In this work, the vapor pressure equation, saturated liquid density equation, saturated vapor density equation and Helmholtz equation of state for dimethyl ether are developed by genetic optimization algorithm combined with a weighted least-square fit of selected experimental data based on extensive collection of DME's experimental data. The average absolute deviation of vapor pressure equation, saturated liquid density equation and saturated vapor density equation is 0.50%, 0.38% and 0.55%, respectively. The uncertainty in density of the equation of state ranges from 0.1% in the liquid to 1% near the critical point.

Based on the 1-D & 2-D combined computational model, numerical optimizing analyses on the performance of the orifice type pulse tube refrigerator (OPTR) and double-inlet type pulse tube refrigerator (DPTR) were carried out. The evolvements process of the flow field in the OPTR and DPTR were examined. The results show that in the compressor expansion process the gas separation phenomenon occurs in the pulse tube, and in the compression process, there exists the gas aggregation phenomenon. The gas velocities in the separation and aggregation interfaces are zero, so the interface is called zero interface. In a period, the zero interface will move from one end of the pulse tube to the other end, which is called zero interface effect. The zero interface effect is an important factor for the performance enhancement of the PTR. The longer the time of the zero interface effect existing in a period, the better the PTR performance. Then based on the simulation results, the mechanism analysis for the existing of zero interface effect was performed. The results show that the introduction of the orifice valve leads to the formation of zero interface effect and the introduction of the double-inlet valve could augment the zero interface effect. For the OPTR, the time of the zero interface existing is about 1/6 period and for the DPTR the existing time of the zero interface is about 1/2 period.

An experimental study has been performed to investigate pool water instantaneous flash evaporation in a rectangle chamber. Some key parameters such as superheat, initial water temperature and water level have been studied. The water level was at 40 mm, 60 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm. Initial conditions of the liquid varied from 36C to 88C temperature and 2.1C to 48C superheat. The experimental results showed that the initial water temperature, the superheat and the water level are the key parameters. The experimental results showed that the greater the superheat and the higher the initial water level approaches, the longer the flashing will persist. Under a constant superheat, the initial water temperature has little influence on duration of flashing. Experimental study allows us to correlate the flashing duration time with the superheat and the initial water level as well as the initial water temperature.

An algorithm for bubble packing method based unstructured grid generation of a curved-edge polygon is developed to avoid bubble departure from a curved boundary during dynamic bubble movement. The curve boundary is mapped into a straight line to allow bubble adding and moving. Then the bubble position is mapped into the curve boundary by the arc-length parameterization method. Combined with conventional methods, a new method to judge a point in a given curved-edge polygon is proposed. Local grid refinement is realized by adding different size bubbles to the real and artificial vertices and setting the bubble's radius by the weighted average method. Moreover, the SIMPLE algorithm on unstructured collocated grid systems is developed and applied to simulate the lid-driven flow in a polar cavity. The numerical simulation results agree well with the experimental data under different Reynolds numbers.

Based on the wavelet analysis theory of signal singularity detection, the critical heat flux (CHF) and minimum film boiling starting point (qmin) of boiling curves can be detected and analyzed by using the wavelet multi-resolution analysis. To predict the CHF in engineering, empirical relations were obtained based on genetic algorithm. The results of wavelet detection and genetic algorithm prediction are consistent with experimental data very well.

A local refinement method of unstructured grid generated by bubble packing method (BPM) is proposed. In the present method, different size bubbles are added to the real and artificial vertices of the domain and bubble information of these vertices is transferred to the inner nodes of the domain by the Shepard interpolation method. Moreover, a method to control the population of bubbles is presented to add bubbles in large gap between bubbles and remove bubbles to eliminate overlapping so that the generation of skinny triangles is avoided and the grid quality is clearly improved. Furthermore, the improved BPM is applied to generate unstructured grid with local refinement near boundary for square domain to simulate the lid-driven flow in a square cavity with Re=1 000. The numerical result agrees well with the benchmark solution, indicating that the improved BPM is effective to the computation of fluid flow and heat transfer.

In present paper, the effect of velocity ratio on plane mixing layer is experimentally investigated with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The velocity ratio between low- and high-speed side are 0.25, 0.33 and 0.50, respectively. The Reynolds number based on the velocity difference of two streams and hydraulic diameter of the channel ranges from 15840~132000. The results indicate that the maximum mean Reynolds stress on the same cross section increases with Reynolds number increasing but decreases with velocity ratio increasing at the equal Reynolds number. The mean vorticity increases with Reynolds number increasing on the same cross-section and increases with the velocity ratio increasing at the equal Reynolds number. The maximum non-dimensional mean vorticity decreases according to an exponential law along the stream-wise direction, and the decreasing speed of maximum mean vorticity increases with the velocity ratio increasing.
