Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide (TGO) appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.展开更多

In addition, when the seabed interface is irregular, traditional finite-difference schemes cannot simulate the seismic wave propagation across the irregular seabed interface. Therefore, an acoustic–elastic forward modeling and vector-based P-and S-wave separation method is proposed. In this method, we divide the fluid–solid elastic media with irregular interface into orthogonal grids and map the irregular interface in the Cartesian coordinates system into a horizontal interface in the curvilinear coordinates system of the computational domain using coordinates transformation. The acoustic and elastic wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates system are applied to the fluid and solid medium, respectively. At the irregular interface, the two equations are combined into an acoustic–elastic equation in the curvilinear coordinates system. We next introduce a full staggered-grid scheme to improve the stability of the numerical simulation. Thus, separate P-and S-wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates system are derived to realize the P-and S-wave separation method.展开更多

Due to the large instantaneous flow rate of servo valve working under specific operating conditions, the temperature of servo valve would reach 120℃ and the valve core and valve sleeve deform in a short amount of time. So the control precision of servo valve significantly decreases and the clamping stagnation phenomenon of valve core appears. In order to solve the problem of degraded control accuracy and clamping stagnation of servo valve under large temperature difference circumstance, the numerical simulation of heat-fluid-solid coupling by using finite element method is done. The simulation result shows that zero position leakage of servo valve is basically impacted by oil temperature and change of fit clearance. The clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of the valve core and valve sleeve. The distribution roles of the temperature and thermal-deformation of shell, valve core and valve sleeve and the pressure, velocity and temperature field of flow channel are also analyzed. Zero position leakage and electromagnet's current when valve core moves in full-stroke are tested using Electro-hydraulic Servo-valve Characteristic Test-bed of an aerospace sciences and technology corporation. The experimental results show that the change law of experimental current at different oil temperatures is roughly identical to simulation current. The current curve of the electromagnet is smooth when oil temperature is below 80℃, but the amplitude of current significantly increases and the hairy appears when oil temperature is above 80℃. The current becomes smooth again after the warped valve core and valve sleeve are reground. It indicates that clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of valve core and valve sleeve. This paper simulates and tests the heat-fluid-solid coupling of double flapper-nozzle servo valve, and the obtained results provide the reference value for the design of double flapper-nozzle force feedback servo valve.展开更多

Solidsfree oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion drilling fluid is one type of low-density drilling fluid suitable for depleted fractured reservoirs. In this paper, the solids-free O/W drilling fluid was developed and has been successfully used in the Bozhong 28-1 oil and gas field, by which lost circulation, a severe problem occurred previously when drilling into fractured reservoir beds, was controlled, thereby minimizing formation damage. The O/W emulsion drilling fluid was prepared by adding 20% (by volume) No. 5 mineral oil (with high flash point, as dispersed phase) into seawater (as continuous phase). Surfactant HTO-1 (as a primary emulsifier) and non-ionic surfactant HTO-2 (as a secondary emulsifier) were added into the drilling fluid system to stabilize the emulsion; and YJD polymer was also added to seawater to improve the viscosity of the continuous phase (seawater). The drilling fluid was characterized by high flash point, good thermal stability and high stability to crude oil contamination.展开更多

On...Elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of hydraulic reciprocating seals have significant effects on sealing and tribology performances of hydraulic actuators, especially in high parameter hydraulic systems. Only elastic deformations of hydraulic reciprocating seals were discussed, and hydrodynamic effects were neglected in many studies. The physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect did not be clearly presented in the existing fluid-solid interaction models for hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seals, and few of these models had been simultaneously validated through experiments. By exploring the physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, a numerical fluid-solid interaction model consisting of fluid lubrication, contact mechanics, asperity contact and elastic deformation analyses is constructed with an iterative procedure. With the SRV friction and wear tester, the experiments are performed to investigate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the O-ring seal. The regularity of the friction coefficient varying with the speed of reciprocating motion is obtained in the mixed lubrication condition. The experimental result is used to validate the fluid-solid interaction model. Based on the model, The elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal are presented respectively in the dry friction, mixed lubrication and full film lubrication conditions, including of the contact pressure, film thickness, friction coefficient, liquid film pressure and viscous shear stress in the sealing zone. The proposed numerical fluid-solid interaction model can be effectively used to analyze the operation characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, and can also be widely used to study other hydraulic reciprocating seals.展开更多

