Heat Transfer from a Hot Moving Steel Plate by Air-Atomized Spray Impingement

Air-atomized spray cooling of a hot moving AISI 304 steel plate of 6 mm thickness has been investigated experimentally by varying water flow rate and plate velocity at a fixed nozzle-to-plate distance. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient is a non-linear function of surface temperature. The result shows that the cooling rate increases with an increase in the water flow rate. The highest cooling rate has been found for the static plate, whereas for a moving plate, an increasing cooling rate trend has been observed with increasing plate velocity.     

A nonlinear spring mechanism incorporating a bistable composite plate for vibration isolation

The High Static Low Dynamic Stiffness (HSLDS) concept is a design strategy for a nonlinear anti-vibration mount that seeks to increase isolation by lowering the natural frequency of the mount whilst maintaining the same static load bearing capacity. It has previously been proposed that an HSLDS mount could be implemented by connecting linear springs in parallel with the transverse flexure of a composite bistable plate — a plate that has two stable shapes between which it may snap. Using a bistable plate in this way will lead to lightweight and efficient designs of HSLDS mounts. This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of this idea. Firstly, the quasi-static force–displacement curve of a mounted bistable plate is determined experimentally. Then the dynamic response of a nonlinear mass–spring system incorporating this plate is measured. Excellent agreement is obtained when compared to theoretical predictions based on the measured force–displacement curve, and the system shows a greater isolation region and a lower peak response to base excitation than the equivalent linear system.     

Effect of longitudinal heat conduction on the catalytic ignition of carbon monoxide in a boundary layer

The catalytic ignition of dry carbon monoxide and air in a boundary layer flow over a palladium plate is studied in this paper. The heterogeneous reaction mechanism is modelled with the dissociative adsorption of the molecular oxygen and the non-dissociative adsorption of CO, together with a surface reaction of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood type and the desorption reaction of the adsorbed product, CO₂(s). The critical condition for catalytic ignition, represented by the ignition Damköhler number, has been deduced using high activation energy asymptotics of the desorption kinetics of the most efficiently adsorbed reactant, CO(s). Longitudinal heat conduction along the plate has been considered and its influence on the ignition temperature has been evaluated. This influence is rather weak, indicating that the flat plate boundary layer flow configuration is a robust device to determine the critical conditions for catalytic ignition.     

Interactions between the Euler,Helmholtz, and Rayleigh Instabilities

The static bending of a thin plate that separates two liquids with different densities and velocities has been considered under the assumption that the liquids and the midsurface of the plate are incompressible. Wavelengths in this simple model are small compared to the sizes of the plate and liquid-filled spaces. Static interaction between the Euler, Helmholtz, and Rayleigh instabilities as a function of the compression force acting on the plate normally to the contact boundary has been studied. The ranges of the corresponding parameters have been found for the cases when the flatness of the plate and contact boundaries becomes stable and unstable.

Numerical work has been done and convergence of the solution has been studied. Results have also been obtained for various cases and compared with those of other investigators.     

Double-layer PVDF transducer and V(z) measurement system for measuring leaky Lamb waves in a piezoelectric plate

This paper presents a new experimental measurement method for leaky Lamb waves propagating in a piezoelectric plate immersed in a conductive fluid. The measurement system is a low-frequency version of lens-less acoustic microscopy which has been developed based on a line-focus double-layer PVDF transducer. The transducer and its defocusing measurement system can perform V(z) measurements on a sample plate immersed in a fluid, and therefore can obtain the leaky Lamb wave velocities with high accuracy. An X-cut LiNbO₃ plate is investigated with this experimental measurement system to find out its fluid-loading effects, especially the conductive loading effects by water of various conductivities. Angular dependence of this conductive loading effect along different propagating directions on the X-cut LiNbO₃ plate is measured. It is found out the conductive loading effects are strongly dependent on the piezoelectric coupling factor. Theoretical calculations based on partial wave theory have also been carried out and compared with experimental data. Good agreements have been observed.     

