LiAlH4–ZrCl4 mixtures for hydrogen release at near room temperature

The dehydrogenation temperature of LiAlH₄ was significantly reduced by the production of mixtures with ZrCl₄. Stoichiometric 4:1, and 5 mol % mixtures of LiAlH₄ and ZrCl₄ were produced by ball milling at room temperature and ?196 °C, and tested for dehydrogenation at low temperature. Cryogenic ball-milling resulted in an effective way to produce reactive mixtures for hydrogen release; because of achieving small aggregates size (5–20 μm) in 10 min of cryomilling while preventing substantial decomposition during preparation. Dehydrogenation reaction in the mixtures LiAlH₄/ZrCl₄ started around 31–47 °C under different heating rates. Partial dehydrogenation was proved at 70 °C: 4.4 wt % for the 5 mol% ZrCl₄–LiAlH₄ mixture, and 3.4 wt % for the best 4:1 stoichiometric mixture. Complete dehydrogenation up to 250 °C released 6.4 wt% and 4.1 wt%, respectively. Dehydrogenation reactions are exothermic, and the LiAlH₄/ZrCl₄ mixtures are unstable and difficult to handle. The activation energy of the exothermic reactions was estimated as 113.5 ± 9.8 kJ/mol and 40.6 ± 6.6 kJ/mol for 4LiAlH₄+ZrCl₄ and 5%mol ZrCl₄+LiAlH₄ samples milled in cryogenic conditions, respectively. The dehydrogenation pathway was changed in the LiAlH₄/ZrCl₄ mixtures as compared to pure LiAlH₄. Dehydrogenation reaction is proposed to form Al, LiCl, Zr, and H₂ as main products. Modification of the dehydrogenation reaction of LiAlH₄ was achieved at the cost of reducing the total hydrogen release capacity.     

The effect of rice bran on physicochemical,textural and glycaemic properties of ready-to-eat extruded corn snacks

In this work, corn extruded snack products were enriched with rice bran (RB) at 10% and 15%. A co-rotating twin-screw extruder was used with a feed moisture content of 16 g 100 g⁻¹, a screw speed of 240 r.p.m. and four heating sections of the barrel (100, 140, 150 and 150 °C). The impact of RB inclusion on nutritional profile, starch digestion, physicochemical and textural properties of snack products was evaluated. RB-enriched extrudates showed a lower specific volume and hardness and higher crispness than control. RB at 15% gave a water-holding capacity lower than control. Rheology of extrudate dispersions indicated an increase in elastic interactions and solid-like behaviour with RB supplementation. Differences in rheological properties resulted in attenuation of predictive glycaemic response for RB-enriched snacks.     

三门峡水库汛期排沙效果研究

三门峡水库汛期排沙是解决泥沙淤积问题、控制潼关高程的关键途径。"蓄清排浑"运用以来,非汛期蓄水期库区发生淤积、汛期降低水位运用排泄全年泥沙,基本保持了库区动态冲淤平衡。不同控制水位和入库流量过程存在不同的排沙效果,针对三门峡水库汛期排沙过程的差异,对"蓄清排浑"运用以来汛期排沙特征进行统计,分析了水库敞泄和不同控制水位运用对排沙效果的影响。结果表明,在汛期平水305 m、洪水敞泄的运用条件下,水库排沙具有多来多排的特点,汛期排沙总量与入库含沙量和水量密切相关;完全敞泄时库区冲刷取决于流量大小和敞泄时间,净排沙效率随着水量的增加和敞泄时间的延长而减小,冲刷效率降低;汛期控制运用期,当流量在1000 m~3/s以上时、水位在305～311 m也会产生一定的排沙,排沙效果取决于含沙水流在壅水段的滞留时间和出入库流量之比。研究成果可为三门峡水库运用方式的优化提供依据。     

A novel profile with high efficiency for hydrogen-circulating Roots pumps used in FCVs

Low flow rate is one of the primary disadvantages of Roots pumps when they are applied in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. A novel profile for Roots pumps was developed in this paper to increase the working volume and reduce the internal leakage. The available range of the design parameters of the Roots pump with the new profile was determined analytically, and an improvement in the working volume was validated. The flow dynamics inside the traditional and new pumps were investigated by experiments and numerical simulations. The analytical results indicated that the maximum area utilization of the new profile was approximately 10.4% higher than that of the traditional profile at the same lobe number. The numerical results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed profile in high flow rate and sealing. The tip concentric arcs of the new profile reduced the internal leakage via the radial gap. The characteristic of multipoint meshing within a certain range of rotational angles reduced the interlobe leakage.     

