Study of a downward gas jet in a two–dimensional fluidized bed

The study of a downward gas jet was performed in a two–dimensional (2–D) fluidized bed of sand particles under conditions of minimum fluidization and at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The jet shifted through a cyclic sequence of left–central–right–central–left positions. The probability of the left and right jets was 40% each, while the less stable central jet occurred only 20% of the time. Discrete probability distributions of jet presence for each of the three jet configurations and an overall distribution are presented. They show that jets are dominant along the external walls of the nozzle. The depth of the downward jet increased with air flowrate in agreement with the correlation from Massimilla and Russo (1973).     

Digital image analysis of hydrodynamics two-dimensional bubbling fluidized beds

A new method of digital image analysis has been developed to study the hydrodynamics of two-dimensional bubbling fluidized beds with a digital video camera. The method comprises simultaneous of the size and velocity of gas bubbles, and the axial and radial distribution of bubble voidage. It provides a better estimation of the visible bubble flow than from local probe methods. Also a good estimation of the throughflow can be gotten, which is of great importance for combustor applications.Parallel to the approach of Darton et al. (Transactions of the Institution Chemical Engineering 55 (1977) 274) for three-dimensional fluidized beds, an equation for the bubble diameter of two-dimensional beds is developed,

     

Y-Faujasite Encapsulated Co Clusters: Synthesis, Characterization and Theoretical Model as Probe of the Methane Homologation

The adsorption of Co₂(CO)₈ onto the dehydrated Y-faujasite powder under an N₂ atmosphere and onto the tetrahydrofuran slurry of Y-faujasite under a mixed CO and H₂ atmosphere predominately yielded supported Co₄(CO)₁₂ and supported Co₆(CO)₁₆, respectively. The molecular cobalt-carbonyl clusters and their decarbonylated products have been structurally characterized by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The decarbonylated sample a possesses a cluster of two Co atoms and the decarbonylated sample b has a cluster phase of three Co atoms. The decarbonylated sample a exhibited higher CH₄ conversion and C₂₊ selectivity (C₂₊ selectivity = ∑nC _n(n = 2–5)/∑nC _n (n = 1–5) * 100%) in comparison with the decarbonylated sample b in methane homologation. A density functional theory (DFT) model was employed to calculate Co clusters adsorbed on a silica substrate which simulates Y-faujasite encapsulated Co clusters. The structural geometries, net spin electronic charge densities, energies of the metal–silica and metal–metal interactions in stable geometries are discussed and used to interpret the cluster size dependence of the catalytic activity and selectivity to C ₂₊ hydrocarbons in the methane homologation.     

Tunable microwave absorption properties of nickel-carbon nanofibers prepared by electrospinning

The nickel-carbon nanofibers (Ni-C NFs) were fabricated by the electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and nickel acetate tetrahydrate (NiAc) solution precursor with succedent PVA pyrolyzation and calcination process. The microwave absorption performance and electromagnetic (EM) parameters of the NFs were researched over the frequency range of 2.0–18.0?GHz. Both the impedance matching and EM wave absorption properties of the Ni-C NFs were improved by changing the carbonization temperature. The effect of graphitization degree on reflection loss (RL) and the possible loss mechanisms were directly displayed in the comparative study of each sample. The optimal RL value of ??44.9?dB and an effective frequency bandwidth of 3.0?GHz under a thickness of 3.0?mm can be reached by a sample calcined at 650?°C. These lightweight Ni-C NFs composites can be promising candidates for EM wave absorbers due to the combination of multiple loss mechanisms, nano-size effect and good impedance matching between Ni nanoparticles and CNFs.     

The effect of Al content on the wettability between liquid iron and MgOAl2O3 binary substrate

In the present study, the wettability between liquid iron with two different Al contents and MgOAl₂O₃ binary substrates was studied in reducing atmosphere. The contact angles between liquid iron with 18?ppm Al and MgO, MgO·Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃ were 133.5°, 113.7°, 126.9° respectively. With the variation of the substrate composition, the contact angles for the intermediate binary phases of the three components (MgO, MgO·Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃) obeyed the Cassie theory. In the experiment using iron with 370?ppm Al, all the contact angles were higher than that using low Al-containing iron. The surface of the iron drop was covered with an oxide layer, which mainly consisted of many small particles. With the variation of the substrate gradually from MgO to Al₂O₃, the composition of the oxide layer changed from MgO·Al₂O₃ to CaOAl₂O₃. The formation of the oxide layer prevented the spreading of liquid iron, leading to the increase of the contact angle.
