    The uniformity of gas-liquid two-phase fluid and the flow distribution relationship in the shell side space of LNG/FLNG large-scale wound tube heat exchanger directly affect its heat transfer performance.To solve this problem,a ring tube distributor suitable for large-scale wound tube heat exchanger was proposed,and an experimental platform for studying the uniformity characteristics was designed and built to study the proportion coefficient and dispersion coefficient of flow in each channel in radial and circumferential directions under different flow conditions,and the fluid distribution under the condition without distributor was compared.The results show that the fluid distribution is more uniform with the increase of flow rate,the uniformity of gas phase distribution is better than that of liquid phase,the circumferential distribution is uniform,the radial distribution decreases from inner to outer two-phase mass flow,the flow rate of the innermost ring is about 1.2 times of that of the outer ring,the volume flow rate of the two phases increases from the inside to the outside,and the flow rate of the outermost ring is about 1.5 times of that of the inner ring.After placing the distributor,the two-phase volume flow dispersion coefficient can be reduced by 64% and the two-phase mass flow dispersion coefficient can be reduced by 57%.The research results can provide a reference for the structural design of the distributor of LNG/FNG large wound tube heat exchangers in order to further improve the uniformity effect.

    For the vibration and noise generated in the cavitation induction process of hydraulic model of mixed-flow pump,the vibration and noise signals of the cavitation induction process of hydraulic model of mixed-flow pump were obtained by using physical test methods in the comprehensive performance test bench for large-size pumps through vibration tests at the inlet and outlet of hydraulic model of mixed-flow pump,between stationary and moving components,and noise tests at the locations of inlet and outlet at four times pipe diameter.The frequency spectrum analysis and characteristic comparison were carried out.The results show that the noise at the outlet of the cavitation induction process of the hydraulic model of mixed-flow pump is significantly higher than that at the inlet,the radiated noise at the inlet gradually increases at first,and then decreases after reaching the extreme value where the head decreases by about 1%.The radiated noise at the outlet increases gradually,decreases after reaching the extreme value,and then increases gradually.The vibration at the inlet is consistent with the noise change law,and the maximum value appears at the point where the cavitation allowance decreases by 20%~25%.There are some differences in change of vibration and noise at the outlet,and the cavitation allowance when the peak vibration intensity appears is smaller than that when the noise pressure level intensity peak appears.The results can provide reference for vibration and noise reduction design of mixed-flow pump,and have practical engineering application significance for real-time dynamic monitoring of cavitation state of water jet propulsion pump.

    Thermal-hydraulic characteristics of microchannel heat exchanger with different fin pitches and surface wettability were investigated under high air velocity and different air inlet humidity conditions.The results show that the microchannel evaporator with hydrophilic surface treatment cannot improve the thermal performance and condensate exclusion effect under wet conditions,but will deteriorate.It has no significant effect on heat transfer colbum j factor.However,the friction factor f on the wind side increases.Under the test conditions,influence of hydrophilic surface treatment on j factor is less than 1%,while the air friction factor increases by 4%~9%.Factors of j and f are insensitive to rariations of in fin density,air humidity,and air veloctiy.Hydrophilic surface could also increase the chance of continuous water-bridge formation,which increases the risk of water carryover.Under normal working conditions,no water carry-over phenomenon was found in bare foil and hydrophilic foil.Under the given high humidity condition,no water carry-over occurred for bare fins with different fin pitches and air velocity,while slight water carry-over was observed for hydrophilic surface with fin pitch of 1.7 mm and air velocity of 4.5 m/s.

    For the problem of poor performance of transcritical CO2 refrigeration system in hot areas,three improved thermodynamic models of CO2 refrigeration system with internal heat exchanger,parallel compression and mechanical subcooling were developed.The operation characteristics of four system configurations including the basic two-stage throttling CO2 refrigeration system were optimized and analyzed.Based on the meteorological parameters of typical Chinese cities,the seasonal and annual performance of the system was evaluated,and the carbon emissions were also evaluated.The results show that the system with internal heat exchanger has the most significant performance improvement at the ambient temperature of 7.0~14.0 ℃.When the ambient temperature is greater than 14.0 ℃,the energy efficiency is improved more obviously when mechanical subcooling system is adopted.The annual performance factor in hot climate is low,using the improved CO2 refrigeration system can significantly enhance the system energy efficiency in hot areas.The system performance improvement ratio is the highest by adopting mechanical subcooling system,with the largest annual performance factor improvement ratio of 18.7% and annual energy consumption reduction of 19.3%.The carbon emissions can be reduced by 19.3% using mechanical subcooling system in Xiamen.

    In order to study the flow separation phenomenon of centrifugal pump under different working conditions,the low specific speed centrifugal pump was used as the research object to explore the flow structure in the pump under different working conditions based on LES numerical calculation,and verify the accuracy of numerical calculation by using the performance test on the closed test bench.It was found that the highest efficiency point of the pump is at the location of about 1.1Qd,and under the designed flow rate,the LES calculation error is less than 1.5%.Based on the distribution characteristics of flow field structure at the outlet of the impeller,the flow separation phenomenon under different working conditions was compared and analyzed,and the changing characteristics of flow separation phenomenon at the outlet in the process of the impeller sweeping the tongue and its influence on the flow field structure in the impeller were obtained.The results show that the flow separation phenomenon appears as reflux formation of the separation bubbles on the blade surface,which makes the flow at the outlet of the impeller present uneven distribution characteristics and strengthens the jet-wake structure.Especially under the condition of low flow,flow separation provides energy for the rotation of outlet vortex,resulting in large area blockage of outlet flow passage,with the blocked area up to about 55%,inducing the hump phenomenon of small flow.

