A captive-air irradiation study of the response of nitric acid and peroxyacetyl nitrate to ozone control strategies in Los Angeles

Outdoor smog chamber experiments were used to study the sensitivity of the yields of two important nitrogen-containing pollutants, nitric acid (HNO₃) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) to changes in nonmethane hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NO_x) concentrations in Los Angeles. The experiments were conducted at two sites in the Los Angeles Basin using eight chambers filled with morning Los Angeles air on 33 days. At least one chamber was unchanged and served as a control, while the initial HC and/or NO_x concentrations were changed by 25–50% in up to seven chambers to simulate O₃ control strategies and to broaden the range of HC - NO_x conditions studied. Empirical models that predict the maximum yields of HNO₃ and PAN were used to determine the response of these pollutants to three possible ozone control strategies. All three strategies (reductions in HC, NO_x or both HC and NO_x) reduced PAN while only NO_x reductions decreased HNO₃. However, reducing NO_x increased the HC reductions required to attain lower O₃ levels. Thus, there is a conflict between the O₃ and HNO₃ control strategies.     

Meteorologically adjusted ozone trends in urban areas: A probabilistic approach

A method has been developed that explicitly accounts for the effect of meteorological fluctuations on the annual distribution of ground-level ozone in urban areas. The model includes a trend component that adjusts the annual rate of change in ozone for concurrent impacts of meteorological conditions, including surface temperature and wind speed. The model was applied using available data from 43 urban areas throughout the U.S.A. where ozone levels frequently exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The results suggest that meteorologically adjusted upper percentiles of the distribution of daily maximum 1-h ozone are decreasing in most urban areas over the period from 1981 to 1991. The median rate of change was −1.1% per year indicating that ozone levels have decreased approximately 11% over this time period. Trends estimated by ignoring the meteorological component appear to underestimate the rate of improvement in ozone primarily because of the uneven year-to-year distribution of meteorological conditions favorable to ozone.     

Fe(OH)_2在湍流扩散火焰中抑制效果的CMC模拟研究

采用条件矩封闭模型(CMC)数值模拟了Fe(OH)2在湍流射流火焰中的灭火性能,计算结果表明该灭火添加剂在湍流燃烧中对H、OH和O的最大抑制效果要比层流下分别高出40%,10%,15%,其原因在于湍流扩散作用加强了某些不良输运特性组分的扩散,使得灭火添加剂的效果更强。不同Re数下的局部Damkholer数分布表明该灭火添加剂使得火焰变的不稳定,稳定燃烧位置沿轴向方向提高了3倍喷口直径的距离。     

城市综合交通枢纽内消防“准安全区”设置原则和评估流程研究

由于使用功能的需要,综合交通枢纽中的交通换乘大厅常设计为高大空间结构。在实际工程中,该类高大空间建筑部位超出了现行防火规范关于防火分区面积和安全疏散距离的要求,通常采用性能化方法进行评估,在性能化评估中一般采用"准安全区"的理念。目前,"准安全区"的火灾安全仅依靠性能参数的比较论证,没有较为统一的设计准则。从不同的净空高度出发,综合考虑自然排烟口面积占地板面积的比例、相邻自然排烟口的间距和单个自然排烟口的面积等多种因素影响下的综合交通枢纽换乘大厅作为"准安全区"的设计要求,提出了"准安全区"设计原则和评估流程,研究成果可直接用于综合交通枢纽换乘大厅的设计与评估中,并对类似建筑具有指导意义。     

细水雾雾强分布及灭火有效性实验研究

研究了系统压力变化对细水雾雾场分布的影响,定量表征了细水雾雾场分布特性。实验发现系统压力增大,细水雾总流量增大,细水雾分布向中心集中。通过改变燃料种类、系统压力、火源位置等条件,研究不同雾场强度下细水雾对不同燃烧模型的灭火有效性,实验发现在雾场强度较高的情况下,灭火效率很高,而在雾场强度较低的情况下,难以熄灭火焰。雾场强度较低时,细水雾对不同燃料的灭火效果不同,闪点较低的燃料容易强化燃烧,闪点较高的燃料燃烧会受到抑制。     

影响飞机燃油箱惰化系统参数的数值研究

选取单个飞机燃油箱,运用CFD方法模拟了燃油箱惰化系统的惰化过程。CFD方法的模拟结果与文献中的理想混合模型及经验公式吻合较好。通过模拟,发现增加富氮气体的流量、提高富氮气体中的氮气含量可以缩短惰化时间,而增加富氮气体喷嘴直径和燃油箱的体积则会延长惰化时间。其他参数如燃油箱的形状和富氮气体喷嘴位置对惰化时间没有明显的影...
