To validate the functionality of the experimental setup in general, tests with similar material combinations as in other established setups (Antonyuk et al.5 and Wong et al.13) were performed. Since very similar results were obtained, the general procedure seems to work. Nevertheless, caution has to be taken towards the procedure and the analysis and further improvements are necessary.

粉末和颗粒到处都是我们身边。没有他们的生活是在现代社会中是不可能的。它们出现在食品和饮料，谷物或甚至面粉，糖，咖啡和可可。他们需要像碳粉激光打印机日常使用的对象。还塑料工业也不是没有它们可以想象，因为塑料在粒状形式运输它被熔化并赋予新的形状之前。之后的价值恩尼斯等 1至少40％加入美利坚合众国的居民消费价格指数化工行业（农业，食品，医药，矿产，弹药）连接到颗粒技术。 Nedderman 2甚至指出，产品和最小的原料的75％的约50％（重量）是在化学工业中的粒状固体。他还宣布，有关于出现颗粒状物料的储存和运输的许多问题。其中之一是在运输和handli期间NG多次碰撞发生。为了分析，描述和预测颗粒系统的行为，离散元法（DEM）模拟可以执行。对于该微粒系统的碰撞行为的这些模拟的知识是必要的。描述的DEM模拟这种行为的参数是归还（COR）的具有在实验确定的系数。 的COR是一个数字，如由SEIFRIED 等人描述的撞击期间表征动能的损失。3。他们解释说，这是由塑性变形，波传播和粘弹性现象造成的。桑顿和宁4还提到，一些能源可能受到因界面粘结工作消散。的COR取决于冲击速度，材料特性，颗粒大小，形状，粗糙度，水分含量，粘合性能和温度如在Antonyuk 等人说明。5。对于completelŸ弹性影响的所有吸收的能量碰撞后使接触合作伙伴之间的相对速度是之前和冲击后返回相等。这导致E = 1的COR期间完全塑性影响所有的初始动能被吸收和接触伙伴粘在一起从而导致E的COR = 0。此外，Güttler 等 6说明有两个类型的碰撞。一方面，有两个球体其也被称为颗粒与颗粒接触之间的碰撞。另一方面，有一个球体和一个板，其也被称为颗粒 - 壁接触之间的碰撞。与用于COR数据和类似的系数其它材料性质的摩擦，密度，泊松比和剪切模量的DEM模拟可以被执行以确定通过巴拉德瓦等 7所解释的粒子的碰撞后的速度和方向。由于笑WN在Antonyuk 等人 5，COR可以与回弹速度的比率来计算冲击速度。 因此，对于自由下落测试，以检查颗粒的直径为0.1mm至4mm的粒子壁接触的实验装置构成。相比加速实验中Fu等 8和索末菲和胡伯9的自由下落实验的优点在于，转动可能被淘汰。因此，可避免其影响COR旋转和平移动能之间的转移。非球面颗粒需要被标记为在Foerster的等 10或洛伦茨等人 11采取旋转考虑。作为COR取决于冲击速度，在实验中的冲击速度有以匹配实际运输和装卸过程中的那些。在大气压下自由落体实验中，冲击速度是有限受阻力，具有降低的粒度的影响越来越大。为了克服这个缺点，实验设置在真空条件下工作的。第二个挑战是因为那么有可能表征了影响COR预先，例如表面粗糙度和粘附的所有属性下降只是一个单一的粒子。有了这些知识，该COR可以根据颗粒的性质来决定。为此，新版本机制的发展。另一个问题是，其直径逊色于400微米的粉末的粘附力​​。因此，干式和环境温度的环境是必要的，以克服粘附力。 实验装置由几部分组成。现有的实验设置的外部视图中示出在图1中。首先，有真空室是由玻璃制成的。它是由一个下部（气缸）的，一个顶盖，一个密封环和套筒连接部分。下部具有用于与真空泵和真空计连接的两个开口。顶盖有四个孔。其中两个是必要的如下所述的释放机构的枝以及两个可用于实验的进一步的改进。所有这些开口可以与密封环和真空条件下工作时，螺旋盖被关闭。 此外，一个新的释放机构被自使用真空喷嘴的开发为在文献中记载了许多其它的实验（例如Foerster的等 10，洛伦茨等人 11，Fu等 12或Wong等人 13）是不可能在真空环境。该机构由与由板保持的锥形钻孔的圆筒形腔室来实现。这被连接到装配在真空室的顶盖的密封环中的一个，并保证了variab的调整棒勒初始高度自由下落实验。的比例可绘制在棍子测量高度。粒子室的关闭由被再次连接到棒的吸移管的圆锥尖来实现。新的释放机构可在图2中可以看出，并工作如下所述:在初始状态，使末端的圆周接触腔室的钻孔的边缘枪头被推下。该腔室是封闭的枪头使得没有空间的粒子通过该孔离开该室。为了释放颗粒，棒向上非常缓慢一起与连接到它的前端拉动。作为尖端的直径越来越小其圆周和钻孔的边缘之间的间隙产生，通过该粒子可以离开该室。虽然人们可能期望粒子的新开发的释放机制为颗粒可以&#39;滚&#39;出湛的旋转误码率，一个不同的行为显示在实验。 图3示出了非球面微粒的从50帧之前在25帧的步骤的影响后的影响，以50帧。从粒子的形状没有旋转的影响（1-3），而事后它明显旋转（4-5）之前是可见的。因此，声称非旋转释放正在与本次发布机制。 实验装置的另一部件是在底板上。事实上，有三种不同类型的由不同的材料的底板的。一个是由不锈钢制成，铝的第二和聚氯乙烯的第三（PVC）。这些底板代表例如在反应器和管工艺工程中经常用到的材料。 要确定影响速度和回弹速度，使用高速摄像机10,000 FPS和528点¯x396像素的分辨率。选择这种构总是有附近的冲击一张图片，也分辨率仍是令人满意的。相机连接到一个屏幕，示出了在瞬间视频它们被记录时。这是必要的，因为高速摄像机只能保存的图片数量有限，并超过这一数额时，将覆盖视频的开头。此外，需要高速照相机的视场的照明强光源。照明均匀度的技术图纸纸张被粘在真空室传播的光的背面。 最后，两阶段旋转叶片泵被用于建立0.1毫巴的真空和真空计测量的真空，以保证恒定的环境条件。 对于不同粒径（0.1-0.2，0.2-0.3，0.3-0.4，0.700，1.588，2.381，2.780，3.680和4.000毫米）所提出的在这里工作的玻璃珠被使用。珠粒是由碱石灰玻璃和是球形具有相当光滑的表面。

