Spouted and spout-fluid bed combustors 1: Devolatilization and combustion of coal volatiles

The devolatilization and volatile combustion of a single coal particle in spouted and spout-fluid beds have been studied. The results showed that the flame extinction time increases with the particle diameter, and decreases with the bed temperature. When the bed temperature and the air flow rate were fixed, the operation modes (spouted or spout-fluid bed) showed less effect on the mean flame extinction time. A mathematical model of the spouted bed mode for preignition and postignition periods has also been developed assuming the devolatilization rate to be controlled by heat transfer and multireaction pyrolysis kinetics based on volatile products. Ignition, heat transfer back from the volatile flame to the particle surface, variation in flame temperature, and the hydrodynamics of SB are taken into account. The model predictions, with some adjusting parameters, were in good agreement with experimental results.     

Characterization of Thai limestone for desulphurization in a fluidized bed combustor

The objective of this study is to determine the chemical kinetics of desulphurization of Thai limestone in an atmospheric fluidized bed combustor (AFBC). The experiments, which employed the batch technique using the limestone samples from six major sources in Thailand, were performed in a laboratory‐scale AFBC. The results obtained were analysed and correlated in the form of apparent reaction rate and deactivation rate constants as a function of operating conditions of the furnace and their properties, respectively. The formulae derived from these correlations were kept as general as possible in order that they could be used as input parameters for the selected mathematical model of desulphurization in an AFBC that is suitable for practical use. The predicted results were in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Scale Transition in Steel-Concrete Interaction. II:?Applications

The proposed mode of consideration of the steel-concrete interaction (Part I) is applied to real-life engineering structures. Two structures recently investigated numerically at Vienna University of Technology are considered: (1) the reinforced concrete (RC) cooling tower III Ptolema?s SES (Greece) and (2) a part of the shotcrete tunnel lining installed at the Lainzer tunnel (Austria). In both examples, the uniaxial fracture criterion used in Part I is replaced by the maximum stress (Rankine) criterion. Together with the Drucker-Prager criterion, which is used for the simulation of compressive failure of concrete/shotcrete, it defines the space of admissible stress states in the framework of multisurface plasticity. For the simulation of early-age fracture of shotcrete, consideration of the steel-concrete interaction presented in Part I of this paper is extended towards young shotcrete. Similar to the benchmark problem investigated in Part I of this paper, several analyses with different degrees of consideration of the steel-concrete interaction are performed. The obtained results give insight into the influence of the steel-concrete interaction on the load-carrying behavior of the investigated structures.

有机改性蒙脱土／木粉／PVC复合材料的阻燃性研究

将有机改性蒙脱土（OMMT）加入PVC木塑体系，制备了有机蒙脱土／木粉／聚氯乙烯（OMMT／WF／PVC）纳米复合材料。采用锥形扫描量热测试法研究了OMMT用量对WF／PVC复合材料阻燃性能的影响。结果表明，添加OMMT可明显降低木塑的初始热失重率，但使快速热分解的开始时间提前，大大提高样品的燃烧残余率，显著延迟木塑的点燃时间和燃烧热峰值产生时间，OMMT起到了有效的阻燃作用。OMMT的加入还降低了总燃烧热，但燃烧热峰值有所增加，并使发烟量有所增加，CO和CO2产率也随之提高，增加了木塑燃烧的烟气危害性。     

Preparation and ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolyte based on polyacrylonitrile‐polyethylene oxide

The transparent and flexible solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) were fabricated from polyacrylonitrile‐polyethylene oxide (PAN‐PEO) copolymer which was synthesized by methacrylate‐headed PEO macromonomer and acrylonitrile. The formation of copolymer is confirmed by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. The ionic conductivity was measured by alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy. Ionic conductivity of PAN‐PEO‐LiClO₄ complexes was investigated with various salt concentration, temperatures and molecular weight of PEO (Mn). And the maximum ionic conductivity at room temperature was measured to be 3.54 × 10^?4 S/cm with an [Li⁺]/[EO] mole ratio of about 0.1. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and photoconductivity study of phthalocyanine polymers. I. PAA–CuPc(NO2)2

Cu–dinitro–diamino phthalocyanine was synthesized and converted to the diazonium salt. Polyacrylamide bonded CuPc(NO₂)₂ [PAA–CuPc(NO₂)₂] (I) was synthesized by hot polymerization of acrylamide and this diazonium salt. Polymer(I) is water soluble and contains about 7 mol % CuPc(NO₂)₂ rings, which are covalently bonded to PAA. Polymer(I) shows good photoconductivity, which is much better than that of the corresponding phthalocyanine monomers. By doping with iodine (I₂), the photosensitivity of polymer(I) is increased, which through fluorescence analysis is explained by the fact that a charge–transfer complex (CTC) of polymer(I) with I₂ is formed. The influence of interface layer (IFL) and charge–transportation material (CTM) on the photoconductivity of polymer(I) were also studied.
