The relationship among the reaction thrust, flow rate pressure, diameter do and length L of a cylinder nozzle is analyzed theoretically. The simulation of the flow field characteristics was conducted via the FLUENT computational fluid dynamics package. Effects of the inlet conditions and the nozzle dimensions on the reaction thrust of a water jet were addressed particularly. The reaction thrust experiments were performed on a custom-designed test apparatus. The experimental results reveal that a) the nozzle diameter and the inlet conditions exert great influence on the water jet reaction thrust; and b) for L≤4d0, where the nozzle is treated as a thin plate-orifice, the reaction thrust is independent of nozzle length; for L〉4d0, where the nozzle is treated as a long orifice, the reaction thrust can reach maximum under the condition of a certain flow rate. These findings lay a theoretical foundation for the design of nozzles and have significant value, especially for the future development of high-oressure water-let orooulsion technology.展开更多

A 20-step mechanism was derived from the full mechanism using sensitivity analysis,reaction path analysis and quasi steady state(QSS) approximation. The model in premixed flame was validated and with computing savings in diffusion flame was applied by incor-porating into a CFD code. Simulations were performed to explore the effect of coflow air on flame structure and soot formation. Thermal radiation was calculated by a discrete-ordinates method,and soot formation was predicted by a simple two-equation soot model. Model results are in good agreement with those from experiment data and detailed mechanism at atmospheric conditions. The soot nucleation,growth,and oxidation by OH are all enhanced by decrease in coflow air velocity. The peak soot volume fraction region appears in the lower annular region be-tween the peak flame temperature and peak acetylene concentration locations,and the high soot oxidation rate due to the OH attack occurs in the middle annular region because of high temperature.展开更多

Theoretical calculations show that the angular distribution of the forward and backward products is roughly symmetric for the title reaction. The product rotational state distribution was also determined at a few collision energies. In t, he collision energy range from 0.124 eV to 1.424 eV, the integral cross section for this system monotonically decreases with the collision energy. A comparison with the experimental result of the ion-molecule reaction was also made, the agreement is generally good.展开更多

For both isotopomers, the hydrogen/deuterium abstraction reaction is dominated by a direct rebound mechanism over a very low "reactant-like" barrier, which leads to a vibrationally hot HF/DF product with an internally cold OH/OD companion. It is shown that the lowered reaction barrier on this PES, as suggested by high-level ab initio calculations, leads to a much better agreement with the experimental reaction cross section, but has little impact on the product state distributions and mode selectivity. Our results further indicate that rotational excitation of the H20 reactant leads to significant enhancement of the reactivity, suggesting a strong coupling with the reaction coordinate.展开更多

The three lowest adiabatic potential energy surfaces correlating asymptotically with Cl(^2p)+H2 have been transformed to adiabatic representation, which leads to a fourth coupling potential for non-linear geometries. In addition, the spin-orbit coupling surfaces have also been computed using the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. Properties of the new potential are described. Reaction dynamics based on the new potential agrees with the recent experimental results quite well.展开更多

The objective of test was to determine the core inlet flow field of the model reactor in order to provide input information required by the open core thermal margin analysis code such as TORC. In this study, in order to examine the validity of the results of reactor flow model tests and the applicability of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) in the simulation of reactor internal flow, CFD simulation was conducted with the commercial multi-purpose CFD software, ANSYSCFX V. 14. It was found that the velocity field in the downcomer had the inhomogeneous feature. Relative high velocity region was located in the core region. This result was different from measurement and this difference may result from the fact that some internal structures were not modeled with the real geometry but treated as the porous domain.展开更多

The geometric characteristics of the TissueFlex174;(Zyoxel Limited, Oxford, UK) microbioreactor were considered to set up a virtual bioreactor containing alginate(in both slab and bead configuration) scaffolds. The bioreactor and scaffolds were seeded with cells that were modelled as glucose consuming entities. The widely used glucose medium, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM), supplied at two inlet flow rates of 25 and 100 μl·h^(-1), was modelled as the fluid phase inside the bioreactors. The investigation, based on applying dimensional analysis to this problem, as well as on detailed three-dimensional transient CFD results, revealed that the default bioreactor design and boundary conditions led to internal and external glucose transport, as well as shear stresses, that are conducive to h MSC growth and expansion. Furthermore, results indicated that the ‘top-inout' design(as opposed to its symmetric counterpart) led to higher shear stress for the same media inlet rate(25 μl·h^(-1)), a feature that can be easily exploited to induce shear-dependent differentiation. These findings further confirm the suitability of CFD as a robust design tool.展开更多

After being activated at 650℃, calcium compounds of carbonate and hydroxide in the carbide slag are mainly transformed into calcium oxide. The activated carbide slag utilized as the transesterification catalyst is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and the Hammett indicator method. Compared with the carbide slag activated at 700 and 800℃, the largest surface area of 22.63 m2g^-1, the smallest particle size of 265.12 nm and the highest catalytic efficiency of the carbide slag activated at 650℃ guarantee its capacity in catalyzing transesterification. Then, the influences of activated temperature (Ta), molar ratio of methanol to oil (γ), catalyst added amount (ζ), reaction temperature (Tr) and reaction time (τ) on the catalytic performance are investi- gated. Under the optimal transesterification condition of Ta=650℃, γ=15, ζ=3%, Tr=60℃ and τ=-110 rain, the catalytic efficiency of 92.98% can be achieved. Finally, the kinetic parameters of transesterification catalyzed by the activated carbide slag are calculated, where activation energy (E) is 68.45 kJ mol^-1 and pre-exponential factor (k0) is 1.75×10^9 min^-1. The activated carbide slag shows better reused property than calcium hydroxide.展开更多

The potential energy surface information was obtained at the MCQCISD/3//MP2/cc-pVDZ level and the kinetic calculations were done using variational transition state theory with interpolated single-point energy (VTST-ISPE) approach. The calculated results show that the reaction proceeds primarily via the H-abstraction channel, while the Cl-addition channel is unfavorable due to the higher barriers. The improved canonical variational transition-state theory (ICVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT) was used to calculate the rate constants. The theoretical rate constants at room temperature are in general agreement with the experimental values. A three-parameter rate constant expression was fitted over a wide temperature range of 200-2000 K.展开更多
