Basic Study of Air Leakage Position Based on Thermography Mosaic Technology

When locating the leakage of thermal field of a certain container, it is hard for us to evaluate the leakage with one or several separate thermal infrared images. Instead, panoramic imagery with a wide visual angle and high distinguishability is always needed. However, we can only get images for part of the scene because of the limited visual field of thermography and the large size of the measured object in practical. What is more, the hardware that can be used to get panoramic images is always expensive and cannot be used in large scale. Therefore, this paper introduces image mosaic technology, which can be used to get the intact thermal infrared image of the measured and increase the efficiency of detection. The experiment results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Analysis on the influencing factors of radioactive tritium leakage and diffusion from an indoor high‑pressure storage vessel

Radioactive tritium leakage from high-pressure storage vessels is a common nuclear leakage event.Different leakage conditions have different effects on tritium diffusion,resulting in different degrees of radioactive hazards.This study focuses on tritium leakage from high-pressure storage vessels and analyzes the influence of different leakage orifice shapes,leakage positions,and the presence of obstacles in the scene space on tritium leakage diffusion.The results show that there is little difference in the radial diffusion velocity of tritium gas along the jet axis between circular and square leakage orifices.The radial diffusion velocity of tritium gas in the long-axis direction of the rectangular leakage orifice is larger than that in the short-axis direction,and the larger the aspect ratio of the rectangle is,the greater the difference is in the diffusion velocity.In addition,leakage from the storage vessel below the air inlet is beneficial to the dilution of tritium,whereas leakage from the air vents leads to a slow decrease in the tritium concentration.The obstacles present in the tritium scene space hinder the migration of tritium gas and prolong the time for the tritium concentration to reach stabilization.This study provides a theoretical basis for the disposal of tritium in tritium leakage accidents by analyzing the influence of different leakage conditions in storage vessels on tritium gas diffusion.

Evaluation of the Air Leakage Flowrate in Sintering Processes

Iron ore sintering is a pre-treatment technology by which orefines are converted into porous and permeable sin-ters,which are the used in blast furnaces.This process can be adversely affected by air leakage phenomena of various types.As experimental measurements are relatively difficult and often scarcely reliable,here a theoretical model based on typicalfluid-dynamic concepts and relationships is elaborated.Through the analysis of two extreme cases,namely,those in which leakage is due to a small hole or a full rupture,a generalized hole-bed mod-el is introduced,which for thefirst time also includes a complete bed permeability equation and can deal with different leakage position conditions.The results show that the model can evaluate the influence of leakage on the system at one time and be used to calculate theflowrate and pressure drop.Notably,the obtained results are within a 15%deviation with respect to available experiment values,used for comparison.

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Heat-fluid-solid Coupling of Double Flapper-nozzle Servo Valve

The double flapper-nozzle servo valve is widely used to launch and guide the equipment. Due to the large instantaneous flow rate of servo valve working under specific operating conditions, the temperature of servo valve would reach 120℃ and the valve core and valve sleeve deform in a short amount of time. So the control precision of servo valve significantly decreases and the clamping stagnation phenomenon of valve core appears. In order to solve the problem of degraded control accuracy and clamping stagnation of servo valve under large temperature difference circumstance, the numerical simulation of heat-fluid-solid coupling by using finite element method is done. The simulation result shows that zero position leakage of servo valve is basically impacted by oil temperature and change of fit clearance. The clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of the valve core and valve sleeve. The distribution roles of the temperature and thermal-deformation of shell, valve core and valve sleeve and the pressure, velocity and temperature field of flow channel are also analyzed. Zero position leakage and electromagnet＇s current when valve core moves in full-stroke are tested using Electro-hydraulic Servo-valve Characteristic Test-bed of an aerospace sciences and technology corporation. The experimental results show that the change law of experimental current at different oil temperatures is roughly identical to simulation current. The current curve of the electromagnet is smooth when oil temperature is below 80℃, but the amplitude of current significantly increases and the hairy appears when oil temperature is above 80℃. The current becomes smooth again after the warped valve core and valve sleeve are reground. It indicates that clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of valve core and valve sleeve. This paper simulates and tests the heat-fluid-solid coupling of double flapper-nozzle servo valve, and the obtained results provide the reference value for the design of double flapper-nozzle force feedback servo valve.
