In the present work, steady-state and dynamic distillation models are established based on a classic method and a cascade distillation system with 5 towers is introduced to test the models. The theoretical expressions of separation factor αH/Dfor protium/deuterium and separation factor α^(16)O/^(18) O.for oxygen-16/oxygen-18 were derived,with the existence of deuterium and oxygen-18, respectively. The results of the steady-state simulation by the classical method proposed in the present work agreed well with the results of the lumping method. The dynamic process could be divided into 5 stages. Impressively, a peak value of product withdraw was observed before the final steady state, which was resulted from the change of ^(16)O/^(18) O separation factor and isotope distribution. An interesting low concentration zone in the towers of T2–T5 existed at the beginning of the dynamic process and it required industrial evidence.展开更多

In order to study the flow structures in this operation, the volume of fluid (VOF) model and the standard k-ε model to simulate the evolution of gas-liquid flow in BCRs under the start-up state are combined. For both the symmetry and asymmetry flow, the layout of the gas-inlets, the gas-in velocity, the liquid viscosity and the aspect ratio of the BCR all have effects on the liquid velocity distribution. The simulation results could provide some information for the design and scale-up of the BCRs.展开更多

In particular, velocity overshoot and electron transit times are examined. For all materials, we find that electron velocity overshoot only occurs when the electric field is increased to a value above a certain critical field, unique to each material. This critical field is strongly dependent on the material, about 3 kV/cm for InAs, 10 kV/cm for InP and 5 kV/cm for the case of GaAs, We find that InAs exhibits the highest peak overshoot velocity and that this velocity overshoot lasts over the longest distances when compared with GaAs and InP. Finally, we estimate the minimum transit time across a 1 μm InAs sample to be about 2 ps. Similar calculations for InP and GaAs yield 6.6 and 5.4 ps, respectively. We find that the optimal cutoff frequency for an ideal InAs based device ranges from around 79 GHz when the device thickness is set to 1 μm. We thus suggest that indium arsenide offers great promise for future high-speed device applications. The steady-state and transient velocity overshoot characteristics are in fair agreement with other recent calculations.展开更多

A CFD （computational fluid dynamics） program FLUENT has been used to predict the temperature distribution in steady-state conditions in plate heat exchanger as well as fluid temperatures at exit of flow channels in transient condition. The results are presented for the heat exchanger, which is simulated according to the configuration of the plate heat exchanger used in the experiment. The simulated results obtained by the CFD model have been compared with the experimental data from the literature, which shows that the CFD model developed in this study is capable of predicting the steady-state and transient performance of the plate heat exchangers satisfactorily.展开更多

文摘Power system simulations that extend over a time period of minutes,hours,or even longer are called extendedterm simulations.As power systems evolve into complex systems with increasing interdependencies and richer dynamic behaviors across a wide range of timescales,extendedterm simulation is needed for many power system analysis tasks(e.g.,resilience analysis,renewable energy integration,cascading failures),and there is an urgent need for efficient and robust extendedterm simulation approaches.The conventional approaches are insufficient for dealing with the extendedterm simulation of multitimescale processes.This paper proposes an extendedterm simulation approach based on the semianalytical simulation(SAS)methodology.Its accuracy and computational efficiency are backed by SAS's high accuracy in eventdriven simulation,larger and adaptive time steps,and flexible switching between fulldynamic and quasisteadystate(QSS)models.We used this proposed extendedterm simulation approach to evaluate bulk power system restoration plans,and it demonstrates satisfactory accuracy and efficiency in this complex simulation task.
文摘An ensemble Monte Carlosimulation is used to compare high field electron transport in bulk InAs, InP and GaAs. In particular, velocity overshoot and electron transit times are examined. For all materials, we find that electron velocity overshoot only occurs when the electric field is increased to a value above a certain critical field, unique to each material. This critical field is strongly dependent on the material, about 3 kV/cm for InAs, 10 kV/cm for InP and 5 kV/cm for the case of GaAs, We find that InAs exhibits the highest peak overshoot velocity and that this velocity overshoot lasts over the longest distances when compared with GaAs and InP. Finally, we estimate the minimum transit time across a 1 μm InAs sample to be about 2 ps. Similar calculations for InP and GaAs yield 6.6 and 5.4 ps, respectively. We find that the optimal cutoff frequency for an ideal InAs based device ranges from around 79 GHz when the device thickness is set to 1 μm. We thus suggest that indium arsenide offers great promise for future high-speed device applications. The steady-state and transient velocity overshoot characteristics are in fair agreement with other recent calculations.

文摘The parameter dependence of transition between electrostatic instabilities is studied using gyrokinetic simulation based on a real discharge of steady-state scenario in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak.The scan of radial locations shows that trapped electron mode(TEM)dominates around the core while the ion temperature gradient mode(ITG)simultaneously dominates outside.The maximum growth rate of TEM appears aroundρ=0.24,where the maximum electron temperature gradient R/LTelocates,ρis the normalized poloidal flux.Effects of the parameters on the transition between TEM and ITG instability are studied atρ=0.24.It is found that TEM dominates in the scanning with individually changing R/LTe from 2.50 to 25.02 or the density gradient R/L_(n)from 1.38 to 13.76.Meanwhile,the electron-ion temperature ratio T_(e)/T_(i)is found to destabilize TEM,the effect of Teis more sensitive than that of T_(i).The dominant instability diagrams in the(R/L_(Te),R/L_(Ti))plane at different T_(e)/T_(i)and R/Lnare numerically obtained,which clearly show the parameter range of the dominant TEM or dominant ITG instability region.It is found that the dominant TEM region becomes narrower in the plane by decreasing R/L_(n)when T_(e)/T_(i)>0.5.
文摘The present paper deals with both the steady-state and dynamic simulation of a plate heat exchanger, in counter-flow arrangement. A CFD （computational fluid dynamics） program FLUENT has been used to predict the temperature distribution in steady-state conditions in plate heat exchanger as well as fluid temperatures at exit of flow channels in transient condition. The results are presented for the heat exchanger, which is simulated according to the configuration of the plate heat exchanger used in the experiment. The simulated results obtained by the CFD model have been compared with the experimental data from the literature, which shows that the CFD model developed in this study is capable of predicting the steady-state and transient performance of the plate heat exchangers satisfactorily.

文摘The steady-state and transient electron transport properties ofβ-(Al_(x)Ga_(1-x))_(2)O_(3)/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterostructures were investigated by Monte Carlo simulation with the classic three-valley model.In particular,the electronic band structures were acquired by first-principles calculations,which could provide precise parameters for calculating the transport properties of the two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG),and the quantization effect was considered in theΓvalley with the five lowest subbands.Wave functions and energy eigenvalues were obtained by iteration of the Schrödinger–Poisson equations to calculate the 2DEG scattering rates with five main scattering mechanisms considered.The simulated low-field electron mobilities agree well with the experimental results,thus confirming the effectiveness of our models.The results show that the room temperature electron mobility of theβ-(Al_(0.188)Ga_(0.812))_(2)O_(3)/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterostructure at 10 k V·cm^(-1)is approximately153.669 cm^(2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1),and polar optical phonon scattering would have a significant impact on the mobility properties at this time.The region of negative differential mobility,overshoot of the transient electron velocity and negative diffusion coefficients are also observed when the electric field increases to the corresponding threshold value or even exceeds it.This work offers significant parameters for theβ-(Al_(x)Ga_(1-x))_(2)O_(3)/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterostructure that may benefit the design of high-performanceβ-(Al_(x)Ga_(1-x))_(2)O_(3)/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterostructure-based devices.
