Analysis of Correlation between Concentration of Atmospheric Particulates and Humidity Based on the Aerodynamic Particle Sizer

The TSI-3321 APS was used to measure concentration of atmospheric particulates in Ranjiaba region of Yubei District in Chongqing City during March 21- 29,2014,and the temporal variations in the hourly average mass and number concentration and median particle diameter of PM10 and PM2.5 as well as their correlation with relative humidity were analyzed. The results showed that the three indicators of PM10 and PM2.5 except for the mass concentration correlated with relative humidity,of which the correlation between the mass median particle diameter and relative humidity was the best. The correlation coefficient R^2 between the mass median particle diameter of PM10（ PM2.5） and relative humidity was up to 0. 943（ 0. 832）. Therefore,relative humidity and pressure are key impact factors of indicators of particles.

Experimental and computational analysis of the coolant distribution considering the viscosity of the cutting fluid during machining with helical deep hole drills

An experimental analysis regarding the distribution of the cutting fluid is very difficult due to the inaccessibility of the contact zone within the bore hole.Therefore,suitable simulation models are necessary to evaluate new tool designs and optimize drilling processes.In this paper the coolant distribution during helical deep hole drilling is analyzed with high-speed microscopy.Micro particles are added to the cutting fluid circuit bya developed high-pressure mixing vessel.After the evaluation of suitable particle size,particle concentration and coolant pressure,a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation is validated with the experimental results.The comparison shows a very good model quality with a marginal difference for the flow velocity of 1.57%between simulation and experiment.The simulation considers the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.The results show that the fluid velocity in the chip flutes is low compared to the fluid velocity at the exit of the coolant channels of the tool and drops even further between theguidechamfers.Theflow velocity and the flow pressure directly at the cutting edge decrease to such an extent that the fluid cannot generate a sufficient cooling or lubrication.With the CFD simulation a deeper understanding of the behavior and interactions of the cutting fluid is achieved.Based on these results further research activities to improve the coolant supply can be carried out with great potential to evaluate new tool geometries and optimize the machining process.
