21	Medição experimental e previsão de velocidade do som de componentes de biocombustíveis / Measureament and predict of speed of sound of biofuel compounds Deivisson Lopes Cunha 15 March 2013 (has links) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A velocidade do som é uma propriedade que vem sendo cada vez mais utilizada em diferentes áreas tecnológicas. Além disso, a velocidade do som é uma propriedade termodinâmica que está associada a outras propriedades do meio como a compressibilidade isentrópica e isotérmica, entre outras. Neste contexto, muitos estudos foram realizados a fim de obter modelos precisos que possam representar fielmente a velocidade do som, sendo observados desvios absolutos médios entre 0,13 e 24,8%. Neste trabalho, um banco de dados de velocidade do som e massa específica à pressão atmosférica de n-alcanos, alcanos ramificados, n-alcenos, aromáticos, alcoóis, éteres e ésteres, foram compilados da literatura aberta. Utilizando estes dados e baseando-se no modelo de Wada por contribuição de grupo recentemente proposto, foi desenvolvido um novo modelo por contribuição atômica para predizer a velocidade do som de todas as famílias dos compostos investigados neste trabalho. É mostrado que o modelo proposto é capaz de prever a velocidade do som para os compostos destas famílias com desvios próximos da incerteza experimental calculada a partir de diferentes dados da literatura. Este trabalho também discute o efeito da ramificação das cadeias na constante Wada, ressaltando a importância de novas medições para este tipo de compostos. Além disso, observou-se que a literatura necessita de mais dados experimentais de velocidade do som, à pressão atmosférica e diferentes temperaturas para substâncias puras presentes em biodiesel e bio-óleo de pirólise rápida. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho fornece novos dados experimentais de velocidade do som e massa específica de cinco ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos, também conhecidos como FAMEs, (caprilato de metila, caprato de metila, palmitato de metila, estearato de metila e linoleato de metila), e sete componentes puros presentes em bio-óleo de pirólise à pressão atmosférica, de vários fenóis (fenol, o-, m- e p-cresol), dois éteres fenólicos (2-metoxifenol e eugenol) e um éster fenólico (salicilato de metila), a temperaturas de (288,15-343,15) K. O modelo preditivo de Wada atômico foi utilizado para calcular a velocidade do som dos FAMEs estudados neste trabalho, e os desvios foram comparados com o modelo de Wada por contribuição de grupo. O modelo atômico de Wada foi utilizado para prever a velocidade do som dos componentes puros presentes no bio-óleo de pirólise rápida experimentalmente estudados nesta dissertação. Além disso, os dados de massa específica e velocidade de som foram correlacionados com o modelo de Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP). As propriedades foram bem representadas pelo modelo PFP, no entanto, para a velocidade do som o modelo apresenta desvios sistemáticos na dependência com a temperatura. O desempenho do modelo preditivo de Wada atômico foi considerado satisfatório, devido os desvios observados serem compatíveis ou até menores do que os desvios típicos obtidos na literatura com outros modelos correlativos para o cálculo da velocidade do som de outras substâncias / Speed of sound is a property that is being increasingly used in different technological areas. Furthermore, the speed of sound is a thermodynamic property which is associated with other properties of the medium, such as isentropic and isothermal compressibility, among others. In this context, many studies were carried out to obtain accurate models that can faithfully represent the speed of sound, with average absolute deviations between 0.13 and 24.8%. In this work a database of speed of sound and density at atmospheric pressure for n-alkanes, branched alkanes, n-alkenes, aromatics, alcohols, ethers and esters were collected from the open literature. Using these data a Wada group contribution model recently proposed was used as basis for the development of a new atomic contribution model to predict speed of sound for all families of compounds investigated in this work. It is shown that the proposed model is able to predict the speed of sound for compounds of these families with deviations close to the experimental reproducibility. This work also discusses the effect of branching on the Wadas constant, pointing out the importance of new measurements for this type of compounds. It was also observed that the literature needs more experimental