冷-热循环下能量桩热-力学特性的数值模拟

能量桩与地基土的热交换取决于建筑物的年能源需求,故能量桩每年受到冷-热循环作用。采用多场耦合有限元数值模拟方法,研究在力学荷载和随时间按正弦函数变化的温度荷载共同作用下悬浮能量桩的热-力学特性。结果表明,随着能量桩冷-热周期性的循环,温度荷载引起的桩身附加轴向应力、桩头附加竖向位移和桩侧附加剪应力也随时间周期性变化,且相位与温度荷载曲线的相位相同。桩升温最大时桩身轴向压应力达到最大值,桩降温最大时桩头沉降达到最大值。地基土的温度改变量随时间周期性地变化,其幅值在桩的中部深度附近最大,在桩二端深度附近较小。地基土温度的变化滞后于温度荷载。离桩越远,地基土的温度达到其最大值的时间越滞后。

冷-热不平衡热荷载下黏土地基中能量桩长期热-力学特性

建立了热-渗流-力(T-H-M)三场耦合能量桩有限元数值分析模型,研究了力学荷载组合不同热聚集度(桩的放热量与吸热量之比)温度荷载下黏土地基中能量桩的长期热-力学特性,包括桩身温度、桩头沉降、桩身轴向应力、地基土温度和超孔隙水压力特性等。计算结果表明:冷-热平衡时桩头沉降随温度荷载循环的增加逐渐增大,桩头发生沉降累积,桩身轴向应力和地基土温度变化的幅值不随温度荷载循环而变化。当桩的放热量大于吸热量时,桩身温度随温度荷载循环的增加而升高,桩头沉降随之减小,但热荷载循环对桩身轴向应力没有影响。桩周土温度随热循环的增加而逐渐增大,产生热聚集现象。温度荷载的热聚集度数值越大,桩身和桩周土的温度越高,桩身最小压应力越大,桩头沉降越小。温度荷载引起的超静孔隙水压力数值很小。

温度循环下能量群桩的热-力学特性数值分析

以黏土地基中能量群桩作为研究对象,针对能量桩-筏基础建立了简化的二维热-渗流-力(THM)耦合有限元模型,模拟分析了力学荷载与长期冷-热循环共同作用下能量群桩的热-力学特性。研究结果表明:桩头沉降、桩身轴向应力、地基土的温度和超静孔压均随温度循环呈周期性变化。桩头的沉降累积主要发生在第1个温度循环中,边桩桩头累计沉降最大,内部桩头的累积沉降较小。边桩轴向压应力的幅值远大于中心桩。在温度循环中各相邻桩间土的温度相同,筏板外地基土的温度较之桩间土要小得多。温度循环下地基土产生超静孔隙水压力。桩升温时桩间土中的超静孔压沿深度逐渐减小,而筏板外地基土的超静孔压小于桩间土。能量群桩的群桩效应减小了温度循环引起的桩身轴向应力和筏板的差异沉降。

Performance analysis of a zeotropic mixture(R290/CO_2) for trans-critical power cycle

Low critical temperature limits the application of CO_2 trans-critical power cycle.The binary mixture of R290/CO_2has higher critical temperature.Using mixture fluid may solve the problem that subcritical CO_2 is hardly condensed by conventional cooling water.In this article,theoretical analysis is executed to study the performance of the zeotropic mixture for trans-critical power cycle using low-grade liquid heat source with temperature of200℃.The results indicated that the problem that CO_2 can't be condensed in power cycle by conventional cooling water can be solved by mixing R290 to CO_2.Variation trend of outlet temperature of thermal oil in supercritical heater with heating pressure is determined by the composition of the mixture fluid.Gliding temperature causes the maximum outlet temperature of cooling water with the increase of mass fraction of R290.There are the maximum values for cycle thermal efficiency and net power output with the increase of supercritical heating pressure.

