Results showed that small addition of oxygen to the argon base shielding gas can effectively adjust the oxygen adsorption to the molten pool. An inward Marangoni convection occurs on the pool surface when the oxygen content in the weld pool is over the critical value, 80×10^-6, for pure iron plate under Ar-0.3%O2 mixed shielding. Low oxygen content in the weld pool changes the inward Marangoni to an outward direction under the Ar-0.1%O2 shielding. The GTA weld shape depends to a large extent on the pattern and strength of the Marangoni convection on the pool surface, which is determined by the content of surface active element, oxygen, in the weld pool and the welding parameters. The strength of the Marangoni convection on the liquid pool is a product of the temperature coefficient of the surface tension (dσ/dT) and the temperature gradient (dT/dr) on the pool surface. Different welding parameters will change the temperature distribution and gradient on the pool surface, and therefore, affect the strength of Marangoni convection and the weld shape.展开更多

The essential difference between the previous criterion and the present one is that the former is based on the concentration itself while the latter is based on the variation rate of the concentration, which reflects the mixing efficiency directly. Experiment was carried out in an acrylic glass vessel with bottom blowing, and the tracer concentration was monitored by electrical conductivity probes. The mixing time obtained through the new criterion is approximately 20% less than that obtained through the 95% criterion, and the deviations of mixing times calculated from the new criterion are smaller than that from the previous one under the same conditions.展开更多

However, more oxygen and fuel gas are consumed to achieve excel- lent characteristics of coherent jets, which causes the increase in steelmaking cost. Computational fluid dynamics simulation and experimental measurement of the coherent jets with CH4 + N2 mixed fuel gas were carried out aiming at reducing the consumption of fuel gas. The numerical simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental data. As a result, high proportion of N2 negatively affects the combustion of CH4, which is not good for the protection of oxygen jets. While the gas composition is 75% CH4 + 25% N2, the N2 addition to the CH4 leads to an expanding of CH4 combustion zone, and the energy generated by the combustion reaction could be delivered to the molten bath more efficiently, which is one control scheme with high performance-price ratio.展开更多

Currently, heart preservation is limited to 6 hours of cold ischemic storage. This study explored a new heart preservation method under a high-pressured mixed gas chamber. Methods C57BL/6 male mice were used to establish the model of mice cervical heterotopic heart transplantation. Adult donor mice were randomly divided into three groups subjected to naive operation (Group A), standard control (Group B) and experimental control (Group C). The recipient mice were randomly divided into two groups subjected to standard control and experimental control. Group A: hearts were isolated; Group B: hearts were isolated and preserved in HTK solution at 4 ℃ for 8 h and transplanted; Group C: hearts were isolated and preserved in high pressured gas (PO2:3200 hPa + PCO: 800 hPa = 4000 hPa) at 4 ℃ for 8h and transplanted. After transplantation, the state of re-beating and cardiac function were observed for Group B and C. At 24 h after transplantation, samples were collected for HE staining, cardiac cell apoptosis detection by Tunnel staining and analysis of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) by reverse transcriotion-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results In group C, 15 transplanted hearts were re-beat, while only 6 in Group B. The re-beating rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B [75.0%(15/20) vs. 30.0%(6/20) ,P = 0.01]. The time of re-beating was significantly different between Group B, and C [(352.35 ± 61.07)s vs. (207.85 ± 71.24) s, P 〈 0.011. HE staining showed that pathologic changes such as ceil edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were more obvious in Group B and C than in Group A, but less obvious in Group C compared with Group B. Tunnel staining showed that Group B had more obvious apoptosis than Group A and C. RT-PCR results showed significant increase of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 expression in Group B than Group C (P 〈 0.01, the expression of IL-10 was higher in Group C than that in Group B. Conclusion Highpressured mixed gas (PO2:3200 hPa + PCO: 800 hPa = 4000 hPa) preservation can reduce cold ischemia and reperfusion injury of donor heart, therefore to maintain myocardial viability and prolong preservation time of donor heart.展开更多

The model to be developed and analysis of results obtained in this paper are useful for engineering design in indus- try.展开更多

