Metallochemical Analysis of the Reaction in a Mixture of Nickel and Aluminum Powders

Phaseformation processes are considered at the level of a mesocell of a mixture with the use of the state diagram for a binary system. Consecutive schemes of metallochemical reactions of formation and decomposition of intermetallide compounds in a mixture of nickel and aluminum powders are suggested. The problem of diffusion annealing of this mixture is numerically solved for two different conditions: at a constant temperature and at a temperature slowly increasing by a linear law.     

Electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction on a carbon supported platinum-vanadium alloy in polymer electrolyte fuel cells

The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon supported Pt:V 1:1 catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) was investigated. At an oxygen pressure of 1 atm results indicate a lower electrocatalytic activity for the ORR in the presence of vanadium. However, at an O₂ pressure ≥2 atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of PtV/C compared with Pt/C is revealed. This result indicates the occurrence of a different electrocatalytic mechanism for the ORR on Pt/C and PtV/C. An increase of mass transport overpotentials is observed for the PtV/C catalyst, and this was related to the presence of vanadium oxide. Indeed, XRD analysis revealed that only about 30% of V present in the catalyst is alloyed with Pt, forming a face centred cubic (fcc) Pt₃V solid solution. A thermal treatment at 850 °C under reducing atmosphere leads to the formation of an ordered fcc Pt₂V phase. After this, the ORR activity of PtV/C at O₂ pressure 1 atm is higher than that of Pt/C.     

Simulation of continuous solid‐phase polymerization of nylon 6,6. III. Simplified model

Solid‐phase polymerization (SPP) reactors are used to increase the degree of polymerization (DP) during nylon 6,6 production. In previous articles, a reactor model with partial differential equations (PDEs) in time and two spatial dimensions was developed to describe dynamic changes in polymer property profiles (DP, temperature, and moisture content) over the height of the reactor and within the polymer particles. In the current article, a simplified model is developed by deriving appropriate expressions for heat‐ and mass‐transfer coefficients and performing a lumped heat‐ and mass‐transfer analysis. Using this approach, the radial dimension is removed from the PDEs, so that the effort required to solve the model equations is substantially reduced. Predictions of the complex and simplified models are compared through simulation of two different start‐up processes. Good agreement between simplified and complex models is obtained, indicating that the simplified model can be used in place of the complex model if the polymer properties profiles within individual particles are not of particular concern to the model user. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

非均相固定化酶促反应中“抗激发互交作用”的解析分析与定量计算

通过理论推导证明：在外扩散与化学抑制共存的非均相固定化酶促反应中，总有效系数η为外扩散有效系数ηｄｉｆ和化学抑制有效系数ηｃｈ的乘积，并且分别小于相应的ηｄｉｆ和ηｃｈ；从数学上解释了外扩散抑制和一般性化学抑制间所存在的“抗激发互交作用”。利用所得公式计算表明：底物浓度对外扩散与竞争性、非竞争性和反竞争性等不同化学抑制共存的非均相固定化酶促反应有明显不同的影响；扩散抑制均显著地影响非均相固定化酶促反应，使得反应体系的总有效系数随抑制作用的增加而明显减小，从而对这类反应有了更进一步的认识     

Simulation studies on the fuel electrode of a H2---O2 polymer electrolyte fuel cell

The macro-homogeneous porous electrode theory is used to develop a model which describes the catalyst layer of the hydrogen electrode formed by catalyst particles that are bonded to the membrane. The water transport in the catalyst layer and polymer electrolyte membrane is considered. The effects of catalyst layer structure parameters such as polymer volume fraction, catalyst layer thickness, platinum loading and reactant gas humidity as well as CO poison on the hydrogen electrode behavior are examined. The results show that the catalyst layer thickness has a significant effect on the electrode performance. A thicker catalyst layer will result in a larger ohmic voltage loss and higher catalyst cost. The optimal polymer volume fraction and catalyst layer thickness are 0.5 and 1.5–4 μm, respectively, for this electrode. An optimal platinum surface coverage on carbon need not exceed 20% (20 wt% Pt/C). Larger platinum coverage will increase the cost, but only slightly enhance the electrode performance.     

Soil Apparent Electrical Conductivity (EC<Subscript>a</Subscript>) as a Means of Monitoring Changesin Soil Inorganic N on Heterogeneous Morainic Soils in SE Norway During Two Growing Seasons

An efficient method to monitor changes in soil inorganic N content during crop growth would be a useful means to guide N fertilization to ensure high yields and low N losses to the environment. In this study, soil apparent electrical conductivity (EC_a) measured by the widely used conductivity meter EM38 was tested as an indirect measurement of available N in spring barley during two cropping seasons at two sites with morainic loam in SE Norway. The experiment was constructed to maximize soil variation. In spite of the ȁ8noiseȁ9 caused by the soil heterogeneity, concentrations of inorganic N (cN_inorg) or NO₃-N were most strongly correlated with EC_a in both years and at both locations (with one exception). The measurements of EC_a reflected well the temporal variation in inorganic N content (N_inorg), and a ranking of the treatments based on EC_a fitted very well with a ranking based on N_inorg at the first three sampling times after fertilizing. The best subset of sensor variables (i.e. variables which can be measured ȁ8on-the-goȁ9 by sensor techniques in the field) described 27–69% (average 47%) of the variation in topsoil cN_inorg. When expanding the regression models to include pH as well, the degree of explanation increased significantly. In conclusion, the method of using EC_a appears to be quite robust in terms of detecting relative differences in cN_inorg, whereas a determination of absolute levels of cN_inorg with the method is unreliable.

Current problems in the modelling of chemical reactors

Modelling of chemical reactors is reviewed with an emphasis on process development and scale-up. A distinction is made between modelling of chemical kinetics, of rate processes in volume elements and of whole reactors. Examples are mainly taken from papers presented at the Sixth International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering. Special attention is given to the modelling of single phase reactors, fixed beds, trickle beds, fluid beds, and gas bubble reactors.     

Internal relative humidity distribution in high-performance cement paste due to moisture diffusion and self-desiccation

This investigation was carried out to study internal relative humidity (IRH) distribution of cement paste made with different water / cement ratios (w / c) and mineral admixtures in isothermal drying conditions. IRH changes in cement paste resulting from self-desiccation and moisture diffusion, respectively, at different ages were studied. The change laws of IRH in cement paste resulting from combining moisture diffusion with self-desiccation were discussed. The results indicate that IRH reduction of cement paste with w / c higher than 0.4 is mainly affected by moisture diffusion. However, IRH reduction of cement paste with w / c no higher than 0.4 is controlled by both moisture diffusion and self-desiccation. With the decrease of w / c, IRH reduction of cement paste resulting from self-desiccation increases, and IRH reduction resulting from moisture diffusion decreases at a given age. IRH decrement of cement paste incorporated with silica fume and ground blast-furnace slag is higher than that of control paste. w / c and the distance to the exposed surface play a significant role in IRH change resulting from moisture diffusion in isothermal drying condition. Change laws of IRH in cement paste with silica fume due to moisture diffusion considering self-desiccation are different from those in cement paste without silica fume.
