Drag Coefficient And Movement Phenomena Of Free-Rising Spherical Particles, Taige Cao
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Light particles are commonly utilized as the solid phase in reverse fluidized bed reactors, especially for applications in wastewater treatment and other chemical or biochemical processes. This is primarily due to their favorable buoyancy characteristics and their ability to enhance mass transfer and mixing within the reactor. The drag coefficient related to the particle terminal velocity is one of the vital parameters for fluidized bed operation and design. However, traditional drag coefficient models are mostly based on heavy particle settling experiments. The few free-rising particle experiments have only justified the constant drag coefficient values in the high Reynolds number region, …

The unstable zinc (Zn)/electrolyte interfaces formed by undesired dendrites and parasitic side reactions greatly hinder the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries. Herein, the hydroxy-rich sorbitol was used as an additive to reshape the solvation structure and modulate the interface chemistry. The strong interactions among sorbitol and both water molecules and Zn electrode can reduce the free water activity, optimize the solvation shell of water and Zn2+ ions, and regulate the formation of local water (H2O)-poor environment on the surface of Zn electrode, which effectively inhibit the decomposition of water molecules, and thus, achieve the thermodynamically stable …
