聚合物驱流度设计定量化方法研究

流度控制是聚合物驱方案设计的一项重要内容。流度控制不利会导致聚合物段塞的窜流和指进,聚合物利用率降低,开发效果变差。从流度设计的基本思想出发,利用聚合物的描述方法,建立了聚合物驱流度设计模型,形成了聚合物驱流度设计的定量化方法。研究了含水饱和度、相对渗透率曲线、剪切速率和含盐量对聚合物驱流度控制所需最小聚合物质量浓度的影响。研究结果表明,含水饱和度越大、相对渗透率曲线高度越高、剪切速率越大、含盐量越高,最小聚合物质量浓度越大。该模型可在聚合物驱室内实验结果的基础上科学快捷地设计出聚合物段塞的流度,为聚合物驱的成功实施提供技术保障。

复合驱流度设计方法研究

应用低界面张力下相对渗透率曲线的处理方法,推导了低界面张力下水相相对渗透率的计算公式。以流度设计的基本思想为基础,结合聚合物的描述方法,建立了复合驱流度设计模型。以胜利油田孤岛中一区Ng3单元为例,研究了控制二元复合驱流度的最小聚合物浓度,并制作了相应的图版。研究结果表明:含水饱和度越大,界面张力越低,控制复合驱流度的最小聚合物浓度越大;复合驱段塞的流度要根据储层的水洗程度和主体段塞降低油水界面张力的程度来设计。

考虑黏弹性效应的聚合物驱流度设计方法

聚合物溶液在渗流过程中存在黏弹性效应,此效应对于聚合物溶液的黏度有显著的影响,因此在聚合物驱流度设计中必须考虑这一因素。研究表明,当考虑聚合物溶液的黏弹性时,随着剪切速率的增加,流度设计时所需最小聚合物溶液质量浓度先增加后减小,曲线出现临界"拐点",这与不考虑溶液黏弹性有明显的区别;且随着松弛时间的增大,在相同剪切速率下,所需最小聚合物溶液质量浓度变小,曲线整体下移,且松弛时间越大,曲线出现"拐点"的时机越早,表明黏弹性效应的增大可以降低对聚合物溶液质量浓度的要求。

Physical modelling and scale effects of air-water flows on stepped spillways

During the last three decades, the introduction of new construction materials (e.g. RCC (Roller Compacted Concrete), strengthened gabions) has increased the interest for stepped channels and spillways. However stepped chute hydraulics is not simple, because of different flow regimes and importantly because of very-strong interactions between entrained air and turbu- lence. In this study, new air-water flow measurements were conducted in two large-size stepped chute facilities with two step heights in each facility to study experimental distortion caused by scale effects and the soundness of result extrapolation to pro- totypes. Experimental data included distributions of air concentration, air-water flow velocity, bubble frequency, bubble chord length and air-water flow turbulence intensity. For a Froude similitude, the results implied that scale effects were observed in both facilities, although the geometric scaling ratio was only Lr=2 in each case. The selection of the criterion for scale effects is a critical issue. For example, major differences (i.e. scale effects) were observed in terms of bubble chord sizes and turbulence levels al- though little scale effects were seen in terms of void fraction and velocity distributions. Overall the findings emphasize that physical modelling of stepped chutes based upon a Froude similitude is more sensitive to scale effects than classical smooth-invert chute studies, and this is consistent with basic dimensional analysis developed herein.

Optimal design of APD biasing circuit

This paper proposes a control method for avalanche photodiode(APD) reverse bias with temperature compensation and load resistance compensation. The influence of background light and load resistance on APD detection circuit is analyzed in detail. A theoretical model of temperature compensation and load resistance compensation is established,which is used for APD biasing circuit designing. It is predicted that this control method is especially suitable for LD laser range finder used on vehicles. Experimental results confirm that the design proposed in this paper can considerablely improve the performance of range finder.