文摘To study the temperature distribution and thermal-stress field in different service stages, a two-dimensional model of a turbine blade with thermal barrier coatings is developed, in which the conjugate heat transfer analysis and the decoupled thermal-stress calculation method are adopted. Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide (TGO) appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.

In addition, when the seabed interface is irregular, traditional finite-difference schemes cannot simulate the seismic wave propagation across the irregular seabed interface. Therefore, an acoustic–elastic forward modeling and vector-based P-and S-wave separation method is proposed. In this method, we divide the fluid–solid elastic media with irregular interface into orthogonal grids and map the irregular interface in the Cartesian coordinates system into a horizontal interface in the curvilinear coordinates system of the computational domain using coordinates transformation. The acoustic and elastic wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates system are applied to the fluid and solid medium, respectively. At the irregular interface, the two equations are combined into an acoustic–elastic equation in the curvilinear coordinates system. We next introduce a full staggered-grid scheme to improve the stability of the numerical simulation. Thus, separate P-and S-wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates system are derived to realize the P-and S-wave separation method.
文摘Characterization and optimization of physical and chemical properties of drilling fluids are critical for the efficiency and success of drilling operations.In particular,maintaining the optimal levels of solids content is essential for achieving the most effective fluid performance.Proper management of solids content also reduces the risk of tool failures.Traditional solids content analysis methods,such as retort analysis,require substantial human intervention and time,which can lead to inaccuracies,time-management issues,and increased operational risks.In contrast to human-intensive methods,machine learning may offer a viable alternative for solids content estimation due to its pattern-recognition capability.In this study,a large set of laboratory reports of drilling-fluid analyses from 130 oil wells around the world were compiled to construct a comprehensive data set.The relationships among various rheological parameters were analyzed using statistical methods and machine learning algorithms.Several machine learning algorithms of diverse classes,namely linear(linear regression,ridge regression,and ElasticNet regression),kernel-based(support vector machine)and ensemble tree-based(gradient boosting,XGBoost,and random forests)algorithms,were trained and tuned to estimate solids content from other readily available drilling fluid properties.Input variables were kept consistent across all models for interpretation and comparison purposes.In the final stage,different evaluation metrics were employed to evaluate and compare the performance of different classes of machine learning models.Among all algorithms tested,random forests algorithm was found to be the best predictive model resulting in consistently high accuracy.Further optimization of the random forests model resulted in a mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of 3.9%and 9.6%and R^(2) of 0.99 and 0.93 for the training and testing sets,respectively.Analysis of residuals,their histograms and Q-Q normality plots showed Gaussian distributions with residuals that are scattered around a mean of zero within error ranges of±1%and±4%,for training and testing,respectively.The selected model was further validated by applying the rheological measurements from mud samples taken from an offshore well from the Gulf of Mexico.The model was able to estimate total solids content in those four mud samples with an average absolute error of 1.08% of total solids content.The model was then used to develop a web-based graphical-user-interface(GUI)application,which can be practically used at the rig site by engineers to optimize drilling fluid programs.The proposed model can complement automation workflows that are designed to measure fundamental rheological properties in real time during drilling operations.While a standard retort test can take approximately 2 h at the rig site,such kind of real-time estimations can help the rig personnel to timely optimize drilling fluids,with a potential of saving 2920 man-hours in a given year for a single drilling rig.

