Effective Specific Heat

Measurements have been made of the concentration of dimers produced during the expansion from a supersonic nozzle. The gases studied were: Ar, N2,O2, CO, CO2, C2H4, and N2O. It is shown that an effective specific heat ratio of the expanding gas offers a means of correlating the dimer concentration in terms of the source gas pressure and temperature. The two nozzles employed had opening diameters of 0.14 mm and 0.065 mm. An attempt to obtain a universal dependence for all gases in terms of reduced source parameters was partially successful. Source temperature was varied between 90 °K and 295 °K.

The Impact

The practical requirements of the project the nozzle entrance temperature is high, the gas specific heat ratio varies greatly, so it must consider the specific heat ratio change impact on two-dimensional nozzle contour design. Divided into consideration specific heat ratio change and not consider two kinds of scheme design of 1.4Ma nozzle profile and build the model using the arc line method, numerical simulation is carried out through the CFD software Fluent, analysis of two kinds of design scheme comparison. The results show that, in the supersonic nozzle at low Maher numbers, two schemes of nozzle design profile similarity, parameters change little flow tube, export the Maher number and the flow quality can meet the design requirements, proof of specific heat ratio has little effect on the design results in the design of the nozzle under the condition of low Maher number.

Good Agreement

According to a new theory based on energy balance, the radius ratio Yp/Yo of a constant-current plasma pinch depends only on the value of the effective specific heat ratio y of the pinched plasma. In this paper the value of y for argon is computed as a function of temperature. From these values the constant-current pinch ratios are computed. The results show argon pinch ratios of about o� 08 from (2-4) x 106 K, rising to 0�18 at 1�1 x 107 K and to O� 27 at 108 K. There is good agreement between this theory and an Imperial College measurement of Y o/ro ~ 0 �17 for a constant-current argon pinch at an estimated temperature of 1 keY.

This study aims to find out cooling characteristics of TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound with ethanol such as supercooling, phase change temperature and specific heat. For this purpose, ethanol is added as per weight concentration and cooling experiment is performed at -6, -7 and -8, cooling heat source temperature, and it leads the following result. (1) Phase change temperature is decreased due to freezing point depression phenomenon. Especially, it is minimized as 5.1 and 5.0, 3.8 according to cooling source temperature in case that 0.5wt% of ethanol is added. (2) If 0.5wt% of ethanol is added, average supercooling degree is 0.9 and minimum supercooling is 0.8, 0.7 according to cooling heat source temperature. The restraint effect of supercooling is shown. (3) Specific heat shows tendency to decrease if ethanol is added. It is 3.013~3.048 kJ/kgK according to cooling heat source temperature if 0.5wt% of ethanol is added. Phase change temperature higher than that of water and inhibitory effect against supercooling can be confirmed through experimental study on cooling characteristics of TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound by adding additive, ethanol.

Gas Turbine Cycle

One of the concepts proposed for capture of CO2 in power production from gaseous fossil fuels is the semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle. The semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle has a near to stoichiometric combustion with oxygen, producing CO2 and water vapor as the combustion products. The water vapor is condensed and removed from the process, the remaining gas, primarily CO2, is mainly recycled to keep turbine inlet temperature at a permissible level. A model for predicting transient behavior of the semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle is presented. The model is implemented in the simulation tool gPROMS (Process System Enterprise Ltd.), and simulations are performed to investigate two different issues. The first issue is to see how different cycle performance variables interact during transient behavior; the second is to investigate how cycle calculations are affected when including the gas constant and the specific heat ratio in compressor characteristics. The simulations show that the near to stoichiometric combustion and the working fluid recycle introduce a high interaction between the different cycle components and variables. This makes it very difficult to analytically predict the cycle performance during a transient event, i.e. simulations are necessary. It is also found that, except for the shaft speed calculation, the introduction of gas constant and specific heat ratio dependence on the compressor performance map will have only a minor influence on the process performance.
