Sorption-Enhanced Steam Reforming Of Hydrocarbons With Autothermal Sorbent Regeneration In A Moving Heat Wave Of Catalytic Combustion Reaction, Andrey N. Zagoruiko, Alexey G. Okunev
Sorption-Enhanced Steam Reforming Of Hydrocarbons With Autothermal Sorbent Regeneration In A Moving Heat Wave Of Catalytic Combustion Reaction, Andrey N. Zagoruiko, Alexey G. Okunev
Andrey N Zagoruiko
Novel technological concept of sorption-enhanced hydrocarbon steam reforming with autothermal regeneration of the carbon dioxide scavenger in the moving super-adiabatic heat wave of the exothermic catalytic combustion reaction performed directly inside the adsorption-catalytic bed is presented. Process modelling results, confirming the capability and high efficiency of the proposed technological approach, are discussed. It is shown that proposed approach opens the way for creation of cheap, reliable and energy-saving adiabatic packed bed methane processors of unlimited processing capacity.
Modeling, Simulation And Optimization For The Catalytic Reactor Of The Methanol Oxidative Dehydration, Seif-Eddeen Fateen, Mohammad A. Hassan, Tarek Moustafa
Modeling, Simulation And Optimization For The Catalytic Reactor Of The Methanol Oxidative Dehydration, Seif-Eddeen Fateen, Mohammad A. Hassan, Tarek Moustafa
Mohammad Abouelreesh Hassan
A steady state model was developed to investigate the performance of the catalytic partial oxidation tubular reactor for methanol oxidative dehydrogenation. The model utilized the kinetics developed from experimental results for the main reaction and three side reactions. The partial differential equations included in the model were the mass transfer equations for the seven components and the energy balance. Those equations were numerically solved in two dimensions using COMSOL. The results indicated that the difference between the centerline temperature and the wall temperature can by as high as 50°C. A parametric study was done to investigate the critical and optimum …
Effect Of The Mode Of Heat Withdrawal On The Asymmetry Of Temperature Profiles In Reverse-Flowreactors. Catalytic Combustion Of Methane As A Test Case, Krzysztof Jan Gosiewski, Krzysztof Warmuzinski
Effect Of The Mode Of Heat Withdrawal On The Asymmetry Of Temperature Profiles In Reverse-Flowreactors. Catalytic Combustion Of Methane As A Test Case, Krzysztof Jan Gosiewski, Krzysztof Warmuzinski
Krzysztof Gosiewski
Results of simulations are presented concerning a reverse-flow reactor for the catalytic combustion of methane that occurs in coal-mine ventilation air. Two variants of heat withdrawal are analysed. The simulations show that a relation exists between the method for heat withdrawal and the asymmetry in the profiles of the catalyst temperature over half-cycles of flow reversal. Too strong asymmetry impairs the efficient utilization of the heat produced. The results reveal that the recovery of heat by hot gas withdrawal from the central part of the reactor, and then, the introduction of the gas into a boiler wherein it is cooled …

Assessing The Possibility Of Corrosion Occurrence In Metallic Stacks Caused By Hydrochloric Acid, João F. Gomes
João F Gomes
This article presents a simple method to estimate the possibility of corrosion in metallic stacks and surfaces due to hydrochloric acid deposition from stack gases, based on the HCl content in gases and also the flue gas temperature
New Technologies For Effective Forest Fire Fighting, João Gomes
New Technologies For Effective Forest Fire Fighting, João Gomes
João F Gomes
Efficient fire extinction with water could be greatly improved by using superabsorbent polymers, added to the water used for fire fighting, or sprayed over surfaces of combustible materials in order to protect them from fire. Specially developed superabsorbent polymers such as acrylamide/2-acrylamide-2-methyl-propane-sulphonate (AA/AMPS) seem to be particularly efficient for this purpose. In terms of water absorption, the experimental tests performed, showed that the optimal composition of this polymer is 30:70 AMPS versus AA, using 0.5% of bis-acrylamide (BA) as crosslinking agent.
Deriving An Indoor Environmental Index For Portuguese Office Buildings, João F. Gomes
Deriving An Indoor Environmental Index For Portuguese Office Buildings, João F. Gomes
João F Gomes
The EC issued a Directive in 2002 aiming to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, which was adopted by the EU member states and came into force in 2006. Portugal adopted it by issuing law decrees in 2006 which considered not only the energy saving aspects but also additional specific measures aiming to protect indoor air quality (IAQ). This new legislation is now being enforced and it will be necessary to define compliance acceptance levels for the prescribed indoor air limits. The use of comfort or environmental indexes could be of considerable help in order to ameliorate the evaluation of …

Measurements Of Indoor Air Pollutant Levels In A University Office Building, João F. Gomes
Measurements Of Indoor Air Pollutant Levels In A University Office Building, João F. Gomes
João F Gomes
This work consisted of a series of determinations performed in typical rooms of a building belonging to the Technical University of Lisbon, which is located in a central urban area of Lisbon. The main objective was to evaluate the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of the rooms so that further corrective measures could be taken if unsatisfactory IAQ levels were to be found. Correlations were derived, between indoor and outdoor pollutant concentrations, in order to assess the existence of contaminations coming from outside. Also, correlations were derived between total volatile organic compounds (VOC) concentrations and specific individual organic species measured in …
Reflections On The Use Of The Mccabe And Thiele Method, João F. Gomes
Reflections On The Use Of The Mccabe And Thiele Method, João F. Gomes
João F Gomes
This paper reflects on the continuity of teaching the McCabe and Thiele method on chemical engineering courses for understanding the vapour-liquid equilibrium phenomena involved in distillation. Some exercises comparing the results obtained by this method as well as by other accurate analytical methods are presented and solved, as they are taught in ISEL courses. Because of its accuracy and easiness of use, and also because of the fact as this method allows an easy visualisation of the whole operation itself, the McCabe and Thiele method continues to be widespread used and students show a remarkable adherence to it.
