The development and application of a multiple wavelength illumination technique for the vision-based process monitoring of aero-structure riveting

Airframe riveting is a critical process that requires high levels of process monitoring and quality assurance due to the very high risk associated with the failure of such joints. This paper describes the development of the enabling technology developed for a machine vision-based process monitoring system. One of the key factors affecting the performance of a machine vision system is the quality of the lighting. In the application described in this paper the available lighting was severely limited by the confined space in which the system had to operate. The problem was also compounded by the reflective nature of the objects to be examined. The initial images obtained were not suitable for further processing due to the presence of significant shadows and specular reflections. A novel solution to this problem based on multiple wavelength illumination and signal processing is presented along with results from experimental trials of the approach.     

SIMULATION STUDIES OF THE REMOVAL OF WATER FROM ETHANOL BY A CATALYTIC DISTILLATION PROCESS

A new approach based on catalytic distillation (CD) technology was proposed to remove water from ethanol. Isobutylene was introduced to react with water in the CD column. The commercial software simulation tool Aspen Plus was used to investigate the effects of key design factors such as operating pressure and temperature, reactant ratios, reflux and distillate to feed ratios, number of separation and reaction stages, and feed and reaction zone location. It was found that the CD technology offers potential advantages of reduced energy consumption and reduced capital cost over traditional approaches for the removal of water from ethanol.

高压水射流射孔井眼应力数值模拟研究

水力射孔技术是一种新型完井方式,利用深穿透水力射孔技术辅助定向压裂,可实现油层改造和油井增产。考虑套管水泥环的影响,采用有限元理论结合ANSYS软件计算了高压水射流水力射孔井眼周围的应力,重点分析了水力射孔参数对井周应力的影响规律,初步研究了直井水力压裂时水力射孔对裂缝起裂的影响。计算结果表明,沿最大水平地应力方向布孔时,孔眼根部的周向拉应力最大,裂缝将会在孔眼根部起裂;选择合理水力射孔参数可有效降低地层破裂压力。研究结果可为高压水射流水力射孔辅助定向压裂提供参数优选的依据。

铁液洁净度对凝固热力学参数的影响

为了给高洁净钢连铸细晶技术提供相关理论依据，在高温钼丝炉中通过对电解纯铁加金属铝和硅脱氧，获得不同铁液洁净度的试样。利用差热分析法测定了试样在相同冷却速度下的过冷度。利用凝固过程热力学理论研究了铁液洁净度与过冷度、凝固热力学驱动力、形核功和临界晶核半径等的关系。结果表明：随着铁液洁净度的提高，铁液凝固时的过冷度增大，形核所需的凝固热力学驱动力变大，非均质形核功和临界晶核半径减小。
