Influence of nanoparticle concentrations on flow boiling heat transfer coefficients of Al_2O_3/R141b in micro heat exchanger by direct metal laser sintering

Al2O3/R141b ＋ Span-80 nanorefrigerant for 0.05 wt.% to 0.4 wt.% is prepared by ultrasonic vibration to investigate the influence of nanoparticle concentrations on flow boiling heat transfer of Al2O3/R141b ＋ Span-80 in micro heat exchanger by direct metal laser sintering. Experimental results show that nanoparticle concentrations have significantly impact on heat transfer coefficients by homogeneity test of variances according to mathematical statistics. The heat transfer performance of Al2O3/R141b ＋ Span-80 nanorefrigerant is enhanced after adding nanoparticles in the pure refrigerant R141b. The heat transfer coefficients of 0.05 wt.%, 0.1 wt.%, 0.2 wt.%, 0.3 wt.% and 0.4 wt.% Al2O3/R141 b ＋ Span-80 nanorefrigerant respectively increase by 55.0% 72.0%, 53.0% 42.3% and 39.9% compared with the pure refrigerant R141b. The particle fluxes from viscosity gradient, non-uniform shear rate and Brownian motion cause particles to migrate in fluid especially in the process of flow boiling. This migration motion enhances heat transfer between nanoparticles and fluid. Therefore, the heat transfer performance of nanofluid is enhanced. It is important to note that the heat transfer coefficients nonlinearly increase with nanoparticle concentrations increasing. The heat transfer coefficients reach its maximum value at the mass concentration of 0.1% and then it decreases slightly. There exists an optimal mass concentration corresponding to the best heat transfer enhancement. The reason for the above phenomenon is attributed to nanoparticles deposition on the minichannel wall by Scanning Electron Microscopy observation. The channel surface wettability increases during the flow boiling experiment in the mass concentration range from 0.2 wt.% to 0.4 wt.%. The channel surface with wettability increasing needs more energy to produce a bubble. Therefore, the heat transfer coefficients decrease with nanopartide concentrations in the range from 0.2 wt.% to 0.4 wt.%. In addition, a new correlation has been proposed by fitting the experimental data considering the influence of mass concentrations on the heat trans- fer performance. The new correlation can effectively predict the heat transfer coefficient.

Stress concentration coefficients of optimized cope-hole welded detail

The fatigue performance of optimized welded detail has been investigated by fatigue experiments of three welded specimens under different loadings.In addition,local finite element models of this welded detail were established using finite element software ANSYS.The influences of different factors such as plate thickness,plate gap and initial geometric imperfections on the stress concentration coefficient(SCC) were discussed.The experimental results indicate that the fatigue life of three specimens for this welded detail is 736,000,1,044,200 and 1,920,300 times,respectively.The web thickness,the filler plate thickness and the initial geometric imperfection have relatively less effect on the SCCs of this welded detail.However,cope-hole radius is influential on the SCCs of the web and the weld.The SCC of weld is significantly affected by the weld size and plate gap,but the SCCs of other parts of the welded detail are hardly affected by the plate gap.

Experimental Study on the Chloride Ion Concentration of Cement Pastes Prepared with Limestone Powder

To investigate the impact of limestone powder on the chloride ion concentration coefficient of cement pastes,various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),and mercury-porosimetry(MIP)were employed in this paper.The findings demonstrate that the creation of Friedel's salt is inversely associated with the addition of limestone powder,that is,Friedel's salt production is lessened by adding more limestone powder,however,the coefficient of chloride ion concentration initially decreased and then increased again,as does the porosity,and most likely the pore size as well.The specific surface area of limestone powder has increased,and the content of Friedel’s salt increased first and then decreased.However,the shifting trend of Friedel's salt and chloride ion concentration coefficient is in direct opposition,and the pore structure was therefore significantly enhanced.The results of this study offer robust theoretical backing for the inclusion of limestone powder in concrete and provide a positive assessment of its potential applications.

