储氢合金的PCT曲线和氢化动力学性能是描述合金储氢性能的重要标准,目前对合金的PCT曲线测试一般采用体积法,对合金氢化反应动力学的研究一般采用等容差压法。但在实际生产过程中,储氢合金通常是在恒定氢气流速的情况下工作的,所以研究合金在恒定氢气流速条件下的吸氢动力学性能很有必要。与实验相比,采用数值模拟预报合金的吸放氢性能节省了大量的时间和成本,具有突出优势。目前金属Pd及其合金被广泛应用于储氢及氢气纯化等领域,我们通过COMSOL软件建模,构建Pd吸氢热力学与动力学特性模型,选用传热、流体流动、域常微分等物理场模块建立了Pd在恒定氢气流速下吸氢动力学的计算模型 ... Read More

煤炭地下气化就是将处于地下的煤炭直接进行有控制的燃烧,通过对煤的热作用及化学作用产生可燃气体的过程。煤炭地下气化过程中,随着气化工作面的扩展,燃空区范围不断扩大,煤层顶板产生裂隙甚至发生冒落,对地下气化稳定运行造成不确定影响。相较于常规井工开采造成的顶板垮落,气化过程会产生大量热,顶板在煤层温度场高温作用下因热膨胀产生热应力,改变顶板内热应力的分布,同时温度会对顶板岩石的抗压强度、抗折强度、比热容、导热系数等造成影响。研究随着燃空区的逐渐扩展,顶板在温度影响下的应力场分布,对研究煤炭地下气化过程中的顶板冒落规律有重要意义。 ... Read More