Mode selection of Lamb waves for the evaluation of solid plates with liquid loading

This paper studies the mode selection of Lamb waves for evaluating solid plates with liquid loading. For this purpose, the Lamb wave selected should have the features such as zero normal displacement components at the plate surface in contact with liquid, small dispersion, and maximum group velocity. It is found that when the phase velocity of Lamb wave is equal to the longitudinal wave velocity of the plate material, its normal displacement at the plate surface is always zero. Through the numerical analyses, the specific S₂ Lamb wave that has zero normal displacement component at the plate surface, small dispersion and maximum group velocity compared with the other Lamb waves has been found. With respect to the specific S₂ Lamb wave, some experimental examinations have been carried out. It is found that the liquid loading on the plate surface has less influence on the specific S₂ Lamb wave signal but it can effectively eliminate the other signals. Moreover, the specific S₂ Lamb wave selected exhibits the capability of detecting multiple defects in the solid plate with the liquid loading. It can be concluded that the specific S₂ Lamb wave selected is suitable for the evaluation of solid plates with liquid loading.     

Experimental and numerical investigation on the exergy and entransy performance of a novel plate heat exchanger

There has been increased attention on various types of plate heat exchangers because of their high efficiency and compactness. This article presents an investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow performance of a novel plate heat exchanger based on numeric studies and experimental tests. Parameters of the novel plate heat exchanger are analyzed and discussed. The thermo-hydraulic transfer performance of different plate heat exchangers is comprehensively analyzed using the exergy and entransy principle. The results indicate that the novel plate heat exchanger has better thermo-hydraulic transfer performance than the smooth plate heat exchanger. The result of this study provides a paradigm for the optimal design of plate heat exchangers.

Superresolution by three-zone pure phase plate with 0, π, 0 phase variation

Superresolution is very important in imaging and optical storage systems, and has attracted much attention. In this article, concentric three-zone phase plate with 0, π, 0 phase variation has been investigated numerically to show that this kind of phase plate can be used to obtain three-dimensional superresolution. In addition, the number of intensity maximum, focal depth, focal shift, full-width half-maximum, and relative intensity of side lobe are listed for different radii of the phase zones, which paves the way for design of the phase plate. Therefore, one can choose values of radii for desired intensity distribution in focal region, such as for the purpose of radial superresolution with high focal depth in optical storage.     

Axisymmetric vibrations of an isotropic elastic non-homogeneous circular plate of linearly varying thickness

Free axisymmetric vibrations of an isotropic, elastic, non-homogeneous circular plate of linearly varying thickness have been studied on the classical theory of plates. The non-homogeneity of the material of the plate is assumed to arise due to the variation of Young's modulus and density with the radius vector whereas Poisson's ratio is assumed to remain constant. The governing differential equation of motion is solved by the method of Frobenius. The transverse displacement of the plate has been expressed as a power series in terms of the radial co-ordinate. The frequency parameters corresponding to the first two modes of vibration have been computed for different values of the non-homogeneity parameter and taper constant and for clamped and simply supported edge conditions of the plate. A comparison between the numerical results for homogeneous and non-homogeneous material of the plate is also made.     

Interaction of induced sound with flow past a square leading edged plate in a duct

The interaction of resonant sounds with the flow past a thick, blunt, flat plate in a rigid walled square duct has been examined. Sound pressure levels of up to 146 dB (re 20 μPa) have been recorded. It has been established that the resonant sound can initially be excited at a harmonic of the normal vortex shedding frequency. In some cases, the sound “feeds back” on the vortex shedding process causing a step change in the shedding frequency, increasing the Strouhal number for the plate by up to twice the normal value. This excited vortex shedding and associated resonances can be suppressed by locating the plate at incidence to the air flow direction. Complex duct modes can be generated by the vortex shedding resulting in different regions of the plate shedding at different Strouhal numbers.     

Generalized thermoelastic extensional and flexural wave motions in homogenous isotropic plate by using asymptotic method

In this paper the asymptotic method has been applied to investigate propagation of generalized thermoelastic waves in an infinite homogenous isotropic plate. The governing equations for the extensional, transversal and flexural motions are derived from the system of three-dimensional dynamical equations of linear theories of generalized thermoelasticity. The asymptotic operator plate model for extensional and flexural free vibrations in a homogenous thermoelastic plate leads to sixth and fifth degree polynomial secular equations, respectively. These secular equations govern frequency and phase velocity of various possible modes of wave propagation at all wavelengths. The velocity dispersion equations for extensional and flexural wave motion are deduced from the three-dimensional analog of Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation for thermoelastic plate. The approximation for long and short waves along with expression for group velocity has also been obtained. The Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations for the considered plate are expanded in power series in order to obtain polynomial frequency and velocity dispersion relations and its equivalence established with that of asymptotic method. The numeric values for phase velocity, group velocity and attenuation coefficients has also been obtained using MATHCAD software and are shown graphically for extensional and flexural waves in generalized theories of thermoelastic plate for solid helium material.     

