The thermodynamic characteristics of a Stirling/pulse tube hybrid cryocooler

A Stirling/pulse tube hybrid cryocooler (SPC), comprised of a Stirling cryocooler as the first stage and a pulse tube cryocooler as the second stage, features the ability of shifting cooling capacity between stages by adjusting the movement of the displacer in the first stage. Such an ability allows an SPC to accommodate itself to time-varying heat loads at different temperatures, which makes it a competitive candidate in space applications. However, due to the gas coupling, there exists a significant mutual effect between stages which endows an SPC with special thermodynamic characteristics and has a significant effect on the SPC’s capability of shifting cooling capacity between stages. With the phasor analysis and the thermodynamic analysis, this paper establishes an idealized model of an SPC. The model is then used to study the effect of the second stage on the first stage and reveal the condition that an SPC is able to shift cooling capacity between stages. Also, the model is compared with a Sage numerical model and the two models are consistent on the overall trend. Though it is unable to reflect reality precisely, the idealized model can interpret the mechanism and highlight some of the essential nature of an SPC, which will eventually benefit the appropriate design of an SPC.     

浮法玻璃熔窑火焰空间石油焦部分替代重油燃烧的数值模拟

针对浮法玻璃熔窑火焰空间建立模型并进行了数值模拟，在保证热值相同的前提下，对比研究了重油燃烧及将石油焦部分替代重油燃烧时的流场分布特征。结果表明，石油焦部分代替重油燃烧后，两种燃料可很好地混合燃烧，窑炉内温度制度基本不受影响；石油焦着火时间比重油长，两种燃料混合燃烧时平均着火点滞后于仅使用重油时，且燃烧路径更长，燃烧时产生了大量CO，整个火焰空间及烟气出口处NOx的平均排放量与仅使用重油相比降低了30.02%，NOx减排效果明显。     

近距离煤层群采空区漏风规律及防控措施研究

贵州地区煤层赋存条件复杂,煤层间距小,相邻采空区存在漏风通道的问题。采用SF6示踪法及重点区域指标气体数据分析法,对发耳煤矿采空区漏风规律及其治理措施进行研究。分析结果表明,由于相邻密闭效果欠佳,导致31004开切眼联络巷及31004工作面回风巷密闭漏风严重。31004采空区漏风通道主要是31004开切眼联络巷密闭及10^#煤层开采过程中对上部7^#煤层采空区造成二次扰动形成的纵向漏风通道;漏风量为83 m^3/min,采空区风速约为0.17 m/s。对存在的煤自燃隐患采取了注水降温措施,CO体积分数显著下降至(5~9)×10^-6。为即将开采的50105、50107工作面的煤自燃防控提供了科学依据和管控措施方案。     

两池火耦合作用下柴油拱顶罐热响应的数值模拟

化工园区多池火事故是典型的高后果低概率事件。鉴于目前两池火辐射模型存在一定局限性，本文采用数值模拟方法，以3个直线排布的5000m³柴油拱顶罐为研究场景，从热释放速率、火焰形态、热辐射强度三方面分析两池火燃烧特性，并与单池火场景对比，考虑储罐间距这一影响因素，进一步研究目标储罐热响应。结果表明：采用GB 50160—2008（2018年版）规定的防火间距，两燃烧罐产生的池火会发生耦合作用，并得出目标储罐受到的热辐射强度分布，最高热辐射达17.04kW/m²；两池火作用下目标储罐的温度、Mises应力与失效时间分别为644℃、356MPa、936s，单池火为488℃、280MPa、2880s，目标储罐在两池火作用下的变形也比单池火更为严重；随着储罐间距增加，目标储罐的温度与Mises应力逐渐减小，失效时间逐渐增加，当储罐间距为标准防火间距的2.5倍（20m）时，失效时间为2800s，与单池火作用产生的失效时间2880s较为接近。本研究可为优化储罐防火间距及区域韧性提升提供理论指导。     

