Influence of Pore Size,Salinity and Gas Composition upon the Hydrate Formation Conditions

An experimental device was set up to study the hydrate formation conditions.Effects of pore size,salinity,and gas composition on the formation and dissociation of hydrates were investigated.The result indicates that the induction time for the formation of hydrates in porous media is shorter than that in pure water.The decrease in pore size,by decreasing the size of glass beads,increases the equilibrium pressure when the salinity and temperature are kept constant.In addition,higher salinity causes higher equilibrium pressure when the pore size and temperature are kept constant.It is found that the effects of pore size and salinity on the hydrate equilibrium are quite different.At lower methane concentration,the hydrate equilibrium is achieved at lower pressure and higher temperature.

Potential Energy Surface of Cytosine and Tunneling Between Its Normal and Trans-imino Tautomer

The potential energy surface of H（13） proton in base cytosine of the DNA molecules is calculated at the Caussian 98 MP2/6-311C（d,p） level. Two potential wells are found. One corresponds to the normal cytosine, while the other corresponds to its trans-imino tautomer. The estimated tunneling probability of the H（13） proton from one well to another well shows that the life time of the proton staying in one of these wells is about 600 yrs. It is too long to let tautomers of cytosine be in thermodynamical equilibrium in a room temperature gas phase experiment.

Experiment study of optimization on prediction index gases of coal spontaneous combustion

The coal of Anyuan Mine has the characteristic of easy spontaneous combustion. Conventional method is difficult to predict it. Coal samples from this mine were tested in laboratory. The data obtained from laboratory determination were initialized for the value which was defined as "K". The ratio of each index gas and value of "K", and the ratio of combination index gases and value of "K", were analyzed simultaneously. The research results show that for this coal mine, if there is carbon monoxide in the gas sample, the phenomenon of oxidation and temperature rising for coal exists in this mine; if there is C_2H_4 in the gas sample, the temperature of coal perhaps exceeds 130 °C. If the coal temperature is between 35 °C and 130 °C, prediction and forecast for coal spontaneous combustion depend on the value of Φ(CO)/K mainly; if the temperature of coal is between 130 °C and 300 °C, prediction and forecast for coal spontaneous combustion depend on the value of Φ(C_2H_6)/Φ(C_2H_2) and Φ(C_2H_6)/K. The research results provide experimental basis for the prediction of coal spontaneous combustion in Anyuan coal mine, and have better guidance on safe production of this coal mine.

Oxidation kinetics regularity in spontaneous combustion of gas coal

In order to investigate the oxidation kinetics of gas coal at low temperatures, we derived a rate equation of oxygen consumption during low-temperature oxidation of gas coal and deduced an E-c equation, expressing the relation between active energy E and oxygen concentration c. The reaction order n and active energy E were calculated with this equation based on experiments of static oxygen consumption tests. In addition, we proved the rationality of the E-c equation using a kinetic compensation effect and obtained the isokinetic temperature Tc. The results show that： 1） the gas coal oxidizes easily with increasing temperature and the oxidation tends to be spontaneous at higher temperatures; 2） the oxygen concentration c affects oxygen consumption very much at lower temperatures but has only a small effect at higher temperatures; 3） the isokinetic temperature Tc was 127 ℃ which has been experimentally validated as the key turning point during low-temperature spontaneous combustion of gas coal.

An Experimental Study on the Drag Property of High-Temperature Particles Falling into Cold Liquid Pool

This experiment is to study the special resistant induced by the high-speed evaporation surrounding themoving high-temperature particles. An observable equipment was designed, in which the first 11 experiments wereperformed by pouring one or several Zirconia spheres with various high-temperature and a diameter of 3～ 10 mminto a water pool. The particles falling-down speeds were recorded by high-speed photographic instrumentation,and pressures and water temperatures were measured. A comparison between the experiments with cold and hotspheres respectively, employing three different sphere types each, was presented. The experimental data, com-pared with the theory of the evaporation drag model, are nearly identical.

Study on the comparison of the pyrolysis gas release of lignite and its briquette

In this experiment, lignite was refined and processed through binderless briquette preparation process from low-rank coal and became briquette. Then, lignite and its briquette were pyrolysed as materials to compare the nature of their pyrolysis. In this study, the experiment was carried out through a lab tube furnace, at a heating rate of 10 ~C/min, and the gas was analyzed and compared, which was collected at different temperatures. The results show that： in the pyrolysis temperature of 550-850 ℃, the semi-coke yield of briquette is 2%-6% higher than lignite, the tar yield of briquette is 2%-3% higher than lignite and the gas yield of briquette is 4%-9% less than lignite. The time required for complete release of the briquette is about 20 min less than lignite. The components in the pyrolysis gas of lignite and its briquette are the same, and their variation with the pyrolysis temperature is similar.