data of speed of sound at atmospheric pressure and different temperature for pure compounds present in biodiesel and fast pyrolysis bio-oil. In this context, this work provides new experimental data of speed of sound and density for five Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, also know FAMEs, (Methyl Caprylate, Methyl Caprate, Methyl Palmitate, Methyl Stearate and Methyl Linoleate), and seven pure components of pyrolysis bio-oil at atmospheric pressure for several phenols (phenol, o-, m- and p-cresol), two phenolic ethers (2-methoxyphenol and eugenol) and one phenolic ester (methyl salicylate) at temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 343.15) K. The predictive atomic Wada model was used to calculate speed of sound of FAMEs studied in this work, and the deviations were compared with group contribution Wada model. An extension of atomic Wada model was used to predict the speed of sound of pure compounds of fast pyrolysis bio-oil experimentally studied in this thesis. Furthermore, data of densities and speed of sound are correlated with the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) model. The properties are well described by the PFP model, however the model presents a systematical deviation on the temperature dependency of the speed of sound. The performance of the predictive atomic Wada model was very satisfactory because its deviations are comparable to, or better than, those obtained in the literature with other models Velocidade do som massa específica modelo de wada modelo PFP modelo preditivo FAMEs Speed of sound density wada model PFP model predictive model FAMEs fast pyrolysis bio-oil compounds TECNOLOGIA QUIMICA

24	Tlumení tlakových pulsací v pružných potrubích / Damping of Pressure Pulsations in Elastic Pipes Panko, Martin January 2008 (has links) This diploma thesis deals with numerical simulation of pressure pulsations in elastic pipes. Continuity relation of fluid in elastic pipes, when calculating some damping in pipe material, is derived into practice. Rheological model of such a pipe corresponds to Voigt (Kelvin) model. For analysing dynamic effects in time periods are used numerical methods that deal with flow of compressible fluid: FTCS, Lax-Friedrichs and Lax-Wendroff method. The numerical results are confronted with the experiment. During the experiment simulation the method considers speed of sound in liquid like a function of pressure. This diploma thesis lays partial principles for finding elastic constants for describing dynamic characteristics of elastic pipes by measuring the pressure pulsations.
25	Calibration of the Measurement System for Methane Pyrolysis in Rocket Nozzle Cooling Channels Ly, Jennifer January 2023 (has links) Methane-based rocket propellant is gaining traction as a green technology with advantages in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and performance. However, under high temperatures found in rocket nozzle cooling channels, methane can undergo thermal decomposition known as methane pyrolysis, resulting in the generation of hydrogen and solid carbon. This poses challenges to rocket engine performance and can eventually cause engine failure. Understanding and predicting the composition of evolved gases in rocket engine processes is therefore crucial. This thesis focuses on quantifying the production of hydrogen in the exhaust stream. To achieve this objective, a correlational measurement method utilizing sensors was developed and experimentally investigated. This approach involved the detailed mapping of sensor responses to variations in gas composition, temperature, and pressure, which were compared and validated against theoretical data derived from REFPROP; a widely used software tool for calculating gas properties. The sensors employed in this study enabled direct measurements of the speed of sound (SOS) and thermal conductivity (TCD) of the gas. The SOS measurements exhibited strong agreement with theoretical predictions in response to changes in hydrogen content. In contrast, the TCD measurements showed lower sensitivity to hydrogen. It was observed that temperature exhibited a substantial influence on both SOS and TCD compared to pressure. However, the implementation of experimental and theoretical correction coefficients effectively compensated for these effects. The resulting calibration curves demonstrated an absolute deviation of 0.2-0.3%vol in hydrogen concentration, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the developed method of quantifying hydrogen in gas mixtures. Lastly, the occurrence of methane pyrolysis was tested