The results indicate that the interface morphology is not only related to the withdrawal velocity （R） but also to the melt superheating temperature （Ts） when the thermal gradient of solidification interface remains constant for different Ts with appropriate superheating treatment regulation. The interface morphology changes from cell to plane at R of 1.1 μm/s when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1650°C, and maintains plane with further elevated Ts of 1750°C. However, the interface morphology changes from coarse dendrite to cell and then to cellular dendrite at R of 2.25 μm/s when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1650°C and then to 1750°C. It is proved that the solidification onset temperature and the solidification interval undergo the nonlinear variation when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1680°C, and the turning point is 1650°C at which the solidification onset temperature and the solidification interval are all minimum. This indicates that the melt superheating treatment enhances the solidification interface stability and has important effect on the solidification characteristics.展开更多

The results show that the as cast microstructure of the alloy consists of γ solid solution matrix,γ′ precipitate in cubic shape, (γ+γ′) eutectic and MC carbide, and the morphology of MC carbide in the microstructure can be varied from coarse scriptlike, fine scriptlike to fine cubelike or discontinuous particles by increasing the melt superheating temperature. The mechanism of melt superheating is discussed by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA) technique.展开更多

The semi-coherent Ag/Ni interface formed at low temperatures acts as an effective barrier against the surface melting and leads to a substantial superheating of the Ag cluster. The melting point was found to be about 100 K above the equilibrium melting point of the bulk Ag crystal (1230 K±15 K) and about 290 K above that (1040 K) of the free Ag3055 cluster. A superheating of 70 K was observed in the high-temperature differential scanning calorimetry measurement for Ag particles with a mean size of 30 nm embedded in Ni matrix prepared by means of melt-spinning. Melting is initiated locally at the defective interfacial area and then propagates inwards, suggesting a heterogeneously nucleated melting event at the Ag/Ni interface.展开更多

The experimental results show that fine equiaxed grains are acquired under the action of low voltage pulsed magnetic field. The refinement effect of the pulsed magnetic field is affected by the melt cooling rate and superheating. The decrease of cooling rate and superheating enhance the refinement effect of the low voltage pulsed magnetic field. The magnetic force and the melt flow during solidification are modeled and simulated to reveal the grain refinement mechanism. It is considered that the melt convection caused by the pulsed magnetic field, as well as cooling rate and superheating contributes to the refinement of solidified grains.展开更多

The results show that the Ti existing in ELTA without Al-4B addition exhibits a certain grain refining efficiency when the melt superheating temperature is lower,but the efficiency decreases rapidly when the superheating temperature is higher.The grain refining efficiency of the Al-5Ti-1B master alloy is better than that of the Ti existing in ELTA without Al-4B addition at any superheating temperature,but it also decreases obviously with the increase of the superheating temperature.One important reason is that the TiB2 particles coming from the Al-5Ti-1B master alloy can settle down at the bottom of the Al melt easily when the superheating temperature is increased,thus decrease the number of the potent heterogeneous nuclei retained in the Al melt.If the Al-4B master alloy is added to the ELTA melt,the grain refining efficiency of the Ti existing in ELTA can be improved significantly, and does not decrease with the increase of the superheating temperature.This perhaps provides us a possible method to suppress the effect of the superheated melt on the microstructures of aluminum..展开更多

When the superheated steam temperature is high, the thermal efficiency of the unit is relatively high. However, when the superheated steam temperature is too high, the metal material of the steam turbine cannot bear it. If the temperature is too low, the efficiency of the unit will be affected. The stability of superheated steam temperature is very important for the safe and economic operation of the unit, so there are higher requirements for its control. In the whole control system of power plant, there are many factors affecting superheated steam temperature, including steam flow disturbance, flue gas flow disturbance and desuperheating water disturbance. The spray desuperheating method is widely used at present, which is beneficial to the safe operation of superheater. Combined with the operation characteristics of the 300MW unit in Diaobingshan power plant, this paper studies and analyzes the superheated steam temperature control strategy, designs a set of control scheme under all working conditions, sets the relevant control parameters, and verifies its effect through simulation. The superheated steam temperature is regulated by two-stage spray desuperheating, and the first stage desuperheating is arranged at the inlet of platen superheater for coarse regulation of steam temperature. The secondary desuperheater is arranged at the inlet of high temperature superheater for fine adjustment. The superheated steam temperature at the outlet of the boiler is maintained at the set value by adjusting the water spray quantity of the primary and secondary superheaters.展开更多

