Purpose: The purpose of this study is to advance turbulent thermal convection inside the constant heat-flux round tube inserted by multiple perforated twisted tapes. Design/methodology/approach: The novel design of this study is accomplished by inserting several twisted tapes and drilling some circular perforations near the tape edge (C1, C3, C5: solid tapes;C2, C4, C6: perforated tapes). The turbulence flow appearances and thermal convective features are examined for various Reynolds numbers (8,000–14,000) using the renormalization group (RNG) (Formula presented.) turbulent model and Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm. Findings: The simulated outcomes reveal that inserting more perforated-twisted tapes into the heated round tube promotes turbulent thermal convection effectively. A swirling flow caused by the twisted tapes to produce the secondary flow jets between two reverse-spin tapes can combine with the main flow passing through the perforations at the outer edge to enhance the vortex flow. The primary factors are the quantity of twisted tapes and with/without perforations, as the perforation ratio remains at 2.5 in this numerical work. Weighing friction along the tube, C6 (four reverse-spin perforated-twisted tapes) brings the uppermost thermal-hydraulic performance of 1.23 under Re = 8,000. Research limitations/implications: The constant thermo-hydraulic attributes of liquid water and the steady Newtonian fluid are research limitations for this simulated work. Practical implications: The simulated outcomes will avail the inner-pipe design of a heat exchanger inserted by multiple perforated twisted tapes to enhance superior heat transfer. Originality/value: These twisted tapes form tiny circular perforations along the tape edge to introduce the fluid flow through these bores and combine with the secondary flow induced between two reverse-spin tapes. This scheme enhances the swirling flow, turbulence intensity and fluid mixing

Blade rubbing faults cause detrimental impact on the operation of aeroengines. Most of the existing studies on blade rubbing in the shaft-disk-blade-casing(SDBC) system have overlooked the elastic deformation of the blade, while some only consider the whirl of the rotor, neglecting its spin. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a dynamic model with large rotation for the SDBC system. The model incorporates the spin and whirl of the rotor, enabling the realistic reproduction of multiblade rubbing faults. To verify the accuracy of the SDBC model with large rotation and demonstrate its capability to effectively consider the rotational effects such as the centrifugal stiffening and gyroscopic effects, the natural characteristics and dynamic responses of the proposed model are compared with those obtained from reported research and experimental results. Furthermore, the effects of the rotating speed, contact stiffness,and blade number on the dynamic characteristics of the SDBC system with multi-blade rubbing are investigated. The results indicate that the phase angle between the rotor deflection and the unbalance excitation force increases with the increasing rotating speed,which significantly influences the rubbing penetration of each blade. The natural frequency of the SDBC system with rubbing constrain can be observed in the acceleration response of the casing and the torsional response of the shaft, and the frequency is related to the contact stiffness. Moreover, the vibration amplitude increases significantly with the product of the blade number under rubbing, and the rotating frequency approaches the natural frequency of the SDBC system. The proposed model can provide valuable insight for the fault diagnosis of rubbing in bladed rotating machinery.

Off-ramp diverging road segment is the preparation area for vehicles driving away from the freeway, while it causes more traffic conflicts making it a typical safety bottleneck. Focusing on improving driving safety, a Learning-based Model Predictive Control (LMPC) strategy is proposed to deal with the motion planning of autonomous vehicles (AVs) considering the dynamic driving behavior of surrounding traffic occupants in this area. The traditional MPC is combined with the reinforcement learning (RL) method to impose constraints for limitations to ensure safety while reducing conservatism. The Q-network of RL is used to build a terminal cost function to dynamically adjust the scale of the prediction horizon, which improves the speed of convergence while maintaining exploration of LMPC. Experimental testing scenarios are setup with considering different driving behaviors of surrounding vehicles to validate the performance of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that the LMPC can stably and flexibly plan the motion behavior of AVs, achieving a planning accuracy of 99.31%, which has the potential for practical application. IEEE
