Outcome‐based ventilation: A framework for assessing performance,health, and energy impacts to inform office building ventilation decisions

This article presents an outcome‐based ventilation (OBV) framework, which combines competing ventilation impacts into a monetized loss function ($/occ/h) used to inform ventilation rate decisions. The OBV framework, developed for U.S. offices, considers six outcomes of increasing ventilation: profitable outcomes realized from improvements in occupant work performance and sick leave absenteeism; health outcomes from occupant exposure to outdoor fine particles and ozone; and energy outcomes from electricity and natural gas usage. We used the literature to set low, medium, and high reference values for OBV loss function parameters, and evaluated the framework and outcome‐based ventilation rates using a simulated U.S. office stock dataset and a case study in New York City. With parameters for all outcomes set at medium values derived from literature‐based central estimates, higher ventilation rates’ profitable benefits dominated negative health and energy impacts, and the OBV framework suggested ventilation should be ≥45 L/s/occ, much higher than the baseline ~8.5 L/s/occ rate prescribed by ASHRAE 62.1. Only when combining very low parameter estimates for profitable impacts with very high ones for health and energy impacts were all outcomes on the same order. Even then, however, outcome‐based ventilation rates were often twice the baseline rate or more.     

基于现场监测与数值模拟的浅层采空区稳定性分析

隐患采空区是目前影响露天开采矿山安全生产的主要危害源之一。随着台阶开采的不断剥离,露天开采境界内各台阶与地下空区群的隔离层厚度越来越薄,随时有可能发生采空区顶板坍塌事故。考虑到露天矿采空区地质赋存条件和围岩稳固性等特征,以弓长岭露天铁矿浅层采空区为工程背景,运用现场监测和数值模拟相结合的手段综合分析了浅层采空区的稳定性。将液体静力水准地表沉降监测系统的监测数据与FLAC数值模拟结果对比,调整蠕变参数使得数值模拟的蠕变速率与现场监测结果一致,而后据此进行未来结果的预测。最终根据地表沉降数据确定的蠕变参数取值为A=1.0×10^-12、m=1.75、n=0.35。研究表明:静力水准测点地表最大沉降位移为-9.8 mm,蠕变计算结果顶板最大垂直位移约20.4 mm,应力最大值约25 MPa,综合分析显示该采空区较稳定。上述研究提供了一种基于采空区现场监测数据的数值模拟蠕变分析方法,可为类似矿山采空区稳定性分析提供借鉴。     

陕北沙漠区浅埋厚煤层开采潜水位及生态响应

煤炭开采造成上覆岩层破裂、移动，破坏了矿区含（隔）水层结构，改变了地表水及地下水循环演化状态，对浅表层生态环境造成严重影响，引发一系列环境地质问题。为深入研究沙漠地区厚煤层开采给潜水位及生态环境造成的影响，以毛乌素沙漠金鸡滩矿为例，对水文地质条件进行了研究，采用数值模拟的方法，模拟了沙漠区厚煤层开采潜水位的变化，并通过采动潜水位监测数据验证了预测结果。调查分析了研究区及周边地表生态环境现状，预测采后潜水位基本满足植物生长需求，对生态环境影响不大。

Numerical Study on the Morphology of a Re-Ignited Laminar Partially Premixed Flame with a Co-Axial Pilot Flame

Re-ignited partially premixed flame(PPF)is a quite extensive flame type in real applications,which is directly relevant to the local and global extinction and re-ignition phenomenon.The authors designed a model burner to establish laminar re-ignited PPFs.Numerical simulations were carried out to reveal the morphology of laminar re-ignited PPF.Based on the distributions of temperature,heat release and radicals,the morphologies of re-ignited flames were explored.W-shaped flames were formed under pilot-lean conditions.Line-shaped and y-shaped flames were formed under pilot-rich conditions.Both w-shaped and y-shaped flames had a triple-flame structure.The re-ignited flames can stand beyond the rich flammability limit.Additionally,OH distributions indicated both pilot flame and re-ignited flame well as it rapidly increased near the flame front.OH concentration did not increase visibly while CH2O concentration mildly increased during the mild re-ignition process in the pre-zone of the re-ignited PPF.According to the results of 0-D simulations using closed homogeneous reactor,both OH and CH2O reduced ignition time significantly.The results of this work are helpful for understanding re-ignited PPF more closely.     

三山岛北部海域金矿大规模海下开采地表岩移预测分析

三山岛北部海域金矿赋存于海平面下,设计生产能力达到12 000t/d,水下开采技术难度大,若矿体开采强度过高、顶柱隔离层保留不足,将可能造成海床沉降变形,引发海水倒灌的风险。根据矿床开采技术条件,在获取有限岩石力学参数条件下,本次采用软件模拟分析了海下矿床上向充填法开采条件下的地表岩移特征。研究结果表明,地表沉降变形最大值分布于矿体上盘区域,随着开采由深部逐渐转入浅部区域,地表沉降变形不断增大,研究建议留设160m顶柱,能够保证海下矿体安全开采。     

深部大采高工作面煤柱留设优化数值模拟研究

为缓解高产高效矿井采掘接续紧张局面，鄂尔多斯地区综采工作面多采用“两进一回”的巷道布置形式，辅运巷在回采结束后用作下一工作面的回风巷，两进风巷之间采用大煤柱护巷。但随着该地区采深600 m以上的深部矿井增多，冲击地压灾害问题逐渐显现，双巷大煤柱留设的弊端也暴露出来。针对此问题，以鄂尔多斯红庆河煤矿3^-1101大采高综采工作面为例，对不同宽度煤柱留设的应力分布规律进行建模研究，提出了合理的煤柱留设宽度，为鄂尔多斯地区类似条件矿井的安全高效开采提供参考依据。
