Then, the CFCS thermodynamic model was proposed by establishing the multi-phase equilibrium model of FMSP and the local-equilibrium model of CCCP, respectively, and by combining them through the smelting intermediates. Subsequently, the influences of the furnace structures were investigated using the model on the formation of blister copper, the Fe3O4 behavior, the copper loss in slag and the copper recovery rate. The results show that the type D furnace, with double flues and a slag partition wall, is an ideal CFCS reactor compared with the other three types furnaces. For CFCS, it is effective to design a partition wall in the furnace to make FMSP and CCCP perform in two relatively independent zones, respectively, and to make smelting gas and converting gas discharge from respective flues.展开更多

Numerical calculations were carried out by three different configurations of magnetic field: without magnetic field, with an axial magnetic field (AMF) and with a cusp-shaped magnetic field (CMF). The results reveal that the magnetic fields can effectively suppress the melt flow and thermal fluctuation and the suppression effect of the AMF is stronger than that of the CMF. Besides, the physical mechanism of thermocapillary?buoyancy convection instability was discussed and the effects of magnetic field on the critical Marangoni number were also obtained.展开更多

The result shows that warm SST in the SCS in winter and spring is favorable for the formation of monsoon circulation throughout all levels of the atmosphere over the sea, which hastens the onset of SCS summer monsoon. The effects of cold SST are generally the opposite. The local land-sea contrast in the SCS is one of the possible reasons for SCS summer monsoon onset. Superposed upon large-scale land-sea thermodynamic differences, it facilitates the formation of out-breaking onset characteristics of SCS summer monsoon in the SCS area.展开更多

The exp...Effects of Zn content (0, 0.5%, 1.5% and 4.5%) on the hot tearing characteristics of Mg?2%Y alloy were studied in aconstrained rod casting (CRC) apparatus attached with a load cell and data acquisition system. The experimental results indicate thatthe hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) is affected by the content of Zn. The Zn-free base alloy shows the lowest HTS. The HTS ofMg?xZn?2Y alloys increases with increasing Zn content, reaches the maximum at 1.5% Zn, and then decreases with further Znaddition. The high HTS observed in the alloy with 1.5% Zn is attributed to its high force release rate and large force drop duringsolidification. The hot cracks of casting are initiated and propagate along the dendritic or grain boundaries. The predictions of HTS ofMg?xZn?2Y alloys using ProCAST software are in good agreement with the results obtained by experimental measurements.展开更多

The structural parameters of the three kinds of tubes are compared with those of the plain tube. The numerical results using computational fluid dynamics are validated with theoretical values. For the corrugated, nodal and horizontal grain tubes, the heat transfer enhancements(HTEs) are 2.31—2.53, 1.18—1.86 and 1.02—1.31 times of those of the plain tube, respectively. However, the improved HTEs are at the expense of pressure losses. The drag coefficients are 6.10—7.09, 2.06—11.03 and 0.53—1.83 higher, respectively. From the viewpoint of comprehensive heat transfer factor, the corrugated tube is recommended for engineering applications, followed by the horizontal grain tube.展开更多

The results are basically consistent with relative experimental data. The calculated average heat transfer coefficient reaches 1.7~105 W/(m2. K). When the equal percentage valve is used, the system needs the minimum requirements of valve control, but brings the highest construction cost. With the: decrease of initial steam pressure, the heat transfer intensity also weakens but the steam flow increases. With the initial water filling coefficient increasing or the temperature of steam supply decreasing, the amount of accumulative steam flow increases with the growth of steam pressure. When the pressure of steam supply drops, the steam flow gradient increases during the maximum opening period of control valve, and causes the maximum steam flow to increase.展开更多

