Evaluation of high shear viscosity data from jet and concentric cylinder viscometers

Summary This work compares and evaluates viscosity data obtained on similar fluids by two widely accepted high shear techniques. Both the jet and concentric cylinder viscometers are useful high shear methods. The major limitation of the jet viscometer is an inability to distinguish quantitatively between energy losses in laminar flow and those due to capillary geometry and experimental conditions. For example, the jet viscometer gives minima in viscosity-shear rate correlations which are difficult to treat. These minima are not found in concentric cylinder viscometer data for the same and similar fluids. The apparent viscosity increase at high shear in the jet may be due to factors other thanReynold's turbulence, as previously supposed. This effect may be due to molecular relaxation phenomena in certain cases. The jet viscometer might thus be used to evaluate molecular relaxation and/or other phenomena contributing to this effect.For a variety of systems, the concentric cylinder viscometer gives significantly smaller temporary viscosity losses due to shear than do the jet viscometer data. These comparisons are made using the maximum jet shear rate at the capillary wall. The differences are, of course, larger if average shear rates are used to compare the data. It is concluded that the jet viscometer results tend to be erroneous. This is possibly due to capillary end effects or problems with kinetic energy corrections.

现场实测结构温度对半刚性沥青路面性能的影响

针对中国特色的半刚性基层沥青路面,在广韶高速公路瓮城段进行为期一个月高温期的现场温度观测。运用三维有限元方法,结合现场实测温度,分析了半刚性沥青路面结构的最大拉应力、最大剪应力和最大路表弯沉在荷载和荷载耦合作用下的变化情况。结果表明,随着路面深度增加,温度波动的幅度逐渐减小;路面内的最高温度相对大气和路表温度滞后约1小时;沥青路面内部温度高于表面温度;大气、路表和路面内部温度变化基本同步,温度波峰与波谷的出现频率相同;在温度和荷载综合作用下,路表以下2cm深度范围内易出现因拉应力不足造成的开裂破坏;路表以下10cm深度范围内,较易出现剪切破坏;高温温度场的存在虽不会明显增大路面结构各层的拉应力与剪应力,但会明显增大路表弯沉,故易产生车辙破坏。

高地应力条件下的巷道崩落爆破参数

以柱装药爆破漏斗理论为基础,对高地应力巷道崩落爆破标准漏斗形成进行研究,导出了高应力条件下形成崩落爆破标准漏斗的判断准则,进而导出了相应条件的巷道崩落爆破参数计算式。结果表明,地应力的作用要求对巷道崩落爆破的现有参数计算进行修正,而且地应力越高,崩落爆破的最小抵抗线和炮孔间距减小越多,单位耗药量和循环炮孔数量增加越多。最后指出,选用较高爆速的炸药可减缓崩落爆破参数随地应力增大而改变的速率。

Intergranular and transgranular crack growth at triple junction boundaries in ordered intermetallics

Coincident site-lattice (CSL) and random grain boundaries (GBs) effects on intergranular and transgranular crack propagation paths in ordered intermetallics that are subjected to high rates of strain are investigated. A three dimensional dislocation density based multiple slip crystalline formulation and computational scheme are used for a detailed understanding and accurate characterization of interrelated deformation and failure mechanisms that can occur due to the generation, trapping, interaction, and annihilation of mobile and immobile dislocation densities that are generally associated with finite strain high strain-rate plasticity in L1₂ ordered intermetallics. Results from this study indicate that intergranular crack growth is along the GBs, normal to the stress-axis, and is due to the dominance of normal stresses in the crack-tip region. Transgranular crack growth is along slip-planes, and is due to the dominance of shear stresses in the crack-tip region.

Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of FeCoCrNiCu high entropy alloys: a microstructure-based constitutive model and a molecular dynamics simulation study

High entropy alloys(HEAs) attract remarkable attention due to the excellent mechanical performance. However, the origins of their high strength and toughness compared with those of the traditional alloys are still hardly revealed. Here, using a microstructure-based constitutive model and molecular dynamics(MD) simulation, we investigate the unique mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution of FeCoCrNiCu HEAs during the indentation. Due to the interaction between the dislocation and solution,the high dislocation density in FeCoCrNiCu leads to strong work hardening. Plentiful slip systems are stimulated, leading to the good plasticity of FeCoCrNiCu. The plastic deformation of FeCoCrNiCu is basically affected by the motion of dislocation loops. The prismatic dislocation loops inside FeCoCrNiCu are formed by the dislocations with the Burgers vectors of a/6[■] and a/6[■], which interact with each other, and then emit along the ■slip direction. In addition, the mechanical properties of FeCoCrNiCu HEA can be predicted by constructing the microstructure-based constitutive model, which is identified according to the evolution of the dislocation density and the stress-strain curve.Strong dislocation strengthening and remarkable lattice distortion strengthening occur in the deformation process of FeCoCrNiCu, and improve the strength. Therefore, the origins of high strength and high toughness in FeCoCrNiCu HEAs come from lattice distortion strengthening and the more activable slip systems compared with Cu. These results accelerate the discovery of HEAs with excellent mechanical properties, and provide a valuable reference for the industrial application of HEAs.     

Characteristics of counter-rotating vortex rings formed ahead of a compressible vortex ring

Characteristics of high Mach number compressible vortex ring generated at the open end of a short driver section shock tube is studied experimentally using high-speed laser sheet-based flow visualization. The formation mechanism and the evolution of counter rotating vortex ring (CRVR) formed ahead of the primary vortex ring are studied in details for shock Mach number (M) 1.7, with different driver section lengths. It has been observed that the strength of the embedded shock, which appears at high M, increases with time due to the flow expansion in the generating jet. Strength of the embedded shock also varies with radius; it is strong at smaller radii and weak at larger radii; hence, it creates a velocity gradient ahead of the embedded shock. At critical Mach number (M _c ≥ 1.6), this shear layer rolls up and forms a counter rotating vortex ring due to Biot-Savart induction of the vortex sheet. For larger driver section lengths, the embedded shock and the resultant shear layer persists for a longer time, resulting in the formation of multiple CRVRs due to Kelvin–Helmholtz type instability of the vortex sheet. CRVRs roll over the periphery of the primary vortex ring; they move upstream due to their self-induced velocity and induced velocity imparted by primary ring, and interact with the trailing jet. Formation of these vortices depends strongly upon the embedded shock strength and the length of the generating jet. Primary ring diameter increases rapidly during the formation and the evolution of CRVR due to induced velocity imparted on the primary ring by CRVR. Induced velocity of CRVR also affects the translational velocity of the primary ring considerably.     

Numerical simulations of heat transfer distribution of a two-pass square channel with V-rib turbulator and bleed holes

The blade tip region in gas turbine encounters high thermal loads due to temperature difference and hence efforts for high durability and safe operations are essential. Improved and robust methods of cooling are required to downgrade heat transfer rate to turbine blades. The blade tip regions, which are exposed to high gas flow, suffers high local thermal load which are due to external tip leakage. Jet impingement, pin cooling etc. are techniques used for cooling blades. A more usual way is to use serpentine passage with 180-degree turn. In this study, numerical simulation of heat transfer distribution of a two-pass square channel with rib turbulators and bleed holes were done. Periodical rib turbulators and bleed holes were used in the channel. The ribs arrangement were 60 degree V rib, 60 degree inverted V ribs, combination of 60 degree V rib at inlet and 60 inverted V rib at outlet section and combination of Inverted V at inlet and V rib at the outlet. The results were numerically computed using Fluent with Reynolds number of 12,500 and 28,500. Turbulence models used for computations were k-ω-SST and RSM. Temperature based and shear stress based techniques were used for heat transfer distribution prediction. The results for 60 degree V rib, 60 degree inverted V ribs were compared with the experimental results for validation of the results obtained. Detailed distribution shows distinctive peaks in heat transfer around bleed holes and rib turbulator. Comparisons of the overall performance of the models with different orientation of rib turbulator are presented. It is found that due to the combination of 60 degree inverted V rib in inlet and 60 V rib in outlet with bleed holes provides better heat treatment. It is suggested that the use of rib turbulator with bleed holes provides suitable for augmenting blade cooling to achieve an optimal balance between thermal and mechanical design requirements.
