In the past 40 years, more than 7000 layered vessels using flat ribbon-wound cylindrical shells have been manufactured in China. Theoretical as well as experimental investigations show that there are distinct economical and engineering advantages in using such vessels. In this paper, based on the analysis of the heat transfer process in a flat steel ribbon-wound liquid hydrogen high-pressure vessel, a heat transfer model of the walls of the shell and head has been set up. The temperature difference among the interfaces, the heat transfer through the shell and head, and the evaporation rate of the vessel under a steady heat-flow condition has been calculated. The numerical calculations show that such a structure meets the design requirements.

Stress distribution of high pressure vessel wall is not even. How to appropriately distribute stresses on high pressure vessel wall is our goal. It can be realized in flat steel ribbon wound pressure vessel (FSRWPV). The paper shows that stress can be distributed in someway on FSRWPV wall by controlling prestress and winding angle of its flat steel ribbon. An example is given at the end. [S0094-9930(00)00902-1]

Ultra-High Pressure Vessel (UHPV) with self-protective Flat Steel Ribbons (FSR) wound and Tooth-Locked Quick-Actuating (TLQA) end closure is a new type of vessel developed in recent years. When the structural parameters of its TLQA and Buttress Thread (BT) end closure are determined using the ordinary engineering design method, Design by Analysis (DBA) shows that the requirement on fatigue life of this unique UHPV could hardly be satisfied. To solve the above problem, an integrated FE modeling method has been proposed in this paper. To investigate the fatigue life of TLQA and BT end closures of a full-scale unique UHPV, a three-dimensional (3-D) Finite Element (FE) solid model and a two-dimensional (2-D) FE axisymmetric model are built in FE software ANSYS, respectively., Nonlinear FE analysis and orthogonal testing are both conducted to obtain the optimum structure strength, in which the peak stress in the TLQA or BT end closure of the unique UHPV is taken as an optimal target. The important parameters, such as root structure of teeth, contact pressure between the pre-stressed collar and the cylinder end, the knuckle radius, the buttress thread profile and the local structure of the cylinder, are optimized. As a result, both the stress distribution at the root of teeth and the axial load carried by each thread are improved. Therefore, the load-carrying capacity of the end closure has been reinforced and the fatigue life of unique UHPV has been extended.

A unique type of self-protective Ultra-High Pressure Vessel (UHPV) cylinder with helically wound Flat Steel Ribbons (FSR) is proposed. The shielding properties of its self-protection in the hoop and axial directions of a FSR cylinder in the case of fracture failure, as well as quick-actuating of the tooth-locked end closure of this new vessel structure are both expounded. Based on its axial strength, a formula of the ultimate load-carrying capability of FSR layers is derived. The shielding function and self-protective capability of FSR layers to the UHPV cylinder are analyzed quantitatively in detail, and a design criterion is also defined. According to the formula and the design criterion defined in this paper, the predicted ultimate load-carrying capability of the FSR layers is 48.3% higher than that in previous references. Results from burst tests of 6 model vessels show that the brittle failure morphology of UHPV cylinders are changed with FSR layers and the potential hazard of failure of the UHPV is reduced. In addition, the cross fracture of the UHPV cylinder is shielded effectively and the derived formulation on the ultimate load-carrying capability of FSR layers is reasonable. UHPV cylinders designed according to the formula and the criterion can use much fewer FSR layers with the same shielding capability.

Due to phase change materials (PCMs) composition, machining error, measuring error and other factors, the PCMs thermal physical properties, geometric properties, etc are usually uncertain. As a result, phase change heat transfer process is an uncertainty heat transfer process. But at present, heat transfer characteristics research on phase change thermal storage are all based on certainty heat transfer models (Taken uncertainty factors as certainty factors). In this paper, it is considered factors uncertainty influencing phase change thermal storage heat transfer process. By looked on the variation scope of influence factors as "interval number", based on interval mathematics, perturbation method and finite difference method, "interval number" heat transfer model of phase change thermal storage is established. In this model, the uncertainty variables are decomposed into the sum of the nominal value and the deviation value. PCM uncertainty temperature field can be determined by calculated nominal value and the deviation value of PCM temperature field separately. Comparison between simulation results of the model and experimental data implies that it is necessary to consider influencing factors uncertainty in phase change thermal storage heat transfer analysis.

Because of phase change materials (PCMs)’ composition, machining error, measuring error and other factors, the PCMs’ thermal physical properties, geometric properties, etc are usually uncertain. Phase change heat transfer process is an uncertainty heat transfer process. In this paper, it is considered factors’ uncertainty influencing phase change thermal storage heat transfer process. Heat transfer model of phase change thermal storage is established. And the uncertainty phase change heat transfer process is analysis based on Monte Carlo method.
