Operating data of a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler and three stoker grate (SG) biomass boilers from different pulp mills were analyzed over a 2-year period. The results show that in all cases, the thermal performance decreases markedly from 5.5 to 4 lb steam/lb dry biomass as the feedstock moisture content increases from 40% to 60%. The BFB boiler had better thermal performance, although it operated in a higher moisture content range compared with the SG boilers. Multivariate analysis was also performed on one of the SG boilers to determine operating parameters that affect thermal performance. The results show that furnace temperature, oil flow rate, and induced draft fan current positively correlate with thermal performance, while the feedstock moisture content, total air flow, and excess oxygen (O2) negatively correlate with thermal performance. This implies that when making modifications to improve thermal performance, it is important to take into account correlations among various parameters. In some cases, one positively correlated parameter might cause an increase in a negatively correlated parameter. The net effect might be a decrease in thermal performance.

A new kind of hydraulic motor suitable for the low velocity, large torque, high efficiency and mutable velocity output have been researched and developed in this paper. There are a series of creations, such as, the oil flow distribution, the principle of reducer, the output mechanics and the total structure. It features in the simple in construction, small of size, large ratio of reducer, high f ratio of torque-power, and low in energy consumption. It is suitable for all the occasions with hydraulic supply and all the fields when low velocity, large torque, high efficiency and mutable velocity output ware needed. Such as the construction mechanics, ship mechanics, heavy machine tool, heavy capstan and so on. The frequency of the hydraulic system is about 1000–2000/min, the reduced ratio of the planetary drive of swinging bevel gear is about 20–100, with 150 the maximum. This paper introduced the fundamental principle of the transmission of this mechanics, designed the basic structure of this mechanics, and analyzed the movement and forces.

Abstract Oil flow distribution in Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) plays an important role in the efficiency of machining processes, but it remains challenging to measure experimentally. This paper presents a new method to measure the oil flow distribution in through-channel drill bits based on the reflected light intensity. Measurements were conducted from multiple angles in order to map the flow distribution across the channel cross-sectional area. The method is applied to drill bits of a circular cross-section channel and two helix angles, 0° and 30°. The results show that, for the 0° helix angle channel, the oil concentrates near the periphery of the channel, while for 30° helix angle channel, the oil concentrates towards the center of the drill point. Furthermore, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation was conducted to compare with the measurement results, and it was observed that the oil distribution is correlated to the velocity field. Oil flow concentration is high in low velocity regions. Though preliminary, this study has concluded that the velocity field generated using single-phase CFD is a critical indicator for oil distribution in an MQL flow.

The aim of this paper is to investigate, first, the effects of screens introduced around bearings and, second, the use of protruded instead of flush installed vent pipes. The investigation focuses on the air and oil flow distributions and on the heat transfer in the scavenge and the vent pipes in an aeroengine bearing chamber. The flow distribution has an impact on the pipe’s wall temperature distribution with the likelihood of generating hot spots. High temperatures may cause substantial effects on the health of the lubrication system. Problems may range from oil quality degradation to oil self ignition. A steady state CFD analysis of the heat transfer involving the two-phase air and oil flow in these pipes is performed using the ANSYS CFX package. It was demonstrated that whereas screens around bearings reduce the parasitic losses and vent protrusion reduces the oil flow to the air/oil separator, however, due to the oil flow distribution the thermal effects may lead to high material temperatures and to malfunctions in the engine’s lube system.

Harmonic Problem

Large scale electric vehicles integration into power grid, as nonlinear loads, will pose inevitable impacts on the operation of power system, one of which the harmonic problem will affect the power quality greatly. Firstly, the article analyzes the characteristics of harmonic caused by electric vehicle charging. And then, the harmonic flow distribution is analyzed based on the IEEE standard node systems. During transient analyses, the electric vehicle charging stations connected to electric grid are represented as harmonic sources. Results show that structure and voltage grade of electric grid, capacity and access points of electric vehicle charging load will have different effects on harmonic problem. At last, a few conclusions are given for connecting electric vehicles to electric grid.
