PROPAGATION OF GASLESS COMBUSTION FRONTS: NONZERO REACTION RATE IN THE WHOLE DOMAIN

This paper deals with the gasless combustion problem in an infinite one-dimensional medium. The possibility of the existence of steadily propagating reaction waves is stated for system models with nonzero reaction rates everywhere but at the boundaries. Two forms for the chemical reaction rate dependence on the temperature are considered: the classical Arrhenius, and a modified Arrhenius incorporating and ignition temperature. The equations for the steadily propagating waves are studied in the phase-plane of the temperature and its derivative. The analysis first addresses the question of whether steadily propagating waves are admissible. Then bounds for the propagation velocity are sought and found. The results of the closed-form analysis are successfully tested against numerical experiments. Non-steady propagation regimes are also found, and regions in the parameter space associated with different asymptotic dynamical behaviour are identified.     

EFFECT OF CRACKING REACTIONS KINETICS ON THE MODEL PREDICTIONS OF AN INDUSTRIAL FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING UNIT

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is one of the most complex processes in the petroleum industry. The large degree of uncertainty in the kinetics of the cracking reactions and catalyst deactivation by coke deposition in the riser reactor are among several factors that contribute to the process complexity. The model developed by the authors (Ali and Rohani, 1995) is used lo investigate the effect of the three-lumped kinetic scheme (Weekman and Nace, 1970) and the four-lumped scheme (Lee ct ah, 1989) on the model predictability and reliability. The effect of changes in the catalyst circulation rate, gas oil feed rate, and oxygen feed concentration on various process variables is compared. It is shown that the three-lumped kinetic scheme, despite its extensive use in the literature (McFarlane et ah, 1993; Elnashaie and Elshishini, 1993; Theologos and Markatos, 1993; Arandes and de Lasa, 1992; Lopez-lsunza and Ruiz-Martinez, 1991), leads to erroneous results and should not be used in the dynamic simulation of the FCC units,

基于降雨-径流试验的高寒草甸产流机制研究

对黄河源区高寒草甸产流机制进行研究,为河源区生态环境保护、水资源科学规划管理提供基础水文理论认知。基于野外降雨-径流试验,通过回归分析构建考虑坡度和覆被因子的暴雨和中小雨产流计算模式,精度良好,能够反映暴雨和中小雨2种降雨模式下高寒草甸产流的一般特征。试验结果表明,因草甸土-植体系蓄容能力较强,高寒草甸区地表产流主要发生在暴雨模式下,中小雨模式下的地表产流量一般很小。模式应用表明,草甸发生退化后,暴雨和中小雨入渗均有减少,暴雨模式下退化草甸比高覆草甸入渗减少约12%,中小雨模式下减少约3%。     

堆积体内部裂隙对降雨入渗的影响

降雨条件下滑坡体稳定性与裂隙诱发入渗密切相关。为了探究裂隙发育对堆积体降雨入渗的影响,以澜沧江某巨型堆积体坡表发育的裂隙现象为出发点,设计了均质堆积体和主-次裂隙堆积体2种模型。通过室内物理模拟试验及数值分析,并结合土体中的含水率、基质吸力、湿润锋迁移速度及深度的变化趋势可得出以下结论:裂隙型堆积体在降雨1 h和观测23 h的整个时间段内,其湿润锋迁移变化趋势可归纳为入渗加速→峰值→入渗减速→趋向于0;裂隙的存在为雨水入渗提供了有利的通道,雨水可到达土体深部,形成暂态饱和区,随降雨结束又逐渐消散;降雨在裂隙型发育的堆积体中的入渗过程可分为4个阶段,即前期完全入渗、裂隙下方强烈入渗、补偿加速入渗及水平侧渗。研究结果可为后续滑坡复活机理和稳定性评价提供参考。     

Comparison of soil moisture at different depths for drought monitoring based on improved soil moisture anomaly percentage index

