A Semi-empirical Correlation for Pressure Drop in Packed Beds of Spherical Particles

The effect of a confining wall on the pressure drop of fluid flow through packed beds of spherical particles with small bed-to-particle diameter ratios was investigated to develop an improved pressure drop correlation. The dependency of pressure loss on both wall friction and increased porosity near the wall was accounted for by using a theoretical approach. A semi-empirical model was created based upon the capillary-orifice model, which included a wall correction factor for the inertial pressure loss. In this model, packed beds were treated as a bundle of capillary tubes whose orifice diameter in the core region was different from that of the wall region. Using this model, a new pressure drop correlation was obtained, based on the Ergun equation and applicable for a wide range of Reynolds numbers (10⁻²–10³). The proposed correlation was compared with previous correlations, as well as with experimental data. This correlation showed close agreement with the experimental data for both low- and high-Reynolds number regimes and for a wide range of bed-to-particle diameter ratios. The ratio of the pressure drop in finite packing to that in homogeneous packing was then calculated. This ratio clearly shows how the wall effect depends on the Reynolds number and the bed-to-particle diameter ratio.     

Measurement of the Coefficient of Transverse Dispersion in Flow Through Packed Beds for a Wide Range of Values of the Schmidt Number

Experimental values of the coefficient of transverse dispersion (D _T) were measured with the system 2-naphthol/water, over a range of temperatures between 293K and 373K, which corresponds to a range of values of viscosity () between 2.83×10^–4 Ns/m² and 1.01×10^–3 Ns/m² and of molecular diffusion coefficient (D _m) between 1.03×10^–9 m²/s and 5.49×10^–9 m²/s. Since the density () of water is close to 10³ kg/m³, the corresponding variation of the Schmidt number (Sc=/D _m) was in the range 1000 – 50. More than 200 experimental values of the transverse dispersion coefficient were obtained using beds of silica sand with average particle sizes (d) of 0.297 and 0.496mm, operated over a range of interstitial liquid velocities (u) between 0.1mm/s and 14mm/s and this gave a variation of the Reynolds number (Re=du/) between 0.01 and 3.5.Plots of the dimensionless coefficient of transverse dispersion (D _T/D _m) vs. the Peclet number (Pe_m=ud/D _m) based on molecular diffusion bring into evidence the influence of Sc on transverse dispersion. As the temperature is increased, the value of Sc decreases and the values of D _T/D _m gradually approach the line corresponding to gas behaviour (i.e. Sc 1), which is known to be well approximated by the equation D _T/D _m=1/+ud/12D _m, where is the tortuosity with regard to diffusion.     

均布载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性分析

采用轴对称旋转壳体的简化Reissner方程，研究了在均布载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性弯曲问题。应用格林函数方法，波纹膜片的非线性边值问题化为了非线性积分方程的求解。为了求解积分方程并防止发散，一个插值参数被引入到迭代格式中。计算表明，当载荷很小时，任何插值参数值均能保证迭代的收敛性，取插值参数值接近或等于1获得较快的收敛速度，而当载荷较大时，插值参数值不能取得过大。绘出了波纹膜片的特征曲线，得到的特征曲线可供设计参考。可以断言，当载荷不大时，特征曲线是近似线性的，随着载荷的增大，特征曲线开始向上弯曲，明显偏离线性。本文中提出的解决方法适应于任意轴向截面的波纹壳体。     

填充床中气体渗流与化学波耦合问题的研究

Transport of Viruses Through Saturated and Unsaturated Columns Packed with Sand

Laboratory-scale virus transport experiments were conducted in columns packed with sand under saturated and unsaturated conditions. The viruses employed were the male-specific RNA coliphage, MS2, and the Salmonella typhimurium phage, PRD1. The mathematical model developed by Sim and Chrysikopoulos (Water Resour Res 36:173–179, 2000) that accounts for processes responsible for removal of viruses during vertical transport in one-dimensional, unsaturated porous media was used to fit the data collected from the laboratory experiments. The liquid to liquid–solid and liquid to air–liquid interface mass transfer rate coefficients were shown to increase for both bacteriophage as saturation levels were reduced. The experimental results indicate that even for unfavorable attachment conditions within a sand column (e.g., phosphate-buffered saline solution; pH = 7.5; ionic strength = 2 mM), saturation levels can affect virus transport through porous media.

Experimental investigation on the distribution uniformity and pressure drop of perforated plate distributors for the innovative spray-type packed bed thermal storage

As an innovative thermal energy technology, the spray-type packed bed has advantages of high efficiency and low cost. A liquid distributor is the key component for the spray-type packed bed for scattering heat-transfer liquid drops evenly. In this study, the distribution performance and pressure drop of the perforated plate distributors of different orifice diameters were studied experimentally. The experimental results indicate that orifice diameter has a greater effect on the distribution performance compared to flow rate. With an increase in flow rate, the flow pattern through the distributor changes from the uncovered drop to the covered drop and then to the jet flow. The covered drop pattern shows the best performance with a good distribution and a small pressure drop simultaneously, which is the design and optimization principle of the distributor for a spray-type packed bed.

