Experimental Heat Transfer Coefficients of Waste Heat Recovery Unit in Detergent Manufacturing Process

The waste heat recovery unit is one of the most important units in the chemical process. It recovers waste heat from the exhaust gas of the process resulting in the reduction of heat loss. In the detergent manufacturing process, the particulate air leaving the spray dryer is the exhaust gas containing the large amount of heat. Therefore, a waste heat recovery unit can significantly reduce heat loss. In this work, heat transfer coefficients of a waste heat recovery unit in the detergent manufacturing process were studied. Waste heat from the particulate air is recovered in the shell and coiled tube heat exchanger. The particulate air flows in the shell side, and water flows in the tube side. Four coiled tubes with different coil pitches were investigated. The results show that the tube-side heat transfer coefficient increases as the coil pitch decreases. Loading ratio also has an important effect on heat transfer coefficients. The increase of loading ratio leads to a lower value of the overall heat transfer coefficient. From 100 experiments, empirical correlations for the prediction of tube-side and shell-side heat transfer coefficients were proposed. The results indicate that the predicted heat transfer coefficients agree well with the experimental values.     

On Fourier–Haar coefficients of the function from the Marcinkiewicz space

The main objective of the paper is to describe asymptotic behaviour of Fourier–Haar coefficients of functions from Marcinkiewicz spaces. We also discuss the Cesàro summability and the almost convergence of sequences related to Fourier–Haar coefficients and generalise a result from [17]. Some analogues of Mercer's theorem for Fourier coefficients are proved.     

Rheological properties of dilute polymer solutions: An extended thermodynamic approach

It is shown that extended irreversible thermodynamics can be used to account for the shear rate and frequency dependences of several material functions like shear viscosity, first and second normal stress coefficients, dynamic viscosity and storage modulus. Comparison with experimental data on steady shearing and small oscillatory shearing flows is performed. A good agreement between the model and experiment is reached in a wide scale of variation of the shear rate and the frequency of oscillations. The relation between the present model which includes quadratic terms in the pressure tensor and the Giesekus model is also examined.     

Perfecting a method of micro-analysis of water and acetic acid in a cocoa bean in the course of drying: applying to determine transportation coefficients

This article is about the study of the diffusion of water and acetic acid in a grain of cocoa in course of drying. The authors present a method of microanalysis which enables the analysis of each little slice of the grain : a precise measurement of each slice is realised in view of the analysis from the centre to the surface of the grain with the aid of a cutting apparatus, designed and realised to this effect. At each instant of the drying process, the profiles of water and acetic acid contents are then determined. A one dimensional diffusion model enables a shell by shell evaluation of the diffusion of water and acid in the cocoa grain. The results obtained show an augmentation of transport coefficients in course of drying. We however observe a decrease of the diffusion coefficient of water to the low moisture content : what makes us think of the appearance of crusting phenomenon.

EFFECT OF EMPIRICAL COEFFICIENTS ON SIMULATION IN TWO-SCALE SECOND-ORDER MOMENT PARTICLE-PHASE TURBULENCE MODEL

A two-scale second-order moment two-phase turbulence model accounting for inter-particle collision is developed, based on the concept of particle large-scale fluctuation due to turbulence and particle small-scale fluctuation due to collision. The proposed model is used to simulate gas-particle downer reactor flows. The computational results of both particle volume fraction and mean velocity are in agreement with the experimental results. After analyzing effects of empirical coefficient on prediction results, we can come to a conclusion that, inside the limit range of empirical coefficient, the predictions do not reveal a large sensitivity to the empirical coefficient in the downer reactor, but a relatively great change of the constants has important effect on the prediction.

Visco-elastic systems under both deterministic and bound random parameteric excitation

The principal resonance of a visco-elastic systems under both deterministic and random parametric excitation was investigated. The method of multiple scales was used to determine the equations of modulation of amplitude and phase. The behavior, stability and bifurcation of steady state response were studied by means of qualitative analysis. The contributions from the visco-elastic force to both damping and stiffness can be taken into account. The effects of damping, detuning, bandwidth, and magnitudes of deterministic and random excitations were analyzed. The theoretical analysis is verified by numerical results.

Numerical modeling of the effect of geometric asymmetry on the damping aerodynamic characteristics of supersonic sectional flight vehicles

A method for calculating the steady inviscid supersonic flow past equivalent bodies is applied to the analysis of the time-dependent aerodynamic characteristics of sectional flight vehicles with an asymmetric rear stabilizer. The stabilizer asymmetry can be caused by either its deflection or a change in its shape due to heat-shield coating removal, boundary layer displacement thickness, developed separation flow zones, local deformations, or other distortions in the baseline form. Amathematical apparatus for modeling asymmetric sectional configurations by means of ruled surfaces with arbitrary contours of the reference cross-sections is developed. The uniform perfect-gas M_∞ = 6 flow past sectional vehicles performing plane oscillations about the zero angle of attack is calculated (the adiabatic exponent γ = 1.4). The calculated results demonstrate the effect of various asymmetries in the body shape on the aerodynamic coefficients.
