The two-degrees-of-freedom VIV of the circular cylinder with high mass-ratio is numerically simulated with the software ANSYS/CFX. The VIV characteristic is analyzed in the different conditions (Ur=3, 5, 6, 8, 10). When Ur is 5, 6, 8 and 10, the conclusion which is different from the cylinder with low mass-ratio can be obtained. When Ur is 3, the frequency of in-line VIV is twice of that of cross-flow VIV which is equal to the frequency ratio between drag force and lift force, and the in-line amplitude is much smaller than the cross-flow amplitude. The motion trace is the crescent. When Ur is 5 and 6, the frequency ratio between the drag force and lift force is still 2, but the main frequency of in-line VIV is mainly the same as that of cross-flow VIV and the secondary frequency of in-line VIV is equal to the frequency of the drag force. The in-line amplitude is still very small compared with the cross-flow amplitude. When Ur is up to 8 and 10, the frequency of in-line VIV is the same as the main frequency of cross-flow VIV which is close to the inherent frequency of the cylinder and is different from the frequency of drag force or lift force. But the secondary frequency of cross-flow VIV is equal to the frequency of the lift force. The amplitude ratio of the VIV between in-line and cross-flow direction is about 0.5. When Ur is 5, 6, 8 and 10, the motion trace is mainly the oval.

Fundamental Reason

AbstractThe fundamental reason for the environmental pollution caused by the papermaking industry is the inadequate treatment of the black liquor. How to dispose of the lignin macromolecules, which is the main pollutants in the black liquor, is the key to addressing the environmental pollution. At present, cross-flow membrane filtration is one of the effective ways to retain and recycle lignin macromolecules in black liquor. The paper proposes the adoption of a dynamic blade cross-flow membrane filtration equipment provided by German BOKELA company to treat papermaking black liquor. The experiment shows that when the black liquor is treated with dynamic blade rotation cross-flow, the membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of nanofiltration (NP010) delivers the best retaining effect, with 28 % more lignin in black liquor than that in untreated black liquor. Meanwhile, when the blade rotational speed reaches 300 rpm and the transmembrane pressure is 0.5 or 2 bar, the flux of black liquor through nanofiltration NP010 is relatively desirable.

The main objective of this study is to find a proper solution for the cross-flow water cooling tower problem, also to find an empirical correlation's controlling heat and mass transfer coefficients as functions of inlet parameters to the tower. This is achieved by constructing an experimental rig and a computer program. The computer simulation solves the problem numerically. The apparatus used in this study comprises a cross-flow cooling tower. From the results obtained, the 'characteristic curve' of cross-flow cooling towers was constructed. This curve is very helpful for designers in order to find the actual value of the number of transfer units, if the values of inlet water temperature or inlet air wet bulb temperature are changed. Also an empirical correlation was conducted to obtain the required number of transfer units of the tower in hot water operation. Another correlation was found to obtain the effectiveness in the wet bulb operation.
