石蜡与石蜡/膨胀石墨熔化性能的实验研究

为改善相变储能过程中石蜡(PA)的熔化性能，向PA中添加少量膨胀石墨(EG)制备了4种配比的石蜡/膨胀石墨复合相变材料(PA-EG)。通过热物性分析筛选出合适配比的PA-EG，并对其和PA在水平管壳式相变储能单元中的熔化过程进行了实验研究。根据相变材料的温度场变化以及加权法计算得到的熔化分数变化，对比分析了添加EG前后PA的熔化性能，并探究了加热温度对相变材料熔化性能的影响。结果表明，PA-EG3的热导率比PA高了7倍，且两者的相变温度和潜热相差不大。PA-EG3熔化过程中的自然对流效应弱于PA，但是较高的热导率能够显著改善相变储能单元中下部的熔化，使得其整体熔化速度快于PA。当加热温度为80℃时，PA-EG3的熔化过程比PA缩短了78.16%。此外，降低加热温度会使PA和PA-EG3的完全熔化时间都显著增加，但相同条件下PA-EG3的增加幅度更小。

A benchmark data set for two-phase Coriolis metering

For more than a decade there has been growing interest in the use of Coriolis mass flow metering applied to two-phase (gas/liquid) and multiphase (oil/water/gas) conditions. It is well-established that the mass flow and density measurements generated from multiphase flows are subject to large errors, and a variety of physical models and correction techniques have been proposed to explain and/or to compensate for these errors. One difficulty is the absence of a common basis for comparing correction techniques, because different flowtube designs and configurations, as well as liquid and gas properties, may result in quite different error curves. Furthermore, some researchers with interests in the modelling aspects of the field may not have suitable multiphase laboratory facilities to generate their own data sets. This paper offers a small data set that may be used by researchers as a benchmark i.e. a common data set for comparing correction techniques. The data set was collected at the UK National Flow Laboratory TUV-NEL, using air and a viscous oil, and provides experimental points over a wide flow range (8:1 turndown) and with Gas Volume Fraction (GVF) values up to 60%. As a first investigation using the benchmark data set, we consider how data sparsity (i.e. the flow rate and GVF spacing in the experimental grid) affects the accuracy of a correction model. A range of neural network models are evaluated, based on different subsets of the benchmark data set. The data set and some exemplary code are provided with the paper. Additional data sets are available on a web site created to support this initiative.     

Shear and extensional rheology of selected polysaccharides

Rheology is used for the elucidation of the flow properties of polysaccharide solutions. For a given polysaccharide, both shear and extensional rheological experiments should be performed for the full characterisation of its flow properties. The provided information will facilitate the efficient exploitation of a polysaccharide in various applications. Although shear rheology is widely used in polysaccharides’ characterisation, there are only limited extensional rheology studies due to lack of reliable techniques in the formation of pure extensional flow. However, recently, several commercial extensional rheometers have been developed and thus, accurate extensional experiments can now be performed. The present work initially presents the principles and concepts of both shear and extensional rheology and then reports rheological findings for solutions of various polysaccharides and their derivatives. Xanthan and various members of the galactomannan, cellulose and alginate families were selected.

Power flow calculation for a distribution system with multi-port PETs: an improved AC-DC decoupling iterative method

Recently, power electronic transformers (PETs) have received widespread attention owing to their flexible networking, diverse operating modes, and abundant control objects. In this study, we established a steady-state model of PETs and applied it to the power flow calculation of AC–DC hybrid systems with PETs, considering the topology, power balance, loss, and control characteristics of multi-port PETs. To address new problems caused by the introduction of the PET port and control equations to the power flow calculation, this study proposes an iterative method of AC–DC mixed power flow decoupling based on step optimization, which can achieve AC–DC decoupling and effectively improve convergence. The results show that the proposed algorithm improves the iterative method and overcomes the overcorrection and initial value sensitivity problems of conventional iterative algorithms.     

Mixed convection flow of a Maxwell nanofluid with Hall and ion‐slip impacts employing the spectral relaxation method

This article investigates the Hall and ion‐slip impacts on the mixed convection flow of a Maxwell nanofluid over an expanding surface in a permeable medium. The impacts of Brownian movement and thermophoresis parameters, Soret, Dufour, viscous dissipation, chemical reaction, and suction parameters, are, moreover, considered. Using the similitude changes, the partial differential equations with regard to the momentum, energy, and concentration equations are transformed to an arrangement of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are handled numerically utilizing a spectral relaxation method (SRM). The impacts of noteworthy physical parameters on the velocities, thermal, and concentration distributions are investigated graphically. Moreover, the numerical values of skin‐friction coefficients, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood number for different values of the mixed convection parameter $\left(\gamma \right),$ Deborah number $\left(\lambda \right),$ Hall parameter $({\beta }_{\mathrm{H}}),$ ion‐slip parameter $({\beta }_{\mathrm{i}}),$ Dufour number (Du), and Soret number $\left(\mathit{Sr}\right)$ are computed and tabulated. It is discovered that ascent in Deborah number reduces both the stream and transverse velocity profiles, while the inverse pattern is seen with augmentation in the mixed convection parameter. In addition, inverse patterns of the stream and transverse velocity profiles are seen with expansion in magnetic, Hall, and ion‐slip parameters. Besides this, the temperature and concentration disseminations decline with augmentation in Dufour number and chemical reaction parameters, respectively. It is likewise seen that both the skin‐friction coefficients lessen with expansion in Deborah number, and they ascend with upgrade in blended convection and ion‐slip parameters, while the opposite condition is noticed with augmentation in Hall parameter. Furthermore, the reverse trends of local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discovered with expansion in the Dufour and Soret numbers.

超临界CO2环境中温度和流速对N80碳钢腐蚀行为的影响

目的研究超临界CO2环境中温度和流速对N80碳钢腐蚀行为的影响,探讨N80碳钢在超临界CO2环境中的腐蚀机制。方法利用高压釜进行失重和电化学测试,同时利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和X射线衍射仪(XRD)进行腐蚀形貌观察和腐蚀产物成分分析。结果当温度为40℃时,腐蚀速率最小,电化学阻抗随时间延长持续减小,此条件下并没形成FeCO3保护膜。升高温度导致腐蚀初期的腐蚀速率明显增大,然而腐蚀某个时刻后,电化学阻抗突然增大,意味着FeCO3保护膜的形成。温度越高,腐蚀24 h后的阻抗越大,产物膜越致密,保护性越好。另外,腐蚀失重速率随流速的增加而增大,电化学测试也表明流速越大,阻抗越小,腐蚀电流密度越大。SEM形貌分析表明,流体流动破坏了FeCO3膜的致密度,降低了其对N80碳钢基体的保护作用。结论尽管升高温度加速了N80碳钢的腐蚀,但却有利于保护性FeCO3膜的形成。温度越高,FeCO3膜越致密。流体流动破坏了保护性FeCO3膜的致密性,加速了N80碳钢腐蚀。
