The present study examined their influence on hot tearing susceptibility （HTS） of commercial AZ91D and newly developed Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-Zr （mass fraction, %; NZ30K） magnesium alloys in gravity permanent mold casting condition. The results indicate that mold temperature shows much more significant influence on the HTS of both alloys than pouring temperature whose influence only can be distinguished at low mold temperature （341 K for AZ91D alloy and 423 K for NZ30K alloy）. Hot tearing susceptibility prediction model concerning feeding parameters, grain size and solidification range, is more suitable to estimate the HTS of different magnesium alloys than the model only concerning feeding parameters. In order to achieve better hot tearing resistance, the ranges of pouring and mold temperatures are suggested to be 961-991 K and≥641 K for AZ91D alloy, 1003-1033 K and≥623 K for NZ30K alloy, respectively.展开更多

Experiments were conducted by varying pouring temperatures at 700, 750, and 780 ℃ on the alloy with the addition of grain refiners like Al-2.5Ti-0.5C and Al-3.5Ti-1.5C. It was found that hot tearing was minimized by the addition of Al-3.5Ti-1.5C grain refiner, but grain refinement alone could not prevent hot tearing in A713 cast alloy. This has contradicted the findings of some earlier researchers. Experiments conducted on hot tearing with the addition of iron were found to be interesting. It was found that grain refinement along with iron addition to the A713 alloy has reduced the inter-dendritic separation so that interlocking could take place along the grain boundaries. Thus, iron, which comes as an impurity in commercial aluminum, can prevent hot tearing of A713 alloy.展开更多

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.展开更多
The influence of operating parameters and type of zeolite catalysts on formation of ethylene and propylene during catalytic pyrolysis of methylcyclohexane (MCH) was studied in a laboratory fixed fluidized bed reactor....The influence of operating parameters and type of zeolite catalysts on formation of ethylene and propylene during catalytic pyrolysis of methylcyclohexane (MCH) was studied in a laboratory fixed fluidized bed reactor. The results indicated that higher reaction temperature and lower WHSV tended to produce more ethylene and propylene, among which the reaction temperature was an important factor influencing the ethylene formation. Compared with the FAU and BEA type zeolites, the MFI structured zeolite catalyst, thanks to more acid sites and smaller pore diameter of the catalyst, was conducive to the formation of ethylene and propylene. The protonation occurred on different C—C bonds and C—H bonds in the carbon chain of MCH led to different product slates, and the protonation on C—C bonds located at naphthenic ring was favorable to the formation of ethylene and propylene.展开更多

Heating rate 2 ℃/rain is considered low, while intermediate one covers the range 5 ℃/min and high heating rate is 10℃/min. The controlling parameters studied were the final pyrolysis temperature and the influence of the heating rate as well as type. The heating rate has an important effect on the pyrolysis of oil shale and the amount of residual carbon obtained therefore. It is found that increasing the heating rate and py- rolysis temperature also increases the production of oil and the total weight loss. Higher heating rates resulted in higher rates of accumulation. The rate of oil and water collection passed through the maximum of different heat- ing rates at different pyrolysis temperatures. Heating rate affected density, oil conversion and oil yield.展开更多
