Performance of water-coupled charge blasting under different in-situ stresses

Water-coupled charge blasting is a promising technique to efficiently break rock masses.In this study,numerical models of double boreholes with water-coupled charge are established using LS-DYNA and are calibrated by the tests of rock masses subjected to explosion loads to examine its performance.The crack levels of rock mass induced by water-coupled charge blasting and air-coupled charge blasting are first compared.It is found that water-coupled charge blasting is more appropriate to fracture deep rock mass than air-coupled charge blasting.In addition,the effects of rock properties,water-coupled charge coefficients,and borehole connection angles on the performance of water-coupled charge blasting are investigated.The results show that rock properties and water-coupled charge coefficients can greatly influence the crack and fragmentation levels of rock mass induced by water-coupled charge blasting under uniform and non-uniform in-situ stresses.However,changing borehole-connection angles can only affect crack and fragmentation levels of rock mass under non-uniform in-situ stresses but barely affect those under uniform in-situ stresses.A formula is finally proposed by considering the above-mentioned factors to provide the design suggestion of water-coupled charge blasting to fracture rock mass with different in-situ stresses.

Molecular Dynamics, Physical Properties, Diffusion Coefficients and Activation Energy of the Lithium Oxide (Li-O) and Sodium Oxide (Na-O) Electrolyte (Cathode)

This work is a simulation model with the LAMMPS calculation code of an electrode based on alkali metal oxides (lithium, sodium and potassium) using the Lennard Jones potential. For a multiplicity of 8*8*8, we studied a gap-free model using molecular dynamics. Physical quantities such as volume and pressure of the Na-O and Li-O systems exhibit similar behaviors around the thermodynamic ensembles NPT and NVE. However, for the Na2O system, at a minimum temperature value, we observe a range of total energy values;in contrast, for the Li2O system, a minimum energy corresponds to a range of temperatures. Finally, for physicochemical properties, we studied the diffusion coefficient and activation energy of lithium and potassium oxides around their melting temperatures. The order of magnitude of the diffusion coefficients is given by the relation Dli-O >DNa-O for the multiplicity 8*8*8, while for the activation energy, the order is well reversed EaNa-O > EaLi-O.

Diffusion Equations of the Electric Charges and Magnetic Flux

Innovative definitions of the electric and magnetic diffusivities through conducting mediums and innovative diffusion equations of the electric charges and magnetic flux are verified in this article. Such innovations depend on the analogy of the governing laws of diffusion of the thermal, electrical, and magnetic energies and newly defined natures of the electric charges and magnetic flux as energy, or as electromagnetic waves, that have electric and magnetic potentials. The introduced diffusion equations of the electric charges and magnetic flux involve Laplacian operator and the introduced diffusivities. Both equations are applied to determine the electric and magnetic fields in conductors as the heat diffusion equation which is applied to determine the thermal field in steady and unsteady heat diffusion conditions. The use of electric networks for experimental modeling of thermal networks represents sufficient proof of similarity of the diffusion equations of both fields. By analysis of the diffusion phenomena of the three considered modes of energy transfer;the rates of flow of these energies are found to be directly proportional to the gradient of their volumetric concentration, or density, and the proportionality constants in such relations are the diffusivity of each energy. Such analysis leads also to find proportionality relations between the potentials of such energies and their volumetric concentrations. Validity of the introduced diffusion equations is verified by correspondence their solutions to the measurement results of the electric and magnetic fields in microwave ovens.

