Axisymmetric extrusion through adaptable dies—Part 1: Flexible velocity fields and power terms

An adaptable die is one that not only produces the correct geometrical shape, but also is designed through an adaptable method to impart other desirable properties to the product or process. In this first part of a series of papers, six kinematically admissible velocity fields are developed for use in upper bound models for axisymmetric extrusion through various dies, including extrusion through adaptable dies. Three base velocity fields are presented:

(1) assuming proportional angles in the deformation zone,

(2) assuming proportional areas in the deformation zone, or

(3) assuming proportional distances from the centerline in the deformation zone.

The base velocity is modified by an additional term comprised of two functions. One function allows extra flexibility in the radial direction, and the second function allows extra flexibility in the angular direction. There are two forms of the second function, which meet the required boundary conditions. The flexibility function in the radial direction is represented by a series of Legendre polynomials, which are orthogonal over the deformation region. The power terms derived for these velocity fields for use in upper bound models are also presented.Part 2 of this series compares the results obtained in upper bound models for the six velocity fields for a spherical extrusion die. In Part 3, the use of the best velocity field for extrusion through streamlined dies is developed to determine the adaptable die shape, which minimizes the required extrusion pressure. Additionally, the adaptable die shape is compared with results from Yang and Han for arbitrarily curved and streamlined dies.     

Design consideration of photocatalytic oxidation reactors using TiO2-coated foam nickels for degrading indoor gaseous formaldehyde

In the design process of the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) reactor using TiO₂-coated foam nickels, the optimum of catalyst film thickness, light intensity and flow velocity were considered. A model was developed to study the effect of catalyst film thickness on photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde by a TiO₂-coated foam nickel at continuous flow mode. In this model, external mass transfer and internal molecule diffusion-reaction were considered. A first-order kinetics equation was used to account for the photocatalytic reaction. Two exponential equations were employed to describe the distribution of light intensities in foam nickels and catalyst films, respectively. Validated with experimental data, the model can be used to predict the optimal thickness of catalyst films. A method for determining appropriate light intensities was proposed and discussed. The appropriate light intensity can be obtained by giving a margin, regarded as an excess coefficient, to the light intensity calculated based on the assumption of complete use of excited electron–hole pairs. The excess coefficient needs to be determined experimentally. In addition, the optimal flow velocity of PCO reactors could be consistent with the required one by changing the windward area of foam nickels. Based on the theoretical analyses, a novel PCO reactor containing 15 parallel-connected cells was designed. Each reaction cell was composed of an UV lamp and a TiO₂-coated tubular foam nickel. The performance of the reactor was tested by degrading gaseous formaldehyde at an indoor concentration level. The results showed that the reactor had low pressure loss and good degradation capability.     

Reynolds number-dependent permeability of wastewater sludge flocs

Most theoretical models assume constant permeability of wastewater sludge floc. This work shows that, at creeping flow limit with small intrafloc Reynolds number, the permeability of floc can not only be affected by floc structure, but also by the external flow condition. The three-dimensional structure of flocs using the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) was firstly probed. Then, the volumetric grid models for sludge flocs were constructed. We noted that the floc permeability could keep unchanged, increased, or decreased at increased Reynolds number (Re). Flow redistribution among channels of various sizes contributes to the noted Re-dependent permeability of flocs.     

Shallow Turbulent Flows by Video Imaging Method

Shallow turbulent flows were produced in a tank of small thickness to study the friction effects on large-scale turbulent motion of small depth. The tank was constructed of two parallel walls. The space between the parallel walls (4.4, 1.57, and 0.59 cm) was small compared with the height (107 cm) and the width (212 cm) of the tank, and was varied during the experiments for different friction effects. Turbulent flows were produced by the injection of water in the form of starting jets into the tank filled with water. The large-scale turbulent flow in the small space between the walls of the tank is confined to essentially two-dimensional motion, and the motion is retarded by the force of friction. Dye was injected with the source fluid as the tracer for the highly unsteady and quasitwo-dimensional turbulent motion. From the initiation of the turbulent motion at the source to the final interaction of the jets with the tank bottom, the entire sequence of events was recorded by a pair of video cameras. The depth-averaged concentration of the dye was analyzed using the recorded video images.     

An investigation of the unstable region for dense phase conveying in sliding bed flow

For fine powdered materials, capable of being conveyed in dense phase, a conveying region exists in which instability in flow and pipeline blockage can occur if the pressure gradient available is insufficient to maintain a minimum value of solids loading ratio. A reduction in material flow rate can also lead to pipeline blockage in this region. Conveying trials under-taken with cement are used to illustrate the nature of the problem.     

A kinetic model for the acid-oxygen pressure leaching of Ni–Cu matte

A semi-empirical mathematical model for the acid-oxygen pressure leaching of Ni–Cu matte is presented, based on data from batch leaching experiments. The primary controlling factor in the leaching process is found to be galvanic inhibition of the more highly oxidized copper and nickel sulfide species by less oxidized species, particularly Ni alloy and Ni₃S₂. The leaching rate of many species is greatly reduced by the presence of one or both of these phases, and others will not commence leaching until neither is present. The mathematical model is based on first-order chemical reaction controlled rate expressions, as the reactions occurring are electrochemical in nature. Mass transfer effects are included only empirically. Some possibly diffusion-related phenomena are noted, although the model is not extended to incorporate these effects on a fundamental level. The model is verified and extended by the inclusion of several different factors that were tested experimentally. The effects of variations in O₂ flow rate and partial pressure, initial particle size, reaction pulp density and initial acid concentration were all studied, and included in the model. Variations in O₂ flow rate and partial pressure are found to affect the reaction rates via the dissolved oxygen concentration in the solution phase.

Velocity Profile in Fixed Beds: A Study on the Representativeness of the Experimental Measurement of Downstream Flow Characteristics

Although considerable progress has been made in the development of experimental techniques for investigating velocity distribution inside a fixed bed, these techniques were limited to special cases. Consequently, the velocity distribution is normally measured at downstream of the fixed bed and then this measurement is considered to be representative for the flow inside the bed. To evaluate the representativeness of this technique, this work presents a study of the change in the flow characteristics, starting from the boundary of the fixed bed within the pipe to a downstream position where the experimental measurement is taken, by using simulations based on computational fluid dynamics methods.