文摘Coking at the fractionating tower bottom and the decant oil circulation system disrupts the heat balance,leading to unplanned shutdown and destroying the long period stable operation of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit(FCCU).The FCCU operates through interconnected subsystems,generating high-dimensional,nonlinear,and non-stationary data characterized by spatiotemporally correlated.The decant oil solid content is the crucial indicator for monitoring catalyst loss from the reactor-regenerator system and coking risk tendency at the fractionating tower bottom that relies on sampling and laboratory testing,which is lagging responsiveness and labor-intensive.Developing the online decant oil solid content soft sensor using industrial data to support operators in conducting predictive maintenance is essential.Therefore,this paper proposes a hybrid deep learning framework for soft sensor development that combines spatiotemporal pattern extraction with interpretability,enabling accurate risk identification in dynamic operational conditions.This framework employs a Filter-Wrapper method for dimensionality reduction,followed by a 2D Convolutional Neural Network(2DCNN)for extracting spatial patterns,and a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)for capturing long-term temporal dependencies,with an Attention Mechanism(AM)to highlight critical features adaptively.The integration of SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP),Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise(CEEMDAN),2DCNN,and expert knowledge precisely quantifies feature contributions and decomposes signals,significantly enhancing the practicality of risk identification.Applied to a China refinery with processing capacity of 2.80×10^(6) t/a,the soft sensor achieved the R^(2) value of 0.93 and five-level risk identification accuracy of 96.42%.These results demonstrate the framework's accuracy,robustness,and suitability for complex industrial scenarios,advancing risk visualization and management.

文摘Smart low-solid drilling fluids(SLSDFs)with thermo-controllable rheological properties and attractive thickening characteristics have recently captivated profound attention due to their low formation damage and enhanced cuttings lifting capacity.However,their applications to deep hole drilling at high temperatures have remained limited because of the thermal instability and environmental constraints of the thermo-associating polymers as additives.This work explored the synergistic benefits of thermo-associating polymer and biogenic nano-silica(B-SiNP)extracted from rice husk to improve the thermo-stability of SLSDF.This study shows that the nano-hybrid,TAP-S based on vinyl-terminated B-SiNP could potentially mitigate the limiting performance of conventional LSDF(F-2)caused by the failure of thermo-associating copolymers under elevated temperatures.TAP-S bearing drilling fluid(F-3)could preserve more than 5.6-fold of its initial properties(ca.apparent viscosity,plastic viscosity,yield point,and gel strength)with a nearly flat-gel profile in the temperature range of 25-230℃,which was higher than those of the counterpart F-2 and base fluid according to the results of rheological tests analysis.In addition,TAP-S exhibited an abrupt thermo-thickening characteristic with a magnitude declining by only 1.05-fold and the activation Gibbs free energy of 1339 kJ/mol above the plateau(ca.130℃),reflecting its less sensitivity compared to F-2 under a continuous heating process.As a result,a lower temperature was required to drive the dehydration of the residual fraction of lower critical solution temperature(LCST)in nano-hybrid structures than TAP according to the results of DSC analysis.Thus,lower energy was expected to disintegrate the residual hydrogen bonds formed between the LCST chains and surrounding water molecules at elevated temperatures.Moreover,TAP-S formed a solid-micro-crosslinking structure network which exhibited a more stable hydrodynamic diameter as revealed by DLS analysis.Compared with TAP,TAP-S consisted of a larger composite B-SiNP-TAP integrated spatial network structure based on the results of environmental scanning electron microscope,which conferred a degree of thermal conductivity characteristic for improved temperature resistance.This contributed to the effective binding onto bentonite particles for protection and maintained a relatively stable bentonite particle dispersion according to the results of EPM and particle size distribution analyses.Consequently,TAP-S fortified drilling fluid demonstrates improved rheological and filtration performance under severe downhole conditions.Therefore,TAP-S,the thermo-associating copolymer integrated with B-SiNP could find potential application as an eco-friendly viscosifier in LSDFs for deep-well drilling operations.

