A series of energy dissipation tests were carried out on the symmetrically coated damping structure at 20–300 ◦C. Based on the energy dissipation test results, the hysteresis loop was drawn. The effects of temperature, vibration amplitude, frequency, and density of EMWM on the energy dissipation characteristics of coated damping structures were investigated. A nonlinear energy dissipation model of the symmetrically coated damping structure with temperature parameters was established through the accurate decomposition of the hysteresis loop. The parameters of the nonlinear model were identified by the least square method. The energy dissipation test results show that the symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines had excellent and stable damping properties, and the established model could well describe the changing law of the restoring force and displacement of the symmetrically coated damping structure with amplitude, frequency, density, and ambient temperature. It is possible to reduce the vibration of pipelines in a wider temperature range by replacing different metal wires. Keywords: symmetrically coated damping structure; entangled metallic wire material; porous material; parameter identification; energy dissipation; high temperature 1. Introduction Pipelines exist widely in military, civilian, and other fields. The vibration control method of the pipeline includes active control and passive control. Compared with active control technology, passive control (e.g., rubber pipe clamp) has low cost, mature and reliable, and has been widely used. However, the damping performance of the traditional polymer material is poor at high temperature environment [1,2], the vibration reduction of high temperature pipeline is a great challenge for designers and researchers, especially when the temperature exceeds 200 ◦C. Entangled metallic wire materials (EMWM) is a promising porous material made of metallic wire helixes. It is sometimes referred to as “metal rubber (MR)” [3–5], “metal wire mesh (MWM)” [6], or “tangled metal wire (TMW) devices” [7]. Because of its special spatial network structure, EMWM has good elasticity and damping characteristics. Moreover, because EMWM is all-metal material, it has good environmental adaptability. Therefore, EMWM has been used in extreme environments [8], such as aircraft air cycle machines, turbo blowers, and micropower generators [9–11]. Some scholars Symmetry 2020, 12, 1283; doi:10.3390/sym12081283 www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry Symmetry 2020, 12, 1283 2 of 17 have made a preliminary exploration on the mechanical properties of EMWM at high temperature environment. Ding et al. performed a series of quasi-static compression experiments for plate-like EMWM in the temperature range of 20–500 ◦C and pointed out that the stiffness of EMWM will not fail with the increase of temperature [12]. Hou et al. proposed a new damping capacity measurement method for EMWM and conducted a damping performance test for EMWM in the temperature range of 70–300 C[13]. They reported that the damping capacity of EMWM exhibits good resistance of − ◦ high–low temperature. An EMWM insertion damping structure was proposed by Zhu et al. [14] and applied to the vibration reduction design of foundation under high temperature (300 ◦C). Zhu et al. reported that the maximum insertion loss could reach 15.37 dB. It is an interesting attempt to use EMWM to reduce the vibration of the pipeline. A novel coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines was designed by replacing a viscoelastic damping material with multiple EMWM blocks, which were uniformly distributed on the outer wall of the pipeline [15]. Xiao et al. proposed a theoretical model of the cladding damping structure for EMWM and carried out the test of pipeline vibration reduction at room temperature [16]. Wu et al. designed a coated damping structure for metal rubber (MR) of bellows, in which metal rubber was coated on the bellows by wire rope [17]. They conducted a dynamically tested on their structure in the bending direction at normal temperature and reported that the coated damping structure for metal rubber of bellows has a strong damping energy dissipation ability. Ulanov et al. proposed a calculation method of pipeline vibration with damping supports made of the MR material by means of the finite element ANSYS software package [18]. However, the effectiveness of the calculation method was not verified by experiments, and the effect of temperature on the structure was not taken into account. Although Bai [15], Xiao [16] and Wu [17] have verified the effectiveness of EMWM in pipeline vibration reduction, they did not take into account the effect of temperature and only carried out experiments and analysis at room temperature. This paper designs a symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines, and investigates the energy dissipation characteristics of the designed structure in the temperature range of 20–300 ◦C. The effects of vibration frequency, amplitude, density, and temperature on the energy dissipation characteristics of the structure are analyzed. To provide an effective theoretical basis for predicting the energy dissipation characteristics of the symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines and guiding its design under high temperature, a model of nonlinear elastic restoring force is set up, which describes the dynamic characteristics of the coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines under different temperature. 2. Design of the Symmetrically Coated Damping Structure for EMWM of Pipelines To reduce the vibration of pipelines under different temperature environment, a symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines was designed as shown in Figure1. The coated damping structure is composed of plate-like EMWMs, constraining rings, pipe section and bolts. This structure is a kind of elastic damping pipe clip. Symmetrically installed EMWMs are the main energy dissipation elements of the structure.

