effective heat flux points from low to high temperature sides and the total thermal resistance decreases with increasing the mass flux or reducing the temperature difference. In the case that the temperature gradient and mass transfer are in the opposite directions, the existence of the heat of sorption acts to enhance the heat transfer from high to low temperature sides, causing a reduced total thermal resistance, and the greater the mass flux or the smaller the temperature difference, the smaller the total thermal resistance.

Electrochemical behavior of K3Fe（CN）6 in water-in-oil microemulsion

A water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion composed of Triton X-100, n-hexanol, n-hexane and water solution with hydrochloric acid was prepared. K₃Fe(CN)₆ was added in as a water-soluble electroactive probe, and its electrochemical behavior was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is found that the H⁺ concentration of the water phase has a great effect on the conductivity of the W/O microemulsion, and hence influences the electrochemical behavior of K₃Fe(CN)₆. When the pH value of water phase is about 7, the electrical conductivity of the W/O microemulsion is only 1.2×10⁻⁶ S/cm, and K₃Fe(CN)₆ almost cannot react at the glassy carbon electrode. But when the H⁺ concentration is more than 3 mol/L, the W/O microemulsion has a good electrical conductivity and K₃Fe(CN)₆ shows good electrochemical performance in it. The results of CV and EIS studies indicate that the electrochemical behavior of Fe(CN)₆ ³⁻/Fe(CN)₆ ⁴⁻ in the W/O microemulsion is different from that in the aqueous solution. This may be due to the unique liquid structure of the W/O microemulsion and the unique mass transfer in the W/O microemulsion.

Surface modification of magnesium hydroxide by γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane

Magnesium hydroxide（MH）,which is commonly used as a halogen-free flame retardant filler in composite materials,was modified by silanization reaction with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane （γ-APS） in aqueous solution at different pH values （pH range from 8.0 to 12.0）. The surface properties of grafted γ-APS on MH surface as a function of solution pH value were studied using elemental analysis,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and zeta potential measurement. The results show that hydrolysis and condensation of γ-APS are activated in alkaline solution and lead to multilayer adsorption of γ-APS molecules on the surface of MH. The type of adsorption orientation of γ-APS on MH surface is a function of coverage density that is altered by changing solution pH value. At low coverage density （e.g. 55 nm^-2）,γ-APS molecules are preferentially adsorbed to the surface with the silicon moiety towards the surface,and increasing coverage density （e.g. 90 nm^-2） leads to parallel orientation. At an even higher coverage density （e.g. 115 nm^-2）,γ-APS molecules bond to the surface with the amino moiety towards the surface.

High temperature plastic deformation behavior of non-oriented electrical steel

High temperature plastic deformation behavior of non-orientated electrical steel was investigated by Gleeble 1500 thermo-mechanical simulator at strain rate of 0.01−10 s⁻¹ and high temperature of 500–1 200 °C. The stress level factor (a), stress exponent (n), structural factor (A) and activation energy (Q) of high temperature plastic deformation process of non-orientated electrical steel in different temperature ranges were calculated by the Arrhenius model. The results show that, with dynamic elevation of deformation temperature, phase transformation from α-Fe to γ-Fe takes place simultaneously during plastic deformation, dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization process, leading to an irregular change of the steady flow stress. For high temperature plastic deformation between 500 and 800°C, the calculated values of a, n, A, and Q are 0.039 0 MPa⁻¹, 7.93, 1.9×10¹⁸ s⁻¹, and 334.8 kJ/mol, respectively, and for high temperature plastic deformation between 1 050 and 1 200 °C, the calculated values of a, n, A, and Q are 0.125 8 MPa⁻¹, 5.29, 1.0×10²⁸ s⁻¹, and 769.9 kJ/mol, respectively.