文摘In this study,a straightforward one-step hydrothermal method was successfully utilized to synthesize the solid solution Na_(0.9)Mg_(0.45)Ti_(3.55)O_(8)-Na_(2)Ni_(2)Ti_(6)O_(16)(NNMTO-x),where x denotes the molar percentage of Na_(2)Ni_(2)Ti_(6)O_(16)(NNTO)within Na_(0.9)Mg_(0.45)Ti_(3.55)O_(8)(NMTO),with x values of 10,20,30,40,and 50.Both XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)and EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy)analyses unequivocally validated the formation of the NNMTO-x solid solutions.It was observed that when x is below 40,the NNMTO-x solid solution retains the structural characteristics of the original NMTO.However,beyond this threshold,significant alterations in crystal morphology were noted,accompanied by a noticeable decline in photocatalytic activity.Notably,the absorption edge of NNMTO-x(x<40)exhibited a shift towards the visible-light spectrum,thereby substantially broadening the absorption range.The findings highlight that NNMTO-30 possesses the most pronounced photocatalytic activity for the reduction of CO_(2).Specifically,after a 6 h irradiation period,the production rates of CO and CH_(4)were recorded at 42.38 and 1.47μmol/g,respectively.This investigation provides pivotal insights that are instrumental in the advancement of highly efficient and stable photocatalysts tailored for CO_(2)reduction processes.

文摘This letter addresses challenges in the clinical translation of BIBR1532,a promising telomerase inhibitor,for the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).BIBR1532 exerts its anti-cancer effect by activating DNA damage response(ATR/CHK1 and ATM/CHK2)pathways and downregulating telomere-binding proteins.Although its therapeutic potential is limited by poor aqueous solubility,solid dispersion(SD)technology may overcome this obstacle.Systematic analysis using PubChem-derived simplified molecular input line entry system identifiers and artificial intelligence-driven FormulationDT platform evaluation(oral formulation feasibility index:0.38)revealed that the SD technology,with superior scalability(32 approved products by 2021)and lower production risks,outperforms lipid-based formulations as an optimal dissolution strategy.Material analysis revealed hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC)as the optimal carrier with lower hygroscopicity,higher temperature and no intestinal targeting,thus enabling ESCC therapy.HPMC-based SD enhances BIBR1532 solubility and bioavailability for effective ESCC treatment.Future studies should focus on pilot tests for SD fabrication.
文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)is increasingly recognized as a transformative force in the field of solid organ transplantation.From enhancing donor-recipient matching to predicting clinical risks and tailoring immunosuppressive therapy,AI has the potential to improve both operational efficiency and patient outcomes.Despite these advancements,the perspectives of transplant professionals-those at the forefront of critical decision-making-remain insufficiently explored.To address this gap,this study utilizes a multi-round electronic Delphi approach to gather and analyses insights from global experts involved in organ transplantation.Participants are invited to complete structured surveys capturing demographic data,professional roles,institutional practices,and prior exposure to AI technologies.The survey also explores perceptions of AI’s potential benefits.Quantitative responses are analyzed using descriptive statistics,while open-ended qualitative responses undergo thematic analysis.Preliminary findings indicate a generally positive outlook on AI’s role in enhancing transplantation processes,particularly in areas such as donor matching and post-operative care.These mixed views reflect both optimism and caution among professionals tasked with integrating new technologies into high-stakes clinical workflows.By capturing a wide range of expert opinions,the findings will inform future policy development,regulatory considerations,and institutional readiness frameworks for the integration of AI into organ transplantation.