Distribution of Expenditures for Research and Development-Dynamic Analysis Based on Composite Concentration Coefficients

The dynamic analysis of distribution of expenditures for research and development aims to identify concentration tendencies in this domain.The analysis is performed by calculating composite concentration coefficients,as these coefficients allow simultaneous(synthesized)expression of existing concentrations in cases where multiple criteria for expressing concentration exist.In this work,the observation was made on a respectable sample of 52 countries in the period from 1997 to 2021.The following variables are included in the analysis:population,gross domestic product,gross domestic product per capita,gross domestic expenditure on research and development absolutely and per capita and human development index.Composite concentration coefficients were derived based on previously calculated concentration coefficients according to the criteria of population size and gross domestic product,gross domestic product per inhabitant and social development index.Calculation of composite concentration coefficients was performed by extrapolation based on standardized regression coefficients from the corresponding regression models.Based on the conducted analysis and obtained results,it can be concluded that a relatively high concentration of gross expenditures for research and development is evident,which has been significantly reduced in the observed time period.

Zonal disintegration phenomenon in enclosing rock mass surrounding deep tunnels—mechanism and discussion of characteristic parameters

The mechanism of the zonal disintegration phenomenon(ZDP) was realized based on the analysis of the stressedstrained state of the rock mass in the vicinity of the maximum stress zone, which resides in the creep instability failure of rock mass due to the development of a plastic zone and transfer of the maximum stress zone within the rock mass.Some characteristic parameters of the ZDP are discussed theoretically.In first instance, the analytical critical depth condition for the occurrence of ZDP was obtained, which depends on the characteristics and stress concentration coefficient of the rock mass.Secondly, based on creep theory, the expression of the outer radius of the undisturbed zones in the deep rock mass was obtained with the use of an improved Burgers rheological model, which indicated that the radius depends on the characteristics of the rock mass and the depth of excavation and increases quasi-linearly with the rise of creep compliance of the rock mass.Finally, the formula for the distance of the most remote fissured zone away from the working periphery was derived, which increases logarithmically with the increase in the ratio of the in-situ stress and ultimate strength of rock mass.The distances between fissured zones are discussed in qualitative terms.

Zonal disintegration phenomenon in rock mass surrounding deep tunnels

Zonal disintegration is a typical static phenomenon of deep rock masses. It has been defined as alternating regions of fractured and relatively intact rock mass that appear around or in front of the working stope during excavation of a deep tunnel. Zonal disintegration phenomenon was successfully demonstrated in the laboratory with 3D tests on analogous gypsum models, two circular cracked zones were observed in the test. The linear Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion was used with a constitutive model that showed linear softening and ideal residual plastic to analyze the elasto-plastic field of the enclosing rock mass around a deep tunnel. The results show that tunneling causes a maximum stress zone to appear between an elastic and plastic zone in the surrounding rock. The zonal disintegration phenomenon is analyzed by considering the stress-strain state of the rock mass in the vicinity of the maximum stress zone. Creep instability failure of the rock due to the development of the plastic zone, and transfer of the maximum stress zone into the rock mass, are the cause of zonal disintegration. An analytical criterion for the critical depth at which zonal disintegration can occur is derived. This depth depends mainly on the character and stress concentration coefficient of the rock mass.

Effect of surfactant type on interfacial area and liquid mass transfer for CO_2 absorption in a bubble column

The effect of different surfactants(n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide(OTABr),sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) and Tween 80) with different critical micelle concentrations(CMC) on the CO_2 absorption into aqueous solutions in a bubble column is analyzed in the present work.The presence of these surfactants increased the gas-liquid interfacial area,and decreased the liquid phase mass transfer coefficient,but with significant different extent.The results indicated that the CMC can be a key parameter affecting the mass transfer of CO_2 absorption into a dilute aqueous solution of a surfactant.Sardeing's model was used to fit the experimental data successfully by re-correlating the parameters.

Mechanism of zonal disintegration phenomenon in enclosing rock mass around deep tunnels

In order to study the mechanism of the zonal disintegration phenomenon(ZDP),both experimental and theoretical investigations were carried out.Firstly,based on the similarity law,gypsum was chosen as equivalent material to simulate the deep rock mass,the excavation of deep tunnel was modeled by drilling a hole in the gypsum models,two circular cracked zones were measured in the model,and ZDP in the enclosing rock mass around deep tunnel was simulated in 3D gypsum model tests.Secondly, based on the elasto-plastic analysis of the stressed-strained state of the surrounding rock mass with the improved Hoek-Brown strength criterion and the bilinear constitutive model,the maximum stress zone occurred in vicinity of the elastic-plastic interface due to the excavation of the deep tunnel,rock material in maximum stress zone is in the approximate uniaxial loading state owing to the larger tangential force and smaller radial force,the mechanism of ZDP was explained,which lay in the creep instability failure of rock mass due to the development of plastic zone and transfer of the maximum stress zone within the rock mass.Thirdly,the analytical critical depth for the occurrence of ZDP was obtained,which depended on the mechanical indices and stress concentration coefficient of rock mass.

