Gas holdup as measured by a differential pressure method was investigated and the relative errors compared to the average gas holdup from the volume expansion method. The errors were used to establish optimum measurement positions. The results show that the measurement position should be in the middle of the column and in the region half way from the center to the wall (the half-radius). The gas holdup along the axial direction is lower at the bottom and higher at the top of the floatation column. The gas holdup along the radial direction is lower near the wall and higher near the center of the flotation column. The average gas holdup measure- ment can be replaced by regional gas holdup values.展开更多

In this study, high-pressure differential thermal analysis(HPDTA) was utilized to measure the melting temperatures of Fe–C alloy(3.4–4.2 wt.% C)under 5 GPa and to plot the liquidus temperature curves spanning from hypoeutectic to hypereutectic compositions. Our results indicate that under 5 GPa, the carbon content at the eutectic point of the Fe–C alloy decreases to 3.6–3.7 wt.%C, representing a reduction of approximately 0.6 wt.% C compared to the atmospheric pressure value(4.3 wt.% C). Concurrently, the eutectic temperature rises to 1195℃, showing an elevation of 48℃relative to the atmospheric pressure condition(1147℃). Microstructural analysis, x-ray diffraction(XRD), and hardness tests further corroborate these findings, demonstrating that high pressure significantly suppresses the solubility of carbon in γ-Fe, resulting in a decrease in the eutectic carbon content. Additionally, the hardness of the Fe–C alloy under 5 GPa is increased by more than 50% compared to that of the same type of Fe–C alloy under atmospheric pressure. This study provides essential experimental data for constructing high-pressure Fe–C phase diagrams and offers valuable insights for the design of high-performance Fe-based materials under extreme conditions.展开更多

Signals obtained from a Venturi meter were decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions （IMFs） with HHT, then the energy fraction of each intrinsic mode and the mean value of residual function were calculated, from which the rules of flow regime identification were summarized. Experiments were carried out on two-phase flow in the horizontal tubes with 50mm and 40mm inner diameter, while water flowrate was in the range of 1.3m^3.h^-1 to 10.5m^3.h^-1, oil flowrate was from 4.2m^3.h^-1 to 7.0m^3.h^-1 and gas flowrate from 0 to 15m^3.h^-1. The results show that the proposed rules have high precision for single phase, bubbly, and slug, plug flow regirne identification, which are independent of not only properties of two-phase fluid.

The biological fouling occurs due to the bacteria growth and proliferation under nutritive environment, resulting in a dramatic increase of dP （differential pressure） in the RO system, which requires frequent system shutdown for cleaning. This paper discusses the effectiveness of low-dP RO element and periodic flushing on the biofouling scheme of industrial steel mill wastewater reuse system. The low-dP RO element is able to provide low RO system dP, which is expressed to be lower biofouling starting point during the industrial system operation. However, the periodic flushing utilizes fresh water to remove the biofilm deposit along with feed channel. The long term operation performance demonstrated strong caustic is effective in removing the biofilm and recovering RO system performance. It is experimentally validated that, in the case of a high biofouling environment, low-dP RO element and periodic flushing is able to extend the cleaning cycles by 36.6% and 11.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, a joint application of both methods is proven to improve the biofouling control and extend the cleaning cycle by 62.5%, as compared to standard RO technology.展开更多

The flow measurement model is established based on the fluctuation characteristics of differential pressure(DP) signals measured from a Venturi meter. It is demonstrated that DP signals of two-phase flow are a linear mixture of DP signals of single phase fluids. The measurement model is a combination of throttle relationship and blind source separation model. In addition, we estimate the mixture matrix using the independent component analysis(ICA) technique. The mixture matrix could be described using the variances of two DP signals acquired from two Venturi meters. The validity of the proposed model was tested in the gas–liquid twophase flow loop facility. Experimental results showed that for most slug flow the relative error is within 10%.We also find that the mixture matrix is beneficial to investigate the flow mechanism of gas–liquid two-phase flow.展开更多

文摘Excessive sintering of mould fluxes can readily cause defects and sticker breakouts in continuously cast strands.Studying the sintering property is important to minimize problems related to sintering arising from the use of mould fluxes in continuous casting.An effective method of measuring the apparent sintering temperature has been developed in this study.The method is based on monitoring the formation of cavities caused by melting of samples.For monitoring,the differential pressure of an inert gas flow was measured through a set volume of sample（mould flux A）held in a furnace tube.The apparent sintering temperature was defined in this test to determine sintering process.The sintering properties of fluxes with various contents of carbon black were examined along with identification of mineralogical phases and the nature of the sinter for samples of mould flux A held for one hour at different temperatures.The experimental results indicated that the apparent sintering temperature（AST）was a useful parameter to assess the threat of problems related to sinter.