To better understand the characteristics and mechanisms of droughts at different drought stages, this study selected the Xiangjiang River Basin in China as the study area, and evaluated soil moisture (SM) at different depths for drought monitoring, through SM data simulated with the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) model. To solve the problem of unreasonable drought/wetness classifications based on the soil moisture anomaly percentage index (SMAPI), an improved soil moisture anomaly percentage index (ISMAPI) was developed by introducing the Box–Cox transformation. The drought/wetness frequency generated by ISMAPI demonstrated preferable spatial comparability in comparison with those from SMAPI. The lag time of ISMAPI relative to the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index was closely related to soil depth, and was characterized by a fast response in shallow soil layers and a relatively slow response in deep soil layers. SM in shallow soil layers provided a measure for monitoring short-term droughts, whereas SM in deep soil layers provided a better measure for long-term persistent drought events. Furthermore, the occurrence and mitigation time of drought events identified by SM in deep soil layers usually lagged behind that identified by SM in shallow soil layers. Compared with deep SM, SM in shallow soil layers responded faster to meteorological anomalies, thereby resulting in shorter periods of SM persistence in shallow soil layers than in deep soil layers. This can explain the differences of SM at different depths in drought monitoring.     

华北中部平原地表水入渗试验 ——以南宫溹泸河为例

华北平原中部地区含水砂层颗粒细且薄,对地下水储蓄和地表水入渗不利。选择河道带进行地表水入渗试验,以获取最大地下储蓄空间,为该区水资源合理利用提供良策。试验区选在南宫溹泸河,人工引水1.5个月,获取大量监测数据,据此对地下水位和水量的变化特征、入渗量和地下水库调蓄能力进行研究,结果表明：干涸河道引水入渗,入渗比例可达80.54%;溹泸河上下游2个断面Ⅰ-Ⅰ′和Ⅱ-Ⅱ′河道垂向渗透速度为10.81 m/d和10.72 m/d;水平扩散速度为1.69 m/h和2.38 m/h。由于Ⅰ-Ⅰ′断面垂向渗透速度大于Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面,而水平扩散速度小于Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面,所以Ⅰ-Ⅰ′断面形成的水丘相比Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面较为明显,且不易消散。计算结果显示,试验区调蓄库容为1.87亿m3。     

Visual recognition efficiency of handheld infrared thermometer interface information under low ambient illuminance

One of the symptoms of plagues, epidemics or pandemics is often a fever, so during such unprecedented times, handheld infrared thermometers are vital devices for monitoring symptomatic individuals. It is therefore very important to enhance reading efficiency when these thermometers are used for lengthy periods of time in a low illuminance environment. The need for the efficient reading of infrared thermometers or a fast reaction time when reading the information is even more relevant now during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a target search experiment of digital characters is carried out through a simulated interface and use scenarios of a handheld thermometer based on three variables: the inclination angle or slant of the seven segment display characters, screen brightness, and ambient illuminance. The experimental results show that the inclination angle or slant of the characters and ambient illuminance have a significant effect on the reaction speed. In general, the slowest reaction time is found when reading characters with a slant of 10° to the left and the reaction time is the fastest with a right slant of 20°. A continued reduction in ambient illuminance does not affect the visual recognition performance but instead further enhances reading efficiency. Increasing the screen brightness increases the reaction time more in relatively low ambient illuminance conditions as opposed to relatively high ambient illuminance, which implies that in higher ambient illuminance conditions, a brighter screen needs to be used to obtain the same reaction speed as that in lower ambient illuminance conditions.     

熔体处理对一种Inconel 718C改型高温合金组织与性能的影响

在试验合金中,1600℃熔体处理对凝固后组织和性能产生显著影响。经1600℃熔体处理后,合金样品二次枝晶间距显著降低,元素偏析情况得到有效改善,凝固过程析出的TCP相数量明显减少,热处理后γ″析出相也更加细小均匀。熔体处理对合金室温和700℃拉伸强度影响不大,但却显著提高合金的拉伸塑性和700℃/620MPa持久性能。在1600℃熔体处理10min时,合金的综合力学性能最佳;延长熔体处理时间至15min时,合金力学性能呈下降趋势。
