Experimental study on closed-cycle solar adsorption cooling system

A closed-cycle solar-powered adsorption cooling system is designed.The system is mainly composed of the evacuated tubular solar collectors with an area of 150 m^2,two adsorption chillers with a rated cooling capacity of 15 kW,a cooling tower,fan coils and circulating pumps.The experiments were carried out to study the operating characteristics and the performance of the system.It is found that the operation of the system presents wave characteristics because of low water capacity.The water temperatures of the inlet and the outlet of the solar collector array cyclically swing since the water entering the solar collector array comes directly from the adsorption chillers.Besides,the inlet water temperature of the adsorption chillers varies distinctly.However,the cooling effect of the system is satisfactory.Compared with an open-cycle system,the closed-cycle system has the advantage of a high electric COP（coefficient of performance）because of the reduced use of circulating pumps.

Existence of Chaotic Phenomena in a Single-Well Duffing Oscillator under Parametric Excitations

In this paper, the existence of chaotic behavior in the single-well Duffing Oscillator was examined under parametric excitations using Melnikov method and Lyapunov exponents. The minimum and maximum values were obtained and the dynamical behaviors showed the intersections of manifold which was illustrated using the MATCAD software. This extends some results in the literature. Simulation results indicate that the single-well oscillator is sensitive to sinusoidal signals in high frequency cases and with high damping factor, the amplitude of the oscillator was reduced.

Research and Application of Excitation Method Optimization in Areas with Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio of Seismic Data

In areas with a low signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data,the continuity of the seismic reflection waves in the exploration target layer is very poor,which will reduce the imaging accuracy and make it impossible to solve certain geological tasks.This article suggests an approach to address the issue of seismic acquisition by optimizing excitation parameters.It involves conducting a detailed investigation of the surface structure,enhancing the observation system,increasing the coverage appropriately,and transitioning from combined-well excitation to single-well excitation.Additionally,the use of technical tools like qualitative evaluation of the observation system and forward modeling are employed to determine the final optimized seismic acquisition plan.The effectiveness of this approach is evident from the seismic profile obtained in an exploration area in Inner Mongolia.

Application of four-component dipole shear reflection imaging to interpret the geological structure around a deviated well

Acoustic reflection imaging in deep water wells is a new application scope for offshore hydrocarbon exploration.Two-dimensional(2 D)geological structure images can be obtained away from a one-dimensional(1 D)borehole using single-well acoustic reflection imaging.Based on the directivity of dipole source and four-component dipole data,one can achieve the azimuth detection and the three-dimensional(3 D)structural information around the wellbore can be obtained.We first perform matrix rotation on the field fourcomponent data.Then,a series of processing steps are applied to the rotated dipole data to obtain the reflector image.According to the above dipole shear-wave imaging principle,we used four-component cross-dipole logging data from a deviated well in the South China Sea to image geological structures within 50 m of a deviated well,which can delineate the structural configuration and determine its orientation.The configuration of near-borehole bedding boundaries and fault structures from shear-wave imaging results agrees with those from the Inline and Xline seismic profiles of the study area.In addition,the configuration and orientation of the fault structure images are consistent with regional stress maps and the results of the borehole stress anisotropy analysis.Furthermore,the dip azimuth of the bedding boundary images was determined using borehole wall resistivity data.Results of this study indicate that integrating borehole acoustic reflection with seismic imaging not only fills the gap between the two measurement scales but also accurately delineates geological structures in the borehole vicinity.

Low-frequency characteristics extension for vibration sensors

Traditional magneto-electric vibration sensors and servo accelerometers have severe shortcomings when used to measure vibration where low frequency components predominate.A low frequency characteristic extension for velocity vibration sensors is presented in this paper.The passive circuit technology,active compensation technology and the closed- cycle pole compensation technology are used to extend the measurable range and to improve low frequency characteristics of sensors.Thses three types of low frequency velocity vibration sensors have been developed and widely adopted in China.

Reaction path synthesis methodology for waste minimization

It is a key step for reducing waste generation in chemical processes to design op-timal reaction paths. In this paper, methods of waste minimization for reaction path synthesis problems are proposed to realize eco-industrial production mode with minimum waste emission. A new conception of simple stoichiometric reaction is presented for reaction path synthesis problem. All simple stoichiometric reactions can be obtained by mathematical transformation for atom matrix of a reaction system. Based on the conception, a two-tier optimization method for complex reaction path synthesis problems is addressed. The first step is to determine the eco-nomic optimal overall reactions, and the second step to decompose each overall reaction into several sub-reactions and find out the best thermodynamic feasible reaction path. Further, a method of reaction path synthesis with waste closed-cycle is proposed based on simple stoichiometric reactions for achieving zero waste emission to poly-generation problem of multi-products. Case studies show that the proposed methods can efficiently solve practical re-action path synthesis problems.
