The expander and the compressor are connected to the same shaft and integrated into one unit, with the latter being driven by the former, thus the transfer loss and leakage loss can be decreased greatly. In these systems, the expander can be either connected with the first stage compressor (shortened as DCDL cycle) or the second stage compressor (shortened as DCDH cycle), but the two configuration ways can get different performances. By setting up theoretical model for two kinds of expander configuration ways in the transcritical carbon dioxide two-stage compression cycle, the first and the second laws of thermodynamics are used to analyze the coefficient of performance, exergy efficiency, inter-stage pressure, discharge temperature and exergy losses of each component for the two cycles. From the model results, the performance of DCDH cycle is better than that of DCDL cycle. The analysis results are indispensable to providing a theoretical basis for practical design and operating.展开更多

Through analysis of combustion and emissions, two-stage injection shows its advantages. Compared with the standard injection, it produces less emissions, while compared with single early injection, it expands engine operation range. Further experiments were carried out to study the influence of several injection control parameters on two-stage injection. The fuel in the first injection is used for forming homogeneous mixture. The fuel in the second injection keeps combustion, and it is the main source of smoke emissions. NO_x is formed in both combustion process caused by these two injections, and there is an optimum fuel allocation ration to produce minimum NO_x. The cylinder pressure decreases, and the combustion is depressed with the increasing of scavenging pressure. By optimizing the injection control parameters of two-stage injection, NO_x and smoke can be reduced beyond 30% simultaneously.展开更多

文摘To investigate the configuration consideration of expander in transcritical carbon dioxide two-stage compression cycle, the best place in the cycle should be searched for to reinvest the recovery work so as to improve the system efficiency. The expander and the compressor are connected to the same shaft and integrated into one unit, with the latter being driven by the former, thus the transfer loss and leakage loss can be decreased greatly. In these systems, the expander can be either connected with the first stage compressor (shortened as DCDL cycle) or the second stage compressor (shortened as DCDH cycle), but the two configuration ways can get different performances. By setting up theoretical model for two kinds of expander configuration ways in the transcritical carbon dioxide two-stage compression cycle, the first and the second laws of thermodynamics are used to analyze the coefficient of performance, exergy efficiency, inter-stage pressure, discharge temperature and exergy losses of each component for the two cycles. From the model results, the performance of DCDH cycle is better than that of DCDL cycle. The analysis results are indispensable to providing a theoretical basis for practical design and operating.

文摘In the field of rock engineering,the influence of water is a dynamic process that exhibits varying effects over time and across different locations.To further understand how water influences the mechanical properties and acoustic emission(AE)behavior of rocks,this study conducted uniaxial compression experiments on sandstones with varying degrees of wetting under both natural conditions and water-chemical environments.In addition,the study combined AE equipment with digital image correlation(DIC)to monitor the entire failure process.Using the sliding window algorithm,the variation in the variance of AE characteristic parameters during the process of sandstone loading to failure is analyzed from the perspective of critical slowing down.This analysis enables the effective identification of the early warning signal before failure.The experimental findings suggest that an increase in wetting height results in a gradual decrease in peak stress,accompanied by a concomitant increase in the percentage of shear cracks.The characteristic parameters,including energy,amplitude,and ringing count,all exhibit critical slowing phenomena.The waveform of AE characteristic parameters of the same sample is similar,and the mutation time of the precursor signal is roughly the same.All signals appear in the irreversible plastic deformation stage of microcrack initiation.The integration of critical slowing down theory and the b-value early warning method facilitates a more comprehensive evaluation of the stability of rock mass,thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency and safety of disaster prevention measures.

文摘We present the first systematic experimental validation of return-current-driven cylindrical implosion scaling in micrometer-sized Cu and Al wires irradiated by J-class femtosecond laser pulses.Employing XFEL-based imaging with sub-micrometer spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution,supported by hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations,we reveal how return current density depends precisely on wire diameter,material properties,and incident laser energy.We identify deviations from simple theoretical predictions due to geometrically influenced electron escape dynamics.These results refine and confirm the scaling laws essential for predictive modeling in high-energy-density physics and inertial fusion research.
文摘In order to enhance the off-peak performance of gas turbine combined cycle(GTCC)units,a novel collaborative power generation system(CPG)was proposed.During off-peak operation periods,the remaining power of the GTCC was used to drive the adiabatic compressed air energy storage(ACAES),while the intake air of the GTCC was heated by the compression heat of theACAES.Based on a 67.3MW GTCC,under specific demand load distribution,a CPG system and a benchmark system(BS)were designed,both of which used 9.388% of the GTCC output power to drive the ACAES.The performance of the CPG and the BS without intake air heating was compared.The results show that the load rate of the GTCC in the CPG system during off-peak periods is significantly enhanced,and the average operating efficiency of the GTCC is increased by 1.19 percentage points.However,in the BS system,due to the single collaborativemethod of load shifting,the GTCC operative efficiency is almost increased by 1.00 percentage points under different ambient temperatures.In a roundtrip cycle at an ambient temperature of 288.15K,the systemefficiency of the CPG reaches 0.5010,which is 0.62 percentage points higher than the operative efficiency of 0.4948 in the standalone GTCC;while the system efficiency of the BS is slightly inferior to that of the standalone GTCC.The findings confirm the technical feasibility and performance improvement of the ACAES-GTCC collaborative power generation system.

