The experiment was carded out in a constant volume vessel with a horizontal circulation pipe and a peristaltic pump forced CO2 saturated water to flow. The temperature and pressure were recorded. The results showed that some CO2 escaped from the water in the flow process and the pressure increased, indicating that the gas-liquid equilibrium was broken. The amount of escaped CO2 varied with flow speed and reached a limit in a few minutes, entitled dy- namic equilibrium. Temperature and liquid movement played the same important role in breaking the phase equilib- rium. Under the experimental conditions, the ratio of the excessive carbon dioxide in the gas phase to its thermody- namic equilibrium amount in the liquid could achieve 15%.展开更多

Two kinds of asymmetries(droplet location deviation from the symmetric geometry center and different flow rates at two symmetric outlets) generate asymmetric flow fields near the droplet, which results in the asymmetric breakup of the latter. Four typical breakup regimes(no breakup, one-side breakup, retraction breakup and direct breakup) have been observed.Two regime maps are plotted to describe the transition from one regime to another for the two types of different asymmetries, respectively. A power law model, which is based on the three critical factors(the capillary number,the asymmetry of flow fields and the initial volume ratio), is employed to predict the volume ratio of the two unequal daughter droplets generated in the direct breakup. The influences of capillary numbers and the asymmetries have been studied systematically in this paper. The larger the asymmetry is, the bigger the oneside breakup zone is. The larger the capillary number is, the more possible the breakup is in the direct breakup zone. When the radius of the initial droplet is 20 μm, the critical capillary numbers are 0.122, 0.128, 0.145,0.165, 0.192 and 0.226 for flow asymmetry factor AS= 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, respectively, in the flow system whose asymmetry is generated by location deviations. In the flow system whose asymmetry is generated by two different flow rates at two outlets, the critical capillary numbers are 0.121, 0.133, 0.145, 0.156 and 0.167 for AS= 1/21, 3/23, 1/5, 7/27 and 9/29, respectively.展开更多

Centralized regulation by changing power has no influence on system stability; centralized regulation by changing resistances will decrease system stability. Pump characteristics curve influences system stability, stability of the flat characteristic is superior to the steep one. For direct return system (DRS), the stability of subcircuit which is farthest from the heat source is the worst. For reverse return system (RRS), the stability of subcircuit in the middle of the pipe-network has the worst stability. Overall, stability of RRS is inferior to that of DRS.展开更多

In this work, a cobalt-based phosphate sensor was successfully fabricated using the screen printing technology for the determination of phosphate concentration in the aqueous solution. The disposable sensor consists of a fully integrated cobalt (Co) electrode, which is a layer of carbon conductive ink (C) physically doped with Co powder, and Ag/AgCI reference electrode. The SEM images show that the morphology of the Co electrode changes after exposure to the phosphate solution, indicating that the expendable reaction exists during the measurement. At the Co/C ratio of 1:99, the cobalt-based phosphate sensor shows phosphate-selective potential response in the range of 10-4 to 10-1 mol/L, yielding a detection limit of lxl0-5 mol/L and a slope of over 30 mV/decade in acidic solution (pH 4.5) for HzPO4-. The proposed screen-printed sensor also ex- hibited significant reproducibility with a small repeated sensing deviation (i.e., relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 0.5%) on a single sensor and a small electrode-to-electrode deviation (i.e., R.S.D. 〈 3.2%). The recovery study of HzPO4- in real wastewater samples gave values from 95.4% to 101.8%, confirming its application potential in the measurement of phosphate in real samples. Apart from its high selectivity, sensitivity, and stability comparable with a conventional bulk Co-wire electrode, the proposed phosphate sensor still yields many other advantages, such as low price, compactness, ease of use, and the possibility of integration with other analytical devices such as flow injection analysis.展开更多
