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.     

Seismic Physical Modeling Technology and Its Applications

1. Introduction Seismic physical modeling technology is an important method for the research on seismic exploration theory and methods. In seismic physical experiments, the earth, mantle or field site are scaled down to physical models according to the similarity principle, and then the seismic field and its variation are observed in the laboratory for the research work on the theories and methods of the earth structure, earthquake forecasting, energy and mineral resource exploration, and engi…     

A Model for Flooding Prediction in Circular Tubes

Flooding phenomenon limits the stability and the flow of a liquid film falling along the walls of a channel in which a gas is flowing upwards.As known, the entrainment effect can completely prevent the liquid to fall from its natural flow. The present work proposes a new mechanistic model for the prediction of the onset of flooding in vertical and inclined pipes in the presence of obstructions, as well as taking into account the viscosity effect. The good performance of the model in the different geometrical conditions and for variable viscosities of the liquid component assesses the validity of the hypothesis that the instability of a wavelike disturbance limits the countercurrent flow in a channel.     

Scale‐up and Spouting of Two‐Dimensional Beds

The objective of this paper is to present an analysis on the scale‐up procedure of two‐dimensional spouted beds. The task was carried out with three different beds measuring 0.15, 0.30 and 0.80 in width. The conditions of scale‐up were studied through geometrical similitude analysis. Some parameters of scale were adimensionalised, tested and validated in order to propose relationships capable of predicting values of dependent properties. Those relationships should be followed in a prototype of an equipment of industrial scale. The study permitted the development of correlations to predict values of maximum pressure drop, minimum spout velocity and maximum height of spouting.     

A Simple Experimental Technique to Measure Tortuosity in Packed Beds

In this article, a simple and inexpensive experimental technique easy to build in laboratory, for the measurement of tortuosity of a packed bed of inert particles, is described. Experimental values of the tortuosity were obtained with four different packed beds of sand. The experimental results obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical values of tortuosity in a porous media; and the data reported showed the tortuosity to increase with decrease in the void fraction of the packed bed as expected.     

Design development of a static sunshade using small scale modeling technique

The rising global demand for energy has triggered emphasis on conservation of energy. Buildings are one of the important energy consuming sectors. Passive solar architecture encompasses a wide range of strategies and options resulting in energy efficient building design and increased occupant's comfort. Passive solar design, aiming at increasing direct solar gains during winter period and to avoid overheating during summer period should make use of specific shading devices over energy efficient window. The static sunshades are most effective for solar control inside the buildings.Countries like India have composite climate, which can be classified under summer, winter and rainy season. Depending on the seasonal requirements, this paper introduces a new geometry of a static sunshade, designed by calculating the sun angles for the two dates. The static sun shading design methodology is validated with the help of small scale modeling experimentation technique, carried out in Pilani, Rajasthan (India). Although insulating materials can be used as a part of a building structure, its feasibility should be checked before particular application. In the present paper, the two small-scale experimental models of actual construction material with varying static sunshades, i.e. horizontal and the proposed one have been constructed and analyzed with the models of insulating material (Polyurethane Foam [PUF]). Depending upon the solar intersection over south facade wall, sunlit area and shaded area have been correlated with temperature inside the models to decide the effectiveness of the proposed sunshade.
