An experimental and three-dimensional numerical study of natural convection heat transfer between two horizontal parallel plates

In this study, experimental and three-dimensional numerical studies were performed to investigate the effects of plate spacing and temperature difference on natural convection between isothermally heated upward-facing lower horizontal plate and externally insulated horizontal upper plate. Air is used as the heat transfer medium. Rayleigh number varied in the 1108–2.339 × 10⁵ range. Several numerical simulations for three-dimensional steady laminar and turbulent flows heat transfer were carried out using a commercial CFD code Fluent 6.2. Results have shown that there is a good agreement between the numerical and present experimental results as well as with available data in literature.     

Influence of thermal boundary conditions on natural convection in a square enclosure partially heated from below

Natural convection in air-filled 2D square enclosure heated with a constant source from below and cooled from above is studied numerically for a variety of thermal boundary conditions at the top and sidewalls. Simulations are performed for two kinds of lengths of the heated source, i.e., a small and a large source corresponding to 20% and 80% of the total length of the bottom wall, respectively. The Rayleigh number varied from 10³ to 10⁷. Results are presented in the form of streamline and isotherm plots as well as the variation of the Nusselt number and maximum temperature at the heat source surface. Comparisons among the different thermal configurations considered are reported.     

A sensitivity analysis of the linear complementarity programming model: Appalachian steam coal and the natural gas market

There have been extensive attempts in recent years to perform spatial equilibrium analysis of commodity markets, particularly that of energy. Most of these attempts have been based on linear programming transportation models, and more recently quadratic programming models. Unfortunately, neither of these modelling approaches can deal with the case of multi-commodity analysis with non-symmetric regression coefficients. In this paper, we overcome this problem by employing the linear complementarity programming model. In addition, we show how the model can be applied to coal and gas energy flows within a single region. Future potential applications of the model are also implied.

Infiltration and localization of preferential infiltration zones at the dam abutment are measured using radioactive tracer tests of flow in boreholes,meanwhile interconnection between boreholes and the energing water points is analysed.The theory and practice of radioactive tracer synthetic detective method are described to give methods and calculation formulae used under the condition of stable flow in single well to measure permeability coefficient and hydrostatic heads.Major single hole techniques including measurement for seepage line,velocity,rate of seepage flow and relationship of recharge of groundwater in aquifers are introduced briefly.The possibilities offered by natureal tracers are analysed,uincluding electric-conduct,pH-value and temperature of water as well as stable isotopes(D,^18O) and tritium.Furthermore,the sensibilities of this theory and methods were confirmed by detecting seepage flow field of Xinanjiang Dam.     

基于卡尔曼滤波SVM图像鉴别方法研究

研究如何区分自然图像和计算机图形判别图像问题。由于人眼难以判别真伪图像,针对传统的图像鉴别方法由于参数的设置而造成识别准确率低,从而无法准确的区分自然图像和计算机图形。提出了一种卡尔曼滤波和支持向量机分类算法相结合的高性能图像真伪鉴别方法。算法首先采用卡尔曼滤波器提取图像的各个级别的分量,求解出各级分量和判别的误差值并作为特征数据,然后采用支持向量机分类算法对特征数据进行训练判别。仿真结果表明,提出的算法可以有效的判别图像的真伪,可以有效的识别出原始自然图像和合成图像,识别率高达99%以上,同时算法的稳定性较高,具有一定的实际应用价值。     

高黏原油和石英砂复配体系中水合物生成实验研究

在油井开采原油时,会产生伴生气,而在高压和低温环境中会生成天然气水合物,进而堵塞运输管道,因此研究油砂体系（含原油的体系）和纯石英砂体系（不含原油的体系）中水合物生成情况具有重要意义。在初始压力为4.00、6.00、8.00 MPa,石英砂粒径为20、30、60、80目,温度恒定的条件下,研究了油砂体系和纯石英砂体系中甲烷水合物的生成情况以及最终耗气量。结果表明,在初始压力相同的油砂体系中,石英砂粒径越小,水合物生成诱导期越短,水合物生成速率越大。研究石英砂粒径对水合物生成最终耗气量的影响发现,随着石英砂粒径的减小,耗气量先增加后减少,当石英砂粒径为60目时,耗气量达到最大,其值为0.19 mol。同时,对油砂体系和纯石英砂体系中水合物生成情况进行了对比。结果表明,由于两种体系中都存在SDS（十二烷基硫酸钠）溶液,因此水合物生成速率相差不大;在石英砂粒径相同的条件下,油砂体系中最终耗气量小于纯石英砂体系中的最终耗气量,这说明原油对水合物生成具有抑制作用。在油砂体系中,压力越大,越有利于水合物的生成。     

Reactivity study and kinetic evaluation of CuO-based oxygen carriers modified by three different ores in chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) process

In the chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) process,CuO is a promising material due to the high oxygen carrier capacity and exothermic reaction in fuel reactor but limited by the low melting point.The combustion rate of carbon is faster than the decoupling rate of oxygen carrier (OC).Hence,high tem-perature tolerance and rapid oxygen release rate of CuO modified by three different ores were investi-gated in this study.The kinetics analysis of oxygen decoupling with Cu-based oxygen carriers was also evaluated.Results showed that CuO modified by chrysolite had faster oxygen release rate than that of CuO.Limestone showed obvious positive effect on the oxidization process.The selected OCs could keep stable in at least 20 cycles,for about 1200 min.Shrinking core model (SCM) fitted well for the decoupling process in the temperature range of 1123-1223 K.Reduction rate kinetic information may aid in the development of chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) technologies during reactor design and process modeling.Ternary doped copper oxide with chrysolite and limestone could improve the reactivity of CuO in decoupling and coupling process and also improve the high temperature tolerance.
