The calculation results show that increasing regenerator flow resistance can lead to a smaller extent of DC flow.Therefore,a better stability performance of the cooler can be realized.On this basis,the stability characteristics of the cooler with various regenerator matrix arrangements are studied by experiments.By replacing 30% space of 247 screens of stainless steel mesh at the cold part of the regenerator by lead balls of 0.25 mm diameter,a long-time stable temperature output at 80 K region is achieved. This achievement provides a new way to obtain stable performance for pulse tube coolers at high temperature and is helpful for its application.展开更多

Results from both numerical simulations and experiments showed that the flow resistance of the working fluid in this new corrugation PHE, compared with the traditional chevron-type one, was decreased by more than 50%, and corresponding heat transfer performance was decreased by about 25%.

In this article, a Two-Dimensional（2D） numerical model is proposed to investigate the pyrolysis effects on the heat transfer characteristics and flow resistance of n-decane under supercritical pressure. The one-step global pyrolytic reaction mechanism consisting of 19 species is adopted to simulate the pyrolysis process of n-decane. The thermophysical and transport properties of the fluid mixture are computed and incorporated into the numerical model for simulation. Comparisons between the current predictions and the open published experimental data are carried out and good agreement is achieved. In order to better understand the complicated physicochemical process, further investigations on the turbulent flow and heat transfer coupled with pyrolysis in a tube have been performed under various operating conditions. The results indicate that the pyrolysis intensively takes place in the high fluid temperature region. The occurrence of the heat transfer deterioration would lead to increasing n-decane conversion at the beginning of the heated section. It is found that the pyrolysis could improve the heat transfer deterioration and promote the heat transfer enhancement. Meanwhile, pyrolysis gives rise to an abrupt increase of flow resistance. The mechanisms of the physicochemical phenomena are also analyzed in a systematic manner, which would be very helpful in the development of the regenerative cooling technology.展开更多

Traditional models are inapplicable to explain the significant differences in the flow resistance of different liquid–solid systems.On the other hand, friction reduction in liquid nano-lubrication has received considerable attention during the past decades. Both fields are exposed to a common scientific issue regarding friction reduction during liquid–solid relative motion at nanoscale. A promising approach to control the flow resistance of nano-confined fluids is to reference the factors affecting liquid nano-lubrication. In this review, two concepts of the friction coefficient derived from fluid flow and tribology were discussed to reveal their intrinsic relations. Recent progress on low or ultra-low friction coefficients in liquid nano-lubrication was summarized based on two situations. Finally, a new strategy was introduced to study the friction coefficient based on analyzing the intermolecular interactions through an atomic force microscope(AFM), which is a cutting-point to build a new model to study flowresistance at nanoscale.展开更多

This paper explores the relationship between the state and the resistance of an individual submerged vegetation, and the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation is determined by the state of the submerged vegetation. Based on the experimental observations, the state and the resistance of an individual submerged vegetation are analyzed under different inflow conditions. At the same time, the influences of the various submerged vegetations on the flow resistance are discussed under the same inflow conditions. Some interesting relationships are obtained between the flow resistance and the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation, and it is shown that the flow resistance increases with the increase of the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation, and they are positively correlated.展开更多

In this paper, a total of 144 hydraulic flume experiments were carried out to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of overland flow. Results show that hydraulic resistance is negatively correlated with Reynolds number on non-simulated vegetated slopes, while positively on vegetated slopes. The law of composite resistance agrees with the dominant resistance, depending on simulated vegetation stem,surface roughness, and discharge. Surface roughness has greater influence on overland flow resistance than vegetation stem when unit discharge is lower than the low-limited critical discharge, while vegetation has a more obvious influence when unit discharge is higher than the upper-limited critical discharge. Combined effects of simulated vegetation and surface roughness are unequal to the sum of the individual effects through t-test, implying the limitation of using linear superposition principle in calculating overland flow resistances under combined effect of roughness elements.展开更多