Effects of groove on behavior of flow between hydro-viscous drive plates

The flow between a grooved and a flat plate was presented to investigate the effects of groove on the behavior of hydro-viscous drive. The flow was solved by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent. Parameters related to the flow, such as velocity, pressure, temperature, axial force and viscous torque, are obtained. The results show that pressure at the upstream notch is negative, pressure at the downstream notch is positive and pressure along the film thickness is almost the same. Dynamic pressure peak decreases as groove depth or groove number increases, but increases as output rotary speed increases. Consequently, the groove depth is suggested to be around 0.4 mm. Both the groove itself and groove parameters (i.e. groove depth, groove number) have little effect on the flow temperature. Circumferential pressure gradient induced by the groove weakens the viscous torque on the grooved plate (driven plate) greatly. It has little change as the groove depth increases. However, it decreases dramatically as the groove number increases. The experiment results show that the trend of experimental temperature and pressure are the same with numerical results. And the output rotary speed also has relationship with input flow rate and flow temperature.

Control of combustion area using electrical resistivity method for underground coal gasification

Underground coal gasification （UCG） is one of the clean technologies to collect heat energy and gases （hydrogen, methane, etc.） in an underground coal seam. It is necessary to further developing environ- mentally friendly UCG system construction. One of the most important UCG＇s problems is underground control of combustion area for efficient gas production, estimation of subsidence and gas leakage to the surface. For this objective, laboratory experiments were conducted according to the UCG model to iden- ti[y the process of combustion cavity development by monitoring the electrical resistivity activity on the coal samples to setup fundamental data for the technology engineering to evaluate combustion area. While burning coal specimens, that had been sampled from various coal deposits, electrical resistivity was monitored. Symmetric four electrodes system （ABMN） of direct and low-frequency current electric resistance method was used for laboratory resistivity measurement of rock samples. Made research and the results suggest that front-end of electro conductivity activity during heating and combusting of coal specimen depended on heating temperature. Combusting coal electro conductivity has compli- cated multistage type of change. Electrical resistivity method is expected to be a useful geophysical tool to for evaluation of combustion volume and its migration in the coal seam.

Field Performance Analysis of Shoes Used in the Takraw Games in Malaysia

Using proper footwear is crucial to avoid pain, deformations and injuries on foot. For athletes, a pair of good shoes is vital for comfort and may add to performance improvement. The main objective of this study is to study the performance of some commonly used shoes in the takraw games by using experimental tests and thermal measurements. The momentum and kinetic energies that were generated by the takraw shoes were also measured. The methods used in this study included free fall test, impact force analysis and surface thermal assessment. From the outcomes of the experiments, it was found that the prototype FA shoe was better in absorption of momentum and impact force than the other shoes and also with lower surface temperature after the trial game. These outcomes suggested that it was more suitable to be worn by the takraw players for better performance. All the information obtained from this study are particularly useful for improvement on the current design oftakraw shoe.

Responses of Planetary Waves to Global Warming: Implications from CMIP3 4×CO_2 Experiments

The planetary wave response to global warm ing with single forcing of greenhouse gases （GHGs） is investigated in this study by using a total of 11 model results that anticipated CMIP3 4XCO2 experiments. It is shown that the amplitudes of the planetary wave fluxes over Siberia, the Eastern North Pacific, and the North Atlantic decrease by approximately -10% to -30% in the warming context. In particular, the vertical wave flux over the Eastern North Pacific significantly decreases by -28.6%. The weakening of the planetary waves is partly associated with the decreased land-sea thermal contrast, which may be caused by the radiation effect of CO2 and the different surface heat capacities of land and sea. The present work provides a clear understanding of the re sponses of planetary waves to GHGs forcing.

Experimental and theoretical study on thermal and moisture characteristics of new-type bamboo structure wall

Thermal and moisture characteristics of the bamboo structure wall were tested in natural climate and three representative variation processes of heat and moisture： heating from solar radiation in summer at normal temperature and humidity, heating from solar radiation in summer at normal temperature and high humidity after rain, humidifying from brash in summer at high temperature and normal humidity. The results show that, in summer, the largest temperature difference between external and internal surface of the 28 mm-thick bamboo plywood wall is 11.73℃ （at 15：40） and the largest strain difference is 136 μm/m （at 18：50）, both in ambient and indoor conditioned environment. In heating process, lengthways of the wall surface are in contracting strain while transverse ways are in expanding strain at initial stage and in contracting strain during later period. When the high temperature wall is humidified by rain, the surface temperature drops, moisture content increases and the expanding strain is presented on the surface during the whole process. Temperature and moisture content are two important factors which affect thermal and moisture stress （TMS） of the bamboo structure wall. The TMS is not only related to temperature and moisture content, but also greatly affected by temperature gradient, moisture content gradient and rates of changing.