文摘A new-type multiple-source heat pump cycle with two-stage compression was established on the basis of the problems of similarly existing heat pumps.The equivalent temperature levels of typical evaporators are applied to the different heat sources of the proposed cycle,and the high-temperature heat sources are shown to enhance vapor injection.Then,the mathematical model and prototype are developed,and the results from experimental simulation and validation showed that the solar collector can improve the heating performance of the proposed heat pump system.In the middle-temperature heating period,the outdoor temperature is less than-25℃,and the average coefficient of performance(COP)value of the proposed heat pump was 4.2,which was greater than the COPs of conventional ground source heat pumps.

文摘In order to study the effect of two-stage injection on two-stroke diesel engines, a well characterized research engine equipped with electronically controlled common rail system and scavenging system was constructed. Through analysis of combustion and emissions, two-stage injection shows its advantages. Compared with the standard injection, it produces less emissions, while compared with single early injection, it expands engine operation range. Further experiments were carried out to study the influence of several injection control parameters on two-stage injection. The fuel in the first injection is used for forming homogeneous mixture. The fuel in the second injection keeps combustion, and it is the main source of smoke emissions. NO_x is formed in both combustion process caused by these two injections, and there is an optimum fuel allocation ration to produce minimum NO_x. The cylinder pressure decreases, and the combustion is depressed with the increasing of scavenging pressure. By optimizing the injection control parameters of two-stage injection, NO_x and smoke can be reduced beyond 30% simultaneously.

文摘A novel two-stage spectral compression structure which employs a logarithmic dispersion increasing fiber （DIF） in- terconnected with a highly nonlinear linear fiber-nonlinear optical loop mirror （HNLF-NOLM） is proposed and dem- onstrated by numerical simulation. The numerical simulation is implemented by solving the generalized nonlinear SchrOdinger equation using split-step Fourier method, where the soliton number is in the range of 0.5≤N≤1.4. The re- suits show that the spectra are well-compressed and low-pedestal, and the maximum spectral compression ratio （SCR） can reach 10.93 when N=l.4.

文摘A new unified constitutive model was developed to predict the two-stage creep-aging(TSCA)behavior of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.The particular bimodal precipitation feature was analyzed and modeled by considering the primary micro-variables evolution at different temperatures and their interaction.The dislocation density was incorporated into the model to capture the effect of creep deformation on precipitation.Quantitative transmission electron microscopy and experimental data obtained from a previous study were used to calibrate the model.Subsequently,the developed constitutive model was implemented in the finite element(FE)software ABAQUS via the user subroutines for TSCA process simulation and the springback prediction of an integral panel.A TSCA test was performed.The result shows that the maximum radius deviation between the formed plate and the simulation results is less than 0.4 mm,thus validating the effectiveness of the developed constitutive model and FE model.

文摘The progressive failure characteristics of geomaterial are a remarkable and challenging topic in geotechnical engineering.To study the effect of salt content and temperature on the progressive failure characteristics of frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil,a series of uniaxial compression tests were performed by integrating digital image correlation(DIC)technology into the testing apparatus.The evolution law of the uniaxial compression strength(UCS),the failure strain,and the formation of the shear band of the frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil were analyzed.The test results show that within the scope of this study,with the increase of salt content,both the UCS and the shear band angle initially decrease with increasing salt content before showing an increase.In contrast,the failure strain and the width of the shear band exhibit an initial increase followed by a decrease in the samples.In addition,to investigate the brittle failure characteristics of frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil,two classic brittleness evaluation methods were employed to quantitatively assess the brittleness level for the soil samples.The findings suggest that the failure characteristics under all test conditions in this study belong to the transition stage between brittle and ductile,indicating that frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil exhibits certain brittle behavior under uniaxial compression conditions,and the brittleness index basically decreases and then increases with the rise in salt content.

