新型热源塔溶液再生系统非稳态特性分析与实验研究

针对热源塔冬季运行时存在的吸湿问题，构建了一种新型热源塔溶液再生系统并对其进行实验测试。考虑到系统在初始运行时需要建立平衡的温度场且系统运行时存在溶液不断变浓的现象，对该溶液再生系统启动时的非稳态特性进行了研究，获取了各运行参数随初始运行次数的变化规律，同时对不同浓度下各运行参数变化规律进行了实验分析。实验结果表明：初始开机运行后，随着运行次数的增多，在总运行水量保持不变的情况下，单次运行所需电量呈下降趋势，冷凝水量呈上升趋势，最终系统趋于稳定。随着溶液浓度的变化，系统再生效率存在先增加后降低的趋势，当溶液浓度达到18.5%时出现最佳值，此时再生效率为4.28 kg/(kW·h)，再生速率为749 kg/d，再生百分比为14%。该装置将溶液的真空沸腾过程和冷凝过程融合在一起，系统能耗大大降低，具有较好的节能效果。

Chemoenzymatic Buta-1,3-diene Synthesis from Syngas Using Biological Decarboxylative Claisen Condensation and Zeolite-Based Dehydration

A method for producing buta-1,3-diene (1,3-BD) by an amalgamation of chemical and biological approaches with syngas as the carbon source is proposed. Syngas is converted to the central intermediate, acetyl-CoA, by microorganisms through a tetrahydrofolate metabolism pathway. Acetyl-CoA is subsequently converted to malonyl-CoA using a carbonyl donor in the presence of a carboxylase enzyme. A decarboxylative Claisen condensation of malonyl-CoA and acetaldehyde ensues in the presence of acyltransferases to form 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, which is subsequently reduced by aldehyde reductase to give butane-1,3-diol (1,3-BDO). An ensuing dehydration step converts 1,3-BDO to 1,3-BD in the presence of a chemical dehydrating reagent.     

连续蓄热式生物质气化/燃烧供热系统

生物质能源是一种环境友好的可再生能源,但也存在能量密度低、含水率高、碱金属含量高等缺点,导致其在热利用的过程中存在易结渣、堵灰及腐蚀、热效率不高等问题。本文结合生物质气化、炉内碱金属/硫固定、两级焦油裂解、蓄热式燃烧,以及冷凝热回收等多项先进技术,设计并搭建了连续蓄热式生物质气化/燃烧供热系统。以海洋贝壳类废弃物作为生物质成型燃料的添加剂和生物质焦油裂解过程的催化剂,在实现海洋废弃资源高值化利用的同时,克服了生物质热利用过程中的多项障碍,能够显著提高生物质能热利用效率,同时大幅度降低当前工业及民用供热过程中CO₂、SO_x、NO_x及烟尘的排放,具有良好的经济性与环保性。     

三组分气体超声速凝结过程数值模拟与实验研究

结合液滴成核与生长模型，以及气、液流动控制方程建立了超声速凝结流动数学模型，对空气+水+乙醇三组分（双可凝）气体超声速流动条件下凝结特性进行了数值计算，研究了三组分气体超声速凝结特性影响因素，通过与空气+水双组分（单可凝）气体对比，分析了第二种可凝组分对凝结成核的影响，并开展了实验验证与对比分析。结果表明：随着三组分气体中乙醇含量的升高，Laval喷管内成核率、液滴数均增大，但成核区收窄，液滴生长区向前移动；在入口可凝气体为饱和状态下，升高入口温度与压力均能促进凝结的发生，使Wilson点向喉部移动，进而提高出口气体湿度；与双组分气体相比，三组分气体发生凝结的Wilson点更靠近喉部，出口湿度更大，说明三组分气体发生凝结时，两种可凝气体的凝结过程是相互促进的；Laval喷管沿程压力及Wilson点测试结果与数值计算结果吻合较好，说明所建立的数学模型具有较高的准确性。     

Bio‐Based,Self‐Condensed Polyols

A new method for the synthesis of high‐molar‐mass (MM), bio‐based polyols for elastic polyurethanes is developed. This process is based on the self‐condensation of low MM polyols (M_n ≈ 1000) and vacuum removal of the resulting glycerol. Self‐condensation products are hyperbranched estolide polyols with average MMs close to 3000 and hydroxyl numbers in the range of 40–95 mg KOH g^?1. Three polyols, one with primary and two with secondary hydroxyls and different functionalities, are studied. The transesterification proceeded much faster with primary hydroxyls, leading to high‐viscosity products. The effect of functionality and reactivity of starting polyols on properties is discussed. Practical applications: The process is useful for upgrading the existing natural oil‐based polyols to higher MM, lower OH number and variable‐functionality polyols, for expanding application in the urethane field. The process is simple, involving just an oil‐based polyol, a catalyst, and heating under vacuum.     

Measurement of heat transfer coefficients for steam condensation on a vertical 21.5-mm-O.D. tube in the presence of air

ABSTRACT

Governing the rate of heat transport by condenser tubes in the passive containment cooling system (PCCS), the steam condensation over a vertical cylinder in the presence of air was investigated experimentally. The main objective of this study was to explore if the condensation heat transfer coefficient relies on the tube dimension, which has been a variable missed in most condensation models or has been embraced without experimental demonstration under phase change environments. The mean heat transfer coefficient was measured in the condensation test facility named JERICHO (JNU Experimental Rig for Investigation of Condensation Heat transfer On tube). The outer diameter of the condenser tube used in this study was set to 21.5 mm. The measured heat transfer coefficients were compared to those obtained from the 40-mm-O.D. tube, and a multiplier to correct the variation of the heat transfer coefficient with the tube diameter was proposed for its application to Lee correlation. The proposed correlation was further validated against another set of experimental data obtained from a separate test facility housing the 31.8-mm-O.D. tube.     

Experimental two-phase heat transfer coefficient and frictional pressure drop inside mini-channels during condensation with R1234yf and R134a

The present paper reports condensing two-phase flow pressure drop gradient and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) inside a mini-channel multiport tube with R1234yf and R134a. Several models available in the literature are used to compare predictions of these two fluids. Experimental data are analysed to get the influence of saturation temperature, mass flux, vapour quality and fluid properties. HTC values of R1234yf seem to be lower than R134a under similar conditions. Two-phase flow pressure drops are also lower in the case of the new refrigerant R1234yf.

实验研究了不凝性气体（空气）含量、水温和蒸汽质量流速对蒸汽浸没射流冷凝压力振荡特性的影响，实验工况横跨冷凝振荡（CO）区和稳定冷凝（SC）区。结果表明：对于纯蒸汽射流，压力振荡主频随水温的升高而降低，振荡强度随水温的升高而升高；在CO区，振荡主频和振荡强度均随蒸汽质量流速的升高而升高；在SC区，振荡主频随蒸汽质量流速的升高而降低，振荡强度基本上不随蒸汽质量流速的变化而发生改变；对于含空气射流，随空气质量分数的增加，振荡主频总体呈下降趋势，振荡强度先迅速下降后小幅上升，在空气质量分数为0.05～0.1区域内振荡主频和振荡强度均存在极小值。