Adsorption Refrigeration Performance of Shaped MIL-101-Water Working Pair

A new metal-organic framework of MIL-101 was synthesized by hydrothermal method and the powder prepared was pressed into a desired shape. The effects of molding on specific surface area and pore structure were investigated using a nitrogen adsorption method. The water adsorption isotherms were obtained by high vacuum gravimetric method, the desorption temperature of water on shaped MIL-101 was measured by thermo gravimetric analyzer, and the adsorption refrigeration performance of shaped MIL-101-water working pair was studied on the simulation device of adsorption refrigeration cycle system. The results indicate that an apparent hysteresis loop ap-pears in the nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms when the forming pressure is 10 MPa. The equilibrium ad-sorption capacity of water is up to 0.95 kg·kg^-1 at the forming pressure of 3 MPa （MIL-101-3）. The desorption peak temperature of water on MIL-101-3 is 82℃, which is 7 ℃ lower than that of silica gel, and the desorption temperature is no more than 100 ℃. At the evaporation temperature of 10 ℃, the refrigeration capacity of MIL-101-3-water is 1059 kJ·kg^-1, which is 2.24 times higher than that of silica gel-water working pair. Thus MIL-101-water working pair presents an excellent adsorption refrigeration performance.

Thermodynamic design of a cascade refrigeration system of liquefied natural gas by applying mixed integer non-linear programming

Liquefied natural gas(LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas(NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, conventional approaches to determine optimal cycle are largely trial-and-error. In this paper a novel mixed integer non-linear programming(MINLP)model is introduced to select optimal synthesis of refrigeration systems to reduce both operating and capital costs of an LNG plant. Better conceptual understanding of design improvement is illustrated on composite curve(CC) and exergetic grand composite curve(EGCC) of pinch analysis diagrams. In this method a superstructure representation of complex refrigeration system is developed to select and optimize key decision variables in refrigeration cycles(i.e. partition temperature, compression configuration, refrigeration features, refrigerant flow rate and economic trade-off). Based on this method a program(LNG-Pro) is developed which integrates VBA,Refprop and Excel MINLP Solver to automate the methodology. Design procedure is applied on a sample LNG plant to illustrate advantages of using this method which shows a 3.3% reduction in total shaft work consumption.

Effects of Thermal-Cold Cycling on Dimensional Stability of HIPed Beryllium

The dimensional change,residual stress,grain orientation difference,dislocation density,and dislocation distribution of beryllium after different hot isostatic pressing treatments were analyzed by laser length meter,Raman spectrometer,nanoindentation meter,electron backscattered diffractometer,and transmission electron microscope,and the influence of thermal-cold cycling treatment on the dimensional stability of beryllium was analyzed.Results show that the size of the hot isostatic pressed beryllium tends to be stable after 6 cycles of thermal-cold cycling treatment from-100℃to 150℃,and it has good dimensional stability.The dimensional stabilization mechanism of beryllium is mainly the homogenization of dislocations within the grain and the homogenization of orientation difference caused by micro-plastic deformation.

THE FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF WARM AND COLD EPISODES IN THE NIO REGIONS

On the basis of NOAA/CPC data of sea surface temperature anomaly in the Nifio regions during Jan. 1950 - Dec. 2003, the wavelet power spectrum of SST were studied with significance and confidence testing at different scales in this paper. It shows that the SST are provided with multi-time scales structure nested one another, and vary on scales of 2 - 7 years, 8 - 20 years and 〉30 years. The most significant variation of the warm and cold episodes is in the 4-year band of period. The power, frequency structure and confidence of the same episode are different in different Nino regions. The intensity of oscillations is increasing at low frequency bands and decreasing at high frequency bands from east to west in the Nino regions, especially after 1970.

Coupling effect of evaporation and condensation processes of organic Rankine cycle for geothermal power generation improvement

Organic Rankine cycle(ORC)is widely used for the low grade geothermal power generation.However,a large amount of irreversible loss results in poor technical and economic performance due to its poor matching between the heat source/sink and the working medium in the condenser and the evaporator.The condensing temperature,cooling water temperature difference and pinch point temperature difference are often fixed according to engineering experience.In order to optimize the ORC system comprehensively,the coupling effect of evaporation and condensation process was proposed in this paper.Based on the laws of thermodynamics,the energy analysis,exergy analysis and entropy analysis were adopted to investigate the ORC performance including net output power,thermal efficiency,exergy efficiency,thermal conductivity,irreversible loss,etc.,using geothermal water at a temperature of 120℃as the heat source and isobutane as the working fluid.The results show that there exists a pair of optimal evaporating temperature and condensing temperatures to maximize the system performance.The net power output and the system comprehensive performance achieve their highest values at the same evaporating temperature,but the system comprehensive performance corresponds to a lower condensing temperature than the net power output.

