Steel Flow

A new technology of high efficiency concasting based on inner-outer couple cooling of molten steel in a mould has been advanced, that is to set an inner cooling apparatus, U shape pipes, in a mould. The flow status of molten steel in mould with inner cooling apparatus is analyzed by using fluid dynamics analysis software FLUENT, and compared with that without inner cooling apparatus. It is found that the inner U-shape cooling apparatus can make molten steel flow with a lower impact depth which is favourable to inclusion in steel floating up.

An inner-outer coupled cooling technology of molten steel for 1240×200mm slab continuous casting, that is to set an inner cooler—U shape pipes in the mold, is put forward in order to enhance the efficiency of transmitting heat and improve inner structure of billet. The flow status and solidification status of molten steel under coupling flow field and temperature field in inner-outer coupled cooling mold are simulated by using fluid dynamics software, and compare with those in traditional mold. It is found that setting inner cooler in the mold can make molten steel flow status even, which is favorable to floating up of the inclusion, quickening the solidification of steel liquid and improving the quality of billet.

It is becoming increasingly important to understand the mechanism of regulatory elements on target genes in long-range genomic distance. 3C (chromosome conformation capture) and its derived methods are now widely applied to investigate three-dimensional (3D) genome organizations and gene regulation. Digestion-ligation-only Hi-C (DLO Hi-C) is a new technology with high efficiency and cost-effectiveness for whole-genome chromosome conformation capture. Here, we introduce the DLO Hi-C tool, a flexible and versatile pipeline for processing DLO Hi-C data from raw sequencing reads to normalized contact maps and for providing quality controls for different steps. It includes more efficient iterative mapping and linker filtering. We applied the DLO Hi-C tool to different DLO Hi-C datasets and demonstrated its ability in processing large data with multithreading. The DLO Hi-C tool is suitable for processing DLO Hi-C and in situ DLO Hi-C datasets. It is convenient and efficient for DLO Hi-C data processing.

Bypass Ratio

The reduction in specific fuel consumption (SFC) is crucial for small/mid-size cost-controllable aircraft, which is very conducive to reducing cost and carbon dioxide emissions. To decrease the SFC, increasing the bypass ratio (BPR) is an important way. Conventional high-BPR engines have several limitations, especially the conflicting spool-speed requirements of a fan and a low-pressure turbine. This research proposes an air-driven fan with a tip turbine (ADFTT) as a potential device for a high-bypass propulsion system. Moreover, a possible application of this ADFTT is introduced. Thermodynamic analysis results show that an ADFTT can improve thrust from a prototype turbofan. As a demonstration, we selected a typical small-thrust turbofan as the prototype and applied the ADFTT concept to improve this model. Three-dimensional flow fields were numerically simulated through a Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The performance of this ADFTT has the possibility of amplifying the BPR more than four times and increasing the thrust by approximately 84% in comparison with the prototype turbofan.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are good candidates to extract energy from wind in urban areas because they are easy to install, service, and do not generate much noise; however, the efficiency of small turbines is low. Here-in a new turbine, with high efficiency, is proposed. The novel design is based on the classical H-Darrieus VAWT. VAWTs produce the highest power when the blade chord is perpendicular to the incoming wind direction. The basic idea behind the proposed turbine is to extend that said region of maximum power by having the blades continue straight instead of following a circular path. This motion can be performed if the blades turn along two axes; hence, it was named dual vertical axis wind turbine (D-VAWT). The analysis of this new turbine is done through the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) simulations. While 2D is used to validate the methodology, 3D is used to get an accurate estimate of the turbine performance. The analysis of a single blade is performed and the turbine shows that a power coefficient of 0.4 can be achieved, reaching performance levels high enough to compete with the most efficient VAWTs. The D-VAWT is still far from full optimization, but the analysis presented here shows the hidden potential and serves as proof of concept.

Abstract The design and working principle of a miniature reciprocating compressor driven by an electrostatic comb drive is presented and its basic parameters are discussed. The compressor, which is 6 mm in diameter and less than 0.5 mm in thickness, has a simple structure consisting of a compressor chamber, a corrugation diaphragm driven by a vertical comb-drive, and two active micro-valves. Using air as working medium, the simple mechanical system enables a compression ratio of 1.5. With a working voltage of 320V, the device gives flow rates of 2.7 ml/ min. The three-dimensional flow field in the chamber is also simulated using a commercial computational fluid dynamics software.

<p>In Taiwan, arched groundsill is frequently used as soil-and-water conservation structures for stabilizing creek bed, guiding flow direction, decreasing the slope of creek bed and reducing the scour effect. Even though much more arched grounsill was built in wild creek recently, its mechanical mechanism is still unclear.</p><p>In order to explore the characteristics of arched groundsill, this study intends to find out the scale of stress, moment and displacement distribution on the various curvature arched groundsills by means of the structural analysis software, ABAQUS. Simultaneously, the three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics software, ANSYS-FLUENT, is applied to show the flow condition of different setups. Preliminary result shows that the maximum stress and displacement of arched groundsill increase with curvature. The maximum moment decreases slightly firstly and increases sharply later with curvature.</p>

Gas shield Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is an important process method in material processing. Welding quality is vital for the product quality. It is an important way to improve the quality of product by raising the personal capability and handling technique of the welder. In this investigation, because of the deficiency in classic welding training scheme, some new technology were introduced into classic welding training field to improve the efficiency of welding training and reduce training cost. A computer simulation system that can be used to train primary welders was developed combined with three-dimensional stereoscopic vision and API interface of OpenGL, virtual reality is the kernel technology. In this system, welders were trained not in the real operating environment but in the virtual environment where has experience personally effect that simulated by computer. There is unnecessary with welding material and welding energy in virtual environment simulated by computer. It has highly automatic and intelligent and lower required to welding teachers. It is healthy to welder because that intensive arc and harmful dust are disappeared in virtual environment.
