Tropfenbewegung und Stofftransport in technischen Flüssig/flüssig-Systemen. Teil 2: Auswirkung von Grenzflächeneffekten und Verunreinigungen

The design of a liquid/liquid contact apparatus necessitates the knowledge of fluid dynamics and mass transfer in the dispersion. Prediction of process parameters is challenging due to swarm and interfacial effects. Single drop investigations are suitable to enable a sophisticated dimensioning based on few simple experiments combined with published theories and correlations. In the first part of this article, the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and mass transfer in absence of interfacial effects were explained. Here, an overview of relevant interfacial phenomena and the influence of different substances typically occurring in technical applications as impurities or accompanying components is given.     

Fluid sloshing thermo-mechanical characteristic in a cryogenic fuel storage tank under different gravity acceleration levels

Fluid sloshing usually causes serious safety issues on the dynamic stability and propellant thermal management during the powered-flight phase of launch vehicle. With the wide using of cryogenic propellants, the coupled thermo-mechanical performance during fluid sloshing becomes more prominent. In the present study, one numerical model is established to simulate fluid sloshing by using the VOF method coupled with the mesh motion treatment. The phase change occurring within the tank is considered. Both the experimental validation and mesh sensitivity analysis are made. It shows that present numerical model is acceptable. Based on the developed numerical model, the effect of different super gravity accelerations on fluid sloshing hydrodynamic characteristic is numerically researched. The fluid pressure variation, the sloshing force and sloshing moment, the interface dynamic response and the interface shape variation are investigated, respectively. It shows that the gravity acceleration has caused obvious influences on fluid sloshing characteristic. When the gravity acceleration is higher than 4g₀, fluid sloshing becomes more obvious and must be paid enough attention. With some valuable conclusions obtained, the present work is of great significance for in-depth understanding of fluid sloshing mechanism.     

An analytical model for gas leakage through contact interface in proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Sealing performance between two contacting surfaces is of significant importance to stable operation of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. In this work, an analytical micro-scale approach is first established to predict the gas leakage in fuel cells. Gas pressure and uneven pressure distribution at the interface are also included in the model. At first, the micro tortuous leakage path at the interface is constructed by introducing contact modelling and fractal porous structure theory. In order to obtain the leakage at the entire surface, contact pressure distribution is predicted based on bonded elastic layer model. The gas leakage through the discontinuous interface can be obtained with consideration of convection and diffusion. Then, experiments are conducted to validate the numerical model, and good agreement is obtained between them. Finally, influences of surface topology, gasket compression and gasket width on leakage are studied based on the model. The results show that gas leakage would be greatly amplified when the asperity standard deviation of surface roughness exceeds 1.0 μm. Gaskets with larger width and smaller thickness are beneficial to sealing performance. The model is helpful to understand the gas leakage behavior at the interface and guide the gasket design of fuel cells.     

Crushing behavior of alumina inclusions with different porosity during hot compression

Alumina inclusions in commercial as-cast 2.25Cr1Mo0.25V aluminum deoxidized steel exhibited a feature of porous structure. In order to investigate the crushing characteristics of alumina inclusion during hot working, a series of alumina blocks with different porosity whose properties are similar to the alumina inclusions in ingots were prepared using spark plasma sintering. The crushing behavior of alumina blocks during hot compression with quasi-static load was studied. A prediction model of compressive strength of alumina inclusions considering apparent porosity was established on basis of hyperbolic sine Arrhenius equation. A novel crushing mode diagram for alumina inclusions characterized by Z parameter was proposed. The crushing mechanism of alumina inclusions under different deformation parameters was clarified by fracture characteristics. The results showed that the hot compression process of alumina presented a typical brittle fracture, the compressive strength was more sensitive to deformation conditions at lower apparent porosity as compared with the conditions of higher apparent porosity. With the increase of Z, the crushing mode of alumina inclusions gradually changed from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture.

镁对非调质钢中组织及硫化物的影响

摘要：为了探究不同镁含量对非调质钢中组织和硫化物形态、尺寸、分布及成分的影响，采用蔡司金相显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、小样电解等方法，分析了经高温电阻炉冶炼不同镁添加量的49MnVS3非调质钢。结果表明，由于镁蒸气压较高，在实验室冶炼中大量挥发，导致钢中镁的实际平均收得率仅为310%；镁的质量分数为0～22×10-6时，随着镁的质量分数的增加，钢中硫化物形态由Ⅱ类逐渐向Ⅰ类、Ⅲ类转变；钢中硫化物尺寸增大，硫化物的分布均匀性得到显著改善；钢中复合夹杂物比例明显增加，但MnS的比例出现下降；形成了细小弥散的氧化物，增加了奥氏体形核质点，具有细化组织的趋势。
