Hydraulic Modeling and Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment of Intrusionin Water Distribution Networks Under Sustained Low-Pressure Situations / Hydraulisk modellering och kvantitativ mikrobiell riskbedömning av inläckage i vattendistributionsnät under ihållande lågtryckssituationer

Shakibi, Maryam January 2022 (has links)
Drinking water systems aim to remove, reduce, and prevent microbial contamination in water by usingmultiple barriers from catchments to consumers. Water distribution networks are vulnerable tocontamination from external sources if they lose their physical or hydraulic integrity. The leading causeof intrusion is losing hydraulic integrity due to low pressure in the water distribution networks. Eventsthat lead to low pressure in the water distribution networks can result in transient or sustained lowpressure lasting from milliseconds in a transient to hours and days in sustained low-pressure events.This study studied two sustained low-pressure events with durations of one to five hours, leading tointrusion in the water distribution network. The first event was the pump shut down, and the secondwas the pipe repair. Different durations, start times, and locations were simulated for the pumpshutdown and pipe repair events. Hydraulic and water quality modelling using EPANET 2.2 was usedto simulate low-pressure events and intrusion of microbial contamination in the drinking waterdistribution networks. Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) was used to estimate potentialpublic health risks using the Swedish QMRA tool. Campylobacter, Norovirus, and Cryptosporidiumwere selected as reference pathogens for simulating intrusion transport within the drinking waternetwork based on their health problem severity, persistence in water supplies, and resistance to chlorinecompound disinfectants. The study area was taken from the virtual network files generated usingHydroGen. This study showed that the volume of intrusion depended on the magnitude but mainly onthe duration of pressure drop. Also, the length of the pipes experiencing pressure drop and the numberof intrusion nodes affected the volume of intrusion. The location and magnitude of maximum nodalpathogen concentration changed significantly by changing the pump shutdown's start time and locationof pipe repair. Generally, the pump shutdown event affected extended areas with low pressure in thewater distribution network than the pipe repair. The QMRA results showed a considerable infection riskin all studied pump shutdown scenarios. The pipe repair duration was crucial in increasing or decreasingthe infection probability. The findings of hydraulic modelling and QMRA could benefit the watermanagers in deciding mitigation strategies.

Sugarcane juice extraction and preservation, and long-term lime pretreatment of bagasse

Granda Cotlear, Cesar Benigno 17 February 2005 (has links)
New technologies, such as an efficient vapor-compression evaporator, a stationary lime kiln (SLK), and the MixAlco process, compelled us to re-evaluate methods for producing sugar from cane. These technologies allow more water and lime to be used, and they add more value to bagasse. Extracting and preserving the sugars, and lime pretreating the bagasse to enhance biodigestibility, all at the same time in a pile, was demonstrated to be unfeasible; therefore, sugar extraction must occur before lime treating the bagasse. Sugar extraction should occur countercurrently by lixiviation, where liquid moves in stages opposite to the soaked bagasse (megasse), which is conveyed by screw-press conveyors that gently squeeze the fiber in each stage, improving extraction. The performance of a pilot-scale screw-press conveyor was tested for dewatering capabilities and power consumption. The unoptimized equipment decreased megasse moisture from 96 to 89%. Simulation of the process suggested that eight stages are necessary to achieve 98% recovery from typical sugarcane. The cumulative power for the screw-press conveyor system was 17.0±2.1 hp•h/ton dry fiber. Thin raw juice preserved with lime for several months showed no sucrose degradation and no quality deterioration, except for reducing sugar destruction. The lime loading needed for 1-year preservation is 0.20 g Ca(OH)2/g sucrose. Shorter times require less lime. After preservation, the juice was carbonated and filtered, and the resulting sludge pelletized. Due to their high organic content, the pellets were too weak for calcination temperatures used in the SLK. The organics must be decreased prior to pelletization and sodium must be supplemented as a binding agent. Long-term lime pretreatment of bagasse showed two delignification phases: bulk (rapid) and residual (slow). These were modeled by two simultaneous first-order reactions. Treatments with air purging and higher temperatures (50 – 57oC) delignified more effectively, especially during the residual phase, thus yielding higher cellulase-enzyme digestibilities after 2 – 8 weeks of treatment. At temperatures > 60oC, pure oxygen purging is preferred. Fresh bagasse was of better quality than old bagasse. Treatment with NaOH yielded a larger bulk delignification phase than Ca(OH)2. Long-term lime pulping of bagasse was unsuitable for copy-quality paper, but it was appropriate for strawboard and other filler applications.

