Effects of particle type on the particle fluidization and distribution in a liquid–solid circulating fluidized bed boiler

A liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed boiler is designed and built for visualization research by applying the fluidized bed heat transfer and fouling prevention technology to the water side of the boiler. Four types of engineering plastic particles with different physical properties are selected as the solid working media. The effect of particle types on the fluidization and distribution of particles in the boiler is investigated under different feedwater flow rates and amount of added particles by using the charge couple device image measurement and acquisition system. The results show that all kinds of particles can't be normally fluidized and accumulate in the drum at low amount of added particles and feedwater flow rate. The particles with great density and low sphericity are more likely to accumulate. The average solid holdup in the riser tubes increases with the increase in feedwater flow rate and the amount of added particles. The non-uniform degree of particle distribution in the riser tubes generally decreases with the increase in feedwater flow rate and the amount of added particles. The particles with small density and settling velocity have high average solid holdup in the riser tubes under close sphericity. In generally,the smaller the density and settling velocity, the more uniform the particle distribution in the riser tubes.Three-dimensional diagrams of the non-uniform degree of particle distribution in the riser tubes of the boiler are established.

Effect of Flow Directions on Multiphase Flow Boiling Heat Transfer Enhanced by Suspending Particles in a Circulating Evaporation System

A circulating fluidized bed evaporator(including down-flow, horizontal, and up-flow beds) was constructed to study the effect of flow directions on multiphase flow boiling heat transfer. A range of experimental investigations were carried out by varying amount of added particles(0-2%), circulation flow rate(2.15-5.16 m^3/h) and heat flux(8-16 kW/m^2). The comparison of heat transfer performance in different vertical heights of the horizontal bed was also discussed. Results reveal that the glass bead particle can enhance heat transfer compared with vapor-liquid two-phase flow for all beds. At a low heat flux(q = 8 kW/m), the heat-transfer-enhancing factor of the horizontal bed is obviously greater than those of the up-flow and down-flow beds. With the increase in the amount of added particles, the heat-transfer-enhancing factors of the up-flow and down-flow beds increase, whereas that of the horizontal bed initially increases and then decreases. However, at a high heat flux(q=16 kW/m), the heat-transfer-enhancing factors of the three beds show an increasing tendency with the increase in the amount of added particles and become closer than those at a low heat flux. For all beds, the heat-transfer-enhancing factor generally increases with the circulation flow rate but decreases with the increase in heat flux.

Terminal sliding mode control based on super-twisting algorithm

An improved non-singular terminal sliding mode control based on the super-twisting algorithm is proposed for a class of second-order uncertain nonlinear systems. This method can effectively avoid the singularity problem and obviously reduce the chattering phenomenon. The stability of the proposed procedure is proven to be finite-time convergence using the Lyapunov theory against uncertain unmodeled dynamic and external disturbances. An example is given to show the proposed improved non-singular terminal sliding mode control (SMC) law effectively. © 1990-2011 Beijing Institute of Aerospace Information.

Pressure Drop of Liquid–Solid Two-Phase Flow in the Vertical Tube Bundle of a Cold-Model Circulating Fluidized Bed Evaporator

A cold-model vertical multi-tube circulating fluidized bed evaporator was designed and built to conduct a visualization study on the pressure drop of a liquid–solid two-phase flow and the corresponding particle distribution.Water and polyformaldehyde particle(POM)were used as the liquid and solid phases,respectively.The effects of operating parameters such as the amount of added particles,circulating flow rate,and particle size were systematically investigated.The results showed that the addition of the particles increased the pressure drop in the vertical tube bundle.The maximum pressure drop ratios were 18.65%,21.15%,18.00%,and 21.15%within the experimental range of the amount of added particles for POM1,POM2,POM3,and POM4,respectively.The pressure drop ratio basically decreased with the increase in the circulating flow rate but fluctuated with the increase in the amount of added particles and particle size.The difference in pressure drop ratio decreased with the increase in the circulating flow rate.As the amount of added particles increased,the difference in pressure drop ratio fluctuated at low circulating flow rate but basically decreased at high circulating flow rate.The pressure drop in the vertical tube bundle accounted for about 70%of the overall pressure drop in the up-flow heating chamber and was the main component of the overall pressure within the experimental range.Three-dimensional phase diagrams were established to display the variation ranges of the pressure drop and pressure drop ratio in the vertical tube bundle corresponding to the operating parameters.The research results can provide some reference for the application of the fluidized bed heat transfer technology in the industry.

Synthesized few-layers hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets

The hexagonal boron nitrides （BNs） with different morphologies are synthesized on a large scale by a simple route using a two-step synthetic process. The morphology of h-BN can be easily controlled by changing the heat-treatment atmosphere. The whiskers with 0.5-10 μm in diameter and 50-100 μm in length consist of few-layers nanosheets in the NH3 gas. The BN nanosheets can be dissociated from the whiskers by ultrasonic treatment, which are less than 5 nm in thickness and even only two layers thick. The concentration and activity of N play an important rule, and abundant N and higher activity are conducive for refining grain in reaction. The H3BO3 and C3N6H6 molecules form a layer-like morphology with the interlinked planar triangle by a hydrogen-bonded structure.

