An appraisal of tree sulphur content as a long term air pollution gauge

Plant sulphur content of tree annual ring groups is used as an air pollution gauge in the vicinity of the Port Talbot (South Wales) steel works. The results indicate, with regards sulphur dioxide pollution, a recent improvement in air quality. Dendrochronological measurements also indicate this general trend.

OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL MODELLING OF PULSE COMBUSTORS FOR DRYING APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT

Results of investigations of a valved pulse combustor to choose optimal geometry, which covered measurements of the flow rates of air and fuel, pressure oscillations, including pressure amplitude and frequency and flue gas composition are presented in the paper. Experimental studies compsiring the operation of the pulse combustor coupled with a drying chamber and working separately are described. It was found that coupling of the pulse combustor with a drying chamber had no significant effect on the pulse combustion process. Smoother runs of pressure oscillations in the combustion chamber, lower noise level and slightly higher NO_x emission were observed. The velocity flow field inside the drying chamber was measured by LDA technique. Results confirmed a complex character of pulsating flow in the chamber. A large experimental data set obtained from measurements enabled developing a neural model of pulse combustion process. Artificial neural networks were trained to predict amplitudes and frequencies of pressure oscillations, temperatures in the combustion chamber and emission of toxic substances. An excellent mapping performance of the developed neural models was obtained. Due to complex character of the pulse combustion process, the application of artificial neural networks seems to be the best way to predict inlet parameters of a drying agent produced by the pulse combustor     

Beneficiation of low-grade diasporic bauxite with hydrocyclone

Low-grade diasporic bauxite was treated with hydrocyclone of small cone-angle. The effects of apex diameter, feed pressure and feed concentration on separation indexes were tested, and then the separation process was discussed by hydrokinetics tentatively. The results show that the increase of apex diameter changes the spacial locality of the envelope of zero vertical velocity, resulting in decrease of the ratio of Al2O3/SiO2 in overflow and increase of the recovery of Al2O3 in underflow, while feed pressure and feed concentration have no remarkable effect on the spacial locality of the envelope of zero vertical velocity, however, the separation indexes are improved by the increase of feed pressure, but are worsened by the increase of feed concentration.     

Experimental study on response of hot wire and cylindrical hot film anemometers operating under varying fluid temperatures

The working principle of constant temperature anemometer (CTA), used for fluid velocity and/or turbulence measurements, is based on convective heat transfer from a sensor (a hot wire or a hot film) to the fluid being measured. Response of a CTA, working in temperatures other than its calibration temperature, involves errors which must be corrected for reliable measurement data. We have experimentally studied the effect of variations in fluid temperature on the response of hot wire and cylindrical hot film anemometers, and have discussed the application of different correction factors. Effects of overheat ratio (sensor temperature) and fluid velocity on the CTA output voltage correction factor have been discussed. The results show that the error in the CTA response depends on the sensor temperature, and it shows a decrease with increasing sensor temperature (increasing overheat ratio). The results also show that the error correction factor depends on the overheat ratio and fluid velocity. The required error correction factor also depends on whether the fluid temperature decreases or increases with respect to the calibration temperature of the CTA. In spite of differences in sensor characteristics, our work on cylindrical hot film sensors shows that the correction factors for hot wire and hot film sensors are similar and close in magnitude.     

Copper-Tungsten Composites Sprayed by HVOF

Copper and copper-tungsten composite coatings were produced by high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying (HVOF). After initial optimization of the spraying parameters, coatings of various compositions were made and their structure, composition, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties were characterized. The HVOF technique was able to produce rather dense coatings with minimal oxide content and relatively good mechanical and thermal properties compared to, for example, plasma-sprayed coatings; however, the achieved tungsten content was quite low.     

柔性护坡袋抗冲性能试验研究

柔性护坡材料是近些年来研制出来的一种新型护坡材料，其内填装不同粒径的土壤，有利于植物的生长，不仅被广泛地用地面绿化中，也应用于河湖的边坡护岸，为河湖水生动植物栖息环境创造良好的条件。由于对这类材料抗冲性能研究较少，从而限制了其在河湖边坡治理中的应用。本文在压力水槽中试验研究了柔性护坡袋的抗冲性能，分析了影响柔性护坡袋抗冲性能的影响因素和柔性护坡袋失稳的机理。研究表明，柔性护坡袋内土壤的级配是影响柔性护坡袋抗冲性能的重要因素，为提高柔性护坡带的抗冲性能，土壤的级配可根据《水利水电工程土工合成材料应用技术规范》确定，当柔性护坡袋中土壤级配满足规范要求时，其抗冲流速可达4m/s。当河道流速超过3.5m/s时，应增强柔性护坡袋之间的连接强度，以提高护坡结构的稳定性。