Experimental study of the fundamental phenomena involved in pool boiling at low pressure / Étude expérimentale des phénomènes fondamentaux de l’ébullition en vase à basse pression

Michaïe, Sandra 04 May 2018 (has links)
L’ébullition est un mode de transfert de chaleur intervenant dans de nombreux systèmes thermiques ou énergétiques de par son efficacité. Dans certains, elle se produit à basse pression. La pression statique induite par la colonne de liquide au-dessus de la surface de formation des bulles n’est alors pas négligeable devant la pression de saturation à la surface libre. Dès lors, la pression et le sous-refroidissement induit ne peuvent plus être considérés homogènes autour des bulles, d’où des inhomogénéités des propriétés thermophysiques dans le fluide. Les influences relatives des forces s’exerçant sur une bulle pendant sa croissance sont modifiées par rapport aux pressions plus élevées : une dynamique de bulles différente apparaît. Ces conditions particulières affectent également les transferts thermiques. L’influence de la pression sur l’ébullition en vase a été étudiée expérimentalement dans le régime de bulles isolées en site unique. L’eau a d’abord été testée sur une large gamme de pressions subatmosphériques. Quatre comportements de dynamique de bulles ont été identifiés d’après la visualisation par caméra rapide. Plusieurs paramètres de la dynamique ont été quantifiés grâce à un traitement d’images adapté appliqué aux vidéos. Pour généraliser le concept d’ébullition à « basse pression » et mieux en appréhender les phénomènes fondamentaux, de nouveaux essais ont été réalisés avec un second fluide, le cyclohexane, choisi pour sa similitude thermodynamique avec l’eau bouillant en deçà de la pression atmosphérique. La comparaison des comportements des deux fluides a permis d’identifier certains paramètres responsables des spécificités du phénomène. En outre, de nouvelles fonctionnalités sont apportées au dispositif expérimental pour – notamment – effectuer la mesure rapide du flux transféré sous la bulle pendant sa croissance, synchroniser ces mesures thermiques avec l’acquisition d’images et étudier des surfaces d’ébullition structurées. Les résultats obtenus sont encourageants pour l’analyse des comportements spécifiques de l’ébullition à basse pression et ses applications. / Boiling is an efficient heat transfer mode used in numerous thermal or energy systems. In some systems boiling takes place at low pressure. The static head of the liquid column over the wall where bubbles nucleate is then not negligible against the saturation pressure at the free surface level. The pressure and the induced subcooling degree therefore cannot be considered as homogeneous around growing bubbles, resulting in non-homogeneous thermophysical properties in the fluid. The relative influence of the forces acting on a growing bubble differs from higher pressure conditions, yielding specific bubble dynamics features. Heat transfer is consequently also affected. The effect of the pressure on pool boiling was experimentally investigated during the isolated bubbles regime taking place from a single activated nucleation site. Experiments were first conducted with water for a wide range of subatmospheric pressures. Four distinct bubble dynamics behaviors were identified through high-speed camera visualizations. An adapted image processing of the recordings enabled the measurement of several bubble dynamics characteristics. In order to generalize the concept of pool boiling at "low pressure" and to get a better understanding of the related fundamental phenomena, new experiments were performed with a second fluid, cyclohexane, chosen from original thermodynamic similarity with water boiling at pressures lower than atmospheric. The comparison of fluids’ behaviors made possible the identification of parameters governing the specific phenomena occurring during boiling at low pressure. Besides, the experimental facility was improved to provide new functionalities. The high-speed measurement of the heat flux transferred under the growing bubble, its synchronization with the high-speed videos images and the study of boiling on enhanced surfaces are in particular made possible. Results are encouraging for a better understanding of the specific behaviors of low pressure boiling and for its future implementation in practical applications.

