Analysis and optimisation of particle mixing performance in fluid phase resonance mixers based on Euler/Lagrange calculations

A novel mixing principle utilising oscillating liquid columns was analysed numerically with regard to particle dispersion characteristics. For producing fluid oscillations a pipe (diameter 100 mm) was immersed centrally into a vessel (diameter 450 mm) filled with liquid (filling height 700 mm) and periodically pressurised (frequency 1.2 Hz). The outlet geometry of the central pipe, just ending near the vessel bottom, has a strong effect on mixing and was optimised in this study. The principle of a FPR-mixer does not require rotating stirrers and in the turbulent regime it has power numbers comparable to propellers. The numerical calculations were conducted by a Euler/Lagrange approach neglecting two-way coupling as well as inter-particle collisions for clarity in order to only focus on the effect of interfacial forces on particle dispersion. The continuous phase was calculated in an unsteady way based on the Reynolds-averaged equations combined with the k-ω-SST (shear stress transport) turbulence model. Lagrangian tracking was conducted considering all relevant forces; drag, gravity/buoyancy, fluid inertia, added mass, Basset force and transverse lift forces due to shear and particle rotation. The importance of these forces was analysed with respect to the turbulent particle Stokes number (considered range 0.004 < St < 10.0) and particle/liquid density ratio (i.e. 1.05, 1.5 and 2.5). Finally, the significance of Basset force and shear-rotation lift force (i.e. Magnus effect) on the dispersion process was quantified by mixing parameters.     

下荆江熊家洲至城陵矶弯曲型河段河床调整规律

三峡水库运用后, 坝下游水沙过程发生了较大调整, 对下荆江熊家洲至城陵矶弯曲型河段河床冲淤演变造成较大影响, 从而对本河段河势稳定、防洪、航运等可能造成不利的影响, 基于此, 根据最新实测资料分析水沙条件变 化及其对本河段河床调整规律的影响。研究成果显示: 三峡水库运用后, 水流含沙量大幅减小, 且水库调蓄导致熊 家洲至城陵矶河段在枯水期径流量明显增加, 使弯道主流长期偏向于凸岸, 引起凸岸边滩大幅冲刷, 这是近期该河段发生“撇弯切滩”的主要原因之一; 随着三峡上游干支流水库群陆续建成运用, 坝下游河道将会长期遭受清水冲 刷, 河床仍将呈单向冲刷下切的趋势, 弯顶段主流平面摆动仍将较大, 弯道顶冲点也将相应下移, 导致主流贴岸距离 进一步下延, 引起河道岸线的崩退, 未来一段时期内典型弯曲型河道的局部河势变化仍将明显。

油封唇口温度变化对密封性能的影响

基于流量因子统计学方法建立油封唇口的混合流体润滑模型,耦合油封的能量守恒方程及黏温方程,通过迭代求解获得油封唇口的温度分布、不同转速下油封唇口的最高温度及温差变化情况;对比分析考虑和不考虑温差情况下油封各项密封性能。结果表明:随着转速的增大,唇口最高温度线性递增,而唇口温差先增大后减小;油封工作时,唇口区域的温度先迅速升高后下降,越靠近唇尖的位置温度越高;与不考虑温度的情况比较,考虑温度变化的影响时密封区域的油膜厚度减小,油膜承载力下降,不利于密封。     

The Electron–Phonon Interaction of Low-Dimensional and Multi-Dimensional Materials from He Atom Scattering

Atom scattering is becoming recognized as a sensitive probe of the electron–phonon interaction parameter λ at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here, the theory is developed, linking λ to the thermal attenuation of atom scattering spectra (in particular, the Debye–Waller factor), to conducting materials of different dimensions, from quasi-1D systems such as W(110):H(1 × 1) and Bi(114), to quasi-2D layered chalcogenides, and high-dimensional surfaces such as quasicrystalline 2ML-Ba(0001)/Cu(001) and d-AlNiCo(00001). Values of λ obtained using He atoms compare favorably with known values for the bulk materials. The corresponding analysis indicates in addition, the number of layers contributing to the electron–phonon interaction, which is measured in an atom surface collision.

