Title: Experiment study on the throttling characteristics of exchanging the first stage of the multistage orifice
Authors: XIE Shujuan, ZHAO Yue, CHEN Ruichi, WANG Haimin
PP: 1887-1893
Abstract: The experiment method is presented to investigate the influence of decreasing the diameter of the first stage orifice plate on the multistage throttle characteristics of the letdown orifice tube. And the test results have shown that the flow is always in the turbulent state within the measuring range and the pressure drop coun be enhanced significantly by decreasing the aperture ratio of the first stage. For each orifice plate, the resistance coefficient will eventually reach a constant with the increasing of flow rate within the section of test flow, and the constant is used as a flow rate coefficient to get the multistage throttle characteristics under the real operation condition. The orifice throttling characteristic parameters are the negative power law function of the aperture ratio of the first stage and are influenced by other factors such as the structure and shape of the orifice plate when regulating the aperture ratio. However, the aperture ratio of the first stage coun not be decreased infinitely to improve the pressure drop.

Authors: ZHOU Jun’an, YANG Bin, XIAO Ping, CHEN Yanfeng, CHEN Xuejiang, LI Zaoyang, LIU Lijun
PP: 1882-1886
Abstract: Strength verification and vibration characteristics of a developed centrifugal impeller of an air compressor are studied with the finite element method. Firstly, the strength of the first stage impeller is verified. Then, the static frequencies and the dynamic frequencies at different rotation rates are obtained with a rotor dynamic analysis. Finally, the influence of the low frequency and the high frequency exciting forces caused by the impeller rotation on the impeller’s stability is analyzed. The results show that the impeller meets the requirement of strength. Both the largest stress value and the largest deformation due to vibration are located at the outlet of the impeller, where more attention should be payed during the design and operation of the compressor.

Title: Static performance and modal analysis of engine crankshaft
Authors: HUANG Shuo
PP: 1874-1881
Abstract: In this paper, ANSYS Workbench software was used to build a three-dimensional model of the crankshaft, and then crank meshing and boundary conditions were imposed for crankshaft to do finite element analysis based on ANSYS. Analysis on deformation and stress state of the crankshaft was carried out, and the strength calculation and strength check of crankshaft were conducted. The results showed that the static strength safety factor of crankshaft was 8.1, the fatigue safety factor was 3.8, which both met the design requirements. This paper also made modal analysis of crankshaft based on the finite element model to calculate the first ten free vibration modes of the crankshaft and analyze the modal shapes and natural frequencies. The results showed that the lowest harmonic order frequency of crankshaft was 144.49 Hz, which was much higher than the base frequency so as to avoid the resonance frequency.

PP: 1866-1873
Abstract: Thermoelectric dehumidification system is a multivariable coupling system involving with heat, mass and power, and it is a relatively complex modeling. In order to simplify arithmetic, equivalent circuit model of the thermoelectric dehumidification system was established. The operating voltage, hot end thermal resistance, cold end airflow, ambient temperature and ambient relative humidity which affect the working state of the thermoelectric dehumidification system were simulated and analyzed in the PSpice. The results show that the operating voltage and the hot end thermal resistance are the main factors affecting dehumidifying performance, and it is a little influence on the dehumidifying performance after the cold end airflow reach a certain value. When the ambient temperature was 27℃, ambient relative humidity was 80%, we studied the relationship of coefficient of performance (COP) and dehumidification rate of the system with voltage, and got the possible working state of the thermoelectric dehumidification system. It also could provide certain guidance for the design and utilization of the thermoelectric dehumidifier.

Title: Several problems of MOA leakage current measurement
Authors: QIN Songlin
PP: 1860-1865
Abstract: Under the sine voltage, the resistive current of metal oxide arrester (MOA) leakage current is a non-sine steady-state, so MOA leakage current is a non-sine steady-state. When the sine steady-state analysis tool, i.e. phasor method is used in the study of MOA leakage current measurement, it is necessary to pay attention to the applicability problem. Through analysis of the basic principle of measuring resistive current of LCD-4 MOA leakage current measuring instrument, this paper gives the basic principle for the typical compensation method of measuring resistive current. That is, based on the power frequency sinusoidal component of MOA leakage current ahead of MOA voltage 90 Through the analysis of three-phase power frequency electric field, the paper finally gives the power frequency sine component of MOA leakage current is not just ahead of MOA voltage 90 under the three-phase operating voltage in the most substations.

Abstract: In order to solve the problems of “oxygen starvation” and “oxygen saturation” for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) power system of high-power locomotive under different working conditions, a lumped parameter model of PEMFC system for locomotive was established based on the operational mechanism of PEMFC system in this paper. According to various load condition, an effective division of oxygen excess ratio (OER) working region and the feasibility of OER detection in locomotive application was also achieved based on this model, and then the static performance and the stability of PEMFC system would be improved. At last, some simulations, experiments and contrastive analysis were carried out in terms of steady state response and dynamic response.

Title: One-terminal fault location for VSC-HVDC transmission lines on the basis of the distributed parameter model
Authors: SONG Guobing, WAN Qing, LIU Tian, SUONAN Jiale
PP: 1844-1850
Abstract: A novel one-terminal fault location method which is different from those based on the travelling wave theory is proposed for voltage source converter high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission lines. Due to the high-capacity capacitors connected to both terminals of the VSC-HVDC transmission lines, the capacitor voltage will not change immediately when fault happens to the transmission lines. Therefore, the voltage of the opposite terminal to the local terminal is considered as the voltage of normal state during the fault location. Based on the distributed parameter model, the voltage and current distributions can be calculated using the voltage and current measured in the local terminal. According to the calculated distribution of voltage and current over the line, transition resistor can be computed and the fault can be located according to the principle that the variance of the calculated transition resistor is minimum at the fault point. By simulations in power system computer aided design (PSCAD) and analysis in Matlab, the fault which happens to 10%-90% of the VSC-HVDC transmission lines can be located quickly and accurately. The algorithm, which is performed in time domain, needs a very short data window and can achieve satisfactory accuracy with little need of high sample frequency.

PP: 1833-1837
Abstract: For plenty of beginners, there are a lot of myths when they analyze the driving force of the cylindrical worm and worm gear. We attempt to find the root causing the myths by analyzing the driving force carefully. Based on the traditional method, and considering the influence of friction force and transmission efficiency on the driving force, we put forward a new method of avoiding the myth and explaining the reason why the second method is wrong. Then, with the help of Matlab software, we compare the relative errors between the new method and the traditional one. Finally, it is concluded that the two kinds of methods are equivalent.
