Abstract A simplified model for SO₂ generation during spontaneous combustion of coal gangue was put forward and validated using the measured data. Using the proposed model, the effects of initial temperature inside the gangue and fresh air supply on SO₂ generation were discussed. The results showed that, higher initial temperature inside the gangue could accelerate the oxidation rate of FeS₂ and increase the maximum concentration of SO₂. If initial temperature inside the gangue increased by about 37%, the total SO₂ generation increased by 166%. Fresh air supply had less significant effect on the oxidation rate of FeS₂. However, the More >

Abstract In oil drilling processes, sand production in the oil layer is a common issue, generally mitigated by means of sand control screens. To prevent or reduce the risk of damage of these screens and to improve the related service life, it is necessary to investigate the related erosion dynamics. In this study, a screen mesh model based on the flow field similarity theory is proposed to overcome the otherwise too complex geometric structure of this type of equipment. Such model is optimized using experimental data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the measured More >

Abstract Both of Buckling and post-buckling are fundamental problems of geometric nonlinearity in solid mechanics. With the rapid development of nanotechnology in recent years, buckling behaviors in nanobeams receive more attention due to its applications in sensors, actuators, transistors, probes, and resonators in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and biotechnology. In this work, buckling and post-buckling of copper nanobeam under uniaxial compression are investigated with theoretical analysis and atomistic simulations. Different cross sections are explored for the consideration of surface effects. To avoid complicated high order buckling modes, a stressbased simplified model is proposed to analyze the critical… More >