文摘This study focused on improving the cathode performance of Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCN)-based perovskite materials through molybdenum(Mo)doping.Pure BSCN and Mo-modified-BSCN—Ea_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.1)Mo_(0.05)O_(3-δ)(B S CNM_(0.05)),Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.05)Mo_(0.1)O_(3-δ)(BSCNM_(0.1)),and Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Mo_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCM)—with Mo doping contents of 5mol%,10mol%,and15mol%,respectively,were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method.The effects of Mo doping on the crystal structure,conductivity,thermal expansion coefficient,oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity,and electrochemical performance were systematically evaluated using X-ray diffraction analysis,thermally induced characterization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and single-cell performance tests.The results revealed that Mo doping could improve the conductivity of the materials,suppress their thermal expansion effects,and significantly improve the electrochemical performance.Surface chemical state analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that 5mol%Mo doping could facilitate a high adsorbed oxygen concentration leading to enhanced ORR activity in the materials.Density functional theory calculations confirmed that Mo doping promoted the ORR activity in the materials.At an operating temperature of 600℃,the BSCNM_(0.05)cathode material exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical impedance characteristics,with a reduced area specific resistance of 0.048Ω·cm~2,which was lower than that of the undoped BSCN matrix material by 32.39%.At the same operating temperature,an anode-supported single cell using a BSCNM_(0.05)cathode achieved a peak power density of 1477 mW·cm^(-2),which was 30.71%,56.30%,and 171.50%higher than those of BSCN,BSCNM_(0.1),and B SCM,respectively.The improved ORR activity and electrochemical performance of BSCNM_(0.05)indicate that it can be used as a cathode material in low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

文摘High-nickel cathode,LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O_(2)(NCM811),and sulfide-solid electrolyte are a promising combination for all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs).However,this combination faces the issue of interfacial instability between the cathode and electrolyte.Given the surface alkalinity of NCM811,we propose a strategy to construct a solid-polymer-electrolyte(SPE)interphase on NCM811 surface by leveraging the surface alkaline residues to nucleophilically initiate the in-situ ring-opening polymerization of cyclic organic molecules.As a proof-of-concept,this study demonstrates that the ring-opening copolymerization of 1,3-dioxolane and maleic anhydride produces a homogeneous,compact,and conformal SPE layer on NCM811 surface to prevent the cathode from contact and reaction with Li6PS5Cl solid-state electrolyte.Consequently,the SPE-modified-NCM811 in ASSLBs exhibits high capacities of 193.5 mA h g^(-1) at 0.2 C,160.9 mA h g^(-1) at 2.0 C and 112.3 mA h g^(-1) at 10 C,and particularly,excellent long-term cycling stabilities over 11000 cycles with a 71.95%capacity retention at 10 C at 25℃,as well as a remained capacity of 117.9 mA h g^(-1) after 8000 cycles at 30 C at 60℃,showing a great application prospect.This study provides a new route for creating electrochemically and structurally stable solid-solid interfaces for ASSLBs.

文摘Composite solid-state electrolytes(CSEs)have garnered significant attention for nextgeneration energy storage owing to their inherent safety features compared with those of their liquid counterparts.However,their practical deployment remains hindered by sluggish lithium-ion transport kinetics and interfacial instability.Herein,we introduced a bimetal oxide enhanced strategy for oxygen-vacancy-engineered double perovskite nanofillers(PrBaCoFeO_(5+δ)(PBCF))to address these challenges in polyethylene oxide(PEO)-based CSEs.The strong Lewis acid-base coordination between Co^(3+)/Fe^(3+)sites on PBCF and ether oxygen groups in PEO effectively suppresses the polymer-chain crystallization while creating continuous Li^(+)conduction pathways.Importantly,the abundant oxygen vacancies serve as catalytic centers to decompose lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide(LiTFSI),thereby forming a robust organic-inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase(SEI).Consequently,the prepared PEO-LiTFSI-PBCF CSE achieves an improved Li^(+)ionic conductivity of 2.76×10^(-4) S·cm^(-1)(30℃)and an elevated Li^(+)transference number(0.54).The Li||Li symmetric cell exhibits impressive lithium plating/stripping ability(>6000 h at 0.1 mA·cm^(-2))and practical viability in Li||LiFePO_(4)full cells with 90.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 30℃(0.3 C).This defect engineering strategy provides new insights into the construction of fast and stable Li^(+)transport channels in polymer solid-state electrolytes,paving the way for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium metal batteries.