Design of Manure Gas Exhaustion to Reduce Ammonia Concentrations in Loose-Housing Systems for Laying Hens

Uniformity of air flow in extraction openings in exhaust air channels for manure gas exhaustion is determined by the distribution of pressure. The areas required in extraction vents and in extraction ducts are determined by the uniformity of air flow desired along the duct and by the loss of pressure that can be accepted. The area ratio between the vents and the cross section of the exhaust air duct will have a strong influence on both uniformity of flow and loss of pressure. The following ventilation properties were studied： Uniformity of air flow; Variations in static pressure along a duct; Air velocity at different distances from the vents. The area ratio should be about 1 for uniform exhaustion. The studies showed that the relative variation in air velocity is independent of the level of the ventilation rate. The uniformity of the exhaust distance is influenced in about the same way by the area ratio as the air velocity in the exhaust vents. Thus, it is important that the area ratio is not too high if a good exhaust function should be guaranteed. The studies also demonstrated that the uniformity of the exhaust distance is independent of the ventilation flow rate. The exhaust ventilation range is, maximally 0.3 m from the vents. The static friction coefficient was on average 0.80.

Off-Design Performance Analysis of Axial Flow Fan in Helicopter

A theoretical calculation method of off-design performance is developed for an axial flow fan of oil cooling system in helicopter,including calculation of aerodynamic parameters and performance parameters.When calculating inlet shock loss,the shock loss coefficient is obtained by comparing results of theoretical calculation,experimental and numerical calculation.The theoretical results and numerical results show that all air velocity components increase from hub to shroud in main flow area at rated condition.Tip leakage vortex moves downstream as flow rate increases.When flow rate decreases,Re decreases,and boundary layer thickness from hub to shroud area all increases gradually.Tip leakage vortex moves upstream,and secondary loss increases.Low speed area in the passage is widened along with high speed area moving to hub area,influenced by boundary layer separation.Consequently wake area and jet area at fan outlet are both larger than rated condition.Therefore optimization design for off-design performance of the fan is required on aerodynamic parameters influencing fan loss.A reliable method is supplied for estimating altitude performance of lubricating system in helicopter.

Numerical Modeling and Investigation of PEM Fuel Cell for Performance Augmentation

Fuel cell is an important promised source of clean renewable energy that is being under extensive scientific investigation and developments. One important type of fuel cells is PEM （proton exchange membrane fuel cell）, which is considered in this study. Specifically, this study aimed at building-up of mathematical computerized model to simulate the stages of PEM fuel cell and to investigate the effects of cell design and operation parameters on its general performance. These include membrane thickness, cell area, hydrogen pressure and ionic current density. One-dimensional model has been introduced and appealed to analyze the effects of PEM fuel cell parameters on its overall performance. The results demonstrate that the cell power （and electrical efficiency） reduces as the thickness of cell membrane gets larger. Moreover, the peak point of cell power gets its maximum value at membrane thickness of 0.005 cm and its minimum value at 0.05 cm. However, the optimum value for ionic current density to get relative high cell power and electrical efficiency is equal 0.81 A/cm^2. These findings enhance research efforts toward new design and materials of PEM fuel cell.

High Power Density Three-Level Three-Phase AC-DC 48 V Power Supply

International standards impose several constraints concerning the electric power quality and require that the harmonic content of the line current of grid connected equipment is below assigned limits; for this reason, operating of AC-DC converters with high power factor and low line current distortion has become essential. In this paper, the prototypal realization of a three-phase AC-DC 48 V power electronic converter for telecom system supplying is described and experimental testing results are discussed. The main constraints in the power supply design are the required power density of about 900 W per dm3 as well as the absence of the neutral wire in the supply grid. The carried out investigation is focused on three-level power converter configurations which are considered in order to reduce voltage rating of power switches. As a result of the reduced voltage, low on-resistance metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors can be used in the power stage, solution which allows to achieve improved efficiency as well as increased switching frequency with respect to the insulated gate bipolar transistors based two-level topologies.

Experimental Analysis of Flow Structure in Contra-Rotating Axial Flow Pump Designed with Different Rotational Speed Concept

