Constitutive Model for High Temperature PlasticDeformation of Low Carbon Steel JIN Zhaoyang1,2,CUI Zhenshan1 2010, 44 (04):  437-0441.  Abstract ( 3913 )   Save Based on the analysis of hot deformation behavior, a twostage constitutive model of low carbon steel was developed. In the model, the effect of work hardening and dynamic recovery on the flow stress is described by a onestructure parameter model (dislocation evolution model); the softening effect of dynamic recrystallization is expressed by the Avrami equation. The model parameters are identified by using the experimental stressstrain curves obtained from the hot compressive deformation on Gleeble1500 thermosimulation machine, and then the variation of model parameters with deformation condition are investigated. The calculated flow stress curves agree well with the measured ones, which indicates that the developed constitutive model is applicable to the hot deformation process numerical simulation of the investigated low carbon steel.

Numerical and Experimental Study on the inPlane Rotary Draw Bending Process of a ThinWalled Irregular Tube ZHANG Qingqinga,LI Dayonga,PENG Yinghonga,b,XU Zhiweia 2010, 44 (04):  452-0456.  Abstract ( 4076 )   Save The inplane rotary draw bending process of a kind of thinwalled irregular aluminum tube was studied. Based on the software LSDYNA, a finite element model of rotary drawing bending process for aluminum tube was established, and its reliability was validated by experiment. An evaluation method was proposed to describe the channel distortion of the thinwalled irregular tube with harmonicashaped section. According to the simulation results, the variation laws of the irregular tube channels were revealed. The influences of bending angle, bending radius, clearance between module and tube, and friction on the formability were obtained. The results show that the outside channels are expanded and the inside channels become narrow after the tube bending, and the distortion degree of the channels exhibits a linear distribution. Increasing the bending radius can alleviate the channel distortion, while the bending angle, clearance between module and tube, and friction condition between module and tube have little effect on the channel distortion of the tube.

The pressure of the steadystate working point at x=0 is as much as 80% of the supply pressure for a servovalve with symmetric and even underlaps of the spool valve. But it is less than 80% of the supply pressure for a servovalve with symmetric but uneven underlaps where the underlaps of upstream is less than that of downstream. And it is larger than 80% of the supply pressure for a servovalve with symmetric but uneven underlaps where the underlaps of upstream is larger than that of downstream. Either a pneumatic servovalve with symmetric and even underlaps, or a pneumatic servovalve with symmetric and uneven underlaps has maximal leakage flow rate on neutral position of the spool valve.

TwoAxis Turntable Calibration in ThreeDimensional Structured Light Measurement System HU Minzheng1,2,XI Juntong1,2,3 2010, 44 (04):  506-0511.  Abstract ( 4146 )   Save A new method to calibrate the axes of the turntable was presented based on the measurement data in the structured light measurement system. Two balls were mounted on the turntable by a given mode. Let the two balls circle around the swing axis and measure the two balls at different angles. Get each ball’s data and calculate its center. Each ball’s centers define a circle. The two circle’s center defines the swing axis. The rolling axis at the origin position can be decided in the same way. Then the rolling axis at any position can be calculated easily. So the MultiView can be integrated automatically. The experiments show that this method is simple,efficient and can be used in other measuring system with a turntable. Related Articles | Metrics

Both simulation and experiment show there exist obvious test error and vibration in the PQ curve obtained from the test loading in the openloop way, and a new test method loading in the closedloop way was proposed. As the test system has different requirements for loading when the pump comes to different working phases, an adaptive controller that can adjust control parameters and choose control signals automatically was established, which controls the pressure by PI controller and diminishes the vibration by PD controller. Both simulated and experimental results show that the new proposed test method does well in diminishing the pressure vibration and measuring error of flow, and makes effective progress in the test of PQ curve for electrohydraulic proportional pump.

The composite adsorbent of HNa/αAl2O3, characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDS, and SEM, was prepared by impregnation method, and the desulfurization property of the adsorbent impregnated with ammonia (NH4OH) was studied in a fixedbed quartz reactor. The experimental results show that the HNacoating, which coats onto αAl2O3 fibers impregnated with HNa solution, can improve the property of αAl2O3 support for FGD; the HNacoating on the adsorbent of HNa/αAl2O3 impregnated with ammonia plays an key role in improving the desulfurization property of the αAl2O3. The lost ammonia is decreased and the longer time of high SO2 conversation rate can be maintained, because of the great adsorption capability of HNa. Furthermore, the desulfurization products can be flushed from the αAl2O3 fibers, and made into a compound fertilizer consisting of ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4), ammonium humate and HNa. The regenerated αAl2O3 fibers can be recycled. Related Articles | Metrics

Application of Carbon Nanotube Suspensions in a Micro Grooved Heat Pipe QIN Chao，LIU Zhenhua 2010, 44 (04):  566-0570.  Abstract ( 3781 )   Save An experiment was carried out to study the heat transfer performance of an axially microgrooved heat pipe using water based multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) suspensions as the working fluid. The effects of the MWNT mass concentration and the operating pressure on the evaporation and condensation heat transfer coefficients, the maximum heat flux and the total heat resistance of the heat pipe were investigated and discussed. The experimental results show that MWNT suspensions can apparently improve the thermal performance of the heat pipe and there is an optimal MWNT mass concentration of about 2.0 % to achieve the maximum heat transfer enhancement. The operating pressure has a significant influence on the enhancement of heat transfer coefficients, and slight influences on the enhancement of the maximum heat flux. Under the pressure of 7.45 kPa, the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and the maximum heat flux for the MWNT suspension can be enhanced up most by about 80% and 25% respectively compared to those for water.

Effects of Ca(OH)2 on the Thermal Decomposition of Coal Humic Acid under Conditions of Dry and Wet Mixing YANG Jitao,DING Weihua,HU Guoxin 2010, 44 (04):  578-0583.  Abstract ( 3900 )   Save The effects of Ca(OH)2 on the thermal decomposition of coal humic acid under conditions of dry mixing and wet mixing were studied by means of DTG（derivative thermogravimetry），XRD（Xray diffraction）and SEM（scanning electron microscopy）. The results show that Ca(OH)2 additive has slight effect on the evaporation of the adsorbed water and the decomposition of the function groups from humic acid below 400 °C，whether under condition of dry mixing（i.e.,without the soaking role of H2O）or of wet mixing（i.e.,with the soaking role of H2O）. The mixture of humic acid and Ca(OH)2 under condition of wet mixing，440 °C～610 °C，presents higher weightloss rate than the mixture under condition of dry mixing. When heated up to 738 °C，the maximum weightloss rate of the aromatic nucleus from the humic acid mixture with the role of H2O arrives at 0.215 8 mg/min. It is found that Ca(OH)2 plays the role of the removal of 002 diffraction peak，the CO2 absorption and the catalysis in thermal decomposition of humic acid. What’s more，for the soaking role of H2O，Ca2+ ion is easily and uniformly loaded onto the molecule of humic acid，which is prone to complex reaction. As a result，the catalyse and the thermal decomposition of humic acid are enhanced. Related Articles | Metrics
