Flow field simulation and pressure drop modeling by a porous medium in PEM fuel cells

For proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, the distribution of reactant flow in the stack is critical to the fuel cell's efficiency. The uneven distribution of reactant flow in the stack may cause poor current density, low performance, and material degradation. To understand and accurately predict the flow field in the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell system, the present study aims to develop a simple correlation to analyze the pressure drop in fuel cell stacks. The flow channel in each cell of a stack is treated as a porous medium, and a power-law model is used to approximate the porous medium momentum source term. For the stacks with fewer cell numbers, namely, 1, 5, and 10 cells, the parameters in the power law are established based on the experimental data. Then, a correlation is developed to simulate the flow and predict the pressure drop in the stack with higher cell numbers (ie, 20 and 40 cells). The simulations show that the pressure drop in each cell of a stack is almost invariable, and the average pressure drop decreases with increasing the number of cells. The flow uniformity in the stacks with different cell numbers is evaluated using the dimensionless pressure drop and the pressure drop ratios. It suggests that the lower the cell number, the more uniform the pressure drop. The developed model is conducive to efficiently designing the flow channel for a fuel cell stack with large cell numbers.     

Distribution performance of gas-liquid mixture in the shell side of spiral-wound heat exchangers

The non-uniformity of gas-liquid mixture is a critical issue which leads to the heat transfer deterioration of spiralwound heat exchangers (SWHEs). Two-phase mass flow rate and the content of gas are important parameters as well as structural parameters which have prominent influences on flow distribution uniformity of SWHE shell side. In order to investigate the influences of these parameters, an experimental test system was built using water and air as mediums and a novel distributor named "tubes distributor" was designed. The effects of mass flow rate and the content of gas on two-phase distribution performance were analyzed, where the mass flow rate ranged from 28.4 to 171.9 kg·h^-1 and the content of gas changed from 0.2 to 0.8, respectively. The results showed that the mixture mass flow rate considerably influenced the liquid distribution than that of gas phase and the larger mass flow rate exhibited the better distribution uniformity of two-phase flow. It was also found that the tubes distributor had the better two-phase uniformity when the content of gas was around 0.4. Tube diameter played an important role in the distribution of gas phase and slit width was more significant for the uniformity of liquid phase.

催化裂化管式待生剂分配器颗粒分配特性及内部流动特性的CPFD模拟

基于CPFD(Computational particle fluid dynamics)方法，对实验室前期研究的催化裂化管式分配器内的颗粒分配特性及内部流动特性进行了数值模拟，系统研究了输送风、松动风及分配器倾斜角度对颗粒分配不均匀指数的影响，并进一步考察了输送风和松动风对分配器各出口气体流量分布及内部气 固流动特性的影响。结果表明，增大输送风量、松动风量以及分配器的倾斜角度均可以降低颗粒分配不均匀指数，但改变松动风量的效果不如改变输送风量和倾斜角度显著。分配器倾斜角存在一个最优值时，颗粒分配均匀性最佳。输送风的增大会使得颗粒出料量最高的排料口的位置逐渐向分配器的末端移动，中间排料口所流出的气体流量占比增大，末端排料口排风量占比减小。引入松动风后，各出口的颗粒排料量更加接近，同时靠近末端排料口的气体流量占比明显增大。     

In-line characterization of dispersion uniformity evolution during a twin-screw blending extrusion based on near-infrared spectroscopy

Properties of an immiscible polymer blend have been proved to be closely related to dispersion uniformity of the minor phase. At present, dispersion uniformity is difficult to evaluate during the blending process, resulting in hysteretic feedback. Aiming at this problem, this work utilized near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to in-line characterize dispersion uniformity evolution during a twin-screw extrusion. A multichannel NIR measurement system was set up and applied to evaluate the blending process of polypropylene and polyolefin elastomer (POE). Based on the NIR spectra collected at different positions of the extruder, five prediction models of POE content were established using the light gradient boosting machine algorithm. Dispersion uniformity was characterized through the fluctuation of the predicted content. The evolution of dispersion under such processing parameters was consistent with scanning electron microscopy.

以高速摄影技术作为主要研究手段，研究钢轨交流闪光焊接过程过梁爆破特征，并结合热成像系统采集焊接过程温度场，以此为数据基础定量分析了钢轨交流闪光焊接过梁爆破特征. 结果表明,钢轨交流脉动闪光焊接工艺模式下，加速闪光阶段具有几个阶段中最高的闪光频次46.93次/s，脉动闪光阶段具有最低的闪光频次11.07次/s；连续闪光阶段闪光烈度为0.009 2 mm/次，是几个阶段中最强的，脉动阶段的闪光烈度最弱，为0.003 8 mm/次；从闪光加热因子来看，脉动阶段最高，符合了该阶段积累热量的主要目的；加速闪光阶段最低，是由于该阶段为了制造保护气氛产生的气化过梁带走了较多的热量；从闪光均匀度看，闪光最不均匀的阶段是闪平阶段，最均匀的阶段是脉动阶段，这恰恰说明了两待焊端面的微观平行情况在闪平阶段最差、脉动阶段最佳.