Uniform convergence for the difference scheme in the conservation form of ordinary differential equation with a small parameter

In this paper, we consider a singular perturbation boundary problem for a self-adjoint ordinary differential equaiton. We construct a class of difference schemes with fitted factors, and give the sufficient conditions under which the solution of difference scheme converges uniformly to the solution of differential equation. From this we propose several specific schemes under weaker conditions, and give much higher order of uniform convergence.

Heat Transfer and Pressure loss of a very shallow fluidized-bed heat exchanger Part 1. Experiment with a single row of tubes

A novel gas fluidized-bed heat exchanger with a very small static bed height has been developed for a heat-exchanging system using a low-pressure fan. This fluidized bed is composed of a multislit distributor, a single row of 8 mm diameter tubes, and glass beads 48–195 μm in diameter. The measured performance of heat transfer is excellent and that of fluidization is satisfactory, in spite of the static bed height being as small as 13 mm. In the best case, the test fluidized bed exhibited a heat transfer performance comparable to that of a conventional fluidized bed with a perforated plate distributor and a static bed height of 150 mm, and showed one-fourteenth the pressure loss.

Similarity Laws for the Velocity Distribution and the Reynolds Tensor Components in the Wall Region of a Turbulent Boundary Layer with Injection and Suction

Similarity laws of the distributions of the average velocity, tangential stress, and mean-square transverse velocity fluctuation are established in an intermediate zone of a turbulent boundary layer with injection and suction. This zone is located in the neighborhood of the wall outside the viscous sublayer. The similarity relationship for the velocity profile is a generalization of the well-known logarithmic law to include the case of the presence of a mass flow at the wall.

Radial angular temperature distributions for nonisothermal two-phase filtration of oil and water

The distributions of phase saturations, pressure, and temperature in a porous medium of nonuniform permeability are studied by numerical modeling of nonisothermal two-phase filtration of oil and water with the Joule-Thomson effect and adiabatic effect taken into account. It is shown that the presence of nonuniformity in the near-well zone of the reservoir results in nonmonotonic angular and radial distributions of temperature and phase saturations. During oil and water filtration, there is transition from negative to positive temperature anomalies or vice versa, depending on the ratio of the reservoir permeabilities and the presence of a segment on which the angular temperature distribution in the well is nonuniform. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 6, pp. 124–130, November–December, 2008.

Assessment of Turbulence Models for Predicting the Interaction Region in a Wall Jet by Reference to LES Solution and Budgets

Highly-resolved LES and experimental data for a plane wall jet are used to study the characteristics of turbulence-closure proposals, mainly within the framework of second-moment-transport modelling. The study is motivated by the observed importance of diffusive Reynolds-stress transport in the interaction region between the outer shear layer and the near-wall layer of the wall jet, which gives the near-wall flow characteristics that are very different from those of a conventional boundary layer. Comparisons are presented for mean-flow quantities, second moments and budgets. Also included are a priori studies of approximations for the pressure-velocity interaction, pressure-fluctuation-driven transport and turbulent transport of the Reynolds stresses by triple correlations, the last observed to contribute significantly to the stress budgets. The study reveals major defects in the closure approximations for the pressure-velocity interaction terms, especially in the near-wall region. These defects result in a poor representation by the particular second-moment closures investigated of even the integral and mean-flow characteristics of the wall jet.     

Exact solutions for the incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic fluid of a rotating-disk flow with Hall current

The focus of the present study is to obtain exact solutions for the flow of a viscous hydromagnetic fluid due to the rotation of an infinite disk in the presence of an axial uniform steady magnetic field with the inclusion of Hall current effect. In place of the traditional von Karman's axisymmetric evolution of the flow, the rotational non-axisymmetric stationary conducting flow is taken into consideration here, whose governing equations allow an exact solution to develop bounded everywhere in the normal direction to the wall.The three-dimensional equations of motion are treated analytically yielding derivation of exact solutions, which differ from those of corresponding to the classical von Karman's conducting flow. Making use of this solution, analytical formulas for the angular velocity components, for the current density field as well as for the wall shear stresses are extracted. The critical peripheral locations at which extrema of the local skin friction occur are also determined. It is proved from the analytical results that for the specific flow the properly defined thicknesses decay as the magnetic field strength increases in magnitude, approaching their hydrodynamic value in the limit of large Hall numbers.Interaction of the resolved flow field with the surrounding temperature is further analyzed via the energy equation. The temperature field is shown to accord with the dissipation function. According to the Fourier's heat law, a constant heat transfer from the disk to the fluid occurs, though it increases by the presence of magnetic field, the increase is slowed down by the Hall effect eventually reaching its hydrodynamic limit.

由于在钻井过程中泥浆的侵入、射孔以及井下作业，实际的油气井总有一定的表皮效应。对于双层油气藏来说，各层的表皮效应可能不同。本文采用最大有效井径的概念，在考虑表皮效应和井筒储存的影响的条件下，建立了一个新的具有层间越流的双层定压边界油气藏井底压力的动态模型。通过拉氏变换得到了拉氏空间下以Bessel函数表示的精确解。运用Crump数值反演方法，得到了实空间的解；分析了压力动态特征。该模型不但适合于表皮系数为正的情况，也适合于表皮系数为负的情形。最后指出了Bourdet模型的局限性。用新模型绘制的典型曲线进行拟合，将得到更加准确的结果。
