Properties of supercritical water will undergo drastic changes near the "pseudo critical" point which gives rise to a serious concern about flow instabilities under supercritical conditions. To investigate the fluid flow behaviors, experiments with different system pressures (near-critical and supercritical pressure) were conducted on the Xi'an Jiao tong University's (XJTU) supercritical water test facility. Large amplitudes of mass flow flux as well as inlet pressure were found in various operation conditions. Mechanism of this unusual flow instability behavior is discussed. The oscillation behavior occurring in the present work has also been compared with that under the subcritical pressures and parameters effects are also studied.

The corrugated packing is prone to break down easily, which can affect the tower efficiency substantially. It is the inner environment of the vacuum distillation tower including the temperature and chemical nature of fluid that lead to the packing damage. The theoretical analysis indicates that it is the inner material flow of vacuum distillation tower that leads to the vibration of packing, which can affect the corrosion fatigue of packing significantly. Meanwhile, the modal shape and inherent frequency of packing under prestress can be obtained by means of mathematical analysis. Based on the two kinds of analysis, the flow induced vibration and corrosion fatigue are accountable for the failure of packing.

Incorrect folding of proteins in the macromolecular crowding environment in living cells would cause cellular disasters. All cells have developed their structurally and functionally distinct classes of molecular chaperones to help normative proteins fold to their native structures, one of which is the most studied GroELIES complex. In the present article, large-scale all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out on rhodanese folding in a series of chaperonin mutants for 200ns to understand the mechanism therein. In accordance with experimental results, two factors have been identified to play a significant role, the geometrical confinement effect of the folding cavity and the charge effect of the inner surface of the cavity. Our analysis of the properties during simulation suggests that the GroEL/ES complex directly exerts force on the contacting residues of the substrate, thus assists substrate folding.

Gas-oil-water two-or three-phase flow is widely encountered in industry, such as petroleum chemical industry, bio-chemicals, food chemicals, and mineral engineering and energy projects. Two kinds of on-line measurement technique, which are double-ring conductance sensor and double-helical capacitance sensor, for water fraction in oil-water two-phase flow and gas-oil-water three-phase flow were developed in this paper. The calibration results shows that the responses of the two sensors are good enough as the variation of water fraction. And on the other hand, it is possible that the oil and the gas regard as one phase in gas-oil-water three-phase flow by using double-helical capacitance sensor, and the ratio between water and gas has no effect with the output signal. The range of water fraction which can be measured becomes bigger and bigger because of the using of new circuit. So the capacitance sensor is better enough to measure water fraction in the three phases flow. During dynamic experiment, because of phase inversion phenomenon between oil and water, the conductance sensor outputs poorly, however the capacitance sensor performs somewhat fine. The reason for the error using capacitance sensor is the edge effect of the capacitance. The experiment results show that the edge effect of the double-helical capacitance sensor causes that the output is smaller so that the measuring water fraction is a litter larger than the actual value. And when the variation of water fraction is above 10%, the edge effect of capacitance sensor can be almost neglected. On the contrary, when the variation of water fraction is below 10%, the edge effect is so lager than the results above that it cannot be ignored. Consequently, the double-helical capacitance probe is more suitable for measuring water fraction in slug flow and oil-water emulsion, in which the results agree better with static calibration than that in bubble flow.
