旋流分离器油水分离效率的模拟研究

采用计算流体力学的方法,探讨了操作条件和物料特性对旋流分离器分离油水效率的影响。旋流器为单锥双入口,其主直径为50 mm,锥角为5.5°。模拟过程中,采用商业用软件‘Fluent 6.3’中的雷诺应力模型和欧拉多相流模型来模拟不同条件下油水旋流分离器的分离性能。模拟结果表明,对于本研究的油水旋流分离器,最佳的分流比是10%,最佳的油滴浓度是0.5%(V/V)。在最佳的分流比和油滴浓度下,当进口流速为10.46 m/s时,油水旋流分离器可将15μm的油滴去除80%以上,油滴的分离界限粒径d50(50%的分离效率)为9.2μm。在模拟的基础上,用统计软件STATISTICA6.0对分离效率与操作条件和物料特性之间的关系进行拟合。通过拟合式预测的分离效率与实测值相吻合,误差小于15%。     

好氧颗粒污泥沉降选择实验研究与定量描述

以序批式反应器培养的成熟好氧颗粒污泥为对象,研究沉淀高度对颗粒数、比重、污泥浓度、粒径分布及选择系数的影响.结果表明,随着沉淀高度的增加,污泥浓度在沉淀时间为30 s时由0.24 mg.L-1明显增加至6.07 mg.L-1,平均粒径从450μm增加到550μm,颗粒圆形度增加12.67%,而复杂度减小13.47%,说明粒径较大、形状较规则的颗粒沉降较快,从而更易在沉降选择过程中得以保留.根据选择压原理,结合颗粒污泥沉降实验结果引入选择系数.实验和计算结果显示,在任意沉淀高度,选择系数随粒径和密度的增大而增加.随着沉淀高度的增加,直径>600～800μm的颗粒选择系数增加,小颗粒趋势与之相反,说明增大排水比有利于大颗粒保留而絮体被筛选出反应器,而低的排水比会使污泥颗粒化过程放缓.该研究结果可望对加速污泥颗粒化过程和提高其稳定性提供科学的理论依据和指导.

Optimizing the configuration of a clearwell by integrating pilot and full-scale tracer testing

In this paper, the main factors impacting the plug flow pattern of a clearwell were investigated by integrating pilot-scale, full-scale clearwell tracer testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. It was found that pilot tracer testing, full-scale tracer testing and CFD simulation all demonstrated that the correlation between the ratio of t ₁₀/T and L/W can be approximately expressed by: t ₁₀/T = 0.189 4ln(L/W)-0.049 4. This study confirmed that the installation of baffles within clearwells is an efficient way to optimize their configuration. In addition, the inlet velocity has a minimal contribution to the ratio of t ₁₀/T. However, the ratio of turning channel width to channel width (d/W) significantly contributes to the ratio of t ₁₀/T. The optimal ratio of d/W is 0.8–1.2 for maintaining better plug flow pattern. The number of turning channels is one of the main factors that impact the ratio of t ₁₀/T. When increasing the number of turning channels, a lower ratio of t ₁₀/T is obtained.     

Assessing the Leakage Rates from Punctured Submerged Vessels

The leakage of fluid leaving a puncture in a pressurized vessel immersed in a quiescent, miscible medium is studied under steady flow conditions. This problem has engineering applications in submerged pipelines and hazardous gas lines. The leakage rate for the puncture is characterized as functions of various hydrodynamic and geometric conditions. Dimensional analysis shows that the leakage percent, Q*, is a function of the Reynolds number, the pressure ratio between the center of the tube and the external hydrostatic pressure, P^*, and the hole-to-main tube diameter ratio, D^*. The effect of puncture shape is also examined, rectangular and circular. A 3-D finite volume computational model is constructed for laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid under steady conditions and validated with supporting experiments. The results show that the fractional leakage rate Q* increases with P^* and approaches a constant value at high P^* for a fixed Reynolds number. In addition, it is found that the leakage rate increases with decreasing Reynolds number at a fixed pressure ratio. The geometric effect of the diameter ratio is shown to have a more pronounced effect near a pressure ratio of two with more fluid exiting the puncture for larger diameter ratios. The results of the shape analysis show that the circular puncture has the largest fractional leakage when compared to a rectangle with an equivalent cross-sectional area.     

Do changes in risk-taking affect habitat shifts of sticklebacks?

The distribution of individuals is often the outcome of conflicting demands, such as between predator avoidance and reproduction. A factor that has seldom been considered in studies on habitat choice is time-dependent changes in risk-taking. We investigated the distribution of threespine sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus, over two breeding seasons and found it to change with time towards shallower areas with a more open habitat structure. Shallow and structurally less complex habitats were probably favorable due to a higher reproductive rate, but costly due to an increased risk of predation. Contrary to expectation, changing predation pressure was not a predictor of the shift in habitat use and, thus, not the proximate cue. Instead date was the main predictor. This suggests that increased risk-taking in relation to predation contributed to the habitat shift. The possibility was supported by a laboratory experiment that showed sticklebacks to take larger risks and prefer more predator-exposed areas at the end of the season than at the start of the season. These results demonstrate that temporal changes in risk-taking occur and can influence habitat choice, which points to the importance of considering risk-taking, in addition to predation pressure, when studying the effect of predators on distribution.Communicated by J.

车库内氢气扩散和分布状态的数值模拟

为研究车库内氢气连续性泄漏的浓度分布和聚集状态,采用ICEM-CFD软件建模,利用Fluent软件对氢气连续性泄漏过程进行了模拟。通过分析监测点氢气物质的量分数、氢气分布和可燃性区域体积分数,研究了横梁及其间距(L)、自然通风、通风口面积(A)对车库内氢气的扩散和分布状态的影响。结果表明:在密闭状态下,无横梁时可燃性区域最小,L=3 m时可燃性区域最大;当A=0.5 m2时,在自然通风的作用下,车库底部氢气物质的量分数明显下降,但车库中部和上部氢气物质的量分数与密闭时相近;当A=1 m2时,虽然初始阶段氢气物质的量分数上升很快,但很快就趋于稳定,监测点氢气物质的量分数均在爆炸下限以下,此时自然通风能够消除氢气爆炸的风险。     

Development of an Earthen Dam Break Database

Earthen embankment dams comprise 85% of all major operational dams in the United States. Assessment of peak flow rates for these earthen dams and the impacts on dam failure are of high interest to engineers and planners. Regression analysis is a frequently used risk assessment approach for earthen dams. In this paper, we present a decision support tool for assessing the applicability of nine regression equations commonly used by practitioners. Using data from 108 case studies, six parameters were observed to be significant factors predicting for peak flow as a metric for risk analysis. We present our work on an expanded earthen dam break database that relates the regression equations and underlying data. A web application, regression selection tool, is also presented to assess the appropriateness of a given model for a given test point. This graphical display allows users to visualize how their data point compares with the data used for the regression equation. These contributions improve estimates and better inform decision makers regarding operational and safety decisions.
