Simultaneous measurement of gas and solid holdups in multiphase systems using ultrasonic technique

Ultrasonic technique has been recently developed to measure dispersed phase holdups in multiphase flows. The experimental results obtained in this work have shown that the fluctuations of the sound speed and attenuation of ultrasound are well-defined functions with solid and gas holdups in liquid-solid and gas-liquid two-phase flows. When both solid particles and gas bubbles are present in a liquid flow, gas bubbles appear to be a dominant factor for the instability of ultrasound signals. These findings lead to a new approach for simultaneous detection of gas and solid holdups in a gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow. In this work, canonical analysis and optimization methods are successfully applied to differentiate the contributions of gas bubbles and solid particles to the ultrasonic signals recorded from three-phase systems. The gas and solid holdups determined by the proposed approach are in a good agreement with the experimental results obtained using differential pressure transducers and conductivity probes.     

Theoretical analysis of a multiple-effect diffusion still producing highly concentrated seawater

A multiple-effect diffusion still producing highly concentrated seawater was theoretically analyzed taking variations of the boiling point elevation (BPE) into account. The still consists of a series of seawater-soaked wicks stuck on closely-spaced parallel plates with the first plate steam-heated at 100°C and the last plate cooled in 30°C ambient air. Evaporation from the wicks increases the BPE more rapidly at downstream distances closer to exits of evaporating areas, and this increase reduces evaporation flux significantly at downstream regions on the wicks. An 80% heat recovery from products of hot condensate and concentrate reduces the steam consumption by 46%. The steam consumption decreases more rapidly with an increasing number of wicks than does the production rate; thus, a lower steam consumption ratio is observed for the still having more wicks. Narrowing the gaps between the plates greatly increases the production rate with a slight decrease in the steam consumption ratio. The still with 19 wicks with 1 m by 2 m evaporating areas, 5 mm gaps and 80% heat recovery produces 12 kg distillate and 3.3 kg concentrate of 0.16 kg/kg-water concentration per 1 kg steam consumption with a 26.4 kg/h distillate production rate.

Computationally efficient solution of population balance models incorporating nucleation, growth and coagulation: application to emulsion polymerization

A computationally efficient solution technique is presented for population balance models accounting for nucleation, growth and coagulation (aggregation) (with extensions for breakage). In contrast to earlier techniques, this technique is not based on approximating the population balance equation, but is based on employing individual rates of nucleation, growth and coagulation to update the PSD in a hierarchical framework. The method is comprised of two steps. The first step is the calculation of the rates of nucleation, growth and coagulation by solving an appropriate system of equations. This information is then used in the second step to update the PSD. The method effectively decomposes the fast and the slow kinetics, thereby eliminating the stiffness in the solution. In solving the coagulation kernel, a semi-analytical solution strategy is adapted, which substantially reduces the computational requirement, but also ensures the consistency of properties such as the number and mass of particles.     

Numerical analysis of particle mixing in a rotating fluidized bed

This paper describes the numerical analysis of particle mixing in a rotating fluidized bed (RFB). A two-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupling model were proposed to analyze the radial particle mixing in the RFB. Spherical polyethylene particles (Geldart group B particles) were used as model particles under the assumptions that they were cohesionless and mono-disperse with their diameter of 0.5 mm.The validity of the proposed model was confirmed by the comparison between the calculated degree of particle mixing and the experimental one, which was obtained by measuring the lightness of the recorded image taken by a high-speed video camera. Effects of the operating parameters (gas velocity, centrifugal acceleration, particle bed height, and vessel radius) on the radial particle mixing rate were numerically analyzed. The radial particle mixing rate was found to be strongly affected by the bubble characteristics, especially by the bubble size. The mathematical model for the rate coefficient of particle mixing as functions of operating parameters was empirically proposed. The radial particle mixing rate in a RFB could be well correlated by the three dimensionless numbers: dimensionless acceleration (Ac), bubble Froude number (Fr_b), and dimensionless radius on the surface of particle bed (β_s).     

基于Hoek-Brown准则的深部岩体力学参数及其应用

基于Hoek-Brown经验强度准则,采用最小二乘法拟合出岩体力学强度参数,并与H-B_02ed推荐的等面积拟合结果进行对比,结果发现两种拟合方法得出的岩体内摩擦角数值相差很小,但等面积拟合法得出的黏聚力强度远高于最小二乘拟合法。将两种强度参数拟合结果应用于深部矿体开采的数值模拟,发现采用最小二乘拟合法的岩体强度参数其模拟结果更接近工程实际。该方法对深部岩体力学参数的确定具有一定的借鉴意义。
