This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.展开更多

文摘Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection(PCI)in the blast furnace,and it can reduce CO_(2)emissions.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation,and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated.The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m^(3)/h,the CO_(2)emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t,which represents a16.6%reduction,and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1%to 63.7%.The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen,which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway.Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere,which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace.The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection.The increase in the oxygen content by 3%while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2%and 43 K,respectively.The mole fraction of CO and H_(2) production increased by 0.04 and 0.02,respectively.Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.

文摘In this study,a new linear friction welding(LFW)process,embedded LFW process,was put forward,which was mainly applied to combination manufacturing of long or overlong loadcarrying titanium alloy structural components in aircraft.The interfacial plastic flow behavior and bonding mechanism of this process were investigated by a developed coupling EulerianLagrangian numerical model using software ABAQUS and a novel thermo-physical simulation method with designed embedded hot compression specimen.In addition,the formation mechanism and control method of welding defects caused by uneven plastic flow were discussed.The results reveal that the plastic flow along oscillating direction of this process is even and sufficient.In the direction perpendicular to oscillation,thermo-plastic metals mainly flow downward along welding interface under coupling of shear stress and interfacial pressure,resulting in the interfacial plastic zone shown as an inverted“V”shape.The upward plastic flow in this direction is relatively weak,and only a small amount of flash is extruded from top of joint.Moreover,the wedge block and welding components at top of joint are always in un-steady friction stage,leading to nonuniform temperature field distribution and un-welded defects.According to the results of numerical simulation,high oscillating frequency combined with low pressure and small amplitude is considered as appropriate parameter selection scheme to improve the upward interfacial plastic flow at top of joint and suppress the un-welded defects.The results of thermo-physical simulation illustrate that continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)induces the bonding of interface,accompanying by intense dislocation movement and creation of many low-angle grain boundaries.In the interfacial bonding area,grain orientation is random with relatively low texture density(5.0 mud)owing to CDRX.

文摘The nozzle is a critical component responsible for generating most of the net thrust in a scramjet engine.The quality of its design directly affects the performance of the entire propulsion system.However,most turbulence models struggle to make accurate predictions for subsonic and supersonic flows in nozzles.In this study,we explored a novel model,the algebraic stress model k-kL-ARSM+J,to enhance the accuracy of turbulence numerical simulations.This new model was used to conduct numerical simulations of the design and off-design performance of a 3D supersonic asymmetric truncated nozzle designed in our laboratory,with the aim of providing a realistic pattern of changes.The research indicates that,compared to linear eddy viscosity turbulence models such as k-kL and shear stress transport(SST),the k-kL-ARSM+J algebraic stress model shows better accuracy in predicting the performance of supersonic nozzles.Its predictions were identical to the experimental values,enabling precise calculations of the nozzle.The performance trends of the nozzle are as follows:as the inlet Mach number increases,both thrust and pitching moment increase,but the rate of increase slows down.Lift peaks near the design Mach number and then rapidly decreases.With increasing inlet pressure,the nozzle thrust,lift,and pitching moment all show linear growth.As the flight altitude rises,the internal flow field within the nozzle remains relatively consistent due to the same supersonic nozzle inlet flow conditions.However,external to the nozzle,the change in external flow pressure results in the nozzle exit transitioning from over-expanded to under-expanded,leading to a shear layer behind the nozzle that initially converges towards the nozzle center and then diverges.

文摘The local time-stepping(LTS)algorithm is an adaptive method that adjusts the time step by selecting suitable intervals for different regions based on the spatial scale of each cell and water depth and flow velocity between cells.The method can be optimized by calculating the maximum power of two of the global time step increments in the domain,allowing the optimal time step to be approached throughout the grid.To verify the acceleration and accuracy of LTS in storm surge simulations,we developed a model to simulate astronomical storm surges along the southern coast of China.This model employs the shallow water equations as governing equations,numerical discretization using the finite volume method,and fluxes calculated by the Roe solver.By comparing the simulation results of the traditional global time-stepping algorithm with those of the LTS algorithm,we find that the latter fit the measured data better.Taking the calculation results of Typhoon Sally in 1996 as an example,we show that compared with the traditional global time-stepping algorithm,the LTS algorithm reduces computation time by 2.05 h and increases computation efficiency by 2.64 times while maintaining good accuracy.

