A model suitable for wall-flow particulate filters with partial rear plug damage is developed and experimentally validated in this work. A ceramic filter with 16% of the rear plugs mechanically removed is tested at steady-state conditions on the engine bench and transient driving cycle conditions on the chassis dynamometer. After decanning of the monolith, destructive analysis is conducted to identify deposit loading variations and scanning electron microscopy is used to study the deposit structures in the channels. It is shown that channels without rear plugs develop distinct deposit structures in the entry zone. Hence, a local pressure loss coefficient is applied to model the effect of entrance flow constrictions, taking also into account deposit restructuring phenomena at higher flow rates. In addition, a deep-bed filtration submodel is used to capture the effect of non-uniform wall velocities on deposit accumulation in the wall. The modified model is first fitted to the engine bench data and then validated in a wider range of conditions using the driving cycle tests. With the exception of prolonged steady-state loading conditions, good pressure drop and filtration efficiency predictions are obtained throughout the tests in conjunction with correct deposit property profiles. Notably, the cold-start worldwide harmonized light vehicles test cycle shows that the current European on-board diagnosis threshold limit for particulate mass is too relaxed to trigger a malfunction indication for moderate filter faults. In conclusion, the model can be applied in damaged particulate filter studies for the assessment of leaked particulate mass, the specification of more effective legislation limits and the development of rigorous on-board diagnosis systems and algorithms.

For the wide application in the field of filtration and bio-medicine, the purpose of this study is to design a spinneret module of electro-spun which can produce composite nonwoven with sub-micrometer fiber continually. Applying the principle of melt-blown, a spinneret module with line-type and multi-holes which was assembled with small beads and filtering net, was designed. In order to construct a continual electro-spun production line, a traversal device was designed to control the traverse-motion of spinneret module for the even lapping and a stainless plate was adopted as collecting plate. In condition of 41KV working voltage, 0.3573 mL/min throughput and 42cm CSD (Capillary-Screen-Distance), a continual PEO nonwoven can be produced with average fiber diameter of 576nm and of CV% 13.4%. To a sampling area of 10cm×10cm and basis weight of 7.257 g/m2 electro-spun nonwoven, the CV% of gray level of its image is 2% and its filtration efficiency is up to 91.2% with pressure drop 13.8mm-H20 by TSI 8130 (32LPM, 5% NaCl).

Rotary disc filter is widely used in industrial water treatment. There are two methods to improving the filtration efficiency, which are the higher filtration velocity and lower filtration pressure drop; while the type of the filter disc plays an important role on the performance of filtration, In order to know how the filter disc affect performance of filtration, simplified model was used. On this basis, rectangular and triangular type was numerically simulated with the CFD software Fluent, DPM model, then the flow field configuration, velocity magnitude, pressure drop through the filter medium and the distribution of the particles were obtained. Then, the simulation results were analyzed and the conclusion was achieved that was under the same operation condition and porous parameters. Filter disc with a triangular type has greater advantages than the one with a rectangular type in the aspects of lower pressure drop, velocity distribution uniformity and particle distribution, which can highly improve the filtration efficiency.
