Generation,validation and application of dynamic load profiles in flow measurement using cavitating Herschel–Venturi nozzles

Today, utility meters for water are tested for measurement behavior at stable operating conditions at specified flow rates as part of the approval process. The measurement error that occurs during start and stop or when changing between flow rates may not be taken into account. In addition, there are new technologies whose measuring behavior under real-world conditions is only known to a limited extend. To take these facts into account, a new method has been developed and tested to determine the measurement behavior of water meters under dynamic load profiles as they occur in the real application. For this purpose, a test rig for flow rate measurement was extended by a cavitation nozzle apparatus and the generation of dynamic load profiles was validated. For the cavitation nozzles used, possible factors influencing the flow rate, such as temperature and purity of the water as well as the upstream pressure were investigated. Using different types of domestic water meters, the applicability of the dynamic test procedure was demonstrated and the measurement behavior of the meters was characterised.     

Theoretical study on a kind of cyclization mechanism of boron trichloride and hexamethyldisilazane to form the borazine ring for SiBCN ceramics precursor

Borazine rings act as a pivotal part in siliconboroncarbonitride ceramics (SiBCN) for high-temperature stability and great resistance to crystallization. A detailed investigation of the ring formation mechanism will guide the design and synthesis of SiBCN to meet application requirements under extreme conditions. Boron trichloride (BCl₃) and hexamethyldisilazane (HN(SiMe₃)₂) are common raw materials for the synthesis of precursors for SiBCN. In this paper, quantum chemical calculation was used to study the cyclization reaction mechanism between BCl₃ and HN(SiMe₃)₂ to form trichloroborazine (TCBZ) at the MP2/6-31G (d,p) level of theory. We discussed the structure properties, reaction pathways, energy barriers, reaction rates, and other aspects in detail. The results show that BCl₃ and HN(SiMe₃)₂ alternately participate in the reaction process, accompanied by the release of trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS), and that the entire reaction shows an absolute advantage in terms of energy. In the Step by step reaction, lower reaction barriers are formed due to the introduction of BCl₃ with more heat released compared to that for the introduction of HN(SiMe₃)₂. The final single-molecule cyclization and TMCS elimination steps are found to be faster compared to all previous bimolecular reactions.

内燃机活塞环表面处理技术

活塞环在内燃机中有着支撑、密闭、储油、导热的作用,内燃机活塞环制备材料应该具备优良的加工性能、耐高温、耐腐蚀、导热性好且具有良好的强韧性,较好的与气缸材料表面的磨合性能。球墨铸铁和专用钢材已经成为制备内燃机活塞环的基础材料,目前国内外采用多种表面处理技术比如:镀铬、氮化、PVD与CVD镀膜、喷钼、喷涂陶瓷层等表面处理工艺进行表面改性,提高内燃机活塞环的使用寿命和使用性能。需要不断研究和开发新的内燃机活塞环的表面处理技术来满足实际生产和应用中内燃机越来越高的要求。     

Simulation studies on a rotating ring disk electrode: Effects of ionic migration with kinetic complication-disk results

In continuation to my previous work (Guha S. AIChE J. 2013;59(4):1390-1399), in this work, effects of ionic migration are evaluated for disk region of a rotating ring disk electrode system by numerically solving complex differential equations, developed for mass transfer along with kinetic complication in presence of ionic migration under limiting current condition. The system for simulation is 0.01 M Fe₂(SO₄)₃ solution with H₂SO₄ as supporting electrolyte. Simulation cases are presence and absence of ionic migration with kinetic complication (oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ under O₂ pressure). Results show that concentration boundary layer thickness of reactant Fe³⁺ reduces appreciably and steady-state disk current reduces substantially in presence of migration. Simulated steady-state disk current in absence of migration case agrees well with published data. Results indicate higher Fe²⁺ concentration in presence of migration and thereby higher rate of oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ at all rate constant values.     

上水口环形吹氩对中间包内渣眼形成的影响

 中间包上水口环形吹氩可以在塞棒周围形成清洗钢液的环形气幕，同时部分氩气泡随钢液进入上水口内，可以减少非金属夹杂物在水口内壁的黏附，起到防止水口堵塞的作用。然而，不合理的吹氩量会导致中间包内液面渣层受过强的气液羽流冲击而形成渣眼，使得钢液裸露并发生二次氧化，严重影响铸坯质量。采用标准 k ε 湍流模型研究中间包内流体流动，采用DPM模型和VOF模型耦合方法，研究上水口环形吹氩条件下渣眼的形成及演化规律。结果表明，上水口环形吹氩在塞棒周围形成较强的上升流，塞棒上部邻近区域存在多个涡流区；在钢液涡流的影响下，中间包液渣下层远离塞棒区域，上层向塞棒区域迁移；随着吹氩量的增大，平均湍动能增大，塞棒附近钢液速度逐渐增大，钢渣界面钢液速度先增大后减小，渣眼边缘钢液速度先增大后减小然后再增大，速度与垂直方向夹角逐渐减小；增大吹氩量，中间包熔池液面形成以塞棒为中心的渣眼，渣眼面积逐渐增大。试验条件下不产生渣眼的临界吹氩量为4.2 L/min，对应的钢渣界面最大速度为0.247 m/s，与垂直方向夹角为70°。     

Annular‐ring slot antenna designs with circular polarization radiation

The design of a microstrip‐fed annular‐ring slot antenna (ARSA) with circular polarization (CP) radiation is initially studied. To obtain CP radiation with broad 3‐dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth that can cover the WiMAX 2.3 GHz (2305–2320 MHz, 2345–2360 MHz) and WLAN 2.4 GHz (2400–2480 MHz) bands, a novel technique of extending an inverted L‐shaped slot from the bottom section of the annular‐ring is proposed. To suppress the harmonic modes induced by the CP ARSA, the technique of integrating a defected ground structure into the annular‐ring slot is further introduced. From the measured results, 10‐dB impedance bandwidth and 3‐dB AR bandwidth of 44.86 and 9.68% were achieved by the proposed harmonic suppressed CP ARSA. Furthermore, average gain and radiation efficiency of ～4.7 dBic and 71%, respectively, were also exhibited across the bands of interest. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

铝碳质长水口用低铝抗氧化涂层的研制

为抑制铝碳质长水口使用过程中石墨的氧化，其表面会涂覆含 20%~30%Al₂O₃的抗氧化涂层，但切割丝钢等特种钢冶炼过程必须严格控制钢液中夹杂的 Al₂O₃的含量，因此需要制备低氧化铝含量的抗氧化涂层。本文通过调节涂料组成、加水量和水玻璃加入量制备了低铝抗氧化涂层，并利用扫描电镜分析了抗氧化实验后试样断口的显微结构。结果表明：以粘土粉、钾长石粉和硅砂为主要原料，添加 10%硼砂的涂料可在 800 ℃形成良好的釉层，此时涂料中 A12O3的含量可降至 12%，得到了低铝涂料；当加入占涂料质量 80%的水和 40%的水玻璃时，涂层具有最佳的涂覆性能和抗氧化性能，涂层和长水口基体结合致密，保护了长水口中的石墨不被氧化。
