Kontaktwechselwirkung einer Rohrleitung mit der Reparaturbandage aus einem Kompositwerkstoff

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Kontaktaufgabe über die Wechselwirkung einer langen Zylinderschale mit einer koaxialen zylindrischen Bandage aus einem Verbundwerkstoff untersucht. Der Verbundwerkstoff wird als ein homogenes orthotropes Material mit bekannten effektiven elastischen Eigenschaften modelliert. Basierend auf der klassischen Schalentheorie werden die Grundgleichungen für die Kontaktaufgabe sowie allgemeine Lösungen für die Durchbiegungen und Schnittgrößen formuliert. Die unbekannten Integrationskonstanten sowie die Kontaktfläche werden numerisch mit Hilfe des Programmpakets Maple ermittelt. Drei charakteristische Längen der Bandage, bei denen der Übergang von einemKontaktschema der Wechselwirkung zu einem anderen erfolgt, wurden ermittelt. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Änderung des Innendrucks nicht zum Übergang von einem Kontaktschema zu einem anderen führt. Der Charakter der Kontaktwechselwirkung wird durch geometrische Parameter derVerbindung und elastische Materialeigenschaften der Schale und der Bandage bestimmt.In the present work the contact interaction of a long cylindrical shell with a coaxial cylindrical wrap made of a composite material is investigated. The composite material is modeled as a homogeneous orthotropic medium with known effective elastic properties. Based on the classical shell theory governing equations for the contact problems and general solutions to the deflections and internal forces are formulated. The unknown integration constants and the contact surface area are determined numerically using the software package Maple. Three characteristic lengths of the wrap, for which the transition from one contact mode to another takes place, have been determined. It was found that the change in the internal pressure does not affect the transition between the contact modes. The nature of the contact interaction is determined by the geometric parameters of the contact pair and elastic material properties of the shell and the repair wra

Thermodynamic Analysis of the Low-Grade Heat Sources for the Improvement in Efficiency of Oxy–Fuel Combustion Power Cycles

Today, most of the electrical energy in the world is generated by fossil fuel incineration. This causes significant emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The noted problem can be solved by switching to power plants with zero emissions, operating in semi-closed cycles, and producing electricity through oxygen combustion of fuel. A significant drawback of most of the known oxygen–fuel cycles is the lack of useful utilization of various sources of low-grade heat, which is especially typical for power plants operating on gasified coal fuel; as a result of the gasification process, a significant amount of excess heat is released into the atmosphere. This paper presents the results of the development and study of oxygen–fuel cycle thermal schemes of increased efficiency with coal gasification. It was determined that the modernization of the scheme using the carbon dioxide Rankine cycle for the utilization of low-grade heat makes it possible to achieve an increase in the net electrical efficiency equal to 1.2%

Влияние технологического натяжения на эффективность упрочнения трубопроводов композитными бандажами

A mathematical model for the contact interaction of a cylindrical pipe with a composite band during its repair is constructed. A system of governing equations of the contact problem is formulated by using the Timoshenko theory of shells. An analysis of possible solutions is carried out for various combinations of geometric and elastic properties of shells. The possibility of pretension of a prepreg in order to improve the efficiency of repair is considered. The numerical results obtained allow one to establish the desired level of pretension for various repair situations

Influence of Kinematic Parameters of Carbon Dioxide Turbine on Its Coefficient of Efficiency and Dimensions

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the environment, the energy sector develops oxygen-fuel energy cycles. One of the most promising cycles is the Allam cycle that features the highest efficiency of electricity generation among all others. One of the main elements of an oxy-fuel energy cycle is a high-temperature carbon dioxide turbine. The turbine’s working fluid and coolant consist predominantly of carbon dioxide at a supercritical pressure. Currently, there are no recommendations in the literature for the design of carbon dioxide turbines for an oxy-fuel energy system (OFES) operating according to the Allam cycle; therefore, there is a need to study the influence of parameters of the flow path of carbon dioxide turbines on its efficiency and overall performance. In this paper, we have presented the results of one-dimensional calculations of a flow path of the carbon dioxide turbine for the Allam cycle with a capacity of 300 MW, with an initial temperature and pressure of 1100 °C and 30 MPa, and an outlet pressure of 3 MPa. The study was carried out by varying the rotor speed, the reactivity level and the average diameter. Based on the results of one-dimensional calculations, we have found that the highest efficiency of the turbine flow path is achieved at a speed of 471 rad/s, a reactivity of 0.5, and an average diameter of 1.1 m for the first stage

Rarely naturalized, but widespread and even invasive: the paradox of a popular pet terrapin expansion in Eurasia

The North American terrapin, the red-eared slider, has globally recognized invasive status. We built a new extensive database using our own original and literature data on the ecology of this reptile, representing information on 1477 water bodies throughout Eurasia over the last 50 years. The analysis reveals regions of earliest introductions and long-term spatio-temporal dynamics of the expansion covering now 68 Eurasian countries, including eight countries reported here for the first time. We established also long-term trends in terms of numbers of terrapins per aquatic site, habitat occupation, and reproduction success. Our investigation has revealed differences in the ecology of the red-eared slider in different parts of Eurasia. The most prominent expression of diverse signs of invasion success (higher portion of inhabited natural water bodies, higher number of individuals per water body, successful overwintering, occurrence of juvenile individuals, successful reproduction, and establishment of populations) are typical for Europe, West Asia and East Asia and tend to be restricted to coastal regions and islands. Reproduction records coincide well with the predicted potential range based on climatic requirements but records of successful wintering have a wider distribution. This invader provides an excellent and possibly unique (among animals) example of wide alien distribution, without the establishment of reproducing populations, but through the recruitment of new individuals to rising pseudopopulations due to additional releases. Therefore, alongside the potential reproduction range, a cost-effective strategy for population control must take in account the geographical area of successful wintering. Graphical abstrac