Implementation and control of asymmetric thermal environment in two-dimensional rectangular enclosure

Laminar natural convection in an enclosure divided by an adiabatic partition on its bottom with two unequal discrete heat sources was investigated numerically. The effect of the partition on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in enclosure under asymmetric heating condition was studied. The parameters are the Rayleigh number (1×10⁴≤Ra≤1×10⁶) and the height of partition (0≤h/H≤0.70). The streamlines are produced for various Rayleigh numbers. The results reflected by variations of the average Nusselt number in terms of the height of partition illustrates the convection heat transfer in the enclosure. The role of the partition is to weaken or cut off the heat removal rate from the strong heat source to the weak heat source. It is analyzed that the optimum height of the partition to break the linkage between the strong and weak heat source increases with increasing Rayleigh number.

Selective leaching of chromium-containing slag by HCl

A batch of column experiments was carried out to investigate the change of Cr（Ⅵ） concentration leached out from chromium-containing slag with HCI as leaching agent, and to study influences of pH, ratio of solid mass to solution volume, flow velocity and temperature on Cr（Ⅵ） leaching. The optimal parameters were obtained for Cr（Ⅵ） leaching and a fitting model was established to describe the procedure of Cr（Ⅵ） leaching. The results show that Cr（Ⅵ） concentration in leachate increases with decreasing pH and increasing flow velocity and temperature. Moreover, Cr（Ⅵ） leaching percentage increases with increasing ratio of solid mass to solution volume. The optimal parameters for Cr（Ⅵ） selective leaching are as follows： pH=3.0, 1：5 of ratio of solid mass to solution volume, 180 mL/min of flow velocity and 40 ℃ of temperature. The procedure of Cr（Ⅵ） leaching fits well with the model： v= 1.87t^-0.54, indicating that the leaching rate of Cr（Ⅵ） declines in an exponential order of-0.54.

Electrochemical behavior of diverse vanadium ions at modified graphite felt electrode in sulphuric solution

PAN-based graphite felt (PGF) treated in 98% sulphuric acid for 5 h and then kept at 450 ℃ for 2 h was evaluated for their electrochemical performance as electrodes of vanadium redox battery (VRB). Structure and characteristic of treated PAN-based graphite felt (TPGF) were determined by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis and VRB test system. The results show that the acid and heat synergistic effect increase the number of —COOH functional groups on the PGF surface, and the PGF is eroded by sulphuric acid oxidation, resulting in the surface area increases from 0.31 m2/g to 0.45 m2/g. The V(Ⅱ)/V(Ⅲ) redox reaction is electrochemically reversible on the TPGF electrode, while the V(Ⅳ)/V(Ⅴ) couple is a quasi reversible process. The diffusion coefficients of the oxidation for V(Ⅳ)/V(Ⅴ) obtained from the scope of peak current Ip vs scan rate v1/2 is 4.4×10-5 cm2/s. The improvement of electrochemical activity for the electrode is mainly ascribed to the increase of the number of —COOH groups on the TPGF, which behaves as active sites catalyzing the vanadium species reactions and accelerating electron transfer reaction and oxygen transfer.

Mechanism of zinc electroplating in alkaline zincate solution

The cathodic deposition properties and mechanism of Zn in alkaline zincate solution were studied by electrochemical techniques. The results show that Zn2 exists in the alkaline solution in the form of Zn(OH)42-. The apparent activation energy of the electrode reaction is 38.93 kJ/mol, which indicates that the discharge of Zn(OH)42- on cathode is controlled by electrochemical polarization, and accompanied by a preceding chemical reaction. The diffusion coefficient of Zn(OH)42- is 2.452×10-6 cm2/s. Zn(OH)2 is the species directly discharged on the cathode surface. Based on the above results the mechanism of zinc electroplating in alkaline zincate solution was put forward. The discharged species is Zn(OH)2 formed from the preceding chemical reaction, which becomes Zn(OH)ad when gaining one electron, and then gaining the second electron to become Zn. The first electron gaining step is rate determining one.
