Evaluation of the Air Leakage Flowrate in Sintering Processes

Iron ore sintering is a pre-treatment technology by which orefines are converted into porous and permeable sin-ters,which are the used in blast furnaces.This process can be adversely affected by air leakage phenomena of various types.As experimental measurements are relatively difficult and often scarcely reliable,here a theoretical model based on typicalfluid-dynamic concepts and relationships is elaborated.Through the analysis of two extreme cases,namely,those in which leakage is due to a small hole or a full rupture,a generalized hole-bed mod-el is introduced,which for thefirst time also includes a complete bed permeability equation and can deal with different leakage position conditions.The results show that the model can evaluate the influence of leakage on the system at one time and be used to calculate theflowrate and pressure drop.Notably,the obtained results are within a 15%deviation with respect to available experiment values,used for comparison.

A novel coating technology for fast sealing of air leakage in underground coal mines

Air leakage in underground coal mines presents a serious hazard for coal production and the safety of miners.Coating technology is commonly used as an efficient means for preventing air leakage.To address existing problems with high dust concentrations in large operations involving complex processes and the high cost of traditional coating technology,a novel coating technology that ensures intrinsic safety by utilizing water pressure and wind pressure was developed.This new coating technology was designed to suction and spray,and the technical parameters of its spray performance was also studied.The experimental tests and evaluation indicated the optimum working range is 0.3–0.7 MPa of wind pressure,1.2–10.2 L/min of water quantity,and 1.0–3.5 m of spraying distance.Moreover,this novel coating technology was tested in the Dashuitou Coal Mine in Gansu Province of China.Compared with conventional counterparts,the proposed new technology is safe,efficient,and convenient to operate.During spraying,dust concentrations were kept at less than 10 mg/m3,and the average rebound ratio resilient rate of solid materials was below 13%.After spraying,the average leakage every 100 m was 4 m3/min,and the oxygen volume fraction in the adjacent goaf was approximately 4%,demonstrating excellent air leakage prevention.

Experimental research on inorganic solidified foam for sealing air leakage in coal mines

In order to efficiently seal air leakages and control spontaneous combustion of coal, solidified foam was developed by adding a certain compound additive to fly coal ash and cement as the main materials. It was prepared basing on the foaming characteristic through physical and mechanical system. We studied the effects of the different types of foaming agents, the mass ratio of cement to fly ash, and the mass ratio of solid to water and content of cellulose on the performance of solidified foam. The results show that when adding the composite protein, surfactant and cellulose foaming agents. The cement-fly ash ratio of 0.75:1, the water solid ratio as large as 2:1, and the solidified foam with high properties and density of only 516 kg/m 3 and compressive strength of up to 12.68 MPa were prepared. But the initial setting time, identity and compressive strength may be changed by varying the water solid ratio and/or the additives. We theoretically analyzed the influence mechanism of foam density, compressive strength and water solid ratio. The solidified foam is especially suitable for sealing surface leakage channels and filling the goaf with a wide application prospects.

Numerical simulation study of gob air leakage field and gas migration regularity in downlink ventilation

Aiming at the issue that mass of gas emission from mining gob and the gas exceeded in working face, gob air leakage field and gas migration regularity in downlink ventilation was studied. In consideration of the influence of natural wind pressure to analyze the stope face differential pressure, gob air leakage field distribution and gas migration regularity theoretically. Established a two-dimensional physical model with one source and one doab, and applied computational fluid dynamics analysis software Fluent to do numerical simulation, analyzed and contrasted to the areas of gob air leakage on size and gas emission from gob to working face on strength when using the downlink ventilation and uplink ventilation. When applied downward ventilation in stope face, the air leakage field of gob nearly working face, and the air leakage intensity were smaller than uplink, this can effectively reduce the gas emission from gob to working face; when used downlink ventilation, the air leakage airflow carry the lower amount of gas to doab than uplink ventilation, and more easily to mix the gas, reduced the possibility of gas accumulation in upper comer and the stratified flows, it can provide protection to mine with safe and effective production.

An improved lumped parameter model predicting attenuation of earmuff with air leakage

Since air leakage is inevitable when earmuffs are worn improperly or together with safety glasses in factory or military,it is required to be considered to accurately predict earmuff attenuation.Besides unwanted air leakage,under controlled air leakage is introduced to earmuff to achieve adjustable attenuations in different signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs)and balance between attenuation and speech intelligibility.This work is to develop an improved lumped parameter model(LPM)to predict earmuff attenuation with consideration of air leakage.Air leakage paths are introduced into conventional LPM without air leakage,and air leakage path impedance is analytically described by Maa’s microperforated tube impedance.Earmuff passive attenuation behavior can be analytically described and analyzed with the improved LPM.Finally,the validity of improved LPM is verified experimentally.The results indicate that the improved LPM can predict earmuff attenuation with air leakage,and air leakage deteriorates earmuff attenuation and turns resonance frequency higher.

