Experimental study of air natural convection in horizontally-positioned copper metallic foams with open cells was conducted. Temperature distributions on the heating surface were tested under different heating power for foam samples having different porosities and pore densities. The effects of porosity and pore density on the total thermal resistance of the foam sample were quantified. It is found that the porous surface can enhance the natural convection and reduce the thermal resistance by about 20% in comparison with a smooth surface. The surface area density and mass flow rate in natural convection are affected by porosity and pore density simultaneously. When the porosity is relative small (Ε = 90%), there exits a critical value of the Gr number (turning point) for two pore densities (10ppi and 40ppi). When the Gr number is less than this critical value, the foam with a higher pore density has the lower total thermal resistance, whereas when the Gr number exceeds the turning point value, the opposite holds. If the porosity is increased to Ε = 95%, the foam with a higher pore density has the lower thermal resistance in the whole experimental range. When the porosity and pore density is the same, the foam with smaller size has the higher thermal resistance in the whole experimental range. If the size is relatively small (10010050mm), for the two pore densities studied (20ppi and 80ppi), there exits a critical value of the Gr number (turning point). The foam with a lower porosity(Ε = 90%) has the lower thermal resistance and the decrease is more obvious for the case of *** the size is relatively big(10010080mm),there exists a critical value of the Gr number (turning point) only for the case of 10ppi. When the Gr number is less than this critical value, the foam with a higher porosity (Ε = 95%) has the higher total thermal resistance, the opposite holds. While for the other two pore densities (20ppi and 40ppi), there is no turning point. The foam with a highe

Turbulent burning velocity and statistical flame front structure parameters of turbulent premixed CH4/H2/air flames diluted with CO2 were measured with OH-PLIF technique. Hydrogen fractions are up to 0.2 and CO2 dilution ratios are up to 0.1. The instantaneous flame front structure was detected using the OH-PLIF technique on a turbulent premixed Bunsen burner. Through image processing and statistic analysis, turbulent burning velocity ST and statistic quantitative parameters, i.e. flame surface density Σ and flame brush thickness δT were obtained. Results show that turbulent burning velocity ST normalized by laminar burning velocity SL decreases with CO2 dilution. Increased Markstein number LM and flame intrinsic instability li with CO2 dilution leads to the passive response of flame to turbulence wrinkling which resulting in less wrinkled flame front, smaller Σ, lower local burning velocity and ST/SL. Convex structure is more frequent than that of concave ones at normal pressure and the bias distribution is much weaker comparing to that of high pressure. The positive structure decreases while the negative structure increases slightly with CO2 dilution. This would be one of the mechanisms leading to the decrease of the effective contact surface between reaction zone and unburned mixture which resulting in the decrease of ST/SL with CO2 dilution.
Thickened flame (TF) model is one of the effective methods to simulate combustion phenomenon. Theoretically, it could be extended to multi-step chemical reaction mechanism. However, the results in the present work sho...

For the study of predicting ultrasonic attenuation of elastic, spherical mixing par- ticles in the liquid-solid two-phase system, the Monte Carlo method (MCM) is introduced, serving as a probability and statistics technique to evaluate the inside ultrasonic events during the ultrasound propagation. On the basis of ultrasonic scattering and aborption, the continuous ultrasonic waves are represented as discrete and independent phonons. By recording the scat- tering events, tracing the trajectory of a moving phonon and calculating the number of phonons that finally reach the receiving transducer, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient is obtained to be a frequence-dependent spectrum. Numerical investigations have been carried out to predict and compare the ultrasonic attenuation for a solid-liquid two-phase system with a single type particle. After verifing its feasibility, such a method is then appalied into mixing particle sys- tern, where the mixing iron particles and glass beads with various ratios are set as examples for the purpose of predicting ultrasonic attenuation for the monodisperse and polydisperse mixing particle systems. The results of MCM, the ECAH model, the Lloyd ~z Berry (LB) model and the Waterman model match well when the particle volume concentration is lower than 10%, corresponding to iron particles and glass beads respectively. In the case of two-phase system with mixing particles, it is shown that as the particle volume concentration increases to 10%, the variation of the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient with mixing ratio yields a nonlinear tendency. The physical properties of particles can also influence ultrasonic attenuation significantly.

Ignition delay times of the 1-pentene/O2/Ar mixtures and n-pentane/O2/Ar mixtures were measured behind the reflected shock wave at 10 atm, stoichiometric equivalence ratio, in the temperature range of 1100 K to 1580 K. Empirical correlations of the ignition delay time for 1-pentene and n-pentane were obtained through regression analysis. The simulations with the updated natural gas model show well agreement with the experimental data. Both the experimental and simulation results show a crossover in the ignition delay time of these two mixtures. Reaction pathways and sensitivity analysis are conducted to understand the oxidation process of 1-pentene and n-pentane. The chain branching reaction R1(H+O2O+OH) shows a strong promoting effect while the resonantly stablized allyl radical may be responsible for the longer ignition delay time of 1-pentene in the high temperature region.

The linear stability of liquid film flowing upward the inner surface of vertical cylinder under the action of the swirling gas core flow is investigated taking exactly the centrifugal force and curvature of the cylinder into account. Swirl has been considered by superposing a circular movement on the annular flow. The theoretical model of the stability of interface to small perturbation is established by analyzing the normal force balance condition at the wavy interface. The characteristic equation is solved and the stability criterion is obtained. The stability characteristics of neutral, growing and damped modes are presented showing the influences of swirl intensity, relative motion of gas-liquid flow, and the surface tension force. The modeling results indicate that the swirling of the gas phase stabilizes the film flow while the curvature of the cylinder destabilizes it. For strong swirling annular flow, it is found that there is a small influence of surface tension on the stability of interface because the stabilizing centrifugal force is dominant on this condition. The neutral wavelength is found to be very sensitive to the values of swirl intensity and cylinder radius when gas-liquid relative movement is small. However, when gas flow rate is large enough, there is no significant difference in its value.
