Within the range of pressures from 23 to 30 MPa, mass velocities from 600 to 1200 kg/(m 2 s), and heat fluxes from 200 to 600 kW/m 2 , experiments have been performed for an investigation on heat transfer to supercritical water in inclined upward smooth tubes with an inner diameter of 26 mm and an inclined angle of 20° from the horizon. The results indicated that heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water are not uniform along the circumference of the inclined tube. An increase in the mass velocity of the working fluid can decrease and even eliminate the non-uniformity. Properties of supercritical fluid acutely vary with the temperature near the pseudocritical point. While the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux exceeded 2.16 kg/(kWs), heat transfer enhancement occurred near the pseudocritical point;conversely, heat transfer deterioration occurred while the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux was lower than 2.16 kg/(kWs). As the pressure increased far from the critical pressure, the amount of deterioration decreased. Correlations of heat transfer coefficients of the forced-convection heat transfer on the top and bottom of the tube have been provided, and can be used to predict heat transfer coefficient of spirally water wall in supercritical boilers.

Nanosize WS2 sensitized mesoporous TiO2 was prepared to extend the adsorption of the wide band gap TiO2 into visible light region. Compared with nonporous particle TiO2 substrate, it was found that the existence of mesopore is important for larger amount of WS 2 loading and inhibition of the light-induced detachment of WS 2 particles from the TiO2 substrate during photocatalytic reaction, which leads to higher photocatalytic activity and stability. We also found that the rate-determining step for photocatalytic hydrogen production is the transfer of electrons from TiO2 substrate to H+ in solution, when the recombination between electrons and holes within TiO 2 could be neglected. In this case, deposition of Pt at the surface of semiconductor is indispensable for efficient hydrogen production.

Reactive distillation processes for synthesis of ethylene glycol (EG) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) were modeled with the simulation package ASPEN PLUS. The input multiplicity and output multiplicity were discussed with the method of sensitivity analysis for both cases. In EG production process, steady state multiplicities were studied in terms of effective liquid holdup volume and boil-up ratio. In ETBE synthesis process, the user kinetic subroutine was supplied into ASPEN PLUS firstly, and then the composition, temperature and reaction-rate profiles within the reactive distillation column were presented in detail. A set of stable solution branches based on distinct initial guesses for a range of boil-up ratio were found in EG synthesis. Input multiplicities were observed for a range of reboiler duty at several values of reflux ratio for ETBE synthesis process. These results can be used to avoid excessive energy consumption and achieve optimum design of reactive distillation column.

The production of hydrogen by photocatalytic decomposition of water using zinc tetrathiomolybdate catalyst was studied. Zinc tetrathiomolybdate catalyst was prepared by coprecipitation and hydrothermal method based on ZnSO 4 and self-prepared [NH4]2MoS4 crystal. It was characterized by XRD, XRF, BET and UV-Vis spectra. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts were ascertained by the production of hydrogen in an aqueous Na2S-Na2SO3 solution under the ultraviolet and visible light irradiation. It was observed that the photocatalysts showed the visible-light photocatalytic activity, and the ZnMoS4 photocatalyst prepared under hydrothermal condition for about 24h had the highest activity.

The upward multiphase cross flow and heat transfer in the vertical tube may occur in oil production and chemical facilities. In this study, the local flow patterns of an upward gas-water two phase cross flow in a vertical tube with a horizontal rod have been investigated with an optical probe and the digital high speed video system. The local flow patterns are defined as the bubble, slug, churn and annular flow patterns. Optical probe signals are ana- lyzed in terms of probability density function, and it is proved that the local flow patterns can be recognized by this method. The transition mechanisms between the different flow patterns have been analyzed and the corresponding transitional models are proposed. Finally, local flow pattern maps of the upward gas-water two-phase flow in the vertical tube with a horizontal rod are constructed.

Because of the practical importance of two-phase instabilities, substantial efforts have been made to date to understand the physical phenomena governing such instabilities and to develop computational tools to model the dynamics. The purpose of this study is to present a numerical model for the analysis of flow-induced instabilities in forced-convection steam generator. The model is based on the assumption of homogeneous two-phase flow and thermodynamic equilibrium of the phases. The thermal capacity of the heater wall has been included in the analysis. The model is used to analyze the flow instabilities in the steam generator and to study the effects of system pressure, mass flux, inlet temperature and inlet/outlet restriction, gap size, the ratio of do /di, and the ratio of qi/qo on the system behavior.

Prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in annular flow is important for the safety of once- through steam generator and the reactor core under accident conditions. The dryout in annular flow occurs at the point where the film is depleted due to entrainment, deposition, and evaporation. The film thickness, film mass flow rate along axial distribution, and CHF are calculated in vertical upward round tube on the basis of a separated flow model of annular flow. The theoretical CHF values are higher than those derived from experimental data, with error being within 30%.

This article presents a theoretical investigation on the steady-state natural circulation characteristics of a new type of pressurized water reactor. Through numerically solving the one-dimensional steady-state single-phase conservative equations for the primary circuit and the steady-state two-phase drift-flux conservative equations for the secondary side of the steam generator, the natural circulation characteristics were studied. On the basis of the preliminary calculation analysis, it was found that natural circulation mass flow rate was proportional to the exponential function of the power and that the value of the exponent is related to the operating conditions of the secondary side of the steam generator. The higher the outlet pressure of the secondary side of the steam generator, the higher the primary natural circulation mass flow rate. The larger height difference between the core center and the steam generator center is favorable for the heat removal capacity of the natural circulation.

With the novel and simple current distribution measurement gasket developed by MPFL, the performance of a single PEM fuel cell with serpentine flow field was investigated without modifying any of its components. Inhomogeneous current distributions were demonstrated clearly by the measurement results. Current distribution at different cell operating parameters, including reactant gas flow rate, reactant gas humidification temperature and cell operating temperature, were measured and the effects of such parameters were analyzed. Reactant gas flow rate exert effects on current distribution by influencing the reactant concentration distribution, while the critical effects of gas humidification and cell temperature is caused by their significant influence on water balance and water distribution in PEM fuel cell. To fully understand the combined effects of such factors, simultaneous measurement of current distribution, reactant distribution, temperature distribution and humidification distribution is necessary and will be helpful.

To describe the spatial tendency and complex relationship of geological structures, a digital modeling based on geographic information system and the visualization of hydroelectric engineering geology information are presented. The functions of information visual query, spatial cutting, section drawing, and coupled analysis with hydraulic structures are realized. The geologic model can match the attribute data with the shape data of geological structures, and organize the information for spatial query and analysis of the 3D model. With an application in Laxiwa hydroelectric project on the upriver of Huanghe River, the method provides a 3D parallel section view and query results of geoinformation, and 3D section views of geoinformation along axis of spillway tunnel, and along the 5th axis with underground structures, respectively.
