In this paper, a commercial program （ABAQUS） was used to simulate the temperature field in turbine rotor, and the influence of heat treatment parameters on temperature was investigated by finite element method. Weight analysis shows that the holding temperature and heating rate are the main factors affecting on temperature, especially the holding temperature. Besides, two regression equations that reflect the relationship between temperature and heat treatment parameters were fitted with uniform design method. Both the correlation coefficients of the regression equations are up to O. 999 2, and the maximum residual error is only O. 7. The agreement between simulation results and regression results is shown to be excellent. At the end, local heat treatment parameters were optimized using the simplex method.展开更多

The parameters that were evaluated are the effects of adding a second rotor, wind speed, distance between the two rotors, the size of the front rotor and the shroud. The results were obtained by using the Solid Works 2015 flow simulation program. Also, the benefits and cost issues for wind generating systems are illustrated.展开更多

The universal rotatable composite design is adopted to get the highly precise regression equations, in which the variables are combing roller speed and yarn linear density considered to be the main technological parameters of combing roller and, the responses are the evaluation indexes concerning spinning stability, fiber length distribution of fibre ring from rotor groove and yarn properties. Based on these regression equations, the contours are plotted to analyse the influences of the parameters on the evaluation indexes; the optimization multicriteria mathematical model is simultaneously established to obtain the optimum parameters with the aid of Object Programming Approach along with Constrained Random Ray Method. Finally, an experiment is carried out to further test the acceptance of the calculated optimum values. It is shown that, for any yarn linear density within 6—13 Ne (98.4—45.4 tex), combing roller speed varying from 5000 to 9150 r/min affects content of extra-long fibre in fibre ring from rotor groove and yarn properties but does not significantly influence spinning stability; 7075 r/min, at which the SAQ-12 type of saw-toothed combing roller runs, is recommended to be the optimum combing roller speed for producing 6—13 Ne (98.4—45.4 tex) pure ramie noil yarns, where a compromise is achieved among the lowest content of extra-long fibre in fibre ring, the best spinning stability and the best yarn properties.展开更多
