Goodness of empirical models for predicting explosive detonation velocity and pressure was analysed using 3 databases consisting of experimental velocity and pressure measurements for different explosives. The first database was used to estimate experimental errors for detonation velocity and pressure measurements. The second database was used to compare residuals obtained by the experimental models and by various thermochemical codes. Finally, the third database, consisting of some 600 data on 130 explosive substances, was used to estimate residual bias and dispersion resulting from the application of the experimental models. Also analysed was model coherence with the ideal detonation theory. Our main conclusion is that all the models introduce bias in their predictions depending on the density and oxygen balance values of the explosive. Of those analysed, the Xiong model was notable for its good results, with residual dispersion comparable to that obtained from application of the best thermochemical codes. Our results would indicate that the Xiong model is the only model that may be compatible with the ideal detonation theory. The pressure equation derived from the ideal detonation theory and calibrated with experimental data had excellent predictive capacity. 相似文献
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to simulate the dispersion of dust generated in blasting located
in limestone quarries. This is a complex phenomenon that has been studied through the use of several digital video recordings
of blasts and dust concentration field measurements by ‘light scattering’ dust collectors. In addition, the subsequent simulation
of the dispersion of the dust cloud by means of multiphase CFD has also been studied. CFD calculations were carried out using
software Ansys CFX 10.0, through transitory models with Lagrangian particle models crossing an Eulerian air continuous phase.
This paper presents results obtained by model simulations where physical barriers are set close to the blasting, with the
aim of decreasing the dust cloud dispersal and the associated environmental impact. 相似文献
Based on a series of experiments conducted by two regional climate models (RCA4 and LMDZ) with and without soil moisture-atmosphere coupling, we investigate the role of soil moisture on the occurrence of surface air temperature extremes and its persistence in Southeastern South America. Our analysis reveals that both factors, soil moisture-atmosphere coupling and relatively drier soil conditions, enhance the temperature extremes. In addition, the existence of soil-atmosphere coupling and the associated soil moisture variability is crucial for the development of the extremes in SESA. The key role of soil-atmosphere coupling is also reflected in the intrinsic persistence of hot days, which is greater in simulations with interactive soil moisture than in those with prescribed soil conditions. In the absence of soil-atmosphere coupling, the imprint of the anomalous dry (and also wet) soil conditions on the intensity and persistence of hot days is weaker.
The paper presents a review of shallow lakes on two neighboring territories, Transbaikalia in Russia and Northeastern Mongolia.
Five systems of shallow lakes are distinguished in the regions under study: Barguzin, Eravna-Gusinoozersk, Ingoda, Onon-Borzya,
and Eastern-Mongolian systems. The shallow lakes are sub-grouped according to common chemical compositions and geochemical
evolution types. Characteristics of ground- and surface waters feeding the lakes are considered. Based on results of trace
element analyses of water samples from about 200 lakes and more than 100 springs, wells and boreholes, elements that manifest
higher concentrations, resulting from evaporation of lacustrine waters, are determined. Prospects of assessment of ore-generating
potential of the shallow lakes as ‘liquid ore’ sources in view of commercial extraction of Li, U, REE, and others metals are
discussed. 相似文献
The objective of this study is to understand and predict the alteration of porous rock by crystallization of salts. Samples
of different rocks have been tested according to the EN 12370 standard test. Two parameters are proposed to evaluate the alteration
of a rock during these tests. The alteration index AI represents the cycle in which the first damages occur. The alteration
velocity AV represents the alteration rate at the end of the experiment, when the decay has become regular. These parameters
can be estimated with the help of a microstructural study of the rocks. The most relevant intrinsic parameters of the stones
for this estimation are capillary coefficient, evaporation coefficient, tensile strength and P-waves velocity. An evaluation
of the alteration pattern is also proposed depending on the eventual heterogeneities and anisotropies of the rocks. The influence
of the dimension and shape of the samples is also discussed. 相似文献
The Daliao River System (DRS) is one of the major river systems in the northeastern China and receives substantial discharges from industrial, municipal, and agricultural effluents. In this study, the contents and partition of toxic trace elements in the DRS sediments were evaluated in terms of contamination levels and ecological risks using geoaccumulation index (Igeo), relative enrichment factor (REF), sediment pollution index (SPI), and potential effect concentration quotient (PECQ). Fourteen samples were collected and measured for trace and major elements and sediment properties. The following concentration ranges (mg kg?1) of toxic trace elements were found: As, 1.6–18.0; Cd 0.1–0.9; Co 3.8–23.4; Cr 12.9–151.6; Cu 4.6–86.1; Hg 0.01–0.35; Ni 8.4–64.4; Pb 11.6–67.1; Sb 0.13–1.77; V 18.5–153.3; and Zn 20.4–211.3. The proportions of soluble and exchangeable trace metals were less than 1 %, while the proportions of trace metals bound to carbonate, amorphous oxides, organic matter, and crystalline oxides were usually each <10 %. However, 28.8 % of Cd, on average, was associated with carbonate. The average proportions of trace metals in the residual fraction ranged 57.3 % for Cd to 85.4 % for Cr, indicating low mobility and bioavailability. Cr, Ni, V, and Co in the sediments mainly originated from natural sources, while Cd, As, Pb, Sb, and Hg partially originated from anthropogenic sources. The Igeo, REF, SPI, and PECQ values of the heavy metals in the sediment were not in agreement with each another. The average REF values of Cd and As were higher than those of the other metals. However, the average PECQ value was higher for Cr and Ni than for the other metals, indicating that these two metals would cause higher adverse biological effects than the other metals. In addition, the sediments located adjacent to cities were more contaminated. Therefore, it is suggested that future management and pollution control within the DRS might focus on As, Cd, Cr, and Ni in the sediments, particularly in the sediments adjacent to cities. 相似文献
The Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) is a spectropolarimeter built by four institutions in Spain that flew on board the Sunrise balloon-borne solar observatory in June 2009 for almost six days over the Arctic Circle. As a polarimeter, IMaX uses fast polarization modulation (based on the use of two liquid crystal retarders), real-time image accumulation, and dual-beam polarimetry to reach polarization sensitivities of 0.1%. As a spectrograph, the instrument uses a LiNbO3 etalon in double pass and a narrow band pre-filter to achieve a spectral resolution of 85 mÅ. IMaX uses the high-Zeeman-sensitive line of Fe i at 5250.2 Å and observes all four Stokes parameters at various points inside the spectral line. This allows vector magnetograms, Dopplergrams, and intensity frames to be produced that, after reconstruction, reach spatial resolutions in the 0.15??C?0.18 arcsec range over a 50×50 arcsec field of view. Time cadences vary between 10 and 33 s, although the shortest one only includes longitudinal polarimetry. The spectral line is sampled in various ways depending on the applied observing mode, from just two points inside the line to 11 of them. All observing modes include one extra wavelength point in the nearby continuum. Gauss equivalent sensitivities are 4 G for longitudinal fields and 80 G for transverse fields per wavelength sample. The line-of-sight velocities are estimated with statistical errors of the order of 5??C?40 m?s?1. The design, calibration, and integration phases of the instrument, together with the implemented data reduction scheme, are described in some detail. 相似文献
