Having high damping characteristic, rubbers can be used as either soil alternative or mixed with soil to reduce vibration when seismic loads are of great concern. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the dynamic properties of such mixtures prior to practical applications. To this reason, torsional resonant column and dynamic triaxial experiments were carried out and the effect of the important parameters like rubber content and ratio of mean grain size of rubber solids versus soil solids(D50,r/D50,s) on dynamic response of mixtures in a range of low to high shearing strain amplitude from about 4×10-4% to 2.7% were investigated. Considering engineering applications, specimens were prepared almost at the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content to model a mixture layer above the ground water table and in low precipitation region. The results show that tire inclusion significantly reduces the shear modulus and increases the damping ratio of the mixtures. Also decrease in D50,r/D50,s causes the mixture to exhibit more rubber-like behavior. Finally, normalized shear modulus versus shearing strain amplitude curve was proposed for engineering practice.展开更多

Decomposition of nitrous acid and oxidation side reaction.are suppressed in a closed reaction system. The system pressure is used as the criterion of the end of reaction, avoiding excessive feeding and reducing'the decomposition'of nitrous acid. The head space of the reactor is used as the gas buffer, stabilizing the feeding fluctuations and inhibiting the side reaction, decomposition of nitrous acid. Nitrogen oxide concentration is controlled at the minimum level.Thus the zero release ofnitrogen ox!de waste gas can be achieved without using any absorption process.展开更多

Engineering practices and related researches show that the body structures of three types of diffusers are irrational. To solve the problem, an energy-saving diffuser is designed on the basis of the velocity potential theory. Under conditions of inlet velocity from 7 m/s to 32 m/s, 7 condition experiments using the energy-saving diffuser of 2.31 AER (area-enlarging ratio) and 5 condi- tion experiments using the energy-saving diffuser of 2.00 AER were conducted. Through a comparative analysis of the experi- ments, the results show that the COP (coefficient of performance) of the energy-saving diffuser of 2.31 AER is better than that of the energy-saving diffuser of 2.00 AER.展开更多
