风力发电机弹性支承有限元分析

橡胶材料的非线性力学特性直接影响到风力发电机弹性支承的减振性能。通过橡胶拉伸和压缩实验获得应力-应变数据,借助有限元软件对数据进行拟合,得到橡胶材料恰当的本构模型。依据弹性支承的实际使用工况,选用合理的橡胶材料模型参数,采用整体、四分之一截面和轴对称的三种模型进行计算结果的对比分析。并针对用四分之一模型分析风力发电机弹性支承的非线性垂向、横向刚度和固有频率等特性,通过试验;验证了有限元模型和计算方法的有效性。     

Use of tobacco seed oil methyl ester in a turbocharged indirect injection diesel engine

Vegetable oils and their methyl/ethyl esters are alternative renewable fuels for compression ignition engines. Different kinds of vegetable oils and their methyl/ethyl esters have been tested in diesel engines. However, tobacco seed oil and tobacco seed oil methyl ester have not been tested in diesel engines, yet. Tobacco seed oil is a non-edible vegetable oil and a by-product of tobacco leaves production. To the author's best knowledge, this is the first study on tobacco seed oil methyl ester as a fuel in diesel engines.In this study, potential tobacco seed production throughout the world, the oil extraction process from tobacco seed and the transesterification process for biodiesel production were examined. The produced tobacco seed oil methyl ester was characterized by exposing its major properties. The effects of tobacco seed oil methyl ester addition to diesel No. 2 on the performance and emissions of a four cycle, four cylinder turbocharged indirect injection (IDI) diesel engine were examined at both full and partial loads. Experimental results showed that tobacco seed oil methyl ester can be partially substituted for the diesel fuel at most operating conditions in terms of performance parameters and emissions without any engine modification and preheating of the blends.
