Design and optimization of isolated energy systems through pinch analysisAbstract Isolated energy systems seem to be a promising option for electrifying remote locations where grid extension is not feasible or economical. Integration of battery bank as means of energy storage with different renewable energy systems can enhance the system reliability and its overall performance. Therefore, appropriate choices of generator sizes and the ba... ... hiện toàn bộ

CFD modeling of rotary cement kilnsAbstract Rotary cement kilns are widely used to convert calcineous raw meal into cement clinker, and are key components in the cement industry. In this article, we report a comprehensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD)‐based model to capture key transport processes in rotary cement kilns. Separate but coupled computational models were developed for the bed and th... ... hiện toàn bộ

An analytical study on settling of non‐spherical particlesAbstract The clarification of the unsteady falling movement of immersed bodies in fluids occurs in several natural situations and many manufacturing processes, e.g. particulate processing and two‐phase solid–liquid applications. In this paper, the acceleration motion of a spherical particle in an incompressible Newtonian environment has been studied for a wide range... ... hiện toàn bộ

Ethanol‐tolerant Pt‐alloy cathodes for direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) applicationsAbstract The electroactivity of Pt1 Co1 (a/o)/C and Pt3 Cr1 (a/o)/C for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in ethanol‐containing medium was studied. It was found that these cathodes present a high tolerance to this alcohol. The onset potential of the ORR decreased at 14 and 12 mV in the... ... hiện toàn bộ

An exergy calculator tool for process simulationAbstract The constant tightening of environmental regulations and the ongoing need to reduce operating costs have posed a challenge for the design of any chemical process. Process engineers use process simulators to help them perform calculations that will, ultimately, result in design parameters or operating conditions for a plant or process. Exergy is a potential ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Discussion of shale rock wettability and the methods to determine itAbstract Because of ultra‐low permeability of shale rocks, capillary pressure is very high. Wettability not only determines the value of capillary pressure, but, more importantly, it also determines whether the capillary pressure is a driving force or a resistance to fluid flow. This paper is to address the wettability characteristics of shale rocks. First, the comm... ... hiện toàn bộ

Optimization of reactive distillation processes using differential evolution strategiesAbstract Many problems of process synthesis and design in chemical engineering can be modeled as mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. They include both the continuous (floating point) and integer variables. A common feature of this class of mathematical problems is the potential existence of nonconvexities due to a particular form of the objective f... ... hiện toàn bộ

Comparative kinetics of esterification of methanol–acetic acid in the presence of liquid and solid catalystsABSTRACT Esterification of acetic acid with methanol to produce methyl acetate in an isothermal stirred batch reactor has been studied. Sulfuric acid was used as a liquid catalyst, and Indion‐180, Indion‐190 and Amberlyst‐16wet ion exchange resins were used as solid catalysts. The feed mole ratio was varied from 1 : 1 to 1 : 4. The reaction temperatures were varied ... ... hiện toàn bộ

The energy challenge of direct contact membrane distillation in low temperature concentrationAbstract Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) was operated at low temperatures from 25 to 40 °C to suit the purpose of thermally concentrating sensitive liquid foods, especially fruit juices to high solid content concentrate with most of the quality attributes preserved. A lab scale DCMD unit has been set up at the Centre for Plant and Food Sc... ... hiện toàn bộ

Ammonium ion removal using activated zeolite and chitosanAbstract Studies have previously been done on efficacies of chitosan and zeolite in ammonium ion (NH4 + ) removal. However, no study compares the adsorption performance of natural zeolite (NZ) and activated NZ (ANZ) with high molecular weight chitosan (HMWC) and low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC). Hence, this study investiga... ... hiện toàn bộ
