基于散射结构的脉冲流场与清灰压力动态特性分析

针对传统脉冲清灰中存在清灰不均匀的问题,应用上部开口散射器改善滤筒内部流场特性,从而改善清灰效果。通过数值模拟方法研究不同工况下滤筒内部脉冲流场及清灰压力的动态变化规律,探究清灰压力峰值形成机理。结果表明:脉冲喷吹气流以压力波的方式进入滤筒并向侧壁传递,而侧壁处气流径向速度与相同测点的清灰压力随时间等比例同步变化,两者存在直接关联。由于散射器对脉冲喷吹气流的分流和导流作用,相对无散射器而言,滤筒上部径向速度提高,清灰压力相应增大,其峰值由484 Pa增至744 Pa,增加了53.7%;滤筒中、下部,散射器的存在使脉冲喷吹流量和轴向速度减小,降低了脉冲气流对滤筒内部气流的压缩作用,滤筒中下部压力降低,滤筒下部清灰压力峰值由2175 Pa减小至1468 Pa,减小了32.5%。因此增设散射器可以在满足清灰要求的同时明显提高脉冲清灰的均匀性。

Grain refinement of pure aluminum by direct current pulsed magnetic field and inoculation

The combined effects of direct current pulsed magnetic field （DC-PMF） and inoculation on pure aluminum were investigated, the grain refinement behavior of DC-PMF and inoculation was discussed. The experimental results indicate that the solidification micro structure of pure aluminum can be greatly refined under DC-PMF. Refinement of pure aluminum is attributed to electromagnetic undercooling and forced convection caused by DC-PMF. With single DC-PMF, the grain size in the equiaxed zone is uneven. However, under DC-PMF, by adding 0.05% （mass fraction） Al5Ti-B, the grain size of the sample is smaller, and the size distribution is more uniform than that of single DC-PMF. Furthermore, under the combination of DC-PMF and inoculation, with the increase of output current, the grain size is further reduced. When the output current increases to 100 A, the average grain size can decrease to 113 μn.

Simulation of electromagnetic-flow fields in Mg melt under pulsed magnetic field

The effects of a pulsed magnetic field on the solidified microstructure of pure Mg were investigated.The results show that microstructure of pure Mg is considerably refined via columnar-to-equiaxed growth under the pulsed magnetic field and the average grain size is refined to 260？？ under the optimal processing conditions.A mathematical model was built to describe the interaction of the electromagnetic-flow fields during solidification with ANSYS software.The pulsed electric circuit was first solved and then it is substituted into the magnetic field model.The fluid flow model was solved with the acquired electromagnetic force.The effects of pulse voltage frequency on the current wave and on the distribution of magnetic and flow fields were numerically studied.The pulsed magnetic field increases melt convection,which stirs and fractures the dendritic arms into pieces.These broken pieces are transported into the bulk liquid by the liquid flow and act as nuclei to enhance grain refinement.The Joule heat effect produced by the electric current also participates in the microstructural refinement.

Numerical Analysis of Flow Field in Ceramic Filter During Pulse Cleaning

In the commercial utilization of rigid ceramic filters, the performance of pulse cleaning has crucial effects on the long-term stable operation. In order to get a clear insight into the nature of this cleaning process and provide a solid basis for industrial applications, the flow in ceramic candle filter was investigated. The flow in the pulse-jetspace and inside the ceramic candle is regarded as two- dimensional, unsteady, compressible flow, and numerical simulation is carried out by computational fluid dynamics. The numerical predictions of flow field are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. Effects of the candle diameter, the separation distance between the nozzle and the candle injector and the length of the candle on the flowfield have been numerically analyzed to provide the basis for the optimum design of the pulse cleaning system.

Large field emission current and density from robust carbon nanotube cathodes for continuous and pulsed electron sources

Highly adhesive cold cathodes with high field emission performance are fabricated by using a screen-print- ing method. The emission density of carbon nanotube （CNT） cold cathode reaches 207.0 mA cm-2 at an electric field of 4.5 Vμm-1 under continuous driving mode, and high peak current emission of 315.8 mA corresponding to 4.5 A cm 2 at the electric field of 10.3 V μm-1 under pulsed driving mode. The emission patterns of the cold cathodes are of excellent uniformity that was revealed by vivid luminescent patterns of phosphor coated transparent indium tin oxide （ITO） an- ode. The cold cathodes also exhibit highly stable emission under continuous and pulsed driving modes. The high adhe- sion of CNTs to molybdenum substrates results in robust cold cathodes and is responsible for the high field emission performance. This robust CNT emitter could meet the operating requirements of continuous and pulsed electron sources, and it provides promising applications in various vacuum- micro/nanoelectronic devices.

Behaviors of field emitters under pulsed voltages

In this paper we described our study of the behaviors of field emitters driven by square-wave voltages. We observed phenomena under pulsed voltages that generally do not manifest themselves under direct-current voltages. We interpreted these phenomena with the cathode and anode combined treated as equivalent to a resistor and a condenser in series connection. First,because of the delay caused by the charging process of the condenser, the waveform of the voltage across the cathode-anode gap was remarkably distorted. Second, the resistor led to considerable attenuation in field emission, which was clearly observable within each pulse and became more dramatic with increasing repetition frequency of the pulses. Furthermore, the field emission currents under direct-current voltages were lower than those under pulsed voltages. This disparity is attributed to rising resistance in the circuit with rising temperature. We also discussed the restrictions that the waveform distortion and current attenuation could impose on potential field emitter applications.