The Green On-Board Inert Gas Generation System(GOBIGGS) is a novel technology based on flameless catalytic combustion, and owning to its simple structure and high inerting efficiency, it has received a lot of attentions. The inert gas in the GOBIGGS is mainly comprised of CO2, N2, and O2(hereinafter, Mixed Inert Gas(MIG)), while that in the On-Board Inert Gas Generation System(OBIGGS), which is one of the most widely used fuel tank inerting technologies, is NitrogenEnriched Air(NEA). The solubility of CO2 is nearly 20 times higher than that of N2 in jet fuels,so the inerting capability and performance are definitely disparate if the inert gas is selected as NEA or MIG. An inerting test bench was constructed to compare the inerting capabilities between NEA and MIG. Experimental results reveal that, if ullage washing is adopted, the variations of oxygen concentrations on the ullage and in the fuel are nearly identical no matter the inert gas is NEA or MIG. However, the ullage and dissolved oxygen concentrations of MIG scrubbing are always higher than those of NEA scrubbing.展开更多

However, the influence of fuel gas combustion on jet behavior is not fully understood yet. The flow and combustion characteristics of a coherent jet were thus investigated at steelmaking temperature using Fluent software, and a detailed chemical kinetic reaction mecha- nism was used in the combustion reaction model. The axial velocity and total temperature of the supersonic jet were measured via hot state experiments. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data and the empirical jet model proposed by Ito and Muchi and good consistency was obtained. The research results indicated that the potential core length of the coherent jet can be prolonged by optimizing the combustion effect of the fuel gas. Besides, the behavior of the supersonic jet in the subsonic section was also investigated, as it is an important factor for controlling the position of the oxygen lance. The investigation indicated that the attenuation of the coherent jet is more notable than that of the conventional jet in the subsonic section.展开更多

Asphalt mixes produced using low-C aggregate are found to be more energy-efficient and environmental friendly, irrespective of the binder type and construction technology. Therefore, different fractions of aggregate blends were replaced with the aggregate pro- vided from a ]ow-C source or sustainable source. Analysis of energy consumption clearly indicated that the specific energy and environmental footprints decrease linearly as the low-C aggregate content increases. The amount of energy saving realized in the asphalt industries by the use of low-C aggregate is significant on a national scale in China. In this regard, China was chosen as a case study. Analysis of fuel requirement clearly indicated that the production of WMA using high thermal sensitivity aggregate can yield significant energy saving sufficient to fuel 44,007 to 664,880 Chinese households per year. Therefore, use of low C aggregate in asphalt mix production can be adopted as a strategy to produce WMA and HMA.展开更多

文摘Weld shape variation for different welding parameters is investigated on pure iron plate under gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding with argon-oxygen mixed shielding. Results showed that small addition of oxygen to the argon base shielding gas can effectively adjust the oxygen adsorption to the molten pool. An inward Marangoni convection occurs on the pool surface when the oxygen content in the weld pool is over the critical value, 80×10^-6, for pure iron plate under Ar-0.3%O2 mixed shielding. Low oxygen content in the weld pool changes the inward Marangoni to an outward direction under the Ar-0.1%O2 shielding. The GTA weld shape depends to a large extent on the pattern and strength of the Marangoni convection on the pool surface, which is determined by the content of surface active element, oxygen, in the weld pool and the welding parameters. The strength of the Marangoni convection on the liquid pool is a product of the temperature coefficient of the surface tension (dσ/dT) and the temperature gradient (dT/dr) on the pool surface. Different welding parameters will change the temperature distribution and gradient on the pool surface, and therefore, affect the strength of Marangoni convection and the weld shape.

The mixing time obtained through the new criterion is approximately 20% less than that obtained through the 95% criterion, and the deviations of mixing times calculated from the new criterion are smaller than that from the previous one under the same conditions.

文摘Background The maintenance of heart viability is important for heart transplantation. Currently, heart preservation is limited to 6 hours of cold ischemic storage. This study explored a new heart preservation method under a high-pressured mixed gas chamber. Methods C57BL/6 male mice were used to establish the model of mice cervical heterotopic heart transplantation. Adult donor mice were randomly divided into three groups subjected to naive operation (Group A), standard control (Group B) and experimental control (Group C). The recipient mice were randomly divided into two groups subjected to standard control and experimental control. Group A: hearts were isolated; Group B: hearts were isolated and preserved in HTK solution at 4 ℃ for 8 h and transplanted; Group C: hearts were isolated and preserved in high pressured gas (PO2:3200 hPa + PCO: 800 hPa = 4000 hPa) at 4 ℃ for 8h and transplanted. After transplantation, the state of re-beating and cardiac function were observed for Group B and C. At 24 h after transplantation, samples were collected for HE staining, cardiac cell apoptosis detection by Tunnel staining and analysis of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) by reverse transcriotion-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results In group C, 15 transplanted hearts were re-beat, while only 6 in Group B. The re-beating rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B [75.0%(15/20) vs. 30.0%(6/20) ,P = 0.01]. The time of re-beating was significantly different between Group B, and C [(352.35 ± 61.07)s vs. (207.85 ± 71.24) s, P 〈 0.011. HE staining showed that pathologic changes such as ceil edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were more obvious in Group B and C than in Group A, but less obvious in Group C compared with Group B. Tunnel staining showed that Group B had more obvious apoptosis than Group A and C. RT-PCR results showed significant increase of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 expression in Group B than Group C (P 〈 0.01, the expression of IL-10 was higher in Group C than that in Group B. Conclusion Highpressured mixed gas (PO2:3200 hPa + PCO: 800 hPa = 4000 hPa) preservation can reduce cold ischemia and reperfusion injury of donor heart, therefore to maintain myocardial viability and prolong preservation time of donor heart.

