A T-type rectangular microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of 408μm was used. Operating parameters, i.e. temperature, pressure and molar ratio of MEA to CO2 were studied. Under 3 MPa pressure, the mole fraction of CO2 in gaslphase could decrease from 32.3% to 300×10-6 at least when gas hourly space velocity ranged from 14400 to 68600 h- and molar ratio of MEA to CO2 was kept at 2.2. In particular, the effects of temperature on CO2 absorption flux, mass transfer driving force, gas-liquid contact time and en- hancement factor were analyzed in detail and found that mass transfer enhancement by chemical reaction was a crucial factor for the orocess of CO9 absorotion.展开更多

It is demonstrated that these methods are available for the steady-state model, which may be expressed as a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) with two-point boundary values. This method makes it possible not only to obtain the concentration profiles for MDEA system, but also to reveal the effect of CO2 interfacial concentration on the enhancement factor. With this numerical simulation, the mass transfer process with multicomponent diffusion and reactions can be better understood.展开更多

The swelling equilibria for both gels were obtained in aqueous solution of ethanol with concentration ranging from 0 to 100%(by mass) at 25℃. The swollen gel in water shrank first with the addition of a small amount of ethanol and then reswelled with further addition of ethanol showing not only a discontinuous volume phase transition but also a typical reentrant phenomenon. A thermodynamic model based on the UNIQUAC with the 'free-volume' contribution was applied to correlate and predict the swelling behavior of the poly(NIPAAM)-gels in ethanol-water mixture.展开更多

In this work, the thermodynamics of CO_2 in aqueous solution of N-methyldiethanolamine(MDEA) and piperazine(PZ) is studied by the electrolyte non-random two liquids(NRTL) model. The chemical equilibrium constants are calculated from the free Gibbs energy of formation, and the Henry's constants of CO_2 in MDEA and PZ are regressed to revise the value in the pure water. New experimental data from literatures are added to the regression process. Therefore, this model should provide a comprehensive thermodynamic representation for the quaternary system with broader ranges and more accurate predictions than previous work. Model results are compared to the experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE), speciation and heat of absorption data, which show that the model can predict the experimental data with reasonable accuracy.展开更多
