Flux vector splitting solutions for coupling hydraulic transient of gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow in pipelines

The gas-liquid-solid three-phase mixed flow is the most general in multiphase mixed transportation. It is significant to exactly solve the coupling hydraulic transient problems of this type of multiphase mixed flow in pipelines. Presently, the method of characteristics is widely used to solve classical hydraulic transient problems. However, when it is used to solve coupling hydraulic transient problems, excessive interpolation errors may be introduced into the results due to unavoidable multiwave interpolated calculations. To deal with the problem, a finite difference scheme based on the Steger- Warming flux vector splitting is proposed. A flux vector splitting scheme is established for the coupling hydraulic transient model of gas-liquid-solid three-phase mixed flow in the pipelines. The flux subvectors are then discretized by the Lax-Wendroff central difference scheme and the Warming-Beam upwind difference scheme with second-order precision in both time and space. Under the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions and the corresponding boundary conditions, an effective solution to those points located at the boundaries is developed, which can avoid the problem beyond the calculation region directly induced by the second-order discrete technique. Numerical and experimental verifications indicate that the proposed scheme has several desirable advantages including high calculation precision, excellent shock wave capture capability without false numerical oscillation, low sensitivity to the Courant number, and good stability.

Experimental and Molecular Simulations for Evaluating the Effect of Lubricity Improvers on the Property of Jet Fuel

Since the 1990 s, the kerosene fuel(code: JP-8) had been applied in the ground equipment provided with direct injection compression ignition engines in the U.S. Army, resulting in increased occurrence of injection pump failures. Anti-wear additives must be used in the single fuel due to its poor lubricity. In the present work, lubricity improvers were selected on the basis of molecular simulation theoretically and these agents were evaluated to improve the lubricity of jet fuel using the high frequency reciprocating rig(HFRR) apparatus and the ball-on-cylinder lubricity evaluator(BOCLE). It was revealed that dimer acid with higher value of adsorption energy on the Fe(110) plane surface had more efficient lubricity promoting properties than that of naphthenic acid. The experimental results suggested that the dimer acid had a better tribological behavior compared with that of naphthenic acid used as lubricity improver of jet fuel. And addition of anti-wear additives at a dosage of 15 μg/g was able to promote the lubricity of jet fuel to a required level on BOCLE, while a higher concentration over 80 μg/g was needed to improve the lubricity to a demanded value of diesel on HFRR.

Experimental study on creep mechanics characteristics of gassy under disturbance conditions

Creep mechanics characteristics of large scale tectonic coal was studied under gas draingae and disturbance conditions by using the new self-developed coal gas cou- pling three axial creep equipment.The results show that when σ_1 is smaller,σ_3 is larger, gas pressure and disturbance load are smaller,gassy coal has no disturbance to creep. When σ_3 is smaller,gas pressure and σ_1 are larger,disturbance load is constant,gassy coal has remarkable effects of disturbance to creep.The concepts of disturbance load sensitive domain and disturbance creep sensitive domain were put forward.Under same amplitude disturbance stress condition,blasting disturbance has a stronger influence on gassy coal deformation is related to frequency of disturbance load;gas drainage,blasting excavation and mining play an important role in coal-gas outbursting.The relationship of gassy coal creep and gas pressure gradient,the creep constitutive equation built with gas pressure gradient and disturbance load as independent variables within the framework of fluid-solid two phases coupling were established.

A study of the energy yield criterion of geomaterials

The study results of the internal friction character of geomaterials conclude that the internal friction exists in mechanical elements all the time having a direction opposite to the shear stress,and the deformation failure mechanism of geomaterials greatly differs from that of metals. For metals,the failure results from shear stresses make the crystal structure slip; whereas for geomaterials,owing to its attribute of granular structures,their deformation follows the friction law,it is the co-action of shear stresses and perpendicular stresses that makes grains overcome the frictions between them,thus leading to the final failure of relative sliding.Therefore,on the basis of the cognition above,a triple shear energy criterion is proposed. Its corresponding Drucker-Prager criterion for geomaterials is also given. The new criterion can be rewritten to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion by neglecting the effect of the intermediate principal stress,and to the Mises criterion by not taking the internal friction angle into consideration. Then the studies of yield criteria commonly used are conducted systematically from the points of stress,strain and energy of geomaterials. The results show that no matter which expression form of stress,strain or energy is used for the yield criterion,the essence is the same and the triple shear energy yield criterion is the unified criterion of materials. Finally,the experimental verification is conducted in connection with the practical application of the triple shear energy yield criterion in an engineering project,and the calculation result shows that the Mohr-Coulomb criterion which only takes the single shear surface into account is more conservative than the energy criterion that does consider the effect of triple shear surfaces.

Study on the Effect of Surface Modification on the Properties of Bentonite Greases

In order to investigate the influening factors of organic modification procedure and find out connections between organic modification and the properties of bentonite greases, organic montmorillonite(OMMT) thickeners with different surfactant dosages and constituents were synthesized through intercalation reaction between sodium montmorillonite(NaM MT) and quaternary ammonium surfactants in aqueous solvents. The lubricating greases were prepared with the resulting organoclays, while the penetration and oil separation of lubricating greases were evaluated, respectively. The surface modification process of montmorillonite(MMT) was analyzed and the thickening mechanism of OMMT was discussed in this study. The experimental results showed that, with an increasing amount of surfactant, the basal spacing between the clay platelets was increasing and the structure of modifier molecules layer in the interlayer was changing from lateral bilayer to paraffin-type bilayer. The optimal properties of lubricating greases were achieved, when the structure of surfactant molecules loaded in the interlayer was the paraffin-type monolayer, which meant that the dosage of modifier was equal to 120—140 mmol/(100g). Meanwhile, it was found that the thickening performance, colloid stability, anti-wear and friction-reducing performance of lubricating greases were improved, when the surfactants were mixed with octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(OTAC) and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(HTAC). And the optimum mole ratio of two surfactants is was 1:1.

