Thermal conversion (visbreaking) of heavy Iraqi residue

A heavy Iraqi residue was thermally cracked using a soaker visbreaking process at temperatures between 435 and 480 °C, with a range of residence times of 43–109 s in the coil and 151–379 s in the soaker. The pressure was kept constant at 7 bar. Visbroken products were characterized, evaluated and fractionated into light, middle and heavy cuts. The stability of the visbroken products was compared with that of the original feedstock. Also an activation energy was calculated for the visbreaking process and related to the severity of the process. The results obtained show that the conditions used were not severe and could be applied to obtain a required conversion depending on the uses of the products.     

Thermal strain of high strength polyethylene fiber in low temperature

High strength polyethylene fiber (Toyobo, Dyneema® fiber: hereinafter abbreviated to DF) has a negative thermal expansion coefficient. Relation between fiber structure and thermal strain of DF used as reinforcement of DF reinforced plastic (DFRP) for cryogenic use was investigated. The crystallinities and orientation angles of several kinds of polyethylene fibers having different modulus from 15 to 134Gpa (herein after abbreviated to DFs) were measured by NMR and X‐ray. We obtained the parameters of the mechanical series‐parallel model composed of crystal and amorphous by crystallinity and modulus. Thermal expansion coefficients of DFs were estimated by mechanical series‐parallel model. All DFs having different modulus showed negative thermal expansion coefficients in the temperature range from 180 to 300K, and absolute values of those markedly increased by increasing tensile modulus of DF. The estimated thermal expansion coefficients showed negative values, and thermal strains showed a similar curve to observed ones mostly. Average thermal expansion coefficients in the temperature range from 180 to 300K estimated by mechanical model agreed with the observed ones. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical properties and thermal stability of double‐shell thermal‐energy‐storage microcapsules

Double‐shell‐structured microcapsules encapsulating phase‐change materials (micro‐PCMs) with an average diameter of 5–10 μm were successfully fabricated with a melamine–formaldehyde resin as the coating material. The mechanical properties of the obtained piled micro‐PCMs, tested under compression, were evaluated with a pressure sensor. Typical stress–strain curves showed that both the single‐shell‐ and double‐shell‐structured microcapsules had yield points and maximum point pressures. The morphological changes in the shell surface confirmed the existence of yield points by scanning electron microscopy. When the pressure was beyond the yield point, the microcapsules showed conventional plastic behavior, and the double‐shell structure was more mechanically stable than the single‐shell one. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis results revealed that the properties of the phase‐change materials experienced no variation after coating with a single‐shell‐ or double‐shell‐structured polymer. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the double‐shell‐structured micro‐PCMs experienced a weight loss of only about 5% from 86.3 to 232°C but did so more rapidly from 232 to 416°C. Thermoregulation was determined with periodical heating and cooling tests. The data showed that the micro‐PCMs changed temperature in a narrow range of 20–25°C with a time lag of 20 min to reach the maximum or minimum temperature in comparison with a reference temperature of 18–28°C. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

EPDM硫化橡胶的热稳定性研究

对ＥＰＤＭ的过氧化物硫化、硫黄硫化和含硫化合物硫化以及两种不同硫化体系并用的硫化胶热稳定性进行比较，优选热稳定性较好的硫化体系用于产品的制造。采用过氧化二异丙苯（ＤＣＰ）硫化的硫化胶虽具有极好的热稳定性，但其耐撕裂性能较差，且价格较高。因此可考虑采用ＤＣＰ的并用硫化体系。当ＤＣＰ用量为５份，硫黄用量不超过１份时，硫化胶具有较好的热稳定性。     

2种高剪切搅拌器流动特性的CFD模拟

采用计算流体力学模拟方法对2种用于分散混合过程的高剪切搅拌器的流动特性进行研究分析,分别是转子定子搅拌器(RS)和多级叶轮式搅拌釜(CF)。本文从流场细节和功率消耗方面对其进行考察研究,从而为解释搅拌器中气泡的分散混合过程提供理论依据。模拟结果表明,在RS中流体大致呈周向流动,且剪切速率分布相对较为均匀,较高剪切速率不仅出现在转子到壁面的径向间隙处,而且出现在转子与定子之间的轴向间隙处:而在CF中,流体呈现较为明显的旋转流动,且剪切速率分布没有RS均匀,较高的剪切速率只出现在叶轮与壁面的径向间隙处。在相同转速下,虽然这2种搅拌器所形成的平均剪切速率差别不大,但CF中所形成的最大剪切速率大于RS,这也意味着相同操作条件下CF中所能形成的气泡尺寸更小,这与实验结果是一致的。对于这2种搅拌器,在层流区功率准数与搅拌雷诺数都成反比,且CFD模拟计算得到的结果与根据实验得到的关联式的结果基本一致。然而CF的功率消耗高于RS的功率消耗。

Thermal decomposition behavior of γ‐irradiated poly(vinyl acetate)/poly(methyl methacrylate) miscible blends

Miscible polymer blends based on various ratios of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared in film form by the solution casting technique using benzene as a common solvent. The thermal decomposition behavior of these blends and their individual homopolymers before and after γ‐irradiation at various doses (50–250 kGy) was investigated. The thermogravimetric analysis technique was utilized to determine the temperatures at which the maximum value of the rate of reaction (T_max) occurs and the kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition. The rate of reaction curves of the individual homopolymers or their blends before or after γ‐ irradiation displayed similar trends in which the T_max corresponding to all polymers was found to exist in the same position but with different values. These findings and the visual observations of the blend solutions and the transparency of the films gave support to the complete miscibility of these blends. Three transitions were observed along the reaction rate versus temperature curves; the first was around 100–200°C with no defined T_max, which may arise from the evaporation of the solvent. The second T_max was in the 340–380°C range, which depended on the polymer blend and the γ‐irradiation condition. A third transition was seen in the rate of reaction curves only for pure PVAc and its blends with PMMA with ratios up to 50%, regardless of γ‐ irradiation. We concluded that γ‐irradiation improved the thermal stability of PVAc/PMMA blends, even though the PMMA polymer was degradable by γ irradiation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silicon‐containing heterocyclic polymers and thin films made therefrom

Thin films, in the range of tens of micrometers thickness, have been prepared by casting onto glass plates the chloroform or N‐methylpyrrolidone solutions of polyimides or poly(imide‐amide)s containing silicon and phenylquinoxaline units in the main chain. The polymers have been synthesized by solution polycondensation reaction of aromatic diamines having preformed phenylquinoxaline rings with bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl)dimethylsilane dianhydride or with a diacid chloride resulting from the reaction of this dianhydride with p‐aminobenzoic acid. The polymers were easily soluble in polar aprotic solvents and showed high thermal stability. The free‐standing films exhibited good mechanical properties with tensile strengths in the range of 48–86 MPa, tensile modulus in the range of 1.25–2.22 GPa and elongation at break in the range of 3–37%. Electrical insulating properties of some polymer films were evaluated on the basis of dielectric constant and dielectric loss and their variation with frequency and temperature. The values of the dielectric constant at 10 kHz were in the range of 2.94–3.08 for polyimides and 3.89–4.49 for poly(imide‐amide)s. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