Structure variation and energy storage properties of acceptor-modified PBLZST antiferroelectric ceramics

Energy storage capacitors with high recoverable energy density and efficiency are greatly desired in pulse power system. In this study, the energy density and efficiency were enhanced in Mn-modified (Pb_0.93Ba_0.04La_0.02)(Zr_0.65Sn_0.3Ti_0.05)O₃ antiferroelectric ceramics via a conventional solid-state reaction process. The improvement was attributed to the change in the antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition electric field (E_F) and the ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric phase transition electric field (E_A) with a small Mn addition. Mn ions as acceptors, which gave rise to the structure variation, significantly influenced the microstructures, dielectric properties and energy storage performance of the antiferroelectric ceramics. A maximum recoverable energy density of 2.64 J/cm³ with an efficiency of 73% was achieved when x = 0.005, which was 40% higher than that (1.84 J/cm³, 68%) of the pure ceramic counterparts. The results demonstrate that the acceptor modification is an effective way to improve the energy storage density and efficiency of antiferroelectric ceramics by inducing a structure variation and the (Pb_0.93Ba_0.04La_0.02)(Zr_0.65Sn_0.3Ti_0.05)O₃-xMn₂O₃ antiferroelectric ceramics are a promising energy storage material with high-power density.     

A new ternary phase in the system CaO–Al2O3–Cr2O3: Crystal structure and thermal expansion of CaAl2Cr2O7

Polycrystalline material of a novel phase in the system CaO–Al₂O₃–Cr₂O₃ has been obtained by solid-state reactions. Chemical analysis indicated the composition CaAl₂Cr₂O₇. Single-crystal growth of the new compound using borax as a mineralizer was successful. Diffraction experiments at ambient conditions on a crystal with composition CaAl_2.13Cr_1.87O₇ yielded the following basic crystallographic data: space group P 3, a = 7.7690(5) Å, c = 7.6463(5) Å, V = 399.68(6) ų, Z = 3. Structure determination and subsequent least-squares refinements resulted in a residual of R(|F|) = 2.3% for 1440 independent observed reflections and 113 parameters. To the best of our knowledge, the structure of CaAl_2.13Cr_1.87O₇ or CaAl₂Cr₂O₇ represents a new structure type. It belongs to the group of double layer structures where individual double layers contain octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated cation positions. Linkage between neighboring sheet packages is provided by additional calcium cations. Furthermore, thermal expansion has been studied in the interval between 29 and 790°C using in situ high-temperature single-crystal diffraction. No indications for a structural phase transition were observed. From the evolution of the lattice parameters the thermal expansion tensor has been obtained. A pronounced anisotropy is evident. The response of structural building units to variable temperature has been discussed.

Impacts of layout,surface condition and alloying elements on diffusion welding of micro process devices

The formation of a monolithic part during diffusion bonding is accompanied by the diffusion of atoms across the bonding planes. At sufficient low roughness, it mainly depends on the temperature and dwell time. At the same time, the diffusion process competes against grain growth. By adjusting an appropriate level of bearing pressure, it is possible to control deformation taking into account additional parameters resulting from mechanical microstructures and the design and aspect ratio of the part. Furthermore, material properties, such as the content of alloying elements, the degree of cold work hardening and the grain size, have an impact on diffusion and deformation behavior. Also the surface condition of mating surfaces is important to diffusion kinetics and the quality of the joint. Especially passivation layers of corrosion‐resistant alloys, such as stainless steels and nickel‐based alloys, impair diffusion. In contrast to this, cold work hardening at low depth below the surface, e. g. by means of a blasting processes, may facilitate formation of a good bond and help to limit grain size. For oxide dispersion‐strengthened materials, additional impacts on diffusion bonding behavior applies.