Diester Derivatives from Chemically Modified Waste Cooking Oil as Substitute for Petroleum Based Lubricating Oils

In order to provide a new way for waste cooking oil(WCO) resource utilization, several diester derivatives were obtained from WCO through a three-step chemical modifications, viz.: transesterification, epoxidation and oxirane ring opening with carboxylic acids. The effects of the chain length of side chain groups on the viscosity, acid value, low temperature fluidity, thermo-oxidative stability, tribological properties and surface tension of diester derivatives were investigated. The results showed that increasing the chain length of side chain groups had a positive influence on the viscosity, viscosity index, acid value, pour point, friction coefficient and wear scar diameter along with a negative influence on the oxidation onset temperature, volatile loss, insoluble deposit, maximum non-seizure load and surface tension. These diester derivatives exhibited improved physicochemical and tribological properties that make themselves promising environmentally friendly biolubricant basestocks.

The study on the special phenomenon,occurrence process and control mechanism of gasoline-air mixture thermal ignition in underground oil depots is of important academic and applied value for enriching scientific theories of explosion safety,developing protective technology against fire and decreasing the number of fire accidents.In this paper,the research on thermal ignition process of gasoline-air mixture in model underground oil depots tunnel has been carried out by using experiment and numerical simulation methods.The calculation result has been demonstrated by the experiment data.The five stages of thermal ignition course,which are slow oxidation stage,rapid oxidation stage,fire stage,flameout stage and quench stage,have been firstly defined and accurately descried.According to the magnitude order of concentration,the species have been divided into six categories,which lay the foundation for explosion-proof design based on the role of different species.The influence of space scale on thermal ignition in small-scale space has been found,and the mechanism for not easy to fire is that the wall reflection causes the reflux of fluids and changes the distribution of heat and mass,so that the progress of chemical reactions in the whole space are also changed.The novel mathematical model on the basis of unification chemical kinetics and thermodynamics established in this paper provides supplementary means for the analysis of process and mechanism of thermal ignition.

Theoretical study on the influence of residual stress on adhesion-induced instability in MEMS

Adhesion and residual stress play a critical role in the performance and reliability of MEMS. The influ-ence of residual stress on the adhesion-induced instability in MEMS is examined within the framework of thin elastic plate theory. The results show that the adhesion-induced instability will be mitigated if the residual stress exists in certain component of MEMS. Moreover, we find that the influence is significant only when the residual stress is under a proper magnitude (β≤20).

Flow cytometric assessment of the effects of chlorine, chloramine, and UV on bacteria by using nucleic acid stains and 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyltetrazolium chloride

Flow cytometry （FCM） has been widely used in multi-parametric assessment of cells in various research fields, especially in environmental sciences. This study detected the metabolic activity of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by using an FCM method based on 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyltetrazolium chloride （CTC）; the accuracy of this method was enhanced by adding SYTO 9 and 10% R2A broth. The disinfection effects of chlorine, chloramine, and UV were subsequently evaluated by FCM methods. Chlorine demonstrated stronger and faster destructive effects on cytomembrane than chloramine, and nucleic acids decomposed afterwards. The metabolic activity of the bacteria persisted after the cytomembmnewas damaged as detected using CTC. Low-pressure （LP） UV or medium-oressure （MP） UV treatments exerted no significant effects on membrane permeability. The metabolic activityof the bacteria decreased with increasing UV dosage, and MP-UV was a stronger inhibitor of metabolic activity than LP-UV. Furthermore, the membrane of Gram-positive S. aureus was more resistant to chlorine/chloramine than that of Gram-negative E. coil In addition, S. aureus showed higher resistance to UV irradiation than E. coli.

Preparation of Different Silane-modified Silicalite-1 Membranes and Their Pervaporation Properties for Aqueous Ethanol Solution

A multi-layer mesoporous silicalite-1 membrane supported on commercially available porous alumina tubes was prepared by firstly dip-coating the tubes in silica colloid sol and then using a hydrothermal synthetic process.The mesoporous silicalite-1 membrane was further modified by grafting organosilane compounds with various alkyl chains length(C_nH_(2n+1)(CH_3)_2SiCl;n = 1,3,8,12 and 18).These hydrophobic silicalite-1 membranes containing silane coupling agents effectively removed ethanol from 3 wt.%,5 wt.%and 10 wt.%aqueous ethanol solutions by pervaporation over a temperature range of 303-323 K.The separation factor(a) of ethanol decreased as the ethanol content in the feed solution increased from 3%to 10%whereas the permeation flux(J) basically remained constant.Ethanol separation factors(a) of 7.90-22.24 with total fluxes(J) of 0.76-2.89 kg/(m^2h) were obtained by pervaporation at 3_3-323 K for ethanol feed composition of 3%-10%.
