覆盖件修边镶块随形曲面的优化处理方法

为了解决符形类修边镶块刃口面、空刀面等随形曲面创建效率低的问题,提出了一种局部型面裁剪法,仅使用镶块所在位置处的局部型面去裁剪镶块实体,避免对整个型面进行数据搜索处理,解决了完整型面裁剪法耗时过长的问题,使单个镶块的设计效率提高约100%。同时,为了改善非符形类修边镶块随形曲面质量,提出了一种分段式扫略作面法,采用标记法识别曲线的曲率剧变区域,据此将曲线分为多段,进行对应扫略作面再缝合,可解决整体式扫略作面法产生的曲面局部扭曲问题。并通过实例进行效率和质量的对比分析,说明了两种方法的有效性。     

飞机蒙皮振动辅助拉伸成形工艺分析

拉伸成形结束后,由于残余应力的存在导致蒙皮零件产生较大的回弹,会严重影响蒙皮的使用质量。基于回弹产生的原因,从工件的应力-应变机制阐述了振动减小残余应力的机理,提出了一种振动辅助飞机蒙皮拉伸成形的新工艺方法,给出了该工艺的主要参数——频率、振幅在应用选择上的依据条件及实际运用中可选择的合理范围。以飞机前缘蒙皮拉伸成形为例,通过数值仿真模拟,分析了施加振动对成形蒙皮零件回弹的影响以及频率、振幅对改善回弹的影响,并通过实验加以验证。结果表明,在飞机蒙皮拉伸成形过程中,施加振动可以更加有效地减小零件的回弹,当选取的工艺参数频率为30 Hz左右、振幅在1.5 mm左右时回弹值最小,效果最佳。

薄壁钢梁-陶粒混凝土装配式组合楼板受火后受力性能研究

由冷弯薄壁钢梁和陶粒混凝土预制板组成的装配式组合楼板具有轻质、高强和施工方便等优点。为研究该类组合楼板的抗火性能及高温后的受力性能,对6块遭受温度为700℃、持续90min烃类火灾升温作用的简支组合楼板试件进行受火后受力性能试验研究。结果表明：当施加的等效均布荷载达到2kN/m²时,受火作用后的组合楼板试件最大挠度小于跨度的1/400,且在加载过程中薄壁钢梁虽已明显扭曲、混凝土板多处开裂,但组合楼板试件未出现整体坍落现象;以普通栓钉为抗剪键的受火后组合楼板试件,其极限荷载比薄壁钢抗剪键组合楼板试件的提高14.2%;当用钢量相同时,主梁数量较多的组合楼板试件采用U形钢筋作为拉结件,其火灾后极限荷载比采用钢条拉结件的组合楼板试件的增加33%,且整体刚度也有所提高;该类组合楼板在受火后仍具有较高承载能力和整体刚度,且抗剪键类型、预制板之间设置的拉结件以及拉结件与抗剪键的连接方式均对其受火后的受力性能有较大的影响。引入组合效应系数可以较好地反映受火后组合楼板试件的组合效应及内部损伤程度。     

Modeling of a hydronic ceiling system and its environment as energetic auditing tool

As a part of a commissioning study, the chilled ceiling system of a large commercial building located in Belgium is evaluated. A representative office has been instrumented and data on the chilled ceiling system operating in real conditions have been collected. The simulation of the whole system is performed by means of a transient thermal model of the building and its HVAC system. The model considers the hydronic panels as a transient-state finned heat exchanger connected to a simplified lumped transient model of the building. The behavior of the hydronic ceiling system and the interactions with its environment (walls, ventilated facade, internal loads and ventilation system) has been experimentally and numerically evaluated. Commissioning test results show that the influence of surfaces temperatures inside the room, especially the facade, is considerable. Then, it is clear that the hydronic ceiling system must be evaluated together with its designed environment and not as a separate HVAC equipment.     