Influence of water coupling coefficient on the blasting effect of red sandstone specimens

This study investigates the impact of different water coupling coefficients on the blasting effect of red sandstone.The analysis is based on the theories of detonation wave and elastic wave,focusing on the variation in wall pressure of the blasting holes.Using DDNP explosive as the explosive load,blasting tests were conducted on red sandstone specimens with four different water coupling coefficients:1.20,1.33,1.50,and 2.00.The study examines the morphologies of the rock specimens after blasting under these different water coupling coefficients.Additionally,the fractal dimensions of the surface cracks resulting from the blasting were calculated to provide a quantitative evaluation of the extent of rock damage.CT scanning and 3D reconstruction were performed on the post-blasting specimens to visually depict the extent of damage and fractures within the rock.Additionally,the volume fractal dimension and damage degree of the post-blasting specimens are calculated.The findings are then combined with numerical simulation to facilitate auxiliary analysis.The results demonstrate that an increase in the water coupling coefficient leads to a reduction in the peak pressure on the hole wall and the crushing zone,enabling more of the explosion energy to be utilized for crack propagation following the explosion.The specimens exhibited distinct failure patterns,resulting in corresponding changes in fractal dimensions.The simulated pore wall pressure–time curve validated the derived theoretical results,whereas the stress cloud map and explosion energy-time curve demonstrated the buffering effect of the water medium.As the water coupling coefficient increases,the buffering effect of the water medium becomes increasingly prominent.

Role of on-board discharge in shock wave drag reduction and plasma cloaking

In the present paper, a physical model is proposed for reducing the problem of the drag reduction of an attached bow shock around the nose of a high-speed vehicle with on-board discharge, to the problem of a balance between the magnetic pressure and gas pressure of plane shock of a partially ionized gas consisting of the environmental gas around the nose of the vehicle and the on-board discharge-produced plasma. The relation between the shock strength and the discharge-induced magnetic pressure is studied by means of a set of one-fluid, hydromagnetic equations reformed for the present purpose, where the discharge-induced magnetic field consists of the electron current （produced by the discharge）-induced magnetic field and the partially ionized gas flow-induced one. A formula for the relation between the above parameters is derived. It shows that the discharge-induced magnetic pressure can minimize the shock strength, successfully explaining the two recent experimental observations on attached bow shock mitigation and elimination in a supersonic flow during on-board discharge [Phys. Plasmas 9 （2002） 721 and Phys. Plasmas 7 （2000） 1345]. In addition, the formula implies that the shock elimination leaves room for a layer of higher-density plasma rampart moving around the nose of the vehicle, being favourable to the plasma radar cloaking of the vehicle. The reason for it is expounded.

Study on the Discharge Characteristics of a Coaxial Pulsed Plasma Thruster

A new coaxial pulsed plasma thruster （PPT） laboratory model is designed and employed in this study. A Teflon sleeve is connected with the anode, which is shaped as a nozzle, and a cathode is mounted in the cavity of the Teflon sleeve and kept in close contact with it. A thread is then designed in the internal surface of the Teflon sleeve, and because of the strong field strength of the cathode triple junction （CTJ）, vacuum flashover occurs and a plasma jet is acquired behind the anode. The electric field distribution of the designed coaxial PPT laboratory model is simulated by MAXWELL 3D simulation software, and the plasma density and thrust are measured by a Langnmir probe and a piezoelectric thin-film sensor, respectively. Through a series of comparative experiments, we discuss the impact of optimal designs, such as the thread and the nozzle-shaped anode, on the discharge characteristics of the coaxial PPT. The experimental and simulation results indicate that the designed coaxial PPT laboratory model presents better discharge characteristics in view of its higher plasma density and greater thrust.

Spectroscopic Study of a Radio-Frequency Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge with Anodic Alumina as the Dielectric

This paper presents the fabrication and a spectroscopic study of a stable radio- frequency dielectric barrier discharge （RF DBD） in Ar with a novel dielectric, anodic alumina, at atmospheric pressure. Dielectric electrodes are fabricated from commercially available low cost impure aluminum strips by a two-step anodization process in 0.3 M solution of oxalic acid. The discharge is found to be stable with excellent spatial uniformity for the RF input power range of 30～80 W. Excitation and rotational temperatures measured in the experiment range of 1472～3255 K and 434～484 K, respectively, as the input power changes from 30 W to 80 W. These temperature ranges are suitable for surface modification applications.