    In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of a large flow centrifugal fan,the influences of the position of the reinforcing disc and the type of the impeller on the structural strength of the impeller,fan performance and pressure fluctuation were studied by using computational fluid dynamics.The results show that compared with the prototype,when the reinforcing disc is centered,the design point efficiency of the fan is increased by 3.9%,the maximum total deformation of the impeller is reduced by 56.5%,and the pressure pulsation of the volute flow domain is reduced by 5.4%.The center installation of the reinforcing disc is beneficial to enhance the structural strength of the impeller,improve the aerodynamic performance of the fan and reduce the pressure pulsation of the volute flow domain.The use of staggered blades can reduce the pressure pulsation of the volute flow domain by more than 70%,which is conducive to the discrete noise control of the fan.However,due to the influence of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation produced by mixing of low and high energy fluid,the aerodynamic loss of the fan with staggered blades is increased,and the amplitude of pressure pulsation in the blade passage is larger.The center installation of the reinforcing disc and use of staggered blades are effective ways to improve the aerodynamic performance of high flow centrifugal fans and reduce discrete noise,but the effect of them on aerodynamic losses needs to be noted.The results of the study can provide a theoretical basis for the design of reinforcing disc for large flow fans.

    In order to understand the distribution and influence of entransy dissipation in the gas cooler,CFD numerical simulation technology was used to establish the model of straight tube casing gas cooler.The heat transfer process between carbon dioxide and cooling water in the supercritical carbon dioxide gas cooler was simulated by numerical simulation method.By changing the operating pressure,temperature,mass flow for numerical simulation calculation and analyzing the entransy dissipation along the tube length,the effects of temperature,mass flow and pressure variation on entransy dissipation of the casing gas cooler were studied.The results show that the entransy dissipation increases with the increase of carbon dioxide inlet temperature,but the change of cooling water temperature has little effect on the entransy dissipation,which can be ignored.With the increase of cooling water mass flow rate,the entransy dissipation decreases,and the entransy dissipation at the inlet of carbon dioxide is the largest relative to the other locations of the casing gas cooler.Compared with the cooling water mass flow rate of 0.03 kg/s,when the cooling water mass flow rate is 0.04 kg/s,the entransy dissipation decreases by 2.6%,and when the cooling water mass flow rate is 0.05 kg/s,the entransy dissipation decreases by 3.2%.With the increase of mass flow of carbon dioxide,the entransy dissipation increases.And with the increase of pressure,the entransy dissipation decreases.The research results can provide new ideas and reference for improving the structure and heat transfer performance of carbon dioxide gas cooler.

    In order to reduce the pressure drop of the hydrocyclone and achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction,the hydrocyclone with slit structure at the bottom of the overflow pipe is designed.The separation performance of conventional(Type Ⅰ),overflow pipe double slit(Type Ⅱ) and overflow pipe single slit(Type Ⅲ) hydrocyclones was analyzed and studied when the inlet flow gradually increased from 780 mL/s to 1 000 mL/s.The test results show that with the increase of the inlet flow rate,the influence of the slit of the conical overflow pipe on the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone decreases gradually,and the pressure drop amplitude increases gradually.When the inlet flow rate is 980 mL/s,the separation efficiency of the two improved hydrocyclones reaches the highest value.Compared with the Type I hydrocyclone,the separation efficiency of the Type II and Type III hydrocyclones are basically unchanged,while the percentage of pressure drop reduction is up to 22.85% and 27.46%,respectively.The energy saving effect is significant.The simulation results show that the axial velocity,tangential velocity and pressure of the improved hydrocyclone have decreased.The slit of the overflow pipe has a greater impact on the axial velocity,while the axial velocity at the center has a significant reduction,and has a smaller impact on the tangential velocity.It provides a basis for further exploring the law of the internal flow field of the hydrocyclone and improving the structure of the hydrocyclone.

    In order to quantify the influence of adding fins outside tube on charging / replenishing process for cold panel with phase change material(PCM) in a refrigerated truck for urban cold chain logistics,the solidification process of RT5 HC was numerically analyzed.The effects of the numbers of fins,fin shape,fin thickness and fins arrangement of adjacent tubes of tube bank in cold panel on charging time and charging efficiency were discussed.The calculation results show that,when setting up fins on the charging tube,the liquid and partially solidified PCM were divided into several small areas,in which the natural convection is strengthened,meanwhile,the phase interface was extended,resulting in the increase of heat transfer area and acceleration of energy transfer.Compared with unfinned tubes in cold panel,the finned tubes shortened the charging time and improved charging efficiency considerably,meanwhile,cold storage capacity slightly decreased.When the number of fins increases from 4 to 6 and 8,the growth rate of ε and εf improves.While number of fins changes from 8 to 10,and the growth rate of ε and εf decreases.The fins with rectangle-section,by contrast,display higher fin efficiency and the value is 3.19.Larger fins thickness causes marginal promotion for charging efficiency;and fins arrangement of adjacent tubes of tube bank in cold panel has little influence on changing process.The above conclusions provide a reference for the design of tubes in cold panel filled with PCM.