Optimization of tilt angle for solar panel: Case study for Madinah,Saudi Arabia

This article analyzes the optimal choice of the tilt angle for the solar panel in order to collect the maximum solar irradiation. In this paper, the collector surface is assumed to be facing toward equator. The study is based upon the measured values of daily global and diffuse solar radiation on a horizontal surface. It is shown that the optimal angle of tilt (β_opt) for each month, allows us to collected the maximum solar energy for Madinah site. Annual optimum tilt angle is found to be approximately equal to latitude of the location. It is found that the loss in the amount of collected energy when using the yearly average fixed angle is around 8% compared with the monthly optimum tilt β_opt.     

Hydro energy potential of cooling water at the thermal power plant

The hydro energy of the gravity water flow from the coal-fired thermal power plant units to the river in an open cooling system of turbine condensers is determined. On the basis of statistical data for a long time period, the water net head duration curve due to the river annual level change, as well as the reduction of the hydro energy potential due to the thermal power plant overhauls periods, are evaluated in the case study of the Thermal Power Plant “Nikola Tesla B” in Serbia. A small hydro power plant is designed for the utilization of this hydro energy, and the economic benefits of the project are calculated. The internal rate of returns and pay back periods are calculated in dependence of the electricity price and total investment costs. The increase of profitability is assessed, bearing in mind that the plant might be realized as the Clean Development Mechanism project according to the Kyoto protocol. The obtained results show that the project is economically attractive, and it can be carried out with standard matured solutions of hydro turbines available at the market. Even for the relatively low electricity price from small hydro power plants in Serbia of 0.08 €/kW h the internal rate of return and the pay back period are 17.5% and 5.5 years.     

Experimental study of an air-source heat pump for simultaneous heating and cooling – Part 2: Dynamic behaviour and two-phase thermosiphon defrosting technique

This article presents the concepts of an air-source heat pump for simultaneous heating and cooling (HPS) designed for hotels and smaller residential, commercial and office buildings in which simultaneous needs in heating and cooling are frequent. The main advantage of the HPS is to carry out simultaneously space heating and space cooling with the same energy input. Ambient air is used as a balancing source to run a heating or a cooling mode. The second advantage is that, during winter, energy recovered by the subcooling of the refrigerant is stored at first in a water tank and used subsequently as a cold source at the water evaporator to improve the average performance and to carry out defrosting of the air evaporator using a two-phase thermosiphon. Unlike conventional air-source heat pumps, defrosting is carried out without stopping the heat production. A R407C HPS prototype was built and tested. The basic concepts of the HPS are detailed in part1 of this article [1]. Its performance on defined operating conditions corresponds to the data given by the selection software of the compressor manufacturer. In the present part of this article, the operation of the high pressure control system, the transitions between heating, cooling and simultaneous modes and the defrosting sequence are analysed and validated experimentally.

Solar cooling system using concentrating collectors for office buildings: A case study for Greece

On a European level there is intense research activity to broaden the applications of solar thermal systems beyond their established domains (hot water, space heating support) and to foster their participation in the energy maps of the EU-Member States. Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) systems are expected to play a key role in this effort, especially for achieving the medium and high temperatures needed, for electricity generation, for industrial applications but also for hybridized solar heating/cooling and desalination applications.This paper presents a proposal for implementation of a CST system in the building sector, based on a research carried out in the Laboratory of Environmental and Energy Efficient Design of Buildings and Settlements at the University of Thrace. Specifically, an integrated solar cooling system using parabolic trough solar collectors and double-effect chiller is discussed, used to cover the cooling needs of typical office building in Greece.As it was shown, the use of concentrating solar collectors leads to significantly higher output temperatures that can enable the use of two stage absorption chillers with a higher COP. Alternatively, when low or medium temperature heat is required, the use of CST systems takes less space to cope with it than traditional flat plate collectors. The combination of these parameters can contribute to removing key barriers associated with the broader diffusion of solar cooling technology, enhancing the potential to become more competitive to the conventional air conditioning technologies.
