It extracts fine coal from moist raw coal by entrainment of an ascending airflow in a vibrated fluidized bed. Pilot tests showed that air classification efficiencies varied from 74.85% to 93.84% at cut-size 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0.5 mm when free moisture of coal is in the range of 1.7% to 9.5%, and ash contents of fine coal products were 2%～3% lower than those of the same size fractions in feed, and 4%～10% lower than those of feeds for most cases because of the density differences between coal and waste, which is beneficial to producing lower ash fine coal from raw coal as fuel of blast furnaces or pulverized coal firing boilers.

The dynamical behavior of the sphere is influenced by the external energy input from an electromagnetic shaker which is proportional to ε,where ε is equal to the ratio between the square of the dimensionless acceleration Γ and the square of the vibration frequency f of the container. Empirical results reveal that as the VGM transits from local-to-global convection,an increase in ε generally corresponds to an increase in the magnitudes of the rotational ω（RS） and translational v（CM） velocities of the sphere, an increase in the observed tilting angle θ（bed） of the VGM bed, and a decrease in the time t（wall） it takes the sphere to roll down the tilted VGM bed and hit the container wall. During unstable convection, an increase in ε results in a sharp decrease in the sphere＇s peak and mean ω（RS）,and a slight increase in t（wall）.For the range of ε values covered in this study, the sphere may execute persistent rotation, wobbling or jamming, depending on the vibration parameters and the resulting convective flow in the system.展开更多

There is a maximum value in the h-P experimental curve. The heat transfer coefficient increases with decreases in particle diameter in the fully fluidized region. The particle density has less effect on the heat transfer coefficients. High amplitude and low frequency, or low amplitude and high frequency are favorable to heat transfer. Exceedingly high gas velocity is unfavorable to the surface-bed heat transfer. A model based on the 'pocket' theory was proposed for predicting the surface-to-bed heat transfer coefficients in fully fluidized region. The predictions from the model were compared with observed data. The reasonable fit suggests the adequacy of the model.展开更多

The growth velocity and final stable height of the grain column inside the pipe can be controlled by varying the vibration conditions. In this paper, we discuss those experimental findings. We establish a mathematic relation between the grain column height（h） and time（t）, and by using the relation we discuss the change of the growth velocity（ dh/ dt） and acceleration（ d^2h/ dt^2） with t and h, respectively. We also analyze the mechanism of the rising motion of the grains during vibration. Furthermore, we derive a theoretical expression for describing the final stable height（h st）, which shows that the main factors influencing the height are vibration strength（Γ）, bulk density of grains,inner diameter of the pipe, and vibration frequency, and that h st increases nonlinearly in the presence of air and linearly in a vacuum environment with increasing Γ.展开更多

The setup was termed a vibrated gas-solid fluidized bed and could provide a stable fluidization state and uniform density distribution for dry coal beneficiation by the transfer of vibrational energy and the interaction between vibrations and the gas phase. Favorable segregation of the ash content of the 1-6-ram-sized lignite samples is achieved under suitable operating conditions. Higher yields of cleaning coal were acquired when the ash content was reduced. The probable error values were 0.065 and 0.055 at separating densities of 1.68 and 1.75 g/clTl3 for the 1-3- and 3-6-mm- sized lignite samples, respectively. Effective beneficiation of 1-6-ram-sized fine lignite could be achieved using the vibrated gas-solid fluidized bed, which provides an alternative technique for the separation of fine low-rank coal in arid areas.展开更多

The influences of vibration frequency （ω）, volume fraction of large spheres （XL）, sphere size ratio （r, diameter ratio of small to large spheres）, and container size （D） on the random binary packing density （p） were systematically analyzed. For any given set of conditions, there exist optimal ω and XL to realize the densest random binary packing; too large or small ω and XL is not helpful for densification. The influences of both r and D on p are monotonic; either reducing r or increasing D leads to a high value of p. With all other parameters held constant, the densest random packing occurs when XL is dominant, which is in good agreement with the Furnas relation. Moreover, the highest random binary packing density obtained in our work agrees well with corresponding numerical and analytical results in the literature.展开更多

The influence of vibration conditions such as vibration time, frequency, amplitude, vibration strength, container size, and the aspect ratio and spheric- ity of the particle on the packing density were analyzed and discussed. For each initial packing density with a certain aspect ratio, operating parameters were optimized to achieve much denser packing. The results indicate that the packing density initially increases with vibration time and then remains con- stant. The effects of vibration frequency and amplitude on the packing densification have similar trends, i.e. the packing density first increases with the vibration frequency or amplitude to a high value and then decreases; too large or small frequency or amplitude does not enhance densification. Increasing the container size can reduce container wall effects and help achieve a high packing density. Varying the particle aspect ratio and sphericity can lead to different dense random packing structures. Overall, based on results of the examined systems, the highest random packing density obtained in an infinite sized container can reach 0.73, which agrees well with corresponding numerical and analytical results in the literature.展开更多