Thermal management and catalytic combustion stability characteristics of premixed methane/air in heat recirculation meso‐combustors

In order to illuminate heat recirculation effect on catalytic combustion stability and further improve energy conversion efficiency in meso‐combustor, the catalytic combustion characteristics of the combustor with/without preheating channels are numerically studied at steady conditions. It is found that methane conversion rate and combustion efficiency increases by 2% to 3% and approximately 9% in the heat recirculation meso‐combustor, indicating that heat recirculation effect facilitates more complete combustion of methane and medium components. Preheating channels show positive effects on improving combustion stability in the heat recirculation meso‐combustor. On one hand, preheating channels facilitate heat recirculation effect, and heat recirculation rate exceeds 10% for all cases and reaches 31.8% with an inlet velocity of 0.5 m/s, leading to significant increment of methane‐specific enthalpy at the preheating channel outlet. On the other hand, Rh(s)/O(s) ratios of catalytic surface and catalytic surface temperature in main reaction zone are enlarged by the preheating channels, facilitating methane adsorption at catalytic surface. Specially, most of fuels are consumed in a shorter distance with higher methane conversion speed, which brings benefits to promote combustion efficiency and may be helpful to inhibit the combustion instability in heat recirculation meso‐combustors.     

Study on migration characteristics of heavy metals during oil sludge incineration

Experimental and simulation studies on the migration characteristics of heavy metals during the incineration of OS were conducted with a tube furnace reactor and thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software FactSage, respectively. The results showed that when the incineration temperature increased from 800°C to 1100°C, the release rates of heavy metals such as Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Ni increased gradually and reached the maximum at 1000°C. When the excess air ratio increased from 1.0 to 1.4, the release rates of heavy metals such as Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Ni first decreased and then became steady. The content of gaseous hydroxide of Cr and gaseous chlorides of Pb and Cu increased while the chemical forms of Zn and Ni did not change obviously with the increase of combustion temperature or excess air ratio.     

Catalytic combustion of methane over a highly active and stable NiO/CeO2 catalyst

In the last decades, many reports dealing with technology for the catalytic combustion of methane (CH₄) have been published. Recently, attention has increasingly focused on the synthesis and catalytic activity of nickel oxides. In this paper, a NiO/CeO₂ catalyst with high catalytic performance in methane combustion was synthesized via a facile impregnation method, and its catalytic activity, stability, and water-resistance during CH₄ combustion were investigated. X-ray diffraction, low-temperature N₂ adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction, methane temperature programmed surface reaction, Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and transmission electron microscope characterization of the catalyst were conducted to determine the origin of its high catalytic activity and stability in detail. The incorporation of NiO was found to enhance the concentration of oxygen vacancies, as well as the activity and amount of surface oxygen. As a result, the mobility of bulk oxygen in CeO₂ was increased. The presence of CeO₂ prevented the aggregation of NiO, enhanced reduction by NiO, and provided more oxygen species for the combustion of CH₄. The results of a kinetics study indicated that the reaction order was about 1.07 for CH₄ and about 0.10 for O₂ over the NiO/CeO₂ catalyst.

基于弥散燃料颗粒开裂的金属基体裂纹特征模型

金属基弥散燃料元件在特殊工况下会发生表面起泡失效。燃料颗粒开裂是金属基体开裂的前提条件，只有当金属基体开裂后元件才会发生表面起泡。燃料颗粒开裂后，裂纹宽度和塑性区长度等裂纹特征决定了金属基体开裂行为。基于弹塑性断裂力学和应力平衡条件，建立了基于弥散燃料颗粒开裂的金属基体裂纹特征模型。计算结果表明：裂纹张开位移随退火温度和燃耗深度的升高而增加；裂纹尖端塑性区长度主要与退火温度相关。裂纹张开位移和塑性区长度的计算结果与实验数据均符合较好，验证了金属基体裂纹特征模型的有效性。
