Evaluation of the Physicochemical Properties and Antiaging Properties of Bitumen Mastic Modified by Layered Double Hydroxides

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can shield polymeric materials from UV light, which allows reducing material aging and erosion damage of bituminous pavement under physical and chemical action. In this study, the physicochemical properties, aging resistance, and erosion resistance to the aqueous solution of LDHs modified bitumen mastic (BM) were...

Kinetic analysis on premixed oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas at ultra-rich conditions: Selective combustion and super-adiabatic flame temperatures

Oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas has recently been proposed to serve as internal heat source of a vertical low-temperature pyrolysis furnace, in order to make the output pyrolysis gas nearly free of nitrogen and widely useful. To keep the pyrolysis temperature and the heat carrier gas volume unchanged from air combustion to oxy-fuel...

Composition regulation of composite materials in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing

Understanding and controlling the composition segregation during powder spreading is of key importance in the additive manufacturing (AM) of composite materials. Under this circumstance, the segregation behavior of WC/316 L composite powders during spreading in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AM was numerically investigated by the discrete...

Numerical study of a turbulent co-axial non-premixed flame for methanol hydrothermal combustion: Comparison of the EDC and FGM models

Eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model and flamelet generated manifolds (FGM) model are developed separately to study the temperature profiles and extinction limits of non-premixed hydrothermal flames. Predictions by the two models are evaluated comparatively by experimental data in literatures. FGM model shows relatively better prediction of...
