Explosive Combustion

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated that gas phase explosive combustion can lead to nanoparticle aerosols with sufficiently large volume fraction to cause a volume spanning gel to form on the order of ten’s of seconds. The term “aerosol gel” was coined to name these materials. So far we have made aerosol gels of carbon and silica. These aerosol gels are similar to well-known, liquid-phase, sol-gel synthesized aerogels.

Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation shows that fibula bone is a kind of bioceramic composite consisting of hydroxyapatite layers and protein matters. The hydroxyapatite layers are further composed of hydroxyapatite sheets. The observation also shows that the hydroxyapatite sheets possess quite large volume fraction and also have very long and thin fiber shape. The mechanism of the large volume fraction of the hydroxyapatite sheets to ensure the larger elastic modulus of the bone was investigated based on the model of the bone composite and the theory of the composite mechanics. The investigated result reveals that the large volume fraction of the hydroxyapatite sheets endows the bone with large elastic modulus.

The microstructure of three dilute Mg-Mn and two dilute Mg-Zr alloys which had been heat treated at different temperatures and times were studied using optical microscopy and various electron optical techniques, including FEGSEM and TEM. It was found that the Mg-Zr alloys homogenized at 500°C and annealed at 350°C contained a fine dispersion of Zr-containing particles at grain boundaries and within grains. In contrast, annealing Mg-Zr alloys at 300°C for up to 3 h led to little modification of the as-cast structures. When the Mn content was less than 0.9 weight percent, homogenization of the Mg-Mn alloys at 550 to 600°C resulted in the dissolution of small rod-like and needle-shape particles, which then grown up as fine particles when aged at 300°C. Mg- 0.6Mn and Mg-0.9Mn alloys annealed at 300 to 400°C without solution treatment contained a large volume fraction of nano-sized precipitates.

Liquid Separator

A 3D computational fluid dynamics investigation of particle-induced flow effects and liquid entrainment from an industrial-scale separator has been carried out using the Eulerian–Lagrangian two-way coupled multiphase approach. A differential Reynolds stress model was used to predict the gas phase turbulence field. The dispersed (liquid) phase was present at an intermediate mass loading (0.25) but low volume fraction (0.05). A discrete random walk method was used to track the paths of the liquid droplet releases. It was found that gas phase deformation and turbulence fields were significantly impacted by the presence of the liquid phase; these effects have been parametrically quantified. Substantial enhancement of both the turbulence and the anisotropy of the continuous phase by the liquid phase was demonstrated. It was also found that a large number (⩾1000) of independent liquid droplet release events were needed to make conclusions about liquid entrainment. Known plant run conditions and entrainment rates validated the numerical method.
