With the rapid development of computer and optical technique, as a powerful measuring method in hydrodynamics, flow visualization technique is able to get much flow field information in practical engineering. It also has an important meaning to projects and environmental areas. The image processing is the key to flow visualization for gaining flow field information. In terms of the PIV principles, the algorithm of PIV based on Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is studied, and the image mosaic program based on genetic algorithm has been compiled. The flow field of seabuckthorn flexible dam has been calculated and analyzed by using those methods as above-mentioned, and in the meanwhile, the application of flow visualization technique to measure the outdoor flow field has been studied exploringly, which proves that it is feasible to apply this technique to measure the large-scale outdoor flow field.

In this article, comprehensive comparisons are made between the SIMPLER and IDEAL algorithms for four application examples. It is found that the IDEAL algorithm is efficient and stable not only for the simple, low-Re/Ra or coarse-mesh flow cases, but also for the complex, high-Re/Ra or fine-mesh flow cases. For the low-Re/Ra, coarse-mesh flow cases, the ratio of CPU time of IDEAL to that of SIMPLER ranges from 0.029 to 0.7. For the high-Re/Ra, fine-mesh flow cases, the IDEAL algorithm can obtain convergent results but the SIMPLER algorithm cannot, even though the underrelaxation factors are adjusted.

Slug flow is a highly intermittent flow regime in which large bubble slugs flow alternately with liquid slugs at randomly fluctuating frequency. A one-dimensional model for the interfacial structure in bubble slug was developed based on mass and momentum conservation for bubble nose, body and tail as well as for a hydraulic jump at the rear of the bubble. The model can reproduce experimental results accurately. The results indicate that the interfacial structure is strongly dependent on the Froude number defined by gas/liquid mixture velocity, pipe inclination, and bubble length.

Gasification is a clean technique that converts coal into syngas, which can be cleaned much more easily than the coal itself. The raw sysgas exiting the gasifier is usually at a very high temperature. To protect the rearward equipment, the raw syngas needs to be cooled to allow appropriate cleaning of particulates, ashes, and sulfur before it exits the gasifier. Cooling of the syngas can be performed by employing heat exchangers or direct spray cooling. This paper focuses on conducting a 3-D CFD parametric study to aid in the design of an effective water spray cooling deployment. The studied parameters include water droplet sizes (100400m) and water injection angles. The goal is to cool the syngas from 1550C to 800C using the shortest spray section. The gasifier is designed to produce methanol at a full load condition, so the amount of sprayed water is fixed to ensure the syngas composition meets the specifications for methanol production. The gasifier is steam-oxygen blown with dry coal feed using approximately 960 tons per day. The results reveal that smaller droplets are effective in reducing the cooling section length. Moreover, using three water injection angles show that inclining the spraying angle upward 45 degrees could shorten the effective cooling length. This study provides a guide for cutting the cost of manufacturing a gasifier cooling section.

Considering the fact that proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has different impedance performances under different discharge currents, a PEM fuel cell with single serpentine flow field was investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the R (QR) equivalent circuit was used to calculate the circuit element parameters. The experimental results show that water in the fuel cell increases from insufficient to sufficient and then excessive with the increasing discharge current. Accordingly, the electrochemical reaction rate on the electrodes increases first and then decreases, thus the charge transfer resistance decreases and then increases. The impedance of PEM fuel cell increases obviously for high discharge currents due to the accessional impedance produced by double-layer effect, while the impedance reaches minimum at medium discharge current (5 A).

The molten salt reactor (MSR), which is one of the generation IV reactors, can meet the demand of transmutation and breeding. The thermodynamic properties of the molten salt system like LiF-NaF-BeF2 influence the design and construction of the fuel salt and coolant in the MSR for the new generation. In this paper, the equation of state of the ternary system 15%LiF-58%NaF-27%BeF2, over the temperature range from 873.15 to 1 073.15 K at one atmosphere pressure, is described using a modified Peng-Robinson (PR) equation. The densities of the ternary system and its components are estimated by this equation directly, and compared with the experimental data. Based on the equation of state, the other thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, entropyand heat capacity at constant pressure are estimated by the residual function method and the fugacity coefficient method respectively. The densities calculated by PR equation are highly in agr eement with the experimental data, and the enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity evaluated by the two different methods are consistent with each other. It can be concluded that the modified PR equation can be applied to evaluate the density of the molten salt system, and it is recommended that it be used as the basis to estimate the enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity of the molten salt system.
