Application of Discrete Lumped Kinetic Modeling on Vacuum Gas Oil Hydrocracking

The kinetic model of vacuum gas oil （VGO） hydrocracking based on discrete lumped approach was investigated, and some improvement was put forward at the same time in this article. A parallel reaction scheme to describe the conver- sion of VGO into products （gases, gasoline, and diesel） proposed by Orochko was used. The different experimental data were analyzed statistically and then the product distribution and kinetic parameters were simulated by available data. Fur- thermore, the kinetic parameters were correlated based on the feed property, reaction temperature, and catalyst activity. An optimization code in Matlab 2011b was written to fine-me these parameters. The model had a favorable ability to predict the product distribution and there was a good agreement between the model predictions and experiment data. Hence, the ki- netic parameters indeed had something to do with feed properties, reaction temperature and catalyst activity.

THE UNCONDITIONAL STABILITY OF PARALLEL DIFFERENCE SCHEMES WITH SECOND ORDER CONVERGENCE FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC SYSTEM

For solving nonlinear parabolic equation on massive parallel computers, the construction of parallel difference schemes with simple design, high parallelism and unconditional stability and second order global accuracy in space, has long been desired. In the present work, a new kind of general parallel difference schemes for the nonlinear parabolic system is proposed. The general parallel difference schemes include, among others, two new parallel schemes. In one of them, to obtain the interface values on the interface of sub-domains an explicit scheme of Jacobian type is employed, and then the fully implicit scheme is used in the sub-domains. Here, in the explicit scheme of Jacobian type, the values at the points being adjacent to the interface points are taken as the linear combination of values of previous two time layers at the adjoining points of the inner interface. For the construction of another new parallel difference scheme, the main procedure is as follows. Firstly the linear combination of values of previous two time layers at the interface points among the sub-domains is used as the （Dirichlet） boundary condition for solving the sub-domain problems. Then the values in the sub-domains are calculated by the fully implicit scheme. Finally the interface values are computed by the fully implicit scheme, and in fact these calculations of the last step are explicit since the values adjacent to the interface points have been obtained in the previous step. The existence, uniqueness, unconditional stability and the second order accuracy of the discrete vector solutions for the parallel difference schemes are proved. Numerical results are presented to examine the stability, accuracy and parallelism of the parallel schemes.

Parallel difference schemes with interface extrapolation terms for quasi-linear parabolic systems

In this paper some new parallel difference schemes with interface extrapolation terms for a quasi-linear parabolic system of equations are constructed. Two types of time extrapolations are proposed to give the interface values on the interface of sub-domains or the values adjacent to the interface points, so that the unconditional stable parallel schemes with the second accuracy are formed. Without assuming heuristically that the original boundary value problem has the unique smooth vector solution, the existence and uniqueness of the discrete vector solutions of the parallel difference schemes constructed are proved. Moreover the unconditional stability of the parallel difference schemes is justified in the sense of the continuous dependence of the discrete vector solution of the schemes on the discrete known data of the original problems in the discrete W2(2,1) (Q△) norms. Finally the convergence of the discrete vector solutions of the parallel difference schemes with interface extrapolation terms to the unique generalized solution of the original quasi-linear parabolic problem is proved. Numerical results are presented to show the good performance of the parallel schemes, including the unconditional stability, the second accuracy and the high parallelism.

A scheme of optical interconnection for super high speed parallel computer

An optical cross connection network which adopts coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and data packet is introduced. It can be used to realize communication between multi-CPU and multi-MEM in parallel computing system. It provides an effective way to upgrade the capability of parallel computer by combining optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and data packet switching technology. CWDM used in network construction, optical cross connection (OXC) based on optical switch arrays, and data packet format used in network construction were analyzed. We have also done the optimizing analysis of the number of optical switches needed in different scales of network in this paper. The architecture of the optical interconnection for 8 wavelength channels and 128 bits parallel transmission has been researched. Finally, a parallel transmission system with 4 nodes, 8 channels per node, has been designed.
