Flow boiling in small diameter channels

Many studies have been carried out on two-phase flow heat transfer in channels with hydraulic diameter bigger than 6 mm, but relatively little work has been done for small diameter channels in the meso and compact range (diameter from 0.1 to 3 mm). The use of exchangers with small channels in refrigeration units, which are very numerous besides, could bring a significant reduction of the internal volume of the exchanger, and therefore diminish the refrigerant charge of the whole refrigerating system. One can imagine the interest to widen knowledge on the flow and the heat transfer in small-diameter tubes. This paper examine the thermal behavior of refrigerants boiling in small pipes. The correlations available for in-tube evaporation heat transfer coefficient are discussed and evaluated, when possible, and new research areas of relevance than can contribute to expand the use of small-diameter channels evaporators in refrigeration units are suggested.     

Influence of grain boundaries on short crack growth behaviour of IGSCC

Understanding short crack behaviour is essential for predicting the lifetime of light water reactor components. However, crack growth rates of short cracks are unsteady due to microstructural obstacles such as grain boundaries. On the other hand, the statistical behaviour of short cracks can be deduced from crack size distributions. Some papers have pointed out that the crack size distributions obtained by stress corrosion cracking tests showed a kink in the distribution line. This kink suggests that the short crack growth rate is slow compared with that of long cracks. And it can be thought that the slow growth rate is caused by the microstructural obstacles. This study investigated the influence of grain boundaries on the short crack growth behaviour of intergranular stress corrosion cracking. A crack growth simulation model, which considered the mechanical effects of the crack kink and bifurcation by grain boundaries, was developed. The crack depth distribution obtained by the simulation also exhibited a kink in the distribution line as seen in the experimental results. This suggests that grain boundaries play an important role in short crack growth behaviour.     

全钒液流电池隔膜在钒溶液中的性能

考察了Nafion、日-160、日-80、FYM(日本产Nafion膜)和均相膜5种离子交换膜的两个关键性能(渗透性和面电阻)及其影响因素,对均相膜的化学稳定性进行了初步研究,并对两种膜进行了改性。实验发现:均相膜的钒扩散系数最小,但面电阻较大,化学稳定性不好;用二乙烯苯(DVB)对均相膜改性,综合性能较好;减小电场可降低钒离子扩散,提高钒溶液中氢离子浓度可减小面电阻。     

Velocity Distribution in the Roughness Layer of Rough-Bed Flows

Several models for the vertical distribution of the double-averaged (in time and in the plane parallel to the mean bed) longitudinal velocity in the flow region between roughness troughs and roughness tops are suggested. We found that the same model for velocity distribution may be applicable to a range of flow conditions and roughness types, which share some common features. The suggested models for velocity distribution in the near-bed region are: (1) Constant velocity; (2) exponential velocity distribution; and (3) linear velocity distribution. The measured velocity distributions may be approximated by a single model or by a combination of models depending on roughness geometry and flow conditions. The validity of these models for velocity distribution is supported by laboratory data.     

Lanthanum Distribution and Oxygen Vacancy Concentration in SrBi4-x Lax Ti4O15

The Raman and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy of lanthanum-doped SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBLT -x, x =0.00, 0. 05, 0. 10, 0. 25, 0.50, 0. 75 and 1.00) ferroelectric ceramics were investigated to explore the La substitution site and the influence of La-doping on the oxygen vacancy concentration. The results suggest that La3 ions behave pronounced site selectivity for the A site in the case of x ≤ 0.10, and they are incorporated into Bi2O2 layers at higher content. The oxygen vacancy concentration declines with La-doping, and the decrease seems saturated as La content is higher than 0.10.     

High order finite difference methods for unsteady incompressible flows in multi-connected domains

Using the vorticity and stream function variables is an effective way to compute 2-D incompressible flow due to the facts that the incompressibility constraint for the velocity is automatically satisfied, the pressure variable is eliminated, and high order schemes can be efficiently implemented. However, a difficulty arises in a multi-connected computational domain in determining the constants for the stream function on the boundary of the “holes”. This is an especially challenging task for the calculation of unsteady flows, since these constants vary with time to reflect the total fluxes of the flow in each sub-channel. In this paper, we propose an efficient method in a finite difference setting to solve this problem and present some numerical experiments, including an accuracy check of a Taylor vortex-type flow, flow past a non-symmetric square, and flow in a heat exchanger.
