轴流式搅拌桨搅拌槽内混合时间的数值模拟

利用计算流体力学软件FLUENT 6.0程序计算了单层CBY搅拌槽内流体混合过程的速度场和浓度场,讨论了加料点位置和监测点位置对混合时间的影响。结果表明,拌槽内物料的混合过程主要由槽内的流体流动所控制;混合时间与加料点位置有关,在桨叶附近区域加料时混合时间比在液体表面加料时的混合时间短,应尽量在搅拌反应器的桨叶尖端处加料;不同的监测点位置对混合时间有很大的影响,在靠近槽底部进行监测所得到的混合时间最短。     

半圆管曲面涡轮搅拌槽内混合特性的数值模拟

在商业化软件ANSYS CFX 10.0平台上,采用多重参考系法来解决挡板与桨叶之间的相对转动问题,由标准k-ε模型对半圆管曲面涡轮搅拌槽内流动和混合过程进行了详细的数值模拟,本模拟所得的功率准数和设计值以及相关文献值吻合良好。结果表明：当搅拌桨离底距离由搅拌槽直径的1/2处变为1/3处时,搅拌槽内的流型均为典型的“双循环流型”,而当搅拌桨离底距离由搅拌槽直径的1/3处降低至1/6处时,槽内流型由典型的“双循环流型”转变为“单循环流型”;通过对不同时刻不同桨叶离底距离下的示踪剂浓度分布图分析表明槽内的混合过程与流动场密切相关;加料点位置对于最终的流场混合效果有着显著影响,对于混合时间数据的采集应注意不同加料位置时监测点的选取。CFD模拟结果表明本文所采用的模型可以很好的预测半圆管曲面涡轮搅拌槽内的混合特性,为进一步改进和优化半圆管曲面涡轮的设计提供了一定的参考。     

偏心组合桨搅拌槽内层流混合过程的数值模拟

目前,处理高黏流体和对剪切敏感介质的层流搅拌槽的报道并不多见。本文建立了描述双层组合桨搅拌槽内高黏非牛顿流体层流流动、混合过程的数学模型,利用Laminar模型、多重参考系法（MRF）和示踪剂浓度法对其流场特性、示踪剂扩散过程进行数值模拟,分析搅拌槽内轴向速度曲线、示踪剂浓度响应曲线和混合时间。结果表明：中心搅拌中间面将介质阻隔在各自的半层内运动,偏心搅拌介质作全局运动,轴向混合能力突出;转轴中心搅拌依靠上下半层浓度差的增大向下扩散,转轴偏心搅拌通过不对称结构扩散示踪剂,叶轮相对转轴偏心搅拌则利用叶片的不对称分布;距离加料点较近和较远的监测点浓度响应曲线因振荡和调整,混合时间较长,处于中间面的监测点拥有最短的混合时间。     

用CFD研究搅拌槽内的混合过程

在CFX软件的基础上开发了用于混合过程计算的程序,并在流动场计算的基础上对单层涡轮桨搅拌槽内的混合过程进行了初步的数值研究.对速度场和浓度场联立求解与单独求解两种处理方法分别进行了计算,计算得到的浓度响应曲线与文献数据趋势一致,两种方法计算的混合时间变化规律一致,联立求解计算得到的混合时间略小于单独求解,但是联立求解的计算量非常大.计算结果表明：混合过程与计算采用的流动场密切相关;混合时间大小不仅与监测点位置有关,还与加料位置有关,在搅拌桨附近加料混合时间最小,在槽底部加料混合时间最大.     

改进型INTER-MIG桨种分槽内混合过程的实验研究及大涡模拟

多层桨搅拌槽内的微观混合特性

在直径0.476 m的多层桨搅拌槽内,采用平行竞争反应工作体系,就不同的多层桨型组合、进料时间、搅拌转速及进料位置对产物分布的影响规律进行了系统的实验研究,并采用涡旋卷吸模型就加料位置等操作条件对产物分布的影响进行了模拟计算,模拟值与实验值吻合. 结果表明,对于多层桨搅拌体系,在液面处加料时产物分布主要由上层桨的桨型决定,底层桨的排出流区加料时主要由底层桨的桨型及功率决定. 卷吸模型能够较好地描述搅拌槽内的微观混合过程.     

