Modulation of shock foot oscillation due to energy deposition by repetitive laser pulses in shock wave-boundary layer interaction over an axisymmetric nose-cylinder-flare model in Mach 1.92 flow was experimentally studied. From a series of 256 schlieren images, density oscillation spectra at each pixel were obtained. When laser pulses of approximately 7 mJ were deposited with a repetition frequency, fe, of 30 kHz or lower, the flare shock oscillation had a peak spectrum equivalent to the value of fe. However, with fe of 40 kHz–60 kHz, it experienced frequency modulation down to lower than 20 kHz.
Abstract:The effect of repetitive energy deposition on low Strouhal number oscillations of the shock wave induced by boundary-layer interaction over a cylinder-flare model was studied. The fluctuation of the energy deposition frequency was induced in the flow, because the bubble generated by the energy deposition flowed downstream along the surface repeatedly. The region before the bubble size was affected by the energy deposition directly, so the fluctuation frequency was equal to the energy deposition frequency. However, the flare shock behavior at a position farther from the surface than the bubble size was also affected strongly by the energy deposition. For low-frequency unsteadiness and the effect of energy deposition on its unsteadiness, two categories have been observed. In the relatively small flare angle case, the flare shock was oscillated owing to the fluctuation induced by the boundary-layer interaction at the shock foot, and its oscillation occurred at 2.1 kHz with a small amplitude. The amplitude of this oscillation was decreased by highly repetitive energy depositions, and its amplitude could not be detected at a highly repetitive energy deposition. In the longer cylinder section case, the region of the shock-wave interaction was widened, and the amplitude of the flare shock oscillation was increased. In this case, the amplitude drastically decreased because of energy deposition.
In this paper, the squeeze flow behavior of Newtonian fluid was investigated with a series of squeeze tack laboratory experiments. The Newtonian fluid was squeezed out radially between two parallel and circular plates. From the flow curves obtained in the squeeze tack experiments, rheological parameters such as yield stress in tension and in squeeze, have been investigated. The results indicate that the values of yield stress in squeeze and in tack of the testing material are relatively small. These values gradually decrease with increasing sample thickness. This shows that the squeezing and tacking process does not affect the testing material, glucose in this case. Although the experimental results are not much, a linear relationship can be found between tensile and squeeze stress of Newton fluid in the experiment. This is especially evident at low test speeds
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) pose significant
environmental
and human health risks and thus require solutions for their removal
and destruction. However, PFAS cannot be destroyed by widely used
removal processes like nanofiltration (NF). A few scarcely implemented
advanced oxidation processes can degrade PFAS. In this study, we apply
an electric field to a membrane system by placing a nanofiltration
membrane between reactive electrodes in a crossflow configuration.
The performance of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) rejection, water
flux, and energy consumption were evaluated. The reactive and robust
SnO2–Sb porous anode was created via a sintering
and sol–gel process. The characterization and analysis techniques
included field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ion chromatography,
mass spectroscopy, porosimeter, and pH meter. The PFOA rejection increased
from 45% (0 V) to 97% (30 V) when the electric field and filtration
were in the same direction, while rejection capabilities worsened
in opposite directions. With saline solutions (1 mM Na2SO4) present, the induced electro-oxidation process could
effectively mineralize PFOA, although this led to unstable removal
and water fluxes. The design achieved an exceptional performance in
the nonsaline feed of 97% PFOA rejection and water flux of 68.4 L/m2 hr while requiring only 7.31 × 10–5 kWh/m3/order of electrical energy. The approach’s
success is attributed to the proximity of the electrodes and membrane,
which causes a stronger electric field, weakened concentration polarization,
and reduced mass transfer distances of PFOA near the membrane. The
proposed electric field-assisted nanofiltration design provides a
practical membrane separation method for PFAS removal from water.
