Development and validation of a micro-fin tubes evaporator model using R134a and R1234yf as working fluids

This paper presents a model of shell and tube evaporator with micro-fin tubes using R1234yf and R134a. The model developed for this evaporator uses the ε-NTU method to predict the evaporating pressure, the refrigerant outlet enthalpy and the outlet temperature of the secondary fluid. The model accuracy is evaluated using different two-phase flow boiling correlations for micro-fin tubes and comparing predicted and experimental data. The experimental tests were carried out for a wide range of operating conditions using R134a and R1234yf as working fluids. The predicted parameter with maximum deviations, between the predicted and experimental data, is the evaporating pressure. The correlation of Akhavan– Behabadi et al. was used to predict flow boiling heat transfer, with an error on cooling capacity prediction below 5%. Simulations, carried out with this validated model, show that the overall heat transfer coefficient of R1234yf has a maximum decrease of 10% compared with R134a.     

Contributions of higher order terms to nonlinear waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes: strongly dispersive case

In the present work, employing the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, isotropic and elastic thin tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, and then utilizing the modified reductive perturbation technique presented by us [15] the amplitude modulation of weakly nonlinear waves is examined. It is shown that the first order term in the perturbation expansion is governed by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the second order term is governed by the linearized Schrödinger equation with a nonhomogeneous term. In the longwave limit a travelling wave type of solution to these equations are also given.     

Behaviors of concrete-filled steel tubular members subjected to combined loading

The present study is an investigation on the behaviors of concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular members subjected to combined loading, such as compression and torsion, bending and torsion, compression, bending and torsion. ABAQUS software is used in this paper for the finite element analysis (FEA). A comparison of results calculated using this modeling shows generally good agreement with test results. The FEA modeling is then used to investigate the influence of important parameters that determine the ultimate strength of the composite members under combined loading, such as compression and torsion, bending and torsion, compression, bending and torsion. The parametric studies provide information for the development of formulae for calculating the ultimate strength of the composite members subjected to combined loading.

四层卷焊管的应力应变分析

在大功率柴油发动机的高压油路中,常常需要用到管径较细、有一定壁厚且能承受高压的油管。以往采用铜来生产这种油管,其成本较高、资源少且加工精度低,而用卷焊管替代铜管则是发展的必然趋势。采用生产可靠性好、成本低、精度高的一次成型四层卷焊管的成型理论,通过有限元对其成型的可行性做了模拟,进而对四层卷焊管进行了应力应变分析,为寻找合理的应力-应变状态、优化工艺条件奠定了基础。     

Deflections of highly inflated fabric tubes

Inflatable beams made of modern textile materials with important mechanical characteristics can be inflated at high pressure. The aim of the paper is to present experimental, analytical and numerical results on the deflections of highly inflated fabric tubes submitted to bending loads. Experiments are displayed and we show that tube behaviour looks like that of inflatable panels (Thin-Walled Struct. 40 (2002) 523–536). Equilibrium equations are once again written in the deformed state to take into account the geometrical stiffness and the following forces. The influence of the shear stress cannot be neglected and Timoshenko’s beam theory is used. A new inflatable tube theory is established and simple analytical formulas are given for a cantilever-inflated tube. Comparisons between analytical and experimental results are shown. A new inflatable finite tube element is constructed by use of algebraic operations, because the compliance matrix of the cantilever beam is not symmetric. Comparisons between experimental, analytical and numerical results prove the accuracy of this beam theory and on this new finite element for solving problems on the deflections of highly inflated tubes.

为了有效改善大跨度桥梁中管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件的耐久性的问题,提出采用耐候钢代替普通钢的管翼缘箱型截面梁。同时,为了研究耐候钢管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件填充混凝土后在全熔透和部分熔透条件下的单轴承载力性能,开展了焊接矩形截面在三种不同焊缝熔深下的耐候钢管混凝土截面轴压短柱试验研究。分别测试每个试件在单轴压力作用下的静态应变、动态应变,以及竖向位移和侧向位移。对比构件承载力的试验结果及理论分析结果,得出不同熔深下焊接箱型截面管翼缘组合构件的承载力性能。研究结果表明:1）耐候钢管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件的全熔透焊缝承载力高于部分熔透焊缝承载力。2）全熔透试件开裂时的竖向位移较部分熔透试件的位移值大,而不同熔深下构件的横向位移测点L4随轴压荷载的增大而有增加,L3测点横向位移规律不明显。3）不同耐候钢管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件横向整体受拉,局部在顶部角部位置受压。构件的混凝土内部和钢板表面应变情况复杂,规律不明显。
