The streamline upwind finite element method is used for the analysis of thermal viscous flow in the fluid region, whereas the analysis of heat conduction in solid region is performed by the Galerkin method. The method uses the three-node triangular element with equal-order interpolation functions for all the variables of the velocity components, the pressure and the temperature. The main advantage of the proposed method is to consistently couple heat transfer along the fluid-solid interface. Three test cases, i.e. conjugate Couette flow problem in parallel plate channel, counter-flow in heat exchanger, and conjugate natural convection in a square cavity with a conducting wall, are selected to evaluate the efficiency of the present method.展开更多

The cooling air entered the cooling channel from the bottom of the blade and went out from the top, it was not ejected into the main flow. This paper used different numerical conditions including different turbulence models,turbulence intensities,thermal conduction coefficients and the influence on fluid property via temperature variation. The temperature distribution and pressure distribution of the blade were compared with experimental data. The results show that the numerical results using different turbulence models are almost identical to experimental data even little deviation occurs at shock wave location. The trends of temperature distribution under different numerical conditions are coincident to experimental data,especially Reynolds stress turbulence model. It can be concluded that anisotropic turbulence models can simulate the transition from laminar to turbulence,and the influence of turbulence intensity on laminar region and transition region is more than that on developed turbulent region.展开更多

Compared to the traditional loosely-coupled algorithm, the computational efficiency is further improved with the greatly reduced update frequency of the flow field, and moreover the update step of the flow field can be reasonably determined by using the engineering empirical formula of the Nusselt number based on the changes of the inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Taking a duct heated by inner forced air flow heating process as an example, the comparing results to the tightly-coupled transient calculation by Fluent software shows that the new algorithm can significantly improve the computational efficiency with a reasonable accuracy on the transient temperature distribution, such as the computing time is reduced to 22,8% and 40% while the duct wall temperature deviation are 7% and 5% respectively using two flow update time step of 100 s and 50 s on the variable inlet-flow rate conditions.展开更多

Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide (TGO) appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.展开更多

文摘As turbine inlet temperature gets higher and higher,thermal barrier coating(TBC) is more and more widely used in turbine blades.For turbine blades with TBC,it is of great significance to evaluate the temperature distribution of its substrate metal quickly and accurately,especially during the design stage.With different degrees of simplification such as whether to consider the change of the geometric size of the fluid domain by TBC and whether to consider the planar heat conduction in TBC,three different methods used in conjugate heat transfer(CHT) simulation to model the TBC of the turbine blades have been developed and widely used by researchers.However,little research has been conducted to investigate the influence of the three methods on the temperature distribution of turbine blade.To fill this gap,three geometric models were designed.They are a solid conduction model with a substrate metal layer and a TBC layer,a transonic turbine vane with internal cooling and TBC,and a plate cylindrical film hole cooling model with TBC.Different methods were used in these geometric models and their differences were carefully analyzed and discussed.The result shows that for the conduction model used in this paper,with the same TBC surface temperature distribution,the difference between the three methods is very small and can be ignored.For a transonic turbine vane with internal cooling,regarding the local maximum temperature of the substrate-TBC interface,the largest difference between the method in which TBC is considered as a thermal resistance or a virtual layer of cells and the method in which three-dimensional heat conduction equation of TBC is solved occurs at the trailing edge.The difference near the leading edge is below 2K.When employed to the film cooling model,the difference of the laterally averaged temperature of the substrate-TBC interface can be 8 K which is mainly due to the change of the length to diameter ratio of the film cooling hole by TBC.If the substrate thickness is reduced by the thickness of TBC when three-dimensional heat conduction equation of TBC is solved,the temperature difference between the three methods will be quite limited.

文摘As a new type of environmental pollutant,antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)pose a huge challenge to global health.Horizontal gene transfer(HGT)represents an important route for the spread of ARGs.The widespread use of sulfamethazine(SM2)as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent leads to high residual levels in the environment,thereby increasing the spread of ARGs.Therefore,we chose to study the effect of SM2 on the HGT of ARGs mediated by plasmid RP4 from Escherichia coli(E.coli)HB101 to E.coli NK5449 as well as its mechanism of action.The results showed that compared with the control group,SM2 at concentrations of 10 mg/L and 200 mg/L promoted the HGT of ARGs,but transfer frequency decreased at concentrations of 100 mg/L and 500 mg/L.The transfer frequency at 200 mg/L was 3.04×10^(−5),which was 1.34-fold of the control group.The mechanism of SM2 improving conjugation transfer is via enhancement of the mRNA expression of conjugation genes(trbBP,trfAP)and oxidative stress genes,inhibition of the mRNA expression of vertical transfer genes,up regulation of the outer membrane protein genes(ompC,ompA),promotion of the formation of cell pores,and improvement of the permeability of cell membrane to promote the conjugation transfer of plasmid RP4.The results of this study provide theoretical support for studying the spread of ARGs in the environment.