文摘Composite polymer electrolytes(CPEs)offer a promising solution for all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries(ASSLMBs).However,conventional nanofillers with Lewis-acid-base surfaces make limited contribution to improving the overall performance of CPEs due to their difficulty in achieving robust electrochemical and mechanical interfaces simultaneously.Here,by regulating the surface charge characteristics of halloysite nanotube(HNT),we propose a concept of lithium-ion dynamic interface(Li^(+)-DI)engineering in nano-charged CPE(NCCPE).Results show that the surface charge characteristics of HNTs fundamentally change the Li^(+)-DI,and thereof the mechanical and ion-conduction behaviors of the NCCPEs.Particularly,the HNTs with positively charged surface(HNTs+)lead to a higher Li^(+)transference number(0.86)than that of HNTs-(0.73),but a lower toughness(102.13 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs+and 159.69 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs-).Meanwhile,a strong interface compatibilization effect by Li^(+)is observed for especially the HNTs+-involved Li^(+)-DI,which improves the toughness by 2000%compared with the control.Moreover,HNTs+are more effective to weaken the Li^(+)-solvation strength and facilitate the formation of Li F-rich solid-electrolyte interphase of Li metal compared to HNTs-.The resultant Li|NCCPE|LiFePO4cell delivers a capacity of 144.9 m Ah g^(-1)after 400 cycles at 0.5 C and a capacity retention of 78.6%.This study provides deep insights into understanding the roles of surface charges of nanofillers in regulating the mechanical and electrochemical interfaces in ASSLMBs.

文摘Titanium plates with a Ti−O solid solution surface-hardened layer were cold roll-bonded with 304 stainless steel plates with high work hardening rates.The evolution and mechanisms affecting the interfacial bonding strength in titanium/stainless steel laminated composites were investigated.Results indicate that the hardened layer reduces the interfacial bonding strength from over 261 MPa to less than 204 MPa.During the cold roll-bonding process,the hardened layer fractures,leading to the formation of multi-scale cracks that are difficult for the stainless steel to fill.This not only hinders the development of an interlocking interface but also leads to the presence of numerous microcracks and hardened blocks along the nearly straight interface,consequently weakening the interfacial bonding strength.In metals with high work hardening rates,the conventional approach of enhancing interface interlocking and improving interfacial bonding strength by using a surface-hardened layer becomes less effective.

文摘Although intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs)show great potential to address energy conversion challenges,the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)kinetics of cathode materials has severely hindered extended applications.Herein,we have demonstrated that Bi^(3+)doping on the A-site synergistically regulates the phase transition and electron spin state in La_(0.3)Bi_(0.3)Ca_(0.4)FeO_(3-δ)(LBCF3)for improved performance.An orthorhombic to cubic phase transition occurred with Bi^(3+)doping increases oxygen vacancy concentration and thus increases oxygen ion migration capacity.Simultaneously,the change of Fe from low to medium electron spin state strengths O_(2)adsorption and improves catalytic performances.Consequently,a peak power density improvement up to 48%(from 1.21 to 1.79 W·cm^(-2))at 800℃ is realized in the anodesupported single cell using LBCF3 as cathode,which remains stable for over 270 h at 750℃.

文摘Hydrostatic mechanical face seals for reactor coolant pumps are very important for the safety and reliability of pressurized-water reactor power plants.More accurate models on the operating mechanism of the seals are needed to help improve their performance.The thermal fluid–solid interaction(TFSI)mechanism of the hydrostatic seal is investigated in this study.Numerical models of the flow field and seal assembly are developed.Based on the mechanism for the continuity condition of the physical quantities at the fluid–solid interface,an on-line numerical TFSI model for the hydrostatic mechanical seal is proposed using an iterative coupling method.Dynamic mesh technology is adopted to adapt to the changing boundary shape.Experiments were performed on a test rig using a full-size test seal to obtain the leakage rate as a function of the differential pressure.The effectiveness and accuracy of the TFSI model were verified by comparing the simulation results and experimental data.Using the TFSI model,the behavior of the seal is presented,including mechanical and thermal deformation,and the temperature field.The influences of the rotating speed and differential pressure of the sealing device on the temperature field,which occur widely in the actual use of the seal,are studied.This research proposes an on-line and assembly-based TFSI model for hydrostatic mechanical face seals,and the model is validated by full-sized experiments.

