采用绝热式自燃测试方法分析煤的自燃倾向

对煤的自燃倾向进行快速有效鉴别,有助于对煤的自燃倾向采取分级分类管理从而有效防治煤矿火灾,因而采用绝热式自燃测试方法对煤的自燃倾向进行准确分析很有必要。简要介绍绝热式自燃测试方法的测试原理及其仪器结构,模拟煤炭自燃的物理过程,通过采用包括反应器、气体预热铜管和跟踪温度控制方式等综合绝热措施以实现300 g煤样的自然发火实验,记录煤样从40℃上升到70℃的升温速率(或前30 h的升温速率),测试煤样的自燃特性曲线并分析曲线特征。即建立煤绝热氧化产热速率计算模型,结合实验数据计算所得的煤在绝热氧化条件下的升温速率和产热速率可鉴定煤自燃倾向性的强弱。采用绝热式自燃测试方法对不同煤的自燃倾向分析后表明,无烟煤和部分烟煤的自燃倾向较低,褐煤的自燃倾向较高,故而在煤矿开采时需特别注意褐煤的自燃倾向。     

换热网络优化中换热单元生成频次的影响分析及策略改进

换热单元的生成频次对换热网络优化有直接的影响，分析其机理可以指导求解算法的改进。本文采用节点非结构模型及强制进化随机游走算法，通过设置不同的换热单元生成概率与生成个数以改变换热单元的生成频次，观察并记录个体在优化过程中产生的年综合费用变化情况。发现不同生成频次下整型变量和连续变量的相对优化频率发生了变化，从而改变了整体优化过程，并且与个体当前优化状态不适应的生成频次会造成相对优化频率不平衡、优化结果较差。基于此，本文提出了一种具有生成参数动态调节策略的换热单元生成方式，在优化过程中根据个体状态实时调整换热单元的生成概率与生成个数，平衡整型变量与连续变量的相对优化频率。最后，采用15SP、10SP和20SP算例进行验证，换热网络的年综合费用较文献结果分别下降了1.06%、0.16%、0.68%，验证了该策略使得换热单元的生成频次更为合理，有效地提高了算法的优化效率。

Wastewater desalination system utilizing a low‐temperature heat pump

A wastewater desalination system based on a low‐temperature air source heat pump was developed and studied in this paper. The system consists of 2 main parts: the wastewater flow process and the heat pump cycle. A series of experiments were conducted on the system under different conditions, and the effect of the evaporation temperature was investigated. This system can reach equilibrium at any evaporation temperature using the combination of the compressor and vacuum pump. To treat wastewater with low boiling point organic matter, the system was operated at a low evaporation temperature of 48°C. The organic matter remained in the concentrated wastewater, and the organic removal was approximately 97%. Three kilograms of treated water was produced in 1 hour with an energy consumption of 250 W. The performance ratio (PR) obtained from the experiments ranged from 4.6 to 7.3. The cost for treating 1 kg of water was 0.038 yuan CNY assuming 0.5 yuan CNY per kWh at the compressor frequency of 50 Hz.

On the volume power density of radial thermoelectric generators

We examine the volume power density of radial thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Radial, or tubular, TEGs have been considered as an alternative to the usual flat-plate TEGs due to its improved geometric match to typical curved heat sources and high surface power density. However, surface power density is not the only important performance index in realistic situations. Especially for TEGs with inorganic materials that have high raw material prices, volume power density can be important as well. In this note, an analytic model of a radial TEG is studied with a numerical trial-and-error approach for investigating its volume power density. At the same time, an alternative, approximate method of estimating the maximum power of the radial TEG is presented. Using these two approaches, we estimate the volume power density of a skutterudite-based radial TEG and compare the results to those of a flat-plate TEG. The volume power density of the radial TEG is significantly lower than that of the flat-plate TEG. For example, our calculation for a representative case with free convection on the cold side shows that the volume power density of the radial TEG will be 107 W/m³ at best. The result improves with forced convection, and our calculation for a representative case with forced convection on the cold side exhibits the maximum volume power density of 24 100 W/m³ . All these values turn out to be smaller roughly by one order of magnitude than the maximum volume power densities of comparable flat-plate TEGs. Such a low volume power density indicates lower economic feasibility of the radial TEG with expensive inorganic thermoelectric materials. This is also explicitly discussed by presenting the high cost per watt of the radial TEG. It is therefore suggested that radial TEGs with less expensive organic materials may be more acceptable than those with inorganic ones.     

Effect of storage options on price-based scheduling for a hybrid trigeneration system

Trigeneration is efficient to supply cooling, heat, and power demands. Also, hydro (pumped) storage with zero fuel costs can increase profit when price-based scheduling problem is solved. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of electric boiler, hydro storage, and heat storage tank on price-based scheduling problem for hybrid trigeneration (trigeneration-conventional-gas boiler) system. A heuristic algorithm is applied to a power system where in validation case, total cost reduction of 0.63% to 0.91% is reached as compared with reported in literature. The results show that the utilization of electric boiler, hydro storage, and heat storage tank leads to profit improvement by 4.58%. Also, a critical sensitivity analysis is conducted and the results show the significant effects of several factors on scheduling results.     

Underground energy storage utilizing concrete building foundation: Experimental and numerical approach

Space heating and cooling represent 63% of total building energy demand. In the present study, the concept of concrete foundation piles was used as an underground storage medium. This system requires no additional drilling costs or space, unlike conventional boreholes. A laboratory-scaled experiment facility was designed to experimentally investigate the thermal response of a concrete pile during the charging and discharging processes. The amount of energy stored and released during each process was evaluated. A flow rate parametric study was also conducted to explore the effect of the laminar and turbulent flow behavior. In order to complement the experimental study, an extensive CFD model was developed and compared with the experimental data. There was good agreement between the numerical and experimental results for each process at different flow rates. The results revealed that increasing the flow rate increases not only the heat rejection and extraction but also the storage efficiency.

A novel methodology for evaluating wear behavior of rubber composites under combination of sliding and rolling conditions

The wear behavior of tire tread rubber composites has attracted widespread attention of researcher duo to its serious environmental pollution and high frequency of occurrence for a long time. Herein, a new test method is developed, an improved Akron friction testing machine on a laboratory scale was utilized to estimate the wear loss and mechanism of the rubber composites under rolling and sliding coupling condition. The results indicated that the wear loss quickly increases with the increase of the relative sliding velocity. The main wear mechanism, including adhesive, thermofatigue, tear and curl wear, was governed by the thermal deposition of the worn surface. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed thermal decomposition tear region gradually expanded on the worn surface by increasing relative sliding velocity. The heat distribution numerical analysis supported the experimental results, which confirmed that the heat distribution of the worn surface is entirely consistent with the distribution of the thermal decomposition tear region.