文摘The activated sludge process is characterized by high microbial density and diversity,both of which facilitate antibiotic resistance gene transfer.Many studies have suggested that antibiotic and non-antibiotic drugs at sub-inhibitory concentrations are major inducers of conjugative gene transfer.The self-transmissible plasmid pND6-2 is one of the endogenous plasmids harbored in Pseudomonas putida ND6,which can trigger the transfer of another co-occurring naphthalene-degrading plasmid pND6-1.Therefore,to illustrate the potential influence of stimulants on conjugative transfer of pND6-2,we evaluated the effects of four antibiotics (ampicillin,gentamycin,kanamycin,and tetracycline) and naphthalene,on the conjugal transfer efficiency of pND6-2 by filter-mating experiment.Our findings demonstrated that all stimulants within an optimal dose promoted conjugative transfer of pND6-2from Pseudomonas putida GKND6 to P.putida KT2440,with tetracycline being the most effective (100μg/L and 10μg/L),as it enhanced pND6-2-mediated intra-genera transfer by approximately one hundred-fold.Subsequently,seven AS reactors were constructed with the addition of donors and different stimulants to further elucidate the conjugative behavior of pND6-2 in natural environment.The stimulants positively affected the conjugal process of pND6-2,while donors reshaped the host abundance in the sludge.This was likely because stimulant addition enhanced the expression levels of conjugation transfer-related genes.Furthermore,Blastocatella and Chitinimonas were identified as the potential receptors of plasmid pND6-2,which was not affected by donor types.These findings demonstrate the positive role of sub-inhibitory stimulant treatment on pND6-2 conjugal transfer and the function of donors in re-shaping the host spectrum of pND6-2.

文摘A novel building integrated photovoltaic thermal(BIPVT)roofing panel has been designed considering both solar energy harvesting efficiency and thermal performance.The thermal system reduces the operating temperature of the cells by means of a hydronic loop integrated into the backside of the panel,thus resulting in maintaining the efficiency of the solar panels at their feasible peak while also harvesting the generated heat for use in the building.The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated using physical experiments by conducting case studies to investigate the energy harvesting efficiency,thermal performance of the panel,and temperature differences of inlet/outlet working liquid with various liquid flow rates.The physical experiments have been simulated by coupling the finite element method(FEM)and finite volume method(FVM)for heat and mass transfer in the operation.Results show that the thermal system successfully reduced the surface temperature of the solar module from 88℃to as low as 55℃.Accordingly,the output power that has been decreased from 14.89 W to 10.69 W can be restored by 30.2%to achieve 13.92 W.On the other hand,the outlet water from this hydronic system reaches 45.4℃which can be used to partially heat domestic water use.Overall,this system provides a versatile framework for the design and optimization of the BIPVT systems.

文摘In this paper,we present a unified finite volume method preserving discrete maximum principle(DMP)for the conjugate heat transfer problems with general interface conditions.We prove the existence of the numerical solution and the DMP-preserving property.Numerical experiments show that the nonlinear iteration numbers of the scheme in[24]increase rapidly when the interfacial coefficients decrease to zero.In contrast,the nonlinear iteration numbers of the unified scheme do not increase when the interfacial coefficients decrease to zero,which reveals that the unified scheme is more robust than the scheme in[24].The accuracy and DMP-preserving property of the scheme are also veri ed in the numerical experiments.

文摘By investigating heat transfer and flow structures of dimples,orthogonal ribs,and V-shaped ribs in the impingement/effusion cooling,the article is dedicated to selecting a best-performing internal cooling structure for a turbine vane.The overall cooling effectiveness and coolant consumption are adopted to evaluate the cooling performance.To analyze the influence of structural modification,the flow field is investigated on chordwise/spanwise sections and the target surface.The blockage effect on crossflow can protect jet flow,resulting in higher heat transfer performance of the target surface.Ribs own a stronger blockage effect than dimples.Compared with the blockage effect,the influence of the rib shape is negligible.By installing dimples between ribs,heat transfer is augmented further.The introduction of ribs/dimples leads to higher discharge coefficients of jet nozzles but lower discharge coefficients of film holes.Thus,the film cooling deteriorates.Meanwhile,the installation of the ribs and dimples decreases total coolant consumption.The effect of ribs/dimples on heat transfer and effusion condition of internal and external cooling is analyzed.The best-performing cooling structure is the target surface with dimples and orthogonal ribs,which decreases the wall temperature and coolant consumption by 14.57-28.03 K and 1.19%-1.81%respectively.This article concludes the flow mechanism for dimples and influence factors on the cooling performance,which may serve as guidance for the turbine vane design.