Detailed numerical characterization of the separation-induced transition, including bursting, in a low-pressure turbine environment

Babajee, Jayson 08 November 2013 (has links)
La turbine basse-pression est un composant essentiel d'un turboréacteur car elle entraine la soufflante qui génère la plus grande partie de la poussée dans la configuration actuelle des turboréacteurs à double flux. Dans la perspective d'accroître son rendement en termes de consommation de carburant, il y a une recherche permanente dans la réduction du nombre d'aubage (c'est-à-dire la réduction de la masse) qui implique un chargement plus élevé par aube de rotor. Cet environnement est caractérisé par un écoulement dont le nombre de Reynolds est faible ainsi qu'une large diffusion le long de la partie aval de l'extrados. Par conséquent, l'écoulement le long de cette surface est potentiellement sujet à une séparation laminaire qui, suivant le statut de la bulle de recirculation, pourrait causer une diminution de la performance aérodynamique (sillages plus larges et plus profonds). La présente thèse de doctorat se concentre sur l'investigation du phénomène de la transition induite par séparation dans les écoulements de turbines basse-pression. L'accent est mis sur les prédictions numériques basées sur une approche CFD RANS utilisant le modèle innovant de transition γ-Reθt à deux équations de transport (la première équation pour l'intermittence numérique et la seconde équation pour le nombre de Reynolds dont la longueur caractéristique est l'épaisseur de quantité de mouvement au début de transition γ-Reθt). Neuf aubes différentes de rotor de turbine basse-pression constituent une base de données de référence et couvrent les plages de fonctionnement de différents nombres de Reynolds de sortie isentropique, de nombres de Mach de sortie isentropique, d'intensités de turbulence d'entrée, avec ou sans sillage provenant d'une rangée d'aubes amont et avec deux configurations de rugosité locale. Une première analyse de cette base de données met en évidence l'effet de la séparation sur le début de la transition et sur les performances. La définition d'une corrélation a été tentée et permet de lier le taux de diffusion d'un aubage au nombre de Reynolds de sortie isentropique à la condition de « Bursting ». Une méthodologie numérique fiable et robuste a été établie afin de prédire la transition dans le cas d'un écoulement amont uniforme. Les résultats sont en bon accord avec les mesures expérimentales même si il a été nécessaire d'adapter les conditions limites dans le but de prédire une séparation laminaire numériquement pour des aubages fortement chargés et fia fort taux de diffusion uniquement. La résolution des profils de vitesse de la couche limite permet d'obtenir une évaluation détaillée des paramètres de la topologie de l'écoulement. Cela fournit une information sur l'épaisseur de quantité de mouvement qui est le paramètre principal définissant les corrélations de transition. La technique « Chimère » des maillages recouvrants est utilisée pour faciliter la modélisation des moyens de contrôle passif pour déclencher la transition. C'est une technique appropriée pour l'implémentation de géométries simples ou plus élaborées. / The Low-Pressure Turbine is a critical component of an Aero-Engine as it drives the Fan which produces most of the thrust in the current turbofan configuration. In order to increase the eficiency in terms of fuel consumption, there is a continuous research for blade count reduction (i.e. mass reduction) which entails a higher loading per rotor blade. It is well-known that this environment is characterised by a low Reynolds number low condition associated with high diffusion along the aft region of the suction side. Consequently, the flow along this surface is prone to laminar separation which, depending on the status of the separation bubble, would lead to detrimental decrease in the aerodynamic performance (larger and deeper wake). The present PhD thesis focuses on the investigation of the separation-induced transition phenomenon occurring in a Low-Pressure Turbine environment. The emphasis is put on the numerical predictions based on a CFD RANS approach using the innovative γ-Reθt transition model based on transport equations for the numerical intermittency (γ) and the transition onset momentum thickness Reynolds number (γ-Reθt). Nine Low-Pressure Turbine rotor blades form