Technical science and innovation

in this study, a method for determining the concentration of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in plant materials using Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy of Broussonetia papyrefera was developed and tested. The procedure is based on the use of calibration functions that reflect the dependence of the intensity of analytical absorption lines on the concentration of lignin (1512 cm-1) and cellulose (1450 cm-1) in standard samples; indirect correlation was used for hemicellulose. The model samples were ternary mixtures composed of lignin, bacterial cellulose and hemicellulose in different proportions. The proposed method was tested on a wide range of plant biomass samples.

Pozzolanic Reactivity Of Carbonated High-Calcium Fly Ash: A Mechanism Study, Gao Deng, Nannan Zhang, Wenyu Liao, Hongyan Ma, Yongjia He, Linnu Lu, Lingyu Chi

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This research investigates the impact of accelerated carbonation treatment on the pozzolanic reactivity of high-calcium fly ash (HFA) by monitoring the reaction heat of HFA/carbonated HFA (CFA)-calcium hydroxide (CH) blends and elucidates the underlying factors influencing the pozzolanic reactivity. The results indicate that in HFA/CFA-CH blends, CFA exhibits a comparable pozzolanic reactivity to that of HFA. This is attributed to the carbonation products accelerating the formation of MonoCarb aluminate (main) and C-S-H, compensating for the reduced heat resulting from the diminished highly reactive components after the carbonation treatment. Additionally, the increased surface area due to carbonation treatment is favorable for …

Thermo-Structural Analysis Of Stiffened Fgm Panels With Cutout Under Non Uniform And Localized In-Plane Edge Loadings, Balaraman P

Theses and Dissertations

Most aerospace applications involve structural components with a high stiffness-toweight ratio and excellent resistance to high temperatures. Buckling, vibration as well as other forms of instability are the consequences of a non uniform stress field caused by non uniform, localized edge loadings and the presence of discontinuities. In order to improve structural properties and increase load bearing capacity, designers concentrate on structural integrity, especially in high-temperature applications. The adaptability and customizable nature of functionally graded material (FGM) make it valuable in addressing these challenges.

An Experiment Study On Implementing Syngas On A Small Generator Set, Bui Van Chinh, Khong Vu Quang, Khanh Nguyen Duc

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

This paper presents an experiment on syngas's influence on the performance and pollutant characteristics of a mechanical diesel engine generator set. Using syngas as an external fuel is good for medium and light loads of less than 80%. While a moderate substitution of syngas will contribute to good performance at high loads, a larger level of syngas provided may degrade engine performance. The brake-specific energy consumption rises as the replacement syngas flow increases. Using syngas as an external fuel to substitute for a part of the diesel might cause the engine to perform unstablely. The more syngas replacements, the greater …
