Bulk modulus of hydraulic oil represents the resistance of hydraulic oil to compression and is the reciprocal of compressibility. The bulk modulus is a basic thermodynamic property of hydraulic oil that has a very important influence on work efficiency and dynamic characteristics of hydraulic systems, especially for the hydraulic systems at ultra-high pressure or ultra-high temperature. In this study, a bulk modulus experimental equipment for hydraulic oil was designed and manufactured, two types of hydraulic oil were selected and its isothermal secant bulk modulus were measured at pressures to 140MPa and temperatures of 20~180°C. Compared the experimental results with the calculated results from the prediction equations of liquid bulk modulus that proposed by Klaus, Hayward, and Song, it is found that the experimental results are not completely identical with the calculated results.

The fact that many of the giant hydrocarbon reservoirs, such as the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia and the Grosmont formation in Alberta, are formed from carbonates make these rocks important research topics. Compressional and shear wave velocities (at 1 MHz) and the quasi-static strains of thirty seven carbonate rock samples were measured as functions of saturating fluid and confining pressure. Furthermore, P- and S-wave velocities of the saturated samples were measured at constant differential pressure of 15 MPa. The quasi-static strains of the samples under jacketed and unjacketed conditions were also simultaneously acquired. The lithology, mineralogy, porosity and pore type and size distribution of each sample were obtained using a combination of thinsection and scanning electron microscopy, helium porosimetry and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Due to the lack of closing microcracks and compliant pores in low porosity samples, the travel times show slight changes with the confining pressure. Whereas the high porosity samples show remarkable reduction of travel time with the increase of confining pressure in both P- and S-wave. The samples show no changes in travel time with increasing confining pressure under constant differential pressure, and this behavior is taken to be representative of full saturation of the sample and hence used as a measure of quality control. The comparisons of Biot, Gassmann, squirt-Biot and squirt-Gassmann model predictions with the measured water saturated velocities show that the squirt mechanism is not active on all the studied samples. Biot mechanism is likely to be the principle dispersion mechanism in these samples. For S-wave velocities, Gassmanns model consistently over-predict the saturated at low pressure and closely fit the measured velocities at high pressure, whereas, Biot model over-predicts the saturated velocities in most of the studied samples. The strains over the horizontal axis are higher than the vertical axis suggesting that the majority of the compliant pores and crack-like pores are oriented almost in direction parallel to the length of the sample. The static bulk modulus is always lower than dynamic one for all measured samples. The measured grain bulk modulus is reasonably close to the bulk modulus of the constituent mineral. / Geophysics

This paper describes an investigation into the effects of fluid bulk modulus and traction coefficient properties on piston pump flow losses and radial pison motor torque losses through experimentation, modelling and simulation. Synthetic ester, high bulk modulus, multi-grade, and single grade mineral oils were evaluated. The high bulk modulus fluid exhibited 20% lower pump case and compensator flow losses than a conventional mineral oil of the same viscosity grade. Low traction coefficient fluids reduced the lowspeed torque losses of the radial piston motor by 50%. Physical models for pump case flow and motor torque losses were derived from the experimental data. Field data was collected from a hydraulically propelled agricultural machine. This data was used to model fluid performance in the machine. The simulation results predict that at an operating temperature of 80⁰C, optimizing the bulk modulus and traction coefficients of the fluid could reduce flow losses by 18% and torque losses by 5%. These findings demonstrate the potential of combining comprehensive fluid analysis with modeling and simulation to optimize fluids for the efficient transmission of power.

In this study, the mechanical properties of Cu-Zr binary bulk metallic glasses (BMG) were investigated at the nano-scale. The stable amorphous structures and corresponding energies of BMG structures are performed by density functional theory (DFT) calculation as reference data. This study will combine the Force-Matching (FM) method and Basin-Hopping (BH) method to develop a new method for fitting the Cu-Zr Tight-binding (TB) potential parameters. Moreover, the Bulk modulus, Shear modulus, Young's modulus and Poisson ratio of Cu46Zr54, Cu50Zr50 and Cu64Zr36 structures are calculated with the fitting TB parameters. In addition, the compression process of BMG materials is simulated by the Molecular Statics. The stress and strain are obtained to investigate the deformation mechanism of CuZr/Zr/CuZr nanolaminates at 0 and 45 inclined degree. Finally, we investigate the angle in the deformation process under different strain in the shear band, shear transformation zones (STZs) and force caused by the slip of the atomic distribution of TFMGs layer.

Garnets are major silicates from the upper mantle to the transition zone. Elastic properties of garnets are essential to interpret the variation of seismic velocities at different depths and construct a model of the Earth’s composition. Due to the chemical flexibility at octahedron sites of the crystal structures, garnets usually exist with multiple components and have many composition variations. Pyrope is an important member in the garnet group. Fe2+-Mg2+ substitution in pyrope is one of the common solid solutions. We have synthesized and measured three synthetic solid solutions samples (Py83Alm17, Py54Alm46 and Py30Alm70). Equations of state yielded their isothermal bulk moduli K0 to be 172(4)GPa, 174(2)GPa, and 183(2)GPa, respectively, which confirmed that almandine content (Fe2+ substitution) increased the bulk modulus of the garnet. A relation between the bulk modulus and the almandine mole fraction (n) was derived to be K0 = 170 + 15 n, showing it is a nearly ideal mixing model. Another factor that also significantly influences the elasticity of pyrope is water. Water is transported to the deep Earth by subduction slabs and mainly exists in nominally anhydrous minerals (NAM) as hydroxyl (OH-). Its content in minerals varies as depth increases. We therefore investigated pressure influence on water solubility in pyrope. A suite of pyrope single crystals was synthesized in a water-saturated environment at 6, 7, 9 and 12GPa and water was characterized by FTIR. IR spectra showed a typical peak at 3630 cm-1. At 9 and 12GPa, new peaks at 3572 cm-1 and 3504 cm-1 appeared and indicated that a new substitution mechanism, other than hydrogarnet substitution SiO4=(OH)4, was adopted in the pyrope crystal structure. Water solubility in pyrope reached 0.2wt% at 7GPa. From 4-7GPa, water solubility increased. At 9GPa, water content dropped to 0.07wt% and increased to 0.3wt% at 12GPa, where a cubic to tetragonal phase transition was observed. Water showed a weakening effect on the bulk moduli of hydrous pyrope. Their bulk moduli were 166GPa, 173GPa and 161GPa with water contents of 0.07wt%, 0.1wt% and 0.2wt%, respectively. An approximate linear relationship was proposed about the bulk modulus as a function of water content.