Numerical simulation on boiling heat transfer of evaporation cooling in a billet reheating furnace

The boiling heat transfer of evaporation cooling in a billet reheating furnace was simulated.The results indicate that the bubbles easily aggregate inside of the elbow and upper side of the horizontal regions in theπshaped support tubes.The circulation velocity increasing helps to improve the uniformity of vapor distribution and decrease the difference of vapor volume fraction between upper and down at end of the horizontal sections.With the increase of circulation velocity,the resistance loss and the circulation ratio both increase,but the former will decrease with the increase of work pressure.

Presence of Contaminants in Refrigerant and Their Effect on Refrigeration Cycle

Refrigerant is a medium used in refrigeration cycle. Until now in thermodynamic models calculations of refrigerant is not considered with lubricant and moist air but as an ideal pure gas （without any contaminants）. This is also the case in refrigeration cycle where the refrigerant is very often considered as an ideal one. Lubricant, air and water vapour are not considered in thermodynamic calculations in spite of their existence. The problems in the existing research are summarized. A further study is suggested on refrigerant systems. This circulation of such calculations is at the origin of a deviation from a theoretical behaviour. This article aims at reviewing the researches of oil-refrigerant, air-refrigerant, moist air-refrigerant or oil-moist air-refrigerant mixtures and focuses particularly on mixture enthalpy calculation. This paper deals with the description of the real mixture of refrigerant and contaminants （lubricant, water, moist air and other remains of refrigerants at elevated pressures and temperatures） which flow in a refrigerating cycle and the main point of this paper is to appoint thermodynamic parameters of such a mixture using the thermodynamic formulas.

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Hot Geothermal Water

The paper presents an investigation of energy and exergy analysis of an existing ORC （organic rankine cycle） unit powered by hot geothermal water. The validated model of this unit was used to examine 25 refrigerants belonging to different chemical compositions. The study revealed that R141b and R123 produced the best net power, energy efficiency, and exergy efficiency, whereas R125 was the lowest. Hydrofluorocarbons （except R143a）, hydrocarbons, and inorganic reflected attractive energy and exergy efficiencies. All investigated mixtures gained low performance compared with other studied candidates. The R245ca was the best among the hydrofluorocarbons studied refrigerants, and R501 was the best among the mixture refrigerants. Furthermore, within the ORC system, the evaporator was found to have the highest exergy destruction and the refrigerant pump was the lowest.

Applicability of cement-based grout for ground heat exchanger considering heating-cooling cycles

The applicability of cement grout （or cement-based grout） has been considered as an alternative to bentonite grout commonly used to backfill closed-loop vertical ground heat exchangers. In a geothermal heat pump system, repeated heating-cooling cycles may cause adverse effects on the integrity of cement grout in the ground heat exchanger. To account for the temperature cycling effect, the strength degradation of cement grout due to temperature cycling has been examined by measuring the unconfined compression strength of cured specimens in a humidity-temperature controlling chamber with applying temperature cycles between -5℃ and 50℃. There is a tendency that the unconfined compression strength decreases with an increase in the number of temperature cycles. On the other hand, an equivalent hydraulic conductivity of a pipe-embedded cement grout specimen was evaluated by carrying out a modified flexible wall permeameter test equipped with a water circulating system to control temperature inside the pipe section. The applied operating temperature range was from 5 to 35℃. After three cycles of heating-cooling circulation, the equivalent hydraulic conductivity becomes asymptotic to a constant value, which implies there is no severe detachment of the pipe from the cement grout.

