Due to the lack of sufficient experience in commercial plant operation, HAT cycle has a great demand for modeling and simulation of the system and its components, especially the saturator, to provide reference for system design and optimization. The conventional saturator models are usually based on the theory of heat and mass transfer, which need two accurate coefficients to ensure convincing results. This work proposes a global heat and mass transfer coefficient based on cooling tower technology to model the saturator in small-scale HAT cycle. Compared with the experimental data, the simulation results show that the proposed model well predicts the dynamic humidity and temperature distribution characteristics of saturator at low air pressure and temperature.展开更多

It can represent and maintain one generic structure that encompasses all variants of a product. With the combination of product-oriented notation,this approach further gives a high degree of flexibility to support the user in the product variant specification task. The generic BOM system is then introduced for the particular product variant,and a prototype system has been developed. It is indicated that the presented approach is feasible.展开更多

The initial hanger tensions are first obtained through an iterative analysis by combining the girder-tower-only finite element(FE) model with the analytical program for shape finding of the spatial cable system. These initial hanger tensions, together with the corresponding cable coordinates and internal forces, are then included into the FE model of the total bridge system, the nonlinear analysis of which involves the optimization technique. Calculations are repeated until the optimization algorithm converges to the most optimal hanger tensions(i.e. the desired reasonable finished bridge state). The "temperature rigid arm" is introduced to offset the unavoidable initial deformations of the girder and tower, which are due to the huge axial forces originated from the main cable. Moreover, by changing the stiffness coefficient K in the girder-tower-only FE model, the stiffness proportion of the main girder, the tower or the cable subsystem in the whole structural system could be adjusted according to the design intentions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined and demonstrated by one simple tutorial example and one self-anchored suspension bridge.展开更多

Research was carried out in different ways. First,tests were conducted in the wind tunnel. And numerical simulation was performed on the basis of tests. Results from calculation were consistent with tests,indicating that numerical method could help evaluate characteristics of airfoils. Then the results were confirmed by compared with empirical data. The study also showed that the determining factor of lift is not only the thickness ratio,but the angle of attack,the relative camber and the camber line. The thickness ratio appears to have little effect on lift coefficient at zero angle of attack,since the angle of zero lift is largely determined by the airfoil camber. According to the research,numerical simulation can be used to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils in different environment such as in the dusty or humid air.展开更多

For example,safety-related ITS services must always be low latency and entertainment-related ITS services need high data rate. The ITS dedicated short range communications (DSRC) technology to support the safetyrelated application is still under development, while long term evolution (LTE),as the next generation mobile communication systems,offers an efficient communication platform for ITS information exchange , which can meet most ITS services requirements of latency,data rate as well as communication range. In this paper,based on the time-division duplex (TDD) mode of LTE,i.e. TD-LTE,an enhanced TD-LTE network architecture is introduced to better support safety-related ITS application with low latency requirement,and some enhanced access schemes of TD-LTE are proposed to improve the performance of supporting the high-speed IP-based ITS applications in hotspots. At last,two practical application scenarios of enhanced TD-LTE systems are given.展开更多

Because the flight states of general aviation aircraft vary significantly. A Fowler flap with a double-sliding track has been designed, which is ca- pable of changing airfoil camber while cruising and climbing as well as meeting low-speed performance requirements. The aerodynamic characteristics of the variable camber Fowler flap were studied by computational simulation, and cambering was found to be beneficial for improving the lift-to-drag ratio when the lift coefficient was larger than the critical value, below which decambering was more effective; this critical value differed somewhat under different conditions. Taking the mecha- nism into account, the take-off and landing configurations were optimized on the basis of the GA (W)-1 airfoil with a 30% chord Fowler flap. Compared with reference configuration, the maximum lift coefficient of optimized take-off configuration was increased by 6.6% as well as the stalling angle and the lift-to-drag ratio were increased by 1.3° and 7.58%, respectively. Moreover, the maximum lift coefficient of the optimized landing configuration was increased by 6.3%, and the stalling angle was increased by 1.1°; however, the nose-down pitching moment of both configurations increased.
