Cryogen spray is an effective cooling technique for the laser treatment of port wine stain (PWS), which can protect the epidermis from the thermal injuries safely. However, cryogen R134a cannot supply enough cooling capacity for the laser surgery in patients with darker skin because of the absorption of laser energy by melanin. Cryogen R404a are expected to protect the darker skin well because of its lower boiling point. A theoretical model is proposed to describe the evaporation process of single droplet and its validation is confirmed by the agreement between numerical simulation with experimental result. With this model, the cooling effect of R404a droplet is compared with R134a droplet and it is found that R404a droplet can reach lower temperature. Then the influences of initial diameter and ambient mass faction of cryogen on the evaporation characteristics of R404a droplet are analyzed and the result is useful to guide the cryogen spray cooling for laser therapy of PWS patients with darker skin.

In order to reduce the complexity of machine construction and improve the mechanical efficiency, high speed rotation machineries usually implement self-acting gas bearings to substitute the traditional oil-lubricated bearings. This paper presents test results of a gas thrust bearing with viscoelastic support which is designed for high speed turbo-machinery. The gas bearing, which belongs to compliant foil bearings, consists of a top thin metal foil and a bottom thin rubber foil. Static and stability experiments are conducted on a high speed gas turbine test rig. The static results indicate that the structural stiffness of test bearing generally increases with the increase in axial load and the decrease in thickness of bottom foil. In the rotation tests, rotor runs stably with small vibration amplitude, which is dominant in waterfall plot during whole speed up procedure. It shows that test bearing has preferable stability characteristics for high speed gas turbines.

Summary form only given. In this paper, the surface wettability and surface structure of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) treated with remote oxygen plasma are studied. The contact angles of the samples are measured and the critical surface tensions (gamma c ) are determined on the basis of the Zisman's plots. Then the variation of contact angle to water (thetas H2O ) and the gamma c are as the functions of the sample positions, which are at the different distance from the center of oxygen plasma active discharge zone. Since the better surface wettability can be obtained at 0 cm and 40 cm from the center of oxygen plasma active discharge zone, respectively, the variation of thetas H2O and are farther as the functions of the plasma treatment time. Furthermore, the values of dispersion force gamma s d , dipole force gamma s p and hydrogen bonding force gamma s h to the surface free energy gamma s of treated PTFE are evaluated by the extended Fowkes equation. The analysis is carried out between the distribution of reactive species in remote oxygen plasma and the surface free energy as well as surface wettability. All the results show that the surface wettability of PTFE treated with oxygen plasma is only determined by the value of polar force (gamma s p + gamma s h ), especially the gamma s h . A mixed atmosphere constituted by all reactive species or super pure and high free radicals concentration in remote oxygen plasma are both propitious to the increasing of polar force (gamma s p + gamma s h ), but the surface free energy is influenced mainly by the concentration of charged particles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates that the C-F bonds on the PTFE surface are broken by the oxygen plasma treatment, and then the polar functional groups of C-O and C=0 are introduced effectively, the surface wettability increases.

Experiments were carried out to study the characteristics of heat transfer on a downward-facing heated surface with porous media in narrow horizontal gap at atmosphere pressure using water as working fluid. The boiling curves were obtained under different conditions. The heat transfer increases significantly with porous media in the gap especially under boiling condition. The heat transfer in narrow horizontal gap can be enhanced by increasing the gap size and by using porous media with high thermal conductivity and appropriate porosity. Based on the mechanism of heat transfer in porous media, the correlations for natural convection and nucleate boiling were proposed to predict the heat transfer under the present condition.

In this paper, the experimental study on the off-design performance and dynamic response of an aircraft environmental control system (ECS) was presented. A bootstrap air cycle refrigeration system with high-pressure water separation was employed in the ECS. Both the static test and the dynamic test were conducted on the ECS. The performance of the key components including precooler, recuperator, compressor, and turbine was investigated. The test results show the performance of the tested ECS can meet the requirements of design. However, some parameters including outlet pressure, turbine efficiency, and rotational speed might vary obviously when the operation conditions changed. The outlet humidity ratio and outlet temperature might also fluctuate largely during the start-up process. It is necessary to take into account the off-design performance and the transient performance in the design of ECS.

A series of chemical reactions happen in the coal gasifier and as a result, high temperature syngas is obtained which contains a lot of solid granules. The high-temperature syngas must be cooled, because it can not be utilized directly. The opposed water spray cooling is not only effective, but also could dedust the syngas. In the present study, the CFD technique is used to investigate the effect of the opposed spray cooling in a gasifier. The Euler-Lagrange method is applied to deal with the syngas and the water droplets respectively. A non-dimensional parameter Temperature Non-uniform Factor (TNF) is defined to confirm the height of the cooling section. The simulated results match the designed data well. If water droplets with small diameters are used, the single-stage water spray cooling is more economic than the two-stage water spray cooling.

Turbulent mixing layer flow with 200 mg/kg polymer additives was measured by PIV and compared with pure water cause. The velocity ratio between high and low speed is 4:1 and the velocity difference ranges from 0.25 m/s to 1.25 m/s. It is showed that large vortex structures exist in flow field with/without polymer addictives, but the coherent structure is much clearer and the large eddy will roll up earlier when polymer is added. Similar with pure water case, the Reynolds stress is decreasing and the vorticity is increasing with increasing the velocity difference. However, the width and range of Reynolds shear stress and vorticity are wider and larger.
