The gas and liquid products were analyzed by GC/TCD, and TOC analyzer. The main gas products were H2, CH4, CO and CO2. Pressure change had no significant influence on gasification efficiency. Higher temperature and longer residence time enhanced gasification efficiency, and lower temperature favored the production of H2. The effects of KOH catalyst on gas product composition were studied, and gasification efficiency were analyzed. The TOC removal efficiency (RTOC), carbon gasification ratio (RCG) and hydrogen gasification ratio (RHG) were up to 96.00%, 95.92% and 126.40% at 873 K and 60 s, respectively, which suggests PVA can be completely gasified in SCW. The results indicate supercritical water gasification for hydrogen generation is a promising process for the treatment ofPVA wastewater.展开更多

In this paper, a multi-field coupling model that integrates fluid flow, heat transfer and thermal stress is proposed to solve the complex problem. The effects of the key operating parameters on the performances of the cooling wall are numerically investigated. More details of the characteristics of fluid dynamics, thermal stress, pressure drop, coupled heat transfer and the whole flow and temperature fields in the S-CO_(2) cooling wall are revealed and discussed. A comparison study is made between the cooling wall tube and waterwall tube. Both temperature and thermal deformations of cooling wall tube are much higher than that of water. Numerical simulation results indicate that inclination angle has little effects on the temperature distribution, while increase of pressure drop is obvious as the inclination angle increases. Increasing tube diameter can effectively reduce both the pressure drop and the temperature of the cooling wall tube. As a result, a new insight is introduced for the design of S-CO_(2) power cycle.展开更多
