The flow in a complex engine manifold is computed by generalizing the three-branch to the n-branch junction model. Energy-related pressure losses are implemented in the one-dimensional continuity equation and the effects of choked flow and changing flow patterns are considered. The computational results are compared with measurements on an engine with multi-entry pulse converter and compact single pipe exhaust systems. The influence of several parameters on the fuel consumption is determined.

The one-dimensional, unsteady flow in an air-to-air heat exchanger is studied. The governing equations are derived and the method of characteristics with the uniform interval scheme is used in the analysis. The effect of the fin improvement factor on the air temperature in the heat exchanger and the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger, and air properties in the heat exchanger are analyzed. The numerical results are compared and show good agreement with the available data.

With the speed-up of subway, the discomfort problem of passengers caused by pressure waves becomes more and more serious. The prediction method of the pressure waves based on the one-dimensional unsteady compressible non-homentropic flow model and the method of characteristics is introduced, and the program is developed which can be used to calculate the pressure waves not only produced by single train passing through subway tunnel with airshafts, but also produced when the train starts or stops. On this base, the influence of the train speed and the cross-section area of airshafts to the comfort of passengers in the subway is researched. All these work provides the foundation for the development of the one-dimensional unsteady flow prediction method for pressure waves produced by the train passing through subway tunnel.

Stability Results

A novel fully dynamic model of a microchannel evaporator is presented. The aim of the model is to study the highly dynamic parallel channel instabilities that occur in these evaporators in more detail. The numerical solver for the model is custom-built and the majority of the paper is focused on detailing the various aspects of this solver. The one-dimensional homogeneous two-phase flow conservation equations are solved to simulate the flow. The full three-dimensional conduction domain of the evaporator is also dynamically resolved. This allows for the correct simulation of the complex hydraulic and thermal interactions between the microchannels that give rise to the parallel channel instabilities. The model uses state-of-the-art correlations to calculate the frictional pressure losses and heat transfer in the microchannels. In addition, a model for inlet restrictions is also included to simulate the stabilizing effect of these components. In the final part of the paper, initial validation results of the model are presented, in which stability results of the model are compared to existing experimental data from literature. Finally, some representative dynamic results are also given to demonstrate some of the unique capabilities of the model.

The One

A finite-element model for pulsatile flow in a straight flexible partially obstructed tube is developed. In the unobstructed sections of the tube the model considers the continuity equation, the one-dimensional momentum equation, and an equation of state relating tube cross-sectional area to pressure. For the obstructed region, a nonlinear relationship between the flow and the pressure drop across the stenosis is considered. The applicability of a model is checked by comparing predicted flow and pressure waveforms with corresponding in-vitro experimental measurements obtained on a mechanical system. These comparisons indicate that the model satisfactorily predicts pressures and flows under variety of frequencies of oscillation and stenosis severities.

This paper presents the application of the one new approach using Genetic Algorithm in solving One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problems in order to minimize two objectives, usually conflicting, i.e., the number of processed objects and setup while simultaneously treating them as a single goal. The model problem, the objective function, the method denominated SingleGA10 and the steps used to solve the problem are also presented. The obtained results of the SingleGA10 are compared to the following methods: SHP, Kombi234, ANLCP300 and Symbio10, found in literature, verifying its capacity to find feasible and competitive solutions. The computational results show that the proposed method, which only uses a genetic algorithm to solve these two objectives inversely related, provides good results.