A new high temperature autoclave was designed, where volume and pressure could be adjusted. Aquathermolysis was studied on two different conventional heavy oil samples under different reaction times and temperatures. Experimental results show that aquathermolysis does take place for conventional heavy oil. As reaction time increases, the oil viscosity reduces. However, the reaction will reach equilibrium after a certain period of time and won＇t be sensitive to any further reaction time any more. Analysis shows that, while resin and asphaltenes decrease, saturated hydrocarbons and the H/C ratio increase after reaction. The main mechanism of aquathermolysis includes hydrogenization, desulfuration reaction of resin and asphaltenes, etc.展开更多

文摘The influence of melt superheating treatment on the solid/liquid （S/L） interface morphology of directionally solidified Ni-based superalloy DZ125 is investigated to elucidate the relationship between melt characteristic and S/L interface stability. The results indicate that the interface morphology is not only related to the withdrawal velocity （R） but also to the melt superheating temperature （Ts） when the thermal gradient of solidification interface remains constant for different Ts with appropriate superheating treatment regulation. The interface morphology changes from cell to plane at R of 1.1 μm/s when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1650°C, and maintains plane with further elevated Ts of 1750°C. However, the interface morphology changes from coarse dendrite to cell and then to cellular dendrite at R of 2.25 μm/s when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1650°C and then to 1750°C. It is proved that the solidification onset temperature and the solidification interval undergo the nonlinear variation when Ts increases from 1500°C to 1680°C, and the turning point is 1650°C at which the solidification onset temperature and the solidification interval are all minimum. This indicates that the melt superheating treatment enhances the solidification interface stability and has important effect on the solidification characteristics.

文摘Using molecular dynamics with embedded-atom-type interatomicpotentials, we simulated the melting behavior of a spherical Ag3055 cluster coated with Ni. The semi-coherent Ag/Ni interface formed at low temperatures acts as an effective barrier against the surface melting and leads to a substantial superheating of the Ag cluster. The melting point was found to be about 100 K above the equilibrium melting point of the bulk Ag crystal (1230 K±15 K) and about 290 K above that (1040 K) of the free Ag3055 cluster. A superheating of 70 K was observed in the high-temperature differential scanning calorimetry measurement for Ag particles with a mean size of 30 nm embedded in Ni matrix prepared by means of melt-spinning. Melting is initiated locally at the defective interfacial area and then propagates inwards, suggesting a heterogeneously nucleated melting event at the Ag/Ni interface.