Particle collision behavior and heat transfer performance in a Na_(2)SO_(4) circulating fluidized bed evaporator

The particle collision behavior and heat transfer performance are investigated to reveal the heat transfer enhancement and fouling prevention mechanism in a Na_(2)SO_(4) circulating fluidized bed evaporator.The particle collision signals are analyzed with standard deviation by varying the amount of added particles ε(1%–3%),circulation flow velocity u(0.37–1.78 m·s^(-1)),and heat flux q(7.29–12.14 kW·m^(-2)).The results show that the enhancement factor reach up to 14.6%by adding polytetrafluoroethylene particles at ε=3%,u=1.78 m·s^(-1),and q=7.29 kW·m^(-2).Both the standard deviation of the particle collision signal and enhancement factor increase with the increase in the amount of added particles.The standard deviation increases with the increase in circulation flow velocity;however,the enhancement factor initially decreases and then increases.The standard deviation slightly decreases with the increase in heat flux at low circulation flow velocity,but initially increases and then decreases at high circulation flow velocity.The enhancement factor decreases with the increase in heat flux.The enhancement factor in Na_(2)SO_(4) solution is superior to that in water at high amount of added particles.The empirical correlation for heat transfer is established,and the model results agree well with the experimental data.

This paper investigates the H_∞ synchronization of the coronary artery system with input delay and disturbance.We focus on reducing the conservatism of existing synchronization strategies.Base on the triple integral forms of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional（LKF）,we utilize single and double integral forms of Wirtinger-based inequality to guarantee that the synchronization feedback controller has good performance against time-varying delay and external disturbance.The effectiveness of our strategy can be exhibited by simulations under the different time-varying delays and different disturbances.

Heat Transfer Characteristics and Pressure Drop in a Horizontal Circulating Fluidized Bed Evaporator

A vapor-liquid-solid horizontal circulating fluidized bed evaporation setup was constructed to study the thermal-exchange properties and pressure change.The influences of the operating variables,including the amount of added particles,heat flux,and circulating flow velocity,were systematically inspected using resistance temperature detectors and pressure sensors.The results showed that the heat transfer eff ect was improved with the increase in the amount of added particles,circulating flow velocity,and particle diameter,but decreased with increasing heat flux.The pressure drop fluctuated with the increase in operating parameters,except circulating flow velocity.The enhancing factor reached up to 71.5%.The enhancing fac-tor initially increased and then decreased with the increase in the amount of added particles and circulating flow velocity,fluctuated with increasing particle diameter,and decreased with increasing heat flux.Phase diagrams showing the variation ranges of the operation variables for the enhancing factor were constructed.

Cocycle Perturbation on Banach Algebras

Letαbe a flow on a Banach algebra B, and t 7→ut a continuous function from R into the group of invertible elements of B such that usαs（ut）=us＋t, s, t∈R. Then βt =Adut？αt, t∈R is also a flow on B, where Adut（B） , utBu-1t for any B ∈ B. β is said to be a cocycle perturbation of α. We show that if α, β are two flows on a nest algebra （or quasi-triangular algebra）, thenβ is a cocycle perturbation ofα. And the flows on a nest algebra （or quasi-triangular algebra） are all uniformly continuous.

Neurocomputing van der Pauw function for the measurement of a semiconductor's resistivity without use of the learning rate of weight vector regulation

Van der Pauw＇s function is often used in the measurement of a semiconductor＇s resistivity. However, it is difficult to obtain its value from voltage measurements because it has an implicit form. If it can be expressed as a polynomial, a semiconductor＇s resistivity can be obtained from such measurements. Normally, five orders of the abscissa can provide sufficient precision during the expression of any non-linear function. Therefore, the key is to determine the coefficients of the polynomial. By taking five coefficients as weights to construct a neuronetwork, neurocomputing has been used to solve this problem. Finally, the polynomial expression for van der Pauw＇s function is obtained.

Generalized Notions of Character Amenability

In this paper, the concepts of approximate character amenability （contractibility）, uniform approximate character amenability （contractibility） and w^＊-approximate character amenability are introduced. We are concerned with the relations among the generalized concepts of character amenability for Banach algebras. We show that approximate character amenability, w^＊-approximate character amenability and approximate character contractibility are the same properties, as uniform approximate character amenability and character amenability as uniform approximate character contractibility and character contractibility. The general theory for these concepts is also developed. Moreover, approximate character amenability of several concrete classes of Banach algebras related to locally compact groups and also some discrete semigroups is considered.

Effects of 1,9-dibromnonane on the structural, photophysical properties and stability of cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals

The CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 nanocrystals(NCs) could be synthesized by multiple Cs-oleate injections as adding the 1,9-dibromnonane in the reaction solution. The 1,9-dibromnonane could provide Br-ions and the rich Br-ions effectively restrain the generation of Cs Br. The Cs4 PbBr6 wrapped around the Cs Pb Br3 NCs and the size of crystalline grain was increased with increasing the Cs-oleate as excess oleylamine. The quantum yield for 14 S4 DN reached to 99.3% due to the decrease of defects and the surface passivation of Cs4 PbBr6. There are more oleylammonium bromide on the surface of Cs Pb Br3 NCs as synthesized with1,9-dibromnonane. The ligand shell and the surface passivation of Cs4 PbBr6 restrained the decomposition of surface, consequently improved the stability of moisture and light for Cs Pb Br3 NCs. When the CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 NCs were immersed in water under UV light(365 nm) for 2 h, the PL intensity could retain 90.4%, while the 11 S1(traditional Cs Pb Br3 NCs) was only 10.9%. It indicated the stability of moisture and light for Cs Pb Br3 NCs were greatly improved, because Cs4 PbBr6 NCs effectively passivated the surface of Cs Pb Br3 NCs and restrained the generation of traps states.
