Modeling of the bulk free radical polymerization up to high conversion—three stage polymerization model. II. Number-average molecular weight and apparent initiator efficiency

The equations for predicting the number-average molecular weight are derived on the basis of the three stage polymerization model (TSPM) in this paper. By applying the equations, a plotting approach is proposed to determine the apparent initiator efficiency defined as f[(α_td+1)/2] and the constant of chain transfer to monomer, where f is the initiator efficiency and α_td denotes the fraction of the termination rate constants by disproportionation. Using the approach to plot the experimental data in the literature, it is found that the chain transfer to monomer can be neglected for both methylmethacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) polymerizations, but it can exert a significant effect on ethylmethacrylate (EMA) polymerization. In addition, the apparent initiator efficiency is found to be independent of reaction temperature and initiator concentration at each stage. The values of f[(α_td+1)/2] at gel effect stage are slightly reduced as compared with that at low conversion stage for MMA and EMA polymerizations. However, it decreases significantly at gel effect stage for St polymerization. Using the equations derived and the apparent initiator efficiencies obtained from TSPM plots, the number-average molecular weights at different conversions can be predicted. Comparisons show that the agreement between predictions and experimental data is satisfactory.     

Semi-batch extraction of anthocyanins from red grape pomace in packed beds: experimental results and process modelling

A semi-batch extraction process of anthocyanins was studied in a packed bed. Methanol was used as solvent and the raw material studied consisted of skins of the tempranillo grape, which was obtained from the pomace from red wine vinification. The results show large diffusional effects due to strong control from the mass transfer. The best results were obtained using a high temperature and a high flow rate. A penetration model is proposed in terms of a bed of spherical particles. The model provides a value for the diffusion coefficient of the solute within the solid matrix. It can be seen that the adjustment of the model is satisfactory and that it is able to predict, to a reasonable extent, the yield of the extraction process.

Influence of heat transfer on anodic oxidation of aluminium

The influence of convective heat transfer on constant current density anodizing of aluminium in sulfuric acid has been examined in a wall-jet electrode reactor. The uniformity of the anodic film thickness is related to the local electrode temperature distribution, which is dependent on the convection. The higher the local temperature, the greater the local oxide thickness. An increased local temperature enhances local field assisted oxide dissolution at the pore bases, and consequently acts to increase the local current density. At relatively high current densities, local features develop on the electrode surface, accompanied by high initial, local temperature rises. The relevance of such local features, limiting useful oxide growth, is considered further.     

Design and characterisation of a close-concentric annular reactor for kinetic studies at high temperatures

A novel annular reactor for kinetic studies at high temperature and flow conditions has been designed to keep eccentricity tolerances below 10%. In a previous work, we have shown that it is very important to keep such low eccentricity values in order to collect reliable kinetic data from this type of reactors. As proposed in this study, a modified reactor with the use of a spacer could guarantee an annular duct with low levels of eccentricity. Manufacturing tolerances or deformation effects giving rise to eccentricity can be significantly minimised when using this apparatus. The reactor has been both experimentally and theoretically characterised. Carbon monoxide oxidation was used as a model reaction under mass-transfer limited conditions revealing an eccentricity of ∼5%. With such small eccentricity levels, a concentric annular form can be assumed in the reactor analysis. Simple 1D or 2D models can therefore be inexpensively used in the evaluation of the kinetic data. Also, prior to the design of the annular reactor, a numerical investigation was carried out to clarify the effects of eccentricity, physical properties of the carrier gas and the annular aspect ratio on mass-transfer limitations. Contrary to expectations, a considerable increase in the fuel mass-diffusivity by carrier gas substitution did not change the mass-transfer rates for cases when eccentricity and aspect ratios were high.

Modeling Condensation and Evaporation on Fruit Surface

Rewarming of fruits and vegetables after cooling is characterized by heat and mass transfer processes, which leads commonly to condensation of water on the produce surface at temperatures below the dew point. This effect may affect the produce quality due to microbial growth at unfavorable environmental conditions. The amount of condensed water is a function of the produce surface temperature and of the surrounding conditions as air temperature, air humidity, and air flow. Under practical conditions, both the warming and the condensation are strongly affected by the packaging system used. Depending on the flow conditions close to the produce surface, parameters of heat and mass transfer under laboratory conditions were measured. A mathematical model was developed for the determination of the amount of condensed water on fruit surfaces, its reevaporation, and its total dwell time dependent on the environment air conditions. The model describes the heat and mass transfer processes on single fruits. The process of diffusion of humidity in air and proceed of surface temperature is the basis for the model.     

Analysis and Optimization Laminar Viscous Flow Through a Channel

Optimizing of laminar viscous flow through a pipe by two dimensionless values is investigated analytically. Dimensionless entropy generation and pumping power to heat transfer rate ratio are used as basis for constant viscous and the temperature dependence on the viscosity. For this matter we calculate entropy generation and pumping power for a fully developed in a pipe subjected to constant wall temperature for either constant viscosity and the variable viscosity. The variation entropy generation increase along the pipe length for viscous fluid is drawn, either the variation summation dimensionless entropy generation and the pumping power to heat transfer rate ratio are varying the fluid inlet temperature for fixed pipe length and are varying pipe length for fixed fluid inlet temperature are drawn. For low heat transfer conditions the entropy generation due to viscosity friction becomes dominant and the dependence of viscosity with the temperature becomes essentially important to be considered.
