Silane Concentration

This paper presents a numerical model of silicon nanoparticle formation process during silane ( SiH 4) pyrolysis. Aerosol dynamics model, which includes particle growth by surface reaction, coagulation, and transport, was coupled with a chemical kinetics model using CHEMKIN 4.1.1 with particle tracking module (PTM). The general dynamic equation (GDE) was solved by using the method of moment (MOM). The effect of reactor temperature, pressure, total flow rate, and initial silane concentration was successfully investigated under conditions typically used for atmospheric-pressure silane pyrolysis system and we compared the calculated results on particle formation with published experimental data. The simulation results show that particle formation is very sensitive to temperature and initial silane concentration. We observed that numerical simulation results showed a good agreement with experimental data for parameters such as particle concentration, diameter, growth rate, and total volume concentration.

Energy Absorbing

A 7.8m/s vertical drop simulate of a full composite fuselage section was conducted with energy-absorbing floor to evaluate the crashworthiness features of the fuselage section and to predict its dynamic response to dummies in future. The 1.52m diameter fuselage section consists of a high strength upper fuselage frame, one stiff structural floor and an energy-absorbing subfloor constructed of Rohacell foam blocks. The experimental data from literature [6] were analyzed and correlated with predictions from an impact simulation developed using the nonlinear explicit transient dynamic computer code MSC.Dytran. The simulated average acceleration did not exceed 13g, by contrast with experimental results, whose relative error is less than 11%. The numerical simulation results agree with experiments well.

Abstract. This study covers four years of aerosol number size distribution data from Pallas and Värriö sites 250 km apart from each other in Northern Finland and compares new particle formation events between these sites. In eastern air masses almost all events were observed to start earlier at the eastern station Värriö, whereas in western air masses most of the events were observed to start earlier at the western station Pallas. This demonstrates that particle formation in a certain air mass type depends not only on the diurnal variation of the parameters causing the phenomenon (such as photochemistry) but also on some properties carried by the air mass itself. The correlation in growth rates between the two sites was relatively good, which suggests that the amount of condensable vapour causing the growth must have been at about the same level in both sites. The value of condensation sink was frequently much higher at the downwind station. It seems that secondary particle formation related to biogenic sources dominate in many cases over the particle sinks during the air mass transport between the sites. Two cases of transport from Pallas to Värriö were further analysed with an aerosol dynamics model. The model was able to reproduce the observed nucleation events 250 km down-wind at Värriö but revealed some differences between the two cases. The simulated nucleation rates were in both cases similar but the organic concentration profiles that best reproduced the observations were different in the two cases indicating that divergent formation reactions may dominate under different conditions. The simulations also suggested that organic compounds were the main contributor to new particle growth, which offers a tentative hypothesis to the distinct features of new particles at the two sites: Air masses arriving from Atlantic Ocean typically spent approximately only ten hours over land before arriving at Pallas, and thus the time for the organic vapours to accumulate in the air and to interact with the particles is relatively short. This can lead to low nucleation mode growth rates and even to suppression of detectable particle formation event due to efficient scavenging of newly formed clusters, as was observed in the case studies.

Aluminum Alloy 7075

In this paper, an advanced 3D FE model was established using ABAQUS Explicit to simulate the process of milling aluminum-alloy 7075-T7451. Taking the end edge and the side edge of single flute into consideration, the model simulated the interaction between the spiral flute and wokpiece at full depth of cut. In addition, by defining automatic element deletion criterion and locally refining mesh, this model realized chip separating from workpiece without defining of cutting layer. The simulation results were compared with experimental data to verify the correctness of the simulation model.

Simulation Results

Numerical simulation results are shown to determine the heating in liquids when a solar cooker box type with internal reflector is used to this end. The data evaluated correspond to temperature values from bee honey, olive oil, milk and water when they are heated in the solar cooker. The maximum simulation temperatures reached are 91.8, 91.6, 86.2 and 85.3 °C that correspond to bee honey, olive oil, milk and water respectively. A comparative between simulation and experimental results also are shown. The values presented evidence the influence of the specific heat in each fluid considered. In the numerical simulation were used solar radiation and environment temperature values for February 26, 2006 in Mexico City. The experimental data were acquired using an Eppley piranometer and a Field Point device and were used as initial numerical conditions in the simulation. The processing information acquired was made using the LabView 7.0 software.

The Relationship

The paper studies the relationship between axial force and breadth of back blade by numerical simulation and experiment. On the basis of the RNG k-ε turbulence model and technology of compact local grids and regional computing, three dimensional numerical simulations to 100HZ165-250 centrifugal pump with various breadths were carried out. Through comparing and analyzing of the flow field, it can be seen that the axial force reduces with the increase of the back blade breadth. After that, the simulation results were verified by the experimental data got from different test devices, and it shows that the conclusions are reliable.
