The equilibrium calculations employing the Gibbs energy minimization were performed upon wide ranges of pressure (1-25 atm), temperature (600-1300 K), carbon dioxide to methane ratio (0-2) and oxygen to methane ratio (0-1). The thermodynamic results were compared with the results obtained over a Ru supported catalyst. The results revealed that by increasing the reaction pressure methane conversion decreased. Also it was found that the atmospheric pressure is the preferable pressure for both dry reforming and partial oxidation of methane and increasing the temperature caused increases in both activity of carbon and conversion of methane. The results clearly showed that the addition of O2 to the feed mixture could lead to a reduction of carbon deposition.展开更多

The effects of temperature, C/O ratio, additive types, and dosages both on the reduction of fluorapatite and the formation of liquid slag were studied. The results show that the minimum thermodynamic reduction temperature of fluorapatite by carbon decreases to about 850°C, which is mainly ascribed to the presence of SiO_2, Al_2O_3, and Fe. The reduction rate of fluorapatite increases and the amount of liquid slag decreases with the rise of C/O ratio. The reduction of fluorapatite is hindered by the addition of CaO and Na_2CO_3, thereby allowing the selective reduction of iron oxides upon controlled C/O ratio. The thermodynamic results obtain in the present work are in good agreement with the experimental results available in the literatures.展开更多

Zircon and carbon black were mixed according to the C/ZrSiO4 mass ratio of 0.2, and with 0, 1wt% and 2wt% extra addition of La2O3. Phase evolution of the mixture was investigated at 1723-1803 K by X-ray powder diffraction, and the microstructure of the product prepared at 1803 K for 4 h was examined by scanning electronic microscope. The results show that the decomposition of ZrSiO4 and the formation of β-SIC can be promoted by increasing the heating temperature and adding La2O3. The β-SiC/ZrO2 composites can be prepared at 1803 K for 4 h in a mixture of zircon, carbon black and La2O3, and the contents of β-SIC and m-ZrO2 in the product sample with 2wt% La2O3 reach the highest values of 10.8wt% and 89.2wt%, respectively.

The hydrocarbon refrigerants considered are propane(R290), butane(R600), isobutane(R600a), and propylene(R1270).

Results show that R600 a gives the best performance, followed by(in order) R600, R290, and R1270. Furthermore, it is found that an increase in tank temperature improves system performance but that an increase in refrigerant condensation temperature causes deterioration.

There are not environmental-unfriendly gases such as NOx, CO2 discharged in the whole combustion process. Combustion processes realizes zero emission through this technology. Fe2O3 is involved as oxygen carrier, is examined thermodynamically, and the thermodynamic data of the redox reactions are calculated. Using the criteria of minimizing the Gibbs free energy, the equilibrium composition was investigated. The equilibrium analysis shows that producing complete oxidized resultants must have high molar ratio of Fe2O3/CH4. If quantity of Fe2O3 is not sufficient, more partial oxidized products such as CO, H2, even C will be produced.展开更多

文摘A thermodynamic analysis of methane oxidative reforming was carried out by Gibbs energy minimization (at constant pressure and temperature) and entropy maximization (at constant pressure and enthalpy) methods,to determine the equilibrium compositions and equilibrium temperatures,respectively.Both cases were treated as optimization problems (non-linear programming formulation).The GAMS 23.1 software and the CONOPT2 solver were used in the resolution of the proposed problems.The hydrogen and syngas production were favored at high temperatures and low pressures,and thus the oxygen to methane molar ratio (O 2 /CH 4) was the dominant factor to control the composition of the product formed.For O 2 /CH 4 molar ratios higher than 0.5,the oxidative reforming of methane presented autothermal behavior in the case of either utilizing O 2 or air as oxidant agent,but oxidation reaction with air possessed the advantage of avoiding peak temperatures in the system,due to change in the heat capacity of the system caused by the addition of nitrogen.The calculated results were compared with previously published experimental and simulated data with a good agreement between them.

文摘Based on the concept of a diffusion absorption system,a hot-cold conversion pipe utilizing 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane(R134 a)-dimethylformamide(DMF)-helium(He)as the working pair is presented with the aim of cooling output by recovering the low-grade waste heat.The model of the hot-cold conversion pipe is established,in which a heat pipe is used to transfer the waste heat as the heat input.The equations of the thermodynamic properties of the working pair are established by equation of state method(EOS).The model of the hot-cold conversion pipe is built based on the mass,species and energy balance equations of each component.The direct conversion of heat to cold is achieved by the desorption,absorption,condensation and diffusion evaporation processes of R134 a.The hot-cold conversion pipe is cooled by natural convection,which can be enhanced by chimney effect.The thermodynamic analysis is carried out to analyze the effect of the boundary conditions,i.e.the heat source temperature,the refrigeration temperature,and the environmental temperature,on the system performance.This paper provides a theoretical basis for actual application of the hot-cold conversion pipe in waste heat recovery field.

文摘This paper presents a new supercritical carbon dioxide(SCO_(2))cannon based on the carbon dioxide(CO_(2))’s thermodynamic cycle under constant volume.First,Virial equation and NIST database are applied to formulate SCO_(2)’s property and analyze the thermodynamic cycle,which is aimed to get the optimization equation using the cannon’s exit velocity as objective function.Then the cannon’s structural parameters,such as diaphragm thickness and barrel length,and CO_(2)’s filling mass,are optimized.Finally,the flow field and velocity’s change during the launch process is performed with FLUENT.In field test,the ultra-high pressure sensor and ultra-high speed camera are used to measure the pressure distribution along the barrel’s axial direction and the projectile’s exit velocity under different conditions.The results show that all the performance indexes meet the design requirement.The innovative SCO_(2)cannon in this paper has obvious advantages such as high safety,low cost and fast loading,which can be applied in many situations such as disaster relief,peacekeeping and anti-terrorism.Moreover,the unique energy storage method and thermodynamic design ensure its subsequent development.

文摘[Objective] The study aimed to discuss the factors influencing the application of shaping biomass energy in the NHJHe absorption re- frigeration system. [ Method] In the NHJHe absorption refrigeration system, the thermodynamic analysis of semi-gasification furnace based on sec- tional combustion technology and absorption refrigeration system was performed. [ Result] Biomass could burn cleanly and efficiently in the semi- gasification furnace, which can reduce the environmental pollution caused by the combustion of coal and other fossil fuels. The heating power of the furnace for the absorption refrigeration system could not be too high, so biomass energy and other low-grade energy can be used as heat sources, which opens up a new way for the utilization of biomass energy. [ Conclusion] Biomass energy was applied successfully in the absorption refrigera- tion system.
