国有科研单位人才流失原因分析及对策

近年来,国有科研单位,尤其是地处经济不发达地区的国有科研单位,出现了较为严重的人才流失现象,一定程度上影响和制约了国有科研单位的发展。通过对国有科研单位人才流失原因的分析,提出了相应的对策。     

燃气管网动态仿真的研究及应用

研究和了解燃气在管道中的流动，是进行燃气管网系统优化和提高管网输运系统安全性的前提和基础。以流体力学三大守恒方程为基础，建立了等温和非等温条件下的燃气管网稳态和动态仿真理论模型。以有限差分法为基础，得到了上述模型的求解方法，并加入了耗散项，提高了求解方法的稳定性。通过增加初始点和延长出口点的方法，简化了模型的求解。通过在北京六环天然气管网中的初步应用，分别得到了与实际值综合相对误差为1.21％和2.62％的压力和流量仿真值，从而验证了模型及求解方法的可靠性。     

空气钻井技术在普光气田的应用

普光气田是四川盆地已发现的最大天然气田。普光气田已钻井实践表明,常规钻井液钻井技术机械钻速低,钻井周期长,钻井复杂及事故多,无法满足普光气田开发要求。为了提高钻井速度,缩短钻井周期,加快普光气田的开发进程,在PD-1井、P2-2井、PA-2井、P4-2井、P6-3井等5口井进行了空气钻井试验。文中分析了普光气田进行空气钻井的可行性,介绍了空气钻井技术在普光气田的实践情况,并对空气钻井的效果进行了评价,分析了空气钻井技术在普光气田进一步应用需要重视和解决的问题,并提出了今后的研究方向。     

重复压裂裂缝转向时油藏数值模拟研究

裂缝转向的实现及选井、选层、优化设计等的数值模拟和机理是转向重复压裂需进一步研究解决的问题,为此,采用黑油模型,研究了在反九点注采井网中,不同储集层渗透率下,转向重复压裂的裂缝穿透率和导流能力等对采油动态的影响。研究表明,不论是渗透率高的地层还是渗透率低的地层,不利裂缝方位的边井最适合实施转向重复压裂且需要比常规重复压裂更大的缝长,而有利裂缝方位的边井和角井只需要与常规重复压裂相当的缝长;同时,转向重复压裂需要比常规重复压裂更高的裂缝导流能力。     

Performance of thermostatic and electronic valves controlling the compressor capacity

The performance of the energy consumption of an electronic valve and a classical thermostatic valve has been compared when these expansion valves are adopted in a vapour compression plant subjected to a cold store. The main aim is to verify experimentally which type of expansion valve would be preferable from energy point of view when a classical thermostat or a fuzzy logic algorithm are used as the control system for the refrigeration capacity. The fuzzy logic‐based control is able to modulate continuously the compressor speed through an inverter. The results show that with a fuzzy algorithm, the thermostatic expansion valve allows an energy saving of about 8% in comparison with the electronic valve. When on–off control is used, the electric energy consumption obtained both with the electronic valve and with the thermostatic valve is comparable. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Evaluation of Atmospheric and Vacuum Residues Using Molecular Distillation and Optimization

The term atmospheric residue describes the material at the bottom of the atmospheric distillation tower having a lower boiling point limit of about 340°C; the term vacuum residue (heavy petroleum fractions) refers to the bottom of the vacuum distillation, which has an atmospheric equivalent boiling point (AEBP) above 540°C. In this work, the objective is to evaluate the behavior of different kinds of Brazilian atmospheric and vacuum residues using molecular distillation. The Falling Film Molecular Distillator was used. For the results obtained through this process, a significant range of temperature can be explored avoiding the thermal decomposition of the material. So these results are very important to the refinery decisions and improvements. The Experimental Factorial Design results showed that the temperature has more influence on the process than the feed flow rate, when a higher percentage of distillate is required.     

Understanding the differences between how novice and experienced designers approach design tasks

Research was undertaken to understand how to provide the most appropriate support for novice designers in engineering design. However, how designers apply their experience and knowledge is not understood and further research in this area is required. This paper describes an observational study to understand how novice and experienced designers approach design tasks. Electronic Publication
