An experimental study has been performed to investigate pool water instantaneous flash evaporation in a rectangle chamber. The water level was at 40 mm, 60 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm. Initial conditions of the liquid varied from 55 to 88C temperature and 3 to 35C superheat. Visualization of the phenomenon using a CCD camera lets us firstly point out the influence of the initial conditions on the flashing phenomenon. The experimental results show that at a constant initial water temperature, the greater the superheat approaches, the more quickly the liquid temperature will decrease. At a constant superheat, the initial water temperature has little influence on the decrease rate of the water temperature. The higher the water level will be, the slower the water temperature will decrease as well as the higher the water temperature will be when the flashing is finished. Experimental study allows us to correlate the water temperature with the initial water temperature and the superheat while flashing is going.

The conversion of nitrogenous gas products during coal pyrolysis is investigated in a drop tube reactor. Four raw coals and two demineralized coals have been used for pyrolysis at 500°C, 700°C, 900°C and 1100°C. The results indicate that the yields of N 2 and NO precursors, such as HCN and NH 3 , increase with increasing temperature. Coal type has significant effect on the yield of nitrogenous gas products. For lower rank coal, the conversion of fuel nitrogen is higher. Majority of fuel nitrogen in high rank coals is built into condensed aromatic structures to form Char-N. The mineral matters in coal can promote the conversion of fuel nitrogen to N 2 , but they can also suppress the conversion of fuel nitrogen to HCN and NH 3 .

With the rapid development of computer and optical technique, as a powerful measuring method in hydrodynamics, flow visualization technique is able to get much flow field information in practical engineering. It also has an important meaning to projects and environmental areas. The image processing is the key to flow visualization for gaining flow field information. In terms of the PIV principles, the algorithm of PIV based on Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is studied, and the image mosaic program based on genetic algorithm has been compiled. The flow field of seabuckthorn flexible dam has been calculated and analyzed by using those methods as above-mentioned, and in the meanwhile, the application of flow visualization technique to measure the outdoor flow field has been studied exploringly, which proves that it is feasible to apply this technique to measure the large-scale outdoor flow field.

In this article, comprehensive comparisons are made between the SIMPLER and IDEAL algorithms for four application examples. It is found that the IDEAL algorithm is efficient and stable not only for the simple, low-Re/Ra or coarse-mesh flow cases, but also for the complex, high-Re/Ra or fine-mesh flow cases. For the low-Re/Ra, coarse-mesh flow cases, the ratio of CPU time of IDEAL to that of SIMPLER ranges from 0.029 to 0.7. For the high-Re/Ra, fine-mesh flow cases, the IDEAL algorithm can obtain convergent results but the SIMPLER algorithm cannot, even though the underrelaxation factors are adjusted.

Gasification is a clean technique that converts coal into syngas, which can be cleaned much more easily than the coal itself. The raw sysgas exiting the gasifier is usually at a very high temperature. To protect the rearward equipment, the raw syngas needs to be cooled to allow appropriate cleaning of particulates, ashes, and sulfur before it exits the gasifier. Cooling of the syngas can be performed by employing heat exchangers or direct spray cooling. This paper focuses on conducting a 3-D CFD parametric study to aid in the design of an effective water spray cooling deployment. The studied parameters include water droplet sizes (100400m) and water injection angles. The goal is to cool the syngas from 1550C to 800C using the shortest spray section. The gasifier is designed to produce methanol at a full load condition, so the amount of sprayed water is fixed to ensure the syngas composition meets the specifications for methanol production. The gasifier is steam-oxygen blown with dry coal feed using approximately 960 tons per day. The results reveal that smaller droplets are effective in reducing the cooling section length. Moreover, using three water injection angles show that inclining the spraying angle upward 45 degrees could shorten the effective cooling length. This study provides a guide for cutting the cost of manufacturing a gasifier cooling section.

Slug flow is a highly intermittent flow regime in which large bubble slugs flow alternately with liquid slugs at randomly fluctuating frequency. A one-dimensional model for the interfacial structure in bubble slug was developed based on mass and momentum conservation for bubble nose, body and tail as well as for a hydraulic jump at the rear of the bubble. The model can reproduce experimental results accurately. The results indicate that the interfacial structure is strongly dependent on the Froude number defined by gas/liquid mixture velocity, pipe inclination, and bubble length.

The circulation precooling of liquid rocket engine is a complicated heat transfer process. It is influenced by many factors, among which the return flow location is very important to the purpose of precooling. To investigate the effect of different return flow locations on the precooling of rocket engine, the one-dimensional homogeneous balance fluid dynamic model was set up. The change of pump body temperature in precooling process and the distributions of various parameters of cryogenic propulsion in the loop under steady state were analyzed using discretized method. The computational results were compared for the different return flow locations and the optimal point is found.

Considering the fact that proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has different impedance performances under different discharge currents, a PEM fuel cell with single serpentine flow field was investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the R (QR) equivalent circuit was used to calculate the circuit element parameters. The experimental results show that water in the fuel cell increases from insufficient to sufficient and then excessive with the increasing discharge current. Accordingly, the electrochemical reaction rate on the electrodes increases first and then decreases, thus the charge transfer resistance decreases and then increases. The impedance of PEM fuel cell increases obviously for high discharge currents due to the accessional impedance produced by double-layer effect, while the impedance reaches minimum at medium discharge current (5 A).