文摘We investigate the rotational dynamics of a low-density sphere on the free surface of a vertically vibrated granular material（VGM）. The dynamical behavior of the sphere is influenced by the external energy input from an electromagnetic shaker which is proportional to ε,where ε is equal to the ratio between the square of the dimensionless acceleration Γ and the square of the vibration frequency f of the container. Empirical results reveal that as the VGM transits from local-to-global convection,an increase in ε generally corresponds to an increase in the magnitudes of the rotational ω（RS） and translational v（CM） velocities of the sphere, an increase in the observed tilting angle θ（bed） of the VGM bed, and a decrease in the time t（wall） it takes the sphere to roll down the tilted VGM bed and hit the container wall. During unstable convection, an increase in ε results in a sharp decrease in the sphere＇s peak and mean ω（RS）,and a slight increase in t（wall）.For the range of ε values covered in this study, the sphere may execute persistent rotation, wobbling or jamming, depending on the vibration parameters and the resulting convective flow in the system.

文摘Previous experimental investigations have shown that when a narrow pipe is inserted into a granular bed and is vibrated vertically but the granular bed is kept still, the grains in the bed can enter the pipe and rise against gravity along the pipe and finally stabilized at a certain height. The growth velocity and final stable height of the grain column inside the pipe can be controlled by varying the vibration conditions. In this paper, we discuss those experimental findings. We establish a mathematic relation between the grain column height（h） and time（t）, and by using the relation we discuss the change of the growth velocity（ dh/ dt） and acceleration（ d^2h/ dt^2） with t and h, respectively. We also analyze the mechanism of the rising motion of the grains during vibration.

文摘The latest generation of aero engines has set higher standards for thrust-to-weight ratio and energy conversion efficiency,making it imperative to address the challenge of efficiently and accurately machining film cooling holes.It has been demonstrated that conventional long-pulse lasers are incapable of meeting the elevated quality surface finish requirements for these holes,a consequence of the severe thermal defects.The employment of backside water-assisted laser drilling technology confers a number of distinct advantages in terms of mitigating laser thermal damage,thus representing a highly promising solution to this challenge.However,significant accumulation of bubbles and machining products during the backside water-assisted laser drilling process has been demonstrated to have a detrimental effect on laser transmission and machining stability,thereby reducing machining quality.In order to surmount these challenges,a novel method has been proposed,namely an ultrasonic shock water flow-assisted picosecond laser drilling technique.Numerical models for ultrasonic acoustic streaming and particle tracking for machining product transport have been established to investigate the mechanism.The simulation results demonstrated that the majority of the machining products could rapidly move away from the machining area because of the action of acoustic streaming,thereby avoiding the accumulation of bubbles and products.Subsequent analysis,comparing the process performance in micro-hole machining,confirmed that the ultrasonic field could effectively eliminate bubble and chip accumulation,thus significantly improving micro-hole quality.Furthermore,the impact of ultrasonic and laser parameters on micro-hole quality under varying machining methods was thoroughly investigated.The findings demonstrated that the novel methodology outlined in this study yielded superior-quality micro-holes at elevated ultrasonic and laser power levels,in conjunction with reduced laser frequency and scanning velocity.The taper of the micro-holes produced by the new method was reduced by more than 25%compared with the other conventional methods.