Experimental study on combustion stability and performance of hydrogen-enriched compressed natural gas of a free-piston linear generator

Free Piston linear Generator (FPLG) engine fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG) has recently gained increased research attention. However, due to the low-velocity burning and poor lean limit of CNG fuel, the FPLG engine combustion stability, performance, and efficiency are still low. Hydrogen has a greater burning velocity with wider flame limits that could extend the lean burn limits and combustion characteristics of CNG. This paper compares pure CNG and 10% hydrogen-enriched CNG at various ignition speeds (0.6 ms, 0.8 m/s, and 1 m/s), injection positions (0 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm), and lambda ratios (0.9, 1.4 and 1.7) on the combustion characteristics, performance, and conversion efficiency are duly discussed. The findings show that the FPLG combustion stability limits increase with the hydrogen addition into the CNG. The CNG in-cylinder pressure increases significantly when the injection position is advanced, whereas the hydrogen addition reduces the influence of the injection position. The heat release rate increases by 15.62% and 23.72% with hydrogen addition, corresponding to the advanced and retarded injection positions. Consequently, the hydrogen addition increases the power RMS to 209.21 W and 232.64 W with an increment of 3.46% and 3.13%, respectively. Conclusively, the hydrogen addition into the CNG evidently shortens the combustion duration while improving the heat release rate, combustion stability, power RMS, Cycle-to-Cycle variation, and conversion efficiency.     

Comparison of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic dark fermentation with subsequent mesophilic methanogenesis in expanded granular sludge bed reactors

Herein, dark fermentation (DF, V = 5.5 L) and subsequent mesophilic methanogenesis (V = 43.5 L) are run as expanded granular sludge bed reactors (EGSB) at thermophilic (υDF = 60 °C) and hyperthermophilic (υDF = 80 °C) temperatures. A synthetic glucose wastewater is run with a 22.5 g/L chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 48–9 h hydraulic retention times (HRTs), giving organic loading rates (OLRs) of 11–60 g COD/L/d for DF. The maximum hydrogen production rate (HPR) is HPR = 3.0 m³/m³/d for HRT = 9 h with a 50 L/kg COD hydrogen yield (HY) and 40 vol% H₂. Methane production rate (MPR) reaches MPR = 2.6 m³/m³/d with 70 vol% CH₄ at HRT = 2.8 d. The highest H₂ yields are HY = 180 L/kg COD with 53 vol% H₂ (thermophilic, HRT = 48 h). Hyperthermophilic temperatures led to lower HPRs (0.7 m³/m³/d) and MPRs (1.6 m³/m³/d). 53% of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum as an H₂ producer are found. Discoloration of granular sludge from black to white and granule stability was observed in DF.     

Slow strain rate technique for studying hydrogen induced cracking in 34CrMo4 high strength steel

Alloy hardened steels offer excellent combination of mechanical properties, hardenability and corrosion resistance. 34CrMo4 is a medium carbon, low alloy steel widely used due to a good combination of high-strength, toughness and wear resistance. However, this steel experiences hydrogen embrittlement (HE), a complex phenomenon depending on the composition and microstructure. This work estimates de loss of the mechanical properties caused by hydrogen in electrochemically H-charged specimens in absence of mechanical stress but also, at low strain rate and constant load. H-charging for 2 and 6 h induce YS losses of about 40% and 71% and UTS losses of 39% and 59%, respectively. The synergistic effect of the stress and the H-charging process leads to a higher loss, 91%, and a faster brittle fracture even though hydrogen content is similar to those firstly H-charged and then tested in air.     

The effects of warmth and CO2 concentration,with and without bioeffluents,on the emission of CO2 by occupants and physiological responses

The emission rate of carbon dioxide (CO₂) depends on many factors but mainly on the activity level (metabolic rate) of occupants. In this study, we examined two other factors that may influence the CO₂ emission rate, namely the background CO₂ concentration and the indoor temperature. Six male volunteers sat one by one in a 1.7 m³ chamber for 2.5 h and performed light office-type work under five different conditions with two temperature levels (23 vs. 28°C) and three background concentrations of CO₂ (800 vs. 1400 vs. 3000 ppm). Background CO₂ levels were increased either by dosing CO₂ from a cylinder or by reducing the outdoor air supply rate. Physiological responses to warmth, added CO₂, and bioeffluents were monitored. The rate of CO₂ emission was estimated using a mass-balance equation. The results indicate a higher CO₂ emission rate at the higher temperature, at which the subjects were warm, and a lower emission rate in all conditions in which the background CO₂ concentration increased. Physiological measurements partially explained the present results but more measurements are needed.
