Understanding the changing characteristics of floods as well as the affecting factors is an important prerequisite of flood disaster prevention and mitigation. The present study identified the characteristics variations of historical floods in the Poyang Lake and their tendencies based on the Mann-Kendall(M-K) test, and also investigated the related affecting factors, both from climate and human activities. The results revealed that the highest flood stages, duration as well as hazard coefficient of floods showed a long-term increasing linear trend during the last 60 years with the M-K statistic of 1.49, 1.60 and 1.50, respectively. And, a slightly increasing linear trend in the timing of the highest stages indicated the floods occurred later and later during the last six decades. The rainfall during the flood season and subsequent discharges of the Changjiang(Yangtze) River and runoff from the Poyang Lake Basin were mainly responsible for the severe flood situation in the Poyang Lake in the 1990 s. In addition, the intensive human activities, including land reclamation and levee construction, also played a supplementary role in increasing severity of major floods. While, the fewer floods in the Poyang Lake after 2000 can be attributed to not only the less rainfall over the Poyang Lake Basin and low discharges of the Changjiang River during flood periods, but also the stronger influences of human activity which increased the floodwater storage of the Poyang Lake than before.展开更多

The factors affecting the start-up phase are the prime targets. Among the key investigated factors are wellbore geometry effects, reservoir heterogeneity and circulation phase length. Each of the parameters was investigated via steam chamber development observation along the well pair length and the cross sections in the mid, toe and heel areas. In addition, the cumulative recovery in given time, steam-to-oil ratio and CDOR (calendar day oil rate) production data are used to backup the observations produced in the simulated model. Furthermore, an additional component developed during the research is a statistical modification of a layer cake model with which to create a heterogeneous reservoir to represent real reservoir conditions, based on Monte Carlo's simulation.展开更多

DFP granules exhibited low total amounts of impurities when prepared through the wet granulation method using a granulating solvent with a low water/ethanol ratio. The impurities of the wet DFP mass dried at 70 ℃ were higher than those dried at 50 ℃ or 60 ℃. DFP granules were stable under strong light exposure during preparation. DFP granules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1:4 water/ethanol ratio had a relatively smaller particle size and higher angle of repose than those prepared using granulating solvents with other water/ethanol ratios. The dissolution rate of DFP capsules prepared using four different water/ethanol ratios was less than 2% after 10 min of dissolution and increased to 95% within 30 min of dissolution. The total amount of drug impurities of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with 1:4 water/ethanol ratio was considerably lower than those of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1:0 water/ethanol solvent ratio. Regardless of the water/ethanol ratio, the capsules showed poor stability when exposed to high temperature(60 ℃) and strong light(4500±500 Lux) for 10 days, but were relatively stable at high humidity(92.5% RH). The results of the long-term stability(25±2 ℃ and 60%±10% relative humidity) study showed that DFP granules were more stable than DFP capsules, and were stable for 12 months. The type of encapsulating material did not affect the 2-month stability of DFP. DFP granules are sensitive to granulating solvent and drying temperature and DFP capsules should be stored away from high temperature and strong light.展开更多

A small cooling fan was simulated using CFD software for three blade stagger angles (30.5°, 37.5°, 44.5°)and obtained the internal flow field and the static characteristics. Research indicated that the stagger angle has an obvious effect on the static characteristics of a fan. For flow rates below 0.0104 mVs, total pressure is the greatest when the stagger angle is 37.5°; flow rates higher than 0.0104 m^3/s, the total pressure is greatest when the stagger angle is 44.5° For the same flow rates, the velocity at inlet of pressure surface increases with in- creasing stagger angle, but the change of velocity on the suction surface is very small. For one model, vortices and the speed of revolution surfaces decrease with tip clearance increasing. But for other three models, increasing the stagger angle, the vortex intensity and speed of revolution surfaces at same height tip clearance increases, simultaneously, the position of vortex offset from the top of the rotor blade to the suction surface.展开更多

文摘Many factors such as outer diameter, hub ratio, blade numbers, shape and stagger angle affect the performance of small cooling fans. A small cooling fan was simulated using CFD software for three blade stagger angles (30.5°, 37.5°, 44.5°)and obtained the internal flow field and the static characteristics. Research indicated that the stagger angle has an obvious effect on the static characteristics of a fan. For flow rates below 0.0104 mVs, total pressure is the greatest when the stagger angle is 37.5°; flow rates higher than 0.0104 m^3/s, the total pressure is greatest when the stagger angle is 44.5° For the same flow rates, the velocity at inlet of pressure surface increases with in- creasing stagger angle, but the change of velocity on the suction surface is very small. For one model, vortices and the speed of revolution surfaces decrease with tip clearance increasing. But for other three models, increasing the stagger angle, the vortex intensity and speed of revolution surfaces at same height tip clearance increases, simultaneously, the position of vortex offset from the top of the rotor blade to the suction surface.

文摘In this paper,we carried out a series of experiments on fouling characteristics of 6 kinds of spiral-grooved tubes to investigate the impact of hardness,temperature and structure parameters of cold water on fouling characteristics of spiral-grooved tube.Experimental results showed that when cold-water temperature decreased,fouling resistance of spiral-grooved tube also decreased.Asymptotic fouling resistance increased accompanied with increase of cold-water hardness.However,the asymptotic fouling resistance appeared to reduce when hardness increased to some extent.Geometric parameters of spiral-grooved tubes had remarkable effect on fouling resistance,which showed a tendency of decrease with increase of groove depth and decrease of pitch.In this study,the minimum asymptotic fouling resistance was observed in the spiral-grooved tube with small pitch and large groove depth.
