丁羟推进剂药浆流平性能实验与模拟

为研究表观黏度及屈服应力对丁羟推进剂药浆流平性的影响,文中对丁羟推进剂药浆进行了流平性实验,并提出滞止角的概念来表征药浆的流平性,得出药浆屈服应力对滞止角的影响规律。同时采用Carreau黏度模型模拟了药浆流平过程并与实验结果进行了对比,并通过计算软件Flow3D定量表征了丁羟推进剂药浆的表观黏度、屈服应力单变量对流平性的影响。结果表明,丁羟推进剂药浆的流动角度与药浆流平时间的对数满足线性关系;不同时刻药浆流动角度的数值模拟与实验结果误差在5%以内,内侧流到终点的时间相差小于10%,验证了Carreau黏度模型求解药浆流平过程的可行性。丁羟推进剂药浆的表观黏度是影响流平速度的主要参数,当表观黏度由400 Pa·s增大到1000 Pa·s时,药浆流平所需时间由277s延长到871s;屈服应力决定了药浆流平结束时滞止角的大小,当屈服应力由60Pa增大到120Pa时,滞止角由8.69°增大到14.98°,相应增加了72.4%。

Directional Breeding of High Itaconic Acid Yielding Strain of <i>Aspergillus terreus</i>with a New Plate Technique

Itaconic acid is commercially produced by the cultivation of Aspergillus terreus using starch hydrolysate as carbon source. The degree of hydrolysis had a great influence on itaconic acid production which was suitable when corn starch was saccharified at 35 DE. The α-amylase was sufficient to drive the starch hydrolysis to the degree. The agar plate assay with LiCl treatment provided a rapid, simple and unequivocal method for screening large numbers of colonies for itaconic acid producing strains. It was learned by experience that the strains on the plates with thick hyphae and light-colored spores often accompanied high itaconic acid production. A strain, designated Ast165, producing itaconic acid with a high yield, was successfully obtained by directional breeding of metabolic end products resistant strains. The itaconic acid concentration produced by Ast165 was 53.8 g/l from 100 g/l of starch hydrolysate in shake flasks. The conversion rate was 61.3%, which was the highest value found in tests.