a comprehensive experimental reference database and cover a significant range of different isentropic outlet Reynolds numbers, isentropic outlet Mach numbers, inlet turbulence intensity levels, with or without incoming wakes and with two local roughness configurations. A first analysis of this database stresses the effect of the separation on the transition onset and on the performance. A correlation definition is attempted and allows to link the diffusion rate of a blade to the isentropic outlet Reynolds number at bursting. A reliable and robust numerical methodology is established to predict the transition in the case of uniform upstream flow. The results are in good agreement with the experiments even though it was necessary to adapt the boundary conditions to predict the laminar separation numerically for highly-loaded and strong diffusion rate blades only. The resolution of the boundary layer velocity profiles allows to have an in-depth examination of the flow topology parameters. This gives proper information on the momentum thickness which is the main driving parameter of transition correlations. The Chimera technique for overlapping meshes is used to ease the modelling of passive control devices to trigger transition. It is a decent technique to implement standard geometries or more elaborate designs.

Towards the predictive FE analysis of a metal/composite booster casing’s thermomechanical integrity

Capron, Adélie 30 November 2020 (has links) (PDF)
In response to serious environmental and economic concerns, the design and production of aircrafts have been changing profoundly over the past decades with the nose-to-tail switch from metallic materials to lightweight composite materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). In this context, the present doctoral research work aimed to contribute to the development of a CFRP booster casing, a real innovation in the field initiated and conducted by Safran Aero Boosters. More specifically, this thesis addresses the matter of joining metal/CFRP hybrid structures, which are prone to possibly detrimental residual stresses.The issue is treated with an approach combining experimental characterisation and finite element (FE) simulations. The multi-layered system’s state of damage was systematically examined on hundreds of micrographs, and the outcome of this study is presented under the form of a statistical analysis. Further, the defects’ 3D morphology is investigated by incremental polishing. A number of thermal and mechanical properties are measured by diverse physical tests on part of the constituent materials, i.e. the aerospace grade RTM6 epoxy resin, the structural Redux 322 epoxy film adhesive, and AISI 316L stainless steel. They are used as input data in a FE model of the multilayer that is developed and progressively refined to obtain detailed residual stress fields after thermal loading. These results are compared to experimental data acquired by X-ray diffraction stress analysis and with the curvature-based Stoney formula. Cohesive elements are placed at specific locations within the FE model to allow simulating progressive damage. Peel tests, mode I, mode II and mixed mode I/II fracture tests are thus performed in view of measuring the joint toughness. The results of these tests are discussed and the presence of residual stress in the fracture specimens is highlighted. Key information for the calibration of the cohesive law is finally identified via inverse FE analysis of the mode I test, this being a significant step in the process of building a damage predictive FE model of the multi-layered system. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Advancement in Understanding the Extreme Altitude and Ambient Temperature Impact on Diesel Engine and Aftertreatment Performance

Diesel Costa, Bárbara 04 April 2022 (has links)
