This paper describes an experimental investigation of the feasibility of using “slow” active control approaches, which “instantaneously” change liquid fuel spray properties, to suppress combustion instabilities. The objective of this control approach was to break up the feedback between the combustion process heat release and combustor pressure oscillations that drive the instability by changing the characteristics of the combustion process (e.g., the characteristic combustion time). To demonstrate the feasibility of such control, this study used a proprietary fuel injector (NanomiserTM), which can vary its fuel spray properties, to investigate the dependence of acoustics–combustion process coupling, i.e., the driving of combustion instabilities, upon the fuel spray properties. This study showed that by changing the spray characteristics it is possible to significantly damp combustion instabilities. Furthermore, using combustion zone chemiluminescence distributions, which were obtained by Abel’s deconvolution synchronized with measured acoustic data, it has been shown that the instabilities were mostly driven midway between the combustor centerline and wall, a short distance downstream from the flame holder, where the mean axial flow velocity is approximately zero in the vortex near the flame holder. The results of this study strongly suggest that a “slow” active control system that employs controllable fuel injectors could be effectively used to prevent the onset of detrimental combustion instabilities. 相似文献
In this comment we analyze a method for the solution of the eigenvalue equation for three coupled harmonic oscillators proposed recently. We argue that the authors did not obtain the frequencies and coordinates of the normal modes that make the Hamiltonian operator diagonal but merely six transcendental equations for the relevant parameters that they did not attempt to solve. We derive the conditions for the existence of bound states that the authors did not appear to be able to obtain probably because of the complexity exhibited by those equations. 相似文献
The ultrafast dynamics of excited electronic states in a series of quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged platinum-complexes was investigated by using femtosecond luminescence spectroscopy. In Pt-Br system, the wave-packet oscillation of the local vibration of self-trapped excitons (STEs) was observed. The time evolutions of luminescence intensity in Pt-Br and Pt-Cl were successfully described by using a model based on a wave-packet motion on the interaction mode coordinate. In Pt-I, very fast decay was observed, suggesting the existence of efficient non-radiative decay channel directing to structural change. 相似文献
We consider here i.i.d. variables which are distributed according to a Pareto
up to some point x1 and a Pareto
(with a different parameter) after this point. This model constitutes an approximation for estimating extreme tail probabilities, especially for financial or insurance data. We estimate the parameters by maximizing the likelihood of the sample, and investigate the rates of convergence and the asymptotic laws. We find here a problem which is very close to the change point question from the point of view of limits of experiments. Especially, the rates of convergence and the limiting law obtained here are the same as in a change point framework. Simulations are giving an illustration of the quality of the procedure. 相似文献
Electrodialytic transport properties of anion exchange membranes were measured after formation of anionic polyelectrolyte layers on the membrane surfaces: relative transport number of various anions to chloride ions, current efficiency and apparent diffusion coefficients of neutral molecules. The anionic polyelectrolyte layers were formed by immersing the membrane into an aqueous solution of polycondensation product of sodium naphthalene sulfonate and formaldehyde or polystyrene sulfonic acid.
The change in the relative transport number between anions was remarkable in the anion exchange membrane with high ion exchange capacity by forming the layer. Results were: the relative transport number of sulfate ions to chloride ions decreased and those of nitrate ions to chloride ions, fluoride ions to chloride ions and bromide ions to chloride ions increased compared with the corresponding membrane. Although the apparent diffusion coefficient of neutral molecules suggested clogging of the membrane pores by the polyelectrolyte, anions with higher hydrated ionic diameter were able to permeate through the membrane easily. This means that difference of electrostatic repulsion force against two anions is effective on the change in the relative transport number of anions. 相似文献
The temperature-dependent structural changes in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoride([Bmim]FeCl4)magnetic ionic liquid(MIL)were investigated by using in-situ X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS)combined with Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations.XAFS re sults revealed that the coordination number and bond length of Fe-Cl in the anion of[Bmim]FeCl4 MIL decreased with increments in temperature.These results directly reflected the dissociation of tetrahedral structure[FeCl4]^-,and the formation of bridge-chain[Fe2 Cl5]^+,and[FeCl2]^+species in the anion of[Bmim]FeCl4 MIL.These behaviors indicated that[FeCl4]^-dissociation was endothermic,and was promoted by increased temperature.The results obtained through XAFS were in agreement with those obtained through Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations. 相似文献
In this paper, we first determine the existence of structural changes in the dependence between time series of equity index returns of two markets using the change point testing method. The method is based on Archimedean copula functions, which are able to comprehensively describe dependence characteristics of random variables. The degree of financial contagion between markets is subsequently estimated using the tail dependence coefficient of copula functions before and after the change point. We empirically test our method by investigating financial contagion during the subprime crisis between the US S&P 500 index and five Asian markets, namely China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Our results show that a statistically significant change point exists in the dependence between the US market and all Asian stock markets except Taiwan. The upper tail dependence is larger after the time of change, implying the existence of contagion during the banking crisis between the US and the Asian economies. The degree of financial contagion is also estimated and found to be consistent with market events and media reports during that period. 相似文献