离散元方法被用于微粒系统的仿真来描述和分析它们，以预测和事后优化其为一个过程的单一阶段或甚至整个进程的行为。用于模拟与存在颗粒 - 颗粒和颗粒壁的接触，需要恢复系数的值。它可以通过实验确定。恢复系数取决于几个参数，如冲击速度。尤其是对细颗粒的冲击速度取决于空气压力和大气压力下，不能达到高的冲击速度。对于这一点，对于在真空条件下自由下落测试一个新的实验装置显影。恢复系数与它们通过高速摄像机检测出的冲击和回弹速度决定。到不妨碍视图，真空室由玻璃制成。又一个新的释放机制回落真空下一个单一的粒子条件构造。由于是，所述颗粒的所有属性可以预先表征。

Experimental Measurement of Settling Velocity of Spherical Particles in Unconfined and Confined Surfactant-based Shear Thinning Viscoelastic Fluids

An experimental study is performed to measure the terminal settling velocities of spherical particles in surfactant based shear thinning viscoelastic (VES) fluids. The measurements are made for particles settling in unbounded fluids&#160;and fluids between parallel walls. VES fluids over a wide range of rheological properties are prepared and rheologically characterized. The rheological characterization involves steady shear-viscosity and dynamic oscillatory-shear measurements to quantify the viscous and elastic properties respectively. The settling velocities under unbounded conditions are measured in beakers having diameters at least 25x the diameter of particles. For measuring settling velocities between parallel walls, two experimental cells with different wall spacing are constructed. Spherical particles of varying sizes are gently dropped in the fluids and allowed to settle. The process is recorded with a high resolution video camera and the trajectory of the particle is recorded using image analysis software. Terminal settling velocities are calculated from the data.
The impact of elasticity on settling velocity in unbounded fluids is quantified by comparing the experimental settling velocity to the settling velocity calculated by the inelastic drag predictions of Renaud et al.1&#160;Results show that elasticity of fluids can increase or decrease the settling velocity. The magnitude of reduction/increase is a function of the rheological properties of the fluids and properties of particles. Confining walls are observed to cause a retardation effect on settling and the retardation is measured in terms of wall factors.