China. 4 Powerchina Guiyang Engineering Corporation Limited, Guizhou, 550081, China. Abstract˖According the current hydropower development plan in China, numbers of hydraulic power plants with height over 300 meters will be built in the western region of China. These hydraulic power plants would be in crucial situation with the problems of high water head, huge discharge and narrow riverbed. Spillway is the most common structure in power plant which is used to drainage and flood release. According to the previous research, the velocity would be reaching to 55 m/s and the discharge can reach to 300 m3/s.m during spillway operation in the dam height over 300 m. The high velocity and discharge in the spillway may have the problems such as atomization nearby, slides on the side slope and river bank, Vibration on the pier, hydraulic jump, cavitation and the negative pressure on the spill way surface. All these problems may cause great disasters for both project and society. This paper proposes a novel method for flood release on high water head spillway which is named Rumei hydropower spillway located in the western region of China.

  • The Dissipation-Time Uncertainty Relation
    The dissipation-time uncertainty relation Gianmaria Falasco∗ and Massimiliano Esposito† Complex Systems and Statistical Mechanics, Department of Physics and Materials Science, University of Luxembourg, L-1511 Luxembourg, Luxembourg (Dated: March 16, 2020) We show that the dissipation rate bounds the rate at which physical processes can be performed in stochastic systems far from equilibrium. Namely, for rare processes we prove the fundamental tradeoff hS˙eiT ≥ kB between the entropy flow hS˙ei into the reservoirs and the mean time T to complete a process. This dissipation-time uncertainty relation is a novel form of speed limit: the smaller the dissipation, the larger the time to perform a process.

  • Energetics of a Turbulent Ocean
    Energetics of a Turbulent Ocean Raffaele Ferrari January 12, 2009 1 Energetics of a Turbulent Ocean One of the earliest theoretical investigations of ocean circulation was by Count Rumford. He proposed that the meridional overturning circulation was driven by temperature gradients. The ocean cools at the poles and is heated in the tropics, so Rumford speculated that large scale convection was responsible for the ocean currents. This idea was the precursor of the thermohaline circulation, which postulates that the evaporation of water and the subsequent increase in salinity also helps drive the circulation. These theories compare the oceans to a heat engine whose energy is derived from solar radiation through some convective process. In the 1800s James Croll noted that the currents in the Atlantic ocean had a tendency to be in the same direction as the prevailing winds. For example the trade winds blow westward across the mid-Atlantic and drive the Gulf Stream. Croll believed that the surface winds were responsible for mechanically driving the ocean currents, in contrast to convection. Although both Croll and Rumford used simple theories of fluid dynamics to develop their ideas, important qualitative features of their work are present in modern theories of ocean circulation. Modern physical oceanography has developed a far more sophisticated picture of the physics of ocean circulation, and modern theories include the effects of phenomena on a wide range of length scales. Scientists are interested in understanding the forces governing the ocean circulation, and one way to do this is to derive energy constraints on the differ- ent processes in the ocean.

