In present paper, a two‐dimensional numerical study on a standing‐wave thermoacoustic engine was performed with compressible SIMPLE algorithm based on a pressure‐correction method. First, the simulation model was developed, and the time‐dependent compressible thermoacoustic engine system was chosen through substantive numerical tests. Appropriate governing equations for mass, momentum and energy were introduced. Then, the computational results of the onset of the self‐excited oscillations across the entire evolution process and the acoustical characteristics of the pressure and velocity wave were presented and analyzed. In addition, the standing‐wave of the pressure and velocity along the center of the two stacks are investigated. The crucial nonlinear phenomenon that cannot be captured by the existing linear theory, like high harmonic frequencies, is also revealed in present paper. It is concluded that compressible SIMPLE algorithm could be employed in our future work to simulate and optimize thermoacoustic system. The present result is an important step toward development to predict the high‐amplitude thermoacoustic systems and optimize thermoacoustic engine performance.

The principal pressure drop in a subsea riser is generally the gravitational pressure drop component due to liquid holdup. Surfactant is a kind of Chemical compound related to flow improvement. Gas‐liquid two‐phase flow in subsea riser with zero and small liquid flow rates was simulated in two vertical tubes with diameters of 40 mm and 65 mm, respectively. Liquid holdup reduction of subsea riser was investigated with surfactant. The simulation was conducted at low pressure, using air as the gas phase and water as the liquid phase. Pressure drop was measured by using differential pressure transducer and holdup was obtained by trapping the liquid in the pipe section. Different trace amounts of surfactant were used in this vertical two‐phase flow system. The liquid holdups were measured at different surfactant concentrations and different gas‐liquid flow ratios. Liquid holdups with and without surfactant additives are compared and analyzed. How the foamer influences the two‐phase flow pattern was observed and the range of foamer concentration corresponding to the best holdup reduction was obtained.

The morphology of fuel nitrogen in coal and its fate during pyrolysis and the nitrogen species including N2, HCN and NH3 during coal pyrolysis and gasification have been investigated to clarify the evolution mechanism of fuel nitrogen in heat treatment process. Experimental results show that the morphology of coal nitrogen in the studied Chinese raw coals generally include pyrrolic nitrogen (N‐5), pyridinic nitrogen (N‐6), quaternary nitrogen (N‐Q) and nitrogen‐oxide (N‐X). Generally, nitrogen in char is transformed to volatile and more stable components during pyrolysis. Char‐N is the major source of NOx precursors during temperature programmed pyrolysis in 600–800° C. N‐5 and N‐X in char is converted to HCN first, and HCN is then hydrogenated to NH3. N‐Q in char is the main source of nitrogen gas. The major nitrogenous gas products during rapid coal pyrolysis are N2, HCN and NH3, amongst which N2 is dominant. The yields of N2 and NOx precursors, such as HCN and NH3, increase with increased pyrolysis temperature. The major gaseous nitrogenous products during coal gasification in steam include HCN, NH3 and N2. H2O is the main source of the groups containing hydrogen, which not only participates in the reaction as a gasification agent, but also has catalysis on the reaction.

The moving particle semi-implicit method (MPS) was used to simulate the typical free surface problem, 2D dam break problem, and the effect of initial particle configuration on the simulated results was analyzed. It is found that the reasonable results can not be achieved for too large or too small particle distance. The comparison of the results by MPS, SPH or VOF with the experimental data shows that the result by MPS is between those by VOF and by SPH. Without the consideration of viscosity, the result by MPS is closer to the experiment than that by VOF. However, the result by MPS with the consideration of viscosity may be similar to that by SPH.

Cerebral aneurysm, a local enlargement of an artery caused by weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery, has the high death rate and disability rate, and is a threat to public health. The forming mechanism of aneurysm is complex, which motivated many researchers to conduct studies in this field. The results indicated that increasing heart frequency can aggravate the oscillation of wall shear stress, and push The growth points of aneurysm along the aneurysm wall, thereby significantly affecting bthe growth and rupture mechanism of aneurysm. In addition, it is found that the curvature of the vessel is the key to induce the secondary vortex in the aneurysm; the secondary vortex increases the magnitude of WSS near the dome of aneurysm, which can cause the rupture of aneurysm dome. there is a linear relationship between the velocity of blood flow and the square root of hear frequency.

Gas is a clean energy resource in comparison with oil and coal. Liquid-loading problem is frequently encountered in the process of gas production. It would directly cause the production of gas wells decreasing, even off production. A number of deliquification techniques have been suggested for solving this kind of problem, but the available techniques are not yet widely applicable. Based on the analysis, the method of deliquification with atomizing nozzle in gas wells was put forward. The test bench was designed for studying the atomization of nozzles and the liquid entrainment of gas flow. The size distribution of atomized droplets was measured by Malvern laser grain size analyzer. The Sauter mean diameters of atomized droplets were analysed under different two-phase flow conditions. The results indicate that the designed nozzles have good atomization performances and show potential application for reducing liquid loading in gas wells.