文摘In this paper,the variation of bubble size and number in the separation process of vibrated fluidized bed as well as the influence of bubble movement on the axial distribution of fine coal in different positions of the bed were studied.The result revealed that the size and number of bubbles is correlated with the fine coal separation effect in the separation process.When the bed is in a uniform and stable fluidized state,the size of bubbles in the separation process was in the range of 1-2.5 cm and the number of bubbles was reduced by nearly 50%,which is helpful to promote the stratification and segregation of fine coal.Thereby,after separation,the ash content of refined coal products of anthracite and 1/3 coking coal was reduced to 12.1% and 23.7% respectively,and the content of refined coal was up to 42.5% and 68.5% respectively,which show that the vibrated fluidized bed has a good separation performance,and can separate efficiently the coal of size−6+1 mm.
文摘Vibrational energy was introduced to a dense medium gas-solid fluidized bed to improve the separation performance of 1-6 mm fine low-rank coal. The setup was termed a vibrated gas-solid fluidized bed and could provide a stable fluidization state and uniform density distribution for dry coal beneficiation by the transfer of vibrational energy and the interaction between vibrations and the gas phase. Favorable segregation of the ash content of the 1-6-ram-sized lignite samples is achieved under suitable operating conditions. Higher yields of cleaning coal were acquired when the ash content was reduced. The probable error values were 0.065 and 0.055 at separating densities of 1.68 and 1.75 g/clTl3 for the 1-3- and 3-6-mm- sized lignite samples, respectively. Effective beneficiation of 1-6-ram-sized fine lignite could be achieved using the vibrated gas-solid fluidized bed, which provides an alternative technique for the separation of fine low-rank coal in arid areas.
文摘The uniform mixing of solids is important in many industries,such as the pharmaceutical,food,petrochemical and chemical industries.We numerically investigated the effect of particle size ratio on the mixing of bisized particles in a quasi-two-dimensional vibrationally fluidized bed.The granular bin ary mixtures comprised spherical particles with different size ratios.Three-dimensional discrete-element simulations agreed with previous experimental results.Convective and diffusive mechanisms occurred Keywords:Discrete-element modeling Fluidization Granular media Mixing Particle size ratio Vibration within the vibrated bed.The particle size had no significant influence on convective mixing,whereas the diffusive mechanism strengthened for large size ratios.The average particle velocity was larger in a mixture of large size ratios.The stronger diffusive motion and larger average particle velocity caused the particles to mix faster for large size ratios.The final mixing index decreased with size ratio because of the difference between the size and number of small and large particles.
文摘The packing densification of binary spherical mixtures under 3D mechanical vibration was studied experimentally. The influences of vibration frequency （ω）, volume fraction of large spheres （XL）, sphere size ratio （r, diameter ratio of small to large spheres）, and container size （D） on the random binary packing density （p） were systematically analyzed. For any given set of conditions, there exist optimal ω and XL to realize the densest random binary packing; too large or small ω and XL is not helpful for densification. The influences of both r and D on p are monotonic; either reducing r or increasing D leads to a high value of p. With all other parameters held constant, the densest random packing occurs when XL is dominant, which is in good agreement with the Furnas relation. Moreover, the highest random binary packing density obtained in our work agrees well with corresponding numerical and analytical results in the literature.

文摘Systematic physical experiments examining the packing densification of mono-sized cylindrical parti- cles subject to 3D mechanical vibration were carried out. The influence of vibration conditions such as vibration time, frequency, amplitude, vibration strength, container size, and the aspect ratio and spheric- ity of the particle on the packing density were analyzed and discussed. For each initial packing density with a certain aspect ratio, operating parameters were optimized to achieve much denser packing. The results indicate that the packing density initially increases with vibration time and then remains con- stant. The effects of vibration frequency and amplitude on the packing densification have similar trends, i.e. the packing density first increases with the vibration frequency or amplitude to a high value and then decreases; too large or small frequency or amplitude does not enhance densification. Increasing the container size can reduce container wall effects and help achieve a high packing density. Varying the particle aspect ratio and sphericity can lead to different dense random packing structures. Overall, based on results of the examined systems, the highest random packing density obtained in an infinite sized container can reach 0.73, which agrees well with corresponding numerical and analytical results in the literature.
文摘The arch formation mechanism and discharge process of a very cohesive fine powder(calcium carbonate)in a vibrated silo was investigated by experiments and discrete element method(DEM)simulations.An experimental setup is built to study the flow behaviors with the proposed image-based flow rate measurement method.A cohesive DEM model is used to investigate the dynamic behaviors of the powder bed.Results indicate that the arch formation depends on the vibration acceleration amplitude and is slightly affected by the frequency.The powder discharge flow rate increases with vibration acceleration amplitude and decreases with frequency.When the acceleration amplitude exceeds 15 g,the flow rate tends to stabilize.When the acceleration amplitude exceeds 1 g,there is separation and collision between the powder bed and the silo bottom.This collision leads to a significant increase in the contact force.
文摘Active matter encompasses all systems in which each individual constituent independently dissipates energy in its environment.This definition brings together biological systems such as cellular tissues,bacterial colonies,cytoskeletal filaments driven by molecular motors and animal groups,as well as collections of inert self-propelled particles such as Janus particles,[1]colloidal rollers[2]or vibrated grains.[3]Because of the local persistent drive,these systems are far from thermal equilibrium and cannot be described in terms of thermodynamic potentials.This leads to surprising physics that defies some of the basic intuitions that we have from passive systems,including longrange order in two dimensions[4]and phase-separation in absence of attractive interactions.

