Comprehensive numerical investigations on the thermal performance of heat recirculating micro combustor with pin fins for micro-thermal voltaic system applications

Aiming at improving the relatively low energy output and energy conversion efficiency of the micro-thermal voltaic (MTPV) system, an innovative heat recirculating micro combustor with pin fins is designed. The effects of pin fins arrangement, hydrogen/air equivalent ratio on the energy output and performance of CHMC, HMCP and HMCI are compared and investigated. The result shows that when the V_in is 6 m/s and Φ is 1.0, the emitter power of CHMC is 72.76W, and that of HCMP and HCMI micro combustor are 75.99W and 76.35W. and the emitter efficiency of CHMC, HCMP and HCMI is 41.93%, 43.26% and 44.01%. HMCI has better energy output capability compared with CHMC and HMCP. Even though, HMCI brings a higher pressure drop, it is within the acceptable range. When the V_in is 6 m/s, the pressure drop from the pin fins only accounts for 26.4% of the total pressure drop for HMCI. Through the study of equivalent ratio, it is found that HMCI has good adaptability in different equivalent ratio range. This work provides new ideas for the development of MTPV system in the future.

曲柄销轴断裂分析

对曲柄销轴在采油设备上的安装配合情况进行了调查，在此基础上，分析了销轴在采油设备工作时的受力情况，并通过化学分析、金相检验和扫描电镜等方法对销轴断裂失效进行了分析。结果表明，该销轴在交变偏斜拉应力的作用下，在销轴的应力集中处——退刀槽根部产生疲劳裂纹，最终导致疲劳断裂。另外钢材质量欠佳、组织不良也促进了断裂过程的进行。     

Wear of single crystal silicon as a function of surface roughness

With increasing activities on micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) type microactuators, there is a growing need in understanding the tribological properties of silicon, the most commonly used wafer material for those devices. In particular, it is of interest if single crystal silicon used in microactuators exposed to rather low vertical loads is subject to wear. Therefore, wear tests using monocrystalline silicon on both sides of the tribological interface were conducted.A classic way to measure wear on sliders in contact with a tape or a rotating disk is to create an imprint using a Berkovich diamond tip mounted on a picoindenter. However, in our case we used a different approach. We created three studs on a slider’s surface by recessing the material outside the studs through an ion milling process. During the wear tests, the studs wore off. By measuring the remaining stud height, the wear volume could be determined at any point in time. The tests were performed on a pin on disk tester with a gimbaled slider to realize a flat on flat contact and a rather low normal force of 30 mN.

Numerical study on premixed hydrogen/air combustion characteristics and heat transfer enhancement of micro-combustor embedded with pin fins

Aimed at improving the energy output performance of the Microthermal Photovoltaic (MTPV) system, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the micro combustor. In this paper, micro combustor with in-line pin fins arrays (MCIPF) and micro combustor with both end-line pin fins arrays (MCEPF) were presented to realize the efficient combustion and heat transfer enhancement, and the influence of inlet velocity, equivalent ratio, and materials on thermal performance was investigated. The results showed that pin fins embedding is beneficial to improving combustion, and the combustion efficiency of MCIPF and MCEPF reaches 98.5% and 98.7%, which is significantly higher than that of the conventional cylindrical combustor (MCC). However, with the increase of inlet velocity from 8 m/s to 14 m/s, MCIPF exhibits the highest external wall temperature with a range of (1302–1386 K), while MCEPF maintains the best temperature uniformity. As the inlet velocity increases to 10 m/s, the external wall temperature and temperature uniformity reach the optimum. Besides, under the conditions of different equivalence ratios, both external wall temperature and heat flux increases first and then decreases, meanwhile the temperature uniformity of MCEPF is significantly improved compared with that of MCIPF, they all exhibit the highest external wall temperature with an equivalence ratio of 1.1, and the thermal performance is greatly enhanced. By comparing the heat transfer performance of combustors with different materials based on MCEPF, it is interesting to find that the application of high thermal conductivity materials can not only increase the external wall temperature, but also improve the temperature uniformity. Therefore, materials with high thermal conductivity such as Aluminum, Red Copper and Silicon Carbide should be selected for application in micro combustors and their components. The current work provides a new design method for the enhanced heat transfer of the micro combustor.
