A liquid desiccant air dehumidifier (LDAD) with both high efficiency and low desiccant carryover is of vital significance to indoor environment. However, the instability introduced by desiccant film flow tends to deteriorate the droplets entrainment in product air and remains to be solved. In this study, a novel disk-type liquid desiccant air dehumidifier with no film flow (DLDAD) was developed to radically eliminate the apparent desiccant film flow. The distribution and refreshing of liquid desiccant on wetted surface is realized by the rotation of the disks rather than the film flow of liquid desiccant. The performance of DLDAD was numerically evaluated under varied dehumidifier parameters, including stage number, immersion depth, rotation speed and air and solution parameters. The results show that an increase in the stage number can increase dehumidification performance, ensuring the air outlet humidity ratio below 10 g/kg. The dimensionless immersion depth of 0.4 and the rotation speed of 3 r/min are suggested for better dehumidification performance in this case. Increasing solution concentration or decreasing solution temperature can effectively reduce the air outlet humidity ratio. All these results can support the structural design and practical application for LDADs with higher efficiency and lower desiccant carryover in the future.

Miniaturization and high-efficiency plays an important role in the further development of absorption refrigeration. In order to improve the mass transfer efficiency, liquid-gas ejector is intended to be used in refrigeration system. Experimental analysis of effects of non-structural factors on Liquid-Gas Ejector driven by aqueous LiBr solution is presented. Solution concentration, solution temperature, evaporator temperature and back pressure are varied to analyze the ejector performance. The results show that the large difference between refrigerant vapor pressure and partial pressure of solution enhances absorption of water into aqueous lithium bromide solution. The optimal solution concentration range is 56.61wt%~57.61wt% when the throat diameter of convergent-divergent nozzle is 1.5mm. Cooling capacity increases with the decreasing of back pressure.

Computing the sparse fast Fourier transform (sFFT) has emerged as a critical topic for a long time because of its high efficiency and wide practicability. More than twenty different sFFT algorithms compute discrete Fourier transform (DFT) by their unique methods so far. In order to use them properly, the urgent topic of great concern is how to analyze and evaluate the performance of these algorithms in theory and practice. This paper mainly discusses the technology and performance of sFFT algorithms using the aliasing filter. In the first part, the paper introduces the three frameworks: the one-shot framework based on the compressed sensing (CS) solver, the peeling framework based on the bipartite graph and the iterative framework based on the binary tree search. Then, we obtain the conclusion of the performance of six corresponding algorithms: the sFFT-DT1.0, sFFT-DT2.0, sFFT-DT3.0, FFAST, R-FFAST, and DSFFT algorithms in theory. In the second part, we make two categories of experiments for computing the signals of different SNRs, different lengths, and different sparsities by a standard testing platform and record the run time, the percentage of the signal sampled, and the L0, L1, and L2 errors both in the exactly sparse case and the general sparse case. The results of these performance analyses are our guide to optimize these algorithms and use them selectively.

Marine, industrial, turboprop and turboshaft gas turbine engines use nonaxisymmetric exhaust volutes for flow diffusion and pressure recovery. These processes result in a three-dimensional complex turbulent flow in the exhaust volute. The flows in the axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute are closely coupled and inherently unsteady, and they have a great influence on the turbine and exhaust aerodynamic characteristics. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out research on coupled axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute aerodynamics, so as to provide reference for the high-efficiency turbine-volute designs. This paper summarizes and analyzes the recent advances in the field of coupled axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute aerodynamics for turbomachinery. This review covers the following topics that are important for turbine and volute coupled designs: (1) flow and loss characteristics of nonaxisymmetric exhaust volutes, (2) flow interactions between axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute, (3) improvement of turbine and volute performance within spatial limitations and (4) research methods of coupled turbine and exhaust volute aerodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the turbine-volute interactions and performance improvement. We also present our own insights regarding the current research trends and the prospects for future developments.

A complete effort to redesign the aerodynamic characteristics of a single-stage pipeline compressor is presented. The components addressed are the impeller, diffuser region, and the volute. The innovation of this effort stems from the simultaneous inclusion of both the noise and aerodynamic performance as primary design parameters. The final detailed flange-to-flange analysis of the new components clearly shows that the operating range is extended and the tonal noise driven by the impeller is reduced. This is accomplished without sacrificing the existing high efficiency of the baseline machine. The body of the design effort uses both Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and vibro-acoustics technology. The predictions are anchored by using the flange-to-flange analysis of the original design and its experimental performance data. By calculating delta corrections and assuming that these deltas are approximately the same for the new design, the expected performance is extrapolated.

At the present stage of technological development, where low labor intensity are highly valued, high efficiency and representativeness of measurements, a convenient means of storing and processing information, the infrared (IR) thermometry recaptures more and more space. The exact definition of the concrete temperature (with an error of 1 °C or less, usually defined by the sensor) is extremely complicated: Instrumental errors superimposed on the error measurement method used, on the errors associated with the arrangement of the measurement sites, etc. In relative terms, the rates of heating-cooling, in the absolute, the range of allowed temperatures when exposed concrete such accuracy looks obviously excessive and unjustified technically and economically. Considering the IR technique as a means postroechnyh control the concrete temperature, and when performing measurements using its implementation should be tailored to suit the IR measurements and factors that can lead to significant measurement errors. Since these factors can greatly affect the measurement result. Reliability indirect MOTB (method of determining the temperature of the concrete) with pyrometers is achieved by using the calculated accurate according to a certain type of decks and compliance with the measurement rules to ensure the work of this relationship within the allowable range of accuracy.