As a high specific speed pump, the contra-rotating axial flow pump distinguishes itself in a rear rotor rotating in the opposite direction of the front rotor, which remarkably contributes to the energy conversion, the reduction of the pump size, better hydraulic and cavitation performances. However, with two rotors rotating reversely, the significant interaction between blade rows was observed in our prototype contra-rotating rotors, which highly affected the pump performance compared with the conventional axial flow pumps. Consequently, a new type of rear rotor was designed by the rotational speed optimization methodology with some additional considerations, aiming at better cavitation performance, the reduction of blade rows interaction and the secondary flow suppression. The new rear rotor showed a satisfactory performance at the design flow rate but an unfavorable positive slope of the head - flow rate curve in the partial flow rate range less than 40% of the design flow rate, which should be avoided for the reliability of pump-pipe systems. In the present research, to understand the internal flow field of new rear rotor and its relation to the performances at the partial flow rates, the velocity distributions at the inlets and outlets of the rotors are firstly investigated. Then, the boundary layer flows on rotor surfaces, which clearly reflect the secondary flow inside the rotors, are analyzed through the limiting streamline observations using the multi-color oil-film method. Finally, the unsteady numerical simulations are carded out to understand the complicated internal flow structures in the rotors.

Numerical analysis of periodic flow unsteadiness in a single-blade centrifugal pump

In this paper,the CFD simulation and new flow unsteadiness analysis for a single-blade centrifugal pump with whole flow passage were carried out.The periodic flow unsteadiness has been quantitatively investigated in detail by defining unsteady intensity and turbulence intensity in both rotor and volute domains under design condition Q=33 L s 1.The results show that the distributions of flow unsteadiness are the functions of impeller rotating angle and have complex unsteady characteristics.The obvious T u fluctuations can be also observed for different impeller positions.In addition,time-averaged unsteady intensity and time-averaged turbulence intensity were calculated by averaging the results of each mesh node for entire impeller revolution period to evaluate the strength distributions of flow unsteadiness directly and comprehensively.The accumulative results of an impeller revolution can directly show the positions and strength of the flow unsteadiness and turbulence intensity in both rotor and stator domains which can be an important aspect to be considered in the single-blade pump optimum design procedure for obtaining more stable inner flow of the pump and decreasing flow-induced vibration and noise.The flow unsteadiness in the side chamber cannot be neglected for an accurate prediction of the inner flow of the pump,and the optimizing design procedure for a single-blade pump impeller will not be accurate using CFD tool if the unsteady flow phenomenon in the side chamber is not considered.

A Study of the Unsteady Tip Flow Field of a Transonic Compressor

An experimental investigation on the unsteady tip flow field of a transonic compressor rotor has been performed.The casing-mounted high frequency response pressure transducers were arranged along both the blade chord and the blade pitch.The chord-wise ones were used to indicate both the ensemble averaged and time varying flow structure of the tip region of the rotor at different operating points under 95% design speed and 60% design speed.The pitch-wise circumferential transducers were mainly used to analyze the unsteadiness frequency of the tip leakage flow in the rotor frame at the near stall condition.The contours of casing wall pressure show that there were two clear low pressure regions in blade passages,one along the chord direction,caused by the leakage flow and the other along the tangential direction,maybe caused by the forward swept leading edge.Both low pressure regions were originated from the leading edge and formed a scissor-like flow pattern.At 95% design speed condition,the shock wave interacted with the low pressure region and made the flow field unsteady.With the mass flow reduced,the two low pressure regions gradually contracted to the leading edge and then a spike disturbance emerged.

Analytical and Numerical Modifications of Transonic Nozzle Flows

Classical transonic hodograph-based design methods are employed and revitalized using modern numerical tools to illustrate the design of a symmetrical accelerating-decelerating nozzle throat design. The concept of Elliptic Continuation is applied to solve transonic boundary value problems avoiding the inherently nonlinear nature of the basic equations and obtaining transonic flow examples using the Method of Characteristics in an inverse mode. Purpose of the present paper, besides describing a new special flow example, is to keep these classical methods alive for education of a new generation of creative engineers.

Metallic glassy fibers

A review on the formation and unique physical and mechanical properties of metallic glassy fibers(MGFs)with the diameter ranging from micro to nano scales fabricated by a supercooled liquid extraction method(SLEM)is given.The SLEM method,through driving metallic glass rods in their supercooled liquid region via superplasticity,can fabricate MGFs with precisely designed and controlled size and properties,high structural uniformity and surface smoothness and extreme flexibility.The SLEM method is efficient and the MGFs can be continuously prepared by this method.A parameter f based on the thermal and rheological properties of MG-forming alloys is proposed to control the preparation and size of the fibers.We show that the novel MGFs with superior properties may attract intensive scientific interests and propel more engineering and functional applications.
