Traditional method for measuring liquid level of absorption tower in wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system is introduced in this paper, and it's found that measuring accuracy of the method exists in large deviation. A new method is proposed to measure liquid level of absorption tower for this situation. The local test results show that not only measurement result of new method is more close to the actual liquid level than traditional method, but also using new method can save operation cost and ensure the safety, stability, and economic operation of WFGD system.

Abstract A new method is described by which the Prandtl number and indirectly the thermal conductivity of fluids can be measured. The method is based on the fact that a well-established, unique relation exists between the Prandtl number and the recovery factor for laminar high-velocity boundary-layer flow. The test setup is described which has been devised for such measurements, and test results are presented for air at atmospheric pressure and temperatures between 60 and 350 F.

The Way

“It remains a mystery why the international profession still uses the awkward e-log p plots, and the incomplete and useless coefficient Cc which is not even determined from the measured data, but from a constructed line outside the measurements”. These are the words of Nilmar Janbu (1998). This paper does not solve the mystery; what it does is highlight the issue behind the mystery in the hope that the profession will face up to the defects of the log scale. An examination is made of oedometer test results when plotted to both scales. Examples are given for sedimentary and residual clays, and sands. It is shown that the e-logp plot routinely produces graphs from which pre-consolidation pressures or yield pressures can be determined. However, when plotted using an arithmetic (linear) scale, this apparent pre-consolidation or yield pressure is found, in most cases, to disappear. It is a false value created by the way the data are plotted. The paper does not deny that pre-consolidation or yield pressures exist in many soils; it gives examples for each of the soil types listed above. It is recommended that the term “yield pressure” be used in preference to “pre-consolidation pressure”, and that only the use of a linear scale will reveal whether such a pressure exists.

In this study, the effects of the specimen preparation method, temperature, and duration of the extraction step for the determination of the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand were investigated. The results demonstrated that increasing the heating temperature and duration promoted the dissolution of chloride, where the maximum value was obtained at 80°C and 60 min. Hot water extraction (80°C/60 min) could eliminate the effects of different specimen preparation methods on the final test results. Therefore, a new method was developed with drying at a temperature of 110 ± 5°C and hot water extraction at a temperature of 80°C for 60 min. The suitability of the new method for determining the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand was verified by testing the extracted specimens again. The results indicated that the chloride in sea sand dissolved fully with the new method, and thus it is suitable for testing the water-soluble chloride content of sea sand. Finally, the organic and inorganic compositions of the film adsorbed on the surface of sea sand were studied based on thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, ion chromatography, and total organic carbon measurements. The results indicated that a layer of substance (a multi-substance film) was adsorbed onto the surface of sea sand. This layer comprised inorganic salts (such as Cl–, Na+, Mg2+, SO42–, and Ca2+) and organic compounds, which were related to the composition of sea water. The multi-substance film greatly affected the dissolution and diffusion of chloride in the sea sand. Hot water extraction accelerated the dissolution of the film and increased the test results in terms of the water-soluble chloride contents.

Snow Water

Hydraulic conveying of snow is one of the most promising techniques for snow removal from an urban area. The method for measuring the fraction of snow in a snow-water mixture flowing in a pipe is a key technique for its practical application. A new method based on the conductometric method has been developed in this study. The method was tested using a prototype snow-fraction meter in a testing apparatus and a closed pipeline system. This type of meter has the advantage of in situ measurement of a wide fraction range from zero up to packed value. The meter is capable of quick response, independent of flow velocity or snow properties and nonintrustive in flow. This paper describes the application of techniques for the development of the meter and the test results. This new method is expected to be useful for hydraulic conveying of ice particles or ice cubes, a new technology in the air-conditioning field.

This study discusses the use of concept map tool as a new method for teaching translation (from English language to Arabic language). This study comprised 80 students divided into two groups. The first group was taught the new vocabulary by using the concept tool method, whereas the second group was taught the new vocabulary by the traditional method. Pre-test and test of homogeneity was administered in order to ensure the equivalence of the students. During the training, the two groups were subjected to evaluation tests (first, second and final) in which the students were asked to summarize text into a paragraph by translation. The differences between the two methods were compared by using t-test. Results of pre-test indicated that the difference between the two groups was not significant and the scores were linearly distributed. Results of students’ scores between the two groups for the first exam was not significant, however, the difference between the two groups for second, final and total scores was significant. It was seen that the introduced method of text translation improves the student skills compared with the traditional method.

In certain survey applications the effect of deflection of the vertical cannot be ignored without producing large systematic errors. To avoid this problem some method of determining deflection, or change in deflection, must be used. A new method to determine change in deflection, the astrogeodetic difference method, is described. Field test results confirming the accuracy of the method are given. A cost estimate is made and potential applications are briefly discussed.

Purpose – One of the major shortcomings in the data process of the traditional wheel force transducers (WFTs) is the theoretical errors of initial value determination. A new method to identify the initial values of the WFT for the solution of this problem is proposed in this paper. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – With this method, the initial values can be obtained by equations which are established based on multiple stops on horizontal road. Findings – The calibration and contrast tests on the MTS calibration platform illustrate the better performance with the new method. Moreover, the real vehicle test confirms the effectiveness in practice. Originality/value – The test results show that the new method of initial calibration has an advanced performance compared to the traditional one. In addition, it is effective in the brake test with a real vehicle.

The Impact

The inertial vibration of the force measurement system (FMS) has a large influence on the force measuring result of aircraft, especially on some tests carried out in high-enthalpy impulse facilities, such as in a shock tunnel. When force tests are conducted in a shock tunnel, the low-frequency vibrations of the FMS and its motion cannot be addressed through digital filtering because of the inertial forces, which are caused by the impact flow during the starting process of the shock tunnel. Therefore, this paper focuses on the dynamic characteristics of the performance of the FMS. A new method—i.e., deep-learning-based single-vector dynamic self-calibration (DL-based SV-DSC) of an impulse FMS, is proposed to increase the accuracy of aerodynamic force measurements in a shock tunnel. A deep-learning technique is used to train the dynamic model of the FMS in this study. Convolutional neural networks with a simple structure are applied to describe the dynamic modeling so that the low-frequency vibration signals are eliminated from the test results of the shock tunnel. By validation of the force test results measured in a shock tunnel, the current trained model can realize intelligent processing of the balance signals of the FMS. Based on this new method of dynamic calibration, the reliability and accuracy of force data processing are well verified.

An approximate analytical large deformation method, based on the Nadai deformation theory, for calculating the burst speed of aeroengine disks, is presented in this paper. The basic equations are developed and the calculation procedures are illustrated. The burst speeds are calculated for some tested disks, and the calculation results are compared with the test results; the differences between two results are shown to be less than 8 percent. This shows that the new method is both simple and convenient. Therefore, it could be employed in the development of aeroengine disks.
