Study on the difference of dispersion behavior between hydrogen and methane in utility tunnel

Compared to liquid/gas hydrogen tank, the pipeline is an economical way for hydrogen transportation. With the quick development of utility tunnel in China, hydrogen pipeline enters the gas compartment can be expected soon. However, all the safety requirements of the gas compartment in the current standards are designed for natural gas, and the applicability for hydrogen is unknown. Therefore, a series of studies were started to investigate the safety of hydrogen in utility tunnel. In this work, a real utility tunnel locates at Shanghai was selected as the physical object. A 3D numerical model was built and successfully validated by a scaled tunnel test. The model has the maximum deviation of +9.5%. After that, a comparatively study of the dispersion behavior of CH₄ and H₂ was conducted. The assumed scenario was a 20 mm small-hole leaks with gauge pressure of 1.0 MPa in the middle of the tunnel. Numerical results shown that, H₂ has a larger dispersion velocity and higher concentration, and is more dangerous compared to CH₄. The current emergency ventilation strategy of air change rate of 12 times/h is not effective enough to dilute the H₂ flammable cloud. The alarm time of the testing points shown strong linear law. There was a sharp variation in the range of 20%–100% LFL (Lower Flammable Limit), so the alarm strategy in the tunnel standards is too ideal for both CH₄ and H₂. The numerical results in the present study could provide a guidance for the design and safety management of the hydrogen tunnel.     

Experimental study on the propagation characteristics of hydrogen/methane/air premixed flames in a narrow channel

This work is focused on the explosion characteristics of premixed gas containing different volume fractions of hydrogen in a narrow channel (1000 mm × 50 mm × 10 mm) under the circumstance of stoichiometric ratio. The ignition positions were set in the closed end and the middle of the pipeline respectively. The results showed that when the gas was ignited at the pipeline closed end, the propagating flame was tulip structure for different premixed gas. When the hydrogen volume fraction was less than 40%, the flame propagation speed increased significantly with the rise of hydrogen volume fraction, and the overpressure peak also appeared obviously in advance. However, when the volume fraction of hydrogen was more than 40%, the increase of flame propagation speed and the overpressure peak occurrence time varied slightly. Furthermore, when the ignition position was placed in the middle of the pipeline, the flame propagation speed propagating to the opening end was much faster than that propagating to the closing end, and there was no tulip shape when the flame propagates to the opening end. The flame propagating to the closed end appeared tulip shape under the influence of airflow, and high-frequency flame oscillation occurred during the propagation. This work shows that the hydrogen volume fraction and ignition position significantly affected the flame structure, flame front speed, and explosion overpressure.

A kinetic study of gaseous alkali capture by kaolin in the fixed bed reactor equipped with an alkali detector

In this study, the interaction between gas phase potassium species and kaolin was investigated in a fixed bed reactor equipped with a surface ionization detector, which is capable of detecting alkali metals in gas phase at ppb level. The effects of mass transport, space time, sorbent temperature and concentration of KCl on the rate of potassium adsorption on kaolin were studied in air. Kaolin, mainly composed of kaolinite—Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄, was found to be very efficient in removing gaseous alkali species from hot flue gases at fluidized bed combustion temperatures. The removal efficiency increased as temperature was decreased or KCl concentration was increased. The capture of potassium by kaolin was irreversible with formation of both water-soluble and water-insoluble products. Kaolin captured KOH almost as effectively as KCl, but K₂SO₄ was captured much less effectively than KCl.     

The inverse of material properties of functionally graded pipes using the dispersion of guided waves and an artificial neural network

Using guided circumferential wave dispersion characteristics, an inverse method based on artificial neural network (ANN) is presented to determine the material properties of functionally graded material (FGM) pipes. The group velocities of lowest modes at six lower frequencies are used as the inputs of the ANN model. The distribution function of the volume fraction of the FGM pipe is fitted to a polynomial, then the outputs of the ANN are the coefficients of the fitting polynomial. The Legendre polynomial method is employed as the forward solver to calculate the dispersion curves for the FGM pipe. Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is used as numerical optimization to speed up the training process of the ANN model.     

真空度对真空冷喷涂气固两相流的影响

目的真空度直接影响着真空冷喷涂时气体流动特性和颗粒撞击速度,研究真空度对气体和颗粒流动特性的影响。方法确定真空冷喷涂系统结构,采用FLUENT软件进行真空冷喷涂气固两相流研究,通过数值模拟研究真空度对流场和颗粒撞击速度的影响,并研究相同压力比下的气固两相流特性。结果当入口压力一定时,喷管内的气体轴线速度、密度和温度与环境压力大小无关;而在射流区,环境压力越小,则气体轴线速度波动越小、密度越低,但到达基板后的气体温度均接近喷管入口温度。环境压力对大粒径颗粒的撞击速度影响较大,颗粒撞击速度随环境压力增大而先增后减,最佳环境压力可根据气相云图和气体密度来确定。当进出口压力比相同时,喷管内和射流区域内的气相速度云图基本相同,气体轴线速度曲线基本重合,而基板前的颗粒速度不同,此时环境压力越低,颗粒速度越高,越有利于形成涂层。结论采用计算流体动力学分析方法厘清了真空度对真空冷喷涂气固两相流的影响,为涂层制备奠定了理论基础。     

Adhesion phenomena in the secondary shear zone in turning of austenitic stainless steel and carbon steel

This paper aims to increase the understanding of the adhesion between chip and tool rake face by studying the initial material transfer to the tool during orthogonal machining at 150 m/min. Two types of work material were tested, an austenitic stainless steel, 316L, and a carbon steel, UHB 11. The tools used were cemented carbide inserts coated with hard ceramic coatings. Two different CVD coatings, TiN and Al₂O₃, produced with two different surface roughnesses, polished and rough, were tested. The influences of both tool surface topography and chemistry on the adhesion phenomena in the secondary shear zone were thus evaluated. Extensive surface analyses of the inserts after cutting were made using techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). As expected, cutting in the stainless steel resulted in a higher amount of adhered material, compared to cutting in the carbon steel. Remnants of built-up layers were found on the surfaces of the 316L chips but not on the UHB 11 chips. Moreover, it was shown that for both materials the tool roughness had a profound effect, with the rougher surfaces comprising much higher amounts of adhered material than the polished ones. Non-metallic inclusions from both types of workpiece steels accumulate in the high temperature area on the inserts. The general tendency was that higher amounts of transferred material were found on the TiN coating than on the Al₂O₃ coating after cutting.     

An adaptive Kriging method with double sampling criteria applied to hydrogen preparation case

Kriging model has been widely used to approximate expensive black-box problems in many engineering design fields. How to choose an appropriate sampling strategy to produce new expensive updated points is crucial. For this purpose, an adaptive Kriging method with double sampling criteria (AKM-DSC) is proposed. During every iteration of it, maximum curvature criterion and maximum variance criterion based on Kriging model are respectively optimized by trust region (TR) strategy to produce two candidate points. And then, a new screening method is used to determine final expensive-evaluation points from the two candidates. The proposed method is compared with the two typical Kriging modeling methods. The comparison results of seventeen benchmark functions verify that the proposed method can generate higher accuracy Kriging model. Finally, a hydrogen preparation case illustrates the engineering application value of the AKM-DSC method.
