Calculation methods for comparing the performance of pure and mixed working fluids in heat pump applications

Three methods for comparing cycle performance of working fluids, pure as well as non-azeotropic mixtures, are investigated for two applications and for two mixture pairs, HCFC22-CFC114 and HCFC22-HCFC142b, and their pure components. The methods differ in the way of calculating the heat exchange processes. They assume, respectively, equal minimum approach temperatures, equal mean temperature differences and equal heat transfer areas. Changes of coefficient of performance (COP) with composition are explained for all methods. It is shown that transport properties must be taken into account when making rigorous comparisons between working fluids. To predict the relations between fluids with high accuracy, one must use the method with equal heat transfer areas. By the method with equal mean temperature differences, the COP can be estimated with the same accuracy for mixtures as for pure fluids, and can be used for rough estimations of the COP level with different fluids. The method of equal minimum approach temperatures should be avoided for non-azeotropic mixtures.

Power of a Unit‐Root Test and the Initial Condition

Abstract. It is now well known that how the initial observation is generated can have a significant effect on the power of a unit‐root test. In this article, we show that by taking a simple data‐dependent weighted average of the initial condition‐robust test of Elliott and Müller [Journal of Econometrics (2006), forthcoming] and the standard augmented Dickey–Fuller test, we are able to produce a new unit‐root test that can improve power, both asymptotically and in finite samples, over a wide range of possibilities governing the generation of the initial observation.     

A Modified Nonparametric Prewhitened Covariance Estimator

Abstract. This paper proposes a fully modified version of the spectral matrix estimator (and the long‐run variance estimator as a special case) proposed originally by Xiao and Linton [Journal of Time Series Analysis (2002) Vol. 23, pp. 215–250], and derives its asymptotic results. A striking feature of the modified spectral matrix estimator is to achieve the convergence rate of O(T ^?8/9) in the mean squared error (MSE), which is usually achieved under the fourth‐order spectral window. However, this estimator does not sacrifice the positive definiteness of the resulting estimate for the rate improvement; it is Hermitian and positive definite in finite samples by construction. The faster convergence rate is established by a multiplicative bias correction of the crude spectral estimator under the second‐order spectral window. The approximations to some sensible definitions of the MSE of the estimator and the bandwidths that minimize the asymptotic MSEs are also derived. Monte Carlo results indicate that for a wide variety of processes the modified spectral matrix estimator reduces the bias without inflating the variance and thus improves the MSE, compared with the crude, bias‐uncorrected estimator.     

Isobutane/2-butene alkylation on MCM-22 catalyst. Influence of zeolite structure and acidity on activity and selectivity

The catalytic behavior of the novel MCM-22 zeolite for the continuous alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene has been investigated at a temperature of 50°C, 2.5 MPa total pressure, and a variety of olefin space velocities. At high olefin conversions the MCM-22 zeolite showed a very high initial cracking activity attributable to strong Brønsted acid sites, as well as to the existence of strong diffusional restrictions of the TMP's (formed inside the zeolite) to exit through the channels. At short times on stream (TOS), TMP's account for ca. 40% of the C₈ fraction. The olefin conversion and the cracking activity rapidly decline with TOS, while the alkylate product became richer in dimethylhexenes, indicating a predominance of 2-butene dimerization and a loss of hydrogen transfer activity as the catalyst aged. Moreover, MCM-22 gives less TMP's than large-pore zeolites (USY, beta, mordenite), but more than the mediumpore ZSM-5 at similar 2-butene conversion. The latter catalyst was much more selective for olefin dimerization than for isobutane alkylation, presumably because formation of the bulkier TMP's was strongly impeded in its smaller pores.     

Catalytic cracking of 1-butene to propene and ethene on MCM-22 zeolite

Catalytic cracking of butene to propene and ethene was investigated over HMCM-22 zeolite. The performance of HMCM-22 zeolite was markedly influenced by time-on-stream (TOS) and reaction conditions. A rapid deactivation during the first 1 h reaction, followed by a quasi-plateau in activity, was observed in the process along with significant changes in product distributions, which can be attributed to the fast coking process occurring in the large supercages of MCM-22.

Properly selected reaction conditions can suppress the secondary reactions and enhance the production of propene and ethene. According to the product distribution under different butene conversion, we propose a simple reaction pathway for forming the propene, ethene and by-products from butene cracking.

HMCM-22 exhibited similar product distribution with the mostly used high silica ZSM-5 zeolite under the same conversion levels. High selectivities of propene and ethene were obtained, indicating that the 10-member ring of MCM-22 zeolite played the dominant role after 1 h of TOS. However, MCM-22 exhibited lower activity and stability than that on high silica ZSM-5 zeolite with longer time-on-stream.

MCM-22沸石催化剂的苯与长链烯烃烷基化性能

用NH3-TPD法研究了4种不同硅铝摩尔比的MCM-22沸石的酸性质,在常压间歇式反应器中考察了它们在苯与长链烯烃烷基化反应中的催化性能,并与HY和HZSM-5沸石催化剂进行了比较。实验结果发现MCM-22的催化活性与其强酸量有一致的关系,与其硅铝摩尔比无对应关系;MCM-22的活性比HY低,但对2-P的选择性远远高于HY,这说明了MCM-22对2-P具有形状选择作用。