Distribution optimization of circulating water in air-cooled heat exchangers for a typical indirect dry cooling system on the basis of entransy dissipation

The flow and heat transfer of air-cooled heat exchangers play important roles in the performance of indirect dry cooling systems in power plants,so it is of benefit to the design and operation of a typical indirect dry cooling system to optimize the thermo-flow characteristics of air-cooled heat exchangers.The entransy dissipation method is applied to the performance optimization of air-cooled heat exchangers in this paper.Two irreversible heat transfer processes in air-cooled heat exchangers,the heat transfer between circulating water and cooling air and the mixing of circulating water,are taken into account and analyzed by means of the entransy dissipation method.The total entransy dissipation rate,which connects the geometrical parameters of air-cooled heat exchanger sectors and the heat capacity rates of the fluids to the heat flow rate in every sector,is obtained.Based on the mathematical relation and the conditional extremum method,an optimization equation group is derived,by which the air-cooled heat exchanger with known air-side parameters is optimized,showing that the entransy dissipation based optimization approach can contribute to the distribution optimization of circulating water in air-cooled heat exchangers of a typical indirect dry cooling system.

Analysis of an electricity-cooling cogeneration system for waste heat recovery of gaseous fuel engines

Waste heat recovery(WHR)is one of the most useful ways to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines,and an electricity-cooling cogeneration system(ECCS)based on Rankin-absorption refrigeration combined cycle for the WHR of gaseous fuel engines is proposed in the paper.This system can avoid wasting the heat in condenser so that the efficiency of the whole WHR system improves,but the condensing temperature of Rankin cycle(RC)must increase in order to use absorption refrigeration system,which leads to the decrease of RC output power.Therefore,the relationship between the profit of absorption refrigeration system and the loss of RC in this combined system is the mainly studied content in the paper.Because the energy quality of cooling and electricity are different,cooling power in absorption refrigeration is converted to corresponding electrical power consumed by electric cooling system,which is defined as equivalent electrical power.With this method,the effects of some important operation parameters on the performance of the ECCS are researched,and the equivalent efficiency,exergy efficiency and primary energy rate are compared in the paper.

Power generation and heat sink improvement characteristics of recooling cycle for thermal cracked hydrocarbon fueled scramjet

In order to further investigate how much fuel heat sink could be increased and how much power generation could be obtained by using recooling cycle for a regeneratively cooled scramjet,the energy conversion from heat to electricity and the fuel heat sink increase in recooling cycle are experimentally investigated for fuel conversion rate and components of gas cracked fuel products at different fuel temperatures.The results indicate that the total fuel heat sink(i.e.,physical+chemical+recooling) of a recooling cycle is obviously higher than the heat sink of fuel itself,and the maximum heat sink increment is as high as 0.4 MJ/kg throughout the recooling cycle.Furthermore,the cracked fuel mixture has a significant capacity of doing work.The thermodynamic power generation scheme,which adopts the cracked fuel gas mixture as the working fluid,is a potential power generation cycle,and the maximum specific power generation is about 500 kW/kg.Turbine-pump scheme using cracked fuel gas mixture is also a potential fuel feeding cycle.

Theoretical study on boiling heat transfer in the Xi'an pulsed reactor

Boiling heat transfer condition has significance for pool-type research reactors cooled by natural circulation.It has important effect on the fuel element safety of reactor.On the basis of heat transfer characteristics of the Xi'an pulsed reactor(XAPR),fuel conduction,single-phase convection and boiling heat transfer,and void fraction models of the core are constructed.To validate the correctness of the physical models presented in the paper,numerical calculation based on a subchannel analysis method of XAPR is carried out,and the temperature fields are measured in some reactor coolant channels.The comparison between the calculated and experimental results verifies the effectiveness of the models.These physical models are used to calculate the thermal-hydraulic parameters of XAPR at the rated power(for XAPR the rated power is 2.0 MW in steady-state operation).The results indicate that subcooled boiling occurs in the XAPR core but it exhibits a subcooling degree which is considerably higher than that of saturation boiling.Subcooled boiling improves the efficiency of heat transfer between the fuel element surface and coolant,as well as effectively protects fuel elements.This research is also a beneficial reference in thermal-hydraulic analysis for other natural circulation reactors.
