Effect of protrusion amount on gas ingestion of radial rim seal

In this paper, the effect of different amount of protrusion on various parameters in rotor–stator system was experimentally studied by measuring CO₂ concentration and pressure, in order to obtain the optimal protrusion amount. The parameters of different dimensionless sealing flow were measured under the condition that the annulus Reynolds number was 4.39 × 10⁵ and the rotating Reynolds number was 1.05 × 10⁶. The results show that the change of the amount of protrusions has little effect on the static pressure in the cavity, and the static pressure change near the sealing ring is almost negligible. But the total pressure and sealing efficiency increase first and then decrease with the increase of the amount of protrusion. The variation of power consumption is the same. A complex vortex structure will appear at the high radius region when the protrusion is installed. On the other hand, the protrusion can effectively reduce the minimum sealing flow of the rotor–stator cavity. Furthermore, considering the sealing efficiency and power consumption, the best range of the protrusion amount is about 36. The ratio near this range can optimally balance the alleviation of the gas ingestion and the reduction of the power consumption.     

Flow mechanism between purge flow and mainstream in different turbine rim seal configurations

The rim seal is used to prevent mainstream ingestion to the gap between the vane of a turbine and its blade. In this article, the dolphin lip with a hook configuration and a large seal cavity with hook structures are designed based on the high-pressure turbine datum single shark lip rim seal configuration. The sealing effect and parameters of the flow field are measured by an experiment method and a numerical simulation is used to explain the mechanism. For three configurations, the effect of the leakage slot vortex on the efficiency of the seal and the influence of leakage vortex, generated by the interaction between purge flow and mainstream flow, are discussed in depth. The result shows that the reverse vortex formed by the dolphin lip rim seal with hook structure will increase the sealing efficiency. The seal configuration with a large cavity improves sealing efficiency to a greater extent than the datum structure. At different purge flow rates and with unequal seal structures, the purge flow produces three types of leakage vortices in the passage. Besides, the seal configuration with dolphin lip produces a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the interface of the purge and the mainstream flows at a low purge flow rate to induce new leakage vortex branches in the passage of the blade.     

Effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of brush-labyrinth seals at various operating conditions

Over the last few decades, the research on the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals is not sufficient. To this end, two kinds of brush-labyrinth seals for the bristle pack element installed upstream of the labyrinth teeth named BSU and installed downstream of the labyrinth teeth called BSD were used to investigate the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals. Using the numerical model combining the porous medium model and the whirling rotor method, the rotordynamic characteristics of the BSU and BSD at various operating conditions including four kinds of pressure ratios, five kinds of inlet preswirl speeds and four kinds of rotor spinning speeds were conducted. The obtained results show that the effects of operating conditions on rotordynamic coefficients for the different seal configurations are different. The direct stiffness, cross-coupled stiffness and direct damping of the BSU are lower than those of the BSD. The rotordynamic coefficients of the BSU are more insensitive to the operating conditions variation. From the perspective of the seal stability, the BSU is a better brush-labyrinth seal configuration at high pressure ratio, high positive preswirl or high rotor spinning speed conditions. While in the case of low pressure ratio, low positive preswirl or low rotor spinning speed conditions, the BSD is a better choice.

A systematic spatial bias in remembering eye positions

Categorical bias in location memory in geometric spaces is well established. The present study assessed the presence of the bias in locating eyes in images of human faces. Participants were presented with digital faces and indicated the position of one of the eyes in both upright and inverted orientations. Biases resulted from participants using multiple sources of accessible information. No differences were found for upright vs. inverted face images. Overall, the data were consistent with the retrieval category adjustment model. These distortions may be considered within the forensic context, when eyewitnesses work with a sketch artist or use a computer program to generate an image of the culprit.

对减压腔轴向宽度分别为0、04 mm和06 mm的基本型和两种低滞后刷式密封结构进行了静态和动态下压差升降和转子转速升降循环试验,并对其泄漏特性和滞后效应进行了研究。研究结果表明:压差大于02 MPa后,同一压差下的动态泄漏系数比静态降低约14%~20%;低滞后结构的密封性能优于基本型,其泄漏系数最高比基本型降低约20%;静态压差升降循环中,减压腔轴向宽度为06 mm的低滞后结构的滞后效应最强;动态的压差升降循环中,基本型结构的滞后效应最强。转子转速升降循环前后,w为06 mm结构泄漏系数减小约15%,滞后效应最强,减压腔轴向宽度为04 mm结构几乎不存在滞后效应;三种结构中,减压腔轴向宽度为04 mm的结构密封性能最优,滞后效应也最弱。     

两次载荷分流齿轮传动构型的静力学均载特性

为改善面齿轮-圆柱齿轮两次载荷分流传动构型的均载特性,考虑齿轮的中心偏移、轴与轴承的承载变形等因素,依据构型的变形协调条件和力矩平衡方程,建立了传动构型的静力学模型,研究了轴的扭转和支撑刚度对均载特性的影响。结果表明:输入轴扭转刚度对均载特性几乎没有影响;分扭轴扭转刚度取合适的比值,则面齿轮分扭传动级可获得较好的均载特性,但圆柱齿轮分扭传动的均载特性几乎无变化;减小双联齿轮轴扭转刚度或增加双联轴支撑刚度可提高该构型的均载特性。因此,为提高该传动构型的均载特性,轴的扭转刚度和支撑刚度需采用参数匹配的设计方法。