文摘As the integration of electronic components in high-performance servers increases,heat generation significantly impacts performance and raises failure rates.Therefore,heat dissipation has become a critical concern in electronic circuit design.This study uses numerical simulations to investigate the heat dissipation characteristics of electronic components in air-cooled servers.By adjusting airflow speed,heat sink configurations,and the arrangement of straight-fin heat sinks,we optimize heat dissipation performance and analyze the mechanisms at different airflow speeds.The results show that,at the same airflow speed,the temperature of the heat sink is lower than that of the electronic components,creating a temperature gradient that enhances heat transfer.Compared to a front-to-back arrangement of two straight-fin heat sinks,placing the heat sinks parallel to each other results in a lower maximum component temperature and better temperature uniformity.Heat sinks with fins significantly improve heat dissipation.The heat sink with semicylindrical fins on the rib surface provides the best cooling performance.Moreover,compared to natural convection,the maximum temperature of the electronic components decreases by 56.17%and 61%when the incoming flow velocity is 6 m/s with two parallel flat ribbed heat sinks and front-to-back arrangement,respectively.

文摘The turbulent characteristics of the top-blown Laval nozzle and the influence of pressure and Mach number were studied through numerical simulation.With 2.72%error between the results and the empirical formula,the results are reliable.Nozzle fluid is influenced by pipe structure,causing pressure and density to drop as speed increases.Differences in pressure and velocity between the jet and surrounding gas lead to jet velocity attenuation,flow expansion,deflection,and eddy currents.The optimal top blowing pressure is 0.6 MPa,and the center velocity and width of the jet are 345 m/s and 0.124 m,respectively,at 20De(De is the nozzle exit diameter).It achieves a maximum jet velocity of 456 m/s.The optimal nozzle Mach number is 1.75,with a maximum jet velocity of 451 m/s.At 20D_(e),the jet center velocity is 338 m/s,with a width of 0.12 m.

文摘Natural gas hydrate widely exists in the South China Sea as clean energy.A three-phase transition layer widely exists in low permeability Class I hydrates in the Shenhu offshore area.Therefore,taking into account the low-permeability characteristics with an average permeability of 5.5 mD and moderate heterogeneity,a 3-D geological model of heterogeneous Class I hydrate reservoirs with three-phase transition layers is established by Kriging interpolation and stochastic modeling method,and a numerical simulation model is used to describe the depressurization production performance of the reservoir.With the development of depressurization,a specific range of complete decomposition zones appear both in the hydrate and transition layers.The entire decomposition zone of the whole reservoir tends to outward and upward diffusion.There is apparent methane escape in the three-phase transition layer.Due to the improvement of local permeability caused by the phase transition of hydrate dissociation,some methane accumulation occurs at the bottom of the hydrate layer,forming a local methane enrichment zone.The methane migration trends in reservoirs are mainly characterized by movement toward production wells and hydrate layers under the influence of gravity.However,due to the permeability limitation of hydrate reservoirs,many fluids have not been effectively produced and remain in the reservoir.Therefore,to improve the effective pressure drop of the reservoir,the perforation method and pressure reduction method were optimized by analyzing the influencing factors based on the gas production rate.The comparative study demonstrates that perforating through the free gas layer combined with one-time depressurization can enhance the effective depressurization and improve production performance.The gas production rate from perforating through the free gas layer can be twice as high as that from perforating through the transition layer.This study can provide theoretical support for the utilization of marine energy.

文摘Deeply buried mountain tunnels are often exposed to the risk of rock bursts,which always cause serious damage to the supporting structures and threaten the safety of the engineers.Due to the limited data available,a suitable approach to predict the rockburst tendency at the preliminary stage becomes very important.In this study,an integrated methodology combining 3D initial stress inversion and rockburst tendency prediction was developed and subsequently applied to a case study of the Sangzhuling Tunnel on the Sichuan–Tibet Railway.The numerical modelling involved inverting the initial stress field using a multiple linear regression method.The tunnel excavation was simulated separately by FDM and DEM,based on a stress boundary condition from the inverted stress field.The comparative analysis demonstrates that the rockburst ratio calculated using DEM(76.70%)exhibits a slight increase compared to FDM(75.38%),and the rockburst location is consistent with the actual situation.This suggests that DEM is more suitable for simulating the stress redistribution during excavation in a jointed rock mass.The numerical simulation combined with the deviatoric stress approach effectively predicts rockburst tendency,meeting the engineering requirements.Despite its limitations,numerical simulation remains a reliable method for predicting rock bursts.

