After composites were fabricated by extrusion processusing ball-milledCu-CNT powders, mechanicalpropertiesofCu-CNT composites according to CNT fraction were reviewed. CNT （1%, 5% and 10%）,Cu （d=100 nm）, zirconia balls （90 g） and ethanol （20mL） were mixed and dispersed for5h at a speed of 500 r/minusing a planetary ball mill. A billet （d=50 mm, length=100 mm） was made with Cu, and the composite powderswerefilled up into billet using the uni-axial press. In the extrusion process, after the billet was heated at 880℃for1h, specimens were produced in the shape of a round bar using the billet by applying a load of 200 t. The composite powdersweremeasured for particle size byparticlesize distributionequipment. Then the specimen surface fabricated by extrusion was observed by SEM. Mechanicalpropertiesmeasured by the indentation equipment increased with increasing CNT content. The yield strength, tensile strength and hardness of theCu–CNTs composites canbeobviously improved.展开更多

The impulsive noise from the gun has various negative effects such as damage of human bodies, damage of structures, creating an environmental, social problem and also military problems such as exposure of location of troops. This high pressure impulsive sound, generated during the blast flow, was studied and attenuated. An axisymmetric computational domain was constructed by employing Spalart Allmaras turbulence model. Approximately 90% of pressure and 20 dB of sound level are reduced due to the use of the three baffle silencer at the muzzle end of the gun barrel, in comparison with the tank gun without silencer. Also, the sound pressure level at different points in the ambient region shows the same attenuation in results. This study will be helpful to understand the blast wave characteristics and also to get a good idea to design silencer for large caliber weapon system.展开更多

The present experiment was conducted aiming at investigating the forced heat transfer characteristics of aqueous copper (Cu) nanofluid at varying concentration of Cu nano-particles in different flow regimes (300<Re≤16 000). The forced convective heat transfer enhancement is available both in the laminar and turbulent flow with increasing the concentration. Especially, the enhancement rate increases dramatically in laminar flow regime, for instance, the heat transfer coefficient of Cu/water nanofluid increases by two times at around Re=2 000 compared with that of base fluid water, and averagely increases by 62% at 1% volume fraction. However, the heat transfer coefficient of Cu/water decreases sharply in the transition flow regime. Furthermore, it has the trend that the heat transfer coefficient displays worse with increasing the concentration.展开更多

Distilled water was used as working fluid inside the OHP with different filling ratios of 40%, 60% and 80% of total inside volume. Experimental results show that the thermal characteristics are significantly inter-related with pressure fluctuations as well as pressure frequency. And the pressure frequency also depends upon the evaporator temperature that is maintained in the range of 60-96 ℃. Piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor （Model-Kistler 4045A5） was used to take data. The investigation shows that the filling ratio of 60% gives the highest inside pressure magnitude at maximum number of pressure frequency at any of set evaporator temperature and the lowest heat flow resistance is achieved at 60% filling ratio.展开更多

Due to efficient performance, shell-side flow in this type of vaporizers has received considerable attention and has been investigated extensively. However, the detailed flow structure in the shell needs to be determined for reliable and effective design. Therefore, the objective of this study was to clarify the flow structure in shell by particle image velocimetry （PIV）. Experiments were conducted using two types of model; 15% baffle cut having inlet and outlet positions !n the direction of 90° to the cut and 30% baffle cut having inlet and outlet positions in the direction of 180° to the cut. Each test section is 169 mm in inner diameter and 344.6 mm in length. The flow features were characterized in different baffle cuts with regards to the velocity vector field and velocity distribution. The results show that the flow characteristics of 15% baffle cut type vaporizer are comparable to those of 30% baffle cut type vaporizer.展开更多
