球磨过程中介质群运动区域划分方法研究

球磨过程中介质群运动状态变化对物料的破碎效率影响极大，通过对介质群运动状态进行区域划分，探究不同球磨工况下的介质群运动区域特征更能有效揭示介质群对物料的破碎方式和有效破碎区域。针对理论划分介质群运动区域过于理想、单一，试验追踪法成本过高的问题，提出了一种介质群运动区域划分的新方法-EDEM网格划分法。首先把筒体的横截面划分为若干个微元，利用数理统计的方法得到介质群位置概率分布函数，获取介质群运动速度区域分布图和碰撞特性区域分布图。然后给出了回转运动、螺旋运动及复合颤振运动三种工况下介质群运动区域的划分实例，并与试验追踪法对比，验证了EDEM网格划分法的准确性和有效性。最后通过粉磨试验中进料的破碎速率和微细颗粒产率探讨了介质群运动区域特性对颗粒的破碎方式和有效破碎区域的影响效果。本研究为优化球磨过程的影响因素和操作参数提供了一种快捷、有效的方法。     

A review on the features and technologies for energy efficiency of smart grid

In today's world striving for efficiency in every sector, especially power generation and distribution, smart grids emerge as the solution for efficiently meeting the increasing demand. They adjust themselves to optimally deliver energy at the lowest cost and highest quality possible. The grid successfully makes use of renewable energy resources, electric vehicles, and smart pricing techniques in its attempt to achieve energy efficiency. It also promotes a greener environment by striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Information communication technology (ICT) helps the grid in collecting consumption data from the consumers and in sharing tariff information. ICT also helps to gather information about the status of the grid with regard to aspects like power quality, faults etc. The purpose of this paper is to review recent literature with a view to comprehensively present the technologies employed in the smart grid for achieving energy efficiency and the challenges involved therein.

An overview on fault diagnosis and nature-inspired optimal control of industrial process applications

Fault detection, isolation and optimal control have long been applied to industry. These techniques have proven various successful theoretical results and industrial applications. Fault diagnosis is considered as the merge of fault detection (that indicates if there is a fault) and fault isolation (that determines where the fault is), and it has important effects on the operation of complex dynamical systems specific to modern industry applications such as industrial electronics, business management systems, energy, and public sectors. Since the resources are always limited in real-world industrial applications, the solutions to optimally use them under various constraints are of high actuality. In this context, the optimal tuning of linear and nonlinear controllers is a systematic way to meet the performance specifications expressed as optimization problems that target the minimization of integral- or sum-type objective functions, where the tuning parameters of the controllers are the vector variables of the objective functions. The nature-inspired optimization algorithms give efficient solutions to such optimization problems. This paper presents an overview on recent developments in machine learning, data mining and evolving soft computing techniques for fault diagnosis and on nature-inspired optimal control. The generic theory is discussed along with illustrative industrial process applications that include a real liquid level control application, wind turbines and a nonlinear servo system. New research challenges with strong industrial impact are highlighted.

CFD analysis on subcooled boiling phenomena in PWR coolant channel

Eulerian two-fluid model coupled with wall boiling model was employed to calculate the three dimensional flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a hot channel with vaned spacer grid in PWR. The heat transfer from pellet-gap-cladding to coolant was also taken into account by a system coupled code MpCCI. The wall boiling model utilized in this study was validated by Bartolomei experiment data, and a good agreement can be observed. By solving the governing equation in a two-way coupled method, the distribution of temperature in the pellet-gap-cladding region and the distribution of temperature, void fraction and velocity of two-phase flow in coolant channel can be obtained. The influences of spacer grid and mixing vane on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics were analyzed. The heat transfer capacity was strongly improved by the spacer grid and mixing vane, while the flow resistance was also enlarged. Localized volume fraction of vapor phase decreased due to mixing vane, which will decrease the possibility of the departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and increase the critical heat flux (CHF). By analyzing the temperature and void fraction at cladding outer surface, the critical regions where hot spot may occur were determined.     

More than bin packing: Dynamic resource allocation strategies in cloud data centers

Resource allocation strategies in virtualized data centers have received considerable attention recently as they can have substantial impact on the energy efficiency of a data center. This led to new decision and control strategies with significant managerial impact for IT service providers. We focus on dynamic environments where virtual machines need to be allocated and deallocated to servers over time. Simple bin packing heuristics have been analyzed and used to place virtual machines upon arrival. However, these placement heuristics can lead to suboptimal server utilization, because they cannot consider virtual machines, which arrive in the future. We ran extensive lab experiments and simulations with different controllers and different workloads to understand which control strategies achieve high levels of energy efficiency in different workload environments. We found that combinations of placement controllers and periodic reallocations achieve the highest energy efficiency subject to predefined service levels. While the type of placement heuristic had little impact on the average server demand, the type of virtual machine resource demand estimator used for the placement decisions had a significant impact on the overall energy efficiency.     

Dynamic steering of HPC scientific workflows: A survey

The field of scientific workflow management systems has grown significantly as applications start using them successfully. In 2007, several active researchers in scientific workflow developments presented the challenges for the state of the art in workflow technologies at that time. Many issues have been addressed, but one of them named ‘dynamic workflows and user steering’ remains with many open problems despite the contributions presented in the recent years. This article surveys the early and current efforts in this topic and proposes a taxonomy to identify the main concepts related to addressing issues in dynamic steering of high performance computing (HPC) in scientific workflows. The main concepts are related to putting the human-in-the-loop of the workflow lifecycle, involving user support in real-time monitoring, notification, analysis and interference by adapting the workflow execution at runtime.     

Boosting gLite with cloud augmented volunteer computing

The paper details the result of the EU FP7 EDGI project focusing on the cloud developments and usability improvements. Volunteer desktop grids, like BOINC, are designed to handle millions of parameter sweep type jobs and millions of desktop machines as worker nodes. Seamless transfer of gLite jobs to desktop grids was already implemented by EDGI; however this huge number of DG resources could not be utilized efficiently due to slow completion time caused by unpredictable behavior of the volunteer resources. The paper details how clouds have been utilized to shorten completion time on the EDGeS@home volunteer desktop grid to boost the performance of the supported gLite VO and also details how this service can be exploited by the gLite user communities of EGI (European Grid Initiative) all over Europe.