The inert gas in the GOBIGGS is mainly comprised of CO2, N2, and O2(hereinafter, Mixed Inert Gas(MIG)), while that in the On-Board Inert Gas Generation System(OBIGGS), which is one of the most widely used fuel tank inerting technologies, is NitrogenEnriched Air(NEA). The solubility of CO2 is nearly 20 times higher than that of N2 in jet fuels,so the inerting capability and performance are definitely disparate if the inert gas is selected as NEA or MIG. An inerting test bench was constructed to compare the inerting capabilities between NEA and MIG. Experimental results reveal that, if ullage washing is adopted, the variations of oxygen concentrations on the ullage and in the fuel are nearly identical no matter the inert gas is NEA or MIG. However, the ullage and dissolved oxygen concentrations of MIG scrubbing are always higher than those of NEA scrubbing.

文摘In order to understand and improve the oil and gas mixing performance of a dual-channel vortex chamber diesel engine,the BH175F dual-channel vortex chamber combustion system was used as the research foundation,and the oil-gas mixture process of the combustion system was numerically analyzed.By analyzing the cylinder temperature,cylinder pressure,mixing process and combustion process of the combustion system,the mixture performance of the combustion system was studied.Results indicated that:The mixture of the compression Top Dead Center(TDC)started to enter the main combustion chamber through the start-up hole;when the piston reached 4°After Top Dead Center(ATDC),the mixture started to enter the main combustion chamber through the connecting channels A and B,and the high-concentration mixture entered the main combustion from the start-up hole;when the piston continued running down to 20°and 25°ATDC,it could be seen that the main combustion chamber mixture was already relatively uniform;besides,when the equivalence ratio was between 0.8 and 1,the air-ftiel mixture was unevenly distributed in the main combustion chamber.It provides guidance for further improvement of the combustion system.

文摘Coherent jets are widely used in electric are furnace (EAF) steelmaking to increase the oxygen utilization and chemical reaction rates. However, the influence of fuel gas combustion on jet behavior is not fully understood yet. The flow and combustion characteristics of a coherent jet were thus investigated at steelmaking temperature using Fluent software, and a detailed chemical kinetic reaction mecha- nism was used in the combustion reaction model. The axial velocity and total temperature of the supersonic jet were measured via hot state experiments. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data and the empirical jet model proposed by Ito and Muchi and good consistency was obtained. The research results indicated that the potential core length of the coherent jet can be prolonged by optimizing the combustion effect of the fuel gas. Besides, the behavior of the supersonic jet in the subsonic section was also investigated, as it is an important factor for controlling the position of the oxygen lance. The investigation indicated that the attenuation of the coherent jet is more notable than that of the conventional jet in the subsonic section.

文摘In this study, the effects of the thermal properties of asphalt binders and aggregate ma- terials were characterized in terms of the specific heat capacity (C) for energy consumption and environmental footprints of hot mix asphalt (HMA) and warm mix asphalt (WMA). Asphalt mixes produced using low-C aggregate are found to be more energy-efficient and environmental friendly, irrespective of the binder type and construction technology. Therefore, different fractions of aggregate blends were replaced with the aggregate pro- vided from a ]ow-C source or sustainable source. Analysis of energy consumption clearly indicated that the specific energy and environmental footprints decrease linearly as the low-C aggregate content increases. The amount of energy saving realized in the asphalt industries by the use of low-C aggregate is significant on a national scale in China. In this regard, China was chosen as a case study. Analysis of fuel requirement clearly indicated that the production of WMA using high thermal sensitivity aggregate can yield significant energy saving sufficient to fuel 44,007 to 664,880 Chinese households per year. Therefore, use of low C aggregate in asphalt mix production can be adopted as a strategy to produce WMA and HMA.
