Sodium Fire Code SFIRE1C for Pool Fire Characteristics

Sodium pool fire code, SOFIRE II, written for the constant value of stoichiometric combustion ratio and heat of reaction is used to compute the buildup of pressure and temperature in a containment. In the SOFIRE II model, for the formation of a mixture of Na₂O and Na₂O₂ in the sodium pool, the input stoichiometric combustion ratio and heat of formation values need to be varied to corresponding values admissible for the mixture. In the present work, the SOFIRE II one-cell model is revised and the present version SFIRE1C (Sodium FIRE 1 Cell model) accounts for the formation of Na₂O in an early stage of the fire and shifts to the formation of Na₂O₂ at a later stage. Thus SFIRE1C computes in a more realistic manner the reaction products which are formed in the pool. The model for sodium oxide aerosol release is also modified in this version, by incorporating a more appropriate aerosol release rate equation. The calculated values using the SFIRE1C one-cell model are compared with sodium pool fire experimental results.

高速激光热丝钎焊表面成形质量的控制

高速激光钎焊会引起熔池流动紊乱导致焊缝成形质量恶化,从而限制了其在汽车制造领域的应用。通过正交试验研究了高速下激光功率、送丝角度等工艺参数对焊缝成形质量的影响,发现焊缝成形质量随激光功率增加和送丝角度减小而提升。激光功率是通过影响熔池获得的热输入,从而影响熔池表面扰动的铺展来影响焊缝成形质量的。送丝角度是通过影响焊丝送入熔池的位置,从而影响焊丝对熔池的扰动强度和扰动的铺展速度来影响焊缝成形质量的。采用正交试验获得的最优工艺参数组合进行试验,获得了表面光滑平整无缺陷的高质量焊缝,为激光钎焊在高速下的应用发展奠定了基础。     

面向内涝防治的地下调蓄池容量设计

针对日趋严峻的城市内涝问题,为了在海绵城市系统建设过程中提高地下调蓄设施的有效性和合理性,总结归纳了一种面向内涝防治的调蓄池布设方法。根据萍乡市西门内涝区现状积水情况及成因,在考虑其他海绵设施调蓄能力的基础上,借助水文水动力学模型(MIKE FLOOD)筛选出需要布设地下调蓄池的易涝区。根据调蓄池容量推理公式法,以水力高差为变量制定初步调蓄方案,通过模型计算易涝区积水情况确定调蓄规模预估范围。根据预估结果和模型试算法比选以脱过系数为控制因子制定的调蓄方案,以最大积水深不超过40 cm和交通影响时间不超过30 min为判断指标最终确定各易涝区的最优调蓄容量。结果表明,通过推理公式和水文水动力学模型相结合的方法可以较为准确、快捷地确定调蓄池容量,结合调蓄规模、选址地点和布设范围计算的池深也在水力高差估算范围内,进一步证明了调蓄池设计容量的合理性和可行性。研究成果可为城市洪涝管理和调蓄设施布局提供决策参考。

Numerical simulation of full penetration laser welding of thick steel plate with high power high brightness laser

Full penetration laser welding was carried out on a 10 mm steel plate using a 16 kW maximum power continuous wave thin disk laser. Upper surface and lower surface of molten pool were observed synchronously with two high speed CCD cameras during the welding process. The lower surface was much longer and more unstable than the upper one. A three dimensional laser deep penetration welding model in which volume of fluid (VOF) method was combined with a ray-tracing algorithm was used to simulate the dynamic coupling between keyhole and molten pool in laser full penetration welding. The calculated weld cross-section morphology and molten pool length on both upper side and lower side agree well with experimental results. Evolution of molten pool in lower side during full penetration laser welding was analyzed, periodical features of energy coupling, molten pool behavior and keyhole dynamics in laser full penetration welding were identified and discussed.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of a laser welded low carbon–stainless steel joint

This article reports on an experimental investigation to understand and subsequently control the alloying composition in laser welding of austenitic stainless steel and low carbon steel. An energy dispersive spectrometer was used to analyse the alloying composition, while microscopy and tensile tests were used to study the microstructure, and mechanical performance of the welded joint respectively. The investigation revealed that above a certain specific point energy the material within the melt pool is well mixed and the laser beam position can be used to control the mechanical properties of the joint. This finding was confirmed using a numerical model based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of melt pool dynamics. Strategies to control the composition leading to dramatic changes in hardness, microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar laser welded joint are discussed.     

Effect of molten pool boundaries on the mechanical properties of selective laser melting parts

Selective laser melting (SLM) manufactures components through the overlapping of multi-track and multi-layer molten pools of metal powders, resulting in two types of molten pool boundaries (MPBs), “layer–layer” and “track–track” MPBs, remaining in SLM parts. The microstructure of MPBs exhibits a complex and regular spatial topological structure. There is a coarse grain zone below the MPBs and nonmetallic elements (C, O, Si) near the MPBs are in an unstable state. Long and thin columnar grains with the same orientations distribute on two sides of the “layer–layer” MPBs, whereas the columnar grains on both sides of “track–track” MPBs have different orientations. The “track–track” MPBs are short and intersect with “layer–layer” MPBs at some points and form acute angles, where cracks are initiated when applied with external loads. The effect of the MPBs on microscopic slipping, macroscopic ductility and fracture mechanism of the SLM parts made along different directions, which were exerted a tensile loading in the as-built condition without heat treatment, was analyzed and evaluated using slip theory and experiments. The results reveal that the MPBs have a significant impact on the microscopic slipping at the loading, macroscopic plastic behavior and fracture mode, and are one of the main reasons for the obvious anisotropy and low ductility of SLM parts.     

Dynamic real‐time monitoring of chloroform in an indoor swimming pool air using open‐path Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

This study used open‐path Fourier transform infrared (OP‐FTIR) spectroscopy to continuously assess the variation in chloroform concentrations in the air of an indoor swimming pool. Variables affecting the concentrations of chloroform in air were also monitored. The results showed that chloroform concentrations in air varied significantly during the time of operation of the swimming pool and that there were two peaks in chloroform concentration during the time of operation of the pool. The highest concentration was at 17:30, which is coincident with the time with the highest number of swimmers in the pool in a day. The swimmer load was one of the most important factors influencing the chloroform concentration in the air. When the number of swimmers surpassed 40, the concentrations of chloroform were on average 4.4 times higher than the concentration measured without swimmers in the pool. According to the results of this study, we suggest that those who swim regularly should avoid times with highest number of swimmers, in order to decrease the risk of exposure to high concentrations of chloroform. It is also recommended that an automatic mechanical ventilation system is installed to increase the ventilation rate during times of high swimmer load.