This paper demonstrates the experimental procedure to measure terminal settling velocities of spherical particles in surfactant-based shear thinning viscoelastic fluids. Fluids over a wide range of rheological properties are prepared and settling velocities are measured for a range of particle sizes in unbounded fluids and fluids between parallel walls.

Experiments on Ultrasonic Lubrication Using a Piezoelectrically-assisted Tribometer and Optical Profilometer

Friction and wear are detrimental to engineered systems. Ultrasonic lubrication is achieved when the interface between two sliding surfaces is vibrated at a frequency above the acoustic range (20 kHz). As a solid-state technology, ultrasonic lubrication can be used where conventional lubricants are unfeasible or undesirable. Further, ultrasonic lubrication allows for electrical modulation of the effective friction coefficient between two sliding surfaces. This property enables adaptive systems that modify their frictional state and associated dynamic response as the operating conditions change. Surface wear can also be reduced through ultrasonic lubrication. We developed a protocol to investigate the dependence of friction force reduction and wear reduction on the linear sliding velocity between ultrasonically lubricated surfaces. A pin-on-disc tribometer was built which differs from commercial units in that a piezoelectric stack is used to vibrate the pin at 22 kHz normal to the rotating disc surface. Friction and wear metrics including effective friction force, volume loss, and surface roughness are measured without and with ultrasonic vibrations at a constant pressure of 1 to 4 MPa and three different sliding velocities: 20.3, 40.6, and 87 mm/sec. An optical profilometer is utilized to characterize the wear surfaces. The effective friction force is reduced by 62% at 20.3 mm/sec. Consistently with existing theories for ultrasonic lubrication, the percent reduction in friction force diminishes with increasing speed, down to 29% friction force reduction at 87 mm/sec. Wear reduction remains essentially constant (49%) at the three speeds considered.

We present a protocol for using a piezoelectrically-assisted tribometer and optical profilometer to investigate the dependence of ultrasonic wear and friction reduction on linear velocity, contact pressure, and surface properties.

Measurement of the Rheology of Crude Oil in Equilibrium with CO2 at Reservoir Conditions

A rheometer system to measure the rheology of crude oil in equilibrium with carbon dioxide (CO2) at high temperatures and pressures is described. The system comprises a high-pressure rheometer which is connected to a circulation loop. The rheometer has a rotational flow-through measurement cell with two alternative geometries: coaxial cylinder and double gap. The circulation loop contains a mixer, to bring the crude oil sample into equilibrium with CO2, and a gear pump that transports the mixture from the mixer to the rheometer and recycles it back to the mixer. The CO2 and crude oil are brought to equilibrium by stirring and circulation and the rheology of the saturated mixture is measured by the rheometer. The system is used to measure the rheological properties of Zuata crude oil (and its toluene dilution) in equilibrium with CO2 at elevated pressures up to 220 bar and a temperature of 50 &#176;C. The results show that CO2 addition changes the oil rheology significantly, initially reducing the viscosity as the CO2 pressure is increased and then increasing the viscosity above a threshold pressure. The non-Newtonian response of the crude is also seen to change with the addition of CO2.

The Measurement of Unsteady Surface Pressure Using a Remote Microphone Probe

Microphones are widely applied to measure pressure fluctuations at the walls of solid bodies immersed in turbulent flows. Turbulent motions with various characteristic length scales can result in pressure fluctuations over a wide frequency range. This property of turbulence requires sensing devices to have sufficient sensitivity over a wide range of frequencies. Furthermore, the small characteristic length scales of turbulent structures require small sensing areas and the ability to place the sensors in very close proximity to each other. The complex geometries of the solid bodies, often including large surface curvatures or discontinuities, require the probe to have the ability to be set up in very limited spaces. The development of a remote microphone probe, which is inexpensive, consistent, and repeatable, is described in the present communication. It allows for the measurement of pressure fluctuations with high spatial resolution and dynamic response over a wide range of frequencies. The probe is small enough to be placed within the interior of typical wind tunnel models. The remote microphone probe includes a small, rigid, and hollow tube that penetrates the model surface to form the sensing area. This tube is connected to a standard microphone, at some distance away from the surface, using a "T" junction. An experimental method is introduced to determine the dynamic response of the remote microphone probe. In addition, an analytical method for determining the dynamic response is described. The analytical method can be applied in the design stage to determine the dimensions and properties of the RMP components.