and confirmed. / Metan-baserat raketbränsle är en attraktiv grön teknologi med fördelar inom hållbarhet, kostnadseffektivitet och prestanda. Dock kan metan vid höga temperaturer funna i kylningskanalerna av raketmunnstycken undergå termisk sönderfallning via en process som kallas för metanpyrolys, vilket resulterar i produktionen av vätgas och fast kol. Detta medför utmaningar för prestandan av raketmotorn och kan i slutändan förstöra motorn. Det är därför mycket viktigt att kunna förstå och förutsäga sammansättningen av de gaser som bildas i processerna i raketmotorer. Detta examensarbete fokuserar på att kvantifiera produktionen av vätgas i avgasströmmen. För att uppnå detta mål utvecklades och experimentellt undersöktes en korrelationsmätmetod som använder sensorer. Detta tillvägagångssätt innebar en detaljerad kartläggning av sensorernas svar på variationer i gassammansättning, temperatur och tryck, som sedan jämfördes och validerades mot teoretiska data från REFPROP; ett välkänt programverktyg för beräkningen av gasegenskaper. De sensorer som användes i denna studie möjliggjorde direkta mätningar av ljudhastigheten (SOS) och värmeledningsförmågan (TCD) hos gasen. SOS-mätningarna visade en stark överensstämmelse med teoretiska förutsägelser som svar på förändringar i vätgasinnehållet. TCD-mätningarna visade däremot lägre känslighet för väte. Det observerades att temperaturen hade en betydande inverkan på både SOS och TCD jämfört med trycket. Implementeringen av experimentella och teoretiska korrigeringskoefficienter kompenserade dock effektivt för dessa effekter. De resulterande kalibreringskurvorna visade en absolut avvikelse på 0.2-0.3%vol i vätgaskoncentration, vilket betonar effektiviteten hos den utvecklade metoden för att kvantifiera väte i gasblandningar. Slutligen testades och bekräftades förekomsten av metanpyrolys.

26	Quantitative measurements of temperature using laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy in reacting and non-reacting flows Lowe, Steven January 2018 (has links) This thesis is concerned with the development and application of laser induced thermal grating spectroscopy (LITGS) as a tool for thermometry in reacting and non-reacting flows. LITGS signals, which require resonant excitation of an absorbing species in the measurement region to produce a thermal grating, are acquired for systematic measurements of temperature in high pressure flames using OH and NO as target absorbing species in the burned gas. The signal obtained in LITGS measurements appears in the form of a time-based signal with a characteristic frequency proportional to the value or the sound speed of the local medium. With knowledge of the gas composition, the temperature can be derived from the speed of sound measurement. LITGS thermometry using resonant excitation of OH in the burned gas region of in oxygen enriched CH4/O2/N2 and CH4/air laminar flames was performed at elevated pressure (0.5 MPa) for a range of conditions. Measurements were acquired in oxygen enriched flames to provide an environment in which to demonstrate LITGS thermometry under high temperature conditions (up to 2900 K). The primary parameters that influence the quality of LITGS signal were also investigated. The signal contrast, which acts as a marker for the strength of the frequency oscillations, is shown to increase with an increase in the burnt gas density at the measurement point. LITGS employing resonant excitation of NO is also demonstrated for quantitative measurements of temperature in three environments – a static pressure cell at ambient temperature, a non-reacting heated jet at ambient pressure and a laminar premixed CH4/NH3/air flame operating at 0.5 MPa. Flame temperature measurements were acquired at various locations in the burned gas close to a water-cooled stagnation plate, demonstrating the capability of NO-LITGS thermometry for measuring the spatial distribution of temperature in combustion environments. In addition, the parameters that in influence the local temperature rise due to LITGS were also investigated in continuous vapour flows of acetone/air and toluene/air mixtures at atmospheric conditions. Acetone and toluene are commonly targeted species in previous LITGS measurements due to their favourable absorption characteristics. Results indicate that LITGS has the potential to produce accurate and precise measurements of temperature in non-reacting flows, but that the product of the pump intensity at the probe volume and the absorber concentration must remain relatively low to avoid significant localised heating of the measurement region.
