Homogenization of hardness distribution and distortion in high pressure gas quenching

Quenching with gases rather than oil or other liquid media has the advantages of reducing the risks concerning health and environment, while simultaneously homogenizing the quenching results and minimizing distortion due to a wide range of possible process parameter variations and the pure convective heat transfer. In this contribution, a coupled solution for increasing homogenization of quenching results within high pressure gas quenching will be presented. In the first stage, an experimental test facility was set up for flow investigations and in the second stage a numerical simulation model was generated. The numerical and experimental results of the flow through the chamber were compared for several boundary conditions. Finally, after complete verification of the simulation, the model may be used to assist in parameter variation for optimization of homogeneous high pressure gas quenching.     

Application of the blind source separation method to feature extraction of machine sound signals

As the result of vibration emission in air, a machine sound signal carries important information about the working condition of machinery. But in practice, the sound signal is typically received with a very low signal-to-noise ratio. To obtain features of the original sound signal, uncorrelated sound signals must be removed and the wavelet coefficients related to fault condition must be retrieved. In this paper, the blind source separation technique is used to recover the wavelet coefficients of a monitored source from complex observed signals. Since in the proposed blind source separation (BSS) algorithms it is generally assumed that the number of sources is known, the Gerschgorin disk estimator method is introduced to determine the number of sound sources before applying the BSS method. This method can estimate the number of sound sources under non-Gaussian and non-white noise conditions. Then, the partial singular value analysis method is used to select these significant observations for BSS analysis. This method ensures that signals are separated with the smallest distortion. Afterwards, the time-frequency separation algorithm, converted to a suitable BSS algorithm for the separation of a non-stationary signal, is introduced. The transfer channel between observations and sources and the wavelet coefficients of the source signals can be blindly identified via this algorithm. The reconstructed wavelet coefficients can be used for diagnosis. Finally, the separation results obtained from the observed signals recorded in a semi-anechoic chamber demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented methods .     

高沸石配比陶瓷纤维复合纸制备中助留剂的选择

考察了沸石复合纸板制备中助留剂对无机物留着的影响。结果表明,PDADMAC或A-PAM单元体系、PVAm/A-PAM二元助留体系的作用效果差,PDADMAC/A-PAM二元助留体系的留着效果显著,PDADMAC的相对分子质量对留着效果的影响不大,PDADMAC与A-PAM的电荷量比是决定无机物留着的主要因素,本研究的条件下,最佳正负电荷量比为3.0～5.0。     

新兴的直饮机市场

桶装水从上世纪90年代初发展到现在城实居民几乎家家都饮用，可谓盛极一时。但在这盛况背后，桶装水搬运麻烦、质量参差不齐、保存不便和人为污染等问题却又不能忽视。显然，桶装水并不是最完美的选择，那么替代桶装水的又将是什么水呢？[编者按]

A Practical Method to Derive Sample Temperature during Nonisothermal Coupled Thermogravimetry Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry Experiments

Nonisothermal thermogravimetry differential scanning calorimetry (TG‐DSC) mounting is intensively used for the determination of kinetic parameters and reaction heat along the chemical transformation of a solid. Nevertheless, when tests are performed with heating rates as high as those encountered in industrial processes, e.g., several tens of K min^–1, there is great uncertainty in the knowledge of the exact sample temperature. In this work, a method to derive a simple mathematical expression is proposed and fully described in order to calculate the real sample temperature throughout a temperature‐ramped test on a commercial apparatus. The furnace temperature and the heat flow signals were used, together with the crucible specific heat and the heating rate. A number of validation tests were performed to derive similar reaction rates for a reference. First‐order kinetic reactions were presented and reconciled over a large range of heating rates from 3 to 50 K min^–1.     

冀中坳陷东北部石炭—二叠系储层特征及勘探方向

渤海湾盆地冀中坳陷石炭—二叠系残留分布区即坳陷东北部的文安斜坡、杨村斜坡、大城凸起等地区,受印支—燕山和喜马拉雅期强烈的后期构造运动改造,历经差异升降和拉张断陷两大构造发育阶段,致使东、西部剥蚀带的埋藏史表现为沉降—抬升—沉降、沉降—抬升两种类型。区内沉积体系发育较为齐全,自下而上可以识别出滨海潮坪—沼泽、三角洲和河流等三大沉积体系;其中,三角洲和河流体系发育的分流河道、辫状河道砂岩分布范围广、厚度大,形成了该区最主要的砂体类型。区内砂岩储层在其间断埋藏成岩过程中,受表生淋滤作用和深部淋滤作用的影响,形成了较为发育的次生孔隙,孔隙度一般为15%～25%,大气水的深部淋滤作用又进一步改善了断层发育区的储集性能,并由此形成了该区优质的储层。综合评价认为,西部剥蚀带附近是最有利的勘探区带。     

Material constant sensitivity boundary integral equation for anisotropic solids

In this paper, the material constant sensitivity boundary integral equation is presented, and its numerical solution proposed, based on boundary element techniques. The formulation deals with plane problems with general rectilinear anisotropy. Expressions for the computation of sensitivities for displacements, tractions, strains and stresses are derived, both for boundary and interior points. The sensitivities can be computed with respect to the bulk material properties or to the properties of part of the domain (inclusions, coatings, etc.). To assess the accuracy of the proposed approach, the computed results are compared to analytical ones derived from exact solutions obtained by complex potential theory, when possible, or finite difference derivatives otherwise.