Partition Equilibrium on the Interface Between a Charged Membrane and a Mixed Electrolyte Aqueous Solution

Ionic partition equilibrium on a charged membrane immersed in a mixed electrolyte solution was systematically investigated and several models were established for the determination of partition coefficients. On the basis of theoretical models, the effects of the concentration ratio λ of the fixed group(charged density) to reference electrolyte, the concentration ratio η between the two electrolytes existing in the solution and the valence of the electrolyte ions on the partition equilibrium in a positively charged membrane were analyzed and simulated within the chosen parameters in detail. The obtainable results can also be applicable to a sytem of mixed electrolytes contacting with a negatively charged membrane. The theoretical calculations were confirmed with the experimental data of model mixed electrolytes, NaCl+HCl and CaCl 2+NaCl partitioned in the system of self made negatively charged membrane sulphonated poly(phenylene oxide)(SPPO) with different charge densities.

Partition Equilibrium Between Charged Membrane and Single Electrolyte Aqueous Solution

Ionic partition equilibrium in charged membrane immersed in solution of single electrolyte with monovalence or multi-valence is systematically investigated and several expressions are established for determination of partition coefficients. On this basis, the effects of the ratio of membrane charge density to bulk electrolyte solution concentration, the charge sign and valence of electrolyte ions and the type of membrane on the partition equilibrium were analyzed and simulated within chosen parameters. It is revealed that ion partition is not related solely with the respective concentrations but also definitely with the concentration ratio of fixed group to bulk solution in addition to the charge sign and the valence. For a counterion, the partition coefficient increases with this ratio and the valence; while for a coion, the partition coefficient decreases with this ratio and the valence. The theoretical calculations were compared with the experimental data and a good agreement was observed.

Non-Stokes drag coefficient in single-particle electrophoresis:New insights on a classical problem

We measured the intrinsic electrophoretic drag coefficient of a single charged particle by optically trapping the particle and applying an AC electric field,and found it to be markedly different from that of the Stokes drag.The drag coefficient,along with the measured electrical force,yield a mobility-zeta potential relation that agrees with the literature.By using the measured mobility as input,numerical calculations based on the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations,coupled to the Navier-Stokes equation,reveal an intriguing microscopic electroosmotic flow near the particle surface,with a well-defined transition between an inner flow field and an outer flow field in the vicinity of electric double layer’s outer boundary.This distinctive interface delineates the surface that gives the correct drag coefficient and the effective electric charge.The consistency between experiments and theoretical predictions provides new insights into the classic electrophoresis problem,and can shed light on new applications of electrophoresis to investigate biological nanoparticles.

Transport Characteristics of Charge Carriers in Normal State Superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_{7-<i>&delta;</i>}

The general expressions based on the Fermi distribution of the free charge carriers are applied for estimation of the transport characteristics in superconductors at the temperature well above the superconducting phase transition temperature TC. The Hall-effect experimental results in the normal state of the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ are not finally explained. On the ground of the randomly moving charge carriers, the transport characteristics of the randomly moving charge carriers for both single type and two types of the charge carriers are presented. The particular attention has been pointed to the Hall-effect measurement results of the high-TC superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ. It is at the first time derived the Hall coefficient expression for two type of highly degenerate charge carriers (electrons and holes) on the ground of the randomly moving charge carriers at the Fermi surface. It is shown that the Hall coefficient and other transport characteristics are determined by the ratio between the electron-like and hole-like densities of states at the Fermi surface.