一种计算搅拌槽混合时间的新方法

基于对混合时间定义的思考,提出了一种新的定义方法,在湍流流场数值计算的基础上通过求解示踪剂的浓度输运方程,研究了单层涡轮桨搅拌槽内的混合过程。结果表明：搅拌转速和搅拌桨安装位置都影响混合时间的大小,而进料位置对混合时间的影响不大。对于不同的搅拌转速而言,随搅拌转速的增大,相同体积分数对应的混合时间逐渐减小。当搅拌桨安装在槽中间位置时所对应的混合时间最小。利用适宜的尺寸和安装位置的导流筒可有效降低混合时间。     

双层涡轮桨搅拌反应器内混合时间的大涡模拟

采用计算流体力学(CFD)方法对直径为0.476m双层涡轮桨搅拌反应器内的流动及混合进行了数值模拟,并实验测试了混合过程。利用大涡模拟(LES)及Smagorinsky-Lilly亚格子模型求解湍流流动与示踪剂传递过程,桨叶区域采用滑移网格技术。研究结果表明,大涡模拟得到的示踪剂响应曲线和混合时间与实验结果吻合良好,其预测精度明显优于基于雷诺平均(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes,RANS)的标准k-ε模型的模拟结果。大涡模拟是研究搅拌反应器内非稳态及周期性湍流流动的有效方法。     

搅拌槽内混合过程的模拟计算方法

利用CFD软件Fluent,对搅拌槽内的混合过程进行了模拟计算。通过整体监测槽内示踪剂浓度的最大、最小值的来计算混合时间,并定义混合体积描述宏观混合过程。结果表明:桨叶产生的流场分布—平行流与文献的PIV研究监测结果具有良好的一致性;整体监测得到的混合时间之间的差值较小;混合体积曲线能够从宏观的角度来分析搅拌混合过程。

Direct observation of freeze-thaw instability of latex coatings via high pressure freezing and cryogenic SEM

Despite its industrial importance, the subject of freeze-thaw (F/T) stability of latex coatings has not been studied extensively. There is also a lack of fundamental understanding about the process and the mechanisms through which a coating becomes destabilized. High pressure (2100 bar) freezing fixes the state of water-suspended particles of polymer binder and inorganic pigments without the growth of ice crystals during freezing that produce artifacts in direct imaging scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surfaces of frozen coatings. We show that by incorporating copolymerizable functional monomers, it is possible to achieve F/T stability in polymer latexes and in low-VOC paints, as judged by the microstructures revealed by the cryogenic SEM technique. Particle coalescence as well as pigment segregation in F/T unstable systems are visualized. In order to achieve F/T stability in paints, latex particles must not flocculate and should provide protection to inorganic pigment and extender particles. Because of the unique capabilities of the cryogenic SEM, we are able to separate the effects of freezing and thawing, and study the influence of the rate of freezing and thawing on F/T stability. Destabilization can be caused by either freezing or thawing. A slow freezing process is more detrimental to F/T stability than a fast freezing process; the latter actually preserves suspension stability during freezing.

Gordon Best Paper Competition.     

Ethanol and (−)-α-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Bark and Ambrosia Beetles in the Southeastern US

In 2002–2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (−)-α-pinene in the southeastern US. Eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (Ambrosiodmus tachygraphus, Anisandrus sayi, Dryoxylon onoharaensum, Monarthrum mali, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xylosandrus compactus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Xylosandrus germanus) and two species of bark beetles (Cryptocarenus heveae and Hypothenemus sp.). Traps baited with (−)-α-pinene lures (release rate, 2–6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to five bark beetle species (Dendroctonus terebrans, Hylastes porculus, Hylastes salebrosus, Hylastes tenuis, and Ips grandicollis) and one platypodid ambrosia beetle species (Myoplatypus flavicornis). Ethanol enhanced responses of some species (Xyleborus pubescens, H. porculus, H. salebrosus, H. tenuis, and Pityophthorus cariniceps) to traps baited with (−)-α-pinene in some locations. (−)-α-Pinene interrupted the response of some ambrosia beetle species to traps baited with ethanol, but only the response of D. onoharaensum was interrupted consistently at most locations. Of 23 species of ambrosia beetles captured in our field trials, nine were exotic and accounted for 70–97% of total catches of ambrosia beetles. Our results provide support for the continued use of separate traps baited with ethanol alone and ethanol with (−)-α-pinene to detect and monitor common bark and ambrosia beetles from the southeastern region of the US.     

Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates Attract Stink Bugs and Tachinid Parasitoids

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is a newly invasive species in the eastern USA that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in Allentown, PA. In its native range, the BMSB is reportedly attracted to methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern Asia, Plautia stali Scott. In North America, Thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate [the (E,Z,Z)-isomer] as part of their pheromones. Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates were field-tested in Maryland to monitor the spread of the BMSB and to explore the possibility that Thyanta spp. are an alternate host for parasitic tachinid flies that use stink bug pheromones as host-finding kairomones. Here we report the first captures of adult and nymph BMSBs in traps baited with methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate in central Maryland and present data verifying that the tachinid, Euclytia flava (Townsend), exploits methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate as a kairomone. We also report the unexpected finding that various isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate attract Acrosternum hilare (Say), although this bug apparently does not produce methyl decatrienoates. Other stink bugs and tachinids native to North America were also attracted to methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates. These data indicate there are Heteroptera in North America in addition to Thyanta spp. that probably use methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates as pheromones. The evidence that some pentatomids exploit the pheromones of other true bugs as kairomones to find food or to congregate as a passive defense against tachinid parasitism is discussed.
