Vapor absorption by LiBr aqueous solution in vertical smooth tubes

Heat and mass transfer in a falling film vertical in-tube absorber was studied experimentally with LiBr aqueous solution. The presented results include the effect of solution flow rate, solution subcooling and cooling water temperature on the absorption in a smooth copper tube 16.05 mm I.D. and 400 mm long. The experimental data in the previous report for a 1200-mm-long tube was also re-examined and compared. It was demonstrated by the observation of the flow in the tube that the break down of the liquid film into rivulets leads to deterioration of heat and mass transfer at lower film Reynolds number or in longer tubes. An attempt to evaluate physically acceptable heat and mass transfer coefficients that are defined with estimated temperature and concentration at the vapor–liquid interface was also presented.     

WAVE INTERACTION WITH PERFORATED CAISSON BREAKWATERS

The reflection coefficient of perforated caissons and the total horizontal forces acting on them were experimentally and numerically analyzed and discussed when wave propagates normally. To consider the viscosity effect of fluid and nonlinear action of waves on structures, the VOF (Volume Of Fluid) method combined with the k-ε turbulence model was used to simulate the interaction between waves and structures. Governing equations were solved with the finite difference method. Through 2D experimental study in the wave flume, the empirical relationship between the reflection coefficient of perforated caissons and the main affecting factors were obtained from the experimental data using the least square method. Also the correlation between the ratio of the total horizontal force acting on perforated caisson and the force acting on solid caisson and the main affecting factors were regressed from the experimental data.     

Damage Development in Gray Cast Iron under Static Deformation

The authors discuss the results of experimental investigation of structural degradation of gray cast iron at various stages of static tensile deformation. Analysis of the deformation process has revealed that damageability of a material under loading can be assessed by both a special strain parameter and scatter of hardness characteristics or a ratio of the modulus deviation to the current value of the elastic modulus. A correlation between these parameters has been established.

油井参数对超声透射系数的影响

为了研究油井各参数对超声波透射系数的影响，根据超声波在媒质中的波函数和边界条件，求出了油井中超声波的透射系数。当井液和水泥层的声速和密度增大时，超声波的透射系数也随之增大，但变化幅度不大，特别是水泥层密度对超声波的透射系数影响很小；当岩层的声速增大时，超声波的透射系数会出现一个极大值；岩层密度对超声波的透射系数影响较大，且随岩层密度的增大超声波的透射系数随之降低。     

Influence of thermal treatments on the elastic parameters in iron rich metallic glasses

The change of magnetoelastic properties after thermal treatments has been investigated for two groups of metallic glasses. (Fe₇₉Co₂₁)_75+xSi_15−1.4xB_10+0.4x (x (at.%)=0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) has been studied both in the as-prepared state and after thermal annealing in an applied magnetic field, to achieve a particular domain structure, at temperatures well below the crystallization temperatures. Changes in the ΔE effect, magnetomechanical coupling (k) and internal friction coefficient (Q⁻¹) are reported, reaching values of about 60% of the saturation value E_S. Fe₆₄Ni₁₀Nb₃Cu₁Si₁₃B₉ alloys annealed in vacuum for 1 h in the temperature range 350–550 °C showed maximum values of the ΔE effect and k of 61% and 0.85, respectively, accompanied by a minimum value of Q of around 2 for the sample annealed at 460 °C. These variations are related to the progress of nanocrystalization. The properties achieved are among the best reported for magnetomechanical applications.     

Mechanical spectroscopy in commercial Fe–6 wt.% Si alloys between 400 and 1000 K

Mechanical spectroscopy, neutron diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed on commercial Fe–6 wt.% Si alloy after quenching from high temperature. The damping spectrum shows a peak at around 800 K and an associated modulus defect. The modulus shows an increase during the second and subsequent heating runs. In addition, an anomaly in the modulus behavior has been found at around 400 K. Different thermal treatments allows to obtain two different recovery degrees of the quenched-in defects. The influence of the recovery degree on the 800 K internal friction peak and on the anelastic modulus has been evaluated and confirm the validity of the grain boundary mechanism associated to this peak. Experimental results are discussed on the basis of recovery and ordering processes.     

The measurement of the diffusion coefficient and the sorption isotherm of water in paint films

An experimental technique together with a numerical model is proposed with which the diffusion coefficient and the sorption isotherm of water in paint can be measured. Inside a closed vessel, paint films are on stainless-steel plates. Water is present as water vapour in the air and in the paint. After blowing dry or wet air through the vessel for some time, the situation moves to a new equilibrium. The relative humidity of the air inside the vessel is measured as a function of time. From fitting the theoretical/numerical model against the experimental values, follow the diffusion coefficient and the sorption isotherm of water in the paint. The results show large scattering. When the independently measured sorption isotherm is used as an input parameter in the model, the fitting procedure gives much smaller scattering for the diffusion coefficient.
