Numerical Model of a tandem reciprocating hydraulic rod seal
Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme, 2008Co-Authors: Bo Yang, Richard F SalantAbstract:A Numerical Model of a tandem reciprocating hydraulic rod seal, consisting of two elastomeric U cup seals, has been constructed. It is applicable to cases in which the stroke length is significantly larger than the seal width. The Model consists of coupled steady state fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics, and contact mechanics analyses, with an iterative computational procedure. The behaviors of the two seals are coupled through the pressure/density in the interseal region and through flow continuity. Results for a typical tandem seal are compared to those of a single seal and a double lip seal.

A Combined Three-Dimensional Geological-Geostatistical-Numerical Model of Underground Excavations in Rock
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2007Co-Authors: M. Stavropoulou, G. Exadaktylos, G. SaratsisAbstract:This paper exploits geological and borehole geotechnical data obtained in the exploratory phase of a tunneling project to investigate in a first place if the kriging interpolation scheme may effectively reproduce the spatial variability of rock mass quality (Rock Mass Rating, RMR) in the vicinity of tunnels. For this purpose a quick solver in Fortran has been developed that performs variography analysis of 3D spatial data, fast kriging estimations of RMR between borehole sampling locations at the centroids of the elements of the Numerical Model, and Model validation. For the purpose of an integrated underground excavation design, a step further is made by incorporating into the 3D mechanical Numerical Model of the rock mass, the three-dimensional (3D) solid geological Model, thus coupling the geology with the ground (geotechnical) Model (i.e. each element of the Numerical Model is assigned a geological material). The mechanical properties of each finite difference cell (or Representative Elementary Volume) of the ground Model were then prescribed according to its geological type, the spatial heterogeneity of the rock mass expressed quantitatively with the kriging Model, and the upscaling calculations of the mechanical properties of the intact rocks determined in the laboratory, based on the size-effect (strength dependence on size) and Damage Theory. Furthermore, a preliminary Numerical simulation of the advance of unsupported tunnels in the Model of the heterogeneous rock mass was performed for illustration purposes.

a Numerical Model for thermoelectric generator with the parallel plate heat exchanger
Journal of Power Sources, 2007Co-Authors: Jianlin Yu, Hua ZhaoAbstract:This paper presents a Numerical Model to predict the performance of thermoelectric generator with the parallel-plate heat exchanger. The Model is based on an elemental approach and exhibits its feature in analyzing the temperature change in a thermoelectric generator and concomitantly its performance under operation conditions. The Numerical simulated examples are demonstrated for the thermoelectric generator of parallel flow type and counter flow type in this paper. Simulation results show that the variations in temperature of the fluids in the thermoelectric generator are linear. The Numerical Model developed in this paper may be also applied to further optimization study for thermoelectric generator.