The three-dimensions thermal, fluid and thermal stress coupled field of heat exchanger was analyzed by using the commercial engineering computer package ANSYS. The structural and operational parameters of heat exchanger, the junction between standpipe and snake pipe, the diameter of snake pipe, ratio of thickness to diameter of pipe, velocity of inlet air were optimized for thermal stress. The computed results show that the large thermal stress exits in the SiC, and the stand pipe should be ellipse for the least thermal stress; the optimal ratio of thickness to diameter of pipe is 6, the velocity of inlet air is 25 m/s. The most thermal stress is in inverse proportion to diameter of pipe and velocity of inlet air.展开更多

The dynamic heating capacity and COP (coefficient of performance) of the HPWH unit under different EXV openings were measured. The effects of the EXV opening on the performance of the HPWH unit were analyzed. Meanwhile, the dynamic performance of the HPWH with EXV was simulated and the results were compared with the experimental one. The experimental results indicate that during heating process, the COP increases firstly and then decreases for a fixed EXV opening, which is in good agreement with the numerical result. For different EXV openings, the COP and heating capacity of the system using larger EXV opening are superior to those using the smaller one in the initial heating stage. While in the late stage, the performance of system using smaller EXV opening is better. It is found that the system performance is improved significantly by changing the EXV opening in the different heating period and the average COP of the HPWH system is increased by 7.6%.展开更多

The HVOF gun in the present analysis is an axisymmetric convergent-divergent nozzle with the design Mach number of 2.0 followed by a straight passage called barrel. In the present analysis it is assumed that the influence of the particles injected in the gas flow is neglected, and the interaction between the particles is also neglected. The gas flow in the gun is assumed to be quasi-one-dimensional adiabatic flow. The velocity, temperature and density of gas in the jet discharged from the barrel exit are predicted by solving Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The particle equation of motion is numerically integrated using three-step Runge-Kutta method. The drag coefficient of the particle is calculated by linear interpolation of the experimental data obtained in the past. Particle mean temperature is calculated by using Ranz and Marchalls' correlation for spherical particles. From the present analysis, the distributions of velocity and temperature of the coating particles flying inside and outside the HVOF gun are predicted.展开更多

This model becomes the ER network at q = 1, which is characterized by a robust second order phase transition. When q = 0, this model recovers to the SC model which exhibits a first order phase transition. To study how the percolation phase transition changes from second order to first order with the decrease of the value of q from 1 to 0, the numerical simulations study the final vanishing moment of the each existing cluster except the N-cluster in the percolation process. For the continuous phase transition,it is shown that the tail of the graph of the final vanishing moment has the characteristic of the convexity. While for the discontinuous phase transition, the graph of the final vanishing moment possesses the characteristic of the concavity.Just before the critical point, it is found that the ratio between the maximum of the sequential vanishing clusters sizes and the network size N can be used to decide the phase transition type. We show that when the ratio is larger than or equal to zero in the thermodynamic limit, the percolation phase transition is first or second order respectively. For our model, the numerical simulations indicate that there exists a tricritical point qcwhich is estimated to be between0.2 < qc< 0.25 separating the two phase transition types.展开更多

文摘We investigate a percolation process where an additional parameter q is used to interpolate between the classical Erd¨os–R′enyi(ER) network model and the smallest cluster(SC) model. This model becomes the ER network at q = 1, which is characterized by a robust second order phase transition. When q = 0, this model recovers to the SC model which exhibits a first order phase transition. To study how the percolation phase transition changes from second order to first order with the decrease of the value of q from 1 to 0, the numerical simulations study the final vanishing moment of the each existing cluster except the N-cluster in the percolation process. For the continuous phase transition,it is shown that the tail of the graph of the final vanishing moment has the characteristic of the convexity. While for the discontinuous phase transition, the graph of the final vanishing moment possesses the characteristic of the concavity.Just before the critical point, it is found that the ratio between the maximum of the sequential vanishing clusters sizes and the network size N can be used to decide the phase transition type. We show that when the ratio is larger than or equal to zero in the thermodynamic limit, the percolation phase transition is first or second order respectively. For our model, the numerical simulations indicate that there exists a tricritical point qcwhich is estimated to be between0.2 < qc< 0.25 separating the two phase transition types.