文摘Ceramic matrix composite(CMC),with higher thermal limit and lower density relative to the superalloy,is regarded as the most important structural material for modern gas turbine engines.However,the anisotropic thermal conductivities caused by the weave patterns totally change the thermal conduction performance inside the solid domain.Therefore,the present study aims to use the infrared thermographic to measure the SiC/SiC composite platform with staggered effusion holes along with the superalloy platform.CMC platform is prepared by 2-D plain weave braid structure with chemical vapor infiltration(CVI)process.The temperature of mainstream is 900 K to match the real mainstream to coolant temperature ratio(T_(g)/T_(c)=1.5,2.1).The experimental was conducted with seven mass flow ratios(MFR=1.5%-4.5%).The results indicate that the thermal conductivity along the thickness direction is of great importance for the CMC platform.The superalloy platform obtains higher level of overall cooling effectiveness than CMC at T_(g)/T_(c)=1.5.However,the CMC platform achieves greater overall cooling effectiveness relative to superalloy at T_(g)/T_(c)=2.1.In addition,CMC platform presents enhanced uniformity of overall cooling effectiveness due to the larger in-plane thermal conductivity.

文摘A unified solution framework is proposed for efficiently solving conjugate fluid and solid heat transfer problems.The unified solution is solely governed by the compressible Navier-Stokes(N-S)equations in both fluid and solid domains.Such method not only provides the computational capability for solid heat transfer simulations with existing successful N-S flow solvers,but also can relax time-stepping restrictions often imposed by the interface conditions for conjugate fluid and solid heat transfer.This paper serves as Part I of the proposed unified solution framework and addresses the handling of solid heat conduction with the nondimensional N-S equations.Specially,a parallel,adaptive high-order discontinuous Galerkin unified solver has been developed and applied to solve solid heat transfer problems under various boundary conditions.

文摘To study the temperature distribution and thermal-stress field in different service stages, a two-dimensional model of a turbine blade with thermal barrier coatings is developed, in which the conjugate heat transfer analysis and the decoupled thermal-stress calculation method are adopted. Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide (TGO) appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.
文摘The overall operating cost of the modern gas turbines is greatly influenced by thedurability of hot section components operating at high temperatures.In turbine operatingconditions,some defects may occur which can decrease hot section life.In the present paper,methods used for calculating blade temperature and life are demonstrated and validated.Usingthese methods,a set of sensitivity analyses on the parameters affecting temperature and life ofa high pressure,high temperature turbine first stage blade is carried out.Investigateduncertainties are:(1)blade coating thickness,(2)coolant inlet pressure and temperature(asa result of secondary air system),and(3)gas turbine load variation.Results show thatincreasing thermal bamier coating thickness by 3 times,leads to rise in the blade life by 9times.In addition,considering inlet cooling temperature and pressure,deviation in temperaturehas greater effect on blade life.One of the interesting points that can be realized from theresults is that 300 hours operation at 70%load can be equal to one hour operation atbase load.

文摘The global dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs),especially via plasmid-mediated horizontal transfer,is becoming a pervasive health threat.While our previous study found that herbicides can accelerate the horizontal gene transfer(HGT)of ARGs in soil bacteria,the underlying mechanisms by which herbicides promote the HGT of ARGs across and within bacterial genera are still unclear.Here,the underlying mechanism associ-ated with herbicide-promoted HGT was analyzed by detecting intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)production,extracellular polymeric substance composition,cell membrane integrity and proton motive force combined with genome-wide RNA sequencing.Exposure to herbicides induced a series of the above bacterial responses to promote HGT except for the ROS response,including compact cell-to-cell contact by enhancing pilus-encoded gene expression and decreasing cell surface charge,increasing cell membrane permeability,and enhancing the proton motive force,providing additional power for DNA uptake.This study provides a mechanistic understanding of the risk of bacterial resistance spread promoted by herbicides,which elucidates a new perspective on nonantibiotic agrochemical acceleration of the HGT of ARGs.