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the turbine blades, cooling structures must be set inside turbine blades to cool them. Heat transfer coefficient and flow resistance are the key parameters to measure the cooling characteristics of internal cooling structures. In this paper, the characteristics of flow resistance in a rotating ribbed channel is presented numerical simulation under different rib spacings, rib angles, and thermal boundary conditions. The results show that, separation and reattachment of fluid between ribs is the key effect of rib spacing on flow resistance. The flow resistance is small when the rib spacing is small, because it's difficult for the fluid to form reattachment between the ribs. With the increase of rib spacing, the reattachment phenomenon is more obvious and the flow resistance increases accordingly. In general,p: e=10 channel has the maximum flow resistance. Secondary flow caused by the ribs is the key factor affecting the flow resistance characteristics with different rib angles. The secondary flow interacts with the main flow and causes flow loss through mixing, thus affecting the flow resistance of the channel. Under static condition, the flow resistance of 60°ribbed channel is the largest. The flow resistance of channel was affected by the temperature rise ratio also. And with the increase of the Ro, the temperature rise ratio has a more obvious effect on the flow resistance of the ribbed channel.When Ro=0.45, the flow resistance of the channel with a temperature rise ratio of 0.4 is 2.4 times that of the channel without temperature rise, while when Ro=0.3, it is 1.6 times, and when Ro=0.15, it is 1.2 times.展开更多

Experiments were carried out at varying the flue gas velocity and slurry flux in concurrent and countercurrent tower respectively. The experimental results showed that the flow resistance of absorber increased rapidly with an increase of the flue gas velocity whether in concurrent or in countereurrent tower, and the up trend of the flow resistance in the cotmtercurrent tower was higher than those in the concurrent one. The influence of the flue gas velocity on the flow resistance of absorber was more than those of the slurry flux density. Whether in the concurrent tower or in the cotmtercurrent one, increasing the flue gas velocity or the slurry flux density would enhance the desulphurization efficiency. The influence of the slurry flux density on the desulfurisation efficiency was greater than those of the flue gas velocity.展开更多

The one-step global pyrolytic reaction mechanism consisting of 19 species is adopted to simulate the pyrolysis process of n-decane. The thermophysical and transport properties of the fluid mixture are computed and incorporated into the numerical model for simulation. Comparisons between the current predictions and the open published experimental data are carried out and good agreement is achieved. In order to better understand the complicated physicochemical process, further investigations on the turbulent flow and heat transfer coupled with pyrolysis in a tube have been performed under various operating conditions. The results indicate that the pyrolysis intensively takes place in the high fluid temperature region. The occurrence of the heat transfer deterioration would lead to increasing n-decane conversion at the beginning of the heated section. It is found that the pyrolysis could improve the heat transfer deterioration and promote the heat transfer enhancement. Meanwhile, pyrolysis gives rise to an abrupt increase of flow resistance. The mechanisms of the physicochemical phenomena are also analyzed in a systematic manner, which would be very helpful in the development of the regenerative cooling technology.

This paper explores the relationship between the state and the resistance of an individual submerged vegetation, and the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation is determined by the state of the submerged vegetation. Based on the experimental observations, the state and the resistance of an individual submerged vegetation are analyzed under different inflow conditions. At the same time, the influences of the various submerged vegetations on the flow resistance are discussed under the same inflow conditions. Some interesting relationships are obtained between the flow resistance and the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation, and it is shown that the flow resistance increases with the increase of the relative bending rigidity of the submerged vegetation, and they are positively correlated.

文摘Since the Three Gorges Dam(TGD)was put into operation,the flood water level at an identical discharge rate has not displayed a decreasing trend along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River(MYR).The flow resistance variations of the channel and bars in response to the operation of the TGD remain poorly understood,despite the importance of understanding these for water disaster mitigation and water environment regulation.Herein,the impacts of the TGD on the downstream flow resistance of the channel and bars in the MYR were analyzed using systematic surveys of hydrological datasets,cross-sectional profiles,sediment datasets,and remote sensing images,during different periods.Under the actual natural conditions in the MYR,a modified semi-empirical formula,which considered the grain,dune resistance,as well as the topographic features of the riverbed,was proposed to predict the channel resistance.Furthermore,the effect of various dam-control flow and sediment elements on the variation in different flow resistance components,and the corresponding relationships among them were investigated.Results showed a decline in the comprehensive,channel,and bar resistances as the discharge increased,whereas there was a slight increase when reaching the bank-full discharges.Notably,the bar resistance occupied 65%,while the channel resistance,in which dune resistance was much larger than grain resistance,contributed 35%to the comprehensive resistance.In addition,while flow resistance rose over time,there was a decline as the distance from the TGD increased.In conclusion,the increased dune and bar resistances,interpreted by the fluctuated channel longitudinal profile and growing vegetated area on bars,were the dominant factors preventing the flood water level from dropping.