[ES] El carácter cada vez más estricto de las normativas de emisiones ha provocado el desarrollo de motores de combustión más respetuosos con el medioambiente. La última normativa europea aplicada al sector del transporte ha ampliado el rango de condiciones de operación en el que se realizan las pruebas de homologación. Las variables de temperatura ambiente y altitud de conducción son ahora requisitos adicionales que deben tenerse en cuenta con la intención de reducir la diferencia entre el resultado de esas pruebas y en condiciones de conducción real. La comprensión del impacto de las condiciones ambientales sobre el funcionamiento del motor es algo fundamental para superar los inconvenientes que pueden representar la respuesta del motor y teniendo un gran impacto sobre las emisiones del mismo. Como consecuencia de la variación de la altitud y de la temperatura ambiente, las condiciones de contorno de los sistemas de postratamiento de los gases de escape (EATS) se modifican, comprometiendo su funcionamiento y repercutiendo en las emisiones liberadas a la atmosfera. En el caso concreto de los motores Diesel, los dos EATS más comunes son el catalizador de oxidación diesel (DOC) y el filtro de partículas diesel (DPF). En este contexto, la presente tesis doctoral propone diferentes enfoques a fin de comprender los principales efectos que las condiciones ambientales extremas provocan en el motor y en el funcionamiento del DOC y del DPF. Una parte importante de este trabajo ha consistido en la puesta en marcha de un banco de pruebas experimental equipado con un simulador de altitud y de una herramienta de modelización termo fluidodinámica unidimensional (1D) para un amplio análisis. Tras los resultados experimentales en condiciones de estado estacionario a baja temperatura, los mapas de contorno de las emisiones de CO y HC condujeron a la evaluación como las condiciones ambientales extremas repercuten en la temperatura de activación del DOC y en la eficiencia de conversión de las emisiones contaminantes. El análisis computacinal ayudó a elaborar directrices que determinan la contribución de las propiedades del flujo causadas por dichas condiciones. Asimismo, se ha abordado el efecto de la aplicación de soluciones computacionales de aislamiento térmico del escape sobre el DOC y la respuesta del motor. Por otro lado, se ha realizado experimentalmente la actuación de la turbina de geometría variable (VGT) sobre el proceso de regeneración del DPF. El impacto que la estrategia de presión de sobrealimentación tiene sobre la tasa de consumo de hollín durante la regeneración activa en función de la altitud de conducción se considera con la orientación de las herramientas de modelado. La discusión de la reducción de la tasa de regeneración en altitud con las estrategias de sobrealimentación estándar ha conducido a la reevaluación de la actuación de la de la turbina de geometría variable (VGT) para condiciones de altitud extrema. Por último, se ha analizado experimentalmente la sensibilidad de la posición del VGT y la tasa de EGR de baja presión (LP-EGR) sobre el comportamiento del motor a cargas parciales en un amplio rango de condiciones ambientales. Los resultados han conducido a la redefinición de la calibración del motor a fin de aumentar la temperatura de entrada del EATS al tiempo que se reduce el consumo específico de combustible. / [CA] El caràcter cada vegada més estricte de les normatives d'emissions ha provocat el desenvolupament de motors de combustió més respectuosos amb el medi ambient. L'última normativa europea aplicada al sector del transport ha ampliat el rang de condicions d'operació en el qual es realitzen les proves d'homologació. Les variables de temperatura ambient i altitud de conducció són ara requisits addicionals que han de tindre's en compte amb la intenció de reduir la diferència entre el resultat d'aqueixes proves i en condicions de conducció real. La comprensió de l'impacte de les condicions ambientals en el compliment de la normativa pel motor es fonamental per a superar els inconvenients que poden representar per a la resposta del motor amb un ampli impacte en les emissions d'aquest. A conseqüència de la variació de l'altitud o de la temperatura ambient, els límits dels sistemes de posttractament dels gasos de fuita (EATS) es modifiquen, comprometent el seu funcionament i repercutint en les emissions alliberades a la atmosfera. En el cas concret dels motors Dièsel, els dos EATS més comuns són el catalitzador d'oxidació dièsel (DOC) i el filtre de partícules dièsel (DPF). En aquest context, aquesta tesi doctoral proposa diferents enfocaments per a entendre els principals factors que les condicions ambientals extremes imposen al motor i al funcionament del DOC i del DPF. Una part important d'aquest treball ha consistit en la posada en marxa d'un banc de proves experimental equipat amb un simulador d'altitud i d'una eina de modelització termo fluidodinámica unidimensional (1D) per a una ampla anàlisi. Després dels