Inrtevep S. A. is working on developing technologies to convert heavy and extra-heavy crude oil using this type of reactors. Volumetric gas hold up, flow pattern, average gas bubble size, average interfacial area, RTD (residence time distribution), dispersion coefficient, Peclet number are important design parameters for a proper scale up of them. Several cold model experiments have been proposed to determine the previously mentioned parameters at atmospheric conditions, using a plexiglas bubble column reactor at pilot plant scale unit (12 cm diameter). It was also evaluated our own design of internal trays (plates) in the reactor. Air-tap water and air-light oil systems have been used. A wide operating condition range was applied, superficial gas velocity between 0.5-10 cm/s, liquid flowrate between 15-65 I/h. Generally speaking, working without internal trays was found that gas hold up increase along the reactor and it was possible to identify heterogeneous bubble, transition and turbulent flow pattern areas for the air-light oil system. Average gas bubble size increase along the reactor at bubble regime from 2-5 mm but at turbulent regime, stay oscillating between 1-3 mm. Average interfacial area increases exponentially with superficial gas velocity at any reactor height, till 1,412 m2/m3 for the air-light oil system but, at bubble flow regime, the average interfacial area is lower than 100 m2/m3, which negatively impact the reactor performance. Internal trays in the reactor always increase gas hold up at any condition or system used. Residence time distributions curves, Peclet numbers and dispersion coefficients founded, show that this reactor with this kind of design internal trays still tends to be a complete mixing reactor under the operating conditions used.展开更多

It is often used as a saturated two-phase fluid in these applications to take advantage of self-pressurization. Recent interest in using this oxidizer in regeneratively cooled engines requires a detailed heat transfer process analysis to the coolant, in order to quantify performance. Since the injection of N2O typically takes place in the two-phase region, our study focuses on heat transfer rates in this region, and extends the region to include superheated vapor. This analysis is critical for these cooling applications, because the exothermic decomposition nature of N2O also means that unchecked heating in the superheated region may result in a runaway reaction in the cooling passages. Furthermore, provided that sufficient heat transfer rates are available, N2O is expected to accelerate in the cooling passages due to Rayleigh flow effects much like those of a calorically perfect gas. The proximity of superheated N2O to its saturated vapor curve, at the conditions studied here, makes the suitability of a perfect gas model questionable, but that benchmarks is still useful. This paper presents the development of an experimental apparatus (a "Rayleigh tube"), specifically designed to study this problem, and test the analytical methods developed to model it. Since we focus on the development of the apparatus, the data presented were uses primarily calorically perfect gas surrogates, but the goal is to apply the apparatus and method to N2O. The design and construction of the Rayleigh tube is presented, along with preliminary results with perfect gases. Finally, we present preliminary results on heated N2O flow. Using a simple model for predicted dry-out point, we investigate where superheating may be expected to occur. We present estimates of critical heating and compare them to the heat required to achieve self-decomposition.展开更多

METHODS: The new apparatus (Patent No. 201120101911.5) includes air renewal and recycling systems, a gas generating device, a gas control unit, and a device to measure and control tem- perature and humidity.

Sprague-dawley rats were tested for acute and sub-chronic toxicity after exposure to moxa-burning smoke.RESULTS: We found an LQ0 of 1.2× 10^4 mg/m^3 in the acute toxicity assays. In sub-chronic toxicity tests the organ coefficients studied showed no sig-nificant differences within rats groups of the same gender after treatment with moxa smoke or a month of recovery. However, mean gray degree of lung 70 heat shock protein (HSP70) was significantly elevated in the high dose group in comparison with the low dose group (P 〈 0.05), mean gray degree, mean optical density, gross area of HSP70 in other organs and caspase-9 parameters showed no significant differences between groups.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that moxa smoke had no overt toxicity in rats. This work pro- vides evidence and reference for the design of dy- namic inhalation exposure systems.展开更多

Like two- and three-dimensional ones, Onedimensional systems are important in a complete understanding of the topological properties. One-dimensional topological phases have been realized using current experimental setups. Specially the signatures of Majorana fermions have been observed in onedimensional topological superconductors engineered with Rashiba nanowires. From the many studies, the paper reviews typical theoretical models of one-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors. For one-dimensional topological insulators, we introduce the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger, superlattices and Creutz models, while for topological superconductors the Kitaev model and Rashiba nanowire are introduced. These models not only provide an overview of one-dimensional topological phases, but also are the starting points for further studies.展开更多

In this paper, we study the feasibility of operating the Shanghai X-ray free-electron laser test facility with a single stage EEHG setup. With a combina- tion of existing numerical codes, start-to-end simulations considering various three-dimensional effects have been carried out to show the possible performance of the EEHG FEL. Simulation results demonstrate that a single stage EEHG can generate high power soft X-ray radiation pulses with narrow bandwidth directly from UV seed lasers. With the help of the harmonic lasing technique or upgraded linac, we also show the possibility of generating coherent soft X-ray radiation in the "water window" with a single stage EEHG.展开更多