RESEARCH OF A HIGH EFFICIENCY SLIDING SCREW DRIVER

A high efficiency sliding screw driver is introduced. It can improve drivingefficiency obviously. As the material strength of the nut in this structure is low and the nut isthe most dangerous part, so it is important to master the structure's characters of deformation andstress. The deformation and stress of this structure are researched by finite element method(FEM),and the changing law of stress concentration coefficient of the structure is gained. So the exactstress of nut teeth with highest load can be calculated directly based on this result.

A Model for the Determination of Semi-Circular Spot Corrosion Damage and Residual Strength in Oil Pipes

Pitting corrosion often occurs due to the presence of various corrosive substances,such as CO_(2) and H_(2)S,in the pipe service environment.As a result of this process,the residual strength of oil pipes is reduced and this can compromise the integrity of the entire pipe string.In the present work,a model is introduced on the basis of the API579 standard to determine the so-called stress concentration coefficient.The model accounts for pitting corrosion shapes such as shallow semi-circles,semi-circles,and deep semi-circles.The relationship between the corrosion pit depth and opening diameter and the residual strength of the oil casing is obtained.The results show that the influence of the pit opening diameter on the stress concentration coefficient is smaller than that of the pit depth.For a constant pit opening diameter,the coefficient increases gradually with increasing the pit depth.The compressive strength and internal pressure strength of the carbon steel oil casing decrease accordingly.When the depth of the corrosion pit is relatively small,the growth of the coefficient is slower;when the depth of the corrosion pit increases to a certain value,the increase in stress concentration coefficient becomes obvious.

A new measurement method for radial permeability and porosity of shale

To more conveniently and accurately obtain the radial permeability of shale,a new measurement method was proposed for the pressure attenuation of radial permeability and porosity in shale.Through experiments,this method could be used to get the pressure attenuation curve in annular space between the core and inner wall of PVT vessel under the helium along shale radial flow.Accordingly,a mathematical model was established to obtain the semi-analytical solution between pressure and time in the radial model.Meanwhile,through fitting the experimental results,the concentration conductivity and porosity of shale were obtained,and their relationship was used to derive the radial permeability of shale.This method was adopted to measure the permeability and porosity of two cores under three sets of different initial pressures in the annular space.The permeability test results were compared with those obtained by the conventional Dicker method and Smits pressure-attenuation method,and the porosity test results were also compared with those obtained by the conventional porosimeter,thus the feasibility and superiority of this method were confirmed.In contrast to the conventional pressureattenuation methods,this new model had advantages of simpler instruments and more convenient operation,and was also easy to measure the radial permeability and porosity of shale.

GaN-based LEDs for light communication

Rapid improvement in the efficiency of GaN-based LEDs not only speed up its applications for general illumination, but offer the possibilities for data transmission. This review is to provide an overview of current progresses of GaN-based LEDs for light communications. The modulation bandwidth of GaN-based LEDs has been first improved by optimizing the LED epilayer structures and the modulation bandwidth of 73 MHz was achieved at the driving current density of 40 A/cm2 by changing the multi-quantum well structures. After that, in order to increase the current density tolerance, different parallel flip-chip micro-LED arrays were fabricated. With a high injected current density of ~7900 A/cm2, a maximum modulation bandwidth of ~227 MHz was obtained with optical power greater than 30 mW. Besides the increase of carrier concentrations, the radiative recombination coefficient B was also enhanced by modifying the photon surrounding environment based on some novel nanostructures such as resonant cavity, surface plasmon, and photonic crystals. The optical 3 dB modulation bandwidth of GaN-based nanostructure LEDs with Ag nanoparticles was enhanced by 2 times compared with GaN-based nanostructure LEDs without Ag nanoparticles.Our results demonstrate that using the QW-SP coupling can effectively help to enhance the carrier spontaneous emission rate and also increase the modulation bandwidth for LEDs, especially for LEDs with high intrinsic IQE. In addition, we discuss the progress of the faster color conversion stimulated by GaN-based LEDs.