The results show that the Ti existing in ELTA without Al-4B addition exhibits a certain grain refining efficiency when the melt superheating temperature is lower,but the efficiency decreases rapidly when the superheating temperature is higher.The grain refining efficiency of the Al-5Ti-1B master alloy is better than that of the Ti existing in ELTA without Al-4B addition at any superheating temperature,but it also decreases obviously with the increase of the superheating temperature.One important reason is that the TiB2 particles coming from the Al-5Ti-1B master alloy can settle down at the bottom of the Al melt easily when the superheating temperature is increased,thus decrease the number of the potent heterogeneous nuclei retained in the Al melt.If the Al-4B master alloy is added to the ELTA melt,the grain refining efficiency of the Ti existing in ELTA can be improved significantly, and does not decrease with the increase of the superheating temperature.This perhaps provides us a possible method to suppress the effect of the superheated melt on the microstructures of aluminum..
文摘The control of grain size in superalloys is critical in the manufacture of gas turbine blades.The aim of the present research is to provide the technology for producing complicated hollow turbine blades with fine surface grains and better comprehensive mechanical properties.By melt superheating treatment and coating the internal surfaces of shell mould using a cobalt aluminate-bearing coating material,the in-uence of cobalt aluminate as inoculant on the surface grain sizes of turbine blade was studied with addition of cobalt aluminate:0,35%,45%-65% and 100% respectively.At the same time,the effects of cooling circumstances of the blades on surface grain sizes were also experimented under the same addition of cobalt aluminate.The results showed that the melt superheating treatment plays a significant role in the grain size and carbide morphology;and fine surface grains were obtained when the internal surfaces of shell mould were coated using cobalt aluminate coatings.When the addition of cobalt aluminate in coating is between 45%-65%,and the melt is poured into preheated shell moulds with fine silica sand as backing sand,the blades satisfied the surface grain size requirement is over 90%.In addition,comparisons of the surface grain size and the mechanical properties were also conducted between home-made and foreign-made blades.
文摘Superheated steam temperature control system is an indispensable part of the unit, its performance and reliability has become an important factor to ensure the safety and economy of the unit. When the superheated steam temperature is high, the thermal efficiency of the unit is relatively high. However, when the superheated steam temperature is too high, the metal material of the steam turbine cannot bear it. If the temperature is too low, the efficiency of the unit will be affected. The stability of superheated steam temperature is very important for the safe and economic operation of the unit, so there are higher requirements for its control. In the whole control system of power plant, there are many factors affecting superheated steam temperature, including steam flow disturbance, flue gas flow disturbance and desuperheating water disturbance. The spray desuperheating method is widely used at present, which is beneficial to the safe operation of superheater. Combined with the operation characteristics of the 300MW unit in Diaobingshan power plant, this paper studies and analyzes the superheated steam temperature control strategy, designs a set of control scheme under all working conditions, sets the relevant control parameters, and verifies its effect through simulation. The superheated steam temperature is regulated by two-stage spray desuperheating, and the first stage desuperheating is arranged at the inlet of platen superheater for coarse regulation of steam temperature. The secondary desuperheater is arranged at the inlet of high temperature superheater for fine adjustment. The superheated steam temperature at the outlet of the boiler is maintained at the set value by adjusting the water spray quantity of the primary and secondary superheaters.

文摘The high content of alkali chlorides in municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI) fly ash limit its resource reuse due to the potential environmental risks.In this paper, with superheated steam as the gasifying agent and inducer, chlorides in fly ash were removed by thermal treatment within a moderate temperature range.Thermal treatment experiments were performed under different conditions: temperature(500–800℃), steam addition(mass ratio of steam to fly ash = 0.25–1) and residence time(0.5–3 hr).Iron and aluminum powders were added to fly ash to improve the chlorine removal efficiency.Water-soluble chlorides included Na Cl and KCl, and insoluble chlorides mainly included Ca(OH)Cl.The heating process with the addition of water steam was more efficient than that without steam in terms of the removal performance of water-soluble chlorides.The removal efficiency of soluble chlorides reached 75.25% for a mass ratio of 1:1 after 1-hr thermal treatment at 700℃.When the residence time was increased above 1 hr, the total dechlorination efficiency was not increased dramatically.Moreover, adding iron and aluminum powder into the fly ash improved the removal of water-insoluble chlorides, and the total dechlorination efficiency was increased by 11.41%–16.64%.

文摘This paper presents a new aquathermolysis study of conventional heavy oil in superheated steam. A new high temperature autoclave was designed, where volume and pressure could be adjusted. Aquathermolysis was studied on two different conventional heavy oil samples under different reaction times and temperatures. Experimental results show that aquathermolysis does take place for conventional heavy oil. As reaction time increases, the oil viscosity reduces. However, the reaction will reach equilibrium after a certain period of time and won＇t be sensitive to any further reaction time any more. Analysis shows that, while resin and asphaltenes decrease, saturated hydrocarbons and the H/C ratio increase after reaction. The main mechanism of aquathermolysis includes hydrogenization, desulfuration reaction of resin and asphaltenes, etc.

文摘Power plants are nonlinear and uncertain complex systems. Reliable control of superheated steam temperature is necessary to ensure high efficiency and high load-following capability in the operation of modem power plant. A nonlinear generalized predictive controller based on neuro-fuzzy network （NFGPC） is proposed in this paper. The proposed nonlinear controller is applied to control the superheated steam temperature of a 200MW power plant. From the experiments on the plant and the simulation of the plant, much better performance than the traditional controller is obtained,
