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A novel block–particle discrete-element simulation method that matches the double medium of overlying rock(OLR)and loose layer(LSL)in coal mining is developed in this study.This method achieves the collaborative failure characteristics of mining damage under the conduction of double media between the OLR and LSL by combining the self-weight stress loading of the LSL and the breakage morphology of the bedrock top.Based on this,the conduction law of high-strength mining damage in the double medium in a western mining area is simulated and analyzed.The combining effect of the OLR breakage morphology and LSL characteristics on the surface-subsidence characteristics is analyzed and verified based on on-site measurements.The results indicate that the OLR is guided by the“double-control layer and thick-soft rock buffer layer”and shows“grouping subsidence”,whereas the surface forms collaborative subsidence with the thick-soft rock buffer layer.In the ultra-full mining stage,the surface presents an“asymmetric inverted trapezoidal”subsidence trough shape.The simulation results agree well the on-site measurements in terms of the surface-subsidence and bedrock-subsidence coefficients.The proposed simulation method provides a scientific approach for investigating the micro-conduction mechanism of mining damage under the effect of high-strength mining in western mining areas.It will benefit future investigations pertaining to the characteristics of OLR breakage and surface subsidence under conditions such as LSL thickness and proportion.

文摘The frontal edge of the Makran accretionary wedge is characterized by the development of multiple imbricate thrust faults trending E-W and relatively parallel.However,the mechanisms underlying their formation and the factors controlling their development remain subjects of debate.This paper,based on seismic profile analysis,employs physical simulation experiments to establish a'wedge'type subduction model.The study explores the influence of the initial wedge angle,horizontal sand layer thickness,and the presence or absence of a decollement layer on the structural styles of the thrust wedge.Experimental results indicate that as the initial wedge angle decreases from 11°to 8°,the lateral growth of the thrust wedge increases,whereas vertical growth diminishes.When the horizontal sand layer thickness is reduced from 4.5 cm to 3.0 cm,the spacing between the frontal thrusts decreases and the number of thrust faults increases.Both lateral and vertical growth are relatively reduced,resulting in a smaller thrust wedge.When a decollement layer is present,the structural style exhibits layered deformation.The decollement layer constrains the development of back thrusts and promotes the localized formation of frontal thrusts.In conclusion,the imbricate thrust faults at the frontal edge of the Makran accretionary wedge are primarily controlled by the characteristics of the wedge itself and the presence of the decollement layer.

文摘As coal mining depth increases,the combined effects of high stress,mining stress,and fault structures make dynamic impact hazards more frequent.The reproduction of dynamic impact phenomena is basis for studying their occurrence patterns and control mechanisms.Physical simulation test represents an efficacious methodology.However,there is currently a lack of simulation devices that can effectively simulate two types of dynamic impact phenomena,including high stress and fault slip dynamic impact.To solve aforementioned issues,the physical simulation test system for dynamic impact in deep roadways developed by authors is employed to carry out comparative tests of high stress and fault slip dynamic impact.The phenomena of high stress and fault slip dynamic impact are reproduced successfully.A comparative analysis is conducted on dynamic phenomena,stress evolution,roadway deformation,and support force.The high stress dynamic impact roadway instability mode,which is characterized by the release of high energy accompanied by symmetric damage,and the fault slip dynamic impact roadway instability mode,which is characterized by the propagation of unilateral stress waves accompanied by asymmetric damage,are clarified.On the basis,the differentiated control concepts for different types of dynamic impact in deep roadways are proposed.