Here, we present a protocol to measure, with high spatial resolution, the unsteady surface pressure in turbulent flows. This method demonstrates the construction of a remote microphone probe (RMP) and the determination of its frequency-dependent, complex transfer function. An analytical determination of the dynamic response is presented and validated.

How to Build a Vacuum Spring-transport Package for Spinning Rotor Gauges

The spinning rotor gauge (SRG) is a high-vacuum gauge often used as a secondary or transfer standard for vacuum pressures in the range of 1.0 x 10-4 Pa to 1.0 Pa. In this application, the SRGs are frequently transported to laboratories for calibration. Events can occur during transportation that change the rotor surface conditions, thus changing the calibration factor. To assure calibration stability, a spring-transport mechanism is often used to immobilize the rotor and keep it under vacuum during transport. It is also important to transport the spring-transport mechanism using packaging designed to minimize the risk of damage during shipping. In this manuscript, a detailed description is given on how to build a robust spring-transport mechanism and shipping container. Together these form a spring-transport package. The spring-transport package design was tested using drop-tests and the performance was found to be excellent. The present spring-transport mechanism design keeps the rotor immobilized when experiencing shocks of several hundred g (g = 9.8 m/sec2 and is the acceleration due to gravity), while the shipping container assures that the mechanism will not experience shocks greater than about 100 g during common shipping mishaps (as defined by industry standards).

Here we describe how to build a robust spring-transport mechanism for a spinning rotor gauge. This device securely immobilizes the rotor and keeps it under vacuum during transportation. We also describe packaging that minimizes the risk of damage during transport. Tests show our design works for typical shocks during transport.

Measurement of Outgassing Rates of Steels

Steels are commonly used materials in the fabrication of vacuum systems because of their good mechanical, corrosion, and vacuum properties. A variety of steels meet the criterion of low outgassing required for high or ultrahigh vacuum applications. However, a given material can present different outgassing rates depending on its manufacturing process or the various pretreatment processes involved during the fabrication. Thus, the measurement of outgassing rates is highly desirable for a specific vacuum application. For this reason, the rate-of-pressure rise (RoR) method is often used to measure the outgassing of hydrogen after bakeout. In this article, a detailed description of the design and execution of the experimental protocol involved in the RoR method is provided. The RoR method uses a spinning rotor gauge to minimize errors that stem from outgassing or the pumping action of a vacuum gauge. The outgassing rates of two ordinary steels (stainless steel and mild steel) were measured. The measurements were made before and after the heat pretreatment of the steels. The heat pretreatment of steels was performed to reduce the outgassing. Extremely low rates of outgassing (on the order of 10&#8722;11 Pa m3 sec&#8722;1 m&#8722;2) can be routinely measured using relatively small samples.

A protocol for the measurement of outgassing rates of hydrogen from ordinary steel vacuum chambers using the rate-of-pressure rise method is presented.

A Uniaxial Compression Experiment with CO2-Bearing Coal Using a Visualized and Constant-Volume Gas-Solid Coupling Test System

Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a deep coal seam is of great significance for reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and increasing the recovery of coalbed methane. A visualized and constant-volume gas-solid coupling system is introduced here to investigate the influence of CO2 sorption on the physical and mechanical properties of coal. Being able to keep a constant volume and monitor the sample using a camera, this system offers the potential to improve instrument accuracy and analyze fracture evolution with a fractal geometry method. This paper provides all steps to perform a uniaxial compression experiment with a briquette sample in different CO2 pressures with the gas-solid coupling test system. A briquette, cold-pressed by raw coal and sodium humate cement, is loaded in high-pressure CO2, and its surface is monitored in real-time using a camera. However, the similarity between the briquette and the raw coal still needs improvement, and a flammable gas such as methane (CH4) cannot be injected for the test. The results show that CO2 sorption leads to peak strength and elastic modulus reduction of the briquette, and the fracture evolution of the briquette in a failure state indicates fractal characteristics. The strength, elastic modulus, and fractal dimension are all correlated with CO2 pressure but not with a linear correlation. The visualized and constant-volume gas-solid coupling test system can serve as a platform for experimental research about rock mechanics considering the multifield coupling effect.

