AbstractA new reduction method for mixture phase stability testing is proposed, consisting in Newton iterations with a particular set of independent variables and residual functions. The dimension of the problem does not depend on the number of components but on the number of components with nonzero binary interaction parameters in the equation of state. Numerical experiments show an improved convergence behavior, mainly for the domain located outside the stability test limit locus in the pressure–temperature plane, recommending the proposed method for any applications in which the problematic domain is crossed a very large number of times during simulations.

AbstractAn alloy with the nominal composition 42Nb-28Ti-30Al (at.%) was heat treated in the sigma + beta phase region. The evolution of σ phase from the metastable β phase and the stability of the two-phase microstructure at various aging temperatures were evaluated using TEM techniques. The results indicate that the β phase in equilibrium with the σ phase at high temperatures decomposes to the orthorhombic phase at temperatures below 1200°C.

The Stability

The effect of lower valent substituents on the stability of the antiferroelectric phase of lead zirconate was studied by dielectric spectroscopy, Sawyer–Tower polarization methods, and electron diffraction techniques. The stability of an intermediate ferroelectric phase region was found to be enhanced with increasing lower valent substitution concentration. The influences of substituents of different ionic size and valence on the stabilization of the intermediate ferroelectric phase were differentiated. In general, lower valent substituents, such as K+ and Fe3+ affected antiferroelectric phase stability more significantly than higher valent ones.

Flash Calculation

Summary On the basis of a previously published reduced-variables method, we demonstrate that using these reduced variables can substantially accelerate the conventional successive-substitution iterations in solving two-phase flash (TPF) problems. By applying the general dominant eigenvalue method (GDEM) to the successive-substitution iterations in terms of the reduced variables, we obtained a highly efficient solution for the TPF problem. We refer to this solution as Reduced-GDEM. The Reduced-GDEM algorithm is then extensively compared with more than 10 linear-acceleration and Newton-Raphson (NR)-type algorithms. The initial equilibrium ratio for flash calculation is generated from reliable phase-stability analysis (PSA). We propose a series of indicators to interpret the PSA results. Two new insights were obtained from the speed comparison among various algorithms and the PSA. First, the speed and robustness of the Reduced-GDEM algorithm are of the same level as that of the reduced-variables NR flash algorithm, which has previously been proved to be the fastest flash algorithm. Second, two-side phase-stability-analysis results indicate that the conventional successive-substitution phase-stability algorithm is time consuming (but robust) at pressures and temperatures near the stability-test limit locus in the single-phase region and near the spinodal in the two-phase region.

Refinement Mechanism

Multidirectional isothermal forging (MDIF) was used on a Ti-44Al-4Nb-1.5Cr-0.5Mo-0.2B (at. %) alloy to obtain a crack-free pancake. The microstructural evolution, such as dynamic recovery and recrystallization behavior, were investigated using electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy methods. The MDIF broke down the initial near-lamellar microstructure and produced a refined and homogeneous duplex microstructure. γ grains were effectively refined from 3.6 μm to 1.6 μm after the second step of isothermal forging. The ultimate tensile strength at ambient temperature and the elongation at 800 °C increased significantly after isothermal forging. β/B2→α2 transition occurred during intermediate annealing, and α2 + γ→β/B2 transition occurred during the second step of isothermal forging. The refinement mechanism of the first-step isothermal forging process involved the conversion of the lamellar structure and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) of γ grains in the original mixture-phase region. The lamellar conversion included continuous dynamic recrystallization and DDRX of the γ laths and bugling of the γ phase. DDRX behavior of γ grains dominated the refinement mechanism of the second step of isothermal forging.

AbstractIn this work, solubility of hydrogen in some alkenes was investigated at different temperatures and pressures. Solubility values were calculated using the Peng–Robinson equation of state. Binary interaction parameters were calculated using fitting the equation of state on experimental data, Group contribution method and Moysan correlations and total average absolute deviation for these methods was 3.90, 17.60 and 13.62, respectively. Because hydrogen solubility in Alkenes is low, Henry’s law for these solutions were investigated, too. Results of calculation showed with increasing temperature, Henry’s constant was decreased. The temperature dependency of Henry’s constants of hydrogen in ethylene and propylene was higher than to other alkenes. In addition, using Van’t Hoff equation, the thermodynamic parameters for dissolution of hydrogen in various alkenes were calculated. Results indicated that the dissolution of hydrogen was spontaneous and endothermic. The total average of dissolution enthalpy ($${\Delta H}^{^\circ }$$ Δ H ∘ ) and Gibbs free energy ($${\Delta G}^{^\circ }$$ Δ G ∘ ) for these systems was 3.867 kJ/mol and 6.361 kJ/mol, respectively. But dissolution of hydrogen in almost of alkenes was not an entropy-driven process.

Jointed Rock Slope

In order to study the failure mechanism and assess the stability of the inlet slope of the outlet structure of Lianghekou Hydropower station, the strength reduction method considering the ubiquitous joint model is proposed. Firstly, two-dimension numerical models are built to investigate the influence of the dilation angle of ubiquitous joints, mesh discretization, and solution domain size on the slope stability. It is found that the factor of safety is insensitive to the dilation angle of ubiquitous joints and the solution domain size but sensitive to the mesh discretization when the number of elements less than a certain threshold. Then, a complex three-dimension numerical model is built to assess the stability of the inlet slope of the outlet structure of Lianghekou Hydropower station. During the strength reduction procedure, the progressive failure process and the final failure surface of the slope are obtained. Furthermore, the comparison of factors of safety obtained from strength reduction method and analytical solutions indicates that the effect of vertical side boundaries plays an important role in the stability of jointed rock slope, and the cohesive force is the main contribution to the resistant force of vertical side boundaries.