Analysis of Film-Boiling Heat Transfer on a High Temperature Sphere Immersed into Liquid Sodium

Film-boiling heat transfer is a key phenomenon governing severe accident sequence in a sodium-cooled fast reactor. Experimental the fuel-coolant interaction process which may occur during a and theoretical work on film-boiling heat transfer in sodium has hardly been carried out in the past. An experiment has been conducted in the early seventies to investigate sodium pool boiling. In this experiment, a hot tantalum sphere was immersed into subcooled liquid sodium. Film boiling was obtained for various sets of parameters： sodium subcooling from 4.1 K to 29. 1 K, initial sphere temperature ranging from 1,802.6 K to 2,633.7 K, sphere diameters of 1.27, 1.91 and 2.54 cm and sodium depths of 7.6 cm and 11.4 cm. In the present work, a simplified analysis based on the boundary layer theory is developed to describe pool film-boiling heat transfer on a hot sphere in liquid sodium. Two extreme cases are considered depending on sodium subcooling. In the case of high subcooling, most of the heat lost by the sphere is used to heat the sodium while for low subcooling, it is used to vaporize the liquid at the liquid-vapor interface. It will be shown that the scaling analysis predicts the heat fluxes within the order of magnitude when compared to the available experimental data. Besides, it allows an estimation of the contribution of these fluxes to the liquid heating and vaporization processes.

A Comparative Study on the Fixed Bed Pyrolysis of Different Biomass Solid Wastes

Biomass in the form of nutshell, hay of catkin, wheat straw and linseed residue in particles have been pyrolyzed in laboratory scale fixed bed reactor which yielded liquid oil, solid char and gas. The variation of oil yield for different biomass feedstock with reactor bed temperature and feed size is presented in this paper. A maximum liquid yield of 55 wt% of dry feedstock is obtained at an optimum temperature of 500℃ for a feed size of 300-600μm with a running time of 55 min for nutshell as the feedstock while the minimum liquid oil yield is found to be 30 wt% of feedstock at an optimum temperature of 400℃ for a feed size of 2.36 mm with a running time of 65 min for linseed residue as the feedstock. A comparison on the product yields is highlighted in this study. The pyrolysis liquid products are characterized and compared for some of the fuel properties like HHV （higher heating value）, viscosity, density and specific gravity.

In situ observations of tungsten speciation and partitioning behavior during fluid exsolution from granitic melt

Most economically important tungsten(W)deposits are of magmatic-hydrothermal origin.The species and partitioning of W during fluid exsolution,considered to be the controlling factors for the formation of ore deposits,are thus of great significance to investigate.However,this issue has not been well addressed mainly due to the significant difference in reported partition coefficients(e.g.,from strongly incompatible to strongly compatible)between fluid and melt(D_(W)^(fluid/melt)).Here,we used an in situ Raman spectroscopic approach to describe the W speciation,and to quantitatively determine the Dfluid/melt of individual and total W species in granite melts and coexisting Na2WO4 solutions at elevated temperatures(T;700–800C)and pressures(P;0.35–1.08 GPa).Results show that WO_(4)^(2-)and HWO4are predominant W species,and the fractions of these two species are similar in melt and coexisting fluid.The partitioning behaviors of WO_(4)^(2-)and HWO4are comparable,exhibiting strong enrichment in the fluid.The total DW fluid/melt ranges from 8.6 to 37.1.Specifically,DW fluid/melt decreases with rising T–P,indicating that shallow exsolution favors enrichment of W in evolved fluids.Furthermore,Rayleigh fractionation modeling based on the obtained D_(W)^(fluid/melt)data was used to describe the fluid exsolution processes.Our results strongly support that fluid exsolution can serve as an important mechanism to generate W-rich oreforming fluids.This study also indicates that in situ approach can be used to further investigate the geochemical behavior of ore-forming elements during the magmatic-hydrothermal transition,especially for rare metals associated with granite and pegmatite.

Surface of room temperature ionic liquid [bmim][PF_6] studied by polarization- and experimental configuration-dependent sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy

Understanding and control of the surface properties such as molecular orientations are of great importance in numerous applications of ionic liquids. However, there remain discrepancies among the previous experimental and theoretical studies on the surface orientation and structures of room temperature ionic liquids(RTIL) systems. In this article, the orientation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium([bmin]) cation at the air/liquid interface of a characteristic RTIL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([bmim][PF6]), was investigated by the sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy(SFG-VS). Detailed polarization and experimental configuration analyses of the SFG-VS spectra showed the possibility of a small spectral splitting in the CH3 symmetric stretching region, which can be further attributed to the probable existence of multiple orientations for the interfacial [bmim] cations. In addition, the(N)–CH3 vibrations were absent, ruling out the prediction by several recent molecular dynamics simulations which state that portions of the [bmim] cations orient with a standing-up(N)–CH3 group at the ionic liquid surface. Hence, new realistic theoretical models have to be developed to reflect the complex nature of the ionic liquid surface.