文摘Better understanding of the role of vegetation and soil on hydraulic resistance of overland flow requires quantitative partition of their interaction. In this paper, a total of 144 hydraulic flume experiments were carried out to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of overland flow. Results show that hydraulic resistance is negatively correlated with Reynolds number on non-simulated vegetated slopes, while positively on vegetated slopes. The law of composite resistance agrees with the dominant resistance, depending on simulated vegetation stem,surface roughness, and discharge. Surface roughness has greater influence on overland flow resistance than vegetation stem when unit discharge is lower than the low-limited critical discharge, while vegetation has a more obvious influence when unit discharge is higher than the upper-limited critical discharge. Combined effects of simulated vegetation and surface roughness are unequal to the sum of the individual effects through t-test, implying the limitation of using linear superposition principle in calculating overland flow resistances under combined effect of roughness elements.
文摘In hydraulics,when we deal with the problem of sand particles moving relative to the surrounding water,Stokes'formula of resistance has usually been used to render the velocity of sedimentation of the particles.But such an approach has not been proved rigorously,and its accuracy must be carefully considered.In this paper,we discuss the problem of a sphere moving in a non-uniform flow field,on the basis of the fundamental theory of hydrodynamics.We introduce two assumptions:i)the diameter of the sphere is much smaller than the linear dimension of the flow field,and ii)the velocity of the sphere relative to the surrounding water is very small.Using these two assumptions,we solve the linearized Navier-Stokes equations and equations of continuity by the method of Laplace transform,and finally we obtain a formula for the resistance acting on a sphere moving in a non-uniform flow field.

文摘With the development of aero-engines, the turbine inlet temperature continues to rise. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the turbine blades, cooling structures must be set inside turbine blades to cool them. Heat transfer coefficient and flow resistance are the key parameters to measure the cooling characteristics of internal cooling structures. In this paper, the characteristics of flow resistance in a rotating ribbed channel is presented numerical simulation under different rib spacings, rib angles, and thermal boundary conditions. The results show that, separation and reattachment of fluid between ribs is the key effect of rib spacing on flow resistance. The flow resistance is small when the rib spacing is small, because it's difficult for the fluid to form reattachment between the ribs. With the increase of rib spacing, the reattachment phenomenon is more obvious and the flow resistance increases accordingly. In general,p: e=10 channel has the maximum flow resistance. Secondary flow caused by the ribs is the key factor affecting the flow resistance characteristics with different rib angles. The secondary flow interacts with the main flow and causes flow loss through mixing, thus affecting the flow resistance of the channel. Under static condition, the flow resistance of 60°ribbed channel is the largest. The flow resistance of channel was affected by the temperature rise ratio also. And with the increase of the Ro, the temperature rise ratio has a more obvious effect on the flow resistance of the ribbed channel.When Ro=0.45, the flow resistance of the channel with a temperature rise ratio of 0.4 is 2.4 times that of the channel without temperature rise, while when Ro=0.3, it is 1.6 times, and when Ro=0.15, it is 1.2 times.

文摘Based on volume of fluid(VoF)interface capturing method and shear-stress transport(SST)k-ω turbulence model,numerical simulation was performed to reveal the flow mechanism of metal melts in melt delivery nozzle(MDN)during gas atomization(GA)process.The experimental validation indicated that the numerical models could give a reasonable prediction on the melt flow process in the MDN.With the decrease of the MDN inner-diameter,the melt flow resistance increased for both molten aluminum and iron,especially achieving an order of 10^(2) kPa in the case of the MDN inner-diameter≤1 mm.Based on the conventional GA process,the positive pressure was imposed on the viscous aluminum alloy melt to overcome its flow resistance in the MDN,thus producing powders under different MDN inner-diameters.When the MDN inner-diameter was reduced from 4 to 2 mm,the yield of fine powder(<150μm)soared from 54.7%to 94.2%.The surface quality of powders has also been improved when using a smaller inner-diameter MDN.

文摘In the paper, the gas-liquid two-phase flow performance and desulfurisation performance of the gas-liquid screen scrubber were experimentally studied when limestone was used as absorbent. Experiments were carried out at varying the flue gas velocity and slurry flux in concurrent and countercurrent tower respectively. The experimental results showed that the flow resistance of absorber increased rapidly with an increase of the flue gas velocity whether in concurrent or in countereurrent tower, and the up trend of the flow resistance in the cotmtercurrent tower was higher than those in the concurrent one. The influence of the flue gas velocity on the flow resistance of absorber was more than those of the slurry flux density. Whether in the concurrent tower or in the cotmtercurrent one, increasing the flue gas velocity or the slurry flux density would enhance the desulphurization efficiency. The influence of the slurry flux density on the desulfurisation efficiency was greater than those of the flue gas velocity.