Metallic glass coating on metals plate by adjusted explosive welding technique

Using an adjusted explosive welding technique, an aluminum plate has been coated by a Fe-based metallic glass foil in this work. Scanning electronic micrographs reveal a defect-free metallurgical bonding between the Fe-based metallic glass foil and the aluminum plate. Experimental evidence indicates that the Fe-based metallic glass foil almost retains its amorphous state and mechanical properties after the explosive welding process. Additionally, the detailed explosive welding process has been simulated by a self-developed hydro-code and the bonding mechanism has been investigated by numerical analysis. The successful welding between the Fe-based metallic glass foil and the aluminum plate provides a new way to obtain amorphous coating on general metal substrates.     

In situ X‐ray data collection and structure phasing of protein crystals at Structural Biology Center 19‐ID

A prototype of a 96‐well plate scanner for in situ data collection has been developed at the Structural Biology Center (SBC) beamline 19‐ID, located at the Advanced Photon Source, USA. The applicability of this instrument for protein crystal diffraction screening and data collection at ambient temperature has been demonstrated. Several different protein crystals, including selenium‐labeled, were used for data collection and successful SAD phasing. Without the common procedure of crystal handling and subsequent cryo‐cooling for data collection at T = 100 K, crystals in a crystallization buffer show remarkably low mosaicity (<0.1°) until deterioration by radiation damage occurs. Data presented here show that cryo‐cooling can cause some unexpected structural changes. Based on the results of this study, the integration of the plate scanner into the 19‐ID end‐station with automated controls is being prepared. With improvement of hardware and software, in situ data collection will become available for the SBC user program including remote access.     

Three-dimensional simulation of electric field and space charge in the advanced hybrid particulate collector

The advanced hybrid particulate collector (AHPC) is an efficient hybrid system that combines the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and the bag filter in a unique approach. In this study, an unstructured finite volume method (FVM) is used to compute the three-dimensional distributions of the electric field and the space charge density in an AHPC setup for two cases: without the perforated plate and with the perforated plate. The current–voltage characteristics of the AHPC setup are measured. The current on the bag plate has a mean value 7.82 μA without the perforated plate and 0.08 μA with the perforated plate for the measured voltages. The total currents are used to calculate the charge density at the corona wire according to the Peek's formula. For both cases, the numerical predictions of the current–voltage relations of the plates of the model AHPC agree well with the measurements. When the AHPC has the perforated plate, numerical results show that the electric field and space charge density distributions on the perforated plate have the same number of peaks corresponding to the holes. The electric field on the bag plate surface is lower than that of the top plate and the perforated plate. Though the bag plate has low current, its surface still has high space charge density. When the AHPC has no perforated plate, the electric field is higher than six times and the space charge density is higher than three times that of the case with the perforated plate on the bag plate surface.

Compensated Polarization Scrambler for Raman Depolarization and Intensity Measurements on Microsamples

It has long been recognized ^1,2,3,4,5 in measuring relative intensities and depolarization ratios of Raman lines that prism and grating spectrometers have different transmittances for light polarized parallel (T_∥) and perpendicular (T_⊥) to the slit. Several methods have been used to give equal instrument response to parallel and perpendicular polarization. Stitt and Yost³ used a Nicol prism parallel to the high-transmittance direction of the spectrometer, combined with a rotatable mica half-wave plate to transmit either vector to the Nicol prism. This method has the advantage of having a higher spectrometer transmittance, but the mica plate gives exact half-wave retardation at only a single wavelength. A mica quarter-wave plate ^4,5 averages the transmittances of the spectrometer for the two polarization directions, but is also wavelength dependent. Virtually achromatic circular polarizers have been designed and constructed ^6,7, but these devices are too bulky and expensive for the clear apertures needed for fast spectrometers.     

Electron and ion beam induced heating effects in solids measured by laser interferometry

A sensitive interferometric technique has been applied for studying the thermal displacement of thin film heated by electron or ion beams. The steady state displacement has been measured and we discuss the dependence on material properties and film thickness showing that this method has a potential for in-situ monitoring of thin-film deposition or etching. Transient effects are studied in a thin quartz plate and the propagation velocity of thermal waves is measured.Our colleague Martin Nonnenmacher passed away May 1992. We deplore his early death deeply and acknowledge gratefully the excellent cooperation with him.