  • Hydroelectric Power -- What Is It? It=S a Form of Energy … a Renewable Resource
    INTRODUCTION Hydroelectric Power -- what is it? It=s a form of energy … a renewable resource. Hydropower provides about 96 percent of the renewable energy in the United States. Other renewable resources include geothermal, wave power, tidal power, wind power, and solar power. Hydroelectric powerplants do not use up resources to create electricity nor do they pollute the air, land, or water, as other powerplants may. Hydroelectric power has played an important part in the development of this Nation's electric power industry. Both small and large hydroelectric power developments were instrumental in the early expansion of the electric power industry. Hydroelectric power comes from flowing water … winter and spring runoff from mountain streams and clear lakes. Water, when it is falling by the force of gravity, can be used to turn turbines and generators that produce electricity. Hydroelectric power is important to our Nation. Growing populations and modern technologies require vast amounts of electricity for creating, building, and expanding. In the 1920's, hydroelectric plants supplied as much as 40 percent of the electric energy produced. Although the amount of energy produced by this means has steadily increased, the amount produced by other types of powerplants has increased at a faster rate and hydroelectric power presently supplies about 10 percent of the electrical generating capacity of the United States. Hydropower is an essential contributor in the national power grid because of its ability to respond quickly to rapidly varying loads or system disturbances, which base load plants with steam systems powered by combustion or nuclear processes cannot accommodate. Reclamation=s 58 powerplants throughout the Western United States produce an average of 42 billion kWh (kilowatt-hours) per year, enough to meet the residential needs of more than 14 million people.

  • Turbine By-Pass with Energy Dissipation System for Transient Control
    September 2014 Page 1 TURBINE BY-PASS WITH ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEM FOR TRANSIENT CONTROL J. Gale, P. Brejc, J. Mazij and A. Bergant Abstract: The Energy Dissipation System (EDS) is a Hydro Power Plant (HPP) safety device designed to prevent pressure rise in the water conveyance system and to prevent turbine runaway during the transient event by bypassing water flow away from the turbine. The most important part of the EDS is a valve whose operation shall be synchronized with the turbine guide vane apparatus. The EDS is installed where classical water hammer control devices are not feasible or are not economically acceptable due to certain requirements. Recent manufacturing experiences show that environmental restrictions revive application of the EDS. Energy dissipation: what, why, where, how, ... Each hydropower plant’s operation depends on available water potential and on the other hand (shaft) side, it depends on electricity consumption/demand. During the years of operation every HPP occasionally encounters also some specific operating conditions like for example significant sudden changes of power load change, or for example emergency shutdown. During such rapid changes of the HPP’s operation, water hammer and possible turbine runaway inevitably occurs. Hydraulic transients are disturbances of flow in the pipeline which are initiated by a change from one steady state to another. The main disturbance is a pressure wave whose magnitude depends on the speed of change (slow - fast) and difference between the initial and the final state (full discharge – zero discharge). Numerous pressure waves are propagating along the hydraulic water conveyance system and they represent potential risk of damaging the water conveyance system as well as water turbine in the case of inappropriate design.

  • Evaluating the Transient Energy Dissipation in a Centrifugal Impeller Under Rotor-Stator Interaction
    Article Evaluating the Transient Energy Dissipation in a Centrifugal Impeller under Rotor-Stator Interaction Ran Tao, Xiaoran Zhao and Zhengwei Wang * 1 Department of Energy and Power Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China; [email protected] (R.T.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 February 2019; Accepted: 8 March 2019; Published: 11 March 2019 Abstract: In fluid machineries, the flow energy dissipates by transforming into internal energy which performs as the temperature changes. The flow-induced noise is another form that flow energy turns into. These energy dissipations are related to the local flow regime but this is not quantitatively clear. In turbomachineries, the flow regime becomes pulsating and much more complex due to rotor-stator interaction. To quantitatively understand the energy dissipations during rotor-stator interaction, the centrifugal air pump with a vaned diffuser is studied based on total energy modeling, turbulence modeling and acoustic analogy method. The numerical method is verified based on experimental data and applied to further simulation and analysis. The diffuser blade leading-edge site is under the influence of impeller trailing-edge wake. The diffuser channel flow is found periodically fluctuating with separations from the blade convex side. Stall vortex is found on the diffuser blade trailing-edge near outlet. High energy loss coefficient sites are found in the undesirable flow regions above. Flow-induced noise is also high in these sites except in the stall vortex. Frequency analyses show that the impeller blade frequency dominates in the diffuser channel flow except in the outlet stall vortexes.