Study and Comparison of Swelling and Compressibility Characteristics of Crumb Marl, Flaky Marl with Attapulgite and Sandy Clay from the Diamniadio Urban Pole at the Oedometer

In Senegal, the Diamniadio, Sebikhotane and Bargny sector contains clay soils that are problematic for construction. In order to have more information on the behavior of the clay soils of Diamniadio, free swelling tests followed by load-discharge cycles were carried out according to standard NF P 94-090-1. These tests were carried out using an Oedometric device on the three samples from the study site (sandy clays with calcareous concretion, marls with crumbs and laminated marls with attapulgite) to apprehend their swelling aspects in saturated conditions. For the free swelling test, a determination of the different swelling phases will be carried out followed by a comparison of the rate of evolution of the phases for the three samples from the site. In the same vein, the compressibility characteristics of the samples will also be provided from load-unload Oedometric tests. Thereafter, we proceed to a comparison of the void index at the initial state of the samples after two charge-discharge cycles and the influence of the cycles on the reorganization of the internal structure of the samples. These studies will provide more information on the swelling behavior of Diamniadio soils in the presence of water.

不耦合装药系数对岩体爆破损伤的影响

在爆破工程中,选择合适的装药结构能够有效提高炸药利用率,从而改善爆破效果。基于RHT(Riedel-Hiermaier-Thomamodel)动态响应力学关系,采用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件研究了偏心不耦合装药条件下不耦合系数K对岩体爆破荷载的影响,以及爆破过程中岩体的损伤情况。通过建立单孔偏心不耦合爆破模型,分析了不耦合系数K为1.0、1.5、2.0、2.5、3.0和3.5条件下的有效应力、振动速度、爆破地震波能量和损伤状况。同时,研究了不同不耦合系数K条件下爆心距(l)与损伤度(D)、质点振动速度(PPV)与爆心距(l),以及振动速度(vpp)与损伤度(D)之间的关系。结果表明:随着不耦合系数K的增大,耦合侧与不耦合侧有效应力和峰值振动速度、地震波峰值能量略微减小;粉碎区和裂隙区范围逐渐减小,且粉碎区损伤半径较裂隙区减小速率更大。岩体损伤程度和质点振动速度(vpp)均随着爆心距的增大而逐渐减小。质点振动速度越大损伤程度也越大,当vpp=50.4 cm/s时,岩体中的损伤变量达到损伤破坏阈值(D=0.19);当vpp>140.6 cm/s时,损伤度D>0.80。

径向不耦合装药孔壁冲击压力特性

径向不耦合装药结构广泛应用于实际爆破工程中,为探究径向不耦合装药孔壁冲击压力的变化规律,基于冲击波理论,利用激波管模型对径向不耦合装药条件下孔内波系作用过程进行简化分析。研究了孔内爆炸冲击波在各介质面的冲击压力,获得了径向不耦合装药条件下孔壁初始冲击压力的计算表达式,模拟了径向不耦合装药时冲击波的作用过程。研究结果表明:径向空气层的存在极大削减了爆炸冲击波压力,孔壁峰值压力在不耦合系数1~2时发生指数型衰减,在不耦合系数大于2时,其衰减速度较缓慢。冲击波作用在孔壁处时存在多个波峰,且初始峰值压力最大,后续峰值压力随时间的延长逐渐减小;随着不耦合系数的增大,初始峰值压力逐渐减小且到达峰值压力的出现时间也逐渐延后;不耦合系数越大,多波峰特性越明显,不耦合系数较小时峰值压力较大,会对围岩产生较大的破坏。为减小对围岩的破坏且满足相应的爆破要求,应充分利用不耦合系数较大时的多波峰特性,根据岩石性质选择合理的径向装药系数。

PCCI-DI是一种部分预混充量压缩着火和燃料直接喷射燃烧的组合工作方式,可有效降低发动机的NOx排放,但其在高负荷工作时易受到爆震影响,导致发动机功率下降,排放恶化。为此,开展了冷EGR对DME PCCI-DI发动机燃烧和排放特性影响的试验研究。结果表明:随着EGR率的增加,缸内最高燃烧压力下降,主燃烧期推迟并略有延长,NOx排放下降,但较大的EGR率会导致PCCI-DI发动机HC和CO排放迅速升高。采用冷EGR在一定程度上可以改善PCCI-DI发动机的燃烧过程,拓宽发动机的工作范围。
