Transitional Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics in a Rectangular Duct with Stagger-arrayed Short Pin Fins

This article describes an experimental study on friction and heat transfer performances of a transitional airflow in a rectangular channel with stagger-arrayed short pin fins. Friction factors, average Nusselt numbers and overall thermal performances of the transitional flow are obtained. The experimental study has showed that the pin fins enhance the heat transfer performance significantly, however increasing the flow frictional resistance considerably. After comparing the experimental results with the published data in references, it can be concluded that, in the transitional flow region, the pin fin channels of the proposed geometrical configuration could lead to a significant improvement of an overall thermal performance; for instance, the convective heat transfer performance is increased by at least 68%. By contrast, in the fully turbulent flow region, the ability of the proposed pin fin channels to increase heat transfer performances decreases as the Reynolds number increases. When Re > 6 000, the overall thermal performance becomes lower than the others.     

Improving performance in pulse radar detection using neuralnetworks

A new approach using a multilayered feed forward neural network for pulse compression is presented. The 13 element Barker code was used as the signal code. In training this network, the extended Kalman filtering (EKF)-based learning algorithm which has faster convergence speed than the conventional backpropagation (BP) algorithm was used. This approach has yielded output peak signal to sidelobe ratios which are much superior to those obtained with the BP algorithm. Further, for use of this neural network for real time processing, parallel implementation of the EKF-based learning algorithm is indispensable. Therefore, parallel implementation has also been developed     

Space technology in developing nations: an assessment

Space technology can make an immense contribution to solving the problems of the world as a whole, and the developing nations in particular. This report summarizes the use of satellites by developing countries in the fields of communications, remote sensing, disaster management and space science. India and China, in particular, have built up impressive capabilities in several of these areas, but the great majority of developing countries still do not have access to this technology. The author addresses a number of proposals to the international community for bringing the satellite revolution to the developing world.     

涡轮盘的破裂分析

某烟气轮机涡轮盘发生了盘缘断裂掉块事故,某航空发动机Ⅰ级涡轮盘也大量发生槽底裂纹的故障。我们对这两个盘的盘体和槽底部分用轴对称和平面8节点等参元有限元法对温度场(包括瞬态温度场)与应力场进行了计算,从而对涡轮盘在不同工作状态下的应力分布及故障原因进行了分析。本文着重阐述冷却条件对于涡轮应力分布是十分重要的,同时,不应忽视轮缘的应力水平,在某特定工作状态下,轮缘的应力值可能远远超过轮心,而且循环的应力幅值也很大,且由于载荷与几何形状的复杂性,在轮缘与榫齿的过渡段上出现较大的应力集中,往往成为裂纹源区;本文最后分析了轮缘残余应力形成及对槽底径向裂纹的生成与扩展的影响。     

利用双焦点激光测速仪测量小型风洞中单个叶型绕流的试验研究

为了验证各种气体动力学数值计算方法的可靠性,在小型风洞中对单个叶型绕流进行了一系列测量,利用双焦点激光测速仪(L2F)和测取叶型表面、壁面静压对全亚声速流场及含有激波的跨声速流场进行了细致的研究,同时还进行了激波振荡现象及探头对流场的影响的研究。获得的结果不仅可以用于检验描述流动的各种数值模型的正确性或可靠性,同时也为进一步发展数值模型提供了实验数据。通过在简单流场中的测量,积累了一些经验,例如激波前后移动现象的判析与处理,有利于今后在复杂流场中的测量。     

Mechanical properties of ANTRIX balloon film and fabrication of single cap large volume balloons

The zero pressure plastic balloons used for high altitude studies are generally made from polyethylene material. Tensile properties of the thin film polymer are the key parameters for material selection due to extremely low temperature of −90 °C encountered by the balloons in the tropopause region during the ascent at equatorial latitudes. The physical and structural properties of the material determine the uniformity of the stress distribution over the entire shell. Load stresses from the suspended load propagate via load tapes heat sealed along with the gore seals as per the balloon design. A balance between this heat seal strength and the film strength is a desirable property of the basic resin in terms of the bubble strength, gauge uniformity, and long-term storage properties. In addition, the design of the top shell of the balloon and its stress distribution play an important role since only a fraction of the balloon is deployed during the filling operation and the ascent. In this paper we describe the mechanical properties of the ‘ANTRIX’ film developed by us and the optimized design of single cap balloons, which have been successfully used in our experiments over the past 5 years.     

V形前缘对激波入射边界层流动影响的数值模拟与分析

为指导V形溢流唇口下游的进气道内部流动分析,采用数值模拟开展V形尖前缘对二维斜激波入射平板边界层流动的影响研究。以气流偏转角6°的二元楔面为基准激波发生器,设计了展向气流收缩角α(0°~60°, 0°对应二元构型)的V形前缘构型,开展对比研究。结果表明,V形前缘构型使得激波入射位置沿展向不均匀、流动具有明显三维特征,并且干扰区壁面压强上升、分离区尺度明显增大。在α=0°~60°范围内,干扰区流动的不均匀程度、分离区尺度随α增大单调增加。进一步分析表明,V形前缘构型干扰具有中间平直、侧边斜掠的耦合入射特性,体现为对称面壁面压强符合自由干扰理论,侧边斜掠入射区参数符合斜掠干扰的锥形流特征。对比二元与α=45°构型的无粘模拟结果,V形前缘会诱导展向两侧对称的斜掠激波、并在对称面相互干扰产生平直的“桥”激波,这使得激波入射位置沿展向不均匀并偏向下游。其中对称面处平直入射激波压升比(2.49)高于二元构型结果(2.24),侧边斜掠激波强度与二元构型基本一致。这些因素综合导致V形前缘构型的分离尺度增大。     

DZ22高温合金复杂应力疲劳强度研究

一、疲劳强度计算方法的建立　　定向凝固镍基高温合金 DZ2 2是一种正交各向异性材料 ,对于各向异性材料 ,由于偏轴向拉剪和剪拉耦合的存在 ,形状改变与体积变化无法分开 ,仅考虑剪切应变能不足以说明各向异性材料的失效 ,还需要考虑体积改变能。据此认为 Tsia- Wu理论 [1 ] 较 Hill理论 [2 ] 更能有效地反应各向异性材料的失效 ,并根据 Tsai- Wu理论导出一个疲劳强度的计算方法。Tsai- Wu假设各向异性材料在应力空间中的破坏表面可表示为一个高阶张量多项式 ,并提出了以二阶张量多项式为破坏准则的计算方法 ,即Fijσiσj+ Fiσi =1 ( …
