Cemented coal gangue-fly ash backfill (CGFB) slurry has commonly been used to control subsidence damage caused by underground coal mining. This paper discusses the characteristics of CGFB slurry fluidity in its pipe transportation. A general description about the components of the CGFB is provided involving the percentage of composition, particle size distribution (PSD) and rheological performance. The CGFB flow characteristics of the slurry pipeline were simulated in a straight pipe and 90° elbow pipe, respectively, combined with the pressure loss and conveying velocity distribution. With the help of the commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code FLUENT, the modeling was conducted with various slurry feeding velocities. These results showed the local resistance loss in a bending pipe is significantly higher than the resistance in a straight pipe under the same conditions associated with CGFB transportation. The velocity distribution of the slurry solid particles in the slurry’s movement forward is more decentralized as the hydraulic inlet velocity increases. Based on these simulation data, a correlation was developed to predict the resistance loss of the CGFB slurry as a function of the hydraulic inlet velocity, pipe diameter and CGFB slurry rheological characteristics.

In coal mine paste filling technology, geomaterials like coal gangue and fly ash are used as the main component, and cement is applied as the cementing material. In the mining production, mining-and-filling is a cyclic work, where the filling immediately after mining and mining immediately after filling. Long solidification time after filling will affect mining; consequently, the paste should have early strength. In addition, the prepared paste will be conveyed to goaf through the pipeline. The paste flow characteristics will change to some extent in the conveying process, and there is uncertainty about whether the paste can meet the requirements of pumpability and strength. Therefore, the influence of pipeline conveying on flow characteristics of paste before filling the goaf should be taken into consideration. Based on the above two points, this paper studies the paste strength, backfill strength, and pumpability parameters in coal mine paste filling and determines the early and later strength of coal mine paste, as well as the pumpability parameters such as slump degree, segregation degree, setting time, and paste gradation. With the determined mass proportion of coal gangue, fly ash, and silicate cement, the orthogonal test was carried out with three factors including gypsum content, the content of early strength agent (Na2SO4), and the mass concentration, and at three levels. The factors affecting paste flow characteristics were determined by range analysis, and the factors affecting the paste’s early strength were determined by the XRD test and SEM test on its microstructure. With paste proportioning and pipeline conveying simulation system, taking slump, segregation degree, backfill strength, and other parameters as indicators, we obtain the influence law of pipeline conveying on the flow characteristics of paste. The research has great theoretical and practical significance for developing coal paste with early strength and its flow characteristics.

The cemented coal gangue-fly ash backfill (CGFB) slurry has commonly been used to control subsidence damage caused by underground coal mining. This paper discusses the CGFB slurry rheological characteristic associated with the various percentage of the fly ash within the configuration of the mixture. A general description about CGFB slurry fluidity in the pipe transportation is provided. The physical, chemical and rheological characteristic of the CGFB have been determined in the test. The fly ash was mixed with 18%, 20% and 22% of solid concentration with respects to 12%, 10% and 8% for cement on various concentrated CGFB slurry ranges 76.05%, 78.05% and 80.05%. The tests verify the CGFB slurry exhibits non-Newtonian behavior in nature as Bingham plastic fluid. The experimental data show CGFB slurry rheological characteristic is noticeable influenced by the slurry solid concentration and the proportion of the fly ash, which affects the value of yield stress and viscosity. The lower value of the rheological parameters was observed on 22 % fly ash other than the 18 % case based on the same solid concentration of CGFB slurry.

AbstractSystems of solid particles in suspension driven by a time-periodic flow tend to create structures in the carrier fluid that are reminiscent of highly regular geometrical items. Within such a line of inquiry, the present study provides numerical results in support of the space experiments JEREMI (Japanese and European Research Experiment on Marangoni flow Instabilities) planned for execution onboard the International Space Station. The problem is tackled by solving the unsteady non-linear governing equations for the same conditions that will be established in space (microgravity, 5 cSt silicone oil and different aspect ratios of the liquid bridge). The results reveal that for a fixed supporting disk radius, the dynamics are deeply influenced by the height of the liquid column. In addition to its expected link with the critical threshold for the onset of instability (which makes Marangoni flow time-periodic), this geometrical parameter can have a significant impact on the emerging waveform and therefore the topology of particle structures. While for shallow liquid bridges, pulsating flows are the preferred mode of convection, for tall floating columns the dominant outcome is represented by rotating fluid-dynamic disturbance. In the former situation, particles self-organize in circular sectors bounded internally by regions of particle depletion, whereas in the latter case, particles are forced to accumulate in a spiral-like structure. The properties of some of these particle attractors have rarely been observed in earlier studies concerned with fluids characterized by smaller values of the Prandtl number.

Abstract Particulate deposits in aero-engine turbines change the profile of blades, increase the blade surface roughness and block internal cooling channels and film cooling holes, which generally leads to the degradation of aerodynamic and cooling performance. To reveal particle deposition effects in the turbine, unsteady simulations were performed by investigating the migration patterns and deposition characteristics of the particle contaminant in a one-stage, high-pressure turbine of an aero-engine. Two typical operating conditions of the aero-engine, i.e. high-temperature take-off and economic cruise, were discussed, and the effects of particle size on the migration and deposition of fly-ash particles were demonstrated. A critical velocity model was applied to predict particle deposition. Comparisons between the stator and rotor were made by presenting the concentration and trajectory of the particles and the resulting deposition patterns on the aerofoil surfaces. Results show that the migration and deposition of the particles in the stator passage is dominated by the flow characteristics of fluid and the property of particles. In the subsequential rotor passage, in addition to these factors, particles are also affected by the stator–rotor interaction and the interference between rotors. With higher inlet temperature and larger diameter of the particle, the quantity of deposits increases and the deposition is distributed mainly on the Pressure Side (PS) and the Leading Edge (LE) of the aerofoil.

Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package has been emerged a promising option to tackle the thermal management issue of micro-electronic devices. In the present study, three dimensional numerical analysis of heat and fluid flow through PLCC packages oriented in-line and mounted horizontally on a printed circuit board, is carried out using a commercial CFD code, FLUENTTM. The simulation is performed for 12 PLCC under different inlet velocities and chip powers. The contours of average junction temperatures are obtained for each package under different conditions. It is observed that the junction temperature of the packages decreases with increase in inlet velocity and increases with chip power. Moreover, the increase in package density significantly contributed to rise in temperature of chips. Thus the present simulation demonstrates that the chip density (the number of packages mounted on a given area), chip power and the coolant inlet velocity are strongly interconnected; hence their appropriate choice would be crucial.
