An improved ignition method with three circumferential equidistributed ignitors at main diaphragm has been presented, by which the produced incident shock waves have higher repeatability, and better steadiness in the pressure, temperature and velocity fields of flow behind the incidence shock, and thus meets the requirements of aerodynamic experiment. The attachment of a damping section at the end of the driver can eliminate the high reflection pressure produced by detonation wave, and the backward detonation driver can be employed to generate high enthalpy and high density test flow. The incident shock wave produced by this method is well repeated and with weak attenuation. The reflection wave caused by the contracted section at the main diaphragm will weaken the unfavorable effect of rarefaction wave behind the detonation wave, which indicates that the forward detonation driver can be applied in the practice. For incident shock wave of identical strength, the initial pressure of the forward detonation driver is about 1 order of magnitude lower than that of backward detonation.展开更多

Several experiments were conducted using water and CO_2 as the heat transfer media in the tubes, respectively. The results indicated that hot air flux, the initial liquid level height and the tube pitch ratio had great influence on the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube bundle(ho). Finally, the air flux associated factor β and height associated factor γ were introduced to propose a new hocorrelation. After verified by experiments using cold water, high pressure CO_2 and liquid N_2 as heat transfer media, respectively, it was found that the biggest deviation between the predicted and the experimental values was less than 25%.展开更多

Because the exhaust gas heat is absorbed by the regenerator,exhaust gas discharge can be controlled at a very low temperature to realize maximum waste heat recovery.At the same time,it improves the temperature uniformity and improve the heating intensity.Thermal efficiency of the device can reach more than 80%.And compared to the traditional air preheating,21.55%energy can be saved. Revamping on traditional radiant-tube combustion system is technically feasible,but a lot of problems will be involved since the rebuild work is on the old system,this article discusses on the main problem encountered in rebuild process in site. to optimize temperature control and obtain not so high exhaust gas temperature,digital combustion control system is necessary.This control loop consists of big loop and small loop,Big loop controls the load distribution of all burners in each heating zone.Small loop controls each heating zone burner's burning time. Compared performance of tradition radiant-tube heater with regenerative radiant-tube heater,result that regenerative radiant-tube heater have many advantage in consume fuel.Accordance with experience of replacing tradition radiant-tube heater with regenerative type,give a proposition in combustion control system, pilot burner,flame detection and prevent trouble to rebuild work of CAPL and CGL. It is recommended to use regenerative combustion technology in new annealing Line.Although the investment is 1/3 much more than the traditional combustion system,the energy saving effect is obvious and operating costs decreases.Revamping can be taken step by step according to different heating zones.Although taking a long time,it is safer and it influences the production less. Regenerative combustion burner revamping has become successful.However,the revamping work on different furnaces,particular on continuous annealing furnace with high request for temperature control,need further exploration and research.展开更多

A premixed type burner and a solenoid type oscillating control valve were designed and used. The fuel was used commercial LPG in this study and the fuel flow was oscillated by periodically opening and shutoff of the solenoid valve. From the tests, it was found that NOx emission, compared to no oscillation, could be reduced by 32% at 2.0 Hz. However, as oscillating frequency was increased, abatement of NOx emission was gradually reduced. At the high NOx abatement of 1.0 Hz, carbon monoxide was emitted above 10,000 ppm. Although rate of NOx abatement was low, oscillation condition of 2.5 Hz and duty ratio of 10-30% was recommended for low carbon monoxide emission. From the measurement of furnace heating time from 100 ℃ to 720 ℃, it was shown that heat transfer was increased by 11.5% at 2 Hz oscillating frequency. Temperature distribution of radiant tube surface was more uniform at 2 Hz oscillating frequency with drop of the peak temperature and rise of low temperature. From these results, it was confirmed that oscillating combustion was useful in radiant tube burner system.展开更多

Three dimensional numerical simulation was carried out to study the performance of this furnace. The Eddy Dissipation Concept(EDC) model coupled with the reaction mechanism DRM-19 was used. The prediction showed a good agreement with the measurement. The effect of air nozzle circle(D), air nozzle diameter(d), air nozzle number(N), and air preheating temperature(Tair) on the flow, temperature and species fields, and the CO and NO emissions was investigated. The results indicate that there are four zones in the furnace, viz.: a central jet zone, an ignition zone, a combustion reaction zone, and a flue gas zone, according to the distribution profiles of H_2 CO and OH. The central jet entrains more flue gas in the furnace upstream with an increasing D while the effect of D is negligible in the downstream. The air jet momentum increases with a decreasing d or an increasing Tair, and entrains more flue gas. The effect of N is mainly identified near the burner exit. More heat is absorbed in the radiant section and less heat is discharged to the atmosphere with a decreasing d and an increasing N as evidenced by the flue gas temperature. The CO and NO emissions are less than 50 μL/L and 10 μL/L, respectively, in most of conditions.展开更多

However, the ability of the heat front to consistently propagate within the shale during air injection remains uncertain. To address this, we investigated the heat front propagation within oil-detritus mixtures, shale cores, and fractured shale cores using a self-designed combustion tube(CT) and experimental schemes. By integrating the results obtained from high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry and CT, we developed a comprehensive reaction kinetics model to accurately analyze the main factors influencing the heat front propagation within fractured shale. The findings revealed that in the absence of additional fractures, the heat front failed to propagate within the tight shale. The flow of gases and liquids towards the shale core was impeded, resulting in the formation of a high-pressure zone at the front region of the shale. This pressure buildup significantly hindered air injection, leading to inadequate oxygen supply and the extinguishment of the heat front. However, the study demonstrated the stable propagation of the heat front within the oil-detritus mixtures, indicating the good combustion activity of the shale oil.Furthermore, the heat front successfully propagated within the fractured shale, generating a substantial amount of heat that facilitated the creation of fractures and enhanced gas injection and shale oil flow. It was important to note that after the heat front passed through the shale, the combustion intensity decreased. The simulation results indicated that injecting air into the main fracturing layers of the shale oil reservoir enabled the establishment of a stable heat front. Increasing the reservoir temperature(from 63 to 143℃) and oxygen concentration in the injected gas(from 11% to 21%) promoted notable heat front propagation and increased the average temperature of the heat front. It was concluded that temperature and oxygen concentration had the most important influence on the heat front propagation, followed by pressure and oil saturation.展开更多