文摘The multi-scale modeling combined with the cohesive zone model(CZM)and the molecular dynamics(MD)method were preformed to simulate the crack propagation in NiTi shape memory alloys(SMAs).The metallographic microscope and image processing technology were employed to achieve a quantitative grain size distribution of NiTi alloys so as to provide experimental data for molecular dynamics modeling at the atomic scale.Considering the size effect of molecular dynamics model on material properties,a reasonable modeling size was provided by taking into account three characteristic dimensions from the perspective of macro,meso,and micro scales according to the Buckinghamπtheorem.Then,the corresponding MD simulation on deformation and fracture behavior was investigated to derive a parameterized traction-separation(T-S)law,and then it was embedded into cohesive elements of finite element software.Thus,the crack propagation behavior in NiTi alloys was reproduced by the finite element method(FEM).The experimental results show that the predicted initiation fracture toughness is in good agreement with experimental data.In addition,it is found that the dynamics initiation fracture toughness increases with decreasing grain size and increasing loading velocity.
文摘The M-shaped multi-row pile foundation retaining structure represents an enhanced version of conventional multi-row anti-sliding support systems.To date,the implementation of M-shaped pile configurations in foundation pit excavations has not been extensively investigated,with particularly scant research focusing on their load-bearing mechanisms and stress redistribution characteristics.Furthermore,numerical modeling methodologies for such geometrically optimized pile networks remain underdeveloped compared to practical engineering applications,creating a notable research-practice gap in geotechnical engineering.A comparative finite element analysis was systematically conducted using ABAQUS software to establish three distinct excavation support configurations:single-row cantilever retaining structures,three-row cantilever configurations,and M-shaped multi-row pile foundation systems.Subsequent numerical simulations enabled quantitative comparisons of critical performance indicators,including pile stress distribution patterns,lateral displacement profiles,and bending moment diagrams across different structural typologies.The parametric investigation revealed characteristic mechanical responses associated with each configuration,establishing corresponding mechanical principles governing the interaction between pile topology and soil-structure behavior towers.The findings of this study provide critical references for the design optimization of M-shaped multi-row pile foundation retaining systems.

文摘After a long period of water flooding development,the oilfield has entered the middle and high water cut stage.The physical properties of reservoirs are changed by water erosion,which directly impacts reservoir development.Conventional numerical reservoir simulation methodologies typically employ static assumptions for model construction,presuming invariant reservoir geological parameters throughout the development process while neglecting the reservoir’s temporal evolution characteristics.Although such simplifications reduce computational complexity,they introduce substantial descriptive inaccuracies.Therefore,this paper proposes a meshless numerical simulation method for reservoirs that considers time-varying characteristics.This method avoids the meshing in traditional numerical simulation methods.From the fluid flow perspective,the reservoir’s computational domain is discretized into a series of connection units.An influence domain with a certain radius centered on the nodes is selected,and one-dimensional connection units are established between the nodes to achieve the characterization of the flow topology structure of the reservoir.In order to reflect the dynamic evolution of the reservoir’s physical properties during the water injection development process,the time-varying characteristics are incorporated into the formula of the seepage characteristic parameters in the meshless calculation.The change relationship of the permeability under different surface fluxes is considered to update the calculated connection conductivity in real time.By combining with the seepage control equation for solution,a time-varying meshless numerical simulation method is formed.The results show that compared with the numerical simulationmethod of the connection elementmethod(CEM)that only considers static parameters,this method has higher simulation accuracy and can better simulate the real migration and distribution of oil and water in the reservoir.Thismethod improves the accuracy of reservoir numerical simulation and the development effect of oilfields,providing a scientific basis for optimizing the water injection strategy,adjusting the production plan,and extending the effective production cycle of the oilfield.

文摘As a renewable energy source,the thermal conversion of poultry manure,is a promising waste treatment solution that can generate circular economic outputs such as energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Currently,pressurized gasification of poultry manure is still a novel research field,especially when combined with a novel technological route of oxy-fuel gasification.Oxy-fuel gasification is a newly proposed and promising gasification technology for power generation that facilitates future carbon capture and storage.In this work,based on a commercially operated industrial-scale chicken manure gasification power plant in Singapore,we presented an interesting first exploration of the coupled pressurization technology for oxy-fuel gasification of poultry manure using CFD numerical simulation,analyzed the effects of pressure and oxygen enrichment concentration as well as the coupling mechanism between them,and discussed the conversion and emission of nitrogen-and sulfur-containing pollutants.The results indicate that under oxy-fuel gasification condition(Oxy-30,i.e.,30%O_(2)/70%CO_(2)),as the pressure increases from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa,the CO concentration in the syngas increases slightly,the H_(2)concentration increases to approximately 25%,and the CH4 concentration(less than 1%)decreases,resulting in an increase in the calorific value of syngas from 5.2 to 5.6 MJ·m^(-3).Compared to atmospheric pressure conditions,a relatively higher oxygen-enriched concentration interval(Oxy-40 to Oxy-50)under pressurized conditions is advantageous for autothermal gasification.Pressurization increases NO precursors production and also promotes homogeneous and heterogeneous reduction of NO,and provides favorable conditions for self-desulfurization.This work offers reference for the realization of a highly efficient and low-energy-consumption thermochemical treatment of livestock manure coupled with negative carbon emission technology.

