Carnot comparison of multi-temperature level absorption heat cycles

Comparison of different absorption heat cycles is not always made on the correct manner. This also includes comparison of an ideal absorption cycle with a mechanical analogy. A new Carnot model operating with two heat engines and two mechanical heat pumps is defined to be the correct and logical way to describe the mechanical analogy for an absorption heat pump and an absorption heat transformer. General equations for the Carnot coefficient of performance, COP_r, are exemplified and simulated for an absorption heat pump and an absorption heat transformer, and an entropy flow fraction diagram is introduced. The important fact that the absorption heat cycles must operate under the same conditions when they are compared is discussed.     

The thermodynamic performance of a new solution cycle in double absorption heat transformer using water/lithium bromide as the working fluids

In this paper, a new solution cycle in the double absorption heat transformer is presented and the thermodynamic performance of this new cycle is simulated based on the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solution of lithium bromide. The results show that this new cycle is superior to the cycle being studied by some researchers. This new solution cycle has a wider range of operation in which the system maintains the high value of COP and has larger temperature lifts and operation stability. The relationship between the absorber and the absorbing evaporator is more independent and this makes the operation and control of the system more easier.

Syngas production via combined oxy-CO2 reforming of methane over Gd2O3-modified Ni/SiO2 catalysts in a fluidized-bed reactor

In this research, Ni/SiO₂ catalyst was modified with different amount of Gd₂O₃ and characterized with temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ (CO₂-TPD) and NH₃ (NH₃-TPD), temperature-programmed reduction with H₂ (H₂-TPR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that Gd₂O₃-modified Ni/SiO₂ catalysts possessed higher CO₂ adsorption and activation ability due to the formation of surface carbonate species. H₂-TPR and XRD characterizations found that the strong interaction among nickel, Gd₂O₃ and SiO₂ took place, which improved the dispersion of Ni. Gd₂O₃-modified Ni/SiO₂ catalysts exhibited higher activity and stability for the combined oxy-CO₂ reforming of methane in fluidized-bed reactor. The H₂/CO ratio in produced syngas could be controlled via controlling reaction temperature and CO₂/O₂ ratio in feed.     

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.     

Aromatics saturation by sulfided Nickel---Molybdenum hydrotreating catalysts

The effect of H₂S on the rates of toluene hydrogenation of sulfided Mo, Ni, Ni---Mo and Ni---Mo---P/alumina catalysts has been determined at 6 MPa, 350°C over a large range of H₂S partial pressure. In those conditions, Ni/alumina is nearly inactive. For the three other catalysts, similar trends are found with in particular no effect of H₂S at high partial pressure. In the presence of NH₃, the effect of H₂S remains globally the same.     

Effet de la pression sur la transition ruisselant-pulsé dans les réacteurs catalytiques à lit fixe arrosé

The effect of pressure on transition displacement between trickle and pulsed regimes (TPR: trickle-pulsed transition) in catalytic trickle bed reactors (CTBR) is not properly predicted by existing theoretical models and empirical correlations. Based on high pressure TPR data available to date, a modified Charpentier diagram is proposed to quantify directly the effect of pressure in non-foaming systems.     

Microstructure evolution of nanostructured Ni3Al during annealing

A nanocrystalline layer was produced on the surface of Ni3Al intermetallic by means of surface mechanical attrition treatment. The surface nanocrystallites were annealed at 250-750 ℃ for 30 min. Microstructure evolution of nanocrystallites during annealing was studied by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electronic microscope （TEM）. The experimental results show that long-rang order recovers rapidly when annealing temperature is below 250℃ and changes slowly at 350-550 ℃, and then it increases rapidly at 750℃. The grain size of nanocrystallites of Ni3Al keeps stable and crystal defects recover when they are annealed below 550℃. The grains grow normally in low temperature annealing and abnormal growth occurs at 750℃.
