Diffusion coefficients of natural gas in foamy oil systems under high pressures

The diffusion coefficient of natural gas in foamy oil is one of the key parameters to evaluate the feasibility of gas injection for enhanced oil recovery in foamy oil reservoirs. In this paper, a PVT cell was used to measure diffusion coefficients of natural gas in Venezuela foamy oil at high pressures, and a new method for deter- mining the diffusion coefficient in the foamy oil was de- veloped on the basis of experimental data. The effects of pressure and the types of the liquid phase on the diffusion coefficient of the natural gas were discussed. The results indicate that the diffusion coefficients of natural gas in foamy oil, saturated oil, and dead oil increase linearly with increasing pressure. The diffusion coefficient of natural gas in the foamy oil at 20 MPa was 2.93 times larger than that at 8.65 MPa. The diffusion coefficient of the natural gas in dead oil was 3.02 and 4.02 times than that of the natural gas in saturated oil and foamy oil when the pressure was 20 MPa. However, the gas content of foamy oil was 16.9 times higher than that of dead oil when the dissolution time and pressure were 20 MPa and 35.22 h, respectively.

Modeling of fluid dynamics interacting with ductile fraction propagation in high pressure pipeline

This paper presents a computational model for the fluid dynamics in a fractured ductile pipe under high pressure. The pressure profile in front of the crack tip, which is the driving source of crack propagation, is computed using a nonlinear wave equation. The solution is coupled with a one dimensional choked flow analysis behind the crack. The simulation utilizes a high order optimized prefactored compact-finite volume method in space, and low dispersion and dissipation Runge-Kutta in time. As the pipe fractures the rapid depressurization take place inside the pipe and the propagation of the crack-induced waves strongly influences the outflow dynamics. Consistent with the experimental observation, the model predicts the expansion wave inside the pipe, and the reflection and outflow of the wave. The model also helps characterize the propagation of the crack dynamics and fluid flows around the tip of the crack.

动态高压微射流协同糖基化处理对β-乳球蛋白热稳定性和结构的影响

采用动态高压微射流(dynamic high pressure microfluidization,DHPM)协同葡聚糖糖基化处理对β-乳球蛋白(β-lactoglobulin,β-Lg)进行改性,研究其热稳定性和结构的变化。结果表明,β-Lg的峰顶温度为73. 48℃,经DHPM不同压力(40、80、120 MPa)处理后,其热稳定性先下降后上升,但经DHPM协同糖基化处理后,其热稳定性均呈上升趋势。理化分析结果显示,80 MPa DHPM协同糖基化处理的β-Lg具有最低的游离氨基酸含量(2. 20 mg/m L)和最高的褐变程度(A294=1. 092,A420=0. 062),说明DHPM预处理可以促进β-Lg-葡聚糖的糖基化反应,且80 MPa为最佳处理压力。结构分析表明,DHPM处理可明显提高β-Lg的表面疏水性和自由巯基含量,降低其内源荧光强度,使其发生二级结构变化。经DHPM协同糖基化处理后,β-Lg的表面疏水性有所降低,但仍高于天然β-Lg的表面疏水;自由巯基含量呈现先降低后升高趋势,在80 MPa时明显高于天然β-Lg,内源荧光强度随着压力的增加呈先降低后上升的趋势,但均明显低于天然β-Lg的内源荧光强度。因此,DHPM 80 MPa预处理样品具有最高的热稳定性和糖基化程度,且β-Lg的糖基化程度越高,其热稳定性越好。

Dynamic fracture toughness of high strength metals under impact loading:increase or decrease

An elusive phenomenon is observed in previous investigations on dynamic fracture that the dynamic fracture toughness （DFT） of high strength metals always increases with the loading rate on the order of TPa.m1/2.s-1. For the purpose of verification, variation of DFT with the loading rate for two high strength steels commonly used in the aviation industry, 30CrMnSiA and 40Cr, is studied in this work. Results of the experiments are compared, which were conducted on the modified split Hopkinson pressure bar （SHPB） apparatus, with striker velocities ranging from 9.2 to 24.1 m/s and a constant value of 16.3 m/s for 30CrMnSiA and 40Cr, respectively. It is observed that for 30CrMnSiA, the crack tip loading rate increases with the increase of the striker velocity, while the fracture initiation time and the DFT simultaneously decrease. However, in the tests of 40Cr, there is also an increasing tendency of DFT, similar to other reports. Through an in-depth investigation on the relationship between the dynamic stress intensity factor （DSIF） and the loading rate, it is concluded that the generally increasing tendency in previous studies could be false, which is induced from a limited striker velocity domain and the errors existing in the experimental and numerical processes. To disclose the real dependency of DFT on the loading rate, experimentsneed to be performed in a comparatively large striker velocity range.

汽轮机高中压转子轴承油碳化摩擦振动分析

分析3种机型的4台汽轮机运行中高、中压转子出现的间断性振动现象,认为其主要原因为汽轮机高、中压转子轴承油挡处润滑油碳化物积聚,并与转轴发生碰磨而产生摩擦振动,即所谓的油碳化摩擦振动。当磨掉高出油挡齿部分的碳化物使转轴脱离碰磨后,转子振动逐步恢复正常,而产生新的碳化物积聚到一定程度,转子又开始出现摩擦振动,过一段时间转子振动又趋于正常,周而复始形成循环。这种异常振动现象易于出现在高中压分缸的大型汽轮发电机组高、中压转子轴承上。

Magnetovolume and chemical bonding effects of Ni atom in γ'-(Fe_1-xNi_x)_4N compounds

By X-ray diffraction and high pressure Mossbauer spectroscopy, the structure and the hyperfine parameters of Ni substituted γ-Fe4N were investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction indicate that single phase γ’-(Fe1-xNix)4N compounds can be prepared in the composition range of 0≤x≤0.6, and with the increase of Ni content the lattice parameter is fit for the relationship a0(x) = 3.790 5-0.021 57x-0.031 67x2. By high pressure Mossbauer spectra, effects of magnetovolume and chemical bonding of Ni atom on hyperfine magnetic field and isomer shift of iron were distinguished for the first time, and their composition dependences for different lattice sites were studied simultaneously. It is found that the magnetovolume and chemical bonding have different influences on the properties of γ’-(Fe1-xNix)4N, and the latter one plays a key role in the property changes of γ-(Fe1-xNix)4N.
