AbstractStatic mixers are widely used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to improve the conversion efficiency and service life of the catalyst by better mixing ammonia and the exhaust stream. However, the structure of the mixer needs to be designed carefully to minimise the loss of the system pressure caused by its installation. In this work, experiments and simulations are conducted to evaluate the mixing performance of the static mixers and the system pressure loss. The simulations and experimental results have good agreement. Four novel static mixers are designed and compared with a commercial static mixer to demonstrate their performance. The results show that the box mixer can accomplish less pressure loss (690 Pa) and more homogenous mixing (CoV = 5.4%), and it can thus be used to improve the mixing of ammonia and the exhaust stream in SCR systems.KEYWORDS: Static mixerSCRmixingevaluationCFD Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by National Key Research and Development Program of China: [Grant Number 2022YFE0124300; 2022YFB3504104].Notes on contributorsYouhong XiaoYouhong Xiao, born in 1978, Ph.D. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from University of Strathclyde in 2009.

AbstractAs a new type of propulsion method, the shaftless rim-driven thruster (RDT) has become a research hotspot for ship propulsion due to the absence of the propeller propulsion shaft system setting and the advantages of small cabin occupancy, low noise and low vibration. Numerical investigations were performed to study the effect of blade inclination angle on the hydrodynamic performance of shaftless Rim-driven Thruster. To verify the feasibility of the simulation method, the No.19A + Ka4-70 duct propeller was analysed first and the geometric model of the RDT for the hydrodynamic properties was established in reverse engineering. The hydrodynamic performance of the shaftless rim thruster was studied based on the RANS method, and the performance data of this shaftless rim thruster at each inlet speed coefficient were obtained. Additionally, the characteristics of the change in the inclination angle of the blade relative to its centre axis were examined and the effect of the change in inclination angle on the hydrodynamic performance of the shaftless rim thruster was investigated. Additionally, the numerical calculation results show that a five degree increase in the Z-axis circumferential inclination results in the increase of all the hydrodynamic coefficients of the RDT. Among them, the total thrust is increased by about 14%, the total torque is increased by about 15% and the total efficiency is also comparable to the original thruster efficiency.

ABSTRACTUsing the panel data of listed shipbuilding enterprises from 2010 to 2021 all over the world, this paper empirically studies the impact of Research & Development investment on new orders received by shipbuilding enterprises using the panel fixed effect model and the threshold regression model. The results show that R&D investment has a positive impact on the new order of high-tech and high-value-added ships in shipbuilding enterprises. R&D investment has a time lag effect on the new orders and a non-linear relationship with the newly received orders. The 1-year lagged R&D investment has a single threshold effect on the newly received orders of liquid tankers. When the R&D investment intensity exceeds the threshold, the positive impact on the newly received orders is weakened. To be specific, when the excessive R&D investment intensity does not match the scientific research capacity of shipbuilding enterprises, enterprise resources will be mismatched. Therefore, shipbuilding enterprises should increase their investment in R&D if they want to build more high-tech and high-value-added ships. At the same time, enterprises should also pay attention not to blindly strengthen the R&D investment, but to keep it within a reasonable range, so that resources can be allocated appropriately.

Tip-clearance (TC) noise is significant in compressors and has garnered scholarly attention for the isolated rotor. However, applying these findings to marine compressors with rotor-stator-interaction (RSI) is challenging. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis was given of a marine 1.5-stage compressor. The investigation included five different TC configurations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mm) and the RSI was a focal point of the study. The accuracy of numerical calculations of the flow field was verified using experimental data. The results reveal a new phenomenon; the radial separation flow of the rotor’s trailing edge is mixed with the TC flow and a wake above the 90 span of the blade is formed. An understanding of this mixing mechanism is crucial for model that describes the effect of TC on the RSI. The single-tone sound source of the stator’s leading-edge tip area is the smallest when the TC is 0.25 mm. In contrast, the single-tone sound source is largest when the TC is equal to zero. Investigation of different TCs in three acoustic environments shows no obvious disparity in the single-tone acoustic power response of various TCs. There is, however, a correlation between the flow mixing mechanism and the noise.