Calibration Procedures for Orthogonal Superposition Rheology

Orthogonal superposition (OSP) rheology is an advanced rheological technique that involves superimposing a small-amplitude oscillatory shear deformation orthogonal to a primary shear flow. This technique allows the measurement of structural dynamics of complex fluids under non-linear flow conditions, which is important for the understanding and prediction of the performance of a wide range of complex fluids. The OSP rheological technique has a long history of development since the 1960s, mainly through the custom-built devices that highlighted the power of this technique. The OSP technique is now commercially available to the rheology community. Given the complicated design of the OSP geometry and the non-ideal flow field, users should understand the magnitude and sources of measurement error. This study presents calibration procedures using Newtonian fluids that includes recommendations for best practices to reduce measurement errors. Specifically, detailed information on the end-effect factor determination method, sample filling procedure, and identification of the appropriate measurement range (e.g., shear rate, frequency, etc.) are provided.

We present a detailed calibration protocol for a commercial orthogonal superposition rheology technique using Newtonian fluids including end-effect correction factor determination methods and recommendations for best practices to reduce experimental error.

A Friction Testing-Bioreactor Device for Study of Synovial Joint Biomechanics, Mechanobiology, and Physical Regulation

In primary osteoarthritis (OA), normal 'wear and tear' associated with aging inhibits the ability of cartilage to sustain its load-bearing and lubrication functions, fostering a deleterious physical environment. The frictional interactions of articular cartilage and synovium may influence joint homeostasis through tissue level wear and cellular mechanotransduction. To study these mechanical and mechanobiological processes, a device capable of replicating the motion of the joint is described. The friction testing device controls the delivery of reciprocal translating motion and normal load to two contacting biological counterfaces. This study adopts a synovium-on-cartilage configuration, and friction coefficient measurements are presented for tests performed in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or synovial fluid (SF) bath. The testing was performed for a range of contact stresses, highlighting the lubricating properties of SF under high loads. This friction testing device can be used as a biomimetic bioreactor for studying the physical regulation of living joint tissues in response to applied physiologic loading associated with diarthrodial joint articulation.

The present protocol describes a friction testing device that applies simultaneous reciprocal sliding and normal load to two contacting biological counterfaces.

Experimental Multiscale Methodology for Predicting Material Fouling Resistance

The buildup of fouling deposits in energy systems degrades their ability to transfer heat, reducing efficiency and causing operational issues such as localized corrosion. Each application presents its own challenges. In nuclear power generation, the buildup of CRUD (Chalk River Unidentified Deposits) induces unique, negative effects ranging from reduced heat transfer, to axial power shifting, to CRUD-induced localized corrosion (CILC), the last of which can cause sudden fuel failure. Knowledge of why CRUD forms and how to prevent its adhesion to nuclear fuel rods represents a major step towards eliminating it. This paper demonstrates a methodology to ascertain which materials may resist CRUD adhesion, thereby preventing its initiation and growth. It presents experiments targeted at multiple length scales: pool boiling (macroscale), which simulates CRUD initiation processes in a nuclear reactor, and atomic force microscope (AFM) force spectroscopy (microscale), which yields quantitative measurements of the adhesion between CRUD constituents and candidate CRUD-resistant materials. Early data from both sets of experiments show some correlation, suggesting that AFM force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) may be used to pre-screen materials for fouling resistance. So far, it appears that CRUD constituents adhere well to oxides, while carbides show both greatly reduced adhesion and no adherent CRUD in pool boiling experiments. The relationship between the AFM-FS measurements and the growth of CRUD in the pool boiling experiments may provide insight into the possible factors affecting fouling in nuclear reactors, eventually leading to its elimination.

Fouling, or corrosion product deposition, plagues numerous fields of energy production. At its core is adhesion between dissimilar materials. Understanding and controlling adhesion could reduce or eliminate fouling. This paper demonstrates pool boiling experiments (macroscale) and atomic force microscope force-spectroscopy measurements (microscale), which when in agreement, indicate fouling-resistance.
