Regular micro-surface structure in the form of micro-pores produced on the face of mechanical seals by laser technology can be used to improve the friction performance of the seal mating rings. A test rig with variable axial load was used to test laser-textured seal rings with micro-pores of various pore depth and pore ratio to study the effect of the laser-textured seal face structure parameters on the friction performance of mechanical seals. It is found that there are optimum texturing face parameters at which the friction torque and the face temperature rise of seal rings are minimum. Results of these tests show that the micro-pores on one of the seal mating faces can generate substantial hydrodynamic effect. Heat generation due to frictional contact on seal-ring surfaces is a major factor that causes deterioration of face seals and shortens their service life[1,2]. Excessive temperature rise can be avoided by improving structure of a seal surface. By means of laser technology return-flow structure, oblique line groove and spherical micro-pores are engraved on the seal face[3-5]. The research shows that substantial hydrodynamic effect can be generated between the seal faces with micro-pores[6-8]. In this study experiments are performed on laser-textured micro-pores seal faces at various axial loads to investigate the effect of the face structure and operating parameters on friction torque and face temperature rise.
An analytical model is developed to study the effects of operation conditions and micro-pore geometry parameters on the friction performance of the mechanical seals with a laser-textured micro-pore face. Seal opening forces at various operation conditions and micro-pore geometry parameters are obtained from the solution of the Reynolds equation by the finite difference method. A derivative expression of the friction torque of the mechanical seals with a laser-textured micro-pore face is calculated and contributing factors of the friction torque are analyzed. It is shown that fiction torque increases with increase of the rotating speed. An optimum pore size that corresponds to minimum friction torque is found and is consistent with experimental results.
By using finite element software ANSYS, stress analysis was conducted to the annular sector semicircular cross section vessel which was made up of an annular sector plate, two semicircular plates and a semi-cylindrical with thicknesses of 20mm. The analysis results show that the maximum equivalent stress of the annular sector plate appears in the middle of the plate, and the maximum equivalent stress of the semicircular plate and the semi-cylindrical appear in the inner surface of the connections. The equivalent stress distribution trend of the annular sector plate, semicircular plates and the semi-cylindrical was obtained. Through these researches, the distribution trend of equivalent stress provided a reference for the design of the annular sector semicircular cross section vessel.
With the development and advancement of technology, modern industry has made rapid progress in improving the combustion performance of automobile exhaust heat in improving the combustion performance of automobile engines and reducing harmful emissions of automobile engines. This technology can not only improve the energy utilization of vehicle fuels. Efficiency can also reduce environmental pollution. The spiral array heat exchanger is an important equipment for waste heat recovery of automobile exhaust gas, which can fully recycle this waste heat energy. Therefore, this paper studies the structure optimization of spiral array heat exchangers, and plays an important role in the recovery of exhaust gas heat recovery, optimization of structure and enhancement of its comprehensive heat transfer performance.

In this paper, the entire structure and operating principles of the toss feeding typed stalk baler are introduced. The baler is mainly consisted of collecting, feeding, compression and knotting component. A Y-shaped straw chopper blade is used in the collecting. A combination component of auger and toss machine is adopted in the feeding system. The sliding block of compressor is driven by rod-crank mechanism. Structure analysis shows that the toss feeding typed straw baling machine has advantages of simple structure, high efficiency and low manufacturing cost. At the same time, the structural analysis provides an important theoretical basis for further optimal design of baling machine.
