Two-phase flow distributors for fuel cell flow channels

All existing proton exchange membrane （PEM） fuel cell gas flow fields have been designed on the basis of single-phase gas flow distribution. The presence of liquid water in the flow causes non-uniform gas distribution, leading to poor cell performance. This paper demonstrates that a gas flow restrictor/distributor, as is commonly used in two-phase flow to stabilize multiphase transport lines and multiphase reactors, can improve the gas flow distribution by significantly reducing gas real-distribution caused by either non-uniform water formation in parallel flow channels or flow instability associated with negative-slope pressure drop characteristic of two-phase horizontal flow systems.     

A new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference detection for signal waveform modulation multi-level discs

The sub-land/sub-pit affects the characteristic of the tracking error signal which is generated by the conventional differential phase detection (DPD) method in the signal waveform modulation multi-level (SWML) read-only disc. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference. Based on the diffraction theory, the amplitude difference is proportional to the tracking error and is feasible to be used for obtaining the off-track information. The experimental system of the amplitude difference detection method is developed. The experimental results show that the tracking error signal derived from the new method has better performance in uniformity and signal-to-noise ratio than that derived from the conventional DPD method in the SWML read-only disc.

Magnetic moment collapse induced by high-pressure in semi-borides TM2B (TM = Fe,Co). A first-principles study

The high-pressure effects are investigated on the structure, magnetic phase transition, and anisotropic elastic properties of the 3d transition-metal semi-borides TM₂B (TM?=?Fe, Co) by using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). At equilibrium spin polarization, calculations show that the Fe₂B and Co₂B compounds are ferromagnetic (FM). In the applied pressure range from 0 to 90?GPa, the magnetic moment of Fe₂B and Co₂B slowly decreases and then abruptly drops to zero at 85?GPa, indicating a state transition from the ferromagnetic to the nonmagnetic (NM) state (a first-order quantum phase transition). The collapse of the magnetic moment is accompanied by an abrupt change in the lattice parameters and elastic constants. In addition to this phenomenon, the density of states (DOS), and anisotropic elastic properties are presented at 0?GPa and at the critical transition pressure. Furthermore, I have plotted the three-dimensional (3D) surfaces and planar contours for the Young and bulk moduli of the compounds at several crystallographic planes, ((100) and (001)) to reveal their elastic anisotropy. On the basis of anisotropic elastic properties, I have predicted the easy and hard axes of magnetization for the TM₂B compounds.

压强是工业生产过程中的一个重要参数,其准确测量是过程控制的关键。气体分子光谱线型和线宽取决于分子间相互作用和温度、气压等因素,利用窄线宽气体吸收光谱的压力展宽效应,可通过高分辨地测量气体吸收谱线得到压强信息,实现压力计校准。提出了一种基于光腔衰荡光谱技术和气体吸收谱线压力展宽效应的压力计校准方法。采用5.2 μm可调谐量子级联激光器,基于连续光腔衰荡光谱技术建立了压力计校准实验装置。室温下,测量水汽在1 877 cm-1附近的一吸收谱线,线宽为0.084 21 cm-1,重复性测量误差小于1.53×10-4 cm-1,对应的压强大小为98.12 kPa,检测灵敏度优于0.18 kPa,与高精度压力计读数98.14 kPa一致。利用测试谱线线宽与压强的关系得到压力展宽系数(0.087 12±0.000 965) cm-1·atm-1,与HITARN数据库参考值0.087 1 cm-1·atm-1一致。实验校准了一小量程压力计。结果表明基于光腔衰荡光谱的高分辨吸收谱线测量在压强检测和压力计校准领域具有很好的应用前景。     

Axisymmetric deformations of circular rings made of linear and Neo-Hookean materials under internal and external pressure: A benchmark for finite element codes

The axisymmetric deformations of thick circular rings are investigated. Four materials are explored: linear material, incompressible Neo-Hookean material and Ogden's and Bower's forms of compressible Neo-Hookean material. Radial distributed forces and a displacement-dependent pressure are the external loads. This problem is relatively simple and allows analytical, or semi-analytical, solution; therefore it has been chosen as a benchmark to test commercial finite element software for various material laws at large strains. The solutions obtained with commercial finite element software are almost identical to the present semi-analytical ones, except for the linear material, for which commercial finite element programs give incorrect results.     

A method to recover water-wave profiles from pressure measurements

An operational formulation is proposed for reconstructing a time series of water surface displacement from waves using measurements of pressure. The approach is based on the fully nonlinear formulation for pressure below traveling-wave solutions of Euler’s equations developed by Oliveras, Vasan, Deconinck and Henderson. Its validity is tested using experiments in which both the pressure and the surface displacement are measured. The experiments include a wave system that is Galilean invariant – cnoidal waves, and wave systems that are not – reflected cnoidal waves and wave groups. We find that since the proposed formulation is nonlinear, it reproduces the amplitude spectrum of the measured surface displacements better than the hydrostatic model and better than the linear model that takes into account the pressure response factor due to small amplitude waves (the transfer function). Both the proposed formula and the transfer function reconstruct the surface reasonably well, with the proposed formula’s being about 5% more accurate.

The analysis of unsteady flow structure and low frequency pressure pulsations in the high-head Francis turbines

The paper presents results of numerical simulation of unsteady three-dimensional flow in the two high-head hydraulic turbines. The numerical technique for calculating of low-frequency pressure pulsations in a hydraulic turbine is based on the DES turbulence model and the approach of rotated reference frame. The paper also presents the analysis of the flow structure behind the runner of the turbines, as well as shows the effect of the flow structure on the frequency and intensity of non-stationary processes in the turbines. Besides, the behavior of the pulsations in the hydraulic turbines was defined. Comparison of the calculation results with the experimental data has shown close agreement between theory and experiment.
