Dynamic and Quasi-Static Propagation of Compaction Waves in a Low-Density Epoxy Foam

We conducted dynamic and quasi-static compression experiments with low-density (ρ = 120 kg/m³) epoxy foam specimens. The specimens had a 10.0-mm-square cross-section and a length of 19.3 mm. Dynamic experiments were conducted with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), and the quasi-static experiments were conducted with a hydraulic load frame device (MTS-810). In both cases, the specimens were loaded from one end at a constant velocity. Equally spaced grid lines were marked on the specimens to monitor the deformation history. Digital images taken at equally spaced time intervals gave the positions of each grid line. These images showed that a constant end-face velocity V produced a compaction wave front that traveled at a constant velocity C in both dynamic and quasi-static experiments. We described these results with a shockwave analysis that used a locking solid material model.

基于相对即时密度的泡沫铝材料力学性能研究

通过对圆柱形泡沫铝试件进行静态压缩和冲击实验，考察了泡沫铝的初始密度、孔径和尺寸等因素对材料应力应变关系的影响，研究了基于相对即时密度的泡沫铝材料的塑性行为。实验所用泡沫铝试件包含四种尺寸，三种孔径及多种初始密度。实验结果表明，初始密度对泡沫铝的应力应变关系有着显著的影响，而其他因素，如孔径、试件尺寸等的影响较小。基于实验结果，提出了一种新的泡沫铝材料力学性能的描述方法，即用材料的相对即时密度与应力的关系来描述泡沫铝材料的塑性行为。该关系适用于静态和动态加载情况，只是两种情况下的参数不同。基于该方法，发现泡沫铝的塑性行为可以用单一的应力一相对即时密度关系描述，这一关系甚至不依赖于材料的初始密度，这将使泡沫铝材料塑性行为的描述大大简化。

泡沫铝合金填充圆管三点弯曲实验研究

用实验方法研究了三种不同管壁厚度、两种跨径的泡沫铝合金填充圆管的三点弯曲力学性能,得到了泡沫铝合金填充管结构承载过程中的三种变形模式,即压入、压入弯曲和管壁下缘拉裂破坏。给出了空管和泡沫铝合金填充管的载荷位移曲线,并进行了比较。实验发现泡沫铝合金填充管结构的承载能力随泡沫铝合金密度的增大而增大,但破坏应变则随之减小。结构承载力的相对提高量随着管壁厚度的减小和跨径的增大而增大。此外,分析了泡沫铝合金提高填充管结构承载能力的机理。泡沫铝合金填充使管壁压入量和管截面抗弯刚度的损失显著减小,从而提高了结构的抗弯能力。     

Experimental Validation of the Temperature-Resistant and Salt-Tolerant Xanthan Enhanced Foam for Enhancing Oil Recovery

Xanthan enhanced foam (XGF) is a newly developed chemical agent for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoirs. In this paper, laboratory experiments were performed to characterize the morphology and foam properties of XGF, to study its performance under different temperature and different salinity conditions, respectively. Based on simulate reservoir formation conditions of Xidaliya field, a series of research on XGF were conducted. The experimental results showed that the scanning electron microscopy of XGF reflected a more viscoelastic and stable nature of the foam system. High temperature had a great adverse impact upon the stability of XGF, and the increase of salinity in the solution helped to improve the stability of foam. The foam stability increased remarkably when XG4 is added, and an increase in ambient pressure made enhancement of foam stability became more noticeable. In the presence of crude oil, Xanthan could enhance the stability of emulsions and was more favorable to stabilize foam. XG4 enhanced foam had dramatic properties for mobility controlling and oil displacement in the porous media.     

CFD Simulation of Rheological Model Effect on Cuttings Transport

Foam, as a non-Newtonian fluid, plays an important role in the underbalanced drilling technique in oil field development. The rheological properties of drilling fluids, such as foam, have a direct effect on flow characteristics and hydraulic performance. Two rheological models—the Herschel–Bulkley model and power law—were fitted to two foam systems in this study. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the effect of the rheological models on solid–liquid (cuttings transport) hydraulics in concentric and eccentric annulus during the foam drilling operation. The simulation results are compared to the experimental data from previous studies. The results of CFD using the power law model are in good agreement with experimental results in horizontal annulus with respect to the Herschel–Bulkley model with relative error less than 8%. Thus, for CFD cuttings transport for simulations in inclined and horizontal annulus, it is best to use the power law's rheological model parameters.     

Retention profile of Fe,Mn and Cu onto chemically treated polyurethane with carbon disulfide

Dithiocarbamate modified polyurethane foam (DTC-PUF) was synthesized as a new solid-phase extraction sorbent for the preconcentration and determination of Fe(II), Mn(II) and Cu(II) in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Maximum extraction of the elements was achieved at pH 5–7 and flow rate 3 mL min^?1. Quantitative desorption was achieved by 10 mL from 1.0 mol L^?1 HCl solution. The capacity of the sorbent was 149.2 ± 0.5, 237.5 ± 0.2, 200.2 ± 0.1 μg g^?1 and the limit of detection was of 0.015, 0.015 and 0.012 μg mL^?1for Fe(II), Mn(II) and Cu(II), respectively. A preconcentration factor of 100 was obtained for all elements. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of the tested elements in water (tap and lake) and plant (spinach and parsley leaves) samples and showed good recovery values from 98 to 111% with corresponding RSD values ranged from 0.6 to 8.6%.     

Preparation,characterization and applications of polyurethane foam functionalized with resorcinol for quantitative separation and determination of silver(I) and mercury(II) from tap and wastewater

A stable chelating resin matrix was prepared by covalently linking resorcinol with polyurethane foam matrix through a –N=N– group. Preconcentration and determination of trace Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺ ions from samples of different origin, using Res-PUF, were studied. Various conditions influencing the sorption of these metal ions onto Res-PUF were optimized. The kinetics of sorption of the Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺ by Res-PUF were found to be fast, reached equilibrium in few minutes (5–10?min) and followed a first-order rate equation with an overall rate constant k in 0.102 and 0.267/min, respectively. Study of the variation of the sorption of the tested metal ions with temperature yielded average values for ΔG, ΔH and ΔS of ?3.94, ?22.02 and ?58.37, respectively. The mean free sorption energy (E) computed from the Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm was found to be equal to 8.91 kJ/mol, which reflects the chelation sorption process. The capacities of the foam material were 0.15 and 0.07?mmol/g for Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺, respectively. Preconcentration factors of?>?50 were achieved (RSD?≈?5.99). The proposed preconcentration procedure was applied successfully to the determination of trace metal ions in natural and wastewater samples.