文摘The double flapper-nozzle servo valve is widely used to launch and guide the equipment. Due to the large instantaneous flow rate of servo valve working under specific operating conditions, the temperature of servo valve would reach 120℃ and the valve core and valve sleeve deform in a short amount of time. So the control precision of servo valve significantly decreases and the clamping stagnation phenomenon of valve core appears. In order to solve the problem of degraded control accuracy and clamping stagnation of servo valve under large temperature difference circumstance, the numerical simulation of heat-fluid-solid coupling by using finite element method is done. The simulation result shows that zero position leakage of servo valve is basically impacted by oil temperature and change of fit clearance. The clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of the valve core and valve sleeve. The distribution roles of the temperature and thermal-deformation of shell, valve core and valve sleeve and the pressure, velocity and temperature field of flow channel are also analyzed. Zero position leakage and electromagnet's current when valve core moves in full-stroke are tested using Electro-hydraulic Servo-valve Characteristic Test-bed of an aerospace sciences and technology corporation. The experimental results show that the change law of experimental current at different oil temperatures is roughly identical to simulation current. The current curve of the electromagnet is smooth when oil temperature is below 80℃, but the amplitude of current significantly increases and the hairy appears when oil temperature is above 80℃. The current becomes smooth again after the warped valve core and valve sleeve are reground. It indicates that clamping stagnation is caused by warpage-deformation and fit clearance reduction of valve core and valve sleeve. This paper simulates and tests the heat-fluid-solid coupling of double flapper-nozzle servo valve, and the obtained results provide the reference value for the design of double flapper-nozzle force feedback servo valve.
文摘The increasing application of near balanced drilling technology to low-pressure and depleted fractured reservoirs requires the use of low-density drilling fluids to avoid formation damage. Solidsfree oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion drilling fluid is one type of low-density drilling fluid suitable for depleted fractured reservoirs. In this paper, the solids-free O/W drilling fluid was developed and has been successfully used in the Bozhong 28-1 oil and gas field, by which lost circulation, a severe problem occurred previously when drilling into fractured reservoir beds, was controlled, thereby minimizing formation damage. The O/W emulsion drilling fluid was prepared by adding 20% (by volume) No. 5 mineral oil (with high flash point, as dispersed phase) into seawater (as continuous phase). Surfactant HTO-1 (as a primary emulsifier) and non-ionic surfactant HTO-2 (as a secondary emulsifier) were added into the drilling fluid system to stabilize the emulsion; and YJD polymer was also added to seawater to improve the viscosity of the continuous phase (seawater). The drilling fluid was characterized by high flash point, good thermal stability and high stability to crude oil contamination.

文摘Elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of hydraulic reciprocating seals have significant effects on sealing and tribology performances of hydraulic actuators, especially in high parameter hydraulic systems. Only elastic deformations of hydraulic reciprocating seals were discussed, and hydrodynamic effects were neglected in many studies. The physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect did not be clearly presented in the existing fluid-solid interaction models for hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seals, and few of these models had been simultaneously validated through experiments. By exploring the physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, a numerical fluid-solid interaction model consisting of fluid lubrication, contact mechanics, asperity contact and elastic deformation analyses is constructed with an iterative procedure. With the SRV friction and wear tester, the experiments are performed to investigate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the O-ring seal. The regularity of the friction coefficient varying with the speed of reciprocating motion is obtained in the mixed lubrication condition. The experimental result is used to validate the fluid-solid interaction model. Based on the model, The elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal are presented respectively in the dry friction, mixed lubrication and full film lubrication conditions, including of the contact pressure, film thickness, friction coefficient, liquid film pressure and viscous shear stress in the sealing zone. The proposed numerical fluid-solid interaction model can be effectively used to analyze the operation characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, and can also be widely used to study other hydraulic reciprocating seals.