Analysis of mine's air leakage based on pressure gradient matrix between nodes

Air leakage may significantly affect the effectiveness of mine ventilation by in- creasing the cost of ventilation and arousing problems for ventilation management.Fur- thermore,air leakage may accelerate the process of coal spontaneous combustion and cause gas explosion,thus greatly threatens the safety of coal production.The estimation of air leakage,therefore,have great practical significance.For any ventilation system of coal mines,there is a defined pattern of pressure gradient which drived the mine air to flow in the network,drives possible air leakage to go shortcut as well.Air leakage may occur through ventilation structures such as ventilation doors and fractures of the surroun- dig coal and rock of airways.A concept and the relevent calculation method of the pres- sure gradient matrix was put forward to assist the analysis of potential air leakage routes. A simplified example was used to introduce the application principle of'pressure gradient matrix in identifying all the potential air leaking routes,which offers a deeper understand- ing over the ventilation system and the prevention of coal spontaneous combustion.

Energy Saving Technology for Lowering Air Leakage of Sintering Pallets and Dust Collectors in Sinter Plant

The hot-wire type anemometers were used for measuring the velocity of effective air flowing through sinter bed in this study.Meanwhile,microphones were installed beside the pathway and close to the outer sidewall of travelling pallets for monitoring sound pressure generated by an abnormal air leakage.For identifying the passing pallet,a thermal-resistant type RFID technology was adopted.Based on the measured data via anemometers,the air leakage rate of sintering machine was calculated with the mass balance method,and pallets with the abnormal leakage can be detected and ranked in the severity of leakage from the measured sound pressure with the relevant criteria.In addition,for examining the leakage situation,this study set up a capillary type of differential pressure gauge to double cone valve(DCV)below the electrostatic precipitator(EP)in sintering plant for collecting the larger dust.The criteria of determining leaked DCV and the patterns for replacing the DCV were proposed to develop a detecting and predicting system on the air leakage into dust collectors of sinter machine.It offered field staff a basis of maintaining or renewing DCV via a warning reminding and reducing air leakage to increase EP efficiency for avoiding the dust emission from the stack.These technologies had been implemented in the sintering plants of China Steel Corporation,and they can effectively reduce the air leakage rate by5%at least and further decrease the electricity consumption of the suction fan and coke rate,increase the production for the sintering machine.

Pre-placement of adhesive tape around wound sites can prevent air leakage in negative pressure wound therapy procedures

The introduction of negative pressure wound therapy has revolutionized the management of complicated wounds.However,the maintenance of an effective negative pressure environment is difficult in some instances,such as wounds in close proximity to an intestinal stoma or wounds surrounded by external fixations.We found that adhesive tape adheres more easily to itself than to wet skin or uneven surfaces.Therefore,we placed adhesive tape around surgical wounds prior to covering them with foam and sealing them with more tape.As a result of the strong adhesive force between pieces of tape,this method could provide a better environmental seal,even in situations where space is limited.Pre-placed adhesive tape around the wound site prior to foam placement could provide sufficient adhesion to maintain a continuous negative pressure environment during treatment.

Effect of metal powders on explosion of fuel-air explosives with delayed secondary igniters

In order to improve the energy level of fuel air explosive(FAE) with delayed secondary igniters, high energetic metal powders were added to liquid fuels mainly composed of ether and isopropyl nitrate.Metal powders’ explosive properties and reaction mechanisms in FAE were studied by high-speed video,pressure test system, and infrared thermal imager. The results show that compared with pure liquid fuels, the shock wave overpressure, maximum surface fireball temperature and high temperature duration of the mixture were significantly increased after adding high energetic metal powder. The overpressure values of the liquid-solid mixture at all measuring points were higher than that of the pure liquid fuels. And the maximum temperature of the fireball was up to 1700C, which was higher than that of the pure liquid fuels. After replacing 30% of aluminum powder with boron or magnesium hydride, the shock wave pressure of the mixture was further increased. The high heat of combustion of boron and the hydrogen released by magnesium hydride could effectively increase the blast effect of the mixture. The improvement of the explosion performance of boron was better than magnesium hydride. It shows that adding high energetic metal powder to liquid fuels can effectively improve the explosion performance of FAE.