文摘The composite structures/components made by friction stir lap welding(FSLW)of Mg alloy sheet and Al alloy sheet are of wide application potentials in the manufacturing sector of transportation vehicles.To further improve the joint quality,the ultrasonic vibration(UV)is exerted in FSLW,and the UV enhanced FSLW(UVeFSLW)was developed for making Mg-to-Al dissimilar joints.The numerical analysis and experimental investigation were combined to study the process mechanism in Mg/Al UVeFSLW.An equation related to the temperature and strain rate was derived to calculate the grain size at different locations of the weld nugget zone,and the effect of grain size distribution on the threshold thermal stress was included,so that the prediction accuracy of flow stress was further improved.With such modified constitutive equation,the numerical simulation was conducted to compare the heat generation,temperature profiles and material flow behaviors in Mg/Al UVeFSLW/FSLW processes.It was found that the exerted UV decreased the temperature at two checking points on the tool/workpiece interface from 707/671 K in FSLW to 689/660 K in UVeFSLW,which suppressed the IMCs thickness at Mg-Al interface from 1.7μm in FSLW to 1.1μm in UVeFSLW.The exerted UV increased the horizontal materials flow ability,and decreased the upward flow ability,which resulted in the increase of effective sheet thickness/effective lap width from 2.01/3.70 mm in FSLW to 2.04/4.84 mm in UVeFSLW.Therefore,the ultrasonic vibration improved the tensile shear strength of Mg-to-Al lap joints by 18%.

文摘Due to space constraints in mountainous areas,twin tunnels are sometimes constructed very close to each other or even overlap.This proximity challenges the structural stability of tunnels built with the drill-and-blast method,as the short propagation distance amplifies blasting vibrations.A case of blasting damage is reported in this paper,where concrete cracks crossed construction joints in the twin-arch lining.To identify the causes of these cracks and develop effective vibration mitigation measures,field monitoring and numerical analysis were conducted.Specifically,a restart method was used to simulate the second peak particle velocity(PPV)of MS3 delays occurring 50 ms after the MS1 delays.The study found that the dynamic tensile stress in the tunnel induced by the blast wave has a linear relationship with the of the product of the concrete wave impedance and the PPV.A blast vibration velocity exceeding 23.3 cm/s resulted in tensile stress in the lining surpassing the ultimate tensile strength of C30 concrete,leading to tensile cracking on the blast-facing arch of the constructed tunnel.To control excessive vi-bration velocity,a mitigation trench was implemented to reduce blast wave impact.The trench,approximately 15 m in length,50 cm in width,and 450 cm in height,effectively lowered vibration ve-locities,achieving an average reduction rate of 52%according to numerical analysis.A key innovation of this study is the on-site implementation and validation of the trench's effectiveness in mitigating vi-brations.A feasible trench construction configuration was proposed to overcome the limitations of a single trench in fully controlling vibrations.To further enhance protection,zoned blasting and an auxiliary rock pillar,80 cm in width,were incorporated to reinforce the mid-wall.This study introduces novel strategies for vibration protection in tunnel blasting,offering innovative solutions to address blasting-induced vibrations and effectively minimize their impact,thereby enhancing safety and struc-tural stability.

文摘7075 aluminum alloy is often used as an important load-bearing structure in aircraft industry due to its superior mechanical properties.During the process of deep hole boring,the boring bar is prone to vibrate because of its limited machining space,bad environment and large elongation induced low stiffness.To reduce vibration and improve machined surface quality,a particle damping boring bar,filled with particles in its inside damping block,is designed based on the theory of vibration control.The theoretical damping coefficient is determined,then the boring bar structure is designed and trial-manufactured.Experimental studies through impact testing show that cemented carbide particles with a diameter of 5 mm and a filling rate of 70% achieve a damping ratio of 19.386%,providing excellent vibration reduction capabilities,which may reduce the possibility of boring vibration.Then,experiments are setup to investigate its vibration reduction performance during deep hole boring of 7075 aluminum alloy.To observe more obviously,severe working conditions are adopted and carried out to acquire the time domain vibration signal of the head of the boring bar and the surface morphologies and roughness values of the workpieces.By comparing different experimental results,it is found that the designed boring bar could reduce the maximum vibration amplitude by up to 81.01% and the surface roughness value by up to 47.09% compared with the ordinary boring bar in two sets of experiments,proving that the designed boring bar can effectively reduce vibration.This study can offer certain valuable insights for the machining of this material.
