Effect of gas properties on the onset of flooding in small diameter inclined tubes

This work concerns the effect of gas phase properties on incipient flooding in counter-current gas–liquid two-phase flow in small diameter inclined tubes (D < 10 mm). The aim is to propose generalized correlations that can be used to predict incipient flooding in small diameter tubes. Experiments were performed in a 7 mm glass tube and at two inclination angles, i.e. 30 and 60° from the horizontal, using water as liquid phase and atmospheric air, He and CO₂ as gas phase. Previously proposed correlations for flooding prediction ( Pantzali et al., 2008) were suitably adjusted to incorporate the effect of gas phase properties. It has been proved that the flooding curves calculated using the proposed correlations are in good agreement with both the results of the present study and relevant literature data.     

Adsorption‐concentration polarization model for ultrafiltration in mixed matrix membrane

Adsorption has been found to be significant in ultrafiltration by mixed matrix membrane. Removal of very low molecular weight solutes compared to the molecular weight cut off of the membrane is facilitated by adsorption. The modeling of the adsorption coupled with concentration polarization is presented based on the mathematical approach developed by Gekas et al. (Gekas et al. Chem Eng Sci. 1993;48:2753–2765), from the first principles. However, extensive modifications were included in theoretical development including those suggested by Ruiz‐Bevia et al. (Ruiz‐Bevia et al. Chem Eng Sci. 1997;52:2343–2352). The developed model captured the rejection dynamics with the help of retention factor. The model equations were solved under the framework of boundary layer analysis, using the integral approach. Effects of the adsorption isotherm and the different parameters affecting the system performance were also investigated. Further, experimental validation of the model results with two different mixed matrix ultrafiltration studies was also elucidated. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 2354–2364, 2014     

模拟古代铸铁在典型碱液中的电化学行为

通过动电位极化曲线法,在几种含不同氯离子浓度的典型碱性水溶液中研究了模拟古代灰口铸铁、白口铸铁的电化学行为。结果表明,在不同碱性溶液中同种铸铁试样对氯离子浓度的钝化/活化敏感性不同;不同材质的铸铁试样在相同溶液中对氯离子的敏感性也不相同。并且,对于同种溶质的碱性溶液,铸铁对氯离子的敏感性则随着溶液的pH值增加而降低。这一结果将为铁质文物脱盐除氯的终点判定提供重要的依据。

外加压应力对Ti-35421合金钝化膜损伤修复影响的原位电化学研究

以Ti-35421(Ti-3Al-5Mo-4Cr-2Zr-1Fe)合金为研究对象,采用自制的钝化膜损伤修复原位电化学测试装置研究了模拟深海静水压力对Ti-35421合金经过Al₂O₃陶瓷刀划伤后钝化膜破裂损伤和自修复的原位电化学行为。Ti-35421合金在3.5%NaCl溶液中的钝化平台为-0.27～0.01 V。在-0.13 V钝化电压条件下极化并进行划痕实验,无压应力作用时破损钝化膜发生快速修复。压应力增大导致原子间结合力降低,金属溶解速度增加,再钝化减缓,在原位电化学上表现为电流上升,电流回复时间增长,自修复能力减弱。再钝化过程中的暂态阶段钝化膜生长符合线性高场模型。观察划痕形貌发现压应力下划痕槽中出现微裂纹,说明较高压应力损伤作用下在划痕槽近表面产生应力集中,对合金产生的伤害部分不可修复。钝化膜破损加剧和自修复能力减弱是残余应力与环境腐蚀共同作用的结果。     

过期药呋塞米在醋酸溶液中对冷轧钢的缓蚀作用

通过电导率测量、pH测量、同步热分析(STA)、Tafel极化曲线法和电化学交流阻抗谱法研究了不同浓度和温度下过期药呋塞米在1 mol/L的醋酸溶液中对冷轧钢缓蚀作用。实验结果表明:过期药呋塞米在1 mol/L的醋酸溶液中对冷轧钢有较好的缓蚀效果,且缓蚀率随着缓蚀剂浓度和温度的增加而增大。该缓蚀剂在醋酸中对钢是一种抑制阴极和阳极的混合型缓蚀剂。缓蚀剂在冷轧钢表面的吸附符合Langmuir吸附等温式,其吸附是自发、物理吸附过程。同步热分析还说明了该缓蚀剂易稳定吸附在冷轧钢表面。     

圆钢管钢纤维活性粉末混凝土短柱轴压性能试验研究

为研究圆钢管钢纤维活性粉末混凝土（RPC）短柱的轴压性能,完成了7根外径219~273mm的圆钢管钢纤维RPC短柱轴压性能试验,分析了套箍系数、径厚比对轴压试件荷载-应变曲线和破坏特征的影响。结果表明：套箍系数ξ在0.63~0.88时,荷载-位移曲线在峰值荷载后出现下降段,短柱呈现剪切破坏模式;当ξ≥1时,在到达峰值荷载后,荷载下降幅度明显减小或出现回升趋势,短柱呈现腰鼓形破坏模式。在达到峰值荷载的85%之前,试件处于弹性阶段,钢管纵向应变大于横向应变;弹塑性阶段,钢管横向应变增加较快,其横向变形系数超过钢管的泊松比并逐渐增大,钢管对RPC的约束作用不断增强。随着混凝土抗压强度提高,其横向变形系数减小,钢管对核心区RPC约束效果降低。

Performance-based seismic fragility analysis of retaining walls based on the probability density evolution method

Seismic fragility analysis is an efficient way to study the seismic behaviour and performance of structures under the excitation of earthquakes of varying intensity, and an essential part of the seismic risk assessment of structures. A recently developed dynamic reliability methodology, the probability density evolution method (PDEM), is proposed for the dynamic reliability and seismic fragility analysis of a retaining wall. The PDEM can obtain an instantaneous probability density function of the seismic responses and easily acquire the seismic reliability of the structural system. An important advantage of the PDEM is its high efficiency relative to that of the Monte Carlo simulation method, which is often used in the reliability and fragility analysis of structures. The present study uses a typical gravity retaining wall to illustrate stochastic seismic responses and fragility curves that can be obtained by the PDEM. The combined uncertainties of the seismic force and soil properties are explicitly and systematically modelled by stochastic ground motions and random variables respectively. The performance of the retaining wall is analysed for different acceptable levels of backfill settlement. Additionally, seismic fragility curves are constructed without assuming the distribution of the seismic response.