resultats experimentals en condicions d'estat estacionari a baixa temperatura, els mapes de contorn de les emissions de CO i HC ha conduí a l'avaluació de com les condicions ambientals extremes repercuteixen en la temperatura d'activació del DOC i en l'eficiència de conversió de les emissions contaminants. L'anàlisi computacinal ha ajudat a elaborar directrius que determinen la contribució de les propietats del flux causades per aquestes condicions. Així mateix, l'efecte de l'aplicació de solucions d'aïllament tèrmic del tubo d'escapament sobre el DOC i la resposta del motor. D'altra banda, s'ha realitzat experimentalment l'actuació de la turbina de geometria variable (VGT) sobre el procés de regeneració del DPF. L'impacte que l'estratègia de pressió de sobrealimentació té sobre la taxa de consum de sutge durant la regeneració activa en funció de l'altitud de conducció es considera amb l'orientació de les eines de modelatge. La discussió de la reducció de la taxa de regeneració en altitud amb les estratègies de sobrealimentació estàndard ha conduït a la reavaluació de l'actuació de la de la turbina de geometria variable (VGT) per a condicions d'altitud extrema. Finalment, s'ha analitzat experimentalment la sensibilitat de la posició del VGT i la taxa de EGR de baixa pressió (LP-EGR) sobre el comportament del motor a càrregues parcials en un ampli rang de condicions ambientals. Els resultats han conduït a la redefinició del calibratge del motor a fi d'augmentar la temperatura d'entrada del EATS al mateix temps que es redueix el consum específic de combustible. / [EN] The increasingly stringent emission standards act as a guide for the development of cleaner vehicles in a context of climate change. The latest European regulations applied to the transportation sector widened the operation range where homologation tests are carried out. The variables of ambient temperature and driving altitude are now extra requirements that must be considered in a way to shorten the gap between those tests and real driving. The understanding of the ambient conditions impact on the engine response becomes fundamental to overcome the drawbacks represented by them, being determinant for the engine response with an extended impact on engine-out emissions. As a consequence of altitude or ambient temperature variation, the exhaust aftertreatment systems (EATS) boundaries are modified, compromising their operation and impacting on tailpipe emissions. In the specific case of Diesel engines, the two most common EATS are the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and the diesel particulate filter (DPF). In this context, this doctoral thesis proposes different approaches to understand the main factors that extreme ambient conditions impose to the engine and to the DOC and DPF operation. An important part of this work consisted of the set up of an experimental test bench equipped with an altitude simulator and of a one-dimensional (1D) thermo-fluid dynamic modelling tool for a wide-ranging analysis. Following low temperature steady state conditions experimental outcomes, CO and HC emission contour maps led to the evaluation of how extreme ambient conditions impact on the DOC light-off and pollutant emissions conversion efficiency. The modelling analysis helped to build guidelines that determine the contribution of the flow properties caused by such conditions. Besides, the effect of applying computational exhaust line thermal insulation solutions on the DOC and engine response is additionally addressed. On the other hand, the variable geometry turbine (VGT) actuation on the DPF regeneration process is performed experimentally. The impact that the boost pressure strategy has on the rate of soot depletion during active regeneration as a function of the driving altitude is considered with the guidance of the modelling tools. The reduction of the regeneration rate in altitude with standard boosting strategies is discussed, leading to the re-evaluation of the VGT actuation for high altitude practices. Finally, the sensitivity of the VGT position and low pressure exhaust gases recirculation (LP-EGR) rate at a vast array of ambient conditions is experimentally analysed for regular engine operation at partial loads. The results led to the engine calibration redefinition based on EATS inlet temperature increase and the reduction of the specific fuel consumption. / Diesel Costa, B. (2022).