文摘The study aimed to address the issue of elevated residual stress levels in dissimilar girth welds of cast steel joints.To achieve this,the hybrid welding technology,which yields high welding speeds while simultaneously reducing residual stresses,has been introduced.This study utilizes a numerical simulation method to investigate the temperature and residual stress field in the hybrid welding of G20Mn5 casting-Q355 low-alloy steel welded pipe.A com-parison of the findings of this study with those of other welding processes revealed the technological advantages of hybrid welding.The research outcomes show that due to geometric discontinuities and material differences,the temperature field of the joint exhibits uneven distribution characteristics,and the peak temperatures on the Q355 steel side exceeds those on the G20Mn5 steel side.An evident stress gra-dient is present in the residual stress field of the joint post-welding,with peak stress located at the weld root on the Q355 steel.Compared with arc welding,the hybrid welding leads to decreased residual stresses and deformation,with high stress outside the heat-affected zone diminishing rapidly.Furthermore,it significantly improves the welding efficiency.This study elucidates the distribution and underlying causes of thermal and residual stress fields in dissimilar girth welds.This serves as a foundation for the application of hybrid welding technology in welded cast steel joints.

文摘Smelting with oxygen bottom blowing is one of the main methods used in the frame of copper pyrometallurgy.With this approach,feed materials and oxygen-enriched air are introduced in reversed order to enhance multiphaseflow within the furnace.Understanding the flow structure and temperature distribution in this setup is crucial foroptimizing production.In this study,gas-liquid interactions,and temperature profiles under varying air-injectionconditions are examined by means of numerical simulation for a 3.2 m×20 m furnace.The results indicate that thehigh-velocity regions are essentially distributed near the lance within the reaction region and the flue gas outlet,while low-velocity regions are located close to the furnace walls on both side of the reaction region.Dead regionsappear in the sedimentation region,with gas velocities surpassing those of the molten phase.As the injection rateincreases from 0.50 to 0.80 Nm3/s,the stabilization time of the average liquid surface velocity decreases from 2.6 sto 1.9 s,exhibiting a similar trend to the gas holdup.During stabilization,the average liquid surface velocity risesfrom 0.505 to 0.702 m/s.The average turbulent kinetic energy(TKE)of the fluid in the molten bath increases from0.095 to 0.162 m^(2)/s^(2).The proportion of the area distribution with TKE greater than 0.10 m^(2)/s^(2) and the gas holdupat steady state both rise with an increase in the injection quantity.The maximum splashing height of the melt growsfrom approximately 0.756 to 1.154 m,with the affected area expanding from 14.239 to 20.498 m^(2).Under differentworking conditions with varying injection quantities,the average temperature changes in melt zone and flue gaszone of the furnace are small.The temperature in the melt and in the flue-gas zone spans the interval 1200℃–1257℃,and 1073℃–1121℃,respectively.The temperature distribution of the melt and flue gas reveals a patterncharacterized by elevated temperatures in the reaction zone,gradually transitioning to lower temperatures in thesedimentation region.

文摘To study the combustion behavior of municipal solid waste(MSW)in blast furnace,the combustion process within the raceway was simulated using computational fluid dynamics.Based on the parameters of an actual blast furnace,a three-dimensional model including coal lance,blowpipe,tuyere,and raceway was established.The model was then used to compare the combustion characteristics of pulverized coal and MSW in the raceway and to investigate the effects of blast temperature and particle size on the combustion characteristics of MSW in the raceway.The results showed that MSW combusted more rapidly,achieving a maximum temperature of 3839 K in the raceway,comparing to 2974 K during pulverized coal injection.However,the average temperature during MSW injection was 1790 K,which was 73 K lower than that of pulverized coal injection.The maximum velocity during MSW injection was 120 m/s,lower than 188 m/s obtained during pulverized coal injection.MSW could be completely burned out in the middle of the raceway,while the burnout of pulverized coal at this position was only 50%.The combustion effect of MSW makes no difference when the blast temperature increased from 1273 to 1673 K,due to its excellent combustion characteristic.When the MSW particle size was increased from 0.074 to 2 mm,the burnout was 75%,which was still higher than that of pulverized coal injection with a particle size of 0.074 mm.However,injecting larger-sized fuel might increase the risk of tuyere wear.To ensure stable furnace conditions and great combustion,a blast temperature of 1473 K and a MSW particle size of about 1 mm will be better.
