贫燃料预混燃烧的回火特性研究

回火问题是贫燃料预混燃烧面临的主要问题之一。本文采用计算和实验相结合的方法研究甲烷与富氢合成气贫预混燃烧的回火现象,得到不同燃料、不同稳定方式之间的回火特性。研究结果表明,回火极限可以关联为丕雷数模型,环形稳定器的回火稳定性最好,其次为杆稳定器,旋流稳定器的稳定性最差;环形稳定的甲烷预混火焰的回火过程为边缘稳定,适当加入边缘空气同轴射流后变为中心回火,且同轴射流速度存在最佳范围可以提高回火稳定性。     

Optical imaging and magnetophoresis of nanorods

Peclet number analysis is performed to probe the convective motion of nanospheres and nanorods under the influence of magnetophoresis and diffusion. Under most circumstances, magnetophoretic behaviour dominates diffusion for nanorods, as the magnetic field lines tend to align the magnetic moment along the rod axis. The synthesis and dispersion of fluorophore-tagged nanorods are described. Fluorescence microscopy is employed to image the nanorod motion in a magnetic field gradient. The preliminary experimental data are consistent with the Peclet number analysis.     

On the viscosity of magnetic fluid with low and moderate solid fraction

The design of a pressurized capillary rheometer operating at prescribed temperature is described to measure the viscosity of magnetic fluids (MFs) containing Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The equipment constant of the rheometer was obtained using liquids with predetermined viscosities. Experimentally measured viscosities were used to evaluate different equations for suspension viscosities. Deviation of measured suspension viscosities from the Einstein equation was found to be basically due to the influence of spatial distribution and aggregation of Fe3O4 MNPs. By taking account of the coating layer on MNPs and the aggregation of MNPs in MFs, a modified Einstein equation was proposed to fit the experimental data. Moreover, the influence of external magnetic field on viscosity was also taken into account. Viscosities thus predicted are in good agreement with experimental data. Temperature effect on suspension viscosity was shown experimentally to be due to the shear-thinning behavior of the MFs.     

Asymptotic Solution of the Problem of Heat Transfer between Two Plates and a Uniform Fluid Flow

For low Peclet numbers, analytic expressions are obtained for three highest terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution of the convective heat-transfer problem for a system consisting of two parallel plates with identical lengths identical and constant surface temperatures and an infinite uniform fluid flow with a low Prandtl number.     

Probabilistic approach for transport of contaminants through porous media

The channels formed between individual particles in porous media have variable dimensions and orientations. The porosity, permeability and its anisotropy exhibit random spatial distributions. The probabilistic approach can effectively describe the transport of contaminants through porous media and is analysed in this paper. Numerical results are obtained by considering (I) random dispersion coefficients without and with spatial structure, (II) random time distribution of concentration at the inlet boundary, (III) random velocity distribution in the flow field without and (IV) with variable dispersion coefficient, (V) non-linearity of the governing equation and (VI) anisotropy of the dispersion coefficient. Two methods are used for probabilistic predictions: (1) Gaussian field approach in conjunction with Monte Carlo method and (2) random walk method. The input random parameters are assumed to have normal and log-normal distributions according to available experimental data. The probability distribution functions of the contaminant concentration at different locations within the flow domain are calculated and compared with the input distributions as a function of the mean and fluctuation Peclet numbers. The one-dimensional case is analysed in detail and the illustrative numerical predictions are compared with analytical and experimental results. The extension to a two-dimensional domain is discussed in the last part of this paper.     

Effect of dispersion on the diffusion zone in two-phase laminar flows in microchannels

Aim of the present work is to investigate the reaction–diffusion process of a two species system under laminar flow in a T-shaped microchannel. A zone formed at the interface between the aqueous solutions of these two species is affected by advection and diffusion. Through theoretical analyses and experimental results, the effect of dispersion has been shown to influence this diffusion zone. We have defined a parameter called effective diffusivity, to account for the dispersion effects and observed it to be a function of the channel Peclet number. In the limiting case of low Peclet number, this parameter is constant and turns out to be equal to the molecular diffusivity. We have also related effective diffusivity and the dispersion coefficient through scaling estimates.

Rigorous upscaling of the infinite adsorption rate reactive flow under dominant Peclet number through a pore

In this paper we present a rigorous derivation of the effective model for enhanced diffusion through a narrow and long 2D pore. The analysis uses the anisotropic singular perturbation technique. Starting point is a local pore scale model describing the transport by convection and diffusion of a reactive solute. The solute particles undergo an adsorption process at the lateral tube boundary, with high adsorption rate. The transport and reaction parameters are such that we have large, dominant Peclet number with respect to the ratio of characteristic transversal and longitudinal lengths (the small parameter ). We give a formal derivation of the model using the anisotropic multiscale expansion with respect to . Error estimates for the approximation of the physical solution, by the upscaled one, are presented in the energy norm as well as in L ^∞ and L ¹ norms with respect to the space variable. They give the approximation error as a power of and guarantee the validity of the upscaled model through the rigorous mathematical justification of the effective behavior for small .
