Interaction Of Sodium, Sulfur, And Silica During Coal Combustion, Thomas A. Erickson, Douglas K. Ludlow, Steven A. Benson Jul 1991

Interaction Of Sodium, Sulfur, And Silica During Coal Combustion, Thomas A. Erickson, Douglas K. Ludlow, Steven A. Benson

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Interaction of Sodium, Sulfur, and Silica at Conditions Typical in a Pulverized Coal Furnace Was Investigated by using Both Model Mixtures and a Synthetic Coal. the Model Mixtures Consisted of Selected Inorganic Constituents that Were Well Mixed in Proportions Typically Found in Low-Rank Coal. the Synthetic Coal Consisted of a Furfuryl Alcohol Polymer with Appropriate Amounts of Sodium, Sulfur, and Silica to Duplicate the Characteristics of Low-Rank Coal. the Model Mixtures and Synthetic Coal Were Burned in a Laminar Flow (Drop-Tube) Furnace at 900, 1100, 1300, and 1500 °C and Residence Times of 0.1,0.5,1.5, and 2.4 S. the Resulting …


Network Model Investigation Of Gas Transport In Bidisperse Porous Adsorbents, John H. Petropoulos, John K. Petrou, Athanasios I. Liapis Jun 1991

A capillary network model consisting of a micropore network permeated by one of macropores of randomly varying size has been constructed. Although simplified (to keep computer space and time requirements low) in relation to a real bidisperse porous adsorbent or catalyst, it embodies the salient pore structural features likely to determine the gas-transport behavior of such porous solids. Suitable model calculations of Knudsen gas-phase and surface diffusion enabled us to (i) validate useful approximate methods for the more economical evaluation of network permeability and (ii) demonstrate certain important characteristic effects of nonrandom bidisperse pore structure on transport behavior and their …


Removal Of Chlorine From Chlorine-Nitrogen Mixture In A Film Of Liquid Water, Sarwan S. Sandhu Apr 1991

Removal Of Chlorine From Chlorine-Nitrogen Mixture In A Film Of Liquid Water, Sarwan S. Sandhu

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

In industry there are many examples of absorption of a gas with or without chemical reaction in the liquid phase. In physical absorption, a particular gaseous component is removed from a gas mixture due to its larger solubility in the liquid phase solvent. The removal of butane and pentane from a refinery gas mixture by a heavy oil in the liquid phase is an example of physical absorption. In absorption with chemical reaction, the gaseous component to be removed transfers across the gas-liquid interface due to a difference in the bulk chemical potentials or concentrations in the two phases. The …


Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data For The Nh3-H2o System And Its Description With A Modified Cubic Equation Of State, Thomas M. Smolen, David B. Manley, Bruce E. Poling Apr 1991

Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data For The Nh3-H2o System And Its Description With A Modified Cubic Equation Of State, Thomas M. Smolen, David B. Manley, Bruce E. Poling

New pressure-temperature-overall composition vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are reported for the ammonia-water system at five temperatures between 20 and 140 °C and up to 500 pela. These data have been converted to T-P-x data, and vapor-phase compositions have been calculated by means of a Rediich-Kwong equation of state modified to Include Peneloux's volume translation and a density-dependent mixing rule. In order to achieve agreement of calculated vapor-phase compositions with previous literature results, H was necessary to use different kij values In the vapor and liquid phases. © 1991, American Chemical Society.