文摘Electro-hydraulic proportional valve is the core control valve in many hydraulic systems used in agricultural and engineering machinery.To address the problem related to the large throttling losses and poor stability typically associated with these valves,here,the beneficial effects of a triangular groove structure on the related hydraulic response are studied.A mathematical model of the pressure compensation system based on the power-bond graph method is introduced,and the AMESim software is used to simulate its response.The results show that the triangular groove structure increases the jet angle and effectively compensates for the hydrodynamic force.The steady-state differential pressure at the valve port of the new pressure compensation structure was 0.65 MPa.Furthermore,experimental results show that the pressure difference at the main valve port is 0.73 MPa,and that the response time is less than 0.2 s.It is concluded that the new compensation structure has good pressure compensation response characteristics.
文摘The biofouling of RO （Reverse Osmosis） system is one of the most common problems in highly contaminated demineralization and wastewater reuse system. The biological fouling occurs due to the bacteria growth and proliferation under nutritive environment, resulting in a dramatic increase of dP （differential pressure） in the RO system, which requires frequent system shutdown for cleaning. This paper discusses the effectiveness of low-dP RO element and periodic flushing on the biofouling scheme of industrial steel mill wastewater reuse system. The low-dP RO element is able to provide low RO system dP, which is expressed to be lower biofouling starting point during the industrial system operation. However, the periodic flushing utilizes fresh water to remove the biofilm deposit along with feed channel. The long term operation performance demonstrated strong caustic is effective in removing the biofilm and recovering RO system performance. It is experimentally validated that, in the case of a high biofouling environment, low-dP RO element and periodic flushing is able to extend the cleaning cycles by 36.6% and 11.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, a joint application of both methods is proven to improve the biofouling control and extend the cleaning cycle by 62.5%, as compared to standard RO technology.

文摘We propose a novel flow measurement method for gas–liquid two-phase slug flow by using the blind source separation technique. The flow measurement model is established based on the fluctuation characteristics of differential pressure(DP) signals measured from a Venturi meter. It is demonstrated that DP signals of two-phase flow are a linear mixture of DP signals of single phase fluids. The measurement model is a combination of throttle relationship and blind source separation model. In addition, we estimate the mixture matrix using the independent component analysis(ICA) technique. The mixture matrix could be described using the variances of two DP signals acquired from two Venturi meters. The validity of the proposed model was tested in the gas–liquid twophase flow loop facility. Experimental results showed that for most slug flow the relative error is within 10%.We also find that the mixture matrix is beneficial to investigate the flow mechanism of gas–liquid two-phase flow.

文摘Pressure differential deviations under static conditions and pressure convergence fluctuations under dynamic disturbances are widely reported problems with pressure differential control in pharmaceutical cleanrooms,yet their underlying mechanisms and key reasons remain insufficiently explored.This study performed a field survey and model-based simulations to identify the major influencing parameters and quantify their influence on pressure differentials.Twelve pharmaceutical cleanrooms with varying environmental control parameters were included in the field survey,all of which were served by a variable air volume(VAV)ventilation system.Large deviations between actual and design pressure differentials were found,ranging from 10%to 42.5%,and a total of 24 uncertain parameters and their respective uncertainty ranges were identified.Based on the field survey,a data-driven pressure differential response model was developed using MATLAB/Simulink platform.The model fully took into account the system dynamics and facilitated real-time monitoring and control of the pressure differential.Sobol-based sensitivity analysis was then conducted to identify key influencing parameters of pressure differential deviations.The simulated results revealed that static pressure differential deviations were predominantly influenced by pressure sensing accuracy,exhaust airflow accuracy,and duct impedance,while dynamic disturbances were mainly driven by room envelope airtightness and supply airflow accuracy.The interactions between connected zones were pronounced.Rooms with higher branch duct impedance experienced smaller pressure differential deviations due to natural buffering characteristics,while the parameter uncertainties in these rooms significantly affected pressure differential in other rooms.These findings offer practical guidance for the design and operation of precise pressure differential control in pharmaceutical cleanrooms.

文摘Distributed pressure sensor array is a promising approach for the estimation of flight parameters for small unmanned aerial vehicles.Current flexible pressure sensor arrays are conventionally subjected to limited sensor resolution,poor bending flexibility,and inadequate packaging protection,resulting in insufficient precision for flight parameter estimation.Here we present a high-resolution differential pressure sensor array using a calorimetric measurement method and a multilayer polyimide bonding technique.The proposed differential pressure sensor array reaches a detection limit of 36.5 mPa over a range of 500 Pa and shows high repeatability when attached to varying curved surfaces.In addition,a superhydrophobic packaging is integrated into the sensor fabrication process,endowing it with waterproof capability.Utilizing a multilayer perceptron neural network,we demonstrated the function of the sensor array in estimating airspeeds and angle of attacks,achieving average solving errors of 0.15 m/s and 0.37°,respectively.

文摘Flexible sensing array integrated with multiple sensors is an attractive approach for flight parameter detection.However,the poor resolution of flexible sensors and time-consuming neural network processes mitigate their accuracy and adaptability in predicting flight parameters.Here we present an ultra-thin flexible sensing patch with a new configuration,comprising a differential pressure sensor array and a vector flow velocity sensor.The capacitive differential pressure sensor array is fabricated by a multilayer polyimide bonding technique,reaching a resolution of 0.14 Pa.To solve flight parameters with the flexible sensing patch,we develop an analytical pressure-velocity fusion algorithm,enabling fast response and high accuracy in flight parameter detection.The average errors in calculating the angle of attack,angle of sideslip,and airspeed are 0.22°,0.35°,and 0.73 m s^(-1),respectively.The high-resolution flexible sensors and novel analytical pressure-velocity fusion algorithm pave the way for flexible sensing patch-based air data sensing techniques.