文摘The effect of deformation resistance of AlCr_(1.3)TiNi_(2) eutectic high-entropy alloys under various current densities and strain rates was investigated during electrically-assisted compression.Results show that at current density of 60 A/mm^(2) and strain rate of 0.1 s^(−1),the ultimate tensile stress shows a significant decrease from approximately 3000 MPa to 1900 MPa with reduction ratio of about 36.7%.However,as current density increases,elongation decreases due to intermediate temperature embrittlement.This is because the current induces Joule effect,which then leads to stress concentration and more defect formation.Moreover,the flow stress is decreased with the increase in strain rate at constant current density.

文摘The mechanical behavior of cemented gangue backfill materials(CGBMs)is closely related to particle size distribution(PSD)of aggregates and properties of cementitious materials.Consequently,the true triaxial compression tests,CT scanning,SEM,and EDS tests were conducted on cemented gangue backfill samples(CGBSs)with various carbon nanotube concentrations(P_(CNT))that satisfied fractal theory for the PSD of aggregates.The mechanical properties,energy dissipations,and failure mechanisms of the CGBSs under true triaxial compression were systematically analyzed.The results indicate that appropriate carbon nanotubes(CNTs)effectively enhance the mechanical properties and energy dissipations of CGBSs through micropore filling and microcrack bridging,and the optimal effect appears at P_(CNT)of 0.08wt%.Taking PSD fractal dimension(D)of 2.500 as an example,compared to that of CGBS without CNT,the peak strength(σ_(p)),axial peak strain(ε_(1,p)),elastic strain energy(Ue),and dissipated energy(U_(d))increased by 12.76%,29.60%,19.05%,and90.39%,respectively.However,excessive CNTs can reduce the mechanical properties of CGBSs due to CNT agglomeration,manifesting a decrease inρ_(p),ε_(1,p),and the volumetric strain increment(Δε_(v))when P_(CNT)increases from 0.08wt%to 0.12wt%.Moreover,the addition of CNTs improved the integrity of CGBS after macroscopic failure,and crack extension in CGBSs appeared in two modes:detour and pass through the aggregates.Theσ_(p)and U_(d)firstly increase and then decrease with increasing D,and porosity shows the opposite trend.Theε_(1,p)andΔε_(v)are negatively correlated with D,and CGBS with D=2.150 has the maximum deformation parameters(ε_(1,p)=0.05079,Δε_(v)=0.01990)due to the frictional slip effect caused by coarse aggregates.With increasing D,the failure modes of CGBSs are sequentially manifested as oblique shear failure,"Y-shaped"shear failure,and conjugate shear failure.

文摘Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation(MICP)technology can induce calcium carbonate crystals with cementation and stable performance in the process of microbial metabolism or enzymization through the regulation of environmental factors MICP can be used as a cementing agent to cement cohesionless sand particles to form the materials with the characteristics of higher strength,better durability and environmental friendli-ness,as well as a good engineering application prospect.In this paper,the shear strength of sand column was tested by triaxial compression tests,and the strength index was obtained.In order to further study the micro-strength mechanism and the failure process,based on the discrete element method,a numerical model of MICP cemented sand column was established considering the factors of matrix soil particle gradation,particle mor-phology,content ratio of induced calcium carbonate,pore distribution characteristics,inter-particle cementation and so on.The failure process of MICP cemented sand column under load was analysed by numerical simulation,and the reliability of the numerical model was tested by combining with the stress intensity curve of samples under test conditions.The results indicate that compared with the actual triaxial tests of MICP cemented sand column,although there are deviations in stress and strain,cohesion and internal friction angle,the numerical simulation shows similar development law and intensity amplitude,and the same failure trend.The work in this paper verifies the reliability of the numerical model and provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical mechanical properties of biomineralized materials.

文摘AZ31/Al/Ta composites were prepared using the vacuum hot compression bonding(VHCB)method.The effect of hot compressing temperature on the interface microstructure evolution,phase constitution,and shear strength at the interface was investigated.Moreover,the interface bonding mechanisms of the AZ31/Al/Ta composites during the VHCB process were explored.The results demonstrate that as the VHCB temperature increases,the phase composition of the interface between Mg and Al changes from the Mg-Al brittle intermetallic compounds(Al_(12)Mg_(17)and Al_(3)Mg_(2))to the Al-Mg solid solution.Meanwhile,the width of the Al/Ta interface diffusion layer at 450℃increases compared to that at 400℃.The shear strengths are 24 and 46 MPa at 400 and 450℃,respectively.The interfacial bonding mechanism of AZ31/Al/Ta composites involves the coexistence of diffusion and mechanical meshing.Avoiding the formation of brittle phases at the interface can significantly improve interfacial bonding strength.
